 It is the hour when Days bright things Are stealing swiftly from the Night, And Twilight on Der silver wings Is bending from the hills her flight; Der slumberiDg spring flowers, slightly bent, The whispering winds in gladness sigh, And every breath by evening sent, Is bringing roses fragrancy. Oh 'tis an hour to think of thee!
 Dream of my boyhood! though the day Come with its visions cheerlessly,
 To tear thee from my thought away: Yet mid the fearfuness of night,
 The hour of stiffness, and of dread, Thou 'rt with me b!essd iH visions bright, The lov'd-the beautful-the dead. And art thou dead ?-I could not think Amid earth's beauty, and the play Of youths wild pulses, thou shouldst sink In thy young loveliness away: But oh! there are no ties which bind Young holy spirits from the sky! And thou hast pass'd in joy to find
 Kindred throughout eternity. But if amid thy home on high,
 Fond spirits meet that lov'd below, Communing there eierna!ly,
 Forgetful of earth's darksome wo- Oh ii were joy to think thee bless'd, Though every hope that cheerd the way Of earth to happiness and rest
 Was wither'd when thou pass'd away. And filthy spirits spotless wing May wander to this lonely sphere, And pause by each remembered thing That thou hast ov'd unchanging here; In this bless'd hour of glory bring Some token from thy home on high, That from Earth's dark cline may spring, To spend with thee eternity.

not fail to injure US. We shall soon be

similarity Of taste, we shall be sure to

And let me say to you, my friends, It
is not the low and the dissipated, the vul-

and society you are most in danger
These every young man, who has any
sense of character, will of course despse
and shun. But there are persons of de-
cent morals, of polished manners, and in
teresting talents, but who, at the same
time, are unprincipled and wicked; who
make light of sacred things, scoif relig-
ion, and deride the suggestions at and
scruples Of tender conscience as super
stiton. these are the persons whose So
ciety and influence are most TO be feared
Their breath is pollution, their embrace
death And, unhappiy, in every large
and populous place, there are many of
this description. They mark out their
unwary victims; they gradually draw
them into their tolls; they strike the dead
ly fang; infuse the poison; and exult to
see youthful virtue and parental hope,
"wther and expire under their ruffian
example" Many young man has thus
been led on by his elders in iniquity, till
he has been initiated into all the myste-
ries of debauchery and crime, and end
ed his days a poor, outcast wretch

THE USE OF TEARS.

Be not thy tears too hnrshly chid,
Repine not at the rising sgh;-
Who, if they might, would always bid
The breast be still. the cheek lie dry'
How little Of ourselves we know
Before grief the heart has felt;
The lessons that we learn OF wo
May brace the mind as well as melt.
The energies too stern for mirh,
The reach Of thought, the strength will,
Mid cloud and tempest have their birth,
Through blight and blast their course fulfil.
Loves perfect triumph never crownd
The hope unchequer'd d by pang;
The gaudest wreaths with thorns are bound.
And sappho wept before she sang.
Tears at each pure emotion flow:
They wait on PHYS gentle claim.
On Admiration's fervid glow,
On Piety's soraphc fame.
IT'S only when it mourns and fears
The loaded spirit feels forgiven,
And through the mist of falling tears
We catch the clearest glimpse Of heaven.

From the New England Farmer.
FARMERS WORK FOR FEBRUARY,

i Take this leisure time TO select ana
purchase such neat cattle, sheep, pigs,
seed corn, seed wheat, potatoes for plant
ing, sc. as will be likely to prove most
valuable on your farm, having in mind
the following maxim, viz. Choose those
animals or vegetables to propagate from,
that possess the qualities, you wish might
be possessed by their offspring in the
greatest reflection. Our farmers are too
apt to sell off their best stock to the butch
ers and keep the poorest to breed from;
and to gather their seeds from vegeta-
bles, which were reserved for that pur-
pose because they were too worthless
for the harvest
Dress out hemp and flax, and see that
your spinning wheels come somewhat
nearer to perpetual motion than some
machines, which have been invented for
that purpose. For every cent saved in
domestic manufactures you gain at least
three cents. One cent you gain by the
greater durability of the home spun arti-
Gle; one cent you save of cash mol paid
for the purchase, and one cent, or per-
haps, countless cents by bringing up your
family to habits Of thrift and industry.
Look well to your sheep. lfyou wish
for fine healthy lambs, you will take good
care of the ewes. 'For few days or
weeks before yeaning time they should
be generously fed,-some juicy food
which they are fond of should be given
them, such az turnips, potatoes, sc. that
they may have more milk for their lambs:
for it is the opinion of careful observers
that want of milk is the cause Of the dy-
ing of so many lambs in the first stages of
their existence.* 1t has been recon-
mended to give ewes about a gill of
Indian corn a day each, till they have
produced their young, in order to give
them strength; and while sucking, good
roots or some other juicy food. The
Farmers Manual says IF you have stor-
cd more turnips than are sufficient for
the use of the table, give them to any
stock that will eat them, except your
sheep; give to them potatoes, but not tur-
nips at this season; they will injure the
lambs. Weak lambs should be treated
in all respects as if they had been drown
ed, and you would restore them to life.
Apply gentle and regular warmth; give
warm milk frequently in small quantities,
(the milk of the sheep is best, and ifthe
eve has sufficient for its support you may
generally raise them, but if not they gen
orally die. 1t is more work to nurse one
such lamb for "a hours than to feed reg
ularly 100 sheep for the same time. If
your flock be large the wethers should be
kept by themselves. They do not re-
quire 40 good keeping as ewes and young
sheep The Farmers Guide says If
lambs are weak it is necessary TO give
them, the first day or two, small guam
tity of cows milk, warm, three or four
times in the day; iii is cold weather,
the cup containing the milk should stand
IN another vessel that is partly filled with
warm water. Should the lamb be chill
led, rub his legs with tow, and let
