Softly part away the tresses
From her forehead of pa:e clay,
And across her quiet bosom
Let her pale hands lightly lay ;
Never idly in her lifetime
Were they folded thus away.
Sho hath lived a life of labor,

She halh lived a life of sorrow,
She has nothing more to bear,
And the lips that never murmured
Never more shall move in prayer
You who remelted with me beside her,
As her Isot of night* went by,
Know how calmly ahn assured us
That her hour waiidriviii.ig 'ugh;

pleasant !louse owed it chief attraction.—
Agnes was a beautiful ‘vollinii; ilessy
a pretty girl. The f ,, ntl fathvr intendud

nue Charles Woodford. I 'harles had been
brought up by his mule's kindness, and had
recently returned into the fitfully from a
great office in London. Charles was to be
the immediate partner and eventual SAW
cossor to the flourishing business of his
benefactor, whose regard seemed fully jus
tified by the excellent conduet and remark
able talents of his nrphan nephew. Agnes,
who secretly entertained au atlbetion for
Charles, was destined by her father for a
young baronet, who had lately been much
at the house.
But iu the affairs of love, as in all others,
says .hiss Mitford, men is born to disap
pointment. ~ P lionitne propose, el Dieu

matters of matrimony. So found poor
Molesworth, who—Jessy having ar
rived at the age of eighteen, and Charles
at that of two and twenty, offered his pret
ty daughter and the lucrative partnership
to his penniless relation, and was petrified
with astonishment and indignation to find
the connection very respectfully and firmly
declined. The young man was very mud'
distressed and agitated ; he had tho high
est and hest respect for Miss Jesay, but
could not 'Larry her—he loved another !
And then ho poured forth a confidence as
unexpected as it was undesired by his in
censed patron, who left him in unditninish
et{ wrath and increased, perplexity.
This interview had taken place imme
diately after breakfast ; and when the COn
ference was ended, the provoked father
sought his daughters, who, happily uneon
scions of all that had enured, were amus

THE HAPPIEST MAN.—Let a man have
all the world can give him, he is still lois
' crable ' if he has a grovelling, unlettered,
undevimt mind. Let him have his gardens,
his fields, his lawns, for grandeur, plenty,
ornament, and gratification, while at the
5:111Ie time God is not at all in his thoughts.
And let another have neither field nor
garden ; let him only look at nature with
an enlightened mind—a mind which can
see and adore the Creator in his works, can
consider them as demonstrations of his pow
er, hisgoodnessamid truth;
greater as well as happier in his poverty
than the other in his riches ; the one is a
little higher than the beast, the other but
a little lower than an angel.

The intelligent farmer will have all his

formed in his mind the autumn before
hand. During the winter he will reflect
upon them, and use every meand to• in
crease his knowledge, so that he may per
form all his operations with facility and
economy. He will also make and repair
many of his implements, and get every
thing ready for the spring. so that when it
comes he can avail himself of the first op:,
yortunity to commence operations. The
shortness of our working season renders
this forecast doubly neccessary and advaii-
tageous.

well for the last few years, and the de
mand is increasing. so that we may expect
good prices for the future. Light, dry,
sandy loam, is best adapted fir this crop.
If-the soil is rich, it may be sown after
wheat ; the earlier the better, providing
the soil is dry enough to work well. Two
bushels of seed to the acre is generally
sown, though we think two and 'a . half and
in sumo instances is none
too much. The land should always be

on the wheat fields. It should always be
rolled or harrowed in, if possible. In
England, clover is usually sown with the
barley crop. Red clover, as found by ex
perience, cannot there be grown oftener
than once in eight years on the saiue soil ;
for it sown once in four years, the land
soon becomes "clover sick." Twenty,
pounds of sued per acre is often sown by
good farmers, in hopes of securing a crop.
%Ve have'seen much heavier clover grown
here by the use of plaster, than we ever
saw in England udder the most favorable
conditions of soil and manuring. Clover
is often touch injured by keeping the sheep i
on it too late in the fall and too early in
the spring ; and it is better not to let them
run on it at all in the fall if it eon be avoid
ed. We would never let land lie with
clover More than two years, as after two
years there is little extension of root. and
-the clover is apt to die out and give place
to timothy and red top, whiCh we think as
exhausting to the soil as wheat, and should
never be sown except on low land not a
dapted for wheat. It is to the extension
of the quantity of hind sown with clover
and the adoption of root culture, that -we
confidently look for great improvement is
our agriculture-and increased profits of
farmers, and, rui, a eonsequencei of the en-'
