WHAT WE DON'T LIKE TO SEE.-We
don't like to see reaper and mower
left in the field, afterthe seasons work
is done, the wood work to rot and the
iron work to rust-and the whole ma
chincry to go to ruin.
We don't like to sec a plow left in
the field, where it has been used, to
rust and spoil.
We don't like to sec harrow left
where it was last used to suffer injuries
from the weather.
We don't in fact, like to see any farm
cr's tools or implements, or even wag-
ons exposed to sun and rain when not
in use.
All agricultural implements and ma
chinery cost money, and good deal Of
it, and while they will last many years
with care, they will soon be Destroyed by
exposure to the weather. It don't
speak we'll for the good management of
afarmer to see his farm tools lying about
the yards and fields; but it does look
we'll to see every thing of the kind put
sagly under cover Farmer.

REQUIRED.

DR.. Young would state that he has been pro-
fessor Of Obstetrics and Female diseases for the
past fourteen years, and is fully qualified to adj
minister in all both medically and surgicaly,
not in superficial, but in as thorough manner
as years Of study and practice-both in hospitals
and private families-can make. Therefore fam-
lies can rely upon him as upon father. All in
affection can find in him one who can feel and
sympathise with, and befriend them in trouble
one in whose secresy the utmost confidence can be
placed. Come, all ye that are afflicted and in
trouble, and you will be relieved and cured.

May peace be ever with thee, love,
And may her bright and hallowed wing,
Be spread above thy pathway, love,
And joys forever round thee spring,
With no dark cloud above thee. love,
To darken or obscure thy sky,
But ever calm and peaceful, love,
Your hopes fixed firmly up on high.
Though by-gone years have proven, love,
To many sad and weary heart.
That tears and sighs do often, love,
Make up the life the greater part;
And when oppressed by sorrow, love.
The soul it cries out for relief;
But those who give their succor, love,
Oft make us feel more deep our grief;
Keep up thy courage brayely, love,
How oft the morn of life is found;
A type of Natures day spring, love,
With clouds and darkness gathered round
But see! the clouds are driven, love,
Far from the bright cerulean sky,
The day it closes sweetly love,
The sun s bright beams reflected high.
So oft we see the dawning, love,
Of life, with care heavy pail,
Surroun ding all our footsteps, love,
And shadows dark around us fall
But, as we journey on through life,
The clouds disperse and joys are found;
The pail is gone, hope gilds the scene.
Our sun is set with glory crowned.
Hope on, hope ever, dearest one,
The darkest night must have an end;
The God Of day dispels the gloom,
And through the earth his glory sends
So shall thy path in future years
Be bright. though sorrow dimmed the past
Trust thou in God, hope undismayed,
Peace, joy and love are found at last.

POETRY Y.
The Battlefield.

The Battlefield.
By W. c. BRYANT.
Few American poems have gained so much ce
lebritv as this. The eighth stanza, in particular
has a worldwide reputation:
Once this soft turf, this rivulets sands,
Were trampled by hurrying crowd.
And fiery hearts, and armed hands
Encountered in the battle cloud.
Now all is calm and fresh and still;
Alone the chirp of fitting bird,
And talk of children on the hill,
And bell of wandering kline are heard.
No solemn host goes trailing by
The black mouthed gun and staggering vain
Men start not at the battlecry.
Oh, be it never heard again.
Soon rested those that fought; but thou
Who minglest in the harder strife
For truth which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
A friendless warfare lingering long
Through weary days and weary years,
A wild and many-weaponed throng
Hang on thy front, and flank, and rear.
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof,
And blanch not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof
The sage may frown, yet faint thou not.
Nor heed the shaft so surely cast,
The foul and Kissing bolt of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell at last,
The victory of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshipers.
Yes, though thou lie upon the dust,
When they who help thee flee in fear.
Die full of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand thy sword shall WELD,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpets mouth is pealed
The blast of triumph DER thy grave.

M MISCELLANY A
A COntented Farmer.

A Contented Farmer.
Once upon time Frederick, King of Prussia,
surnamed s'Old Fritz" took ride and espied
an old farmer, blowing his acre by the wayside,
cheeriy singing his melody.
"You must be well off, old man," said the
king. s.Does this acre belong to you, on which
You so industriously labor?'
"No, sir, replied the farmer," who knew not
that it was the king; II am not SO rich as that;
| plow for wages"
"How much do you get day?" asked the
king.
"Eight groschen," (about twenty cents) said
the farmer.
"This is not much," replied the king; "can
You get along with this ?"
"Get along and have something left"
s'How is that!'
"The farmer smiled and said
"Well, if must tell you. Two gr0chen are
for myself and wife, two | pay my old debts,
two | lend away and two l give away for the
Lords sake"
"Thls is mystery which l cannot solve," re-
piled the king.
"Then Will solve it for you," replied the
farmer.
II have two old parents at home who kept
me when | was weak and needed help; and now
that they are weak and need help keep them.
Ibis Is my UeUb, tOWdTu WliCI pay tWo RiO-
schen day. The third pair of groschen, which
I lend away, spend for my children, that they
may receive Christian instruction. This will
come handy to me and my wife when we get
old. With the last two groschen l maintain
two sick sisters, whom | would not be compell-
to keep; this give for the Lords sake"
The king, we'll pleased with his answer re-
marked:
"Bravely spoken, old man. Now | will also
give you something to guess Have you ever
seen me before?"
''Never," said the farmer.
s'In less than five minutes you shall see me
fifty times, and carry in your pocket fifty of my
likenesses."
ssThis is riddle which l cannot unravel,'
said the farmer.
"Then will do it for you," replied the king.
Thrusting his hand into his pocket, and count
ing him fifty bran-new gold pieces into his hand,
stamped with his royal likeness, he said to the
astonished farmer, who knew not what was
coming:
"The coin is genuine. for it also comes from
our Lord God, and | am his paymaster I bid
you adieu. German Messenger.

and series of enactments, known as the Com
promise measures of 1850, were placed on the
statute book. By these the law for the rem
dition of fugitives from service was made more
stringent; California was admitted as State
with Constitution prohibiting slavery; a gov
ernment was provided for the territory OF New
Mexico, without any provision on that subject !;
the line OF the Missouri Compromise was ex-
tended through the Northern part of Texas ;
and the trade in slaves was prohibited in the
District of Columbia. The purpose OF these acts
was to dispose, at once OF all the subjects touch
ing which the question of slavery was likely to
be agitated. and thenceforward to exclude that
tonic as matter of legitimate discussion, from
the halls of Congress. In this spirit Mr.. Fill
more accepted them, and, in his message, de-
clared them to be final adjustment in substance
and in principle of the questions to which they
related The State of Virginia, by her Legisla-
ture, expressed her acquiescence; the country
was content, and peace and concord seemed a.
bout to be restored to divided brotherhood
The Democratic Convention that nominated MIR.
Pierce, adopted resolution declaring the tinality
of the settlement, and made it plank in their
platform: the Whig Convention that nominated
Gen. Scott did the same. In his inaugural ad
dress. Mr.. Pierce re-affirned the settlement,
and both in that and in his first message, ex
pressly pledged himself to the country that, by
nothing that he would do, or countenance in the
doing of others, should the distracting question
of African slavery, during his term OF Office, be
obtruded upon the deliberations of Congress.
When Mr.. Pierce entered upon the duties of
his Office, there had been no time since the first
introduction of this mischievous element into
party politics, at which the agitators, in both
sections, were more powerless; their strength
was paralized, and parties were rallying to bring
again to issue, the great questions from which
they had so long been led astray. 1t was at this
iuncture, that the act of 1920, known as the
| Missouri Compromise, was repealed, and through
the flood-gates of Congress, the slavery discus
sion poured its torrents over the land. VI Its
