STICK TO YOUR BUSINESS.

There is nothing which should be more fre-
quentiy impressed upon the minds Of young
men than the Importance. of steadily pursuing
one business. The frequent changing from.
one employment to another Is one OF the most
common errors committed, and 1t may be
traced to moret than half the failures Of men in
business, ard much of the discomfort and dis
appointment that render life unconfort.Ile.-
II is very common tl,ing for man to be
dissatisfied with his business, aud to desire TO
change it for some other, aud What seems to
him will prove more lucrative employment
but in niue cases out Of ten it is mistake
Look round you and you will find among your
acquaiutances abundant veriliGation of our as
ser ion. Here is young man who commeccd
life as a mechanic; but, from some cause
imagined that he ought to have been doctor,
and after hasty and shallow preparation, has
taken up tile saddlebags only to find that work
is still work. and that his patients no more
profitable than his work bench, anl the occu-
patton not a whit more agreeable. e1Fsss-.
Here arc two Young men, cGtks; one OF
them is content, when his first term of service
is over, TO continue clerk until he shall have
saved enough to commence business on his
own account; the other cannot wait, but starts
without capital, and with a limited experiences,
and brings up, after few years, in a court of

uYMN or NATURE.

God of earth's extended plains
The dark green fields Conteuted lie;
The mountains rise like holy. towers
Where man might commune with the sky (;
Tie tall cliff challenges the storm
That lowers upon the vale below
Where shaded fountains send their stream
With joyous music in their flow.
God of the dark and heavy deep!
Whose waves lie sleeping on the sands,
Till the fierce trumpet of the storm
Hath sulstnonea up their numbering bands
Then ne hise sails are dashed like foam,
Or hurry trenbling DER the seas,
'Tftlcalmned by thee, The sinking gale
Serenely breathes-depart in peace.
God of the forests solemn shade!
The grandeur o the lonely tree
That wrestIes singly with the gale
Lifts up admir- ing eyes to theei
But more majestic far tIey stand
When, side by side, their ranks they form,
To wave on high their plumes OF green,
And fght their battles with the storm.
God of the light and yicwIess air!
Where summer breezes sweetly fow,
Or gathering in their angry might,
The fierce and wintry tempests blow;
All-hom the Evenings plaintive sigh
That hardly lifts the dropping flower,
To the wild whirlwind's mdnight cry
Breat:.e forth the language of thy power.
! Cod of the fair and open sky!
How .gloriously above US springs
The tented -obe of heavenly blue
Suspended on the rainbow's rings;
Each brilliant star that sparkles through
Each gildcd cloud that wanders free
In evenings purple radiance-gives
The beauty of its praise TO thee.
God Of the rolling orbs above
Thy name is written cl arly bright
IT. the warm days unenrying blHze
On evenings golden shower Of ligh.
Esrevery fire that fronts the sun,
Aud every spark that walks alone
Around the utmost verge of heaven,
Were kindlcj at Thy burning throne
God of the world! the hour must comet
And nature itself to dust return;
Her crumbling alters must decay.
Her incense fires shall cease to burn
But still her grand and lovely scenes
Have made mans warmest praises flow,
For hear grew boiler as they traced
The beauty of the world below.

Luck with Trees.

We have noticed that certain men al
ways have much finer peaches, and pears,
and plums, than most of their neighbors,
and are then called lucky. Their luck
consisted in the first place, in doing eve
rything well--taking what their neigh
bors called foolish pains--leaving nothing
unfinished, and in the second place, in
taking good care Of what they have; that
is, giving their trees wide, deep and mel
low cultivation, and apply manure when
necessary and especially the liquid ma
nure from the chamber and the wash-tub.
Great pains taken, whether with fruit
trees or with children, scarcely ever fail
to produce good results.

MuLcHINe FRUIT TREEs.--A cores
pondent Of the Hortculturist planted $50
trees in an orchard in a very good, but
rather dry soil. All were planted with
equal care, but third of them were
mulched, or on the surface Of the ground
when planted covered with six inches Of
litter. Those thus treated all lived; but
fifteen of those not mulchsd died in the
hot dry weather Of midsummer. It's not
stated that the soil was kept clean and
mellow around them; which will often
save the life of trees, when they will die
