Thy Will be Done.
JOHN G. WHITTIER.

We see not, know not; all our way
Is night with Thee alone is day.
From out the torrents troubled drift,
Above the storm our prayer we lift,
Thy will be done
The flesh may fail, the heart may faint,
But who are we to make complaint,
Or dare to plead in times like these
The weakness Of our love of ease?
Thy will be done
We take with solemn thankfuness
Our burden up, nor ask it less,
And count it joy that even we
May suffer, serve. or wait for Thee.
Whose will be done!
Though dim as yet in tint and line,
We trace Thy pictures wise design,
And thank Thee that our age supplies
The dark relief of sacrifice.
Thy will be done!
And if III our unworthiness,
Thy sacrifcial wine we press,
II from Thy ordeal's heated bars
Our feet are scanned with crimson scars,
Thy will be done!
If, for The age to come, this hour
OF trial hath vicarious power,
And, blest by Thee, our present pain
Be Liberty's eterna gain,
Thy will be done
Strike, Thou, the Master, We Thy keys,
The anthem of the destin;es
The minor of Thy loftier strain
Our hearts shal breathe the old refrain,
Thy will be done

whether Sally stoops or Bob climbs .on a

To our mind it is perfectly unaccounta-
bic that men of education and refinement,
preachers of the gospel will lend their
sanction to this coarse vulgarity, but SO it
is They become so excited in their oppo
sition dancing, without kissing, that they
forget all rules Of christian courtesy; but
dancing accompanied. by promiscuous kis-
sing is the pet amusement Of the church
militant. We are gravely asked what
we should think Of an account Of one of
the Apostles whirling Mary Magdalene
around room in waltz. Well what
would we all think Of a description Of Pc
ter kneeling on one knee in the center Of
room half full of people and taking Mary
Magdalene on the other knee and kissing
her twenty times to pay forfeit and re-
deem his pocket knife? What should We
think of the whole possy Of them going
through the march quadrille to the tune
Of "Dear Sister Phoebe" while Mary the
mother of James went around the room and
kissed every man in it by way Of amusing
the company? We are we'll nigh out Of

afraid to let young folks go to neighbours

they should be under the influences of re-.

Promiscuous Kissing.

The clergy and church members gener-
ally have special aversion to dancing,
that is, to men and women, or boys and
girls dancing together, provided the
amusement end in dancing. But they
may go through any number of dancing
figures and motions to tho sound of music
and it is all right, provided it be topped
off with promiscuous kissing. 1t is much
to be regretted that religious people do not
mingle more with the young in their eve
ming amusements, 50 that they might judge
intelligently of what they judge SO per-
emptorily. In nineteen cases out of
twenty where dancing is banished on re-
Ggious grounds its place is supplied by
plays which embrace more or less of tho
figures and motions Of popular dances ; and
which in addition, require every man and
boy to kiss every woman and girl in the
room and vice versa, ad Hbitum. What
led US first to propose dancing in St. Cloud
as an evening amusement was to have it
take the place of those kissing rough and
tumbles out of which lady was fortunate
il she came with whole clothes and it
has, in great measure, superseded them (;

Pork FOR CB1cAao.-The. Messs
Bell, of St. Paul, have, during the will
ter, sent large quantity of pork to CHI
cage, and made fair profit on the same.
The price fer hauling to La Crosse, was
one dollar per hundred, which is quite
heavy tariff on our farmers, especially
when we add the charges by railroad from
La Crosse. We should not be isurprisd
if this same pork, after being brought
from the vicinity of St. Cloud and sent b
Chicago via St. Paul and La Crosse, should
eventually reach the mines of Superior /
This is but one of hundred argumentsin
favor of railroad to Lake Superior, =
Farmer g. Gardener.
Yes, sir; and is this not an argument
that said road should reach the Mississp-
pi at St. Cloud, and be extended on back
through Meeker County to the Minneso-
ia River, or down through the centre Of
the State? The great object of Supe-
pior road is to carry the agricultural prod
ucts Of the State to Superior; and the
road should of course be made to that
point where those products can be collec-
ted with least expense to the producer.
This point is St. Cloud.

I see notice going the rounds in the
papers, to the effect that horses fed upon
Hungarian grass have died from its effects !;
Edward CLARK of Nicollet, in this county,
has lost two horses recently, and attributes
the cause wholly to Hungarian grass. Mr..
G. says that the seeds of the grass do not
digest, and form ball in the stomach of
horses, which causes inflammation. Farmers
should take warning and not feed this
grass unless the seeds are first threshed

BEEs.-Mr. Chadderdon, of Belle PLANE
is engaged largely in the business ef keep
ing bees. Last year he had about one
hundred swarms, from which he sold eli ght
hundred pounds of honey. The price OBJ
tanned, ranged from sixteen to twenty cts.
per pound, at Wholesale. In 1859 he sold
two thousand pounds, having killed many
Of the bees for the honey. At present he
raises more bees and sells less honey. Hav-
ing lost but one swarm during the winter,
it would seem that our climate is we'll
adapted to the raising Of bees. The only
difficulty Mr.. G. has experienced is owing
to the accumulation Of frost in the hive,
generated during the coolest weather from
the breath of the bees. On the approach
of warm weather, this frost produces damp
ness, and consequent destruction among
the bees. OF late he had avoided this by
ventilation from the top, box being used
into which the damp air escapes, and be-
comes condensed and Grrdener
