A LITTLE Boys PRAYER. A lttly boy af- ter saying nightly the prayers which had been taught him, was quite tenacious of what he called praying his own way He had large number of brothers and sisters, whose needs and peculiaritcs he sometimes made the sub- ject of his petitions. On one occasion, at commencing this exercise he was overcome with sleep. Wrestling with his stupor, he said:
 70 Lord, bless Elizabeth, and make her better than she is."
 His head fell back on his pillow, but soon rousing, he murmurcd drowsily, Bless Henry too" 1t was in vain the tongue refused its ofice-so he added indistinctly
 "Oh, Lord, I can't, there's too many of 'em," and he sank iuto the deep slumber ot childhood
 At another time, while conducting this cxer. else in Q somewhat more wakeful mann r, he said:
 Lord, please to bless father and give him new heart Be so kind as to bless sister Mary, aud give her a new heart. 0 Lord bless mother---but you need not give her . new heart, fer she could not have any better one than she's got. and don't see how she'c go to work to be any better woman than she is now"

LOVE OF. HoaE.-If your early childhood home was happy, if your early days were for~ tunate days of love, nothing can sever your heart from your old remembered home. It would be Q glorious pleasure to him to see the treasures of art in the capitals of Europe but it could not touch those deeper chords that vibrate when he meets his boyhood con- panions, and in an instant brings back the vision of years gone by. He might desire tu sec the sun go down in an Italian sky, or ass cend among the rising Alps, but rather would he behold him from his fathers dwelling suf- fuse the West and picture trees and moun- tains against a golden sky, and feel as he used to feel when the sun in going took something of his very soul with him. What would he not endure to stand where Christ stood, to rest where he sat, or remain where he laid down in patient burial He would gladly walk through the sleepless night in solemn vigil, until the morning light should streak through the dew-drop on his hair-and yet it could not move him so as to go to tie side of the hill where his mother was buried, and sit down there while the past came back again, and childhood and love walked before him in the blessed resurrection of vision. So hath lit been ordained, that our early affections come to it's with savor that not the strongest later feeling can give.
 None know these things So we'll as the em. igrant and wanderer, for it seemeth that it was Me body omly sshied goes a,eay from hcm,. tas hsart nerer emigrates. Are there any re. fections so solacing as the very rememhcrings of homc-the old farmhouse, the broad door, stone, the humble hearth, the meadows where we scared up birds and found early flowers, he trees that pelted Us arith chesfnats, uAen ,rc pelfed Mem arith clubs, the orchard purpled in Spring and redolent in Autumn Ali these arc ill the remembrance of every man; if it has been his lot to be born at all--that Is to be born in the country.-H.ary Uard B.echer.

X VILLAGE SOLOMON IN FRAHcE.--Solne of the inhabitants of Malicorne, near Commen- try, complained to the Mayor that their geese had been stolen by dealer but as he had mixed them with a flock of his own, it was impossible to recognize them The Mayor a shrewd, hard-working peasant, solcmly ordered all the geese to be placed in carts, and sent to some distance from the village. The villa gers wondered greatly what this could mean, and even ventured to utter suspicious of the Mayors wisdom and probity. But tho func. tionary took no notice of these remarks and stalked solemnly off with the carts. Arrived at the spot he had indicated. he cried to the drivers to "stop!' and with great dignity. added, Now let loose the gecse--those that have been stolen will make their way back to their owners farm yards, those that belong to the dealer will remain" This was done, and lo as the village Solomon had said the the stolen geese wadded gravely homeward, to inc great astonishment of the simple vil- lagers The dishonest dealer was arrested.

WHAT ONE OF THEM PRODUCED.

With alt t4e progress have ma le in horticulture th. last live yaars, there still persons, who be- l,,vc that garden is not protit.he They claim. it they have garden, that every blshel of potatoes grown in it costs them fifty per bushel, when they can buy in the market for half that price; and every ear of curn squlsh an cabage tastes strong "t the silver. Ii we get at the facts in the c.se, generally find thrt they keep no account current with their gardens, anl only know that they have E lid out seventy6ve t hunarel dollars for labor sAsl manure, and have only confused recollection iof few dishes of succotsh, few dozen egg plants and strawberries and cream last June.
 We claim that this is an unfair way of judging, and that no man has right to impcach the fruitful of the son in this way, until he keeps strict ac ;r,ihnt of expenses aud products and convicts the soil of ingratitude by it's own testimony We are willing that it should stand f. by its own deeds, when fairly treated If with labor it does not bring in ample returns let it be written down bankrupt.
 We induced one of our neighbors to keep an ac- count of the products of his gaden during the past season. It is place hired Tor long series H years, unblcst with a fruit tree or shrub of any kind Not currant bush pro,incvs it's annual crop of cshwehs and wormy berries upon the prcmiscs.- Hrobably the gardch has not had hundred dollars worth of manure laid out upon it, in the last half century. Indeed there was not much but the soil there. Nothing can be credited to past liberal arcatment. It was not more than half manured the prt sent year, with Peruvian guano and the contents of pig stye. On the credit side we have for green corn sod $40 potstees Slo, peas, SIP csbimge Slo Hiiiotis, So, peahs, &i, sage, S, corn fouder, oA sandry small items, SIP making SlO5, as the amount "f vegetables sold, No account was kept of the amount of vegetables consumed in the family.
 Thc labor all performed by the man himself, sthou< interfering with the business upon which he relies for livelihood. The amount consume. in the sany was at leest equal in value to the money paid ~.;lt for the manure. making the amount of vege- '.bles sold the reward of few days of labor that ssrould otherwise have been lost This garden was in U village, and has the advantage of good ,,larkct The result shows that the soil is ready to honor any drafts that may be made upon it.

IF were talking to ny own daughter would entreat her never to allow herself to dwell upon marriage as an object of life. Dig nity and delcay sink, cannot say how rapidly when once the idea takes possession of tho mind and as to happiness there is not mora miserable being than woman, past the excite ment of youth, aiming to be married, for tho sake of being married. She becomes more and more dissatisfied and enyions, and neglect. full of present duties May you never become what have seen many others, solely from tho
 influence of this one false, degrading principle.
