Robie Rawlin, frosts were falling,
When the rangers horn was calling,
Through the woods of Canada;
Gone the winters sleet and showing,
Gone the spring lines bud and blowing,
Gone the summers harvest moving,
And again the fields are gay;
Yet away, he's away;
Faint and fainter hope is growing,
In the hearts that mourn his stay.
"Martha Mason, Martha Mason.
Prithee tell US what's the reason
That you NOPE at home to-day;
Surely smiling is Dot SHINING;
Leave your quilting, leave your spinning,
What is all your store of linen,
If your hearl is never gay;
Come away, come away!
Never yet did sad beginning
Make the end Of life playr'
Overbending, till she's blending
With the fiaxen skein she's tending,
Pale brown tresses smoothed away
From her face Of patient sorrow,
Sits she, seeking but to borrow,
From the trembling hope of morrow,
Soace for the weary day.
Go your way, laugh and play;
Unto him who heeds the sparrow
And the lily, let me pray"
with our rally, rings the valley
Join US :" cried the blue-eyed Nelly;
Join u.s.! cried the laughing May,
To the beach we all are going,
And to save the task of rowing,
West by north the wind is blowing,
Blowing brisk!y down the bay!
Come away, come away.
Time and tide are swiftly flowing,
Let US take them while we may!
"Never tell US that you'll fail Us,
Where the purple beach-plum mellows
On the bluffs so wild and gay.
Hasten, for the oars are falling;
Hark, our merry mates are calling;
Time il is that we were all in,
Singing tldeward down the bay!"
"Nay, nav, let me stay;
Sore and sad for Robie Rawlin,
Is my heart" she said, "to-day!"
vain your calling for Rob Rawln,
Some red squaw his moose meats broiing,
Or some French lass. sirging gay;
Just forget as he's forgetting;
What's the use of always fretling:
If some stars must needs be setting.
Others rise as good as they !"
Cease. pray; go your way"
Martha cries, her eye-llds wetting;
Foul and false the words you say!"
"Martha Mason, hear to reason,
Prthee put kinder face on: -
Cease to vex met" did she say.
"Spake you true instead of lying,
If knew the pines were sighing,
Der his grave, and wild birds crying,
|, as now, would say you nay.
But away, far away,
Turns my heart, forever trying
Some new hope for each new day.
When the shadows hide the meadows,
And the sunsets golden ladders
Climb the twilighl's walls Of gray.
FROM the window of my dreaming.
| can see his frelock cleaning,
And his smile of welcome beaming
Brightly on his homeward way;
But away, swift away,
Glldes the fond deluslye seeming.
And kneel again 10 pray"
Look up, Martha! worn and swarlhy.
Glowed a face of manhood worthy.
"Robie -" Martha all they say.
Ger went wheel and reel together,
Little cared the owner whittier;
Heart of lead is heart of feather,
Noon of night is golden day.
Come away, come away;
When true lovers meet each other.

them the advantage Of locating in The iall or eaIy
in the winter, in preference TO The spring With
every country, though no more than hundred
miles distant from another, there is a change in
climate, 10 which we must become accma,ed, if
we would enjoy good health. All experience has
demonstrated that autumn and winter best prepares
the human constitution for atmospheric changes

weighing Live CptlIe by Measure,

The only instrument necessary is tape meas
ure with feet and inches marked upon it
The girth is the circumference Of the animal
Just behind the shoulder blades. The length
is the distance from the shoulder blade To the
rear Of the buttock. The superficial feet are
obtained by multiplying the girt and length
The following contains the rule toascertain the
weight of the animal:
If less than one foot in grth multiply super
fetal feet by eleven.
II less than seven and more than five multi
ply superficial feet by twentythree.
If less than nine and more than seven multi,
ply superficial feet by forty-two
II less than eleven and more than nine null
tiply superficial feet by forty-two.
RraH.ple--Suppose the girth Of bullock to
be six feet three inches; length FIVE feet six in.

feet, which multiplied by eleven gives thirty
eight and half pounds as the weight of the
animal when dressed.
In this way the weight of the four quarters

Farmers Who are intelligent and industrious
and have their work properly arranged, can
have more leisure than most others, and they
can have leisure generally when called upon
"a receive and entertain their friends, to attend
% the calls OfbenevOlenee and philanthropy, or
any proper calls of society; while the Lawyer,
the Physician, the Merchant and others, must
be At their post attending TO their business
The calls Of their friends or Of society must
necessarily be neglected. The warm hospital
ity OF the farmer has long been noted.
He too can have ready conveyances to carry
him from place to plsce ps duty or inclination
may prompt him. If he be lover pf fine fruit

seldom be obtained in the city. The strawber-
~ is much better when first pueked from the
vine, the raspberry and blackberry soon lose
much Of their flavor, gooseberues are best
when fresh from the bush, the delicious cher
ries gain nothing by laying or being transport

must delicious peach, who has not eaten it di'
rectly from the tree 4? The pears and plum'

those which are plucked off and left TO ripeu
afterwards, as scarcely to be known as the
same variety; one bunch Of grapes fresh from
the vine is worth several such as are bought il

best TO riPen on the trees.
The farmer is more independent; he cal
raise any kind Of fruit and vegetables he ma,
wish, while the citizen is dependent on what h
can find in market, which is generally supplies
after the farmers have retained what they wis
