an appreciation of that last noblest state
of being for which all the rest are but a
preparation. IF we are immortal, is 1t
not well that we should find earth's HOW
ers faded? If we are immortal, Is 1t not
well that we should learn to regret the
passing away of bright capabilities IN our
own nature, which are sure to be renew
ed, extended, multiplied in heaven
The flowers that have been torn up
can never take root again on earth but
nevertheless, there does occasionly occur
events, by which all the pain and agony
that our heart has suffered, in disappoint-
ment of trust or expectation, is more than
made up; and though perhaps the same
flower is not to be refreshed, brighter
plants blossom in its stead, and give us
back our confidence.

CHANGE IN METHODIsTs.

We take the following in reference to
Methodism from the Boston TrareUer
We think the change is not so great as
here assumed -
"Speaking of the Methodists, we are
reminded that this large denomination is
comparatively a new sect. 1t has ele-
ments Of popularity in a new country
which have caused its rapid growth here.
The first preacher of Methodism in the
New World, is said to have been Philip
Embury, a carpenter by trade, who work
ed with his own hands and supported
himself by his labors. He preached his
first sermon in John street, New York,
to an audience of six persons, and the
first class" was formed in 1866. There
are now in New York city, thirty-one
Methodist churches, some of which are
splendid ecclesiastical edifces, with tow
ering steeples, differing but little exter-
nally from the Episcopalian Churches.
The elegance of the Methodist churches
of thepresent day does not offer strong
er contrast to the preaching houses" of
the early days of this numerous sect than
do the education, refinement and manners
of the present race of preachers with
those of the last century. The change
in Methodism has been radical, in their
external conduct at least, and they bear
but small resemblance to what they were
fifty years ago. There are a great many
quaint anecdotes related by Wakeley Of
the early preachers of New York, and
many illustrations are given of the ex-
tremely simple habits of the people.
Bishop Asbury, even so late as 1892
tells that in travelling his circuit he used
to carry a package of tea with him fo1
his own special refreshment, as it was Of
ten difficult to be obtained, and on one
occasion, stopping at a country house, he
gave drawing" to the good woman Of
the house where he stopped, and request
ed her to make him some tea, which she
did, and having carefully drawn off the
water in which it was boiled she brought
him the leaves on plate. There was an
English minister, who preached in John
street, whose name was Whatcoal, who
had remarkable power in commanding
the spirit of the Lord; Once, at love
feast" says Mr.. Wakeley, " as he prayed
he cried, Power! power now, Lore
send the power and the power did come
Oh ! what stream of power came down
Such shouts" he says, 4 never heart
before" Many of the present promin
ent families of New York were once
Methodists, who are now Episcopalians
but there are also, among the leading
members of the rest many of the descen-
dants of those who helped to plant and
water the church IN the wilderness.

a BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Among all the many fine and beauti-
ful figures and modes of reasoning that
the universe in which we dwell has af-
forded for the illustration of the bright
hope that is within lis, of a life renewed
beyond the tomb, there is none more
beautiful or more lovely, or more exquis-
lite, that / know OF, than that which is de-
rived from the seasons: from the second
life that bursts forth in spring in objects
apparently dead, and the things that
would darken our hopes of immortality,
were we not to draw from them inferen-
ce5 of higher state Of being, where
love and confidence, and happiness are
not delusion where the plant of enjoy
ment has not its root in the earth, and
where the flowers of life wither not away.
There are certainly changes in our very
nature which would fill our bosom with
/ many dark and awful doubts, did we not
find that in the well-regulated mind, the
bright and Intoxicating dreams of early
youth from the shadowing forth in the
renovation of every thing around US of
that after destiny which divine revelation
calls upon our faith to believe shall yet
be ours. The trees that have faded and
look grey through the long dreary lapse
of winter, clothe themselves again in
green in the Spring sunshine, and every
leaf and every hue speaks of life. The
birds that were mute sing again as tune
fully as ever the flowers that were tram
pied down and faded, burst forth once
more in freshness and in beauty the
streams break from the icy chains that
held them, and the glorious sun himself
comes wandering back from his far jour
ney giving Summer and warmth, and fer
tility, and magnifcence, 10 every thing
around. All that we see rekindles into
life.
But on the other hand, there are things
within US that are awakened no more
there are feelings in our hearts, that, pas
sed away, return not, there are thoughts
that can never be thought again, there
are hopes that once put out, are put out
forever,-those are the love that has
been crushed and thwarted, the conf
dence that has been thousand times be-
trayed, may give place to firmer and
more solid things, feelings not so exqui-
site, but more deep and powerful
thoughts not so brilliant but more just
and true, did we not find that, with prop.
er cultivation, the flowers made way fol-
fruit did we not find that every stage
of existence would have but for our own
faults, its proper class of enjoyments, and
that very stage but lead us on towards

An Eloquent Extract.

Generation after generation, says a
fine writer, have felt as we feel now, and
their lives Were as active as our own.-
They passed away like a vapor, while ma
ture wore tbesame aspect of beauty as
when the Creator commanded her to be.
The heavens shall be as bright over our
graves as they are now around our paths.
The world will have the same attractions
for our offspring yet unborn, that she had
once for ourselves, and that she now has
for our children. Yet little while and
all this will have happened. The throb-
bling heart will be stilled, and we shall
be at rest Our funeral will win its way,
and the prayers will be said, and our
friends will all return, and we shall be
left behind in silence and darkness for
the worm. And it may be for short
time we shall be spoken Of but the things
of life will creep in, and our names will
sooa be forgotten. Days will continue
to move on, and laughter and song will
be heard in the room where we died; and
the eye that mourned for us will be
dried, and glisten again with joy, and
even our children will cease to think of
US, and will not remember to lisp our
names. Then shall we have become, in
the touching language of the Psalmist,
" forgotten and clean gone out of mind"

OXEN Us HORsEs.-Oxen cost far less
and can be kept cheaper than horses
The wear and tear of the yoke and chain
is less than of a sett of harness, and if an
accident, such as breaking leg, should
occur, he is not dead loss, for, if kept
as he should be, and as any farmer will
find it to his interest to keep his cattle,
he will make beef, while horse in like
circumstances would be dead loss.

Fearful witnesses of God;
Poor man, let not life's expressions
Bend thy soul to craft or clay
Bich man, let not great possessions
pend thee Sorrowful way
From the covenant of thy youth.
Made with liberty and truth.
True man, wheresoe'r thou AFT,
In the Senate, in the throng,
Up and do thy dauntless part,
Now against the nearest wrong
For the days Of generations
That must hear what we have done
For the heritage of nations
Promised long but still unwon-
For that kingdom all victorious
On whose coming faith depends
For the rest that shall be glorious
In its shadow--lorward, friends!

FARM HoRsEs.-A full allowance of
oats for farm horse is fourteen pounds
per day. This may be divided into three
teeds-in the morning, noon and evening.
During winter, farm horses ought to have
warm mash at least three times a week.
This consists of boiled tprnips and chaff'
and boiled barley and oats, and is given
on returning from work in the evening.
Horses are very fond of this kind of food

THE CHILDREN.
BY MARY HowTr.

Beautiful the children's facesl
Spite ofall that mars and sears;
To my inmost heart appealing;
Calling forth loves tenderest feeling;
Sleeping all my soul with tears.
Eloquent the cbildren's faces
Poverty's lean look, which saith,
Save usl save us woe surrounds US;
Little knowledge sore con POUNDS US;
Life is but lingering death.
Give Us light amid our darkness
Let us Know the good from i'll;
Hate us not for all our blin dness;
Love us, lead us, show us kindness
You can make us what you will.
We nre willing, we are ready;
We would learn IL you would teach;
We have hearts that yearn 10 duty
We have minds alive to beauty;
Souls that any nights can reach!
Raise rs by your Christian knowledge;
Consecrute to man our powers;
Let us take our proper station;
We, the rising generation,
Let ia stamp the age Us ours
We shall be what you viii MAKE us
Make us wise and make ~ good
Make US strong in time OF trial;
Teach us temperance, selftdenial,
Peni'ence, kindness, fortitude.
LDk Into our childish faces:
See We not our willing hearts7
Only love us-only lead us;
Only let US know you need us,
And We ull will do our parts,
We are thoussnds-many thousandsi
Every day our ranks increase:
let US march beneath your bann er,
We, the legion Of true honor,
Combating for love and peace!
Train US! try us ! days slide onward,
They can meier be ours again;
Save US! sHve, from our undoingI
Save from ignorance and ruin;
Stake us worthy to be men!
Send us to our weeping mothers,
Angel'stamped in heart aud brow!
We nay be our fathers teachers;
We may be the mightiest preachers,
In the day that dawueth now
Such the chidrens mute appealing,
All my inmost soul was stirred;
And my heart was bowed with sadness,
When a cry, like summers gladness,
Said " The children's prayer is heard "

THE SUMMER.
BY ROSE BEAUMONT.

am longing for the sunshine,
For the green and sunny dells;
Where the little elves ard fairies
Weave Letimes their magic spells;
Longing, iistning for the music
OF the wild bird and the bee.
Waiting for the gentle summer,
With the joyous minstrelsy.
I'm dreaming of the summer,
And know that she is nigh,
By the light clouds floating, sailing.
Like u fleet upon the sky,
BY the warm blush of the sunset.
As it stoops to kiss the plain;
Til again it shall be teeminz,
Pregnant with the golden grain.
am weary, weary watching,
In the glorious summer hours,
For the music Outright waters,
For the perfumes of the flowers,
For the veil ofgold AMI crimson,
On the sky and on the main,
When the summers coronation
Shall he heralded again.
There ase bright eyes slowly dinnins,
Cheeks grown pale and wan with care,
Young hearts sadly, sadly pining
Por the blessed summer air;
There are white hands folding meekly
On tie gently beating breast
HaSten, hasten, smiling summer,
Ere their pulses be at rest,
Bu; we know that she As coming,
BY her steps upon the hills
b. the Joyous song of we leone,
In the rush Of chainless rills;
BY the bending of the tree-tops
As they greet their coming queen;
BY the glistning of the dew-drops,
On the Wild flowers glittering sheen.
