NEWS-CARHIE2's ADDRESS
TO THE P4TRoNS OF THE pFRGINI4N,
FOR THE YEAR 1929.

NHRISTMAS rings out his merry peab
n truce with Care and Sadness
Who would his grieis indulge aud feel,
While all around is eladness
In chlldhood's noisy mirth It's seen;
1T smiles on manhood's ardent men
From sparkling eyes in rapture speaks
And CLOVIS on Beauly's blushing checks.
En- 10y the pleasures of the day,
Nor from the future borrow
lie f1ndIy trlfles life away
Who lives upon tomorrow.
Trust not TOO much the coming hour,
The present is within thy power.
Press not too much the distant mark,
While every step Is in the dark.
While Gentle Love and Friendship guido
To streams of guil,less pleasure,
Pure is the cup, if Taste preside,
And Prudence bound the measure;
Mt drawn from that delirious spring
Whose ebbing leaves behind a sting.
Whele mad incompetence fills her bow O
With burning draughts that murder sous.
Ihro' Fortunes varying frown and smile.
It's bitterness and sweetness,
The year has pass'd. "A, ct awhile
On all lis change and fee,ness
OF those who read our last AddreSs,
Some slumber now in loneliness
Some who read this may pass away
Before another Christmas Day.
Tho gales that lull the dropping year
Sound like iunereaI dlrges,
Rett OF his honors, chill and drear,
AS TO his close he verges.
Soon will his weary pintons close
On mortal joys and moral'woes,
And few will pause to spend thought
On all the good or i'll he brought.
As Times fleet pinions onward sweep
They whisper solemn warning,
Ofthatlong Vght whose dreanless sleep
Hears not the voice Of morning.
Think, then, each moment from its birth
Sacred to deeds of solid worth
Enjoy the present bounty given
And calmly leave the rest to Heaven.

From The Ns,O England Farmer.
DOMESTIC ECONOMY

Mr.. Fessenden,-l shall attempt to give
u brief description of a mode Demonstrating
common parlor and kitchen, which have
partly adopted with complete ouoeees. In
all situations, where the ground will admit,
would have a cellar kitchen, about half
she story below ground. The fire place
should be of sufficient size to contain sever
nj clay furnaces, that the smoke and steam
from them may ascend the chimney. The
chimney should have valve of iron in its
throat which may be opened or shut by
means of rod passing down the chimney i;
the lower end turned so that it may be
ktChed over nail. By this valve you can
regulate the draft of the chimney, as we'll
as extinguish the flames, if your chimney
be on fire. In the winter, would use a
cooking stove of the best construction, with
steam as we'll as smoke pipe for if the
steam from the boilers goes into the smoke
pipe, it will make it foul much sooner. Let
these pipes pass into drum made either
plain or ornamental as best suits the owner.
From the drum conduct it into the chimney
above the valve, which should be always
closed when the stove is in use for no
stove will draw as well if the pipe enters
large chimney open at the bottom.
The drum should be pretty large and
placed in the common parlor Immediately
above the kitchen: if the drum be large
the room will be sufficiently warm in the
coolest weather without il being necessary
to burn stick of wood, excepting a suf-
ficlency in the stove below for warming the
kitchen. This is not only an economical
but also safe way of warming a common
parlor. The mistress may leave the room
without being apprehensive of the fire fall
ing or swapping out on the floor, or the
children falling in it and getting burned ::
and if she goes from home, while there is
fire in the Kitchen, she has always warm
parlor to return to-
There are other advantages in kitchen
thus constructed, which it is unnecessary
here to enumerate. Adjoining the end of
the house next the kitchen would have
shed which should cover the well, and be
sufficiently large for kitchen in summer.
(if preferred) and a wood house in winter
Under the floor of the shed would have a
box or cistern, that would contain water
enough to last "a hours. This may be
pumped or drawn full once day and drawn
out through pipe or leader into the cellar
Kitchen as wanted. fyour building site is
on the declivity of hill, you may make
cheap cistern of lime and gravel on the
bank side; into which the rain from your
roofs may be conducted, and drawn out by
tube inserted into the bottom of the cis-
tern, and leading into your kitchen. fittings
are rightly considered, believe it will be
found that cellar kitchen is more conven-
lent than one above ground, and much more
economical. conclude by saying if YOU
believe this worth place in your Farmer.
you are welcome to tiff it is deemed
otherwise shall not be offended-but have
the satisfaction of having done part Of
my duty JAMES S. LAWRENCE.

DEATH.

THE Genius of Death is beautifully repre-
scented in the 4" Gem" as a Winged Boy, hi:
weeping eyes covered with his left arm, anc
trailing torch reversed in his right hand The
style of the illustration, BY the Rev Geo. Gro.
ly, resembles one of our Elizabethan poets and
BELTS the designing one of grace, not of gloom,
and of tenderness rather than of terror-Lon.
don Literary Gazettc
What is death ? IT'S to be free
No more to love, or hope, or fear
To join the great equality
All alike are humbled there
The mighty grave
Wraps lord and slave;
Nor pride nor poverty dares come
Within that refuge home the tomb
Spirit with the dropping wing,
And the ever weeping eve,
Thou of all earth's kings art king
Empires at thy footstool lie!
Beneath thee strcw'd
Their multitude
Sink, like waves upon the shore;
Storms shall never rouse them more
What's the grandeur of the earth
To the grandeur round thy throne!
Riches, glory, beauty, birth
To thy kingdom all have gone.
Before thee stand
ne Wond rous band;
Bards, heroes, sages, side by side,
Who darken'd nations when they died
Earth has hosts but thou canst show
Many million for her one
Through thy gates the mortal flow
Has for countless years rolpd on
Back from the tomb
No step has come
There fx'd, till the last thunder's sound
Shall bid thy prisoners be unbound
