SABBATH EVENING.


List, there is music IN the air:
1t is the Sabbath evening BELL
Ginning the vesper hour OF prayer,
Der mountain top and low lind dell
And infancy and age are seen,
Slow windng DER the church yard green.
II Is the eve of rest the light
Still fingers On The ILoss. grown tow'r,
While to the drovsy ear of night.
Slowly it marks the evening hour
lis hushcI' and all IS silent there,
Save the low. fcwent voice Of prayer.
And now far down the quiet vale,
Sweet hynnings on the air noat by;
llu,bng de whippoorwil's sad wall
With its oWn primitive melody.
The, breathe otpeacc ike the sweet strains,
That ~ ept at night DER B.,!ler's plains.
And heads are bowed, as Tie. low hymn
Steal, Though that grey and time worn pile,
And the alter lights burn faint and dim,
In the long and moss-Growu Ale.
Ava the Instant foot fan echoes loud,
Above tie bus!''d and kneclng crowd.
And now 1enclrh tie Old eIr1s shade,
where tie r"nu beams may NOT smile,
Brgh' hovoI, upon the graves are laid,
And sad tears SEED unseen the while.
Tile la,l sN cci 4 affection onrss,

How beantfu.. those simple flowers

S,.Il wet with summers gentle showers,
A, btAey too could feel and weep,
Thc> fade and lie The N.nt'r> wind
Shall leave no trace ct them behind
The bright new moon hath set the light
IT'S fading on tie far blue hills
And On It. passing breeze Of night,

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

4 printer was leading bachelors life.
For he would not, could not, procure him wife,
Industrious and prudent. he cut but few captrs,
Printed pamphlets, blank greetings, and weekly
newspapers,
On newspaper day friend happened to call,
While creak went the press. and thump, thump
went the ball
On the part OF the sheet he casting his eye,
Which tells us who marry, AND also who die;
Then says to the printer" unless my ey es fail,
Your impression, just whereabouts, looks rather
pale"
8" Who wouldn't look pale" replies Type, Gin
this case,
With marriage and death staring full in his face"

From he low hamlet to The lofty throne,
Then England, were the smiles of Heaven thine
The bright paernal smiles of Deity;
Then. my loved country would my soil be known,
The hallo"ed, and the bltsl, the truly free.
And every evenings hour nations worship see
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1827-12-29
LOVE AFTER DEATH.

Gone! is the smile that once lighted my way,
Gone! is the eye whose each look was ray,
Gone! IS the heart SO unchanging and true,
Gone! is the lip which to mine fondly flew.
Cold! is the brow which love had oft spoken,
Cold! is the cheek, and each beauty line broken,
Cold is tile hand which to mine trembling stole,
Cold is each nerve that once thrilled with the soul
Dead! grows this heart to the worlds garish splen-
dour,
To the smile Of the gay, and the sigh of the tender
TO the sorrower's tear, and the scorner's rude
laughter;
Dead! to all hope, save of meeting hereafter.

STAR, LOVELY STAR.

Star, lovely star what seest thou
In thy home of boundltss blue
Bright twlnkhng thing, tell me now,
What doth so pleasure tn, view
And the star answered." Man, look,
On the dwellings of holy men,
Whence the prayer is heard and where the bool
OF our Masters truth hath been"
Star, lovely star! why dost thou hide,
In the fleecy cloud thy light
Why dost thou not untarnshed ride
In the deep blue heavens, this night?
And the star answered." Man, 7 see
Where cruel dong will stain,
Your fallen race; and fam would flee
10 that sailing cloud again"
Star, lovely star! where is thy way
When the sun doth toll on high'
Thou goest whenever It's first wild ray
Is klndling along the sky
And the star answ cred" Man, dwell
For aye in my far blue place;
When comes the king, o who may tell
Of the lo~lest of thy race"
Star, lovely star! the gentle moon
(Falr lady of eyen) doth ride,
And thou heest not why then 50 soon,
When sunligh, is pouring its tide
And the star answered." Our mother wills
That we would sparkle in light
OF her own making; our father fills
The whole world with his glory good nightl'

Comes echong through the twilight gray,
Save the lone watch dogs distant bay
The crowd bath pass'd away; the pray'r
And low bresth'd evening hymn are gone,
The cold mist only fingers there,
Der the dark moss and mouldring stone,
And the star, shine brightly DER the glen,
Where rest the quiet homes of men

PRESERVATION OF CABBAGEs.

The London Monthly Magazine gives the follow
ing method by which the Portuguese preserve cab
bage on board their ships. The cabbage is cut SO
as to leave about two inches or of the stem at
tached toit; after which the ph is scooped out to
to about the depth Of in-h, peing taken not
wound or bruise the rnd by this operation. The
cabbages then are suspended by means of a cord,
tied round that portion OF the stem next the cabbage,
and fastened at regular intervals to rope across
the decks. That portion of the stem from which
the pith is taken being uppermost, is regularly fill
ed with water during very long voyages. The same
method might be advantageously adopted in private
houses.

ON Wheat TURNING TO CHEAT.

South-Carolina, August &c, 1897.
Mr.. SKINNER,
SIR Having seen in your paper, No l5, some
remarks by farmer OF Frederick county, Va. reia-
tive to cheat in wheat; and giving his opinion thai
wheat does not turn to cheat, have thought proper
to offer you an experimental fact, and if you think
It merits place in your useful paper, you can give
It one. In the year 1928. my crop of wheat had in
it considerable quantity of cheat which was at
loss to account for. had seen none the preceding
year; but in order to clear my wheat from cheat
entirely, as thought, selected from the best part
Of my crop some of the best bundles, and carefully
separated all the cheat from The wheat before it was
threshed this work was not entrusted to servants,
or 10 any other person but tmysef; was, therefore,
perfectly satisfied that no cheat was left with the
wheat; this wheat was seeded separate from any
other; but when it became of such size as to dis
tnguish it from the cheat and from that time until
it matured, | could not perceive any difference in
the quantity of cheat, there appeared to be as much
with that produced from the seed had been so care
full to separate the cheat FROM as in that from other
seed am, therefore, Of opinion, that from some
cause unknown, wheat does turn to cheat A. p

FALLEN FRUIT.

Be very careful TO gather all punctured or decay
ed fruit whether your trees or on the ground and
give them to your hogs, If you do not, the worms
which they contain, and which have been the cause
of their premature decay, will make their escape
into the ground, and you will find the evils which
await their visitatons will increase upon you another
