GODS ANVIL
From The German. }

Pains furnace heat within me quivers,
God's breath upon the fame doth blow,
And ell my heart In anguish shivers,
And trembles ut the fiery glow;
And yet whisper, "As God will."
And In his hottest fire holdstin.
he comes and lays my heart all heated,
On the hard anvil, minded SO
Into His own fair shape to beat it,
With the great hammer, blow on blow
And yet whisper "As God will"
And at His heaviest blows hold still
He takes my softened heart and beats it,
The sparks fly off at every blow,
He turns 1t DER and Ger and beats it,,
And lets it cool and makes it glow;
And yet whisper, "As God will
And In His mighty hands hold still.
WHY should murmurf for the sorrow,
Thus only longer lived would be;
Its end may come, and will tomorrow,
When God has done his work in me-,
So say, trusting "As God will'
And trusting to the end, hold still.
he hndlss for my profit purely,
Aaliction's glowing fiery brand,
And all his heaviest blows are surely
Inflicted by master hand;
So cay, praying, @As God will :"
And hope in Him, and suffer still

count the fruit should be handled as lit

the decay of fruit in some fruit. houses,
constructed on the plan of Professor
HyCe, has been caused by packing the
fruit in barrels in the open air, during
damp weather, and heading the barrels
before they were stored in the fruit.

the interssices between the fruit had prob

ing the seed. Il is, perhaps. unneces-
sary to dwell on this part Of the subject,
as we presume most of the farmers in
this county have already satisfied them
selves that ii is cheaper to buy the plants

when they have plants of their own rails

of raising them. they then ganerally get
plants of uniform size, which is always
desirable. but not indispensable, in or
der to have uniformity in the growth.
Whether the plants be bought, or raised
by the farmer, they must be carefully
planted in well pulverized ground, that
has. or ought to have been, well plowed
the previous fall. And, as a hedge is a
permanent institution some pains ought
10 be taken in having them planted in
straight lines. This can be easier &c
complished, probably, by planting with
spade and line. than with the plow.
The modus opeFandi is in this wise.

Carefully select the plants before you
commence planting. The roots of sOund

be rejected. This is very essential inOr'

Protecting Trees from Nice and

A correspondent of that excellent pa

article on Fruit Trees" gives the fol-
loving advice in regard to protecting
them from mice and rabbits;
Last winter nice were more than
usually destructive, and even in nursery
grounds thousands of trees have been de.

edges are straight entirely prevents any
thing from getting to the bark. OF
course, should the snow be deep a rab.

and in that case something Of a greater

In regard TO the dePredations of rab-
bits on fruit trees. COleman's Rural

"Branes win WIN"


BY sYLvANUs COBB SHAKESPEARE FOE.
At dead Of night, at the railroad ball,
A man appeared within the hall,
Nor fat, nor lean, nor short, nor tall,
Whipping "BraHes sSiH win."
Wildly round him did be glare,
Viewing the limbs and ladies fair,
Then to depart he did prepare,
Whipping "Brasss WiH ,Oin."
He ran his fingers through his hair,
Made out to founder down the stair,
To lave bis.'brGns" in midnight air;
"Branes pM rin."
Now fierce and loud arose his cry
Like dOdO's last expiring sigh
He shrieked unto each passer by
"Branes piU tCin."
It msttered little whom he met,
BE still gave vent unto his fret,
Still shFieking through his teeth hard set,
"Branes igiH toin."
And thus he passed from house to house
Rudderless, like tsilless mouse
Still raving like crazy lOuse,
"Branes piH Din."
He dashed along with reckless spe eed,
Needing naught that might impede,
Still loudly shrieking ''IIl succeed,
"Branss ,ON rOin."
He spied light, and pretty sooH
Sugar and gin in the saloon,
To himself he drank, the same old tune,
"Branes trH pin."
He drank and drank-then OnYard stsered
From right to left his course he veersd,
Till in the East the sun appeared,
"BrGneS IoiIL Win."
Then fierce across the street be ran,
To where doth stand the wooden man,
And grasped him By the Outstretched hand
"Br0nes sOiH vin."
he humbly bowed; "On behalf" )" said he,
''Of our railroad cause, now thank thee
Though at first opposed convinced by me-"
-"BraRes ssiH ,siH.
Then the Ten ear he bored,
With how his talents were ignored,
And loud and fercely then be swored,
"BraRes WW t0in."
With maniac stare and crazy laugh,
He vanished like dying calf;
The Journal prints his epitaph;
"Branes t0iH ,rin."
Paw sat beside the deathIy bed
And wept "My dearest friend is dead;
Oh!!! that might haye died iDsteadP'
"Branes ViU Vin."
And Jamie the wooden mans son exclaimed
IF he ain't 'Ratterea" I'll be blamed;
I'll try it myself, for, as he claimed,
"Branes ,oH t0in."
Inferred be lies beneath = HiH,
In fetters bound by a murd'rOus spell
Richly deserving his fate he fell;

AdYIces from Havana.

HAVANA, April Our adviees
from Nassau are 10 Monday last,
March Both. Serious riots are antici-
pated in consequence Of the action of
the Legislature relative to the Church
disendOwment. Their bill was finally
passed by a majority Of five votes, but
the Executive Counsel vetoed the
measure, thereupon the Assembly be-
came indignant and sent a request to
the Governor praying that he would
dissolve the Legislature, and order a
new election. This he refused to do,
as an appeal to the people would be
fatal TO the Government. 7H l.f"
Ii is probable that blood will be
shed, as the question has now become
one between creeds, castles and colors,
the Governor having identified him
self with the Church. The Liberals
have drawn up an address TO the
Home Secretary, requesting coercion
to enforce the will OF the Lagisla ture.
Several members Of both Houses voted
for the Church interests to save their
seats. As there is a lock in the Gov
eminent machine, the Executive must
dissolve the Legislatures The cleo
pioneering will be spirited, aud the
highest officials assert a determination
and readiness to shed their blood
rather than allow sectarians to defeat
the Church. There are no meu-of-

New York, April 2.-In accord
ance with the notice issued by King
William Of Prussia now President Of
the North German Confederation, the
flag of the united nationalitieS was
hoisted on all German vessels 10 port
yesterday. Royal salutes were fred at
the Hamburg and Bremen dock at
the hauling down of the old flag. The
day was observed by a general cele-
bration. Sumptuous dinners were pro
Vided on board the Borussia, Union,
and Comberia, at which tOasts were
given to the new Confederation, King
William, Count Bismarck, and Ger
man commerce.
The Herald's special from Lake
Oshong, Abyssiuia, March 10th, via
London, April 1st, says the advance
brigade of the British army, under
Napier, arrived at this point, on the
march towards Magdala, to day. The
difficulties Of the expeditionary un-
dertaking increase as we proceed.
The country for the most part is bar
ron and inhospitable. The roads are
very bad, and difficult to travel. The
natives are hostile to the British.
An Abyssinian chief, who is en-
camped on the high table land near
the troops, refuses to give food to the
army on any terms. This chief dares
General Napier to injure him. He
sent a message to Napier, saying that
King Theodorus offers him meeting.
Another chief, who is friendly, tells
Gen. Napier not to believe this asser-
ton Of the hostile chief
No forage can be had for cattle
The people say that the bad chiefs
have already ruined the country, and
that King TheOdOrus despoils the
country far and wide. The desola-
ton is universal.
Gen. Napier's headquarters force is
six days march from the Fortress
Of Magdala.
