When the sun is setting golden,
Setting crimson in the west,
stsining all the SKY round him,
Purple, ruby, amethyst;
When his glories burn 50 brightly,
Fer be vanishes from sight,
That the forest stands transfgured,
an the splendor Of the light:
Then seek with hurried footsteps,
Once again the rivers side,
Gazing with an eager longing,
Far across its CLASSY tide,
Where its waters like q crescent,
Curving'far into the land,
Seem to meet the blue above them,
Hiding all the farther strand.
Rising slowly from its bosom,
Cleaning rosy through the mist;
Lies a tree omb0wered island,
Which the parting sun has kissed
Graceful forms are fitting lightly,
Meath the ever waving trees;
LIQUID tones Of sweetest music,
Flutter to me on the breeze.
And they call to mo in accents
ILave heard in days Of yore.
Ere they sought the spirtmansions,
Fer they pressed the spirit shore;
And still my pulses tbrobbing,
Last ! lose some precious word;
AuiI clide TIE murmuriag waters,
By passIu. zephyr stirred.
And they backon to- me fondly,
Beck5n each with shining hand;
But the foot ofliviny mortal,
May not press that mystic strand.
When the crimson doepens purple,
And the purple pa'es to gray,
Then the white mist gathers thickly,
And the island fades away.
Never eyes bu. mine have seen il,
Never ears but mine have heard
Those soft tones, whose liquid music,
Living memories have stirred.
And my heart has been kept tender,
Softened by the holy smile
OF the angel ones at evening
Gathered on the Sunset Isle.

Potatoes Va. Corn.

At a recent meeting of the Wa:erville
Farmers Club,the subject for discussion
was "Hoed Crops" Some valuable
facts were elected. The ques ton being
which is the more profitable, corn or po-
tatoes. it was decided that potatoes
yielded the most profit. This decision
may not seem fair one to many, but in
its decision, the Club were governed by
figures and facts which we're incontro-
vertible. The Mail gives US the follow
ing as the summing up Of the matter -
Col. Marston, as usual, was ready
with facts and figures, which were VIC
torious, as they ought ever to be, over
mere "guess work" In the opinion Of
those present. 80 loads of manure, val
ued at s 90 a load, are applied to corn
as often as 10 are to potatoes. One
third of this extra manure 20 divided
by Sc 2-3)-six and two thirds loads
was supposed to be absorbed by the
corn crop, the value of which was esti-
mated at S6,67. To this it was thought
should be added for hauling and spread
ing the extra manure thus absorbed,
81 ,33; with three dollars for applying
10 loads in the hill instead Of broadcast;
and two dollars for extra labor Of hoe
ing the corn making in all charge
against the corn crop Of thirteen dollars.
The harvesting and husking of the corn
was set against the digging of the pota-
toes: and the fodder was estimated at ten
dollars.
Now. for the last ten years, the aver
age yield of corn, with the Colonel, had
been 81 bushels per acre; and the aver
age price 90 cents making the average
receipts thirty-6ve dollars and ffty-two
cents; while the average yield of pota-
toes, in the same time, had been 80
bushels; the average price SO cents; and
the average receipts forty-one dollars
fifty-two cents-reckoniny nothing for
the small ones and those partially decay
ed, that were fed to stock.
''Here was a difference in receipts, as
will be readily seen, of S5,4s in favor
of potatoes; which added to the extra
manure and cost of cultivation, minus
the value of the fodder Q3-lO.3)
makes SS,43. Now deducting 81 ,48
from this, for difference in cost of seed,
and the result is in favor of the potatoes.
to the amount Of 800 per acre"
Discussions like the above will be
found very profitable to our Farmers
CLUBS. There are many crops whose
comparative profits it would trouble
many even of our best farmers to deter
mine, The only way is oy hearing and
comparing the evidence for and against.
and showing the figures to back up the
statements made. There is nothing so
convincing as the footings of the debt
and credit accounts, and a balance on
the nron9 side will do more to settle the
question under debate than hours Of talk
ing and acres of guesswork. Me Farmer.

SPANISH Proverbs. We give our
readers the use of The following Spanish
proverbs, with the remark that while
they may be adapted to Spain we do not
think they will find response in many
hearts in this country.
Love is born of nothing. and dies of
everything.
Love is born Of everything, and dies
of nothing.
In love the virtuous woman SAYS no.;
the passionate says yes; the capricous
says yCs and no; the coquette neither yes
nor no.
Reason is the only, the last resource of
love.
Love is the occupation of the unoccu-
pied.
Love is a disease that has three pe,-
ods: desire, possession and safety.
Love is the king Of the young and the
tyrant of the old.
Love is the sun of the soul.
Love never dies Of hunger. but some,
times it dies of Indigestion.
Const ,ncy is a whim of love.
Love. while it frequently corrupts
pure hearts, often puriiss corrupt hearts.
Woman loves more than man because
she sacrifices more.
Woman loves or abhors; man admires
or despises.
Woman loves with her heart; man
with his head.
The ignorant love too much; the man
Of talent too little.
Love gives understanding to woman,
and takes it away from man.
Weak souls love all; tender souls love
one object well.
