to the daily routine of existence, seemed positively to
be the only piece of information in the possession

OLD STYLE HYMNS. The following verses are
correct specimens of the hymns sung in Congregational
churches before the days of Dr. Watts and which
gradually made to give place to the hymns in use,
as the taste for harmony and beauty increased in our
churches The following verse should be deaconed off
and sung one line at a time
E'Tis like the precious ointment
Down Aarons beard did go:
Down Aaron's beard it downward went
His garment skirts unto.
Another sort of address to whales and other big
fish, as well as to tom,cods, founders scupi ellis and
other small fry;
eye monsters of the bub'lng deep,
Your Makers PRAISES spout;
Up from the sands We codlings peep,
And wag your tails about"
There is much truth if not poetry in the following;
''The race is not forever got
BY him who fastest runs;
Nor the battle by those people,
Who shoot with the longest guns
The following address to the Sun, chimes very well
with the preceding, although of more modern origin:
Gan hail thou glorious SUM-
Bright a tin panl
Thou roundest, faires, purest source
OF bread and cheese to man!'

A WoRD ABOUT GARDENING. No one can
be truly said to live who has not garden. None
but those who have enjoyed it can appreciate the
satsfaction-the luxury-of sitting down to a table
spread with the fruits of ones planting and cul
ture. A bunch of radishes-a few heads of lettuce
taken from the garden on a summers morning for
breakfast; mess of green peas or sweet corn, is
quite different affair from market in dying con-
dtion, to be put away in the cellar for use. And
plate of strawberries raspberres lose none of their
peculiar flavor by passing directly from the border
the cream without being jolted about in basket I'M
