THE FARMERS PLOUGH.


Clear the brown path to meet his eo1lters gleaml
Lol on he comes, behind his smoking team,
With tolls bright deW-drops on his snh-bunnt brow
The lord Of earth, the hero Of me PloW.
First in the aeld. before tho rsddenlne sun,
Last in the shadows when the day is done,
Line after line along the bursting sod,
Marks the broad acres where his feel have uoo;
StlI whore he treads the stubborn clods divide,
The smooth, fresh furrow OPENS deep and vide;
Matted and dense, the tangled turf upheaFes,
Mellow and daFE he ,'dgy eorniield eleaFes,
I'm the steep hi, gjEa where the labOring train
Slants the long & ck ttst scores ihe Level PLATA.
Through the moist valley, clogged win oozing clay,
The patient convoy breaks bis destined way
At every turn the Oosenlng chains Fesound,
The swinging nlowshare circles gliHening round,
Til the wide field one billowy waste appears
And wearied hands unbind the panllng steers.
T,,ese are the hands whose patient labor brings
The peasants food, the golden pomps oi kings
This is the page whose letters shall be seen,
Changed by the sun to words Of living greeni
This Is the scholar, whose immortal pen
Spells the first lesson hunger taught TO men,
These are the lines, oh! !heaven-cOmmanded toll,
That Oil the deed-the charter OF the soil!
Oh, gracious mother, whose benignant breast
Wakens US 10 life, and lulls US all 10 rest
How sweet the features, kind In every CLINE,
Mock with their smiles the wrinkled front orTime!
We stain the flowers, they blossom DER the dead;
We rend thy besOm aud il gives us bread;
O'er the red field that tramplng strife has torn,
Waves the green plumage Of thy tassled corn;
our maddening conflicts scar the iatrest plain;
Still thy soft answer is the growing grain.
Yet, oh, our mother, while uncounted charms
Round the fresh clasp Of thine embracing arms,
Let not our virtue in thy love decay,
Aud thy fond weakness waste our strength away.
10, by those hills, whose banners now displayed,
In blazing cohorts Autumn has arrayed;
by yon twin crest, amid the sinking sphere,
Last 10 dissolve, and first 10 reappear;
BY these fair plains the mountain circle screens,
And feeds in silence from its dark raynes;
True TO their homes these faithful shall toll,
To crown with peace their own untainted soil;
And, true TO God, TO Freedom, to Mankind,
II rher chained bondage Faction shall unbind,
These stately forms, that bending even now,
Bowed their strong manhood to the humble plow
Shall rise erect, the guardians of the land,
The same stern iron in the same right hand,
TIL GraylOck thuuders in the parting sun,
The sword has rescued what The plows have won.

"CAN'T AFBoRD IT" IA subscriber living
not hundred miles from this place, recently
called at our office and requested his paper to
be stopped on the plea that he could not afford
to pay for it. His wife and children, be said,
were very anxious TO take it, aud he liked the
paper himself; but then, he was too poor to
take it, aud We, OF course, erased his name.
From what We know of this individual, we
shall venture to guess that it costs him, at
least, 1913 ceuts per day for his liquor. This
will amount to S45, ,62b per annum. What a
sum expended for that which is worse than
useless! No wonder he could not afford to
pay two dollars per year for a newspaper
which his wife aud children were so anxious 10
read But the companion Of his life must be
denied heI favorite paper and his children

A CHAPLAIN's SToRY.--A clergyman who
was chaplain Of Little squadron stationed n
the Mediterranean for five years, related tht
following anecdote, which occurred during
that time:
The Commodore vas frank and generous
man, who treated me with marked attcntioni
and | used 70 preach in all the ships but one.
This was a small frigate. and the captain was
an irreligions and profane man. lie used 2
say he wanted no Methodist parson tor pilot
aud he embraced every opportunity Of annoy
ing me, Being person Of violent temper
he took offence zdd insulted the Commodore,
who meant to send him home. When heard
Of his intention, ! waited on the Commodore,
and said I was come 20 ask q particular favor
Of him.
'That shall be granted. am always hap
py % oblige you. What is itl"
That you win overlook the conduct Of
Captain S." said T..
"Nay, nay, you can { be seriOas. Is he not
your greatest enemy, aud | believe the only
man who does not wish to see you on board
this ship?"
"Fhats the very reason why ask the ia
vor. Commodore. must practice what l
preach. F"
"Well, we'll, it's an odd whim, but If, on
/ can grant your request without
prejudice to Ills Malesty's service, viii do
it."
The next day renewed my petition.
"Well," said he, ''if Captain s. will
make public apology, will overlook his con-
duct"
instantly got into boat and rowed to the
frigate. The captain met me with trown up
on his countenanee, but when told him my
business, saw tear in his eye, and taking
me by the hand, he said:
''Mr. -, really don't understand your
religion, but do understand your conduct
and thank yOu.'
The affair blew over, and he pressed me e
preach in his ship. The first time | weAi
there the crew were dressed in their bos
clothes, and the captain on my right handi
could hardly utter word, my mind was sc
much moved, and so were the whole crew. =
There seemed to be u more than ordinary So
lemnity among us.
That very night the ship disappeared, and
not soul survived to tell the tale. None eV-
or know it happened, but we supposed, as thert
had been gale of wind, she had foundereC
and went down in the deep water.
How cheering the thought that men thuI
suddenly summoned into eternity had listen
ed to the blessed message Of the Gospel, ant
that, too under circumstances, which, through
the blessings Of God, were peculiarly adapt
ed to prepare their minds to welcome and re
celVe it.

PREPARATION FOR DEATH.-When You lie
down at night. compose your spirits as if you
were not to awake till the heavens be no more.
And when You awake in the morning, consider
that new day as your last. and live according
ly. Surely that night cOmcth of which you
will never see the morning, or that morning
Of which you will never see the night, but
which of your mornings Or nights will be such
you know not. Let the mantle of worldly
enjoyment hang loosely about you, that it may
be easily dropped when death comes to carry
into % another erVS wprd oO5 When the corn
when the fruit is ripe, it falls Uff the tree
easily. So when Christians heart is truly
weaned from The world, he is prepared iol
| death, and it will be the more easy for him. A
| heart disengaged from the world is heavenl,
one; and then we are ready for heaven, whei
our heart is there before us.

" FULL DRESS REHEARsALs." Our Bes-
ton friends. under the stimulous Of simulta-
neous visits from Alboni and SOntag, and the
oDenine of a new concert-room, have got mp a
new ssinstitutiOnp called "Full Dress Rehear-
sals. They seem to be a sort of extra con-
cert given to the "dead heads Of the press,
the music sellers, the clergy and their fami-
lies; the audience sometimes numbering ma
nv hundreds. What the ''full dress refers
to we are not informed; but from the COM
mon interpretation Of the phrase, we presume
that the ladies 90 as little dressed as possible,
with lases, silks, satins, jewels and flowers;
the arms and necks exposed, and all the fas-
cinations Of the sex brought into conspicuous
display for conquest. The gentlemen at the
same time, must be in black dress coats and
pants; white vests, crayats and gloves, and
every mark Of business or drudgery carefully
oblitcrated. The presence Of the clergy
throws an odOr Of sanctity over the whole al
fair, and acts as bond OF reconciliation be-
tween the worldliness of the display and The
traditions Of the Puritan fOrefathers. Oh

THE DEAD. How little do we think Of the
dead! Their bones lie entombed in all oul
towns, villages, and neighbOrhOods. The
lands they have cultivated, the houses they
have built, the works of their hands are always
before our eyes. We travel the same road,
walk the same path, sit at the same fireside,
sleep in the same rooms, ride in the same car
riage, and dine at the same table, aud seldom
remember that those who once occupied these
places are now gone-alas! forever. Strange
that the fleeting cares of life should so soon
rush in and fill the breast, to the exclusion Of
those so near!
To-day man stands and weeps over the grave
of departed friend. Tomorrow he passes
that grave with cold indifference. To- day
his heart is wrung with all the bitterness
of anguish, for the loss OF one he so much
loved tomorrow, the image OF that friend
is effaced from his heart, aud almost for
gotten.
Oh how little do we think of the dead -
While we are in the full enjoyment of health,
We ought to contemplate the more upon
death.
What a wonderful commentary upon man.
