THE MAIDEN's PRAYER.

BIT JOHN @. WHITTIER.
She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper, breathed prayer,
Her snow white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling with the charms it hid,
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and snowy foot.
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like snow flake, white and mute:
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and matchless form,
And humbIy prayed to be forgiven.
o, God if souls unsoied as these,
Need daily mercy from Thy throne;
If she upon her Bonded knees
Our hottest and purest one;
She with face so pure and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light;
II she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
What far, far greater need have WEI
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven!

Oh! glorious is the Autumn day sszs
When on the forest bowers, ,-.. )
The saffron mellow sunlight, n as7o1- szs
It's noontide splendor showers;
On maple, birch, and tulip tree
& Such dyes and tintings glow,
We well might deem that Eden birds
Were lit on every bough se
Oh lovely is the Autumn eve!
When hues of parting day
Seem like cleaning angel wings
Shed over sweet decay
And wooded knoll and granite pile,
. Hill, stream, and winding shore,
With clouds of floating amber
Are softly curtain'd Ger. zs-
Oh solemn is the Autumn night!
When through the moonlit Dir,
The leaves from off their trembling hold
Go slowly-here and there
And ftful breezes wander
With a miserere moan, .s
As the dying breath of leaves and flowers
Were given in the tone!
Oh meet in Autumn It's to die!
/, too, would pass away,
When all bright things and beautiful
Yield to the spoilers sway;
And then I'd feel NM life, like theirs,
Unfailing, pure and true,
Soon, too, where dwells the Pleiad host,
To spring like light anew!

AGRICULTURAL.

Picking Eggs.-The Farmers danes
in some parts Of Hampshire, Eng, in their
notable endeavOus 10 turn every thing to
good account, have acquired much fame
for picking eggs, which, whilst they con-
sttute a somewhat novel feature in the
catalogue of condiments, are at the same
time particularly relishing. When eggs
are plenty, they take from four to six doz-
en- Ofsuch as are newly laid, and boil them
hard; then, divesting them Of the shells,
they place them in large mouthed earthen
jars, and pour upon them scalded vinegar,
well seasoned with whole pepper, alIspice,
ginger, and few cloves of garlic. When
the pickle is cold, the jars are closed, and
the eggs will be fit for use in month af-
forwards. The eggs thus treated are held
in high esteem by all the farm house cpl
cures in that part OF England.
Preservation Of Punepkins.-This Fall
let every farmer gather. as many OF his best
matured pumpkins as will suffice to supply
his stock with mess daily through the
winter, and deposite them carefully in a
close and secure reperatory, according to
the following snccinct, and definite rules !:
lst, lay stratum of butts of straw from
the threshing floor, one foot thick; on this
stratum depoSite another of pumpkins, and
cover them with another layer of straw,
and so on to the end of your heap.
In this way, pumpkins may be preserv-
ed most OF the year, as sweet and fresh as
when taken from the field. Try it, friends,
and not leave anything to be discovered by
accident, as is the case with experiments
in agriculture generalIy.-SeLected.
Iron It Remedy for Blight in Pear
Irees.-A correspondent states that he has
found iron ore, or cinders of iron, placed
around the roots of trees, drives away the
insect which deposites the eggs that pro-
duce the worm. Having tried this remedy
in sandy soil, and in a stiff soil and in
places distant from each other, and having
driven off the insect when the trees of 9th.
ers were very much injured or destroyed
in the neighborhood, he advises all those
who are troubled by these insects. to try
the use of iron, rather than be under the
necessity of continually topping off The
limbs which contain the worm or young
insect. He thinks it probable that the iron
is unfavorable to the worm, which drops
from the branches, and makes its winter
ing place at the root of the tree, and then
the insect avoids an unfavorabIe place fol
It's young. But whatever may be the theo-
ry, il is sufficient that iron has the desired
effect.-London Gardeners Gazette.
