Mid rarest treasure wreaked around.
How much we've missed, how little found
Once from Lifrs miSer hand we bought
Jey, wilder than our widest thought,
But al, she kept the joy We sought
For no new gift we still NAV bow;

The Though.lesS Vow.

Sae loved him-but she Needed not
Her heart had only room for pride:
All other feelings were forgot,
When she became another'S bride.
As from dream she then awoke,
To realize her lonely state,
And own it was the vow she broke
That left her drsar and de'olate
She loved him--but the slanderer came,
With wordsbf hate that all believed;
A stain thus rested on his name
But he was wronged and she deceived |!
All rash the act that gave her hand,
That drove her lover from her side
Who hied him to distant land.
Where, battling for name, he died!
She loved him-and his memory now
Was treasured from the world apart:
The shade of thought was on her brow,
The seeds of death were in her heart.
For all the world that thing forlorn
could not, could not be. and live
That caskst with its jewel gone,
A bride who has no heart to give.

As natural consequence of this

inmate of their house, and very soon
the burning passion Of love awoke,
for the first time, in the throbbiDg

minated forever the insane impulse Of
secretiveness, by throwing into the
tremulous scale of her understand

A severe and protracteG conflict

TEE LIGHT AT HOME
The light at homeI how bright it beams

-
The light at homel how bright it beams
When evening shades around MS fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, and rest, aud comfort all;
When wearied with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at home
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward flies,
H ow cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies!
1t is the light of home. He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there;
And safely through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that ravished are
Around the light at home
Tho light at home! how still and sweet
Il peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls of day are DER )!
Sad the soul that does not know
The blessings tha. the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home!

SMALL GRAIN.--The excessive wet
weather that we have had during the
present winter, with the constant TO-
tation Of freezing and thawing, makes
it necessary for US to call the atten-
ton OF our agricultural readers to
their small grain fields and meadows
Examine all the water furrows, and
where there is any standing water
take spade or strong hoe and let i
of, for where you keep water thii
winter you will have no grain or grass
next summer.

purchase; but, following the dictates
lalike of patriotism and true wisdom,
he permitted those seruples to be
borne down by the great and over
whelmniog political necessity, which
demanded our acquisition Of the
Louisiana Territory. Notwithstand-
ing bis strong French sympsthies and
his vehement antipathy to England;
he was ready to form close alliance
with the latter with a view of pre-
venting by force of arms, should
it become necessary, France from
taking possession Of New Orleans,
l"There is one spot on the globe"
[ he wrote to the u. S. Minister at
Paris, ''the possessor of which is cur
natural and habitual enemy. That
spot is New Orleans. France. plac-
ing herself in that door, assumes
to US the attitude Of defiance. The
day that France takes possession
seals tie union of two nations,
who in conjunction, can maintain
exclusive possession of the ocean.
From that moment we must marry
ourselves to the British feet and ma
fion. We must turn all our attention
to maritime force, and make the
first cannon in Europe the signal
for tearing up any settlement French
NAV have made.
We return for a moment, to the
views entertained and expressed by
the Massachusetts Fedcralists, of for
mer days, in regard to State rights
"Not only did they talk strongly
of secession, but they intimated
the possibility that they might resort
to the State-rights IT inedy Of naA: :
featiOa! As they had formerly rep
udiated, they did not directly assert
the claim OF n power in the State
Legislatures, as set forth in the
famous resolutions of Virginia and
Kentucky to nullify by acts Of their
own, the unconstitutional Legislation
of Congress. But they maintained,
what come to much the same thing
in practice, ''that it was both the
right and the duty of the State
courts, and cf the State Legislature
acting through the State courts, tc
take care that no usnrped and
unconstitutional power was exer-
cised within their jurisdiction, by
the Federal GorernDre,.t or any body
else"
"Tkis was in 1914. And about
the same time a joint committee
Of the Massachusetts Legislature
made report in which they said:
+ The sovereignty reserved TO the
States was reserved to protect the
citizens from acts Of violence by the
United States, as well as for purpose
of domestic regulation. We spurn
the idea that the free, sovereign and
independent State of Massachusetts,
is reduced to mere municipal cor
poration, without power to protect
its people or to defend them from
oppression, from whatever quarter it
comes. Whenever the national COM
pact is violated, aud the citizens OF
.his State oppressed, by cruel ard
unauthorized enaNments, this Legis-
lature is bound to interpose its pow
er and to wfest from the oppressor
its victim. This is the spirit of orr
Union, and this il has been explain
ed by the very man { Madison, in
the Virginia resolutions of '9S) who
now sets at defiance all the prinei-
pies Of his early political life.''

A Pretty COnceit.

We saw, yesterday, in the parlor
of friend, very beautiful coneeit.
1t is of course the fancy of lady.

forth green blades, bright, beautiful
ind refreshing. For a little thing
we have seen nothing that SO pleased
us with its beauty and novelty
And the secret is this: the burr was
found dried and opened; the differ
ent circles were spIinkled with grass
seed, and it was placed in a wine
glass, and water in as above. In a
few days the moisture and nourish-
ment gave the burr life and health,
the different circles closed and buried
within themselves the grass seed, and
a few days more gave to the seed al.
ST. life, sprout and growth, and now q
pyramid of living green, beautifully
relieved by the sombre hue Of the
burr, is the result-as pretty and
novel a parlor ornament as We have
for a long while seen. We DO not
know whether the idea was origina
with the lady, but we do know that
its success is bsautiful.-Troy Times
