THOUGHTS
-..,sGan.

On first entering Methodist Meeting House
Lord, whatso'e the temple where
Thy children meet to worship thee,
Hast thou not given thy word that there,
To bless them, thou wilt ever be
Then thou art here with those who knecl
In reverence of thy name divine;
Their hearts thy cheering presence feel
To faiths pure eye thy glores shine.
For here thy favored lambs are fed
With the blest food thy love hath given;
And prayers, like mngling odors shed
From crystal phials, rise to heaven.
We see about this halowed fame
No pageant marks on either side
No costly offering of the vain
No splendid sacrifice to pride.
No sken drapery idly falls
Nor sculptured marble proudly stands;
Devotion reared these sacred walls
And here she lifts her holy hands.
She knows her Gods approving eye
Would not within his house behold.
But with the poor, at misery's cry,
The liberal sacrifice of gold.
Thv servants here are curtained round
lord, by the shadow of thy wings;
And brightest ornaments are found
The o~els Of the King Of Kings
Dear saviour, let my spirit be
Touched, purified and led BY thine
Ny heart an Offering meet for thee
As those that now surround thy shrne
Give me, like them, thy will TO know
An interest in thy pardoning love
Thy likeness and Thy cross below
The crown thy faithful wear above! II.

From Farmer
Spanish Chestnut, Madeira Nat or Eaglsk Walnut
Mr. SKINNER:
Sir,-It seems astonishing that two such valuable
fru trees are so little cultivated the Spanish ches-
nut and the Madeira nut the English walnut. The
former produces very large fruit of excellent quality,
in the greatest abundance, and in the south of Spain,
France, Portugal and Italy, it forms most valuable
tice of food for the poor classes and regular article
of sale for that purpose is but seldom that this food
finds its way to our markets from Europe but pen-
tiful supply might easily be furnished by planting or
