A Beautiful Paraphrasc.

AS we have got into sacred poetry, we
may as we'll remark, as an inexplicable
curiosity, the intense badness of rhyme
in most, of the psalms and hymns used in
public. William Cooper, James Mont
gomery, Kirke White, and Thomas Moore
are almost the only poets who, writing
upon sacred subjects. have adhered to
rhythm, as well as to appropriateness Of
expression. We have lately fallen upon
something very different from the us ual
poetical paraphrases Of Sacred Writ. It
is versifcation of the Lords Prayer
an orison, the brevity and concentration
of which ought to be lesson to those who
indulge in many words when they pour
out prayer and praise. 1t has lately been
published in London, is composed as a
duet, and harmonized for four voices, with
an accompaniment for the organ or piano
forte. 1t runs thus: fi's.tH
Our Heavenly Father, hear our prayer;
Thy name be followed everywhere ;
Thy kingdom come Thy perfect will
In earth, as Heaven, let all fulfil ;;
Give this days bread, that We may live
Forgive our sins as We forgive i I'd
Help lis temptation to withstand,
From evil shield us by Thy hand
Now and forever unto Thee,
The kingdom, power and glory be.
Here, nothing is redundant, nothing
wanting. The music, simple and melo-
dious, is said to be worthy of the words.
The most curious circumstance connected
with this paraphrase is, that all persons
concerned keep their names concealed
The authors are -. NJ" and "W. H."
The artist who has beautifully adorned
the music is IS r. T." The musical com
poser is &c. F. H." The paraphrase
which is as near perfection as human tai
ent can make it, has been duly entered
at Stationers' Hail." but is not published
1t is to be hoped that it will be published
so that it may be adopted in public and
private WORSHIP PHILADELPHIA Press.

CHRIST SHILLING THE TEMPEST.

&!y BY THOMAS TABOR. tHa-
A busy day had pass'd away,
Five thousand had been fed,
Hard by the sea Of Gallilee.
With fishes and with bread.
Twelve baskets, there. Of broken meat,
Were gathered, that they could not eat.
"a On q lone mountains lofty height,
e The Savior fain wants sleep;
His little flock, though dark the night,
Had launched into the deep;
A great wind swelled the raging main-
Without their Lord, how great their pain
How fearfully the lightning fash'd,
~ The echoing thunder rolled,
As onward still the wild waves dash'd--
Their frail bark uncontrolPd
All hope had fed, and blank despair
Had left its dire impression there.
The Savior heard their hopeless wall,
He saw the fierce winds rave;
Then walked, where vessels could not sail
His chosen ones to save: ir- 74,t
Tempests and storms obey His will,
II He commands, they must be still.
They saw Him walking ON the wave /;
He bade the tempest cease
No more they feared watery grave,
His presence gave them peace.
No more went up the fearful cry,
When this they heard, I" Fear not, It's 2
The waves so lately mountain high,
The winds so fierce and Wild
At His command, those smoothly lie
There quiet as a child.
The ship, no more of winds the sport.
Is safely landed in her port.
Our Savior bids the weary come,
And He will give them rest a
He calls COPS erring children home
To mansions of the blest.
Their bark, so lately tempest-dnven,
Through grace, is safely moored in heaven
The dark and stormy voyage Of life,
Con wills it thus to close
The end of pain, and sin and strife,
And dawn Of bless'd repose.
. So, brethren, may our sun decline
In heavens superior light to shine.

Hay can be stored in the barn in too damp
or green state. so as to heat and become in
iured in value. II can also, in good weather,
be over-dried, SO as TO be much less palita-
bic and nutritious as winter food for stock
Every farmer should exercise a correct iudg-
ment i'm these matters. for they are matters of
"dollars and cents with him.
In curing clover for hay, it requires differ
ent treatment from that of the grasses. 1t is
generally thought clover should be cut when
about one-half the heads have turned to a
brown color. and to be of the most value it
should be made mostly in the cock; in this
way, most Of tho heads and leaves will be
saved, and retain their original color, while
If spread and pitched about, the heads and
leaves soon become dry and are mostly lost.
The practice of many farmers is to cut their
clover after the dew off, letting it remain in
the swath till about four o'clock, afternoon,
and then, while warm with the heat OF the
sun, with forks put it in cocks that will weigh
from forty to fifty pounds when tit for the
barn-next afternoon pitch over, by putting
two cocks into one Next day partially
spread the cocks or turn them bottom up
wards. and If the weather has been favorable
it will do to cart to the barn in the afternoon.
Some sprinkle from four TO six quarts Of salt
per ton, as they NOV away their clover hay.
Clover thus cured, is not liable to injurc
horses and in the opinion OF some farmers, is
worth "ior milch COWS and sheep as much
per ton ms English hay "But it is not I'M
common among thriftlcss farmers. to handle
their clover ia such way that the best pats
Of it are shaken off and destroyed j.. n.
