BY LOUISE CHANDLER MouLTo,

The lark is singing gayly in the meadow,
The sun is rising o er the far blue hills,
But she is gone the music Of whose talking

Sometimes | SEQ the blue bells blooming in The

And tn ink of her blue eyes;

And fall, in thought TO tangna up her hair;
And, sometimes round the sin.ess lips of child.

Breaks forth smile such as she used TO wear.
But never any pleasant thing around, above us,
Seems 10 me like her love
More lofty than the skies that bend and brighten
Ger us,
More constant than the dove
She walks no more beside me in the morning,
She meets me not on any summer eve:
But once, at night, heard low voice calling,

Next year, when larks singing gayly in tn,
shall not hear their tone,
But she, in the dim, fAr-of country Of the stranger

nation OF the pacuniary and moral value Of
these noble production of nature is ,nstillcI

come the common sentiment. Our peoule
must give attention to this subject. sooner or
later and every day. neglect Of this practical
science will entail evils upon us FOR which
years of labor will hardly make amends We
do not, as n people, appreciate the value Of
our forests Neggently, carelesSly and
wantonly We are destroying them on every
side, not considering that in them lies a
mine of untold wealth; for the time comes
with every people when they can turn their
own natural productions to the NEST advar-
tagcous use for themselves, and this law an
plies as firmly to trees as to the coal and
various mineral ores. Yet what ~ .ruction

Thanks relieve the mind and give ease to the
heart. We thank the prOprietors of all the daily
papers for the prominent advertisements Of our
proposed Thanksgiving, and to the editors for
their lucid and clear description of our festival
Any parson being present and then reading their
articles, would call it truthful representation
the scene. Gratitude flows in our hearts to the
families who sent US not the remains of their
Thanksgiving dinner, but made sacrifice of their
time and money in preparing sumptuOus feast
for our scholars. Thanks also to Company
Captain Rice, of the Light Artillery, who sent us
so much of their provisions on Thursday. Ian
guage is small to convey feelings at the sight Of
some of the most respectable ladies' in our city,
who looked so happy in laboring to arrange and
cut up the beef ham, turkey, chicken, pies, &c,
plendfully provided. 1t is great-it is noble, to
see the rich bless the poor Our prayer is, that in
time the poor may be blessing to the rich. Our
Saviour says, Gather up the fragments tina
nothing may be lost" The most of Saturday we
spent in taking portions 10 the sick and infrm, &c
There was happy time afterward, about four
O'Clock, for we hsd invited a number of widows
and poor in our neighborhood to come in and par
take. The table flled with good things was the
length OF our school-room, and when all were set
down there were many happy looking faces, while
the beverage of good tea made them taIkatiye and
pleasant SO that one would think they forgot their
real sorrows in the joys of the festive scene. When
they left for home with few cakes, &c, &C., for
the little ones at home gratitude showed itself in
their looks as well as their words. 1t is likely
meat, tomorrow they will have soup from the re-
mains We state this because some of cur friends
felt at loss as to what disposition would be made
of our blessings
