The Harvest Moon.

In the deep silence Of the night
Wecome, OH Harvest Moon.
To dance beneath thy gentle light,
To many merry tune.
We come whilst thou in thoughtful sheen
Art besming from tho blue,
Through wild wood lone and meadow green
To tread the mellow dew,
And pledge ere m idnight's solemn noon
Our vows of love, oh, Harvest Moon!
Whilst thou art Queen of earth and sky
Thy stars around thee spread;
Among the sheaves of corn and rye
We think Of daily bread,
And thank the joyous seasons passed,
The sunshine and the rain,
The winter snow, the autumnsl blast,
For plenty Of the plain,
And call on thee ere Midnights noon,
To hear the vow, oh. Harvest Moon!
And when the Joyous dance is DER,
BY twos and threes we pass
Through the thicket green and wild VOC
hoar,
To turn the brimming glass,
And indulge in cups of foaming ale,
Our swee thearts and our wives,
And pray that harvest ne'er may fail,
Nor joy to good mems lives;
And call on thee al Midnights noon,
To hear the VOW, sweet Harvest Moon

by one of his wicked companions in th
bush, and he had murdered the thief for tn,

hope he had been foi!ed. This having beer
found upon the body, had been judged con
elusive to identity it with his own remains

by a successful pIllsge obtained money
enough for his transit homewards, be had
ventured back to England. Finding his
unfortunate wife well married and in such
happiness, his hatred of her redoubled, and
his determination strengthened TO persecute
her at all hazards. The poor lady had never
before had strength of mind to reveal hio
extortions, nor the horrid truth of his being
still in existence: and now her confession,
and the certainly of having to IL ave her
beloved Markham for this dreadful husband.
had brought her into the most dangerous
state. She had prayed for death more fer
vently than any dying man for life; when,
therefore, the squire had carried up to her

RAT PROOF CORN CRIB.

DR.. CLoUD-Dear Sir One Of your cor.
respondents in the December number Of the
Cotton Planter, inquiries how log corn cribs
could be built to prevent rats from getting
into them. BY cutting your blocks two feet
and half, or three feet long cut in sugar
loaf shape; little end up. with cap on it as
large or larger than barrel head, (or pillars
built in the same shape) will effectually keep
these troublesome animals out; provided,
you make no other way Of entrance by lean
ing something against the crib, or throwing
your corn in such heaps on the ground against
the crib, as to enable them to get in. Framed
cribs will not effect the object, unless secur-
ed in the same way /; for rats would not re-
quire longer than two nights to cut through
any framed crib, when they can get to it.
The plan will not put on one dollar addi-
tinoal expense, and the saving would be con-
siderable. The only crib ever saw secure
from rats, was built in this way. Build your
cribs in this way. and give the corn you have
been raising for rats to better purpose.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THE SLAVE
QUESTION.


The Archbishop and Bishops of the Catho-
lc church, who recently assembled in pro.
vnciai council in Baltimore, have issued
pastoral letter to the clergy and aity of that
denomination. Among other subjects to
which ltreiers IS the slavery question. The
following is an extract:
The peaceful and conservative character
ot our principles, which are adapted to every
form Of government and every state of socie-
ty, has been tested, and made manifest in
the great political struggles that have agita-
ted the country on the subject Of domestic
slavery. Although history plainly testifes
that the church has always belriended the
poor and laboring classes, and elFectually
procured the mitigation of the evils attached
to sefsitude, until through her mild influence
It has passed away from the nations Of Euro
pc, yet she has never disturbed established
order, or endangered the peace Of society by
following theories of philanthropy.
Faithful to the teachings and examples
OF the Apostles, she has always taught ser.
wants to obey their masters, not serving to
the eye merely, but as to Christ, and in His
name she commands masters to treat their
servants with humanity and justice, remind
ing them that they also have Master 10 hea-
ven. We have not, therefore, found it me-
cessary TO modify our teachings with a view
Of adapting it to local circumstances. Among
US there has been no agitation on this subject.
Our clergy have wisely Sustained from all in.
reference with the judgment Of the faithful,
which should be free on all questions Of poll
ty and social order, within The limits of the
doctrine and law of Christ. We exhort you,
venerable brethren, TO pursue this course,
so becoming the ministers Of Christ and
dispensers Of the mysteries Of God.' Let the
dead bury their dead. Leave to worldlinss
the cares and anxieties Of political PARTISAN
ship, the struggles for ascendency, and the
notifications Of disappointed ambition. Do
not, IN any way, identify the interests Of our
holy faith with the fortunes of any party
but, preaching peace and good will 10 all
mankind, study only to win to truth The de-
!uded children of error, and to merit the
confidence Of your flocks, so that, becoming
all to all, you may gain all to Christ
