By CARRIE T. n.

The twilight shades were slowly gathering rouud'
Aud hushed in sslcmn silence was each sounO'
Save the soft murmuring Of the distant nn'
The plantive cry of the sad whip-poor-~N'
And the low rustling of the forest trees
Which. gently swayed by the cool evening oreeSe
Lsaned towards esch other, and in accents low,
Spoke. each to each, Of scenes passed long ago.
All! said I, there was heard no other sound
A low. sweet voice filed the dim woods around,
FOR, meekly kneeIing in the greenwood thsre'
Three childish little forms were seen at prayer.
These little friends had wandered cut to play,
And, having passed in sport the iive-long day,
They sat them down beneath u tree to rest
Until the sun had sunk far in the west,
And the pale moon, in her "sweet silvcry Car"
Slow rising DER the trees sFar,
While each bright star peered through its misty veil,
And joined its radiance with the moonlight pale,
Then quickly rising from their messy seat,
To take their honewsrd way they sought the street,
But sought in vain-no trace could now be found
With eager haste they wandered DER the grouho'
Fearing to start, lest, taking the wrong ROAD
Dark night should overtake them in the lonely wood
At last the younger two, with fearful eyes,
Sat down, but Willie looking toward the skies,
Said. " Let US pray unto the Lord so good,
He, surely bring US from this darEsome wood"
In glorious majesty the moon rides on
Yet pauses for q time to look upon
The lovely scene which meets her wandering gaze,
With heads uncovered meath her silvcry rays,
Hands meekly folded DER the heaving breast
With simple, child-ike fath they offer their request,
The trees with reverance their branches droop,
The stars look lovingly upon the little group.
flushed is the music Of the murmuring r,
And cen the plantive song Of whp-poor-Tin,"
With faces turned toward the blue sky above
The children pray unto the God Of love,
Father, will thou not send angel down
To guide thy little children safely home ~
Then rising to his feet with sudden thought,
The elder boy the nearest oak tree sought,
And mounting high with eager gaze looked down,
There, bathed in moonlight lay the quiet town
Now certain Of their way they onward press;
The weary distance rapidly grows less,
Until they reach their wished for homes once more,
AID meet their anxious parents at the door.
Did not the Lori tie childrea's prayer attend
And did he not to them angel send 3!
All, yes for he who heeds the sparrow's fall,
viii he not list, cen TO an infants call,
And to the prayer Of faith an answer send
Yes on His word we surely may depend
Who saith" If on my name ye vii! believe,

The fact is, their husbands never remain long

There is something very ETHEREAL in the
passion of young luvyers.' How strikingly
is this evinced in the case of young Abcrlard,
who begged his mistress not to sand her letters
as it took away the ecstacy of enjoyment in
kissing them. Poor fellow, he got the sand
in his teeth.

PLEASURES OF CoNTENTMENT.--l have a
rich neighbor that is always so busy that he
has no leisure to laugh; the whole business
of his life is to get money, more money,
that he may still get more money and more
money. He is still drudging, saying what
Solomon says: "The diligent hand maketh
rich" And it is true, indeed but he con-
siders not that it is not III the power of
riches to make man happy; for it was
wisely said by man of great observation,
that there be as many miseries beyond rich
es as on this side of them" And yet heaven
deliver us from pinching poverty, and grant
that, having competency, we may be con-
tent and thankful Let us not repine, or so
much as think the gifts of God unequally
dealt, if we see another abound in riches,
when, as God knows, the cares that are the
keys that keep those riches hang often so
heavily at the rich mans girdle, that they
clog him with weary days and restless
nights, even when others sleep quietly. We
see but the outside of the rich mans happi-
ness; few consider him to be like the silk
worm, that when she seems to play, is at
the same time spinning her own bowels, and
consuming herself. And this many rich
men do, loading themselves with corroding
cares to keep what they have already GOT
Let us, therefore, be thankful for health
and competence, and, above all, for quiet
conscience Izaak Walton.

"But, Squire, these country papers prove

TALLow AND LARD.-It appears from a
business circular of Sawyer, Wallace & Co.,
N. Y, that the imports of tallow last year
into England from Russia amounted to 95,
100000 lbs, being u per cent. of the entire
imports from all countries. and equivalent to
about $50, 900 barrels and tierces of lard. The
present war must of course cut off all trade
between the two belligerent powers, Russia
and England Tallow has already conse-
quently gone up to very high price, and in
view thereof lard--American lard--will have
to be sustituted to a considerable extent, as
it has been heretofore under the scarcity and
high price of tallow. 1t would require not
less than 100000 hogs to produce the large
quanty of 100000 barrels and tierces of
lard and this is nearly double the entire
products of this country for commercial
purposes. 1t appears that England derives
from Russia 70 per cent. of linseed and
flaxseed for oil purposes; and nearly equal
in quantity to tallow. What is likely to
be the true value Of these articles in our
markets in view Of these facts, those con-
versant with the trade are best able to
judge.
