Commerce. at best. is transient, and mineral
wealth seldom enriches the natives of the soil
from which it is dug. Eventually, too, it must
give out, although in this State centuries will
perhaps elapse before our gold and quartz mines
win cease to be worked Still such time must
come and We should remember that the toiler
in the mines even in our day, is essentially a
non-producer. He takes out a crop once, but
the soil henceforward. for the same purpose. is
vaiuelcss forever. Whereas the farmer annual
~ reaps his harvests, and pays back to his
mother-earth in the winter and spring par: OF
what she bestows upon him in the autumn.
There is no sowing and reaping gold dust; once
gathered it is gone forever. 1t was once said
by philosopher. that ''hs is the greatest bene-
factor of his race who makes two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before;' and there
can be no question, we imagine, between the
real and innate dignity of the several employ
ments to which our race may devote temselves
In all the clements of solid independence the
farmer is UNNECESSARILY ahead of them all"

THY LOCK OF SILVER HAIR.

- THY LUCK Of S1LVEh dA1h.
BY HELEN NJ. NoRBopRNE.
: Thy eye is bright, thy cheek is fair,
Yet meath thy curls ofjet,
A little lock of silver hair
Seems there SO strangely met
.: Thy stepis light, and gay thy tone
- That floats upon the air;
How found that. lock of grey home
With one so young and far2
With oueso young and bright as thou,
.,:;,.A A child almostin years;
Yeton thy calm and lovely brow,
That badge Of time appears.
- ,Twould seem thy heart Of Springs sweet prime
hile in its careless flow,
Was met by frost of Winter time,
That left flake Of snow.
rTwould seem as though life's carly stream,
- Rejecting the clear sky,
Was check'd as with a sudden CLEAN
- OF sorrow passing by. ....
And was II tlien tue bPea'It Ol care
That lefI that lock of hoar,
That mingles with thy sunny hair
And shadest thy temple o'er
Oh. if eclips'd by sorrows dart,
Has been thy pleasure bright,
Still pure and good it LEFT thy heart,
Tho e'en subdued in light.
And oh +! it left my gentle soul,
In tears as cen in joy,
Beneath loves soft and sweet control,
Uns llird with alloy.
1t left thy spirit free and pure,
In tenderness and truth,
While all affectiun's bonds endure
- OF thy sweet loving youth.
Then do not griere, or in sal dream,
That lock Of white regret
IT'S beautiful as silver stream,
'Alids, waves cf glossy jet.
But down lifc's calm and peaceful glade,
May Iong.year roal away,
Fer grefs chill land, or sorrows SHADE,
-. Another lock turn gray.
