Night is the Time

NrGnr is the time for rest:
How sweet when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain Of rePose;
Stretch the tired limbs and lay the head
Upon our own delightful bed.
Night is the time for dreams;
The CAV romance Of life,
When truth that is, and truth that seems,
Blend in fantastic strife;
All. visions less bcguIlIng far,
Than waking dreams by daylight are.
Night is the time for toll
To plough the classic field,
Intent 10 find the buried spoil
lis wealthy burrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sang or heroes wrought.
Night lie the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves Of memory, where sleep
The Joys of other years;
HOPES that were angels in their birth,
But persisted young like things of earth
Night is The time 10 watch;
On oceans dark expanse,
To hail the pleiades, or catch
The full moons earliest glance,
That brings into the home-sick mind,
All we nave loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care;
Brooding on hours %misspent,
To see the spectre of despair
Come TO our lonely tent;
Like Brutus midst bis slumbering host
Startled by Caesars stalwart ghost.
Night is the time TO muse;
Then from the eye. the soul
Takes fight. and with expanding view
Beyond the starry pole,
Describes athwart the abyss of night
The dawn Of uncreated light.
Night is the time 10 pray;
Our Savior oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away.
So will bis followers do;
Steal from the ,hrong to haunts untrod,
And hold communion there with God.
Night is the time for death;
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease;
Think of Heavens bliss and give the sign
To partinp friends-such death be mine!

Vol. II...NO. 3S.

The BIBLE.-The following pas
sage from Mr.. Webster's great speech
at Bunker Hill, deserves to be circu-
lated far and wide in the Journals of
the country.
SIT has been said with very much
~veracity, that the felicity ofthe Anne
rican colonists consisted in their es-
cape from the past. This is true, SO
far as respects political establish
ments, but no father. They brought,
with them a full portion Of all the
riches OF the past, in science, in art
in morals, religion and literature.-
The Bible came with them. As it is
not to be doubted, that to the free
and universal reading Of the Bible, is
TO be ascribed in that age, that men
were much indebted for right views
of civil liberty. The Bible is a book
Of faith. and a book Of doctrine; but
it is also a book which teaches man
his own individual responsibility, his
own dignity. and his equality with his
fellow man."

But let every dairy man and wo-
man remember. that after the rennet

of product. In the first place, the
greatest attention is necessary as 10
the quantity of rennet to a given
quantity Of milk. This should al
ways be determined by H~eight or
measure-then the temperature at
which the rennet is added. This
should never be left to the vague man.

INDUsrRr.-Every youngman should
remember that the world will always
honor industry. The vulgar idler,
whose energies Of mind and body are
resting for want of exercise-the mis-
taken being who pursues amusement
rs a relief to his enervated muscles,
or engages in exercise that produces
no useful end, may look with scorn
on the smutty laborer engaged in his
toll. But this scorn is praise. His
contempt is honor. Honest industry
will secure the respect Of the wise
and good, and yield the fruit of an
easy conscience, and give hearty self
respect which is above all price.
Toll on, then, young man.. Be dill
gent in business, improve the heart
and mind, and you will find the we'll
spring Of enjoyment in your own soul,
and secure the confidence and respect
Of all those whose respect is worth
an effort TO obtain.

Six Reasons for Planting an Orchard.

lst. Would you leave an inheri-
lance to your children?-piant an or
chard.' No other investment of mo-
ney and labor will, in the long run
pay so well.
Cd. Would you make home pleas
ant-the abode of the social virtues;
plant an orchard. Nothing better
promotes among neighbors a feeling
Of kindness and good will, than a
treat of good fruit often repeated.
Sd. Would you remove from your
children the strongest temptation to
steal!- plant an orchard. If chill
dren cannot obtain fruit at home,
they are very apt 20 steal; and when
they have learned to steal fruit, they
are in u fair way TO learn 10 steal hor-
Ses.
4,h. Would you cultivate a con-
slant feeling Of t%hankfulness towards
the great Giver of all good!-plant
an orchard. BY having constantly
before you one of the greatest bless
ings given to man, you must be har-
dened indeed if you are not influence
ed by a spiri, of humility and thank
fulness.
5th. Would you have your chill
dren love their home-respect then
parents while living and venerate
their memory when dead--in all their
wanderings look back upon The home
Of their youth as 4 sacred sPot-an
oasis in the great wilderness Of the
world, plant an orchard.
9th. In short, if you wish to avail
yourself of the blessings Of a bounti.
full Providence, which are within your
reach you must plant an orchard.-
And when you do it, see that yor
plant good fruit. Don't plant crat
apple trees, no wild plums. nor lndl
an peaches. The best are the cheap

The Wife.--It is not unfrequent a
wife mourns over the alienated atfec'
tons of her husband, when she has
made no effort herself TO strengthen
and increase his attachment. She
thinks, because he once loved her, he
ought aIwayst to love her and she neg,
iects those attentions which gained
his heart. Many a wife is thus the
cause Of her own neglect and sorrow:
The woman deserves not a husbands
love who will not greet HIM WIN
smiles when he returns from the Ia
bors Of the day; who will not cham
him to his home by the sweet enchant-
ment of a cheerful heart. There is
not one in a thousand SO unieelIng as
to Withstand such Influence and break
away from such a homer

that on the part of duty no sacrifice

ing with them is impossible but 10

The chamber of the sick, the pillow
of the dying, the vigils of the dead,
the affairs of religion, never missed
the presence or the sympathies of
kind woman. Timid though she be.
and so delicate that the winds of
heaven may not too roughly visit her,
on such occasions she loses all sense
Of danger, and assumes a preternatu-
raj courage which knows not snd
fears not consequences. Then she
displays that undaunted spirit which
neither courts difficulties nor evades
them; that resignation which utters
neither murmur nor regret, and that
patience in suffering which seems VIC
torious ever over death itself.

some of the remnant Of the Creek

Home of the Drunkard.

A man who lived a drunken life
for about ten years, went from his al
ready miserable home one day, and
left the city on a spree. He was gone
four weeks, and on his return he
found that the landlord had turned
his family into the street for non-pay-
ment of rent. After considerable
difficulty he found that they had gone
to a back cellar in the upper part Of
the city. With fear and trembling
he approached the ~place--for he was
sober then. After winding his way
through a damp and narrow passage,
he discovered his family; he hid him
self in Il recess, and the scene which
he beheld sent a convulsive thrill
through his whole frame.
In n corner on a broken chair,
sat his much abused and almost heart
broken wife, his children clinging a.
round her; the first words that caught
his ear, were from his little girl, who
looked Plteously up in hi, wife's face,
and said
mother, I'm so hungry
]: pierced him to the heart. His
wife wept bltterly-while in another
corner, sat in solemn silence, his poor
old broken down mother.
'My son. said the wife, when the
weeping had subsidized so that she
could speak, my son. 90 to the cor
ner ask the grocer for Gods sake to
give us something to keep us from

His poor little bare.footed, half-nak-
ed and halfstarved son passed him,
and after Il short absence returned,
saying that the grocer refused 10 give
them anything. His wife arose al
most in despair, looked round, and
found some of the children's ragged
clothing. and sent the little boy to sell
them, which he did. and soon return
ed with three cents. The mother
stood some time, as if turning over
in her mind how she could make them
90 the fartheresi; at length she told
her son to get three cents worth OF
potatoes, and as he was entering with
them, the little girl exclaimed,
'Now we can have something to
eat can't we motherr
Reader. view not the above rs a
fiction; it is naked, solemn truth, re-
lated by the father himself, who is
