When evening shadows around us fall:
And from the lattace far it CLEANS.

When wearied With the tolls of day.
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way.
Where loving lips wil list our name,

How cheering is that twinking light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies.
1t is the light al home he feels
That loving heart, viii greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The Joy and love that hanish care
Around the light at home.
The light, at home, whene'er at last

He feels no more the chilling blast
That beats upon his manly form.

The blessings that lhe beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and Joys that flow,

We are pleased 10 sre that so many publish
ers of papers are now recommending the prac-
tce which We have advocated for some years
past, to guard fruit trees from mice IN winter
One minute tree viii be time enough TO be
spent in protecting orchards through the winter
from the ravagps of field mice. ANY common
laborer on farm is competent to the task of
banking around fruit trees If they were null
cheG last spring the rulchiug need not BE- re-
moved. Take spade and bury it and con-
time on until The bank around each tree is made
ten or twelve inches high. This will drive the
nice away TO seek better quarters, unless your
trees happen to stand near an old wall, where
mice do congregate. In such case the bank
should be made higher.
This banking serves another purpose in addi-
ton TO a mice guard-it ker7s the treeupright,
and saves the cost Of stakes and the injury which
withrs are likely 10 inGict when the tree is tied
10 them. This bank should be levelrd in the
Spring, vet not so as to make dish for water 10

should stand in water for single minute after

It's night and on the diving wear
The orbs OF Heaven shine
And rolling in their heavily spberes
Move with the march of time.
The little stars, bright gems on high.
Tier nightly vislls keep;
And DER the silent. sIumbering earth.
Their rays Of beauty weep.
Bright fountains Of aerial light,
In yon celestial dome.
Reflect the majesty of God,
And his eternal throne.
In them see 10 changes wrouoht
By times destroying hand;
They move as they have ever mov'd.
A bright and lovely band
Bu: earth is subject TO decay.
And bears her marks OF change;
There is blight for every bud
throughout her varied range;
And man IS but passing breath,
smile, a sigh. tear;
He lives the seasons of his life.
Then passes like the year.
lime! HtnF! nations before thee sink
Like bubbles on a stream;
And all their might and splendor fade,
Or live but in a dream;
But thou art onward in thy course,
UnmindfuI Of the past;
And all that IS, and e'er will be,
Must fall before thy blast.
Soon the midnight hour will toll
The death knell of a year;
And on the rapid flight OF time,
Another will appear.
Adieu, thou passing, dying year,
feel Thy chifsn4 breath;
And soon the monrnful winds will sing
The requiem Of thy death.
