A Beautiful Sentiment.

Clasp the hands meekly over the still brea'!
they've no more work to do; close the weary
eyes-theyye no more tears to shed part the
damp Ioeks-thoresuo more pain TO bear
Closed is the ear alike to loves kind voice and
caldmny's singing whispers.
0, if in that still heart you have rutklesSly
planted a thorn; if from that pleading eye you
have carelessly turned away if your loving
glance and kindly word ard clasping hand have
come-nll toolate-then God forgive you No
irown gathers on the marble brow as YOU gaze
no scorn curls the childish lip-no flush Of
wounded feelings mounts to the blue veiucd
temples
God forgive you! for your feet, too, must
shrink appalled, from deaths cold riyer-your
fattering tongue asks, can this bo death p
Your fading eye fingers lovingly on the sunny
earth. Your clammy hands yield their last
feeble aut,er. .-. ...

thy voiceless sleepersl No warm welcome from
a sisters loving lips! No throb Of pleasure
from the maternal bosom

o, if these broken limbs were neTcr gathered
up-if beyond deaths swelling food there
were no eternal shore-if for the struggling
bark there were no port Of peace-if athwart

EXPERIMENTS WHEAT CULTURE.--A Penn
sylvania farmer, tJ.A. Gilpin, Esq, Of Win
ston,) made an experiment last season which
is worthy of attention. This consisted in stop
ping up every other pipe of his drill in seeding
one acre, which made the rows twenty inches
apart, while all the rest Of his crop was sown
as usual, Ten inches apart. In the spring he
ran oue-horse hoe-harTow through the wide
sown wheat only once, which seemed to giveit
fresh start in its growth At harvest he har-
vested twenty-five bushels from that acre,
while the rest Of the field only yielded nine to
the acre. The season, he says, was avery poor
one, and his seed was bad, but the experiment
was very encouraging.
