Why contest thou, Sorrow, in sable garb clad,
Bearing grief to the heartstone, and memories sad;
Why breakfast the flower, which in beauty hath
bloomed,
Its lovelines cheering the hearts that are doomed
Der one little hillock to mourn and to weep,
Tears bitter tears, from fountain SO deep.
Why invade the fair home in which happiness
dwelt;
Why darken the shrine before which we've knelt !;
Why cast shadow on ife's weary way,
The dimness of nighttime taking place of the day.
Ger one little hillock we mourn and we weep,
Tears, bitter tears, from fountain so deep.
Dispersed, the bright vision; ah fearful the woe,
For treasures Of love our hearts did bestow;
GIfef's CALLING wound ah why didst thou come,
Sorrow, to darken once happy home.
DER one little hillock we mourn and We weep,
Tears, bitter tears, from fountain deep.
| come like the North Wind, with pityless blast,
I chill many hearts, and over them cast
The pail OF misfortune, midnight of gloom,
With no ray Of sunshine to Tighten the doom.
Ger one little hillock we mourn and te weep,
Tears, bitter tears, from fountain so deep.
Death is my handmade, we smile as we roam,
Mid Princes and Peasants cen on the sea foam
Of high rolling billow, we watch the dark cloud
Which betokens the tempest, frail banks to en-
shroud,
We gather the flower which in beauty has burst,
We break the light stem, so tenderly nursed,
We JOY in destruction, we blast the full sheaves;

AFTER LONG YEARS.
BY MRS. GEORGE A. HULsE M'LEoD.

In the summer sunlight little boat was
launched, and with snowy sails spread, it
glided onward like thing Of life. Blue
sky above and tranquil water beneath -
what brighter omen could it have .
''None p was echoed in the song of the
birds that seemed to follow it from shore !,
and 'None!' was on the lips and in the
heart of him who gazed joyously around
the proud owner Of the fairy bark On
ward it glided, gaily glided, with the
stream in the morning sunlight, pausing
often in the moontide, in the shelter of
green islets, quite, shady hooks, rocking
idly near the shore, the white sails furled
and the young master of the craft dream
ing waking dreams, watching with bright
eyes the ripping waters ebb and flow over
the pebbly shore drinking in, as it were,
sweet draughts from the gladness and the
beauty all around him.
In the evening hour afoat again, its
course still onward the little vessel sped.
The stars looked brightly down upon it,
and the night breeze softly kissed the brow
of the sleeper that it bore, drifting On to-
wards the sea, the ocean Of life.
Such, the record of a day. Other days
came and went with changing skies and
stormy winds-days and years out upon
life's ocean.
The voyage was long and often dreary.
To the life whose morning was cloudless,
whose noontide was sunny, dark hours of
sorrow came. Those who smiled upon the
voyagerin childhood, in youth, in graver
manhood, parted from him one by one as
the twilight came on.
The winter was upon him, when, after
long years, he came with feeble step back
to the shore where his bark was launch
ed. Changed ah ! how changed it was
The birds sang no longer; the forest trees
were felled, and where broad meadows
had smiled in the sunlight--where the
quiet shadow Of the hills once tempted
him, now rose the smoke and din of the
city. The housetops cleaned white in the
winter snow-the tall steeples rose high
above them, and in the streets crowds hur-
ried to and fro in the dim evening, but
not face was there he knew.
He had come back to his childhood
home, this weary worn old man, but it
was left unto him desolate 1t was the old
story of chance and change. LIES voyage
had been prosperous, as men count it, but
from affections garland the buds and bios
SONS had fallen, and the aged pilgrim
stood alone!
Nay, not alone, for beyond the sky,
above the stars, his treasure was laid up.
A few more trembling steps, few more
days and nights of waiting, and he would
go forth once more upon the river
Through the dark valley he must pass; but
shining shore lay bright beyond. The
beautiful city cleaned golden in perpetual
sunlight The songs of the angels foated
softly over the waves, bidding him Come
home J" After long years of toll and wait
ing, his work was done, well and faithful
ly done, and his hours was at hand-the
crown was nearly won--the heavens al
most reached. The years of lie were
blending with the endless days of eternity

BoNEs.-Dr James r. Nichols, chem
ist, says, "a most excellent method of pre-
pairing bones for field use, is to dissolve or
saponify the gel.tinous portion by the en-
ployment Of costic alkalies For this pur-
pose, take 100 pounds, beaten into as small
fragments as possible, pack them in tight
cask Or box with 100 pounds of good wood
ashes Mix with the aslaes, before pack
ing, Is pounds Of slaefea lime, and II
pounds Of soda, powdered fine. 1t will re-
quire about 20 gallons of water to saturate
the mass, but more may be added from
time to time to maintain moisture In two
or three weeks the bones will be broken
down completely, and the whole turned
out upon floor, mixed with two bushels
of dry peat or good soil, and after drying
is fit for use"

SWEET Com FOR WINTER.-As this is
about the time to commence putting up
sweet corn for winter use, the method for
curing it will probably be acceptable to
many Of our readers. Getyour corn when
the grains are in fine order for the table
when the corn is renderest and the juices
are sweetest. Boil the corn few min
utes (not above ive)-two is better than
five Then cut out and lay away to dry.
Take any method that will soonest dry
your corn, being careful not to burn it;
and do not lay in Jumps, or too CLOSE to-
gether when drying, or it will soon mould.
Around stove, Or where there is a fire,
is good place. always avoiding dampness.
steam &c. Put in sacks, and hang it
away in dry place, and your corn is fit for
next winters use. In using, you are to
restore it as near as possible to its original
state. This is the best done by first wash
ing it to get out dust and husk, and then
thoroughly soaking in water, using the
same to boil 1t in.

Business closes dull to-day, The
promise of fair weather, which the past
two days would seem TO hold ont, WIS
not realized and the rain, which set in
this morning, had its usual effect on
trade. We regret to say that the
monthly meeting on change to-day
was not as large as it should have been,
particularly when il was known that
some action was to have been insti-
tuted regarding those who have been
%oyerfowed and left destitute by the high
water. We hope this was not caused by
any want of interest in this matter, for
il is one which should touch the heart
Of every business man in u city and,
although an arrangement was made by
those few who were present TO give
direction 10 this very Important and
worthy object, it does not speak well for
the head or heart of those who were
absent. The city papers have called at
tentiOn to this matter several times, and
the meeting this morning should have
been a large one. We are not of those
who think our chamber Of commerce
can extend all the help required, but we
think that body could give shape, char
acter and weight to the measure. The
proceedings which toek to-day will be
found in u local column.
C0TTQN-Ths inquiry was very good
to-day, but the anne wide gulf existed
between buyer and seller as on Saturday.
The advance announced in the Liverpool
market was seemingly anticipated by
holders, The sales during the day were
not heavy. The price asked for mid
ding by factors at the opening was from
% to 29c, but they were not disposed to
sell at these figures toward the close Ofthe
day. Receipts to day, S78 bales; ex-
ports, 800 bales. We quote a firm mar
