LITTLE GRAvEs.-Sacred places for pure
thoughts and holy meditation, are the little
graves in the chnrch-yard. They are the
repositories Of the mothers sweetest joys.
half uDfoIded buds Of innocence, humanity
nipt by the first frost Of time, ere yet sim
gle cankerworm of pollution had nestled
among its embryo petals. Callous, indeed,
must be the heart of him who can stand by
little grave-side and not have the hottest
emotions Of his soul awakened to the
thoughts of that purity and JOY which be-
long alone to God and Heaven for the
mute preacher at his feet tells him of life
begun and life ended, without a stain: and
surely if this be vouchsafed to mortality,
how much purer and holier must be the
spiritual land, enlightened by the sun of In
finite Goodness, whence emanated the soul
of that brief young sojourner among us
How swells the heart of the parent, with
mournful joy, while standing by the cold
earth bed of los, little ones! Mournful be-
cause sweet treasure is taken away oyful,
because that precious jewel glitlers in the

"Why," it is often petulan,ly asked
"Whv, if the issues of the presen, life are Of
infinite extent, why are we so much restrict
ed in our knowledge of the future world !?
Why is it only vague repor, Of the awful
fulurity that reaches the ear Of man Why
is not the curtain Of the invisible world
sometimes lifted - We do not undertake
to furnish what might be the most direct
reply to such question; but we may with
confidence give reply which we hold to
be sufficient.
If the present life be indeed a season Of
moral discipline, and an exercise of those
affections which are, in their nature, Of a
tranquil order, then undoubtedly must the
mind be screened, during the season Of this
exercise, from the impulses of impressions
which would at once overwhelm them.
You say, "Let me see the invisible lift the
curtain of the grave" But would you risk
the consequences of such discovery, even
as it might affect the physical structure Of
the mind? Certainly the disciple of the
heart, after, such revelation, would not be
what it now is. By the mere guidance of
our moral sentlments-our habitual emo
tons: we are TO make our choice. on try ing
occasions between virtue and vice, but
this choice would obey another and very
different law, if we had actually seen the
one IN It's native eternally wed
to happiness; and the other in the grasp of
misery.

DEATH.-"The rich is not protected for
favor, nor The poor for pity; the old man
is not reverenced for his age, nor the infant
regarded for his tenderness; youth and
beauty, learning and prudence, wit and
strength, lie down equally IN the dishonors
of the grave. All men, and all natures, and
all persons resists the addresses and solem-
mites of death, and strive to preserve mi
SCRABBLE and unpleasant life and yet they all
sink down and die For so have seen the
pillars of building assisted with artificial
props, bending under the pressure of roof,
and perinaci"usly resisting The infalIble
and prepared ruin, 'tiIl the determined day
comes, and then The burden sunk upon the
pillars, and disordered The aids and auxiliary
rallers into a common ruin and ruder grave:
SO are the desires and weak arts of man
with li.tle aids and assstances of care and
physic, we strive to support our decaying
bodies, and to put off the evil day; bu,
quickly that day will come, and then neither
angels nor men can rescue us from our
grave; but the roof sinks down upon the
ton and the beauty Of the face, and the dis
honors of the belly, the discerning head
and the servile feet, the thinking heart and
the working hand, shall be crushed into the
confusion of heap, and dwell with creatures
Of an equivocal production, with worms and

bones, in house of dirt and darkness"

GATEs.-Good gates are great convent

BILE of sustaining the weight without DANCE

it costs more to construct and hang good

GOOD ANlMALs:-Never keep poor or

Gated to the rest of your stock. The judi
cious Culley, has truly remarked that, "of
all animals Of whatever kind, those with the
smallest and cleanesl bones are generally
the best proporsioned, covered with the best
and finest grained meat; they are the har-
diest, heallhiest, and best feeders, able to

SALT FOR Mich Cows.-When cows in
milk are kept on green succuIent food, they
require regular and liberal supply Of salt.
SO, also, when cattle are first turned to pas
lure in the spring, they require sailing more
frequently than in the latter part Of The sea-
son when the heritage is less succulent and
fresh. It's often the case that animals taken
from dry food, andappIied exclusively with
green fermenlable heritage, are greatly de-
biitaled by "scours." Salt, in due quantity
is certain preventive of this malady. On
first going 10 grass, cows should have one
pint of Indian meal each. per day, and this
should be continued for week or so, and
then not stopped suddenly, but gradually.
