BY MISS A. A. PROCTOR.
My God thank Thee who hast made
The earth so bright
So full of splendor and ofJoy
Beauty and light
So many glorious things are mere
Noble and right!
THANK Thee, too, that Thou hast nia'0
Joy to abound; loads
So MANY gentle thoughts and deeu'
Circling us round ot If Earth
That in the darkest spot u '-
Some love is ionn"
.bo,,t Thee more that all our joy
Ia touched with pain;
Tho, shadows fall on brightest hours;
That thorns remain;
ca that Earth's bliss may be our guide,
And not our chain.
For Thou who knowest, Lord. how soon
Our weak heart clings,
Hast given us joys, tender and true,
Yet all with wings,
So that we see, cleaning on high.
Diviner things!
thank Thee, Lord, that thou hast kept
The best in store;
we nave enough, yet not too much
10 long for more; E
A yearnmg Tor a deeper peace,
Not known before.
thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls,
Though amply blest,
Gan never lind, although they seek,
A pefect rest
Nor ever shall, until they lean
On Jesus breast.

years old, was taken sick in Portland, Me-. in
January, 1865. No could tell what was the mat

had hard tight cough; could not raise; her throat
troubled her greatly; she seemed to be filling up,
and though attended by the best physicians in Port
land, they could not help her and she declined; and
for some three months was not expected to live Her
doctors and at length her friends gave up all hopes OF
her recovery. She was brought home to my house in
Phipsburg, Me. We tried Cod Liver OH, but the
effect seemed rather opposite from good. She now
could not move her hand, so reduced was she. was

sbermsu,s sentimea e..

As our readers are aware, Genera
SHERMAN delivered an address before
"the Society of the Army of the Ten
nessee," at its late meeting in st. Louis
On Wednesday, 18th inst. Speaking OF
slavery and the rebellion, he declares
"that others than the people of the
South were partially responsible, and
should share the natural consequences
If their own acts" The following SEN
timents, taken from the address, are
rather unlike the utterances of some OF
our stay-at-home loyalists
And l, born of Connecticut parents,
hearing in affectionate remembrance
the virtues of my houored ancestors,
and Welding to no man in admiration
of the intelligence, refinement, industry
and thrift of the people of New Eng
land. do honestly believe that they, in
common with all the great North who
shared in the original causes and en-
enjoyed large part of the profits re-
smiling from cotton aud slave labor,
should be charitable and liberal in the
final distribution of the natural pen
alties.
If slavery then was the real cause of
our civil war, or even the pretext for it,
and if children must inherit the sins OF
their fathers. even in the third and
fourth generations, then none of us who
trace our origin back to the earlier days
of this Republic can escape this mathe-
matical and philosophical conclusion;
or, in the language of DR.. Draper:
Guilty, then, both of us in the sight
of Col, let us not vex each other with
mutual elimination, but bear our pun
ishment with humility"

Fork Your Gardens.

Professed gardeners well understand
the fall management of these important
little family farms. 1t is needless to
tell them how much the success OF next
years crops depends upon turning up
the ground late in November intended
for such crops. But there are many
others-those who have small gardens
and in this class are many well-to-do
farmers-who enly raise small crops of
vegetables, and these of an inferior
quality, and wonder why it is so.
Now, we cannot too often repeat the
advice that if they will use the garden
fork, and turn the soil up full fork deep,
allowing it to remain in Jumps all win
ter exposed to the frost, it will put the
soil in excellent condition and tend
greatly to add to the production of next
years crops. Gardens, and especially
old ones, should also be lined about once
in FIVE years, and sailed about every
other year, applying of lime at the rate
of thirty bushels to the acre, and of salt
from eight to ten. In applying salt
keep it from coming in contact with
.boxedging and all other evergreens,
yery small trees, &c. Such course
will bring up yeur old gardens in sur
prising manner. Turnips, radishes, &C.,
win grow rs we'll as they ever did, and
all other vegetables be largely bene-
fitted.

the Next senatorship.

A correspondent writing from Wood
county desires to know "when Senator
VAN WINKLE's time will EXPIRE" and
also "at what time the Legislature will
elect his successor" His impression
is that the Legislature just elected will
be required to fill Senator VAN WINKLE's
place" Our correspondent is mistaken.
Mr.. VAN WINKLE's term will not expire
until March 4th, 1869, and his successor
will be chosen by the Legislature of
that year, which is to be elected ia
October, 1868.
Proceeding upon the assumption that
Senator from West Virginia will be
elected this winter, our correspondent
ventures certain suggestions which, as
they are not appropriate at this time,
We will withhold. We can hardly
agree with him in the opinion that
candidates will be as thick as thieves
in the Radical party" This is stating
the case rather strongly, and with such
Legislature as the last one, would
leave few disinterested men to do the
Radical caucussing. We doubt not,
however, that the class referred to will
be largely represented On the list Of
sspirants.
Other phases of yillainy win also have
their special expouents among the Rad
'cal candidates for the Senatorship
Indeed there is no style of rascality
