BEAUTIES OF SHADOWS.

TIE stadosrs all day long play at silent
games of beauty. Everything is double, if it
stands in light. The trees see an unrcvealed
and muffied self lying darkly along the ground.
The slender stesAs of flowers, golden rod, way
side asters, meadow daisies, and rare lilies
(rare and yet abundant, in every nice, level
Aleadow.) cast forth dim and trereulous line
Of shadows that lies long all the morning,
shortening till noon, and creeping out again
all the afternoon until the sun shoots it as far
eastward in the evening, as the sun shot it
westward in the morning. A million shadowy
arrows such as these spring from Apollos gol-
den bow of light at every step. Flying in
every difeetions they cross interlaeing each
other in soft network of dim lines.
Meanwhile the clouds drop shadow-like
snehoEs, that reach the, ground. but will not
hold ! every browsing creature, every fitting
bird, every moving team, every unconscious
traveller writes itself along the ground III dim
shadow.-H w. Beecher.

10 THE RICH.

Those who have riches will do well to pom
tder over these lines~by Ruskin, which may
help them ascertain whether their wealth is
nksfy To prove q blessing or curse.
The only question, therefore. respecting not
/; only the advantage, bit esen the quantity, of
national wealth, resolves itself finally into one
of abstract justice. II is impossible to con-
sclude, of any given mass of acquired wealth
merely of the fact of existence, whether il
signifies good or evil To the nation in the
midst of which il exits Its real value de-
peRls on the moral sign attached to it. Just as
steFBty as that of a mathematical quantity de-
Pends ON the algebraical sign attached to it.
Any given accumulation of commercial
wealth may be indicative, on the one hand of
faithful industries, progressive energies, and
productive ingenuities or. on the other, it
may be Indicative of moral luxury, merciless
tyranny, ruinous chicane.
Some treasures are heavy with human
tears, Us an illsiored harvest with untimeIy
rain J; and some gold is brighter in the sun
shine than it is in substance. And these are
not. observe, merely moral or pathetic attri-
kutes Of fieltes; which the seeker of riches

and sternly, material attributes OF riches, de-

Count what? Why count the mercies that

every period of your history. Down they
core, every morning ard every eyehingt as
angel messengers from the Father Of light to

you lived these years wasting mercies, tread

every day, and never yet realized from whence
they came? "Do you ask what are these mer-

HAPPINESS,

Now let me tell you a seeret-a secret
worth knowing. This looking forward for en-;

should as soon chase butterflies for living,
or bottle up moonshine for cloudy nights
The only true way to be happy, is to take
drops of happiness as God gives them to us
every day of our. lives. The boy must learn
to be happy while he is piodding over his les
sons; the apprentices while learning his trade
the merchant while he is making bis fortune
If he fails to learn this art he will be sure te
miss his enjoyment when he gains what he

Planting Trees in the Fall.

We find that transplanting fruit trees in the
fall is preferred by many; so fer as it relates to
apples and cherries. For pears ard small
fruits, spring is better. Our own experience
would make the locality, rather than the sea-
son, the guide in making the selection. In
uplands or other lands Of naturally dry, sill
cious nature, we should choose autumn; but
in moist, heavy, or agiliaeeous soils, spring
is undoubtedly the best, without reference to
the variety of the fruit And we should adopt
this course whether in regard to shade or fruit
trees always excepting the evergreens, which
we do not think do nearly so we'll in fall as
spring.
Fhe best time to transplant in the fall is as
soon as the trees are done growing, which can
be determined by the change of the leaf. By
this early operation the roots have time to
seize upon the soil before winter sets in. and
the tree is thus ready for an early start III the
spring, and is also hetter prepared TO stand the
severities of winter. Large trees, especially
should be transplanted very early, or not unit
the ground is frozen hard.-[Ger Telegraph.

~ q. czxETos EREscB
Yenr after year, at morn and eve,
Wesd heard the milk mans cry,
And fs3tened 70 his old time song,
- iighsiy ne passed By
Dor pelting rain, nor driving Storm
Nor villkerss chilly blast,
C0nfd stay his sefni-daily round,
zh0agh fourscore years he'd passed
One morn we missed the old mans song,.
His foot-fan spoke . change;
Ana in his hosrse and hurried speech,
Was something sadly strange
we eueried In our child ish minds,
what made the old man soS
Had hoary age purioined his joy,
A6d nlied his cup with woeY
We hoped ere he would come again,
His welcome song to hear,
And dnd that wild look zone again,
Tfsns hlIed our hearts with fear
he came once more but not the friend
We'd loved and cherished long
A vacant stare his smile had robbed,
Forgotten was his song
Long weeks, when mAtin-bird was heard,
Or evening vesper low
We thought OF our old milk man gone,
And pleasures long ago
Vague fancies of hoEel dark,
0ur sportiye hours would shrons
1Ed fears that some dark fate he'd met,
His stay had been SO long.
We found his hut by chance one day,
And timIdly drew near
Il looked not like tho home Of man
We turned away in fear
Our voices reached the drunkard g ear,
He knew the sound again
And reeling from his bed of strES.
Bade as within his dem
The moisture dirimed his Rery eye,
When he beheid our fear
And zEzeIn 'Fies OF the long ago,
