Tapping Trees-A writer in the Boston

the augur should not penetrate more than
half an inch into the wood. observation hay-

sap at this depth, than at a greater or less.
We should think this depth rather TOO small,

use half inch auger, bore I-2to 2 inches

Written on the death of Maria Who died Aug
20, 1882. in the 18th Year of Her age.
Surrounded with friends in The Land of orr birth,
We recoIect not that we're born bu, 10 die,
Nor think that we're placed in home on this ear'h
10 prepare for another that's hid from ON eye.
But here bright witness before us has passed,
That speaks Of The blessing that truth eau unfold
Enduring as seeing The first and the last =,
Combined in The bliss that by earth is untold.
Though diseases sable hand was displayed on her
brow,
Resignation concealed the remoles, complaint;
That smile on her feature will long disa'low,
Disirust in the love of Jehovah 10 saints.
Though nature was struggling with paid decay,
In commissions exquisite no mnrmnr was heard !:
"Oh weep not for me-" the dear sufferer would say
"But from sin against Jesus, be ever deferred
And seeing that death has no fear TO hestow,
On those who have treasure IN Heaven above,
TO die is to sleep from those rif'es below,
Surrounded by Angels 10 Heaven above.
Her joy but increased MS her exit drew nigh,
Till she past from this region from toll aud pam,
Till she left This vain wo, I'd with smile and sigh,
No doubt for city Of infinite gain.
Tho worlds can't sup ly what they've lost by her
death,
Her relatives feel that their loss ia her gain
Aud acquaintance suppressng each murmurng
breath,
Will remember that pieIy scars above pain.
Tho thought Of our exit may tend 10 alarm,
IT'S only debt to our natures we owe,
And lie who lives justly, no evil can harm,
For death is the Angel that carries him home
