Where in beauty she calmly reposes; And the angel Of'dealh, as be bent o'er her tomb, Dropped:* tea/on her cheek’s lovely roses. And he gated on thejsmile that illomtned her lip. As soft as ibe smile of Aaron; . And he si-bed that bis scythe such a flower should nipi , , In the slow of its beautiful glory. - Tis ever thus, too, in life’* sunshine or shade, When in hope we toio gaily hare started; We find that the fairest most early to fade, - And the dearest are soonest departed. ■Oh! Hope, whaf a syren thon ever dost seem, bubble on early life's ocean ; A rainbow that rites on memory’s dream. Or the smile on the cheek of emotion. She is gone, end her friends here encircled her tomb. To drop there the tears of their sorrov ; She has gone to the land where her beauty will bloom. Thro’ one everlasting to-morrow. Though her fair bead is pillowed upon the cold sod. And her young heart in silence reposes; She dwells in the beautiful garden of God,' The fairest among Heaven's roses. On the bosom once beating with love’s holy thrill. The shadows of death have descended; The warm heart of friendship lies, pulseless and still. And the gay dream ef hope is now ended. '-She dwells in the land where the rose never fades, ‘ Where no tear of affliction is stealing; Where the sun never sets, and the night never shades, What the spirit of love is revealing. Dan macros. Mo. R. M. G. Just ht the close of the Revolutionary war, there was seen somewhere in one of the small towns of .central Massachusetts, a ragged and forlorn looking soldier coming op the dusty street. He looked about on the corn-fields tas seiing for the harvest, on the rich bright patches of wheat fur the sickle, and on the green potatoe fields, with curious eyes,—so at least thought 3^r.,Towne, who was .-walking leisurely behind him, going heme from the reaping to bis supper. The latter was a stout farmer, dressed in home made brown linen troweers, without suspenders, vest or coat.— The ragged soldier stopped under the shade of a great sugar maple, dud Mr. Towne overtaking him, stopped also.

His eyes flashed like lightning, and' his lips quiveredwith indignation as be confron ted the astonished Tompkins. The latter eras affraid of him, and his wife had given a sad den, nervous shriek when the soldier first star ted to his feet and flung off his hat, and had sunk trembling and half fainting in a chair, Tor she hsd recognized him. “You bain’t any business to interfere between me and my wife,” said Tompkins, sulkily cowed by the attitude of the soldier. “Tour wife!” exclaimed the soldier, with the very concentration of contempt expressed in bis voice, and pointing to him with an indig nant finger. “Who are you?” asked Tompkins, with an air of effrontery. “I am Harry Jones, since yon ask,” replied the soldier, “the owner of this house and this fond, which yon will lease this very boor 1 As for Molly,” softening his tone as he turned to the woman, now sobbing hysterically, “she shall choose between os." “O Harry!” sobbed she, while Tompkins stood dumb with astonishment, “take me, save me!” 'With one step he was at her side, bolding her in his did yon mean by treating this so T Did yon think be* cause she had no earthly protector that there was not a God in Heaven against you?” No man who is cruel to a woman is ever tru ly brave, and Tompkins slunk away like a beat en spaniel. The next day Bad not passed away before ev ery body in the town knew that Harry Jones bad come alive and well to rescue bis much enduring, patient wife from a worse coqstraint than that of a British prison ; but vyhat they all Laid, and what Harry said, I roust leave you to imagine, for here the legend ehds. AHECDOTB OP WASHIHGTOIT. Many years ago, in a desolate little cabin in the suburbs of Philadelphia, sat a lonely wid ow surrounded by her fatherless children. Her husband bad fallen in the battle of his coun try, but since then she had earned 1 a scanty subsistence by ber own bauds without being burdensome to any one; and ber liltle ones, though but poorly fed and clothed, bad never felt that bitterest ingredient of poverty —alms seeking from the public. But recently sickness bad laid bis stern band upon ber; and stem want and starvation al most—had followed closely in its foot-sieps. Yet did. not her faitb fail.- She repeated the words that often bad cheered her: Leave tby fatherless children, I will preserve them alive.” “1 have been young, and now am old, yet nev er saw I the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread and ber heart rose ia humble yet firm reliance upon their divine Author. As ber children bad eaten nothing all day and she was still too feeble to rise from ber bed, she now felt compelled, though roost reluctant ly, to send forth the eldest of ber children on bis first mission of begging, to seek from some charitable stranger a few shillings to buy bread, hoping that she would soon again be able to earn some by ber own efforts. The child, a noble-iittle fellow of ten years, shrank from such an errand; but seeing bis mothers look of anguish, be bushed regrets, and rushed forth into the streets, little thinking, in his grief what course be took ; but a high er power, though unseen, directed bis steps. As the child walked mournfully on, look ing wistfully into the faces of tby people be met, be was too much disheartened by their cold, indifferent loo’'S to venture to ad dress them. The longer be put it off the more reluctant be. was to ask tbs olms’be feared might be refused, and weeping bitterly, be hur ried on unknown and unheeded by the busy throng. Suddenly a kind voice spoke to him, and looking up be saw a benevolent looking gen tleman. dressed in black, and wearing ! three cornered hat. Taking the child’s band in bis, and leading him gently onward, the stranger gentleman soon drew from the little boy the whole story, the father’s name and death, the mother’s straggle to gain support, her recent sickness,-and the subsequent sufferings; and then be bade the child lead him to bis bouse: thoogh stopping at a provision store on the . way to order a supply for the family. Entering the house, the quick eye of the stranger soon discerned the cause of the moth er's feebleness, and Introducing himself as a physician quite suited to her ease, the’ not a regular practitioner, be offered to write a pre scription, which he said be was sure would prove beneficial. Leaving the paper on the table, after saying a few kind words to the mother, be left the house, promising to repest ‘bis visitio a few days, and then to renew the ■prescription if necessary.

HOW TO EARN A HOME. X STOUT fob tub Bebd tuiss. ’ The other evening I cam ) home with an ex tra ten dollar bill in my pocket-money that I hadi earned by out-of-doors work. The fact is I'm a clerk in a down-town store, at a salary of $6OO per annum, and a pretty wife and baby to support out of it. i 1 suppose this income will sound amusingly small to your two and three thousand dollar office holders, but nevertheless we contrive to lire very comfortably upon it. We live upon one floor of sn unpretending little bouse, for which we pay $l6O per nun jm, and Kitty, my wife, you will understand, does all her own work; so that we lay up a n sat little sum every year. I’ve got a balance of tw« or three dol lars at the savings bank, the hoard of several years, and it is astonishing how I feel. Why, Rothschild himself isn’t a circumstance to me I Wei], I came home with showed it triumphantly to K was delighted with my indu “Now, my love," said I, ear account at the bank, an the end of the year.” Forthwith I commenced casting interest, and calculated in mybrain. Kitty was silent, and rocked the Cradle musingly with her feet. “I've been thinking, Harry," said;she, after a moment’s pause, “ that sin :e you’ve got this extra money, we might affi rd to buy a new rug. This is getting dreadful shabby, my dear, you must see.” “ I looked dolefully at the rug; it was worn and shabby enough, that was a feet. “ 1 can get a beautiful new'velvet-pattern for seven dollars," responded my wife.- “ Velvet—seven dollars,” groaned I. “.Well, then, a common tufted rug like this would enly cost three,” said my cautious bet ter half, who seeing she couldn't carry her first ambitious point, wisely withdrew her guns. “ That's more sensible," said L “ Well, we’ll see about it.” ! “And there’s another thing I want,” con tinued my wife, putting her bead coasingly on my shoulder, “ and it’s not at all extravagant, either.” 1 “ What is it ?” I asked, softening rapidly. “ I saw a lovely silk pattern lon Canal street, this morning; and 1 can get it for six dollars— only six dollars, Harry 1 It’s the cheapest thing I ever saw.” “Hat haven’t yon got a very pretty green silk dress?” j “That old thiogl Why Harry, I’ve worn it ever since we’ve been married'.':’. “Is it soiled, or ragged t" h ‘ “ No, of course; but who wants to wear the same old dress forever? Everybody.knows it is the only silk I have.” “ Well, what then T” “ That’s just a man’s question,” pouted Kit ty. “ And I suppose you bare not observed bow old-fashioned my bonnet is getting.” “ Why, 1 thought it lookedl very neat and tasteful since you put on that'black velvet win ter. trimming." i “Of course—yon men have no taste in sneb matters.” , " We were silent for a moment; I’m afraid we both felt a little cross and oat of humor with one soother. Jn fact, on my journey home, I had entertained serious thoughts of exchang ing my old silver watch for a more modern time piece of gold, aad had mentally appropriated the ten dollars to further that purpose. Sav ings-bank reflections had Come later. As we set before the fire, each wrapped in thought, our neighbor, Mr. Wilmot, knocked at the door. lie was employed sty be same store as myself, and his wife was so old family friend. j “I want'you to congratulate:me,” be said, taking a seat. “ I have purchased that little cottage on Bloom iogdale road, to-day." “ What! that beautiful little wooden cottage, with the piazza and lawn, and fruit garden be hind V —exclaimed Kitty, almost eavicusly. “Is it passible,” I cried. A| little cottage home of my own, jost like that I had often ad mired on the Bloomingdale road, had always been the crowning-ambition of my life— : ft dis' taut and almost hopeless point, but do less earnestly desired. I “ Why Wilmat,” said I, “how did this hap pen t You've only been in business eight or ten years longer than I. at a snlajry but a trifle larger than mine, yet I could an soon buy a mint as purchase a cottage-like that,’’ “ Well,” said my neighbor, we have all been working to tEis end for years. My wife baa darned, mended and saved—we have lived on plain fare, aad done with the cheapest things. But the magic charm of the whole af fair, was that we laid aside every penny that was not needed by actual, positive want. Yes, I hate seen my wife lay by red coppers, one by one. Times are bard, you know, just now; the owner was not what you calf an economi cal man, and he was glad to tell even at a mod erate price. So yon see that even “hard times” bare helped me.” When our neighbor was gone, Kitty and I looked meaningly at one another. “ Harry," snid sbe, “ the rug isn’t io bod after all, and my green silk will do a year lon ger with care, “And a silver watch is quite as good fur all practical purposes os a gold repeat .er," said I. “We will set aside iall imaginary wants,” , i “The ten dollar bill matt go tie the bank,” said Kitty, “and I'll economize* the coppers jost as Mrs, Wilmot did. Oh, how happy she will be among the rotes in that cottage garden next Spring,” Our merry tea-kettle sung us a cheerful little song over the glowing fire that flight, and its burden woe “ Economy and a home of our own amid the rotes and the country air,” A Mttuojtajge OmcEß.

Having given you a series of articles on the "caltivationof small fruits," and being fre quently importuned by individuals residing in different parts of tbeCounty, os to the best va rieties of fruit fur orchard culture, I herewith send yon for publication, my own experience, for the benefit of those “seeking knowledge un der difficult circumstances." Hundreds of individuals arebusy with bard w«rk r now that the ground is frozen up, plant ing orchards and fruit gardens in imagination; just as some people build’castles in the air. Out door employment, having given way to the rude blasts of winter, to a great degree—the cattle of the young farmer having been .well cured for, be sits down with “fruit books” and “nur sery catalegues” in hand, assisted by the loved companion of his toil, in selecting and making notes of varieties, that are put down as “deli cious,” “first rate,” “midling," “sugary," “excellent,” Ac., do., for the plot of ground Tie has broken up and subdued purposely fur an orchard,, that will in future years reward and supply his growing family with fruit; and, in imagination, they see that orchard full uf bear ing trees, ladened in the spring with blossoms whits as snow, and in the autumn with bushels upon bushels of golden pippins, and luscious, blushing pears. This is the way many, very many, “count their chickens Letore they are batched." ay extra bill, and tty, who of coarse dry and thrift, “just, add this to i with interest to In my humble opinion, these new beginners in fruit culture, would be immensely benefited, if the farmers and fruit growers of Old Tioga, would come out with short articles in tbeir coun ty papers, and give their experience in the cul tivation of the different varieties of fruits—the situation, and nature of the soil occupied by such orchards, with the mode of after culture pursued by them, tbe condition and bearing qualities of the same. I mean by this, all those who are experienced and “have seen the ele phant,” bought and cultivated, fruits that stand high On tbe pages of tbe catalogues of fruit dealers. Allsucb persons know bow much “gas" and “bombast” there is “got up” for the pur pose Of getting rid of unsalable trees and “gul ling” tbe inexperienced by unprincipled nurse ry dealers. If such in our; midst, wuuid only Come out with a plain statement of facts, it might, save tbe amateur all the trouble of trying experiments, relying on tbe statements of win 'dy catalogues for their selection, losing time and money, wasting valuable ground, that they mostly fall into. There is little doubt in my mind, that of the thousands of fruit trees plan ted in this county for the last fifteen years, two thirds have been of very indifferent quality— not worthy of ground room and cultivation.— Having thus far digressed from my subject, I will give you a few rough notes of some sorts that I know to he worthy of a place in every orchard in tbe Northern States. Pear »—l place pears first, bccanse they are my favorite frqit. To begin, 1 would plant hat four early pears, viz., Madeline, one of tbe ear liest and best; Dearborn’s Seedling—always, a sure and abundant bearer, and tbe first, always fair, sprightly, and of excellent flavor. Bostie zer, from its sweet and pleasant flavor, find bar* dy habit—tbe Bartlett, the handsomest of Pears, and must popular from its firm quality, free growth, and sure productiveness. Of Autumn Pears, I would choose six. - First; the Belle Lucrative, because of its most deli cious, honied flavor. Then the Paradise of Autumn, fur its handsome size, and first rate quality:; then the Louisejßonne de Jersey, for its sprightly, juicy fruit, and its productiveness; then the Duchess de Angouleme, as tbe finest show pear; and finally the J&ckel, as tbe first flavored pear in cultivation. Of winter pears, I would recommend but two varieties; the Winter Nelis, for its sweet and excellent flavor, and the Buerre Easter, hardy, productive and a good keeper, with a fine Pine Apple flavor. So much for pears—the list, I know, is small, but it is much easier to make a large list than a small one, for obvious reasons, and those who want mure can either double the number of these varieties, (my advice) or add others of less merit. Now let os see what wo can dp with the great voluminous list of Apples whose varieties are Innumerable as the sands of the seashore. For summer, I would choose but four sorts. The Early Harvest, which is the prince of all sum mer varieties, best for the table and for cook ing ; the Early Strawberry, for excellence and beauty- the Harvest Bough for its great pro ductiveness and largo sized, excellent fruit— and the Summer Bellcflowcr, for its delicate, rich flavor, and excellence in all respects. Of Autumn apples, 1 would only select four varie ties, as we have so many other fruits for the ta ble ac that, season of the year. The first of these shall be the Douse or the largest, handsomeit and finest of all fall apples; the Gravenstein, for it beauty, excellence an I pro ductiveness, the true Fall Pippin, well known ; to all fruit growers, oe par excellence, and the Gulden Sweeting, with its rich, melting flavor. Of winter apples, we must have more, as they are the frujt that stand by ue when all others fail, TbeHirst on the list, I would recommend, are'the Yellow and Green Newtown Pipp'ne, the best apples in the wide world; then Nor* ton’s Melon, ns being the meet sprightly and n » freshing: of all for the table; their, the Mother Apple, rich in flavor; then the Gulden Belle flower, very produolive, but somewhat tart j the Lady’s Sweeting, the best winter sweet ap ple ; the Fameuse, so snowy white within, and so excellent the Jonathan, tyith its excellent flavor and itsgreat productiveness; the Rh si* Island Greening, fur the table and all culinary purposes ; the Bsopue Spltxenhurg, fur its rich, criep texture, and high flavor; the Swarr, fur its floe, .golden color, nnd aromatic tart; the Baldwin, for its good hearing qualities and fair good flavored fruit; the Witggoner, for its long keeping; the Tompkins County^King, for Us noble qualities as a market fruit; the Box bury Russet end Rawles Janst, as the two very best late keopors; and the Northern Spy; the most delicious, fragrant and sprightly of all Uti da-ert apples. ■ Lot us next sift the Cherries.
