coors and brighlens upon the world thou art soon
dispersed, and leavesi sick heart behind.
Past aud future veil themselves 10 us. But the
former bears the veil Of the widow, the latter that

A noble minded prince, silyered with age, al

THE MTSER.

THE MISER.
The mouse crcp, out Of the old stone wall
10 search for the precious store,
And he wandered silently through the hail,
And gnawed ut the boted door;
And the gray-haircd miser turned his head;
lie turned his head and swore.
And there he sat with his sunken eyes,
That old man thin and pale,
While the wind IN broken symphonies,
Though The cracking blinds made wall,
And the raven croaked on the balIlement
In the rising autumn gale.
Over his shoulder fearful look
AT the boIled door gave he,
And his knees in his thread bare brooches shook
Like the limbs OF a wihered tree top
When the shrill wind shrieks on the the mountain
In lis midnight agony!
Alb sad and fearful to look upon
Were those CLASSY eyes OF his,
For a soul shOuG out OF them, had done
Much in its day amiss,
And thought was dark and bitter thing,
Unto the man WIS?
A dark and bitter thing it was,
For his heart was dry and cold,
And he had been deaf TO the widows cause,
For the sake of his precious god
Counting it Ter, wear out year in,
In that room SO dim and cold.
The old man gazed at the boled door,
And muttered 10 himself,
For he thought oihls heaps of shining ore
And all his ill-got pef
In the good strong iron chests that, side by side.
Stood locked ON his cellar shelf.
Then paler and poler waved his cheek,
For the storm wind Gercer grew,
Aud the raven with dismal shrek
Against the window flew,
And the lightning through the pitch black nigh!
The glare Of u Demon threw.
And the gloomy thunder moaned on high,
As the huge clouds dar! with rain,
Like an army Of ragged lends swept by
From the wind tossed ocean man;
Slowly and solemn and black ms DEATH
Mid the roar Of the hurricane
Long years passed over that lonely house,
But the foot of man no more
Was heard by the small grey garret-mousc,
That gnnwed in the shattered floor,
Till II wild grim visaged outlaw came
And unbolied that oa,en door.
But he rushed out Of he room with cheeks as white
AS the checks Of dead men are
All me!-such sad and ,woiul sigh,
That strong nerved man saw there!
'TwouId have curdcd the blood in his nnty heart
Had it been like the heart of bear.
For his arms had clasped skeleton cold.
That sat in the solemn gloom
Beside Golfer of precious gold,
In that dark and lonely room,
Aud this was all that ever was knowa
OF gray haired misers doom.

WILL CHARCOAL SN LAND PRE-

A writer. Mr.. J. y Hepburn, IN the
Transactions Of the New York State Agri-

made acquainted with another result of the
application of charcoal to arabic land-,hat
is, wherever charcoal has been applied, rust
never affects the growing crop of wheat
That wherever field generally had been
struck with rust as it is called, these places
where he had applied charcoal, mroriaJly
escaped"
Has any one observed anything of the
kind in Maine The only place where its
effects would be likely to be exhibited, are
where coapils had been made and the old
bottoms sowed over with the rest of the field

BLACK GUM IN CHERRY AND
pTIIM TREES

In almost every direction that We travel,
we notice the almost complete destruction
of the cherry and plum trees. 1t is done by
small insect which depositcs an egg in the
bark. Soon after the Matching of the worm
fungus kind of wood shows itself, which
turns black, and finally the tree dies.
The only remedy that we know is, pru-
ming off the diseased branches and burning
them up. This, TO be e1ectual, should be
done by all who have trees so affected, for
unless all do it, they allow new swarm of
the enemy 10 come forth to continue their
depredatons upon the same or other trees
We should judge from the many unsightly
trees in the country, that little or nothing had
been done, and, as a natural consequence,
most of the trees are dead, or very nearly
so. There is anotherremedy which SUCCESS
ted tsclfto our mind on reading Boucherie's
method of charging trees with different flu
id be put into the circulation which would
not kill the tree, and yet kill the insects 3
We have heard that if sulphur be put into a
hole bored in an apple, ounce or other tree
infested with the borers, it would kill them.
We have never seen this done, and are at
some loss TO conceive how il can act, unless
particles Of the dry sulphur are taken up
by the sap and hoa,cd through the vessels
until they come in contact with the insect or
worm. Ii is possible, however, that some
new substance may be formed by the COM
bination of the sulphur with some element
of the sap and thus be the means of produ-
cling the effects alleged.
Bouchcric found that that by eating a
notch in the trunk of tree so as to hold a
portion of any fluid, while the tree was in
leaf, it would rise and lie circulated through
ont the whole trunk and limbs.
Experiments ought to be instituted in or
der to ascertain what fluids may be thus in
jected which shall be death to insects but
health to the tree.-Moinc Farmer.

WAR AND PEACE.

Where copous issuing, blood untes with blood,
And crimson rivers flow along ho.ground-
Who that hath heard the dying shrois and groans
or mangled Victims who their lives have sold
Or heard the broken hearted widows means,
Which his DRY hath never fully told
Who that hath seen the desolatine train
or evils which from horrid battles flow,
Heaps upon heaps the wounded and the slain,
Orphans and widows signs and tears and wo--
All, who that ever fel, these bitter woes,
That would not in his very soul abhor-
Yea, who among the sons Of men, that knows
These evils, would not deprecae-a war
Wherc is the man who hath heart so base,
To seek the laurcls conquerors oft have wore,
And gain gnoble fame and black disgrace
by bathing sabres in nations gore.

Hannah departed, and Aunt Mary pro-
ceeded to examine jar after jar of her rich
store of preserves, and much to her dsap-
pointment, found that all her ounces and
peaches, comprising some eight or ten Jars,
had commenced working These she took
from their dark corners in the closet, and
after placing them on the large table in the
kitchen, awaited patiently Hannal,'s return.
In about ilfteen minutes, her help entered
