ADDRESS TO GRAY HAIR.
From Harper's Monthly Magazine.

Thou silvery braid, now banded DER my brow,
Before thy monitory voice bow;
Obedient to thy mandate, youth forget,
And strive thy word to hear without regret.
Why should regret attend that onward change,
Which tells that time is coming TO its range
Its border line, which God approves and seals,
As crown Of glory to the man who feels
Content in ways Of righteousness to dwell
To such gray hair does not of weakness tell;
But rays of glory light its silvery tint
And change its summons to gentle hint
That time from all is fading fast away
But that TO some its end is lasting day;
And that the angels view its pure white band,
AS seal of glory, from their masters hand,
And closer draw, the near ripe fruit to shield,
Until to Heaven its produce they can yield.

SILENcE.-What a strange power there is in
silence! How many resolutions are formed
how many sublime conquests effected during
that pause, when the lips are closed, and the
soul secretly feels the eye of her maker upon
her! When some Of those cutting, sharp,
blighting words have been spoken which send
the hot indignant blood to the face and head,
if those to whom they are addressed keep ST.
lence, look on with awe, for mighty work is
going on within them, and the spirit of evil, or
their guardian angel, is very near to them, in
that hour. During that pause they have made
step toward heaven or hell, and an item has
been scored in the book which the day of judg-
nent shall see opened. They are strong ones
of earth, the mighty food for good or evil, those
who know how to keep silence when it is pain
and grief to them; those who give time to
their own souls, to wax strong against tempta-
ton; or to the powers of wrath, to stamp up
on them their whitening passage.

EARLY RISING.
BY HERRICK.

Did you but know, when bathed in dew,
How sweet the little violet grew,
Amidst the thOrny brake;
How fragrant blew the ambient air,
Ger beds of primroses so fair,
Your pillow you'd forsake.
Paler than the autumnal leaf,
Or the wan hue Of pining grief,
The cheek of sloth shall grow;
Nor cosmetic, wash, or ball,
Natures own favorite tints recall,
If once you let them go.

RUST ON WHEAT.

Since you have given general invitation To
one and all, TO contribute their mite will ven
ture to ask few questions concerning rust on
wheat, and give my own opinion on the subject.
In the first place, if rust is parasitic plant, or
fungus, that grows out of the earth, or atmos-
phere, or is produced from both, and feeds on
vegetable NATTER why does it attack field of
wheat IN the following manner, viz /: in small
sections, spot here and another there, leaving
the straw in its immediate vicinity untouched
II it is floating substance, that floats about in
the air and feeds upon the plants that it comes
IN contact with, it certainly would not pitch
down in spots upon a field Of wheat, of few
feet in circumference, and leave the rest of the
field untouched For instance, on heavy tim.
bered land, wheat is often rusted in Just such
spots as have described. Wherever the log
heaps were burned, there the wheat grows more
rapidly than il does elsewhere, and, as gener.
al thing, the straw is more or less rusted, while
that Immediately adjoining those spots is per-
fectly bright, the berry plump and good, while
on the rusted spots, the wheat il nominaly good
for nothing. In all soils, where there is sur
plus of vegetable mould, there is almost, in ev-
cry instance, a deficiency of lime, sand, potash
&C., which are very essential elements of the
wheat plant Now, will venture to give my
opinion upon the subject. IT has been asserted
that rust was never seen except in connection
with honey dew, from which am candidly con-
strained to dissent. | venture to say, that rust
is seldom, if ever, seen, except in connection
with hot, showery, sultry weather, such being
exactly the kind to produce rust in all such land
as have described. Where there is an excess
of vegetable mould, the straw will shoot forth
very rapidly in hot showery weather. and there
being lack of mineral substances, to give the
straw sufficient coating of glaze to prevent
checking, by being exposed to the burning rays
of the sun, the straw puts forth very rapidly, is
expanded to its fullest extent, is very tender,
and when exposed to the burning heat of the
sum- it must shrink as rapidly as it expanded
the outside drying faster than the inside it must
necessarily check the outside, and what is the
result? In my estimation, it is this that Juice
or sap, oozes out and dries on to the straw, for
ming what is called rust. Now mark, it has
been asserted in former number of the Far
mer, by one of your worthy correspondents,
that rust was never found under the husk, and
venture to say that the very thing that pre-
vents it from rustng is that very husk, that pre-
vents the heat of the burning sun from COM
ing Immediately in contact with it !; for on the
outside of the husk that shields the stalk, you
will find plenty of rust. | think that the
grounds that your worry correspondent has Ia
ken, so far as it regards rust never being found
under the husk. are exactly in keeping with my
theory and fully corroborate the grounds that
have taken. Cor. Mich. Farmer
