naklnga new book out ofold tunes, spoiled by the
absurd alterations OF an ignoramus, has not been
practlscd. His knowledge of harmony is profound
his taste pure and highly cultivated in the best schools
his acquaintance with authors of sacred, operate,

HOT REDS.

Mn EDIroR-Various experiments have
been made IN order to prepare the best hot
bed. Some cultivators prefer plain horse
manure some mix it with leaves; some take
leaves only.
Now, sir being DESTROYS of trying the
leaves and having abundance, I wish to
know the pest method of preparing hot
bed Of oak ieaces. Will you give directions
in your nextnumbcr, for wish to start one
in february. Can it be done with leaves
only, or should manure be added! If You
will give me some hints, or if some
of your subscribers will give an article to the
public through your paper, it would be a
favor to many of your readers. O.

bic to many of our readers, though they do
not meet the inquiry of our correspondent,

them in pits from eighteen inches to two fec

be obtained from the pits without any diff.

THE VILLAGE BLACK SMITH.

ny u. W. LoSorELLow.
Under a spreading chestnut tree,
The village snlty stands;
The smith mighty man is he,
With large and snewy hands,
And the muscles of his brawny arm,
Arc strong as non bands.
His hair is crisp and black and long,
His face is like the TAM
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns what'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week out, week in from noon till night,
You can hear his /, lows blow
You can hear him sw ing his heavy slcdee,
With measured beat ard SLOW,
Like sexton ringing the OLD Erli chimes,
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from school,
Look in at the open door,
They love 10 STE the flaming forge.
And hear the bellows ioar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaii from thrashing floor.
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys:
He hears the parson pray and preach
He hears his da ghicrs voice,
Singing in the village choir,
Aud 1t makes his heart rejoice.
II sounds To him like her mothers voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs must think of her onre mote,
How in the grave she lies:
And with his hard rough hand he wipes
\ tear from out his eyes.

EaCr evening SEES 1t close
Somc'nne attempted, something done,

For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge Of Life,
Oar fortunes must be wrought
Thus on it, sounding anvils SHAPED
