THE LAST HYMN.

BY THE REV. H. F. LYTE.
"Abide with US, for it is towards evening, an,
the day is far spent."-LuKE: XIV, %.
Abide with me! fast falls the eventide;
The darkness thickens; Lord, with me abide,
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, o abide with me!
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away!
Change and decay in all around see;
Thou, who changest not, abide with me!
Not brief glance beg,-a passing word,
Familiar, condescendent, patient, free,
Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me-
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea,
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as left Thee;
On to the close, o Lord, abide with me!
l need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Oh abide with me
1 fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is Deaths sting? where Grave thy victory?
/ triumph still if Thou abide with me-
Hold Thou Thy cross before my dosing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point to the skies;
Heavens morning breaks, and ear this vain shadow
In life, in death, o Lord, abide with me!

SEtErtEu WISIEIIaI9.
THE ART OF PLEASING.

A modest and virtuous young man on
first going into society, is apt to be sorely
perplexed upon the question, how to make
himself agreeable to ladies. He need not
be ashamed of his perplexity. Washington
Irving, in one of his early sketches confesses
that we'll dressed lady was an object per-
fectly awful to his young Imagination
We were once acquainted with gentleman
of distinction in public life, the father Of
several accomplished daughters, who could
not, even in his fftieth year. enter draw
ing room when ladies were present, without
painful embarrassment. It is certainly a
good sign in young man to stand in some
awe of the beautiful sex. A person Of
coarse and vulgar mind, who thinks more Of
himself than his best friends think of him,
and who knows little the worth of good
woman's heart rushes fearlessly in where an
Irving or an Addison would fear to tread.
How we'll we remember an incident Of
early days, which helped us to overcome
our bashful dread of the society of ladies =
Seated by the side of beautiful girl Of
seventeen, and overwhelmed with consci-
BUSINESS of our inability to say anything to
her which she would care to hear, we chanc-
ed to observe that she too, was trembling
with embarrassment. What a comforting
discovery! We felt as coward feels when
he finds that his enemy is more completely
terror stricken than himself. Addressing
ourselves to the task of diverting our fair
acquaintance, we soon forgot our own, fears
in sympathy with hers. Bear this in mind,
young gentlemen, who blush and stammer
in the company of ladies': The girls are as
much afraid of you as you are of them!
You are awkward in your manners, you
think. IF you think so it is likely that your
fair friend thinks otherwise; for the really
ill-bred fellows that we have known have
never suspected their ill-breeding. And,
after all what is d-breeding but habitual
good nature? The simple fact that you
aoish to please is proof that you possess or
will soon acquire, the power to do so. The
good heart, we'll informed mind will soon
give grace to the demeanor, or will 50 a.
bundantly atone for the want of it, that its
absence will never be noticed. s.
Besides the girls--that is the most of
jthem-like man who is simple in his man
ners, provided they see that there is SUBJ
stance and worth in him. Graceful man
ners and ready wit are good as far as they
20. But be sure of this, o bashful blushing
youth, that both in the society of ladies and
Of men. you will pass in the long run. for
for what you are worth-uo moreno less.
The Art of Pleasing, therefore. is nothing
more than the art of becoming an honest,
kind. intelligent and high-minded man.
Such man, be he graceful as Chesterfield,
or awkward as Caliban, all worthy women
trust and love.

passes into it, with equal facility and with.
out any tax upon the rest of the SYSTEM
This is manifestly an error. All food has
to be ground up before it can be assimilated
and pass into the circulation of the animal.
If food is not arti6cially prepared by cutting,
grinding or steaming, the animal has to
prepare it himself so far as he is able
Certain kinds of food will pass through the
system, imparting to it only part of their
nutriment, because the animal has not per-
fectly musticated it. Whole kernels of corn
or of oats are often seen in the fnces of an
old horse.
The more perfectly food can be prepared,
the more completely will the system appro-
pirate it's nutriment. If the whole labor OF
grinding up the food is thrown upon the an
imal, it is serious tax upon the vital ener-
gy which every good farmer wants for 9th
er purposes. In the case of the horse and
OK, you want the strength applied to loco
motion and draught.
Whatever strength is applied to grinding
food, is so much taken away from their ca
pacity for labor. If three or four hours of
strong muscular labor are spent in working
up hay or straw into pulp, there is great
loss Of strength and of time.
In the case of fattening animals you want
the aliment to 60 to the formation of fat
flesh. This process goes on successfully,
just as the animal is kept quiet and comfor-
table. No useless labor should be expend-
ed in the grinding up of food. The straw
cutter, working up the hay into fragments
of half an inch in length or less, performs a
good part Of the working of the jaws, and
makes the feeding of the animal still light
matter. If the hay could be ground up in
to fine meal it would be still better as it
would make the work of the animal still
lighter, would more completely yield up its
nutriment. If it could be steamed it would
be best of all, as it would then be wholly ap-
propriated.
We have no doubt that it pays quite as
we'll to pass hay thrugh the machine, as the
coarsest fodder. A root cutter is also an
indispensable adjunct to the barn, and the
more perfectly it communicates the roots the
better.
The farmer who has ever experienced with
thasa aaah;1a4a-a4.l,
feeding with hay and roots prepared in this
way, can have no doubt Of their utility
Laziness. we apprehend, has quite as much
to do with these machines as ignorance. 1t
is work to turn the crank to cut up hay e.
nough to feed twenty head of cattle; and In
prospect of spending the elbow grease, it is
very convenient to believe that it will not
pay. Sloth, however, is a poor counsellor
in this case, as in all others. We should as
soon think of feeding them with uncut straw,
A warm stable and strawcutter are both
good investments Go,oard's Register.
