Weep not, weep not, that in the spring We have to make grave: The flowers will grow, the birds wall sing The early roses wave And make the sod we're spreading far For her who sleeps below; We might not bear to lay her there,
 In winter frost and snow. We never hoped to keep her long; When but fairy child, With dancing step, and birdlike song,
 And eyes that only smiled, A something shadowy and frail
 Was ever in her mirth She look u flower that one rough gale Would bear away from earth. There was too clear and blue light Within her radiant eyes, They were too beautiful, too bright,
 Too like their native skies Too changeabie the rose which shed
 lis color on her face, Now burning with a passionate red, Now with just one faint trace. She was too thoughtful for her years, Its shell the spirit wore; And when she smiled away our fears, We only feared the more. The crimson deepened on her check, Her blue eyes shone more clear, And every day she grew more weak, And every hour more-d dear. Her childhood was happy time,
 The loving and beloved; Ton sky, which was her native cline, Hath but its own removed. This earth was not for one to whom Nothing of earth was given; Twas but resting place, her tomb, Between the world and Heaven.

Fire Proof Cement. The French ce- 1nent for the roofs oi houses, to preserve the wood and protect it from fire, is made in the following manner:
 Take as much lime as is used in ma king pot full of white wash, and let it be mixed in q pail full of water; in this put two and half pounds of brown su- gar, and three pounds of fine salt; mix them well together, and the cement is completed. A little lamp black, yell low ochre, or other coloring commedi- ty. may be introduced to change the color of the cement, to please the fan cy ofthose who use 1t. It has been used with great success, and been recotn- mended particularly as protection against fire. Small sparks Of fire that frequently lodge on the roofs of houses, are prevented by thiscemen from burn ing the shingles. So cheap and valua- ble precaution against this destruc- tive element ought not to pass untried. Those who wish to be better satisfied ofits utility, can easily make the expe- riment by using small temporary build ing or it may be tried on shingles put together for the purpose, and then ex- posed to the fire.

Perhaps some lovers of Cucumbers may be benefited by acknowledge of my method of raising them.
 Take two or three barrels, either with or without bottoms, bore num- Der of holes near the lower ends, sink them few inchesin the ground ina suit able situations; tillthem abouttwo thirds full of mature, raise the earth little round the outside of them, and plant from nine to twelve seeds four or five inches from them; place some brush against them to defend the young vines from the bugs; in dry weather, pour every day one or two pails of water into the barrel, to enrich and moisten the earth around them. At the propersea- son, gather eucumbers as often as you want them, until the frost kills the vines. J. GIBBoNs
