4 GRECIAN BURIAL. When n soul de-

sorrow for the survivors only. As for the
dead, they count him in all things conquer

brow, and in his hand, the palm of victory
i hey uncover the face, that all may see what
majesty of most serene repose Is stamped
thereon, and they sing a hymn of thanksgiv-
ing as they bear him away TO his rest L re-
member when they buried that bright eyed
Greek maiden, snatched suddenly from earth,
when her young heart was light as her face
was fair. they arrayea her, so rigid and mo-
tioncss, in the gay dress she had never worn
but for some great fete or gala, as though this
more than any were a day ofrejoicing for her;
and thus attired, with her long hair spread out
over her still bosom, all decked with flowers,
they laid her uncoffined in her grave. AT her
feet they placed small flask of wine and a
basket of corn. in accordance with an ancient
Greek superstition, which supposes that for
three days and nights the disembodied spirit
fingers mournfully round its tenement of clay,
the garment of its mortality, wherein as a pill
grim and q stranger on the earth, it lived and
loved. it sinned and suffered. As soon as the
first symptom of decay announces that the
curse Of corruption is at work, thew believe the
purer essence departs to purer realms. Be

manner is tonic; when carried farther, and
applied in a different manner,it is facilitating
1t is tonic in the first case because it excites
the system to reaction, it is debilitant in the
other, because it overpowers the reactIve en-
ergy. 1t acts in both cases through the skin.
When applied too long, or at an improper
time, it suppresses for time g. debilitates per-
mannetly the cutaneous functions driving the
blood upon internal organs, and imparing the
vigor of the circulation and the powers of life
generally.
On the other hand, when applied for a short
time and under proper circumstances, it invig-
CRATES the system by stimulating TO healthy
reaction whereby the blood is impelled to the
surface. In this way it becomes the most val
liable of tonics. Now to avoid altogether the
action of this agent would compel degree of
confinement that must still further impair the
already debiitated system ola scrofulous per-
son, and such perpetual care would be neccs-
sary as would render life useless burden. The
better way is to enable the system to resist
cold;-instead of warming the outside of the
body, let the internal fire be kept up, so Wig
orous and well supplied with fuel that no com
mon external influences shall extinguish or
impair 1.-THE proper course is, in addition
to other inyigorating measures, to accuStom
the system, under favorable circumstance, and
with proper guard, to the variations of temper
AZURE, and thereby to fortify it against the Vi
cissitudes of weather and circumstances

THE CROW.

| The husbandman, or farmer, is often uncon-
ciouS of the good these industrious birds do for
him at all seasons, except only in long con-
! tinued drought, VIXEN the insects descend into
the earth, and when its surface becomes so
hard as to defy the effort Of the rocks TO dig
the larvn out. At such times indeed, when
| their natural instincts are neutrahzed, al d
| when hunger Graves, they Will in troops fall
| upon a field Of wheat or barley Just npening,
and where thcy will do considerable damage
if not scared on by sentinel with his racket,
or by hanging rags, dipped in melted hrinI-
stone. OIL sticks about the field. But the f,r-
mer is unwilling, for this their thieyish crime
to agree that they are otherwise seryiccablc to
| him. because he can see where the rocks have
been at work single plants Of wheat or grass
| actually pulled ont Of the ground, which to him
appears another unpartloEahle offence. But
II he would examine such dcprcdations CLOSELY,
he would find that the bird had only pulled up
n sickly plant, TO reach the grub that was feast
ing on It's roots and which, bu: for the rock.
would lave disrooted many more. The iaini-
err knows well the injury he suffers fIcm the
wire worm, an insect more or less plentiful in
every season, especially in old leas when new
" broken up. Now the larvae OF this beetle,
together with those Of all the chaferz, are, in
he estimation Of the rock, the sweetest NOR
sels he can meet With; and, led by his keen
sense of scent he will dig them out ofthe ground
though an inch or two below the surface
And as the question concerning the good or
bad properties of the rock to the farmers is
very differently believed let any one who has
doubts shoot, or have one shot for him, when
the bird is on his way home from the feeding
ground. Let him open the provision pouch
and look at the contents; this he will find con-
sists entirely of the larve of inse, =, which are
bred and fed on the roots of plants in the
ground. In this great and good service the
rock is assisted by the jackdaw and startling,
which are almost always seen associated on
places where grubs abound.-Ihe Rural Cy-

The Pike We believe, is not indigenous to our
waters, and perhaps a brief account of "whar

Thompson, in his natural history Of Vermont,
says that the "Esox estor,T or common Pike, sis

TIE FRUITS OF GOOD TILLAGE.

We remember to have read somewhere. Of an
cd gentleman who owned n large vineyard Be
sides this farm, he was blessed with Two daueh-
tiers. On the marriage Of the eldest. he ortioued
her of with one third of his farm and behold the
remaining acres produced quite as much fruit and
wine as before. soon after he married his vOung
rst daughter, and gaze her an equal Dc wry with
the first and still the remaining third Of his soil
yielded much rs his entire original plantation.
Good farmers viii see no mystery in ills. The
moral Of the story is, that his farm became
smaller. he cultivated II more and the same a.
mount of labor upon 4 few acres. will make the IN
produce the fruit of many.
There is Il great difference between tilIaee and
good tllage. Some flrmerS--no. cartlI-scrapcrs,

their seed hap-hazard, trust 10 the chance of the

tampcrcrs have to scratch hard for n living. We
have heard many complain that large farms did
not pay the expense Of their cutiyatiou-The
earth was, therefore, lazily scratched up sufficient

PRESERVING BUTTER. The farmers in the par
practice the following method Of curing their but
ter which gives it great superiority over that of
their neighborS:
Take two parts of the hest common salt, one
part Of sugar and part of saltpetre take one
ounce of this composition for sixteen ounces Of
butter work it well into the mass and close it up
for use. The butter with this mixture appears
of Il rich marrowy cOHsiStencc. and fine color and
never acquires brittle hardness nor tastes salty.
Or. Anderson saws u have ate batter cured with
the above compos ition, that has been kept three
years, and it was rs sweet as at first But it
must be noted that butter Thus cured requires to
stand three weeks or a month before it is begun
TO be used if il be sooner opened, the salts are
not sufficiently blended with it and sometimes
the coolness Of the nitre VIII then be perceived,
which totally disappears afterwards.

EHNEsTINE DE BARENTE RosE.-This
is one of the new French roses, and is in
deed beautiful little flower, very regu-

much resembling fine double ranunculus.
Its size is scarcely larger than a quarter
dollar, and its color is bright pink.
With its delicate, small, dark foliage, good
habit, perfect hardness, and abundant
blooming qualities, it forms one ofthe most
desirable little floral gems we know.

LOVE.

l have no joys but in thy smile,
Save in thy frown, no pain,
Come to my side little while
I'll never ask again.
To see thee, and thy looks to bless
To hear thee, and thy words adore,
never dreamed gilmore than this
III dream of this no more.
If l could bid my heart be still,
OF what avail were this
Twill never cost thine own thrill
OF anguish or of bliss;
Twill follow thee through life and death,
True guardian by thy side,
Yet never ask a single breath
OF fondness for its guide
Come to my side a little while
I'll never ask again;
Ny heart is sick for one sweet smile
Hearts should not plead in vain
All. but thine eyes are filed with tears
They do not turn away;
Thy hand-thy hand-the love Of years
Has not been all astray.

EARLYPOTATOES.

The earliest period al which the ost is out Of the
ground, and it can be properly ploughed and pull
verified. is the right time to plant early potatoes.
Before being planted, the seed potatoes should be
cut into sets and then dried either in ashes, lime
or plaster. If this be done q week or two before
being planted so much the better. The ground
should be literally manured and thoroughly pull
verified. 1t might be well to spread lime over the
manure in the drills before covering up the pota-
toe sets. We do not recommend lime as a pand-
for the rot or anything else connected with the
disease of potatoes, but purely because it is an ex
ccllent manure-for we eschew all specifics for
