SOMEBODY.

Somebody's eyes have grown dimmsr,
OF in some quaint old home
At morn, when the evening stars glimmsr,
Watching for some one 10 CONF;
Watching, whils TIE heart grows the slcksF.
As day after day gIidss along
Watchiag, while tears fall the thicker,
Choking the lullaby song.
Somebody. wandering oYsr
Lands far away from his own,
Scents, as of old, the sweet clover
That grew by the old door stonei
Longs to go back and to mingls,
As in the dim days of yore.
With those round the old cottage ingle,
Those who, alas. are no more.
Somebody's prayers are ascending
Ever for dear ones away,
rraye-s that His blessing attending
May keep them from going astray;
Prayers that Aoat nearer and nearer
The throne of the Father above,
AID reaching the ear Of the Heare5
Are answered in Infinite Love.
Somebody's life-Sork is ended
Patient they wait now to goi
Long have they faithfully wOnded
Toilsome paths here below;
Soon the reward they'll be roaping
That to the faithful is given
''well done"-"Come up" and be keeping
Watch for somebody in heaven!
Somebody ever is weeping.
Rachsl-like, mourning her dead,
Stunning all comfort, and keeping
Vigils while stars are o'erhead;
ol that such hearts whose feeling
Shut out the thoughts Of The WILL
Gilead's balm, with its healing,
Would come, and the wild throbbing still.
Somebody's heart has grown weary,
Weary Of watching for aye,
The time when the night. now 50 dIeary,
Shall end in an infinite day;
When life shall roll onward forever,
AS peacefully, sOle@n aud grand,
As rolls on Eternity's River
That washes Eternity's strandl

APPLES AS FooD.-The Importance

APPLES AS FooD.-The Importance
of apples as food has not hitherto been
sufficiently estimated or understood. Be
sides contributing large proportion of
sugar, mucilage, and other nutritive COM
pounds in the form of food, they contain
such a fine combination of vegetable acids
extractive substances and aromatic pgin-
ciples, with the nutritiye matter, as to
act powerfully in the capacity Of refrig-
Grants, tonics, and antiseptics, and when
freely used, all the season of ripeness, by
rural lahorers and others, they prevent
debility, strengthen digestion, correct the
putrefactive tendencies of nitrogeuous
food, avert scurvy, and probably maintain
and strengthen the power of productive
labor.

aud ashes. Mix them By putting in three
parts Of salt to one Of ashes. Horses
