PRESERVING WINTER APpLEs.

After picking in the fall, the apples should
be kept in some cool she'd until the weather
becomes SO cold as to render tbei. removal to
the cellar necessary, in order to keep them
from freezing for it is heat and moisture
that bastens their decay. Apples that are to
be kept long must be kept cool and dry a
cellar which has ice in one part Of it is desii
rable. We haye always found them to keep
best by having banging shelves for their re-
ception
4ao,her Node The following, judging
from experience, believe to be very eff.
cient mode Of keeping apples: They are to
be kept in chat. First put layerof ebaff
sprinklod with quickline over the bottom:
then layer Of apples, followed by another
stratum Of chaif' and lime, and SO on until the
cask is filed. In regard to this method the
editor Of the Genesee Farmer says; ut Is
well known to ali those who baye been 10 the
practice of buryine apples in heaps, that tie
fruit cpmes out in the spring much fresher
aud better favored than it does when sept in
open bins in the cellar IA part of the favor in
the latter case doubtless evaporatingF This
method has all the advantage Ct buyyipg with
another, which we will explain, When Ole
apple among many in bin tots. the adjlin.
itg ones are contaminated /; aud not unfre.
quently a mass. OF rottefiuess occurs, sur
rounded by much sound fruit Now the use
of the lime is to absorb the gases generated
hy the putreE'etion, and prevent such leare''
from spreading" %

FORGIVENESS.

BY JOHN cRIToHLEY PRINCE.
Man hath two attcndent angels
Ever waiting at his side,
With him whercsoeer he wanders,
Wheresoe'er his feet abide;
One TO warn him when he walketh,
And rebuke him if he stray;
One to leave him to lis nature,
And so let him go his way.
Two recording spirits, reading
All his life's minutest part,
Looking in his soul and listening
TO the beatings Of his heart.
Each, with pen of fire electric,
Writes the good or evil wrought
Writes withtruth, that adds not, errs not
Purposc-action-- wordand though
One, the Teacher and Keprover,
Marks each heaven deserving deed,
Graves it with the lightning's vigor,
Seals it with the lightning's speed;
For the good that man achieyeth-
Good beyond an angels doubt
Such remains for aye and ever,
And cannot be blotted out.
One isevere and silent watcher J
Notch every crime and guile, .
Writes it with holy duty,
Seals it not, but waits awhile; i
Ifthe evil doer cry not
''God forgive me - ere he sleeps,
Then the sad, stern spirit seals it,
And the gentler spirit weeps,
To the sinner if Repentance
Cometh soon with healing wings,
Then the dark account is cancelled,
And each joyful angel sings;
Whilst the erring one pereeiyeth-
Now his troubles hour is DER
Music, fragrance waited to him
From a yet untrodden Shore
Mild and mighty is Forgiveness,
Meekly worn, if meekly won
Let our hearts go forth to seek it
Ere the setting forth to seek it,
Angels wait and long to hear us
Ask it, ere the time be flown;
Let us give it, and receive it,
Ere the midnight cometh down!
