Try THE Hay CAPs.-The first man that
Ventured to wear an umbrella, was hooted
through the streets of London, and those who
introduced the use of hay caps, encountered
almost as much ridcule. But they have con-
tinued to win their way each season those
who have tried them, assure us of their great
benefit. The damage prevented during a single
storm has ia many instances more than repaid
the first cost. Now is the time to provide
them, before the hurry of haying and harvest,
leaves no leisure for any business. away from
the farm.

How ga NOVA smile wreathes the liD of
our veteran farmer, as be reads the heading
of this article. Car an Editor teach me any
thing new in Nizt line Oh no, sir, perhaps
not, but let Us Liut 4 word or two to your
Sons, or to some young men who have not such
skillful fathers to teach them. We want them to
learn this art Alright, then they will never for
get it.
This is one the most fatiguing operations of
farming and the more so, as it has to be done,
in very warm weather Any hints to tighten
the labor will be very useful. IN the first place
then, rise early and begin before sunrise. BY
doing so, and having your scythe sharpened
and in perfect order the night before yOn may
get half days work done by nine o'clock
The GOODNESS of the morning air, and the dew
CA the grass, will both help along the labor
at nine o'clock, you may retire to the house,
or to some shady tree, and rest yourself for
several hours, while your slow neighbor is
sweating through the mid day, and perhaps
hurting himself by over,work and by taking
down large draughts Of cold drink to alIay bis
thirst. Between two and three o'clock you
may begin work again, refreshed and vigorous
and may labor till sunset with little fatigue.
BY all means keep the scythe constantly in
good order Let it be adapted to the surface
of the ground to be moved. If that is level
and free from distractions, the scythe may be
long and almost straight, andit will work easy
If Ae ground is broken, or covered with stones
Or low stumps, the scythe must be short and
crooked.
While the snath should not be too heavy,
neither should it be so light as to trembIe and
shake in the mowers hand also, let it never
become loose from the blade, as this will cause
il to. catch on every obstruction and require
great waste Of strength to make it cut. Many
young movers, in their haste to get over a
certain piece of ground, often worry themselves
by this little neglect
1t is very pleasant to now in company, but
young and inexperienced mowers should be
careful how they pit themselves against the
brawny arms of older and stronger workmen.
Many promising young man has been injured
for life by the ambition to be thought great
mower
Hoping that our young laborers will be care
tal when following close to each other we com
meua them to their noble work, and hope they

twice so that every is securely fastened All wholly
independent of all the other stitches for strength so that
if the seam IS cut every fourth stitch broken the sew

Two brOthers aged respectfully thirteen
and sixteen years, were drowned in Lake
EriO, July eth, while Iathing. The calamity
occurred on the East Cleveland coast, near
which was a Sunday School celebratiOn.-
Their parents were absent at the time, and
did not return for two days.
There was a deep wall OF sorrow,
Il was RleW, heart-heayed cry;
A stanchlng OF q f0unt OF hope,
And q dark ming OF the sky
Childhood, youth aud age, were gathered
Their ffee voices there TO raise,
And beside fair Erieh waters,
They sang our Redeeiner's praise,
JovOaIly their hearts were beating,
10 the music OF the day,
with that which the summer fOuneth,
OF bird and breeze while at play.
Thus the hours few swiftly onward,
Hours OF peace, and joy, and mirth;-
And men thought not that ere twilight,
They TO darkness would give birth.
OH Il came with swift dark vengeance,
Crushing heart, and m0ist'ning eye,
While the blue waves curled In mOOk'ry-
Loudly hissed, then glided by
Have the bowed and aged ihllenl
The ripened sheavos, full Of yearss
Or they the dewy how'rets,
That grew with mothers tearsf
Nay; but on lifes fair, blooming side,
He, who sixteen springs had trOd,
And he, OF thirteen, In ihe tide
Were quickly snatched 20 meet their God
Consolation, TO you, parenisl
In this dark, dread hour Of woe.
For those dearly loved ones Of yours,
Whom no more on earth ye know.
Look upward, with an eye Of Faith,
Onward; till all pain Is passed.
The Soli doth live Immortality,
Then be blessed with them at last.
Thus ever in this changing life,
'Tis joy, hope anG misery;
We're called 10 battle In the strife,
And the prize-Eternity.
