SONG FOR FARMERS BOYS.


Oh, the farmers boy is a joyial lad,
So healthy, bright and free;
In his country home he is ever glad;
oh that is the home for mo,
With whcop and haw to his lively toum
With the lark abroad is he,
With his bread and milk unrobbcd Of cream;
Oh that is the homo for me.
Oh, thut is tho houic for mo,
For me, for me, foi me.
In the morning bright he drives away,
Ere the morning sun we see
The lowing herd to silver stream,
And TO pastures green and free.
In the summer time in HE harvest field,
With cooling drink we sec
Both the farmer boy and the farmer girl;
Oh that is the homo for me,
Oh that is the home for me,
For me, for me, for me.
When the Autumn winds are sweeping wide
lie is gathering nuts you see;
For winter store he will lay them by
For his sister, hmsclfand me.
To the orchard then he hies away.
For ho knows each favorite tree,
And he saves the fruit for a coming friend
, oh that is the home for me,
oh that is the homo for me,
For me, FOR me, for me.
When the Winter comes with its driving
Then the farmers boys in glee [blas
For he loves the snow which is falling fast
AS its drifting DER the lea.
And he says to himself, tomorrow morn
With my sled and my skates I'll be,
While the cattle are munching their hu
end corn,
Oh that is the homo for me,
oh that is the home for me,
For me, for me, for me.

The Bible and the Discoveries ofBcience.

The following eloquent passages are
from Lieut.. Maury's late work, the
Physical Geography of the Sea-
The Bible frequently makes allu-
sion to the laws Of nature, their opera
tons and effects. But such illusions
are often so wrapped in the fold of
the peculiar and graceful drapery
with which its language is occasion.
ally clothed, that the meaning, though
pceping out from its thin covering
all the while, yet lives in some sense
concealed, until the lights and revcl-
ations of science are thrown upon it;
then it bursts out and strikes us with
the more force and beauty.
As our knowledge Of nature and
her laws has increased, so has our I'M
Outstanding Of passages in the Bible
improved. The Bible called the earth
the round world yet for ages it was
the most damnable hcresy for chris
tan men to say the world is round: and
finally, sailors circumnavigatcd the
globe, proved the Bible to be right, and
saved christian men Of science from
the stake. Cans't thou tell the sweet
influence ofthc Pleiadcs?
Astronomers of the present day, if
they have not answered the question,
have thrown so much light upon it as
show that, if ever it be answered by
man, he must consult the science Of
astronomy. 1t has been recently all
but proved that the earth and sun,
with their splendid retinue of comets,
satellites, and planets, are all in mo-
ton around some point or center Of
attraction inconceivably remote, and
that point is in the direction Of the
star Alyon, one of the Pleiades Who
but the astronomer, then, could tell
their sweet influences!
And as for the general system OF
atmospheric circulation which have
been so long endeavoring to describe,
the Bible tells IL all IN one sentence:'Th
wind goeth toward the South and
turneth in the North; it whirleth about
continually, and the wind retuneth
again according to his circuits. '--Eccl.
