With recoected music; though the tone

mournful tone the night-aiT brings above
this lonely tomb
Like thoughts OF fair and fided things, amid
life's changeful gloom
Deep shadows OF the past are here !--and Fan
cy wanders back
When JOY woke in this mouldering breast now
passed from life's dim track;
When hopes made glad his spirit here, as the
pure summer ram
Pours its sweet influence on the earth, with
all her flowery train
While buds are tossing IN the breeze beneath
deep blue sky -
And Pleasures chant was in his ear, ere he
had gone to die
Youth too, was his-its morning hour--its
sunlight for his brow
Its phantons shone for him 10 chase in giddy
round, but now;
Perchanco the glee Of his young heart-the
gancing Of his eye
Hath been upon another shore-beneath a
brighter sky;
The night tones have no tale to tell-no MS
tory to unfold
The tall scro-grass that waves along, IN sad
ness o'er his mould
These speak not--decp in dreamless rest, the
peaceful sleeper lies
There is no pang 20 rend his heart-no grief
to dim his eyes.
Perchancc, in halcyon hours Of youth, tran
sient dream Of love
Came TO his breast while earth was Joy and
heaven was light above
When his soul was filed with gladsome
thought--and in idolatry,
He bowed him to that holy shrine, which in
our youth we sec -
A star above life's troubled scene--a CLEAN
upon ats wave
A ray, whose light is soon eclipscd, in the
darkness Of the grave
A song, which, like the mirthful tone Of wild
birds Oh the wing,
Dies, whcn the dewy eyentde enshrouds
sky of spring
l know but this Deaths shade dwolls upon
his deep sealed eye -;
Vainly earth laughs in joy for him, or the
blue summer sky
The gales may tell where flowers repose, or
where the young buds SWELL
Their oft~chant may Mt enter here, wlthla

Flowers, dreams, and grief alike are past
and why should nan reDly
When life is bnt wilderness, whose promise
soon may die

A curtain, which DER ALL must spread it,

The wall Of the expiring year is in tho doe

The leaf is borne upon tho stream in its dirh

The clouds arc on the chastened hills--and

9th. the last and most important, you are
involably TO keep your masters secrets;
relate none of his business not even To
your most intimate friends. A breach OF

Mr. $. will cheerfully grant you every IN

Punctudiity among mechanics, is great
dcsideratum. Show us a mechanic, who
will get our work done by the time specl-
fled, and we will cherish him as the apple
sfour eye. But TO the mechanic,who makes
us call twice, fire and sickness excepted
we bid farewell-'a long farewell, he is
not the man for our money. The mechan-
ic gains nothing for false promises, except
bad name. In order to grasp at all the
work in the neighborhood, many mechan-
ic will promise, when he knows it is not IN
his power to pertorm.--What is such man
but liar? To say nothing Of the vice OF
lying. than which there is nothing more
low,and contemplate; the mechanic, in the
end, gets far less work by false promises
than he would BY strict adherence to the
truth. Punctudlity in mechanic is the
soul of business, the foundation of prospe'
rty, and the security Of good reputation

I Tintsr Evenings intelligence and
ofteI the success Of farmers, depend on
the manner lheir Winter evenings are
spent. The privilege Of deyoting them to
( the acquisition Of useful information, is not
enjoyed so uninterruptedly by any Glass;
The farmers pursuits Of the day invite him
TO draw near the fire +; and ifhe has taste
! for useful reading, particularly for that
connected with rural pursuits, we scarcely
can imagine one TO spend his time more ra-
tionally and happily.-Knowing that all
his live stock are well fed and taken care
of, and harassed with none ofthe anxieties
Of those whose business is connected with
thousands, and liable to ten thousand re-
verses, he can give his mind wholly TO the
sentiments and rcasonings Of his author.
But many who cannot command more
than one, two, or three hours at time,
excuse tn themselves from reading altogeth-
er. The father acts on this principle, and
the sons follow his example ; and thus II is
that there are not more extensively read
aud enterprising farmers. Let US now
make some calculation Of the time that
could be employed in the acquisition ofuse.
fnl information, from the age OF fourteen
to fifty.-Suppose that three hours OF the
twenty. -four, for four days Of each week
during the six Winter months, were spent
in useful reading. This would amount,
when he would arrive at 50 years of age,
10 II ,232 hours, if he read 20 pages per
hour, it would be 234 $40 pages. Allow
ing each volume to contain 224 pages, it
would amount to one thousand Uotumes.
Now, what would be the result of thus de-
voting this small portion Of his time ? II
would give a right bont to his mind--te
to prevent him from spending his time and
money at improper places-he would be-
come acquainted with the state of agricul-
ture in his own country, and in others-be
more enterprsing, and be enabled to use
to better advantage the means within his
reach, and thus become a more successful
cultivator Of the soil. In fine his taste for
knowledge would increase he would be.
come more valuable citizen, blessing to
his friends and neighbours, and more like
ly to descend with grey hairs in rcpose to
his grave.-[N. Y. Farmer.

fraught with the most glaring falsehocds, is
