Although we have admitted, for the sake of

Thus from the bloom Of sunny days,

To breathe prayer that thou nigat'st res
Ere chill and storm and blight
Should come upon Thy youthful breast
To dim It's fairy light.
Alas, that even thy childhood dream
In ali its power to bless,

Around the summer bowers,

Entwined among the Bowers
Bot vain the PRAYER. for thine shall be-

That zone but thou shalt know.
And thou whose glee awaken first
The merriest of the tram,
And thou whose childish sorrows burst
In tears like summer rain;
Even thou in after years shalt learn
deep Philosophy,
And from The g'it,or.ag reyel turn
IN fearless sgony-
And wear light aad careless smile.
And wear laughing brow,
And cherish in thy soul the while
It's passion and is woe.
Thou shalt no, die thou sbai, not die
Till many s1ar has passed,
To leave lis BOON OF misery

And thou shalt see the undimmed eve

And many CHILL and biighting hand

And thou shalt live iii blight and storm

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
THE RESURRECTION.

Twice had the Sun gone down opon the
earth, and all was yet quiet as the Sepul-
chre /; Death held its sceptrc over the Son
of God still and silent the hours passed
on, the guards stood by their posts and
the rays ofthe midnight stars cleaned on
their helmets and spears the enemies OF
Christ exnltcd in their success; the hearts
of his friends were sunk in dependency,
ind in sorrow the Spirits Of Glory wait
ed in anxious suspense to behold the G.
vent, and wondered at the depth of the
ways ofGod. AT length the morning star
rising in the east, announced the approach
of light the day He began to dawn up
on the world-when on sudden the earth
began 10 treMblc from its centre, and the
powers Of Heaven were shaken an angel
Of God descended, the guards shrunk
back from his counteance and fell pros
trate on the ground; his countenanee was
like lightning, and his raiment was as
white as SHOW he rolled away the stone
from the sepulchre and sat upon it. But
who is this that comes forth from the tomb
He that is glorious in his appearance, walk
ing in tho greatness ofhis strength ? 1t
is thy Prince, o Zion Christian, 1t is
thy Lord He hath troddcn the wine
press alone. He hath stained his raiment
with blood I; but now as that first born
He meets the morning of His Resurrect-
ion; He rises a conqueror from the grave;
He returns With blessings from the place
of departed spirits He brings salvatioh
To the sons of men. Never did fhc sun
usher in ii day so glorious Il was
the jubilee of the Universe. The morning
stars sang together, and all the sons OF
God shouted for Joy : the Father Of Mer-
cics looked down ff6h his throne N the
Heavens with comfl1cthcy ), He bfheld
his world restored Hc saw bis work that
it was good. Then did the desert rejoice;
the face Of pastre was gladdened before
him when the blessing of the Eternal de-
scended as the dew d Heaven for the re-
ireshing ofthc nations.

REARING POULTRY

From, an interesting communication in
The 'S5tahsrn .agricslturist, by lady, we
gather The following directions. Poultry

best. Fowls too fat do, ,not lay abundant
iy. No profit in raising fOo.s If YOU
have TO buy grain. They should be fed
early in the morning, and aboSt siih-set:
Regularity Of feeding both in time and
place, is of great importance. Cleanli'
ness and shelter from storms End winds,
nre essential TO the health. Clean water
il u preventative of the pip. Ihs fowls
house should be often clcanscd and per
famed with herbs. Straw, ip the nest,
changed every ten or fifteen days. Hay
is better than straw, not sc liable TO Breed
vermin. Ashes and sand should be con-
venient, where they might roll, and trim
their feathers. 10 make them lay in win
ter, they should be shut up in warm
place. Boiled potatoes and turnips are
cheap and good food. Melons and salad
1re refreshing in summer. Young hens
should be put 70 sit in quiet place.
Eggs may be preserved by coat ofvarn-
ish, by pouring over them warm mutton
suet 50 as to fill up the cavities between
them, by SURROUNDING tn" with paste
of ashes and strong brine, or by immersing
them in water, containing solution Of

WOUNDSIN CATTLE.

The treatment of wounds in brutes is
nluch the same as that practiccd m healing
those on the human body. The opera
tions of nature are the same in both; and
from these are derived the principles which
direct the management Of wounds. The
cruelties which are practised by ignorant
and unskilful persons, in applying their
nostrums, and knives and pinccrs, cords
and burning irons, to poor dumb animals,
call loudly for the Intervention Of common
sense and humanity.

cessively subject TO warp, which is pre-
vented by adopting this expeditions mode
Of seasoning.
Having provided steam tight wooden
box capable Of holding conveniently such
pieces ofmahogany as are fit for chairs,
&c. pipe from boiler is adapted to it,
by means of which, after the mahogany
has been put in, the box is filed with
steam, the temperature Of which is about
equal to that ofboiline water.
The time required for inch and half
wood is about two hours, and pieces
this thickness will become sufficiently
dry to work after being placed in warm
room or work shop "a hours. The wood
by this treatment is somewhat improved
in its general colour, and those b,emishes
which are technically called green veins,
are entirely removed. 1t is also obvious,
that the eggs or larvae Of insects which
may be contained in the wood will be de-
stroyed by the heat Mechanics Mag.
Steam is used by many Of our mechan-
les, not only for seasoning timber, but for
bending it into proper shapes for plough
handles, scythe-snaths, or sneads, SC.
