MARRIED LIFE.-" Deceive not one another
in small things or in great One little single lie
has before now disturbed whole married life.
A small cause has often great consequences
Fold not the arms together and sit idle" La
illness is the Devils cushion? Do not run much
from home Ones own healthis ofgold worth "
Many marriage, my friend, begins like a
rosy morning, and then falls away like snow
wreath. And why, my friends! Because the
married pair neglect to be as well pleasing to
each other after marriage as before. Endeavor
always, my children, to please one another; but
at the same time keep God in all your thoughts.
Lavish not all your love on to-day, for remember
that marriage has its tomorrow, likewise and its
day after tomorrow, too. "Spare, as one may
say, fuel for the winter"
" Consider, my daughters what the word wJc
expresses The married woman is her husband S
domestic faith; in her hands he must conhde
house and family; be able to entrust to her the
key of his heart as we'll as the key of his eating
ROOM His honor and his home are under her
keeping, his well-being is in her hands, Think
of this!
And you, my sons, be faithful husbands and
good fathers of families Act so that your wives
shall esteem and love you. "--Frederika Bremen.

CHANGE OF WORLDS,
BY REV. J. N. MAFFIT.

BY Kew j, N, MAFFIT.
Though walk thro' the gloomy vale,
Where death and all its terrors are,
My heart and hope shall never fail,
For God my shepherds with me there"
The shafts of death fall thick around us, and
this charming world, like the field of strife, is
strewn with the dead and dying, The mourners
go about the streets; they follow the young, the
lovely, the beautiful, the good, to their long home
the silent grave. The mournful knell chimes TO
their measured pace, and mnges its sepulchral
tone with the burst of sorrow.
But in all the circumstances of wo, attendant on
the departure of those we love from the busy
Of life, there is 10 the Christian much consolation,
when he feels assured that they had witnessed a
good confession. Seeing they have escaped the
storms and pillows of life's tempesuous sea, and
conscious that they are safe in the port of endless
bliss, where the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are forever at rest we feel resigned
knowing that our loss is their infinite gain. Indeed
we rejoice rather than mourn; for truly our sepe-
ration will be very short one, and our meeting
with happy connexions, 0 how ioyful Then shall
we breathe our native air, and taste The fruit oil

PREPARATION OF LAND.


Next in importance to-manuring land literally,
is to pulverze it thoroughly. Let no haste to des-
patch your spring work prevent you giving your
land a faithful plowng narrowing, and flor grass
or grain, faithful rolling Your success with
your crops depends in a material degree on these
conditions in the preparatory treatment of the soil
lfyour ground intended for crops this spring was
plowed last summer, it will need less preparation
than if the case were otherwise; still, it should be
thoroughly stirred and powdered before putting in
the seed.
When you do plow, by all means plow deep
Harrow both ways, and let the roller follow. If
you have never pursued these practices heretofore,
try them now, and we predict that you will never
be disposed to abandon them hereafter. Do not
disrust the utility of these measures without Civ
ing them trial
The benefits that result from deep stirring and
puIverzaton of the soil, and from the use of the
roller, have been, comparatively, but little apprec-
ated, because little was known from actual expe-
rience. Lumps of soil, or soil and manure, may
lie in the soil inert from the time of preparing the
land for the crop, till the time of harvesting the
product, whereas if a little pains were taken to
pulverse them, they would contribute to the sus-
tenance of the crop, or by chemical action to the
Improvement of the soil
If you intend to set out an orchard this spring,
you could not do better thing to ensure its sue
cess and promote your interest, than to subsoiI
pillow the land where the tees are to Standard
we would also strongly recommend the same ope-
ration OIL all other land intended for crops The
concurrent testimony which Is borne in favor of
the subsoil pillow by all who have tested its merits,
render the recommendation of its use perfectly
safe Experience with it has fully confirmed what

THE QUAKER's REPRooF. A few days ago,
sailor on one of the wharves was swearing very
boisterously, when one of the Society of Friends
passing along accosted him very pleasantly, and
urged him to continue the exercise. lie said,
swear away friend, swear away, till thee gets all
of that bad stuff out Of thee, for thee can never

BEEs.-Dr Waterman gives in the Cleveland
Herald, his mode of catching the bee-miller or
moth. He says, 4 took two white dishes, I think
white attracts their attention in the night, )or deep
plates, and placed them on the top of the hives,
and filled them about half full of sweetened vine
gar. The next morning l had about fifty millers
caught; the second night caught fifty more;
the third night being cold ! did not catch any;
the fourth night being very warm, [ caught a.
bout four hundred: the fifth night l got two
hundred. Most of these were most likely bee
moths"

THE UPRIGHT BUSINESS MAN

THE UPRIGHT BUSINESS MAN.
An eloquent writer somewhere says So" There
is no being in the world for whom feel higher
moral respect and admiration, than for the upright
man of business No-not for the philanthropist,
the missionary, or the martyr. feel that could
more easily be martyr, than man of that lofty
moral uprightness. Aud let me say, yet more dis
tinctly, that it is not for the generous man feel
that kind of respect Generosity seems to me a
low quaIity-a mera impulse-compared with the
lofty virtue speak of. 1t is not for the man who
distributes extensive charities who bestows mag
nifcent donatious.-That may be very we'll
speak not to disparage it; wish there were more
of it, yet it may exist with want Of the true, of-
ty, unbondng uprightness, That is not the man
then, of whom Espeak; but it is he who stands a
midst ali the exigences oftrade firm, calm, disin-
tercsed and upright. 1t is a man whose mind, his
own advantage does not blind nor cloud for au in
stant, who could sit as Judge upon question be-
tween himself and his neighbor, just as safely as
the purest magistrate upon the bench ofjustice.-
All how much richer than ermne--how far no
bier than the train of magsterial authority, how
more awful than the guarded pomp Of majestic
TRUTH Yes, it is the man who is true-true &c
himself his neighbor, and his Con; true 10 his
righs, true to his conscience, & who feels that the
slightest suggestion of that conscience is more tc
bin than the chance Of acquiring hundred es

GALVANISM.

Place sheet of copper on the ground, at one
end of row fpotatoes, just planted, and a sheet
of zinc at the other end; connect them by a wire,
and let the moisture of the ground complete the
gaIvanio circuit. What is the result? The lite
ofthe germs is greatly quckened, and you will
have potatoes in that row two inches and half in
diameter, when the potatoes in other rows beyond
its influence are scarcely larger than marrow-fat
peas.
Can any thing look more improbable, viewed a.
part from actual experiments? Two pieces Of
metal, connected by copper wire, developing an
influence that raises the power of vegetable life

"BEARING PRECIOUS sEDE. -

have heard, says one in substance, of seeds
which will sleep in the earth for ages, and have
read of the young of certain insects which lie in a
state like death for eighty years together, add yet
when the hand that scattered the seed has leen
long mingled with The dust, and when the insect
that has deposited lis young had ended its flight
for generations, the seed would come forth and
from forest of mighty trees, and the sIumbering
insect would awake to life, and become the moth
err ofan endless multitude. And so ii may be with
u.s. We are scattering the seeds of knowledge,
virtue pety, and Immortality, but we may not
see the seed at once spring forth. Our instruct
ions may seem to be forgotten; the fruits of our
literally may seem to have persisted; and our la
bors to have been vain. But no, the seed is still
undecayed, and the time will come when it shall
spring forth, and yield glorious harvest. And
he that soweth ard he that reapelh shall rejoice
together.

Charity is Il universal duty, which it is in every
mans power sometimes to practice, since every
degree of assistance given to another upon proper
motives is an act of charity: and there is scarcely
any such state of imbecility, that he may not on
some occasion benefit his neighbor. He that can
not relieve the poor, may instruct the ignorant;
and he that cannot attend the sick, may reclaim
the vicious He that can give little assistance
himself, may yet perform the duty of charity by
infaming the ardor of Others, and Recommending
the petitions he cannot grant to those who have
more to bestow The widow that shall give her
mite to the treasury the poor that shall give
to the thirsty cup of cold water shall not lose
their reward. Doct johnson.

THE FIRE 4 M AN.
From the Liberty Bell
TO THE MARTYRS FOR FREEDOM.
a free translation from The German Of It. G.
Saks.
BY ELIZA LEE POLLEN.



Still trust, all We who are oppressed
Though Hope no ray of light may shed;
Garlands of sacrifice, aye rest
On diving Virtues martyr head:
Though Glory's tinsel crown may be
Awhile the lucky villains prize,
Yet sprngirg from your graves, we see
The amaranth wreath that never dies.
We who in evil times were born!
Ye who have dared to strive with power!
Ye shall be heralds of the dawn,
But We must know the darkest hour,
Ye who your lives have nobly spent,
From sin ana woe yoHr race TO save,
The ruin you could not prevent
Shall shed glory round your grave
Then do we feel FateS iron might,
When the blasphemous plot succeeds;
When on pure honor, simple right,
The brood of human vipers feeds
o, still sereney trust-e'en then,
Though reptiles hiss, foul vapors rise;
The light that rises from the fen
Deceitful shines and quickly dies.
In the cloud-te of distant skies,
Truth calmly waits, with balance true,
Cast off trddltlonary lies,
And gives to justice homage due.
Reason proclams eternal laws;
Mad mobs and tyrants, in their hour
Aye, for whole ayes hurt her cause,
But never can destroy her power,
When for the rights Of man you fight,
And all seems lost, and friends have fed,
Remember, in lnsfortuue's night,
New ,glories rest on Virtues head;
Duty remains, though joy il gone;
On final good then fix thine eyes; ...
Disdain all fear, and though alone,
Stand ready for the sacrifice.
Though every bark fpromse sink,
And hopes last broken fragments fall,
And you that mystic cup must drink,
Which cures all pain, which comes to alt;
Yet Justice banished, hated, slain,
Is with You in the holy strife
Says to your soul, We meet again.
And promises eternal life
Freed from its dust, from that great hour
Your spirit, on the noble band,
Acts with new, immortal power,
Inspires each heart, and nerves each hand.
For time and truth then calmly wait,
Ye who for human rights contend:
Oppression has transient date,
Eternal Justice has no end.

These hues so beautiful and bland,
Are carnations from above,
And pCnctlled by his skilful hand.
What is love- Ask yon glorious star
Why shinCth ii with beams SO bright,
And from its blue home ings dfar
The silver splendOr of the night
The star replies; The light have
Is borrowed from the only One,
Who's purely bright. A look he gave
That look bchOlds me now sun.
What is love? Ask TIE dcws of morn
Why they impeail The mountain gem,

Tell that they are in kindness given.
Their home is the unfdthOmed sky,
And that they fall di"cct from Heaven,

And when he would our passions bind,
He pours his treasures from above,
And there directs the willing mind.
