THE WAN REAPERs.

EMILY c. JUDsoN.
! came from a land where beautiful light
Slowly is creeping DER hilltop and vale,
Where broad is the field, and the harvest is white,
But the reapers are wasted and pale
All wasted and worn with their wearsome toll;
Still they pause not that brave little band,
Tho soon their lone pillows must be the strange soil
OF that distant and grave. dotted strand
For dangers uncounted are clustering there,
The pestence stalks uncontrolled,
Strange poisons borne on the soft languid air,
And Turk in each leafs fragrant fold.
There the rose never blooms on woman's wan cheek
But there's beautiful light in her eye,
And the smile she wears is so loving and meek,
None can doubt it comes down from the sky.
The strong man is bow d in his youths golden prime
But he cheerfully sings at his toll,
For he thinks of his sheaves, and the ganerng time
OF the glorious Lord of the soil.
And ever they turn, that brave, wan little band,
long, wistful gaze on the West
Do they come, do they come from that far distant land
That land of the lovely and blesl
Do they come, do they o, we're feeble & wan,
And we're passing like shadows away
But the harvest is white, and 10 yonder the dawn
For laborers-for laborers we pray

PEAS AND BEANs.-Almost every one is fond
of these vegetables, in their green state, and wo'd
doubtless be pleased to have them on the table oc.
casionally, as a rarity the year round. Many
however, are not aware that this is practicable
yet it is a well known fact that they may be pre-.
served through the winter, and, indeed till the
regular succession of seasons presents them again
green from the vines, as sweet and succulent as
when first plucked. All that is necessary to ac,
compish this is to take them when green and put
them in vessels filled with water sweetened with
sugar, boil moderately for ten or twelve minutes
and then remove them TO an oven moderately
warm, where they should remain till perfectly dry
They are then TO be bottled and corked tight
They may also be preserved by Smelling wher
green, and drying them carefully in the shade
without allowing them to mould. Germanot,ct

The clear water may then be turned off, and the

may be applied. We have never found any diff
