rank or dried grass. A small effort in each
sexton or clergyman, would suffice to awaken
attention, to bring to the recollection of some,
and to the fancy of all, scene which every
village should present, grove sacred to the
dead and to their recollection, to calm religious
conversation, and to melancholy musing-in-

ORcHARDlNe. We have observed within a
week or two, that some of our farmers are trim
ming their orchards in the old bungling manner,
leaving tho stump of the limb six inches or a
foot long to rot and decay and eventually de-
stroy the tree.
The best writers on orcharding, recommend
that the pruning of trees be delayed until the
sap runs from the wood. In which case, if the
trimming is done neatly, the healing process
commences Immediately, and the small wounds
will be healed over the same season. The
limb should always be cut off as close to the
trunk or main branch as possible the bark and
wood pared smooth, and if the wound is large
one it should be covered with some compost
ton to prevent the heat and moisture from
making the wood decay before the bark grows
over. II is of little consequence what the COM
position is made of If the trees are small or
the number few, equa! parts of rosin, beeswax
and tallow can he melted together and make
good salve for the purpose. When large or
chard is trimmed, less expensive materials must
be used Taunton .4dr0cate.

THE ABSENT HUSBAND.
Wife, who in thy deep devotion,
rottest up prayer for one
0alilng on the stormy ocean
hope no more-his course is done
dream not, when upon thy pillow
That he slumbers by thy side,
For his corse beneath the billow
Heaveth with the restless tide.
Children, who, as sweet flowers growing,
Laugh amid the sorrowIng rains
hnow ye many clouds are throwing
Shadows on your sire's remains
"nese the hoarse, gray surge i..rolling,
with mountains motion on,
Dream we that its voice is tolling
For your father-lost and gone
When the sun looked on the water,
AS hero on his grave,
Tnglng with the hue of slaughter
Every blue and leaping wave;
Under the majestic ocean,
". Where the giant currents roll'd,
Slept thy sire without emotion
Swsetly by beam of gold
And the violent sunbeams slanted,
Wavering through the crystal deep,
Till their wonted splendors haunted
Those shut eyelids in their sleep.
Sands, like crumbled silver cleaning,
Sparkled through his raven hair,
But the sleep that knows no dreaming
Found him in It's silence there.
So we left him; and to tell thee
OF our sorrow, and thine own,
OF the wo that then befel thee,
Came we weary and alone
That thine eye is quickly shaded,
That thy hearts blood wildly flows,
That thy cheeks clear blood is faded
Are the fruits of these new woes.
Children, whose meek eyes inquiring,
Linger on your mothers face,
Know ye that she is expiring j..
That ye are an orphan race p
God be with you on the morrow
Falher-mother-both 70 more!
One within grave of sorrow,
One upon the oceans floor
