BY S. J. ROW.
AN INDEPENDENT FARMER.

Let sailors sing of the windy deep,
Let soldiers praise the armor,
But in nv he1rt this toast I'll keep
The Independent Farmer;
When first the rose. in robe of green,
Unfolds its crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle twining.
When banks of bloom their sweetness yield
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
Where skies aresoft and baImy.
The black bird clucks behind his plow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides behind its bough
The home he loves so dearly;
The grey old barn whose doors unfold
His anple-store in measure
More rich than heaps of boarded gold,
A precious, blessed treasure;
But yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all the lands
The Independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingIy,
To him the Summer bushes,
The Autumn smiles with mellow ray,
He sleeps Old Winter bushes;
sHc cares not how the world lay move,
No doubts nor fears confound him
His little flock are liked in love,
And household angels round him;
He trusts in God, he loves his wife,
Nor grief, nor i'll may harm her
He's natures nobleman in life
The Independent Farmer.

THE Heartfelt any one, while sitting
down. place the left leg over the knee of the
right one. and permit it to hang freely, aban-
doning all muscular power over it. Speedily
it may be observed to sway forward and back
through limited space at regular intervals.
Counting the number of those motions for any
given time, they will be found to agree exactly
with the beatings of the palse. Every one
knows, that at fire, when the water from the
engine is forced through bent hose, the ten
dency is to straighten the hose land if the
bend be sharp one, considerable force is
necessary to overcome the tendency. Just so
1t is in the case of the human body. The ar
teries are but system of hose through which
the blood is forced by the heart. When the
leg is bent, all the arteries within it are bent,
too, and every time the heart contracts, the
blood rushing through the arteries tends to
straighten them and it is the effort which
produces the motion of the leg alluded to.
Without such occular demonstration, it is
difficult to conceive the power exerted by that
exquisite mechanism. the normal pulsations
OF which are never perceived by him whose
very life they are.

FRosr MUsIC.-I was once belated in Canada
on fine winter day, and was riding over the
hard snow on the margin of wide lake, when
the most faint and mournful wall that could
break solemn silence seemed to pass thro'
me like dream. | stopped my horse and
listened. For some time | could not satisfy
myself whether the music was in the air or in
my own brain. l thought of the pine forest
which was not far off; but the tone was not
harp-like. and there was not a breath Of wind.
Then it sweled and approached and then it
seemed to be miles away in a moment and
again it moaned, if under my very feet. 1t
was in fact, almost under my feet. 1t was the
voice of the winds imprisoned under the pail
of ice suddenly cast over them by the peremp-
tory power of the frost. Nobody there had
made air holes tor the place was wilderness;
and there was no escape for the winds, which
must moan on till the spring warmth should
release them. They were fastened down in
silence; but they would come out with an ex-
posion, when, in some still night, after a
warm spring day, the ice would blow up, and
make crash and a racket from shore to shore
So was told at my hosts that evening, where
| arrived with something of the sensation Of
haunted man. 1t had been some time before
the true idea struck me, aud meanwhile the
rising and falling moan made my very heart
thrill again.

Poor FELLOW 1T is not an uncommon
thing to hear city-bred exquisites say they
do not like the country. They car endure
Nature for a week or so but after that she is
bore. They find rural life SO fearfuly dull
mo theatre, no restaurants, no politics, no
small talk, nobody to admire the well-cultiva-
ted moustache and latest novelty in tailoring,
no hotel porticos to review the pretty girls
from, no fashionable churches and sensation
preachers, no soul to make little private bet
with, no cards, no billiards, no clubs, no chan
ces for clark, /" no coquettes framed in win
dows over the way to make dumb love to, no
anything, in short, but woods and fields and
waters, and other natural trumpery. Now
don't sneer at these people. They are really
very much to be pitied. just as much so as
if they lacked the usual complement of limbs
or senses. Indeed, they are more to be COM
miserated than if thus physically afflicted, for
it is better to go about the world with Grip
Piled body than halfparaIyzed soul.
