THE WIDOW AND HER SON.

The sunset hour how many hail
Rejoicing in It's glow,
bordering with golden hucs the yeii
That twilight spreads Glow.
Gladly the peasant secs its fire
Tinging the old tree stems,
Turning church window. roof aud spire,
To gold and living gems.
The lover halls its reign on Garth,
For then he knows, full soon,
The loved one from her home comes forth,
To wander meath the moon;
But never may its leeting waves
SO fittngly BE- shed,
As on the hallowed place of graves
The City of the Dead
So thinks the pale and silent one
Who seeks her husbands toni;
With him went down her cheering sun,
And all around was gloom.
Yet, as in darker skies there are
Some little streaka of light,
Still shines for her one lonely star,
When al, besides is night.
She brings that living treasure here,
With awed and reverend tread,
Yet, with the love that casts out fear
He stands beside the dead
Her home hath grown aionely place,
Though friends may gather there
Without the one beloved face
What pleasure can she share?
Her home!-no more her house may claim
A word so very dear,
The only spot that hath that name
For her on earth is here!
Now hath it grown daily joy,
To steal from friends and kin,
And by this tomb, with that fair boy,
To talk Of him within.
Each day he lss with car intent,
To al! she can npaft,
She builds her husbands monument
Within that orphans heart.
And who can tell but after years
May witness to the power
A mo'her's word. and prayers, and tears,
Can have at sunsets hour!
When dark temptations shall be his
Perhaps this thought shall save:
"My mother warned me once of this
Beside MY fathers gravc!'
Well, painter dds, thou choose the hour,
To paint the widowed one
Beneath the mag c and the power
OF that declining sun.
This is the spot her hearthods dear
This is her harpicst time
Her gentle spirit rises here
To something of sublime.
If midst her sorrow, hope, pride,
Her heart may oversprcad;
IT'S when these twain nre by her Side
The living and the Dead

Remarks on seeds and Seedsmcn-Sowint
seeds, Causes of Failure. sc.

Remarks on seeds and misunderstanding
seeds. Causes of Failure. sc.
The production of living plants from small
grains Of seed dropped in the earth,is one Of
the most wonderful and beautiful operations
of Nature. When examined by the light of
Science, it is found TO be effected by the
combined agency of EARTH air, moisture and
heat: and to ensure success, it is necessary
that these four elements be combined in due
but different proportions, according to the
nature and habits Of the different kinds of
seeds. Hence arises the difficulty of causing
some kinds to vegetate; and the uncertainty
which gardeners generally feel respecting
many Of their crops until they see the young
plants appear. Hence, also, arise most of
the complaints which are made to secdsmen,
and the censures which are uniuslly cast
upon them by inexperienced cultvators.
In order TO explain this subjcct, and with a
view to lessen the evil, the Proprietor of the
Rochester Seed Store has added the testi-
mony of several highly respectable and sue
cessiul cultivators in the country, and some
accounts ofmcthods of preparing and sowing
several of the most important kinds of seeds
that are liable to fail with careless manage
ment.
The Editor Of the Albany Culivator,
speaking on this general subject, says:-
"Seeds often fail to grow and the seeds
man is often iaul,ed, for vending bad seeds,
when the causes of their not growing is
owing to the gardener or planter. To in
duce termination, moisture. atmospheric
air, and certain temperature, are indis-
nensable. and il is also REQUISITE that light

GOOSEBERRlES.

Gooschcrries require very rich soil; and
in. an airy situation or shade, they are but
little liable to miIdew. In all low lands, and
in confined situations, in our climate, the
fruit of the gooscberry almost invariably
mildews but never on the open hills, and
in places exposed to drying winds. They
arc raised from cuttings planted very early
in April, in moist soil every eye should
be cut out except the two uppcrmost. In
autumn, cut off the lower shoot very close,
and shorten down the one left to six or nine
inches. The bushes must be so managed as
to be furnished with limbs dIverging in every
direction, continually increasing in number
as they advance rom the centre. With this
object in view, the young leading shoots of
the last year are annually cut back to six or
nine inches, and proportion of the Others
are cut quite close. Thus the bushes will
continue extending, every part beng duly
filed with hearing wood, sufficient space
being left to admit The sun and free circu-
laton Of air. The largest prize gooseberries
are raised on vigorous young bushes, which
have not more than five or six branches, and
bu, one or two, or at most three berries or
branch.-idm.

pieces, and compelled him TO ily with his fleece 10
