Life In Death.

LIE Is but death $ vestibule: and our
pilgrimage on earth is bat journey to the
grave. The pulse that preserves our bein :
beats our death march, and the blood which
eirculates our life is floating it onward to
the dceps Of death. To-day we see oar
friends in health, Tomorrow we hear of their
decease. We clasped the hand of the stron
man but yesterday, and to-day we close his
eyes. We rode in chariot of comfort but
an hour ago, ana IN a few more hours the
last black chariot must convey US to the
home of all living Oh, how closely allied
is death to life The lamb that sporteth in
the field must soon feel the knife. The OK
that loweth in the pasture is fattening for
the slaughter. Trees do but grow that they
may be ielled. Yea, and greater things than
these feel death. Empires rise and flourish;
they flourish but to decay, they ris, to fall
How often do we take up the volume Of his
tory, and read Of the rise and fall Of empre.
We hear Of the coronation and the death of
kings. Death il She black servant who rides
behind the chariot Of life. See life and
death is close behind, Death reachcth far
throughout this world, and hath stamped
al terrestrial Things with the broad arrow
Of the grave. Stars die mayiap; it is said
that conhagrations have been seen far off in
the distant ether, and astronomers layc
marked the funerals of worlds-the decay
of those mighty orbs that we had imagined
set forever in sockets of silver, TO gisten az
the lamps of eternity. Bat, blessed be God,
there is one place where death is not lie s
5rother-wherc life reisns alone; ''to live
IS not the first syllable which is to be follow
ed by the next, "to die There is Il land
where death-knells are never tolled, where
winding sheets are never woven, where graves
are never dug. Blest land beyond tn. skies

TratssriantiHg Trees. AGAIN.

In reply to many inquiries, US to spring or
fall transplanting, we have the same answer
as heretofore to make, viz that in heavy
clay soils, inclined to be wet through the
winter, spring transplanting is the best. If
otherwsc-that is, a light, loamy or some-
what sandy soil and IN dry situation, au-
tumn is thc best
In transplanting trees, and large ores es-
pecially, in the autumn,let it be done as soon
as possible after the leaves have turned yellow
or have fallen. By 50 ding the roots will
take hold OF the soil before the cold weather
sets il, which will greatly add to their abil-
ity to stand the trials Of winter.
ErrrJreens should not be moved in the
fall From the miIll, of March to the mid
die Of April is undoubtedly the nick of time
for them. When removed at that time thero
is more certainty in their growing than any
other dacduous tree Of which VIC have any
knowledFa.
Upon the manner of transplanting all
trees, however. roorc depends than upon any
other consideration. Unless large holes are
madc-sood soil proyided--the roots spread
naturally out-the tree set no deeper than it
stood in the nursery-propcrly watered and
staked-there can be no ertain expectation
of the growing, and particularly of the
thriving of the tree Germantown Tele-

Hungarian, NIiliet and Barn
Grass. Which js ReSfe

We suppose that some of our readers in
Maine have cultivated that species of millet
called the Hungarian grass, small parcels of
the seed of which wore sent to many, by our
members of Congress, from the Patent
Office
We should like to hear the result. We
have had doubts whether we have not ma
tive grass, which is equally as good as the
Hungarian tnillet.
In saying this, we do not wish to dispar-
age the Hungarian mllet, but we wish to
hint to many, that if our barn grass. which
belongs to the same family of plants, wore
cultivated as well as the millet is, it ould
yield nearly or q ute as good a product eth
or as hay crop OF grain crop. 1t is true
that we look upon it as q sort of pest in our
cultivated grounds. The seeds when once I'M
the ground will lie there for years, prescrv-
ing their germinating powers, and will When
the ground is newly plowed, start up and

In dry season, and on gG5d soil, it will
produce more than most of the grasses that
we cultivate, Horses and cattle like it
when the seed is in the milk. Horses and
poultry like the seeds. There is as much
farinaceous matter in the seeds in proportion
to its size or weight as in some of the cult.
waited grains.
We do rot wish to be understood by these
remarks to say that it is equal to the Hunga-
rian mtllet, for we d. not know from
experience OF observation of our own in
regard to the comparative merits of either.
But we call the attention of those who have
cultivated the millct, TO the other, and to
institute some comparisons, if not too late,
and let us know the results

UNDER TIE RosE.' - WHAT II
MEANs.-This proverbial expression, like
most others that have been long in use,
cannot be traced with absolute certainty
TO its origin, but can only be made the
subject Of cor lectures more or less prob
able. Some of these conjectures are as
! follows:
t |. 1t was once customcry for the PopcS
to consecrate roses, and use them as
presents, inexpensive to the giver but
of great price in the eyes Of the crcdul-
Gus receiver. From this originated the
practice of Placing roses over the doors
of conlessionals. and as the most pro-
found scc@csy was there observed, the
rose soon became an emblem of secresy !:
.. The expression took ITS origin from
the adoption of red and white roses as
the respective cmblems of the houses of
York and Lancaster, during the bloody
wars with which they desolated Eng
land. These opposite emblcms we're the
signs of the taverns near the Parliament
House IN Westminster, where the head
quarters of the Two factions; and as
measures OF annoyance or of defence were
adopted in secret conclave at one or the
other of these tavcrns. everything secret
was said to be done under the rose
8. 1t is certain, however, that the rose
was the emblem Of secrcsy long before
contessionals were established. or York
ers ard Lancasterians plotted against
each other. Harpocratcs, the Roman
God OF Silence, was represented as a
young man, with one finger placed on
his lips, and rose in the other hand
1t was said that Cupid gave him the rose
to bribe him from betraying the amours of
Venus. The ancients therefore sculp-
tured a rose over the doors or on the
ceilings Of their festive halls, as a hint
to guests that nothing which was said in
moments of conviviality was to be re-
peated elsewhere. Some instances of the
same practice are to be found in modern
buildings. 1t was in the pavilion ofan
Amsterdam burgomaster 5 country seat,
and beneath stucco rose which orna-
mented the ceiling, that William III.
communicated to his host and another
burgomastcr his intended invasion of
of England. In the dining room cf the
Bear Club in Birmingham, England,
there was once a carved rose in the cea-
ire Of the ceiling. urder which it is said
the Jaeobite members of the club, in Its
early days, used to drink as their first

The Wings of Death.

Our wretchedness and Gods mercy ar
the two wings on which our prayer aseends
to heaven. LIT US consider, first, how short
our life is; how slippery the way, and how
uncertain the hour Of our death; that We
came into the world weeping, that we pass
al 5ng in it with sorrow, and shall quit il
with anguish. Let us consider what bitter
ness is mingled with its highest delights,
and how deccitfal and treacherous is every
thing which comes from the love of the
world. 1T us think what unnumbereI
evils lie heavily upon mankinl at large. and
what dun eers have threatened US in Elrticu-
lar. Let US remember how many sin, we
have committed from our youth up; how
much worthless labor we have performed;
how often We have toilal for nothing; what
W. have found, and what We have lost.
where We are and from whence we have fall
len. What can urg3 us to PRAYER more
strongly than such considerations? On the
other hand, what can more swcct.Y attract
us to it than the mercy Of our Creator,
which we never cease to experience ?-lIow
much good he has shown us, and from how
much evil he has delivered US Let us con-
slider how he reminds Us o himself when we
forget him; how he calls us back when we
forsake him. how graci5usy he receives us
when We come to him. how he forgives us
when we are penitent; how he upholds US
when W. stand, and how he raises us when
We fall how he brings bitter sorrow out of
our sinful pleasures, and heavenly consola-
ton cut of our sorrow Sar,,y, il we con-
slider all this, our hearts will be inaamed for
prayer.

In review of the autobiography

born who claims to think, and act. and
speak for HIMSELF but society soon Wells
him down: and he yanishes: or. If he be
worth his money, society buys him up.
and makes of him a useful oficial-a
mighty rcd-tapist, a judge, or a bishop.
Who shall say that society is wrong

GATHERING THE POTATOES Our expert =.
ence and observation with regard to the dig
ging and preserving of the potatoe, would
lead us to th3 conclusion that it is of great
Importance that the potatoe should be put
under cover as soon as possible after taken
from the ground. The exposure in heaps or
in carts, to hot SUM- for even an hour or
Two, is injurious. We should therefore pre-
Ter a corered cart Or wagon, into which to
deposit them at once from the rows; and we
should also greatly prefer burying in dry
locations in the field, protected against too
much moisture, and duly ventilated, to any
other mode of keeping. At any rate, ifput
in barn-cellars OF cellars under the mansion.
they should lie we'll covered with old carpets,
