SPRING.

A flush of green is on the boughs,
A warm breath panteth in the air,
And in the earth heart-pulse there
Throbs underneath her breast Of SHOWS.
Life is astir among the woods,
And by the moor, and by the stream;
The year, as from a torpid dream,
Wakes in the sunshine of the buds;
Wakes up in music as the song
OF wood-bird Wild and loosen'd rill
More frequent from the windy hill
Comes greening forest aisles along,
Wakes up in beauty as the sheen
of woodland pool the CLEANS receives
Through bright flowers, over braided leaves
OF broken sunlights golden green.
She sees the outlaw'd winter stay
Awhile, to gather after him
Snow-robes, frost-crystaPa diadem,
And then in soft showers pass away.
She could not love rough winter well,
Yet cannot choose but mourn him now;
So wears awhile on her young brow
His gift-a cleaning icicle.
Then turns her, loving, to the sun,
Upheaves her bosom's swell to his,
And, in the Joy of his first kiss,
Forgets for aye that sterner one.
Old winters pledge from her he reaves-
That icy-cold, though glittering spar
Ard zones her with a green cymar,
And girdles round her brow with leaves.
The primrose and the wood-violet
He tangles in her shining hair,
And teaches effin breezes fair
To sing her some sweet canzonet.
All promising long summer hours,
When she in his embrace shall lie,
Under the broad dome of bright sky,
On mOssv couches starr'd with flowers,
Till she smiles back again to him
The beauty beaming from his face,
And, robed in light, glows with the grace
OF Eden-palaced cherubim
o, Earth thy glowing loveliness
Around our very hearts has thrown
An undimmed joyance all its own,
And sunn'd us DER with..happiness.

How MUCH HELP SHALL WE HIRE p
1t is time to be making arrangements for
the next season. The supply Of labor, at
least in the older States, will be, we think
nearly as abundant as usual, notwith-
standing the war. If six hundred thou
sand soldiers have been raised among
twenty millions of people, il is only one
in thirty-three Of the population. But at
least three-fourths Of this number have
come from the cities and villages and from
other callings than agriculture. A null
titude have entered the army who were
never very productive laborers, in any
calling. They are pow earning more for
themselves and their families, than they
ever we're before. In the arrangement of
business incident TO the war, much larg-
er number following other pursuits have
been thrown out of employment than all
who have volunteered from the farming
districts. 1t would not be strange, then,
if labor should be even cheaper this sea-
son than the last.
VIC Sdu oSO uO IctiSOu OlJuSI iu lilO sup
ply of labor or in its prospective rewards,
why we should not employ rs much as
usual. If it should be cheaper than usu-
al, it will be a favorable opportunity to
enter upon some of those projected i'm
provements which have been waiting the
"good time coming" for many years.
Almost every farm has swamps and wet
land to be drained, pastures to be cleared
of rocks, brush, and stumps. The pro-
duction of such lands may be quadrupled
in most cases by wise use of labor. AS
rule, we economize in the wrong place
when we refuse to hire help in order to
save the wages. Whether we have war
or an early peace the Nation must be fed,
and all the products of the farm will bring
a remunerative price.

RIoHTEoUs ovERMUCH.--The Rev. DR..
Mcleod was proceeding from the manse
of D to church, TO open new place
of worship. AS he passed slowly and
gravely through the crowd gathered about
the doors, an elderly man, with the pc
culiar kind of wig known in that district,
bright, smooth and of a reddish brown,
accosted him: "Doctor, if you please,
| wish to speak to you"
"WelD, Duncan" says the venerable
doctor, can you not wait, till after wor-
ship7"
mo, doctor, must speak to you now,
for it is a matter on my conscience"
40, since it is matter of conscience,
tell me what it is; but be bref, Duncan,
for time presses"
"The matter is this, doctor: Ye see
the clock yonder on the face of the
church. Well, there is not clock really
there-nothing but the face of a clock.
There is no truth in it, but only once in
twelve hours. Now, it is in my mind
very wrong, and quite against my con-
science, that there should be q lie on the
face of the house of the Lord
"Duncan, l will consider the point
But l am glad to see you looking so well;
you are not young now; l remember you
for many years; and what fine head of
hair you have STILL"
"Eh, doctor, you are joking now; it is
long since l have had any hair"
40, Duncan, Duncan, are you going
into the house of the Lord with lie up
on your head |"
This settled the question, and the doc
tor heard no more of the lie on the face
of the clock.

ADVENTURE IN INDIA.
BY J. FULLER.

1t was in the year l93-, that l joined
my regiment, as sub, at Bangolore; (;
and not being subject to such climate
where the mercury runs to ITO Q in the
spring, with no idea of coming down till
autumn, l soon found myself an invalid,
and almost cursed the day that l had
been tempted to leave cool old England
for such sweltering country. Some of
my friends advised trip to the Malabar
coast, and l was nothing 10th to try any
change, believing even the worst l could
possibly make must be for the better. So
l procured a palanquin, and eight good
bearers, to take turn about, and set off
forthwith, through as wild country as
eyer poor mortal could wish to see.
Nothing remarkable happened till we
entered what is known as the Weynard
Jungle; and if nothing had happened
there, | should have been tempted to in
dict the whole country as libel on ap-
pearances. Such jungle as that l may
never behold again! Reeds, weeds, grass,
brambles, and bushes, were interlaced like
network beneath gigantic trees of teak,
whose boughs interlocked and canopied
the whole, so that in many places the
bright sunshine of heaven never penetrat-
ed to the earth; and as was borne along
in my palanquin, on the shoulders of four
timid coolies, while the other four walked
leisurely behind, had the satisfaction Of
knowing was in perfect wilderness in
babited by wild elephants, wild boars, IL
gers, leopards, hyenas, jackals, and any
number of deadly reptiles, and that if we
we're attacked by any ferocious beast, ]
should probably be deserted on the in.

And then fancy me at night, with al
these bowling beasts around me, attempt
ing to sleep, amid all the poisonous ex'
halations Of a malarious region, with mill
ions of mosquitoes, moths, and bugs
humming, buzzing, and perforating every
pore of my body, and you will form some
faint idea of the pleasures of a sick mans
Journey.
Well, one hot, sultry afternoon, wher
we had reached somewhere near the hear
of this jungle, as l was leaning back OF
the seat of my palanquin and dreamily
listening to the drowsy, monotonous song
of the bearers, was suddenly reused anC
started by three hoarse trumpet blasts
which proceeded from a wild elephant
who was crushing through the jungle a

PLANT AN APPLE ORoHARD.-The old
ones are fast dying out all through the
older States. They were planted hun
dred years ago, or more, have done good
service, and ought to have their day.
When apples are So dollars a barrel and
upward, there is not an adequate supply
in The country. They can be grown at
dollar barrel, with profit. The apple
crop in single small county in this State,
was worth half a million of dollars last
year. Other counties, in the older parts
of the Eastern States, were under the ne
cessity of paying out hundred thousand
dollars for this fruit, because they had not
the article at home. Peaches and plums
we may be able to get along without, but
apples we must have--for sauce, for pies,
for the desert, and for the dinner basket
of little boys and girls who can not come
home from school to dine. We say then
to every farmer, plant an orchard of at
least a hundred trees. The trees are all
ready for You in the nursery, well grown,
and grated, two and three years from the
bud. Get thrifty trees, of varieties that
you know will flourish in your locality,
and in four years you will be eating fruit
from them. Do not fail to plant an or
chard this very month.

The GREAT EAsTERN.-This huge YES
sci seems destined to bring disaster on all
who come near her. On leaving her
moorings, lately, at Milford, in order to
swing her round with the tide, hawser
attached to boat from the frigate Blen-
helm got foul of her screw, and the boats
crew were sucked under. Two men were
drowned. Soon after the hawsers that
held her parted, and she drifted helplessly
down the channel, striking the Blenhein,,
and carrying away her bowsprit, jibboom,
mainyard and moorings, springing her
foremast, and narrowly missing smashing
a little steamer that happened to be close
by. Mismanagement seems to reign in
all her departments. 1t was with difficult
ty she was brought back and placed on
the "gridiron." She deserves a good
coasting for her misconduct.
