Mother, the sky is very bright,
With stars of silver hue;
The air is full of beauteous light,
And pearly drops of dew.
Mother, ere long shall no more
Gaze on these lovely scenes,
Or view from our own cottage door,
The moonlight so serene.
Mother, tits very hard to part
From all my friends SO dear,
Subdue your grief--for soon l start,
The angels now are near.
Mother, they whisper of my homo
And robe of spotess white;
They're calling now for me to come,
o may go tonight
Mother, can dear brother see
Amid the shining band,
Their pure, sweet strains of melody
Float from the peaceful land.
Mother, bid you now adieu,
And kiss my friends once more,
Tell sister to her God be true,
And meet me on the shcre.
Mother, though I should so above,
I'll come to cheer your grief,
The Saviour now prepare to love,
For life is very brief.

My life doth gently flee,
No dark cloud my soul is shading,
For Jesus l shall see.

A GREAT WATERFALL.-A de.ach-
ment of troops recently scouting in the
valley of the Snake territory, discovered
n waterfall which. it is said, is entitled to
the distinction of being called the great
est in the world. The entire volume of
Snake river pours over sheer preci-
pce one hundred and ninety eight feet
high, thirty-eight feet higher than Mag
ara. Snake river is ful as large as the
Niagara, ard the cascade is one solid
sheet or body. The locality of this i'm
mense waterfall is near the point hereto
fore designated as the Great Shoshone
or Salmon falls of that river, but they
have always been enyeloped in mysterr.
For hundreds Of miles across the great
plain Snake river flows through canon,
with vertical walls hundreds Of feet high.
II is only at long intervals that salient
points are found by which the river can
be reached. The road crosses from
point to point Of the bends, only ap-
proaching close TO the river where there
is a chance TO descend for water. From
these facts very few, if any, of the tens
of thousands of adventurers that have
crossed tie plains ever looked upon the
great falls. The late discoveries report
beside the main cataract many others of
less hight, varying from twenty to fifty
feet each, near by. Some day they will
be visited by the tourist and pleasure
seeker, and looked upon as frequently
and familiarly as Niagara is to-day and
it will be admitted that, with the stu>
pendous grandeur Of their surroundings,
they are far beyond Niagara as Niagara
now excels the balance of the world.

Fattening Sheep in Winter.

If properly managed, the winter iatten
ing OF sheep can be made profitable. The
first point of importance is, to have them
come in from the pasture in thriving con-
dilion. 1t will hardly pay to attempt to
winter poor weaklngs, especially where
large numbers are kept; better secure
their peltS at once; fattening such ami
mails at this season is out OF the question.
The following from john Johnston, Esq.
of Geneva, New York, well known a>
one of the most successful farmers, is TO
the point-we extract from ii. 5. Ran
dalls new and valuable work on sheep.
He says 81 generally buy my sheep. in
October. Then | have good pasture
10 put them out and they gain good deal
before winter sets in. / have generally
had to put them IN the yards about the
first of December. For twenty-three
years | have fed straw the first two or
two and half months, with pound Of
oil cake, meal or grain TO each sheep.
When commence feeding hay, Il it is
good, early cut clover, generally reduce
the quantity of meal or grain one half;
but that depends upon the condition Of
the sheep. If they are not pretty fat, |
continue the full feed Of grain or meal
with their clover, and or both they fatten
remarkably fast. This year (1S62-3) i
fed buck wheat, pound to each per day,
half in the morning and half at 4 p. NJ,
with wheat and barley straw. / found
the sheep gained little over pound
each per week. II never was profitable
for me to commence fattening lean sheep
or very fat ones. Sheep should be toll
erably fair mutton when yarded. keep
their yards and sheds thoroughly Uttered
with straw,

PRAYER for Our Country.

Lord, may our souls thy grace adore,
May Jesus plead our humble claim;
While thy protection we implore,
In his prevailing, glorious name.
Let past experience of thy care
Support our hope, our trust invite;
Again attend our humble prayer,
Again be mercy thy delight.
Our arms succeed, our councils guide
Let thy right hand our cause maintain,
Till wars destructive rage subside,
And peace resume her gentle reign.
Oh, let the gospels healing ray,
True source of amity divine,
Spread Ger the world its heavenly day,
And all the nations Lord, be thine.
Oh guard our shores from every foe;
With peace our borders bless,
Our cities with prosperity,
Our fields with Righteousness.
Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and thee;
And let our hills and valleys chant
The songs of liberty.
Lord of the nations, thus to thee
Our country we commend;
Be thou her refuge and her trust,
Her everlasting friend.
