THE SUN-BRIGHT CLIME.
HAVE you heard, have you heard of that aun-brlght clime,
Undimmed by sorrow, unhurt by time,
Where age hath no power o'er the fadeless frame.
Where the eye Is Are and the heart is flame—
Have you heard of that sun-bright climef
A river of water pushes there,
'Mid flowers of beauty strangely fair.
And a thousand wings are hovering o'er
The dar.z'llng wave and the golden shore,
That are seen in that sun-bright clime.
Millions of forms all clothed in light.
And garments of beauty, clear and white—
They dwell in their own Immortal bowers,
'Mid fadeless hues of countless flowers
That bloom In that sun-bright clime.
Ear hath not heard and eye hath not seen
Their swelling notes and their changeless sheen;
Their ensigns are waving and banners unfurl
O'er the jasper walls and gates of pearl
That are reared In thai sun-bright clime.
But far, far away Is that sinless clime,
Undlm'd by sorrow, unhurt by time;
Where amid all things that's fair Is given
The home of the Saints—and Its name is Ileaven,
The name of that sun-bright clime.

PRACTICAL HINTS TO AMATEURS.
Don't let insects of various kinds over
run your orchard or garden, and then lazi
ly fold your arms and say, 44 It's no use
this trying to raise things, now that so
many vermin are about." Spend three
days, industriously, in the early stage of
the matter, in putting down the rascals,
and then look around you and see if a lit
tle industry is not better than grumbling.
If you want early vegetables, set your
self, in winter, about making some boxes
to protect them. A few cheap boxes, a
foot square, with a pane of glass in the top
to put over tender things at night, will cost
you but a trifle, and will give you ten days
start of the open ground.
If you have a tree that grows 44 apace,"
but won't bear, dig a trench around it, and
cut off a third of the roots. This will
check its growth, and set it about making
fruit buds.
If you don't love flowers yourself, don't
quarrel with those who do. It is a defect
in your nature which you ought to be sorry
for, rather than abuse those who arc more
gifted. Of what possible 44 use" is the
rainbow, we should like to know ? And
yet a wiser than you did not think the
world complete without it.
Do not grudge the cost and labor neces
sary to plant a few of the best shade trees
round your house; and if you have any
doubts about what to plant, stick in an elm.
There are few trees in the world finer than
a fine weeping elm; and two or three of
them will give even a common looking
dwelling a look of dignity. If you plant
fruit trees for shade, they are likely to he
broken to pieces for the fruit, and they
grow unsightly by the time that forest
trees grow spreading and umbrageous.—
There are very few men whose friends
build so fair a monument to their memorv,
as they can raise with their own hands, by
planting an elm or a maple where it can
grow for a century, to be au ornament to
the country.
Don t be afraid to clip hedges, or cut
back young trees, when you are planting
them. You gain more growth than you
lose, though you may not he able to com
prehend it till you have seen it with your
own eyes.
Never work your ground in wet weather
if you can avoid it, as it makes it cold-likc
and compact by forcing'the air out. Aud
ridge up your kitchen garden ground be
fore winter, so as to expose as much sur
face as possible to the action of the frost.
Never lose an opportunity of getting
sods from the corners of old pastures, or
the breaking up of commons or meadows,
where they cannot he spared. Placed in
heaps, and rotted, they make "excellent
mould for tender plants or trees.
Never buy fruit trees in the "market
places" of unknown venders, who have no
character to lose. You cannot tell bv
'•examining the article," whether they
cheat you or not • and you get your trees
at hall price only to wish, when it comes
to bear, that you had gone to an honest
dealer aud paid ten times as much for
something worth planting.
Collect from about your neighborhood
all the bones that are thrown away as use
less by persons ignorant of their value.

mo all persona afflicted with sexual diseases, such as
Spermatorrhoea, Seminal Weakness, Impotence, Con
or rtxca, Gleet, Syphilis, the vice of Onanism or Self
Abuse, Sec. Sec.
The Howard Association, in view of the awful destruc
tion of human life caused by sexual diseases, and the
deceptions practised upon the unfortunate victims of such
diseases by Quacks, several years ago directed their Con
sulting Surgeon, as a Charitable Act worthy of their
name, to open a Dispensary for the treatment of this
class of diseases, in all their forms, and to give Medical
Advice GRATIS, to all who apply by letter, with a de
scription of their condition, (age, occupation, habits of
life, 4tc.) and in cases of extreme poverty to furnish
Medicines Tree of Charge. It is needless to add that the
Association commands the highest medical skill of the
age, and will furnish the most approved modern treat
ment. The Directors, on a review of the past, feel as
sured that their labors in this sphere of benevolent effort
have been of great benefit to the afflicted, especially to
the young, and they have resolved to devote themselves
with renewed zeal to this very important but much de
spised cause.
Just published by the Association, a Report on Sper
matorrhea, or Seminal Weakness, the vice of Onanism
Masturbation or Self-Abuse, and other Diseases of the
Sexual Organs, by the Consulting Surgeon, which will be
