Climbing up the craggie rocks
Something antelopee,
Sometimes rending flimsy frocks—
Then again quite mopie.
Sitting on the slipp'ry grass
Plucking tiny flowers—

Seeking shady bowers.

Then a rustle snakie
Starts us off in fear a "kiting,"

Panting and quite qualf ie.
Then.a cloth upon the grass
Temptingly is spreading
With - the spurning "goosewine" glass
Near where we are treading:

Seeming danger just to mock
While we are romancing.

On bold nature's pillow, '
While the frelted waters weep
'heath the raging billow.

Gath'ring burrs eteetra—
Lizzie makes a sudden bound
Flying from some danger.
There's Miss Mary making wreaths
From. the Chestnut bower,
While Miss D—°— quite gently breathesi
Under Morthy's power. -
That old lady is the van
Ever laughing, chatting,
Like a buzzing frying pan
Or'with insects spUtting.
Then at eve we're wending home
Drabbled, warm, and weary,
Almost tired of our roam
Just before so cheery.
Then the "laughing waters" taunt '
As along we hobble.

Dirge-like at our trouble.
Then come friend like and quite welcome
Nature's sweet restorer—
At "sweet imme" where we may nestle—
Caught by MOrthY's power.
TILLAGE
'Tis folly in the extreme to till •
Extensive fields, and hill. them all :
The farmer, pleased, may boast aloud,
His bushels sown, his acres ploughed;
And pleased, indulge the cheering hope
That time will'bring a plenteous crop ;
Shrewd common sense sits laughing by—
For when maturing seasons smile, '
Thin sheaves snail disappoint his toil ;
Advised, this empty pride expel,
Till little, and that littlrove4
Of taxing, fencing, toil, no more
Your ground requires - when rich than poor ;
And more one fertile acre yields
Than the huge breadth of barren fields.
Neat be yoUr firms : Itis long confessed
The neatest farther is the‘besti
Each bog and marsh, industrious drain,
Nor let vile balks deform the plain ;
No bushes on your headland grow,
For briars a sloven's culture show.
Neat be your barns, your houses neat,
Your doors be clean, your court yards sweet ;
No moss the sheltering roof enshroud,
Nor wooden panes the windows cloud,
No filthy kennels foully flew,
Nor ivitedslwittirankling poison grow ;
But shades expand and fruii trees bloom,
Andlowering shrubs-exhale perfume ;
With pales your garden circle round,
Defend, enrich, and clean the ground ;
Prize high pis .pleaoing. useful rood,

A VISIT TO THE SHAKERS:
BY bIRS. GEORGE WASHINGTON WYLLS.
Should you like to drive out to the
Shaker settlement this afternoon ?"
This question, from one of the kindest
of those kind friends whom our lucky'
star has been good enough to provide
us with, throughout life, touched the hid
den spring of curiosity in our inmost na
ture. .We bad been in Albany a great
many times and heard legends without
end of.the Niskaynna Shakers, but we
never had penetrated into their dbmains.
Here was the opportunity at last.
The drive from Albany—about nine
miles—is delightful : a smooth road, ly
ing between green meadows and fields of
ripening grain, while in the distance, the
splendid chain of the "Helderberg-Hills"
are outlined sharply against the horizon.
Here and there a faint blue peak, scarce
ly discernable from the soft atmosphere,
betokens the presence, beyond, of the
gigantic Catskills. Just on the verge
of the settlement the road lies through a
green bit of forest commonly christened
"the Shaker Woods," where the moss on
the tree-trunks, and the clusters of plume
like fern, and the emerald light playing
among the fallen leaves, give the passer
by the pleasantest idea of summer soli
tude that ever poet sighed for !
At length, emerging from the green
shadow of these old woods, we come into
full view of the buildings of the Shaker
fraternity, How perfectly neat it looks I
the grass around the steps is like shorn
velvet, and we don't believe that a stray
leaf ever flatters down from those mag
nificent elms to mar the exquisite order.
Within, the same rule prevails. The
floors, or at least as much of them ,as is
left, visible by the neatly woven rag car
pets, are as white as snow—the windows
clear as
. crystal. The "Sister" who wel
comes us, is dressed according to. the
peculiar, fashion of the Shakers, in a
dark dress, entirely sans crinoline,lier
silver 'hair parted under a close cap of
white muslin, and a snowy kerchief fold
ed acrost her chest. 0 how peaceful all
their faces are ! positively lovely, under
those coif-like muslin caps. All the
camellias, and pearls,• and orange-blos
soms that our metropolitan belles ever
wreathed in their hair can not produce
the Sallie erect. Perhaps a part of the
charm lies in the gentleness of their man
ner, the soft spoken "Yea" or "Nay" with
which they answer your questions, and
the perfect, unbroken calm of their lives.
Assenting to our request to see the
modus operandi of their system, one of
the sisters dons the peculiarly-shaped
bonnet of straw, which has of late been
so fashionable among the "world's peo
ple," and lends the way to the meeting
house, a large building with a highly
polished floor, and a single row-of benches
ranged round the wall. Passing the
school-honse. where a row of little ones
in trim Shaker costume are' defiling out,
under command :of their, tekeher,We en
ter phetower-garden, kept in order by
the children alone. What superb velvet
pansies=What imperial petunia—what
glowing verbenas and
_royal dahlias I
WO involnntarily catch ourself wonder
.
ing'if the Shakers haven't some mystical
chitin, for making their flowers blossom
brighter thnn any one else's I
S. A. /W.C.
'BUt the dairy—that is the prettiest
sight of all. Olie might almost forget
the tropical heat that is quivering througy
the golden air outside, in the • C:ool atmos
phereof these stone walls, and white
gleaming marble tables, whore.-the,
low cream BO temptingly thickl'on pans
of milk, and the great amber ' cheeses
make us'break the tenth commandment'
in, spite of .ourselves! ,Never did: ice
cream, or champagne, imbibed in the
glitter of New York gas-lights, taste
lai4f so delicious as this tumbler of cream,
bsouglit by the gentle sister, and drank
by the green light that trembles through
the vine-draped windilW:' •

est womenkind. • But here comes one of
the brothers, whose bright eyes and short
' nriing lecke, kelf hidden' under the
adow• of his broad-brimmed bat, would
unquestionably elicit the mental obser
vation, "fen% he good-looking 7" if tke
subject did not belong to the Shatec
community. As it 'is, we reserve ,our
oElipion for somebody who will better
apProciate its weight 1 rhe keen sense

Everybody appreciates dried fruit in
winter, but few, We suspect, know how
many ways there are of drying it. The
New Epgland farmers' wives, who spread
out a pint of blackberries on a board to
dry in, the sun,' are decidedly conserya
live-as compared with the Shakers, Who
dry bushels at a time, on immense
"sieves," which are shifted by machinery
above the jatensest dry heat that coals
can produce. Fruit thus 'dried must
possess flavor far superior to that "with
ered up" by the old-fashioned method.
As, we returned to the house, another
of the brothers entered, bringing the
mails from the post-office, and we felt
like - meeting an old friend when we saw
oar familiar favorite, LIFE ILLUSTRATED,
placed on the table and greeted as a most
welcome visitor.
Although the sun was low in the west
ern sky, we lingered a while longer in
the little store connected with the office,
where were collected Shaker brooms,
trim little boxes, baskets of every pos
sible device, and all thetscores of exquis
itely -Manufactured trifles which the
Shakers seem to have taken out a patent
for. it is certainly a most tempting
place for housekeepers who know how
to value these little nameless "'fixings,"
in kitchen and parlor.
Altogether, our. visit to the. Shakers
was a most agreeable experience ; and
as we re-entered the green old woods on
our homeward way, there was more than
one backward glace of regretat the beau
tiful retreat that seemed absolutely to
lie beyond the Cares acid troubles of this
unaccommodating world. We shall not
forget the Shakers very soon

Lookout for moths
There is seardely a more provoking
pest of the househord than the moth.—
His derradations are now carried on so
quietly that very often his existence is
not 'suspected until
,upon bringing out
the best dresses, or expensive furs, which
had been laid away in supposed safety,
they are found ruined. Great sympathy
is sometimes felt for the poor little "mil
ler" that flutters, around the candle,
scorches his wings—and dies, a warning
to the venturesome—but little pity would
be wasted on him were it known that this
"miller's" children will, if unmolested,
make a grist of our carpets, coats, furs,
and whatever else may snit hil' extrava
gant taste. The American Agriculturist
gives
,the following description of these
destructive insects, their mode of opera
tion, and how to dislodge the intruders :
There are several species of these in
sects, differing in size, form and habits.
Some attack woolen cloths of every de
scription ; others confine themselves
mostly to carpets;and others again are
satisfied with" nothing but -furs. They
are mostly known by,,then !linearity ;
the clothes moth is T vestianella ; the
fur moth T pellionetla. In the winged
state, they have four short and slender
feelers, a thick tuft on the forehead, 'and
very narrow wings 'deeply fringed. They
are busy in May and June laying their
eggs where the young may find• their
proper feed, and when they have thus
done their share' of the mi%chief, they
die. In' about fifteen days' the eggs
hatch, ''and the little whitish, sharp
toothed caterpillars or moth worms be
gin their nefarious operations. They
furniih theniselves with food, clotiesand
lodgings, from.the fabrics they destroy ;
gnawingthe substance and rolling Up the
fragments into sniall tubes with open
ends, where they keep as snugly ensconc
ed as a tTartli indis shell. Like the tur
tle, some of them carry their coverings
around with their: As they grow, they
enlarge their garments at each
, end„ oc
casionally settling in a piece when neees
sari. Thus they piiis the Summer; then
take a winter nap ; change to chrysalids
in Spring, and; in: about - Unity days
emerge as perfect insects, to flutter about,
find their mates, and raise another .en
terprising family. Now is the time. to
rout them out. Take all furs and woolen
clothes frc,w drawers, clothes ,presses,
etc., and with a light cane give them a
thorough beating, to dislodge the eggs,
and expel the dust in whiCh they delight I
to hide their progeny. Gum camphor I
in coarse powder, plentifully sprinkled
among clothing, and the drawers and
boxes containing it, will sometimes pre
vent' their return. Housekeepers some-
times find the moth, notwithstanding
this or some other, strong aromatic hes
been applied liberally, - because they had
not first, beaten, or shaken out the intru
ders already in their quarters. Empty I
cigar boxes are among the very best re
ceptacles for articles subject to moths="
they have sense enough to eschew tobac
co. Ground black pepper sprinkled
upon the floor: is useful - to-keep_ theta
from the carpets ; they shouldakewpyer,f;
be thoroughly beaten twice a year 4,
is also well to give fors a beating once
or twice-during the• summer, to make
sine) work.
ONE OF THE PAM - WHS.—There isim old
lady, and-her daughter living in New
buryport,-. the' latter fifty years old, who
have not been off.their premises for 30
years, untililaturday lastoihen they ac
cepted an invitation to visit Oldtown.—
The daughter was never inside a - carriage
before, and "upon entering she , turned
pills, trembled,' and grew faint at tte
prospect- bsfOre her, but was finally pre-
Veiled on to trust herself to.that convey
ance instead of her feet. They stopped
in for vie* of the Eastern railrOad, and
three trains passed near them: this 'Was
the first and all of their' railroad expe
rience. Neither of them before had - seen
a oar or had the least idea of,a steam
engine. The appearance pf a train
struck them with terror, and the old lady,

though As is not so weel rpadin modern
literature, said she , believed it: was. an
invention of the devil and had been Sent

out to seek whom it might devour. ..She
