for me, after lamcness of two years, during
which time the horse was not harnessed.
I have used her on the road and farm for
nine years since the cure. Take one ounce
camphor gum one ounce oil of spike; one
one ounce hartshorn; one ounce spirits Of

fit for use; put it on above the ring, and rub
it in with the finger. Use it twice day

:, TELL ME YE SPIRITS.

" TELL mE fE btlhlIS.
Ye spirits fthe wild woods answer me,
AS here under this bright silver sky,
Tell me of her that has wandered from me,
My Mary, the maid with the bright sparkling
Does she live by yon stream that bright mirrors
Or dwell she in hills where the tempest sweeps
by,
Or here in these meadows where spring flowers
bloom,
Say, where is the home of my Mary, sigh?
Tell me ye spirits, invisible things
That cunningly wander in nights Silly hour,
, Does she walk with you here i'll your rumblcs
about,
Or moves she alone in her own wierd power!
To me sho was once the bright, f.irest Of earth.
The angel of all that loved or could love,
But the messenger came, and my Mary was
borne,
I'm sure, 10 that land where the good 60 above.
Yes, spirits invisible, tell me pray,
Does she think Of mo still, as when mortal on
OIL earth
Docs she tell Of those hours when children we
were, ...,
For children we were at the same happy hearth,
Does she play OIL her harpin the heavenly world,
Those stirring sweet songs that sl. play'd for ME
here!
Docs she bid ne come up TO her spiritual home,
And dwell with her there in her spiritual sphere
Yes child of the dust, we'll kindly inform thee,
Your angel is dwelling in yon upper ~!
She faithfully watches ycur pilgrimage here,
And smiles OH you now us you mournfully cry
But away for this moment, no more we will tell
thee
We come not to earth to commune with the dust,
For if secrets confidcd in us revealed,
Then lnortals would mark us the worst of the
worst!
So bIest are the living who know but the least
Ofall that we are, and of all that we hope,
For such IS the gulf that divides assunder,
That mortals would trenbe if we were to ope
So creature embodied we bid thee away,
The night is now late, and the moon is enchant.

Prune your Orchard.-We prefer the
month Of June for pruning apple trees,
when the leaves keep the sap in motion and
soon heal up the wounds, but if we must
do it any other time we think it best to do
it in March. The wounds caused by cut
ting large limbs, if you find it absolutely
necessary 10 cut largo limbs, will not bleed
so much as they will if cut later in the
spring.-Muine Farmer.

The Alps-Dalk in color, robcd in ever
lasting mourning, forever totter:ng like
fortress shaken by war, fearful AS much in
their weakness as in their strength, and yet
gathered after every fall into darker frowns
and unhumiatcd threatening, for ever in
capable of comfort. or healing from herb or
flower, nourishing no root in their creyices,
touched by no hue of life on buttress or
ledge, but to the utmost desolate; knowing
no shaking Of leaves in the wind nor Of
grass beside the stream-no other motion
but their own mortal shvering, the dread
fu crumbling Of atom from atom in their
corrupting stones; knowing no sound Of
living voice or living tread, chcered neither
10y the kids bleat or marmors cry; haun-
ted only by uninterrupted echoes from afar
off, wandering hither and thither among
their walls, unable to escape, and by the
hiss of angry torrents, and sometimes the
the shrieks of bird that fits near the face
Of them, and sweeps frightened back from
under their shadow into the guilt or air.
And, sometimes when the echo has tainted,
and the wind has carried the sound of the
torrent away, and the bird has vanished,
and the smouldering stones are still for a
little time--a brown moth, opening and
shutting its wings upon grain Of dust, may
be the only thing that moves or feels in all
the waste Of weary precipice, darkening five
thousand feet of the blue depth of heaven
