My father was anxious to send me to college, aud hcre- fore studied the grammar i'll could stand it no longer; and, going 10 my father, told him did not ike 10 study and asked for some other employ meut. It was opposing his wishes, and he was quick in his answer. "Well, John. if Latin gram mer does not sult you, try ditching; perhaps that will. My meadow. youadeF, wants ditch, and you may put by Latin. and try that" This seemed oeghtfui change. and 10 the meadow went, but soon found ditching harder thaA Latin. andthe first forenoon was the longest ever perienced. That day, ate the bread of labor, aud glad was when night came on That night made some comparisou between Latin grammar and ditch- ing. but said not word about it; dug next fore noon, and wanted to return to Latin al dinner, but it was humiiatng and could not do it. At nigh. toil conquered pride and though il was one o the ssveresl trials 1 had in my life, told my father that. if he chose, 1 would 70 back 10 Latin grammar. He Was glad Of il. and 1T l have since gained any distinctiou. il has been owing to the two days labor ia that sbcmissbie ditch.

A day two after this, upon going into my garden. iound the uarmint that had destroyed them, smashed their heads and repianted. But off they went again. l could kill the cut worms, but thai did not replace my plants. new idea then struck me. pnlled a lew hand iuls of clover, and laying small quantity at the base of each piant put thereon a chip. By this simple contrivsnee. 1 trapped the whole brood Of rascaIs. and saved my plants.
 The philosophy of the thing is this: That the cut worms prefers the green clover, which wili keep so for about week, under the chip. and every day or two you can hand the worms which collect there. tO the tender mereies of the old hen and chick ems. The tIoable of doing this is much less than replsnting. II. M. BAKER,.

 As the day of life declines; / When Old Age with ruthless rigor,
 Pioughs my face in farTowed lines: When the eye forgets it's seeing,
 And the hsni forge its skill: When the very words prove rebels
 To the Minds once kindly willg When the deaf ear, strained to listen, Scarcely hears the 0p ming word, And tn uniathomed depths of Feeling, Are by no swift current stirred; When fond Memory. like limneT;
 Many IiRe perspective casts, Spreading out our by-gone pleasure, On the canvas of the Past! When tfe leapipg blood grows sluggish, And the fire of Yoath bath fled When the friends which now surround us, Half are numbered with the dead When the years appear to shorten, Scarcely leaving us a trace; When old Time, with bold approaches, Marks the dials on my face! When our present hopes. all gathered, Lie like dead floweIs on our track; When the whole of our existence
 Is one fearful looking back; When each wasted houHoi talent
 Scarcely measured nov at all, Sends it's witness back D haunt us,
 Like the writing os the wall When the ready tongue s paliside,
 And the form is bowel with care; When our o1iy help is Heaven,
 And our only hope is prayer; When ihnIa krok tonad
