Black SpAxIsH F6WLs.-These
fowls are graceful and beautiful as
well as profitable. Color, JET black,
glossy, velvefy. The comb of both
sexes is large, single, thin, bright,
beautiful red, and unless they are
kept from frost in winter, freeze
easily. And this is the greatest
objection to this breed-that their
beauty Is 50 easily spoiled by the
frost biting the comb. But for
layers the Black Spanish excel all
other breeds with which we are
acquainted. They are not good

Love WnL FrND A WAY.-A
couple, not many miles from Man

a rather novel manner. A young
man had fallen in love with the
daughter OF his employer, bat for
certain ideas OF wealth, a match
was opposed by the father. The
consequence was that the young
man was forbidden TO visit his en-
ployer's house. The old gentle
man was in the habit Of wearing n
cloak. The couple made him the
innocent hearer OF their correspon-
deuce. The young lady pinned
letter inside the lining of the old
MINIS cloak every day, and when
the father went to the counting.

lover took out the lady's epistle,
read it, and sent the reply back in
he same manner. Love and in

"God will wipe all tears from

ct exquisite tenderness and beauty.
The poet Burns said he could new

disappointment, no bereavement.
No friend is to lie in dreadful agony
on IA sick bed, no grayetC be opened
10 receive a parent, wife, child,
no gloomy prospect OF death is to
draw tears from our eyes. To that
blessed world, when our eyes run
with tears, we are permitted to look
forward; and the prospect Of such a
world should contribute to wipe
away our tears here, for all our
sorrows will soon be over. Amidst
the trials OF the prcsen, life, when
friends leave ne, when sickness
comes, when our hopes are blasted,
when calumnies and approaches
come upon us, when standing on
the verge OF the grave and looking
down into the cold tomb, the eyes

look forward % that bright scene in
heaven, where no pang shall ever
be felt, and not a tear shall ever be
