No Shade Is cast in HEAVIER
For the HiIlsborOugh Recorder.


I've watch'd il in the cottage door,
The sunlight in the even,
And seen dark shadows on the floor,
More than the sunlight in the door,
And wondered il, like earth, shade
Was ever cast in Heaven.
I've seen the sturdy oaks anayd
In pearls by frost>work given;
Each bough was deckd with wreaths Of ice,
.More curious far than mans device,
But strange, the oaks had cas-, shade;
D! is there shade in Heaveni
I've seen the sparkling violet
BY shade and sunshine riven;
Arsy Of light through shade had pass'd,
A shade was Ger my spirit cast,
wonder'd il ihefe ever met.
This light and shade in Heaven.
But precious was the voice that spoke,
A message sweet from Heaven;
Frail doubling one. ia shadows lost,
Why Is thy spirit tempest toss'di
The light that shines but half on earth
Shines oil around in Heaven.
The light Of earth beams from the sky,
No, so the light Of Heaven;
Christ is the lightiof that bright place,
OF shadows dark there is no trace;
Christ Is The light, and this is why
No shade is cast in Heaven."

MELONS.

Melons. squashes ami cucumbers all need
the same general treatment, and require the
same soil. which, il possible, should be rich,
deep loan, and the situation for them in the
garden should be sheltered one. On some
soils melons attain larger growth-as upon
the warm, sandy soils of New Jersey-thsn
farther nurth. but all may, without a great
amount Of trouble. raise their own water and
muskmelons At less expense that they can be
purchased.
Melons cannot be planted until al! risk Of
irost is past; consequently their period OF
growth is shurt. TO hasten this the soil
must be rich aud warm, and after the mel.
ons are planted. box SIX inches high, and a
foot or eighteen inches square placed over
the hill, upon which put frame Of glass, or

these boxes cannot be procured. a single
square oi large sized windov glass placed
upon blocks i've OF six inches from the ground
will answer the purpose.
In or,ler 10 hasten the maturing of melons,
