They spring unnotccd and unknown,
Mid rocky wilds they bloom:
They flourish mid the desert lone,
They deck the silent tomb:
They cheer the peasants lowly COT
Adorn the monarch's hall;
They fill each quiet, shady spot
Oh, who can tell them all!
Some DER the murm' ring streamlet fling
Their blossoms bright and fair,
And there, in vcrnul beauty, spring,
Fann'd by the fragrant air.
Some meath the oceans rolling waves
In silent grandeur grow:
Nor heed the storm that DER them raves,
But still in beauty blow.
Some where the eagle builds its nest,
Where man has never trod,
Where cen the clIamois dare not rest
Upon the crumbling sod;
Ycs, there, even there, wild 6ow 'rcts grow
In richest dress arrayed,
And O'cr the Clamor0us eaglcts throw
Their light and graceful shade.
Mid mountains Of perpetual snow,
By icy girdlcs bound,
Some rendered doubly bcauteous,
And deck the frozen ground:
And mid cold Winters angry storm
The snow.drnp rcars its bead.
And shows its pure. unspottcd form
When other flowers have fed.
Some on the brCc1cs Of the night
Their grateful Udors send;
While others, children Of the light, %
To-day their perfume lend.
Some bloom beneath the tOrrid zone,
Meath India's sultry skiCa:
Mid lccland's mountains, chill and lone,
The form Of others rise.
The stately fern, the golden broom,
The lily-tall and fair
All these in rich succession bloom,
And scent the Summer air.
In secret dell, by murm'ring rill-
In garden bright and gay--
Within the valley-On the hill
Flowers cheer our toilsome way!
Flowers image forth the boundlesS love
God bears his children all
Which ever droppcth from above
Upon the great and small!
Each blossom that adorns our path,
. SGaioyful and so fair,
Is but drop of love divine,
That fell and 6ourished there.

the fifth year eight bushels, and the sixth year

TRIMMING.-Those who have nothing else
to do at this season Of the year may trim
their trees and vines. Grape vines ought to
BE- trimmed soon in case they were neglected
in November 1t is generally supposed that
vines ought not to be cut or trimmtd d when
the sap flows, or when the vines bleed, though
some contend that bleeding is not Injurious
We advise to trim before the time of tap.
ping to obtain sap. March is not good
month for trimming grape vines. If the
work cannot be done as early as February it
will be better to let alone till May. when the
flow.
Apple trees and cherry trees may as well
be trimmed now as at any time, provided that
small limbs only are cut-and in case the
trees are trimmed annually no large limbs
need to be cut We would not recommend
the emitting Of any apple tree limb which was
more than one inch in diameter--and none
larger than this need to be cut in case of an
annual trimming.
a fine saw with dalrow plate is the best
tool for trimming--the limb need not be cut
very close to the body, for the wound may be
too broad To he healed in single season.
When a trimmer has time enough and would
b. quite nice, he should have II sharp knife
and pare the corners of the wound, when il
will heal sooner than the rough edge made
by the saw.
Men should not stand on the young limbs
with heavy boots on or shoes with nails in
them, for the tender bark will be of more
service where it grew than on the rough
boot Put on slippers or easy shoes when
yon have young and thrifty limbs to stand
on.-MaSS. Ptowmdn.

BY their saie we will realize from the start,

method of reducing the State debt. The in

will be doubly advantageous TO the State. as
an investment yielding interest, and in addi-

ROUTINE AND THE "REsoLUTE."

Can it be possible Is dull Routine
Really so stupid-such mere machine?
SO utterly divorced from common sense
So seduously seemed to give offence
And shall Americas most courteous boon
Officially be flung aside SO soon -
Nor rather kept for ever and day,
With all the love and honor we can pay2
Hear this, two Hempispheres, both Old and
= New?
Hear it, Americans and Britons, too!
The noble ship, sent forth the lost to save,
But left a flotsam to the wind and wave.
Rescued, redeem'd, repaird, was given, thus
With all brothers generous love to us.
Vein our Queens aud peoples heart-up.

Our thanks, to bless the giver and his gift
Vein our rulers and their proud routine,
Scorning the people and the peoples Queen
Command, "by order of my Lords" to strip
Forthwith to q sheer hulk this sacred ship
Its glories, honors. interest--all despised
All England's sense of kindness compromi-
sed,
And all Americas great heart ignored,
Because so wlls--somo Admiralty Lord
You stolid rulers In the times Of old
a. satirist imagined he was bold
In sinartly saying, "With how little wit
The world is governd. God be good to it y
But you make dull to that dictum OF the

By being far more stupid in this age,
Than he could fancy for you govern now
BY simple force OF folly-God knows how
America while yet q Briton's cheek
Is hot with Indignation, hear us speak:
England misjudged SO oft as ruled amiss
And plagued perpetually by shames like this,
Now doth resolve to wipe this wrong away
Nor thus with scorn your kindliness repay.
We will resciud that "order of my Lords"
And make their Lordships eat their I.ordshps

All that your kindness gave, their folly stript

In perfect order by the peoples Queen,
SO everything their diligence restore
For us, the people, as it stood before:
Commanding lastly, that, for honor's sake,
70 save the uation from great mistake,
They moor the Resolute, with all her gear,
In Portsmouth harbor or at Greenwich pier:
A home for Arctic heroes timely made,
a charitable show for orphans aid; visa
A proof how well Columbia did her part,
And how Routine abused our English heart
