Waiting For You.

Two little lambs in the upper Fold, -,
From the heat of Summer, and Winter S cold
Safe from earth guile,
And its dreams untrue,
Two little lambs
Are waiting for you.
Two little darlings whose pattering feet
With the prophets of old tread the COLDER
street,
Or wander forever,
Mid Eden showers,
Awaiting for you,
Through the golden hours.
Two little angels that only came,
Earthward to murmur their mothers name,
Luring her heart,
To the land above,
In the broken accents
OF baby love.
Two little lambs from all sorrow free,
Through the long years of Eternity
From the heat of summer
And Winters cold
Are waiting for you
In the upper Fold.

pier cline, bid her good morning.
Children, love your parents and honor
them; for if there is anything hard to
forget, it is unkindness to them, once
their bodies are made food for the RIO
ters of the tomb. Parents, teach your
children the fear of God-turn their feet
into the paths of peace, and you will dc
more for them than to leave them lands
and money, and when you shall have
gone to your reward, there will be link
between earth and heaven-between the
suffering and the saved, that life's storm:
can never break.

My Mother.

Ny Mother What memories crowd
upon my mind as 1 stand here by her
cherished grave and recall that name
dearer to me than any other this side of
heaven.
Father, brothers, sisters-all have left
the old home, and the only one of us
that now remains amid the scenes of our
childhood and youth, is mother. Her
grave is now to me a Mecca, to which L
must at times make pilgrimage to re-
new my veneration for departed worth,
like the Moslem to the tomb of his pro-
phet.
How many an act now done by parent
and child, how many fond word spoken,
recall to my mind my mother, and make
me live those same things over again.
Now come thoughts that make me sad,
and now, that make me thankful. Sad,
when remember how often, as hayward
child, | spoke rudely to her and poorly
repaid her for her kindness to me; thank
full, when | remember the lessons she
gave me. How we'll | remember how
She called me to her side, told me of the
evils of sin, until | wept with unfeigned
sorrow-how she kindly for awhile played
the part of the unforgiving, until my
grief was as deep as she wished and my
repentance as sincere as she could make
it.
By the side of her chair l, in fancy, can bow,
And feel the soft weight of her hand on menow !;
And the prayers that she taught me in infancy
years,
Like the love-sOng of angels still fall on my
ears.
How often, now, when temptations as
sail me, do | recall her gentle teachings,
and obey that voice that echoes back to
me from the days of my boyhood? How
often, too, in life's wild excitement and
forgetfulness of our highest good, do 1
think Of that quiet, sleeping, Wondering
form in the old graveyard cat home, !"
and seem to hear a familiar voice coming
from the far off realms of love, whisper
ing "Peace, be still, and my heart an
swers-My Mother.
Although the cares and anxieties of
life are upon me, yet she comes to me in
my dreams, and I almost realize the full
fllment of the poets wish
Crock me to sleep, Mother
Rock me to sleep"
Should God have need for me upon
earth until my head be silvered and my
limbs falter with the decrepitude of age,
like these will make me, in feel

Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, &c.

October, with its changing and gradu-
ally decaying leaves, reminds us that
Nature is preparing to go into Winter
quarters, and that we must improve the
interval between the falling of the leaves
in the latter portion of this month, and
the closing of the ground by frost in
the next, or at farthest in the early part
of December, to plant Fruit Trees,
Grape Vines, Shade Trees, Asparagus
Roots, in fact, every thing that is hardy.
Not that it will not do to plant Trees,
Vines, Shrubbery, &C., in the Spring,
but the Fall planting is equally success
full, and farmers have more time at their
disposal for this purpose in the Fall than
in the Spring. This latter reason for
planting should be conclusive, for by far
the most fruitful cause of the many fail
ures in the growth of trees, can be traced
to the want of care in planting. 1t is
very difficult, indeed almost impossible,
to persuade great majority of persons,
that the holes for their fruit trees should
be dug at least three feet wide and eigh-
teen inches deep, but because the roots
do not occupy over one-third of this
space, they insist that no more than that
is necessary, and consequently they thus
plant their trees to die, or if to live, only
to drag out a miserable existence, and
at the end of five years all that can be
said of them is, that they are almost as
large as when they were planted. Surely
if trees are worth planting at all, they
are worth the time and labor it requires
to plant them properly, and we beg our
readers to give this matter of planting
their earnest attention, if they hope for,
or desire success with their orchards and
ornamental grounds.

That when the elder Shepherd Of the fold
Came, covered with the storm and pale and cold,
And begged for one Of my. sweet lambs to holo
babe him go.
He claimed my boy,
Nv 6rst-born, noble boy,-that to my breast
Brought always, either in quiet or unrest,
New JOY; of all Gods gifts loved HIN best
And-yet my joy!
laid him down,
In those white, shrouded arms, with bitter tears;
For some voice told me that, in after years,
He should know naught of passion, grief, or
fears,
As had known.
And yet again
That elder Shepherd came my heart grew
FAINT
He claimed another lamb, with sadder plant,
Anotherl she who gentle as a saint,
Meier gave me pain.
He viii not take
ARotber lamb, thought, my only one,
For surely she is given to be my sun,
My light, my comfort, till this life is done;
No heart could break.
Aghsst l turned away
There sat she lovely as an angels dream,
her golden locks with sunlight all agleam,
Her holy eyes with heaven in their beam;
knelt to pray:
"Isit thy win2
My Father, say, mast this pet lamb be giyenY
OF thou hast many such, dear Lord, in heaven
And q soft voice said: "Nobly hast thou striven
But, peace, be still
OF how 1 wept!
And clasped her to my bosom, with wild,
And yearning love-my lamb, my pleasant child
Hen too I gave The little darling smiled
And slept.
Came morning can tell
How this poor frame its sorrowful tenant kept?
For waking tears were mine, 1 sleeping wept,
And days, months, years, that sorrowful vigi
kept;
Alas Farewell. -
How often it is said
/ sit and think, and wonder too, sometime,
How it viii seem when in that happier cline,
1t never win ring out like funeral chime
Over the dead.
No tears no tears!
VIII there day come, that 1 shall not weep
For bedew my pillow in my sleep.
Yes, yes thank God no grief, that cline shall
keep,
No weary years.
Ayel 1t is well
Well with my lambs, aud with their eartht
guide:
There, pleasant rivers wander they beside,
Or strike sweet harps upon its silver tide
Ayel it is well.
Through the dreary day
They often come from glorious light to me;
cannot feel their touch, their faces see,
Yet my soul whispers they do come to me;
Heaven is not far away.

Hope ALONE IN HR1sT.-The follow
ing is the testimony of the celebrated
DR.. Hopkins "My life and character
and all my exercises are stained with
such an awful degree of depravity, that
1 feel myself infinitely far from any
righteousness or moral goodness that can
recommend me to the favor of God, ard
if am dealt with according to my moral
character and desert, l must be cast off
from God and made miserable forever.
I have no refuge but the righteousness,
the infinite merit and worthiness of
Christ. In Him [ hope, to him l come
for pardon, justification, and redemption
from all iniquity, while 1 am willing to be
considered as infinitely unworthy and i'll
deserving, even the greatest sinner that
is or ever was on earth, and know that
if am saved, it will be wholly owing to
mere infinite sovereign grace"
