For the Spectator
Lines written on the death of
Saliie and Susan.

Gone like pleasant dream,
Which erst had cheer d the dark and silent night
With its loved presence and its gliding light
Gone like passing CLEAN,
Shed by some wanderer from Il brighter land
Some Wanderer from the pure and angel band
Seen from the spirit land.
Like the fair sisters whom the ancients gave
To starry brightness DER the Egean wave,
They had pass'd unto heavenl
Their bright looks haunt US now:
Wavy locks with silky softness fell,
Shading the snowy home where, like spell,
Thought sat upon their brow;
Their radiant eyes, with their clear upward glance,
SEEM to behold as in spirit trance,
The 'hidden things beyond.
They were not made for earth:
Like the frail harp thro which the zephyr floats,
Waking to melody the slumbering notes
Tender and sadly sweet;
That harp, so fine and frail,
When strong winds O er it rude and roughly break
Unstrung and shattered its faint chords will wake
In no wild, witching wall;
n o thoughts or words unholy or impure
n answering echo from their soul could lure
1t kept itself unstrained.
They were not made for earth,
Sent here to light our pilgrimage awhile
With their dear presence and their angel smiles,
That by their priceless worth,
We might be weaned from all the fading toys
That make the of sublinary joys.
They We're at length reclaimed
These jewels were not given
To deck the tents where dwell our mortal parts,
But that It's contact with our yearning hearts,
Should draw us with strong, resistless force,
Like the star pointing ORE to the pure source.

JIM BLANDER AND THE QUAKER.

There lived in certain neighborhood not far
from B.. registering rowdy bully, Jim
Blander. jim was ''sum, in fight, and a
kind of pugilistic Napoleon. Many and bloody
the affairs he had had in his life time, and had
invariably come off best. Jim not only consid-
cred himself invulnerable, but all the fighting
characters in the surrounding country conceded
that it was no use in fighting Jim, as he was
considered to be patent thrashing machine,
that could not be improved on. Jim's neigh
borhood had settled quite number of Quakers
From some cause or other Jim hated the ''shad
bellies as he called them, with his entire
heart-he often declared that to whip one Of
these inofensive people would be the crowning
glory Of his life For years jim waited for a
pretext. One Of Jim's chums overheard a
young Quaker speaking in disparaging terms of
him.
The report soon came to Jim's ears, not a
little magnifed. Jim made desperate threats
Of what he was going to do with Nathan, the
meek follower of Penn, on sight-besides va
rious bruises and contusions he meant to infict
on Nathan body; in his chaste language, he
meant to gouge out both eyes and chaw off both
ears
Nathan heard of Jim's threats and very prop
erly kept out of his way, hoping that time would
mollify Jims anger 1t seems however, this
much to be desired result did not take place.
One day friend Nathan was out riding and in
passing through a long lane, when almost mid
way, he espied Jim entering the other end
Nathan ! might have returned and fed, but his
flesh rebelled at this proceeding. II will pur-
sue my way peaceably," said the Quaker, ''and
hope the better sense of the man Of wrath
will not permit him to molest me or allow him
to do violence to my person. - Nathan calcrl-
lations as to the lamb-llke qualities Of his ad-
versary were doomed to be disappointed.
20 he" thought the bully, as he recognized
Nathan, Il have him at last. Now I'll make
mince meat Of shad- belly, Twill salt and pickle
him too.
'Wiltthou please dismount from thy horse %
said Jim, seizing the bride Of Nathan's horse
and mimicking his style; ''my soul yearneth
above all things to give thee the biggest maui
ing ever man received.
Friend James, replied Nathan, ''thou must
not modest me, but let me go my way in peace.
Thy better judgment will surely tell thee that
thou cannot possibly be benefited by personal
ly iniuring me. .
Get down in moment" thundered Jim
get down, you canting, lying, mischief making,
cowardly hypocrite, Ill drag you down 1t you
don't dismount"
Friend James, [ demonstrate against thy
proceedings and against thy language, replied
Nathan. Ny religion teaches me sincerity
[ am neither liar, a mischief maker nor a
hypocrte; [ am no coward, but a man ofpeace
L desire to pursue my way quletly-let me pass
on
''Get down." persisted Jim, down with you
[ want to beat some of your religion out OF
you-I must give you a fogging before ! leave
you. [ think by the time I'm through with
you, you'll pass for a tolerably decent man; IL

For the Spectator.
lines written on the death of Caledonia
Hit.
Dear little Callie is no more
The darling household pet
The dimpling smile her count nance wore,
We ne'er shall forget.
That voice we loved to hear on earth,
Prattlng in cadence sweet
So full of innocence and mirth,
N o more our ear shall greet.
Until in happier strains above,
We hear it sweeter still;
For anthems of redeeming love,
The heavenly mansions FILL
She was their parents hope and pride
Light of their earthly home;
Shes now beauteous star beside
GODS own eternal throne.
Their precious cherub was not given
10 dwell mid earth's alarms
Her spirit pure was formed for heaven,
And It's endearing charms.
The little bud so cherished here,
Was blighted ere it doomed
Her mortal part, to friends SO dear,
Only remains entombed.
Her little spirits free indeed
Nor clay, nor tomb confines it now
"A harp is hers-no toys she'll need,
Whilst bright crown rests on her brow
In that blest cline no flower can fade,
NO scorching heat can there destroy
Nor can wintry blast invade
Those regions of unending joy.
Parents and grandparents may meet
Their loved and lost one there;
And may that happiness complete,
With dear 'GittIe Callie'' share
Oh tits pleasing glorious themei
To dwell on here below,
Well there Of parting never dream,
And there no sorrow know
But bask forever in Jesus smile,
As endless ages roll;
Singing his praises all the while
And playing harps of gold

How to PloW for Corn.

We commend to our readers practice which
we have followed with great satisfaction in plow-
ing our corn ground, whether it was sod or stub
bic, namely: by what is called back-furrow
ing commencing in the middle OF the field,
turning the burrows inward, thus plowing the
entire field 'geeing round. Find the middle
of a field with a measuring pole or tape, and set
stake. Then turn ridge OF two ftll'rows In a
straight line from each corner of the field to the
stake These ridges will enable the plowman to
do his work we'll at the turning points. The
advantages Of plowing in this manner are, there
will be no dead burrows in the field. A row OF
corn, if planted in dead furrow, will not a
mount to much, except for fodder. When a
field is plowed by going around the outside and
finishing in the middle, there will be a dead
fi,rrow from each corner to the middle of it,
The team, moreover, must turn on the ground.
which treads down wide strip from the COR
ners to the middle of the field. But when a
field is plowed by beginning in the middle, the
entire team, whether double or single, always
turn on the unplOwed ground, and 1t IS easier
for the plowman to turn out and set IN bis pioW
at the corners, than when he turns the furrow
outward By plowing in this way, the surface
will be kept level and the work performed In a
more wnrkmanlike manner. In order to have
every side of the field finished alike, measure
each side from the plowed ground to the
the outside of the field every day, Then the
burrows may be varied in width, or omitted on
one side, while the plowed plot is small. Aim
always to keep the furrow slices Of uniform
width.-Americdn Ag1JcuItprsss.
