THE IIIITJREL
GUARDIAN ANGELS.
Guardian angels, guardian angels?
They are with us night and day,
Dropping flowers of love the brightest
As they watch us on our way.
fn_our sorrows, in our troubles,
Tliey with care around us throng,
Ever guarding us from danger.
Ever shielding us from wrong.
Guardian angels, guardian angels !
Still your benedictions pour.
On our hearts the joys of truth,
The light of virtue ever shower;
Teach ns how we may our blessings
Ever cherish, still increase,
And grant that every flower we pluck
May be a flower of love—of peace.
WAITING FOR THE SPRING.
As breezes stir the morning*
A silence reigns in air;
Steel-blue the heavens above me,
Moveless the trees and bare ;
Yet unto me the stillness
This burthen seems to bring—
" Patience ! the earth is waiting,
Waiting for the Spring."
Strong ash, and sturdy chestnut,
Rough oak and poplar high.
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the wintry sky.
Even the guilty aspeu
Hath ceased her quivering.
As though she, too, were waiting.
Waiting for the Spring.
I strain mine ears to listen,
If haply where I stand,
But one stray note of music
May sound in all the land,
" Why art thou mute, O blackbird?
O thrush, why dost not sing?"
Ah! surely they are waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
Oh heart! thy days are darksome;
Oh heart! thy nights are drear;
But soon shall beams of sunshine
Proclaim the turning year.
Soon shall the trees be leafy,
Soon every bird shall sing;
Like them, be silent, waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
The Number Seven in Scripture.
From the Waste Drawer of a Clergyman.
Thai there was some mystic idea at
tached to the number of seven, is plain,
by its being made the number of perfection
among the Jews. The rabbis maintain
tht seven things were created before the
foundation of the world—the law, repent
ance, paradise, hell, the throne of God,
the temple, the name of the Messiah.
The reason which I'hiio and Josephus give
for the number seven having been held
sacred by the sect of the Essenes, may
have been very satisfactory to themselves,
but to us it conveys no meaning. 'lt is,'
say they, 'because it results from the sides
of a square added to those of a triaugie.'
Cicero is not more explicit, when he says
that seven 'is the knot and cement of all
things, as being that by which the natural
and spiritual are couipreheuded in one
idea.' That the Creator rested on the
seventh day after the world was formed,
and ordained that the seventh day in every
week from thence should he kept holy, in
commemoration of the glorious work, seems
to have invested the number with peculiar
sanctity, and accounts for its being so often
connected with matters pertaining to reli
gious worship. This connection is so
striking, that, in reading the Bible, it can
not escape observation. Not only a
Sabbath ordained in every week, but sab
batical years were instituted. Every
seventh year was a Sabbath of rest and
set apart for leaving the ground untitled,
'to maintain, as far as possible,' Calmet
observes, 'an equality of condition among
the people, in setting the slave at liberty,
and permitting all, as children of one fam
ily, to have the free and indiscriminate use
of whatever the earth produced; to inspire
the people with sentiments of humanity,
by making it their duty to give rest, and
proper and sufficient nourishment, to the
poor, the slave, and the stranger, and even
the cattle; to accustom the people to sub
mit and depend on the divine providence,
and expect their support from thai in the
sevenths-ear, by an extra' rdinary provision
ou the sixth'—a blessing which the Crea
ator graciously promised and miraculously
fulfilled. In like manner were the Israel
ites provided with a double portion of man
na in the wilderness on the sixth day, # for
a supply tor the seventh day. Every seven
times seventh year was 14 jubilee. The
great feasts of unleavened bread and taber
nacles were observed for seven days. The
seventh day of the seventh month was.
ordained a feast for seven days; and the
Israelites remained in their tents for seven
days. Seven days of mourning was the
allotted observance. The men of Jabesh
Gilead, after they bad performed the fu
neral rites of Saul and his sons, fasted
seven days Joseph mourned for his
father seven days. Miriam was shut up
seven days to bf healed of his leprosy.
The number of animals, in many of their
obligations, was restricted to seven. Balaam
prepared seven bullocks and seven rams
for a sacrifice- In cleansing the temple,
King Hezekiah offered a sin offering of
seven bullobks, seven rams, and seven he

goats. The .friends of Job, who sat by
him for seven days and for seven nights,
offered, as an atonement fortheir sins,
seven bullocks and seven rams. Seven
bulioeks and seven rams were also David's
offering, when he was bringing up the ark;
but the most inhuman sacrifice which is
noticed is that of Saul's seven sons, who
offered to avert a famine. Abraham gave
seven ewe lambs to Abimelech, as a me
morial of his right to a well. The law
was ordered to be read to the pec pie every
seventh year. The young animals were
not to be taken from their dams for seven
days. By the law. man was commanded to
forgive his offending brother seven times.
Among the ceremonies enjoined at the
consecration of Aaron and his sons for the
priesthood, we find that the priest was to
abide seven days and seven nights at the
door of the tabernacle. Seven priests,
bearing seven trumpets for seven days,
encompassed the walls of Jericho seven
times, and on the seventh day the walls
fell Seven days were decreed for an
atonement on the altar; and lor seven days
the priest's son was to wear his father's
garments. In the religious ceremonies ol
purification and consecration, the oil or
water was to be sprinkled seven times;
and the offering of blood was to be sprinkled
seven times belore the altar. Naamun was
to be dipped seven times in Jordan. If
the walls of a house appeared to hear any
traces of the infection of leprosy, the owner
was to be commanded by the priest to
leave it, and it was to be locked up for
seven days If there were any suspicion
of infection in clothes, they were to be
brought to the priest, and locked up for
seven days. If, on the seventh day, the
supposed murks of infection had increased
on the house, it was to be de-troyed If the
marks ot infection on the clothes were
plainer on the seventh day, they were to
be burnt. The ark of God remained with
the Philistines for seven months. Solo
mon was seven years in building the tem
ple. At its dedication, he feasted seven
days. Iu the tabernacle there were seven
lamps. The house of wisdom, in Proverbs,
had seven pillars. There were seventy
elders ot Isreal. j- Jacob served seven
years for the sake of Rachel, and seven
years more did he serve for her, tor the
which he bore ber. On the seventh day
of Laban's pursuit, he overtook Jacob
Samuel commanded Saul to sojourn at Gil
gal for seven days. Jesse made seven of
his sons to pass before Samuel. The elders
of Jabesh entreated Nahash the Ammon
ite seven day's respite. The son ot the
Shunammite sneezed seven times when
restored to life by Eiisha. Noah had. sev
en days' warning of the flood. According
to divine command, he took the fowls ot
the air and the clean beasts by sevens into
the ark The ark rested on Mount Ararat
on the seventeenth day of the seventh
month. In seven days Noah setr out a

of abundance and seven years of famine
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream of the
seven well-favored and the seven ill favored
kino—the seven full and blighted ears of
corn. Seven times did Elijah send his ser
vant to look for the cloud. King Ahasuerus
had seven maids, seven days feast, and sent
for the queen on the seventh day. In tne
seventh year ol hi< reign, Esther wqsbrought
to liim. ihe fiery turnace into which
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abeduego were
cast, had been made seven times hotter.
Nebuchadnezzar ate the grass of the field
seven years The vision of Daniel was
seventy weeks. Enoch was the seventh
after Adam. The psalmist offered praise
to God seven times a day. Uur Saviour
was the seventy seventh from Adam in a
direct line. He taug' t that forgiveness of
an offending brother should not be restrict
ed to seven times, but should extend to sev
eDty times seven. On one occasion he
exemplified his discourse with seven para
bles. Seven loaves were all that the
disciples supplied him with, when he mir
aculously fed the multitude, who took up
seven baskets of the fragments which
remained, after they were satisfied Out
of Mary Magdalene he east seven devils
The apostles planted seven churches, and
appointed seven deacons Sceva's seven
sons were overcome by the evil spirits
which they were endeavoring to cast out
Through every part of Scripture, we
find the number seven brought forward in
a remarkable tuauner; in the declarations
of the Creator: in the precepts of our
Saviour, and in proverbs and prophecies;
in (easting and fastings; iu oblations and
visions; and iu ail the historical details, and
in ail the foreshadowtngs of futurity. God
threaiended to smite his people seven times
for their transgressions. If the slayer ot
Cain was to be punished seven times, the
slayer of Lamech was to be punished sev
enty times seven. Perfection is compared,
iu Scripture, to gold seven times purified
in the lire. The Revelation tells of seven
golden candlesticks, of seven stars, of the
Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes, of
the book with seven seals, ol seven spirits,
of seven angels, of seven kings, of seven
thunders, of seven thousand men slain, of
seven vials of wrath, and seven plagues.
When the years of the world shall have
numbered seven thousand, many com men
tors believe that a new will
be disclosed. The importance of the num-,
ber seven is not lost sight of when we close
the sacred volume. Rome, seated on her
seven hills, professes, in her religious creed,
to acknowledge seven sacraments and sev
en deadly sins. In some of their trost
solemn processions., we find that seven
acolyths, hearing seven tapers, precede
seven deacons, who are followed bv seven
priests. Mahomet had his seventh heaven.
Among our superstitions we find that the
seventh son of a seventh son was to be
dodicuted to the medical profession. We
have heard the phrase of being frightened
out of our seven senses, though we can
not tell what they are. Nursery lore
treats largely of seven. Pousett and his
seven br< t.hers we remember as special
favorites; and we recollect the high consid
eration in which the seven champions, the
seven men of Gotham, the seven
leagued hoots, and the seven wonders of the
world, were held; and the mysterious awe
in which the legend of the seven sleepers
was involved. A little while, and the tur
moil of life begins. We hear of the
squabbles of families and the strife of men;
and we learn hence that those ola house
are sometimes at sixes and seveus, and are
told of the seven years' of war. We turn
from such things to the blessings of peace
—the cultivation of the fine arts; and we
remember that music owes al) its charms
to seven notes; and that painting is. iudebt
ed for all its variety of tints to seven colors

What a Garden May Be.
IE-re let. tne. outline, in brief, what a far
tner's garden may be made, without other
than home 1 bor A broad walk shall run
down through the middle of either square
enclosure, or long p.trallelogi am. A box
edging upon either side is of little cost,
and contributes eminently to neatness; it
will hold good for eight years, without
too great encroachment, and at the time,
will sell to the nurserymen for more than
enough to pay the cost of resetting On
either side of this walk, in a border of six
feet wide, the farmer may plant his dwarf
fruit, with grapes at intervals, to ciimb on
a home-made cedar trellis, that should over
arch and embower the walk. If he love
an evening pipe in his garden, he may
plant some simple seat under one or more
of these leafy arbors.
At least one half the garden, as I be
fore* suggested, he may easily arrange, to
till, —spring and autumn, — with the plow;
and whatever be places there in the way
of tree and shrub, must be in lines parallel
with the walk. On the other half, he will
be subjected to no such limitations; there,
he will establish his perennials—his aspar
nuns, his thyme, his sage, and parsely, his
rhubarb, his gooseberries, strawberries, and
raspberries; and in an angle—hidden if
he chooses by a belt of shrubbery—he may
have his hot bed and compost heap Fork
culture, which all these crops demand,
will admit of any arrangement he may pre
t'er, and lie may enliven the groupings,
and win the good wife's favor, by here and
there a little circlet of such old fashioned
flowers as tulips—ye low lilies and white,
with roses ot ail shades
1 pon the other half he may make dis
rriiiution ot parts, by banding the various
crops wiili border lines of China or Refu
gee beans; and he may split the whole 1
cros-w se, by a walk overarched with climb
ing Limas, or the London Horticultural—
setting off the -two ends with an abut
ment of Scarlet runners, and a surbase of
fiery Nasturtium.
There are also available and pretty de
vices for making the land do double duty.
Ihe border lines of China beans, which
will be ripened in early August, may have
Swedes sown in their shadow in the first
days of July, so that when the Chinas
have fulfilled their mission, there shall be
a new line of purple green in their place.
The early radishes and salads may have
their little circlets of cucumber pits, no way
interfering with the first, and covering the
ground when the tir>t are done. The ear
ly Bassano beets will come away in time
to leave space for the lull flow of the mel
ons that have been planted at intervals
among them The cauliflower will find
grateful shade under the lines of sweet
corn, and the newly set winter ca! bages, a
temporary refuge from the sun, under shel
ter ot ilie ripened peas Ido not make
these suggestions at random, but as the re
suits of successful experience.
With such simple and orderly arrange
menus involving no excessive labor, I think
every farmer and country-liver may take
pleasure i< his garden and objects of heau- j
ty ; —making of it a little farm in minia
ture, with its coppices ot dwarf trees, its
hedge rows of currants and goosberries, >
and its meadows of strawberries and thyme, j
From the very d y on which, in spring, :
he sees the first, faint, upheaving, tufted ]
lines of green from his Dan O'Rourkes, to
the day when th& dangling Limas, and
sprawling, bloody tometoes arc smitten by
the frost, it offers a field of constant pro- I
gress, and of successive triumphs. Line
by line, and company by company, the \
army of green things take position; the
flowery banners are flung to the wind;
and lo! presently every soldier of tt-eni
all—plundering only the earth and sun
shine— is loaded with booty.

How Much Farmers Lose by Keeping
Poor Cows
J A corrspondent of the Country Gentle
man says, it is a New England maxim, that
, 'farmers cannot afford to keep poor cows,
nor to keep cows poor.' Taking either
! horn of this dilemma, t' ,o re i< abundant
j ground to show, beyond a doubt. that it is
the very worst system of policy that a
mer can practice, to keep his cows on such
a stinted supply of food that they will in
evitably become poor and emaciated, or, to
keep them on poor food or such fodder as
will afford very little milk or verv little
nourishment to the animal.
W lien cows have been kept on litlle food
until they show every rib 111 their bodies,
and their necks have fallen downward, like
■ the neck ot an Asiatic dromedary, they
j cannot he profitably to their owners And
why? Because, a poor cow will not give
as rich milk, nor as much of it, as the same
cow would give were she tolerable fat.
i Now, if the milk be poor, of course a much
i larger quantity of it will be required to
make a pound of butter or a pound of
cheese. And, if a cow be poor, a large
proportion if the material that would g 0
to make rich cream, were the cow fleshy,
is secreted to nourish her animal system.
, 1-or the reason, when we feed poor cows
food that has an abundance of creatu pro
ducing, or butter forming materia! in it,
we often wonder why it is that the milk is
: so poor—white and thin—when it ought
to he thick, and yellow as gold
On the other hand, when we feed poor
fodder to cows that are in good condition,
the milk will be poor, because so much of
; the material that would go to make milk,
1 is secreted to nourish the system before it
! reaches the lacteal glands.
Now then, suppose a cow loses, during
the foddering season, only one hundred
t pounds of flesh and fat. Very many cows
lose more than two hundred pounds during
that time. Every pound of flesh and fat
that is lost is equal to one pound of butler
or two oi the best cheese. And. if a cow
is in good healthy condition—not as fat as
fat beef—and 10-es one hundred po in Is of
fat, as soon as she receives a good supply
ot food, she will begin to increase in flesh
and fat. I iierefore, her system will take
up cream producing material enough, iu
replacing the 100 pounds which she lost,
to have made 100 pounds of good butter
or two hundred or more pounds of good
| cheese.
There is no evading this logic, and there
is no dodging these conclusions. Common
| sense, philosophy and experience, all will
! substantiate these considerations.
How much then is 100 pounds of Lutter
; worth? Let every farmer answer for him
| self. And, when he reflects on this sub
ject, let him remember this is a very easy
| matter tor a cow to lose one or more pounds
j of fle-di daily, which is worth, in cash, more
than one pound of butter.

Steam Boiler Explosion at Messrs Mer
rick & Co's Foundry, Philadelphia-
At quarter before nine o'clock on Wed
nesday morning a steam boiler, nearly new
exploded, with fatal effect, at the extensive
foundry of Messrs. S. V. Merrick & Co.,
on Washington avenue, between Fourth
arjd Fifth, Second ward. Of course the
most phrenzied and extended excitement
prevailed in the entire southern section of
the city. The most impropable rumors
were freely circulated, which s : mply ad
ded fuel to the excitement. The report
ers of The Press were early upon the
ground, and gathering all the facts and
incidents thereto, p/esent the following in
teresting narrative:
The boiler house was built of brick, lo
cated near the centre of the yard. It was
surrounded by the various shops or de
partments incident to an extensive estab
lishment for manufacturing purposes, and
the only wonder is that so little damage
11
was done to this property. The boiler tHat
exploded was conueeted with an older one,
both being under the roof. donky en
gine, used for pumping the water into
these boilers, was in front thereof. It was
entirely demolished. The exploded boiler
seemed to have broken into two or three
pieces, one of them weighing many tons,
being hurled to eastward to the distance of
thirty feet.
Smaller portions, and the flues were
whirled in every direction, with great ve
locity, scattering death and destruction in
their course. The bricks of the building
were thown with great violence to the east,
the west, north, and south, doing more or
less damage. The boiler that connected
with the exploded one; was forced about
ten feet from its bed, and partly canted
over. It is 9 feet high, 8 feet wide, nd

I_. >ir If fret long, the samp in size as the
tvie that in a moment Was torn t. pieces.
Jhe suiolte stack, about 2 feet in diameter
and thirty five or forty feet long, weighing
probably a ton, was projeo ed in a north
western direction. In its descent it crush
ed the root of the pattern shop, in the
third story of the main building. There
were sixteen men and boys at work in this
h. p The smoke stack crushed to splin
ters one oi t'ie ' enclies at which a boy
named Marotzer was at vjrk.
Amid this crash of material, of falling
beams, or splinters, the lad found himself
on 'he roof, arid was so astonished at the
unrevealed method of his "elevation, that
he called down to Mr Richard Xewsam,
who was yet in the shop. * Say, Mr. Xew
sam, shouted the lad, ' how in the did
I got up here, anyhow?' This little inci
dent had the effect to restore the dumb
founded, halt inclined to be panic stricken
operative, to something like propriety, and
they left their apartments. The bov de
scended on the smoke .stack to the floor of
the shop, and then hastened downstairs.
Seven were killed and 12 wound in this
terrible disaster, shrouding many families
in deep gloom. Some of the deaths were
instantaneous, and though their mutila
ted bodies presented horrifying spectacles,
yet it is naturally consoling to know that
the poor fellows did not suffer. One or
two bodies seemed like moving masses of
human pulp, but not a groan to indicate
suffering arose from them. Others less,
though severely wounded, were taken away
bleeding, and groaning, and dying. One
of the killed was standing in conversation
with a fellow-workman, named Morris
Agan. In a moment he disappeared, and
and yet Mr. Agan escaped withuutascrateh.
Another man, working at an anvil, ham
mering away, suddenly found himself grasp
ing a window frame, the glass from which
was smashed to atoms, lie caunot account
for his wonderful escape. His hand was
somewhat cut, and for a few moments it
was hard tor him to realize the fact that
he was not at the anvil. The experience
of this man, and the boy "Marotzey, on
tbe roof, is indicative, no doubt, of the
feelings of many others who made very
narrow escapes. One man was wheeling
a barrow near the boiler house; he fell
dead between the sfuifts of the barrow.
There were only one or two persons kill
ed by beintr buried in the falling ruins.—
Quite a number were caught amid the fal
ling wreck of shed buildings and roofs, but
ihey either extricated themselves, or were
assisted by'heir fellow workmen. Beneath
a shed not far distant from the boiler
house, were a number of employees. Upon
this a terrific shower of bricks, iron and
other missiles, fell. The shed roof was
crushed in, ami this gave rise to a stunning
report that forty people were killed beneath
the rubbish The fact is, that the interi
or of the shed or building was so well fill
ed with material, that the force of the
falling fragments was resisted. We be
hove that none of the men here were se
riously injured.
