&s- The Ohio Reform Farm, situated near
Lancaster, Fairfield comfy, Ohio, consists of one
thousand one hundred and seventy acres of land.
About four hundred acres are cleared and most
ly planted with fruit trees, and extensive gar
dens are worked The inmates are very much
crowded, but this will soon be remedied by the
addition of two new buildings. A visitor gives
the following detailed statement of the operations
at the farm After breakfast, 6 A. NJ, all the
boys meet on the front lawn and receive their or
ders for the work of the 6ay. This morning
twenty-five were detailed for the clearing. At
the tool-house they find their axes, and at once
proceed to the forest. Another force of thirty,
with corn cutters go to the corhfeld to cut and
shock corn. Other details 60 to the garden, the
nursery, the buckwheat field to the orchard 10
gather apples, &c. At the dry-house we found a
group of boys busiy engaged in drying apples
they had already dried sixty bushels. Here is
another group making butter. Invited by one
of the boys engaged in boiling food for the hogs
we visited his establishment. His furnaces and
boilers were in good shape, and the fat porkers
in the adjoining pens would be an honor 10 the
best feeder in the Miami Valley. After dinner,
the boys spend four hours in schools. The ere
ming is spent in reading, conversation, and
review of the day; and at eight o o'clock they re-
tire. The good conduct of the boys is always
acknowledged by an advance grade in the
way to an honorable discharge, by the approba-
ton and confidence. .of the officers, and the trust
reposed in them. Bad conduct is punished by
marks of demerit, reproof, bread and water, and
in extreme cases aud approval by the resident
Commissioner, corporeal punishment is inflicted.

THE SURE WITNESS.


The solemn wood has spread
Shadows around my head
Chung dim and still about the house of prayer.s
Softly among the limbs,
Turning the leaves of hymns,
heard the winds, and asked if God was there.
No voice replied, but while listening stood,
Sweet peace made holy bushes through the wood.
With ruddy, open hand
saw the wild rose stand
Beside the green gate of the summer hills;
And pulling at her dress,
cried, "Sweet Hermitress,
Hast thou beheld him who the dew distillsY p"
No voice replied, but while listening bent,
Her gracious beauty made my heart content.
The moon in splendor shone.
''She walketh Heaven alone,
And seeth all things,' to myself mused;
''Hast thou beheld Him. then,
Who hides Himself from men
By that great power through nature interfused fi'
No speech made answer, and no sign appeared,
But in the silence was soothed and cheered
Walking one time, strange awe
Thrilling my soul, saw
kingy splendor round about the night;
Such cunning work the hand
Of spinner never planned,
The finest wool may not be washed so white
''Hast thou come out of heaven 2n asked, and lol
The snow was all the answer of the snow.
Then my heart said, "Give oer;
Question no more, morel
The wind, the snow-storm, the wild hermit flower,
The illuminated air,
The pleasure after prayer,
ProNaim the unoriginated Power
The mystery that hides Him, here and there,
Shows the sure Witness He is everywhere"

A WORD TO You've MEN.- My friend did you
ever know, can you call to mind any single case
of person who, having his own way to make
in the world, spent bis time on the street, in bill
lard saloons, around hotels, or in any form of
dissipation or idleness, to succeed in. eminent
degree in any enterprise Look over your list of
friends and acquaintance and note their course.
Do you not find upon examination that those
who to-day are men of influence and honor were
the youth who made the most Of valuable time,
turning it to good account, and ON the other
hand do you not find those who stood at the
corners with cigar or pipe in their mouth went
from bad to worse, from worse to ruin Sadly
must the answer be made,-O that it were not
so-they have failed, win you not profit by the
experience of others? Go not thatway. Never
be idle Every moment of your youth is gol-
den one, use it as such; improve the mind fix
your eye upon some noble object be men,
The call is for men, will you not be one of that
number who can say, 81 am man.

azs- Every family may make its own vinegar.
The Maine Farmer publishes the receipt for
making it, furnished by lady. She took the
parings and cores of apples, poured on boiling
water, with a little molasses and yeast, put all
into large stone jar and kept where it was
moderately warm. In three weeks it was good
sharp vinegar.

Nsa- A little thoughtful attention, how happy
it makes the old |! They have outlived most OF
the friends of their early youth How lonely
their hours Often their partners in life have
long filled silent graves; often their children they
have followed to the tomb. They stand solitary
bending on their staff, waiting till the same call
shall reach them. How often they must think
of absent, lamented faces of the love which
cherished them and the tears Of sympathy which
fell with theirs, now all gone. Why should not
the young cling around and comfort them, cheer
ing their gloom with songs and happy smiles
