FLEW OF DEATH.

o Saviour of the faithful dead!
With whom thy servants dwell,
Though cold ap6 green the turf 10 sprca
.95ore the narrow cell!
No more we cling TO mortal clay,
We doubt, and weep no more,
For fear to tread the dArksome way
Which thou hast trod before.
IT'S hard from those we love to go.
Who weep beside our bed,
Whose tears bedcw our burning brow,
Whose arms support our head;
When fading from the dizzy view,
sought their form in yasns
The bitterness of death knew,
find broan'd TO 1--we again.
'Tis dreadful when the sccuser's power
Asssils the sinking heart,
Recalling every wasted hour,
And each unworthy part
Vet Jesus, in that mortal fray,
Thy blessed comfort stole,
Like sunshine in an autumn day,
Across my darken'd soul.
when soon or In c this feeble breath,
No more to thee Can pray,
Support me through the vale of death,
And in the darksome way.
When clothed in heshy weed. again
wait thy dread decree,
Judge Of the world, remember then
That thou hast died for me.

From the Hagersto,cn Torch Light.

As this is the season of the year for
saving Millet seed, would recommend
to those who have cultivated that arti-
Gle, to save as much seed as possible. /
firmly believe from the most respecta-
BILE information, as well as from small
actual experiment, that it will be found
to be one of the most profitable crops
TO the farmer. When he has time TO
discover fields are likely to. afford him
but a scanty and insufficient supply OF
grass, he at any time, betwixt the mid
die of May and the middle of July, by
preparing a piece Of good land well and
sowing it in Millet, may promise HIM
self with more than usual certainty a
large supply of most excellent proven
der for horses, cows, and sheep. Report
says, that four, and five and even six tons
OF hay, and sixty or seventy bushels of
seed have been produced from an acre
of Millet but in farming, as in every
thing else, we must not believe every
report believe good land well prepa-
red will produce two or three tons of
3hay and about thirty bushels of seed
this | think may be calculated on. The
farmer will and ought to make his calcu-
lations but they, are liable to fail from
many accidents and circumstances be-
vond his control-he must often per-
: severe in the face of disappointments.
Providence when he cuts short crop
one year usually makes itup the next
he win afford every thinking man evil
dence that on him he is dependant for
his bread.
If it should prove true, that Millet will
produce any thing like sixty bushels of
seed to the acre, think it will or ought
to be substituted, to considerable ex-
tent, in the place of corn (maize). If
half the labor only is necessary to pro-
duce as much provision from an acre of
Millet as from an acre Of corn, farmers
ought to make the change of the latter
for the formar in cropping. Both corn
and Milet arc no doubt great exhaus-
tiers but these crops, if we'll managed,
will produce twice as much food for
man and beast as any other crop-the
Nlillet will produce for cattle more pro-
vender than corn: Timothy is great
exhauster of the soil, but it repays ex-
penses of cultivation, sc. so well that no
wise man is likely TO discard it as crop,
who has land suitable for its growth. |
Yremark in the last place that any good
crop will exhaust the soil considerably
let farmers use proper care and man.
agement in collecting and saving man.
,re and thev will have loss tn fear from
exhausting crops-let itbe remembered
that 10 acres of rich land will produce
forhalf the expense as much as 20 acres
of poor land let the farmer manure
the land he puts in crop-this viii enable
him to give rest to so much more of his
land, which will require but little man
ure 10 give good return when it comes
in its turn to be cropped.
Flour at Rio Janeiro June so, was at
500 to ~ dollars.

VICTORIOUS BRAVERY CAN DIE CON
TENTED.

1ntle heat Of the engagement, dur
ing the battle OF Eutaw Springs, on
the 9Th of September, 1881, colonel
Williams, lieutenant colonel Campbell,
OF the Virginia and Maryland cont.
nentals, were ordered to charge with
trailed arms; and nothing could ex.
coed the intrepidity with which these
orders were executed. They rushed
on in good order through a tremendous
fire ofartillery and musketry, and bore
downall before them: lieutenant colon
ell Campbell, while leading on bis
men to the decisive charge, received
mortal around; and on being told
that the British were fleeing in every
direction, said, 81 die contented,' and
Immediately expired.

of independence. "Mr. Harrison, de-
legate from Virginia, was large portly

slender and spare.-A little after the
solemn transaction of signing the instru-

From the Georgia Missionary.

From the Ueorgia missionary
Bom.siss of Hsavsn.--There is some
thing absolutely british in the manner
in which the bounties of Heaven are
received by too many OF our race, even
In this christian country! Thousands
who are loaded with profusion oftem-
poral blessings, and whose gamers are
operAowing with the fruits of the earth,
never breathe an aspiration of praise or
thanksgiving to the great Giver OF all
good, or ever mention his name unless 1T
be in the language of profanity-in the
dialect of devils For Him that wa
tereth the hills from bis chambers" they
have no affection-no Thought. Intent
alone on worldly prosperity, and forget
ful of the source whence it is derived,
they are no more regardless OF their du-
ty as rational and accountable beings,
than the untutored Indian of the forest,
or the wandering Arab of the DESERT
But the christian the man who feels
and acknowledges his dependence on
the favor of his Maker how different
are his feelings and conduct! How ex-
allied are the affections OF his heart, when
he beholds himself surrounded By the
bounties of an indulgent Providence,
and exclaims, as he views the fruits oi
his labor, My Father gars them oil,
Apple Jslly.--Itis not known perhaps
so generally as it aught TO be, (says the
Newark Eagle that apples make an ex-
cellent jelly. The process is as fol-
lows they are to be pared, quarsered
the core completely removed, and put in
apot without water, closely covered
and placed in an oven over a fire
When pretty well stewed, the juice is
toabe squeezed out through a cloth, to
which little white of an cggis added, &
then the sugar. Skim it previous to boz
ling, then reduce it to proper consls-
tency, and an excellent jelly will be the
product
