so refined in manners, so attentive to
their duties, so anxious to excel.
We should mention that the kind
friend who had been the cause of this
Improvement, had so far recruited his
health that he had returned to his ci-
ty business ; he never lost sight Of the
Buritts. Some ten Or twelve years
after our narrative begins, he spent
week or two with his old friends. How
did he find things then? Changed
most agreeably changed. James, the
third son, was obtaining a good prac-
tice as the best physician in the neigh
borhood Thomas, the elder, was the
farmer, and looked up to as an oracle
in all agricultural matters, and had
exerted happy influence in raising
the characters Of all the farmers a
round; and Robert, the second son,
what was he? tits the Sabbath; ma
ny vehicles are on the road that leads
to the stone Church the house be-
comes crowded. In the front pew sits
an anxious family-it Is the Bul1'itts
the cause is soon apparent-R0bert is
to preach for the first time in the old
church, and IN the presence of many
one who knew him when little boy,
Although with some signs of timidity,
he commenced the service, and before
ho had closed, there was many q moist
in that assembly. lie had spoken
to them in an earnest, affectionate and
impressive namer-one Of the most
promising young ministers Of the day.
Farmer Burrits and his kind hcal I'd
wife were almost overcome with emo
ton, as many strong hand grasped
theirs, accompanied by hearty con-
gratulations.
Next day, the city friend smilingly
inquired of farmer Burritt why he bad
not called on him for the fifty dollars
with interest in full! With a tear
ful eye, and strong grasp Of the
hand, he said, '4Look at these sons,
look at these beloved daughters, look
at the old couple, look at my prosperous
business, look in upon our minds and
changed hearts, and you will get the
answer. .'-Presbyteriaa.

the first time since my marriage, and
| don't know what evil genius prompt

''My dear" snid I to my wife, on

Melancholy Presemtinent

We have to record most melan-
choly instance of the power of hallu-
cination over the mind and health of a
highly respectable and intelligent
young lady of Kinderhook, in this
State, who some two years since,
while in the enjoyment of robust health
was visited one night at her bedside
las she affirmed at the time) by an ap-
partition which in solemn accent inform
ed her that at the age Of Is she would
be an inhabitant of another and bet
ter world. She made the incident
known to her mother, who vainly en-
deayourcd to erase the circumstance
from the mind Of her daughter by
treating it as the hallucination Of a
dream. The daughter, however, a
vered that she was in possession Of her
faculties and wide awake at the time
Of receiving her spiritual visitor ; and
such was the effect it had upon her
mind that, girl full of life and
glee, she became tLougtful and reser-
we'd, and gradually sunk under its de
pressing influence, pining gradually
until recently she became a tenant Of
the graveyard just as she was entering
her eighteenth year.-Kinderhook

Farmer BsaEFits aiad Elis Library.
Farmer Bunitt was a plain honest
Pennsylvania husbandman, who had
been brought up very much as his ia
ther and grandfather had been before
him-that is, with Just knowledge
enough to make him a respectable til
Ter Of the soil. For several winters
when farm work was slack, he had
been sent to a coutry school, ald lav-
ing some aptitude, he learned to read
and write tolerably well, and to cast
up simple accounts. There his litera-
ry education ended, and henceforth his
energies were devoted to that kind Of
labor which is so necessary to make a
p actical farmer. On the death Of
his thrifty father, he entered into pos
session Of a large and good farm,
and i'll due time married. At the
time to which VIC now refer, he had
six children, all young, who had come
into the world alternately boys and
girls, aud their father never dreamed
Of their being brought up in any other
way than he and his ancestors had
leen. Each one was destined to re-
ceive little schooling, and to do
great deal Of work suited to their re
spective ages. As is unhappily the
case with too many farm-houses, there
was but dim light in that dwelling.
There was no thought Of cultiyating
the higher faculties Of its inmates
they we're to 90 through the dull plod-
ding life Of those who had preceded
them; and although the farmer had
good family Bible and Psalm book,
his library consisted Of some few rag
ged elementary school books, with ne
cessary annual almanac. 1t was III
this state of affairs that an intelligent
neighbor, who had turned his atten-
ton from city business to farming,
with the view of recruiting his health,
became acquainted with MIR. Burritt,
and deeply interested in his family.
The confidence he inspired, and the
kindly feelings which he manifested,
made him a welcome visitor, and gave
him no small influence. In the course
of many conversations, he threw
out occasional hints about the proper
training of children, and the advan-
tages resulting from cultivating their
mental faculties and moral powers.
Although he found farmer Burritt and
his wife rather dali scholars, who with
difficulty could look beyond the mar
row sphere in which they themselves
had been educated, he was neYerthe-
less encouraged to give them line upon
line and prccept upon prccept. Ia
king advantage Of what he supposed a
favorable opportunity, he engaged one
day in the following conversation with
the farmer:
s.Neighbor Burritt, | was thinking
today, that you were one Of cur most
substantial and thriving farmers" !"
"Thank you; am pretty well to
do in the world, but it Is because |
work my way. | have no idle folks
about ne.
"rrue, friend Buritt; and it is
commenable in you; but you will ex-
cusc me if say | have implements
which good farmer should have"
"Havn't though2 | guess if you
viii look lo-t, you'll find | have ali

Moonlight GA slae Grave.
1t shineth on the quiet grave
Whsre weary ones have gone,
1t watches win angelic gaze
Where the dead are lett alone;
And not sound OF busy life
To the sill graveyard comes,
But peacefully the slccpers lie
Down in their silent homes.
All silently and solemnly
1t throwcth shadows round;
Aud every graye-stone hath trace
la dai kness ON the ground
1t looketh on "a tiny mound
Where little child is laid,
And lighted up a noble pile
Which human pride hath made,
L falleth with uualtercl ray
On the simple and the stern,
And shOweth with solemn light
The sorrows we must learn
1t telleth Of divided ties
On which its beams have shone;
1t wnispereth Of heavy hearts,
Which ''brokuly live Oh.
1t gleameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side 10y side;
1t talieth where the niaideu rests
Vino IN her beauty died
There IS no grave in all the earth
That moonlight has not seen;
1t gazeth cold and passionless
Where agony hath been.
Yet it is well that changeless ray
4 deeper thought should throw,
When mortal love pours forth the tide
OF unayailing woe.
1t teaches us uo shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky
That all our sorrow lieth here
The glory is ON high.
