THE HOURS.


Passing by, on swift wings passing,
Borne upon the stream of Time
Each bright hour is onYard gliding,
Onward with their siivcry thin'e.
Happy Hours,
Shall we, then, their loss repine?
Passing by, in vain to ask them
Why they hurry swiftly on,
1t were all in vain to call them,
Time waits not, but soon is gone.
Fleeting Hours
Every moment must be won.
Some have come annOunceh By sunshine
Borne upon their fairy wings,
Like the coming orthe spring.time,
When to light and lite it springs.
Lovely Hours,
Loveliest Of the fairy things.
We would charm their stay forever,
We would bind with golden chain
Each fair moment 90 that never
1t should pdss away again.
Wingless Hours,
Every moment, then, to claim.
But, perchance some one in sadnes,
On their pinions, shed a tear
And they came unlike the gladness
OF the former happy year.
Haste then Hours,
Linger not so sadly rear.
So adoat in robes of brightness;
Or in sorrows dark array,
Round the heart in willy brightness,
Hover hours that cannot stay.
Angel Hours,
Do thy mission, then away.

every means to supply themselves as lar

can be made as a substitute. How relief
is to be obtained from the use OF the

to be tested, and this season will afford
pretty good test, as the seed is being
widely disseminated. But there is nc
mistake or uncertainty about the Sugar

Cane.
Will it do well in the North ? Why
not ? tits grown in precisely the same
climate and manner as the common lndi-
an Corn, and it requires precisely the
same treatment. But will it produce as
much sugar, and Of AS good quality, in
the North as in the South? +? Is our soil
and climate adapted to it? Yes. Its
successful culture in China and Japan, in
precisely cur latitude and climate, settles
this point. No finer sugar comes from
sunny Cuba, or from "away down IN
Alabama," than from the tall naples OF
Vermont or Canada.

Same number of shocks grown on

Eight shocks, grown on ground plowed
