The eyes that look with love on thee
That brighten with thy smile, m
Or mutely bid thee hope again,
If thou art sad while;
The eyes that when no words are breathed,
Gaze fondly into thine io "a"
Oh, cherish them, ere they grow dim;
They may not always shine!
The faithful hearts around thee,
That glow with love and truth
That time nor care ne'er yet have scared,
Nor ravished of their truth;
The hearts whose beatings we have heard,
When throbbing near our own
Oh, cherish them those beatlngs hushed,
Earth's dearest tones are gone.
The days when there are hearts and eyes
That throb and beam for thee;
The few feet hours when life doth seem
Bright as summer sea;
The thrilling moments when to speak
The full hearts joy is vain
Oh, cherish them once gone, alas!
They ne'er return again

For the Edstmdnvlle Times.
Memories.


There are mem'ries in life which can never depart,
Which brighten and brighten as time steals away
As the vine to the tower they twne round the heart
4 Like a halo of gladness they lend life a ray
Which dispels every gloom, every shadowy sorrow
And browns a dark now, in a hope of tomorrow.
When the heart despairs, and life seems gloom,
These mem'ries arise like a sweet waking dream
And sport on lost hopes, as the sun DER tomb,
Shedding light on the future, glorious beam,
Which cleaning on Fate, bids him putup his arrow
And tells the sad heart of coming tomorrow.
The worlds but a show, or the warning of strife,
And Time wears q wrath-wrinkled brow,
But remember before thou despairest of life, sh
That tits not the past, or the future, but now;
And if it be tinged with a corring of sorrow,
Look upward, and hope for brighter tomorrow
Then cherish these thots, a treasure that's rare,
Locked up in the fathomless depths of the mind
When sorrows arise as a storm on the air,
Then call up these gems, throw grief to the wind
Pass calmly through life, nor seek care to borrow
Let hope be thy anchor, thy day-star-to-morrow

Rules for Parents,

From your children's earliest infancy teach
the necessity of instant obedience.
Unite firmness with gentleness. Let your
children always understand that what you
say, that you mean.
Never promise them anything unless you
are quite sure that you can give them what
you promise.
If you tell little child to do anything,
show him how to do it, and do not forget to
see that he does it.
Always punish children for disobedience
but never in anger.
Never let them perceive that they vex you
or make you lose your self command.
If they give way to petulence and temper
wait until they are calm, and then gently
reason with them on the impropriety OF theil
conduct.
Remember that little present punish.
ment, when the occasion arises, is much more
effectual than the threatening of greater
punishment should the fault be repeated.
Never give your children anything because
they cry for it. a.s,i gui.
On no account allow them to do at one
time what you have forbidden under like cir
cumstances at another. ~, al
Teach them that the only way to appeal
good is to be good. tfim
Accustom them to make their little recital
with perfect truth. a bua ris st
Never allow of tale bearing.
Teach them that self-deuisl, not self-ipdul
gence, will make them happy. oa.mo5

Growth of Trees.

If we were to take up handful of soil
and examine it under the microscope, we
should probably find in it a certain number
of fragments of wood, small broken pieces
of the branches, or leaves, or other parts of
the tree. II we could examine it chemical
ly, we should find yet more strikingly that it
was nearly the same as wood In its compo-
siton. Perhaps, then, it may be said, the
young plants obtains the wood from the earth
in which it grows?
The following experiment will show whcth-
er this conjecture is likely to be correct one
or not.
Two hundred pounds of earth was dried
in an oven, and afterwards put in large
earthcn vessel; the earth was then moistened
with rain-water, and willow tree, weighing
five pounds, was placed therein. During the
space of five years, the earth was carefully
watered with rain-water or pure water. The
willow grew and fourished, and to prevent
the earth from being mixed with fresh earth,
or being blown upon it by the winds, it was
covered with metal plate, full of minute
holes, which would exclude all but air from
getting across to the earth below it.
After growing in the earth for five years,
the tree was removed, and, on being weighed,
was found to have gained 165 pounds, as it
now weighed 17O pounds. And this esti-
mate did not include the weight of the leaves
or dead branches which in five years fell
from the tree. Now came the application of
the test. Was all this obtained from the
earth? 1t had not sensibly diminished; but
in order to make the experiment conclusive,
it was again dried in an oven and put in the
balance. Astonishing was the result-the
earth weighed only two ounces less than it
did when the willow was planted in it! yet
the tree had gained l65 pounds! Manifest
ly, then, the wood thus gained in this space
of time was not obtained from the earth
we are threfore compelled to repeat our ques-
ton, Where does the wood come from 81
We are left with only two alternatives the
water with which it was refreshed or the air
in which it lived. 1t can be clearly shown
that it is not due to the water; we are con-
sequently unable to resist the wonderful con-
clusion, it was derived from the air.
Can it bel Where those great ocean
spaces of wood, which as old as mans in
PRODUCTION into Eden, and wave in their vast
but solitary luxuriance over the fertile hills
and plains of South America, were these all
obtained from thin air! Were the particles
which unite to form out battle-ships, Old
England's walls of wood, ever borne the
world about not only on wings Of air, but
actually as air themselves? Was the firm
table on which write, the chair on which
rest, the solid floor on which dwell, once in
form which l could not as much as lay my
finger on, or grasp in my hands? wonderful
truth! all this is air.
