1t is probable that, owing to the
partial failure Of the hop crop last year,
prices will be somewhat better during
the coming season. Hops arc said to
be very scarce in New York at 6 cents

lie lowed his head as IL the chords
OF life had snapped In twain,
could not catch his hurried words.
But they sounded full Of pain;
His eyes were lit with q feverish fire,
His check with hectic stain,
And As he stopped to kiss my hand,
Ills tears ran down like rain.
We met once more in after years,
When I-anothor's bride
Had learned to measure by my tears
The costlincss of pride.
Amid the gay, unhecding crowd,
Chance threw us side by side;
lie seemed the wreck Of noble heart
Whose hore had early died.
The unforgetten look returned
The sad impassioned look;
1t seemed to pierce my very soul
And read it rs a book.
He bowed his head and stroyo to smile:
Alas! could not brook
To know how worthless all gained
And see what l torsook.

1t is astonishing with what rapidity time
passes away; how the days, the weeks, the
months and the years roll round, carrying
with them the life, the beauty and the hopes
of this world into vast and unknown future.
1t seems but short time indeed, since We all
felt and enjoyed the spring and buoyancy of
youth, the delights of home, the influences OF
paternal love, the society and counsel of
friends, who now sleep in the grave and yet
some Of us are old and the majority have at
tanned to mature manhood. The youth OF
the present generation are growing up around
us but in our youth we knew them not.
While We have been passing on in the diree-
ton Of the grave, they have sprung up TO oc-
cupy our places and follow rapidly in the rear.
Before us we see the aged tottering along in
their teebleness and leaning ON their slaves,
behind us Is the youth flushing with promise
and the infant prattling IN its mothers arms.
Our life Is moving panorama-the pic
lures on the canvass pass before our eyes, de-
| lighting us for the moment, but each contain

An old man. crowned with honors nobly earned
Once asked a youth what end in life he sought
The hopeful boy said, " I would first he learned

The Old man groyely shook his head.
" And when you've learned all this. what then p

" Then, said the boy, with all the warmth ol

Appearing always on the side of truth.

The old man sadly shook his head,
" And when you've done oil this, what then l''

" Clients win pour upon me fees and briefs
Twill be my pleasing task to bring back ioy

But still the old man shook his reyerent head
And when all this j. gained, what them" he

he said
" And then why then, / know that must die

We take great pleasure 10 reproducing til
beautiful pocm, which will revive in many min
the sweetest recollections or lie time.
1t stood close by where on eathem hinge
The gate swung back from the grassy lane
When the cows came home when the dusky ey,
Its mantle threw over bill and plain
Its branches, knotted and gnarled by time,
Waved 10 and fro in idle breeze,
When the Spring days wnyc a hlushing crown
Ofhlossoms bright for the apple-treps.
It, shadows fell DER the crystal stream
That all the long bright Summer days,
Like n silver thread mid the waving grass,
Reflected back the golden rays
OF the MONDAY sun that madly stroye
To drink the iount Of the br00klet dry.
But the light clouds showered teardrops down
Till the glad brook laughed as it glided by.
Never was the apple half s. sweet,
Golden russet striped with red.
As those that lell on the Yielding turf
When she shook the branches overhead
A trysting place Tor tristlul friends
Was the apple-tree in the days Of yore,
And oft we've sat beneath its shade
And talked bright dreams Of the future Ger
And when the warm October san
Shone on the naples scarlet robe,
We gathered apples sound and fair,
And round as our own mystic globe
The stately hemlOck crowns the hill,
The dark pines rise above the plain
But the one we prize far more than they,
The apple-tree in the pasture lane.
long years have passed, and cows no more
Come home at night through the grassy lane
W here the gate swung back on leathern hinge
| stand aud gaze on the far of plain
No more we list to the music low
of the crystal stream ns it ripples ON,
And the apple-tree in the pasture lane
Is but dream Of the days hy-gone.

For use and simple worth.
lis neither rude, nor yet refined,
But bears touch of Natures art,
As If 'twere to its owner's s mind

BY window-lights alone revealed
Among near-clustered forest trees.
Its wall, its very roof concealed
In yine-clad trellises.
\ lone green nest upon hill,
With fields aud hloomy orchards round,
An eyelet in a landscape still,
Majestic and profound.
For there the mountains peaks are spurred
Upward in mighty leaps and free,
And there dreamy boom is heard
Low from sleeping sea.
Within the cot are books well conned,
The gathered wisdom of all time,
Cherished and stored by hearts as fond
As ever beat in rhyme.
BY hearts-no more There is no land
Where such vision could be real
Dearest, thy heart must understand
What unspoken feel
There may be cots, and vines above,
And mountains, and II dreamy sea;
But such a life, and such Il love,
For ms can never be.

TO M HAPPY.

Since have found the Lord said Lady
Flora Hastings to youg friend /" have
been as happy san angel" Her words were
like an arrow to the heart of her gay and
pleasuring-seeking companion. From that
hour she could not rest amid the empty joys
of wealth, and PRIDE and rank, and pomp, and
pleasure These all had failed to ease the
anguish of an aching heart. She sought the
Lord and, since the days of the Marys that
wept around Christ's bleeding cross and re-
joieed before his opened sepulchre, We shall
hardly find such a life of holy, burning, un-
selfish, useful, Christian love and labor as
was lived by that young lady, Celina, Count
oss Of Huntington, for SO many years the
fellow worker and supporterof Whtefeld and
his associates. What blessing was given
with that one brief testimony to the joy Of
God within that Christians heart l,ig

HOME CHEERFuLNEss.

Many child goes astray, not because there
is want Of prayer or virtue at home, but
simply because home lacks sunshine. A child
needs smiles as much as flowers need sun
beams, Children look little beyond the pres
ent moment If thing plcases, they are
apt to seek il; if it displeases they are prone
to avoid it, If home is the place where faces
are sour and words harsh, and faut-6nding is
ever in the ascendent, they will spend as
many hours as possible elsewhere. Let them
look happy Let every father and mother
then, try to behappy. Let them talk to their
children, especially the little ones, in such a
way as to make them happy.

For the ladies.
ONE YEAR AGO.
nr HARRIET RFECnER STOWE.

One year ago a ringing voice.
4 clear blue eye
And clustering curls Of sunny hair,
Too fair 10 die
Only Il year--no voice, no smile,
No glance Of eve,
No clustering curls Of golden hair,
Fair but to die.
One year ago, what loves, what schemes
Far into life
What joyous hopes what high resolves,
What generous strife
The silent picture ON the wall,
The burial stone,
0f all that beauty, life and joy
Remain alone
One year, one year, one little year,
And 50 much gone
Aud yet the even l0w Of life
Moves calmly on.
The grave grows green, the flowers bloom fair
Above the head
No sorr0wng tint OF leaf or spray
Says he is dead
No pause, or hush, or merry birds
That sing above,
Tel us how codly sleeps below
The form We love.
Where hast thou been this year, beloved? D.?
What hast thou seen
What rising fair, what glorious life,
W here thou hast been
The veil the veil 50 thin, 50 strong
'Twixt us and thee
The mystic veil when shall il fall,
That we my see
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone,
But present still,
And waiting for the coming hour
of Gods sweet will.
Lord Of the living and the dead,
Our Saviour dear
We lay in silence at Thy feet
This sad sad year

One thousand first rate places are open to one
thousand boys who come up to the standard
Each boy can suit his taste as to the kind Of
business he would prefer. The places are
ready in every kind of occupation. Many Of
them are already filled by boys whola some
of the most important points, but they will
soon be vacant. One is an office not far from
where we write. The lad who has the situa-
ton is losing the first point He likes to at
tend the circus and the theatre. This costs
more money than he can afford, but somehow
he manages to be there frequently. His en-
ployers are quietly watching TO learn how he
gets so much extra spending money; they
will soon detect leak in the money drawer,
detect the dishonest boy, and his place will
be ready for some one who is now getting
ready for it by observing point No. |, and
being truthful in all his ways. Some situa-
tions will soon be vacant, because the boys
have been poisoned by reading bad books,
such as they would not dare to show to their
/ fathers, and would be ashamed to have their
mothers see. The impure thoughts suggested
| by these books will lead TO vicious acts; the
boys will be ruined, and their places must be
filled. Who will be ready for one of these
yaeancies9 Distinguished lawyers, useful
ministers, skilful physicians, successful mer-
chants, must all soon leave their places for
somebody else to fll One by one they are
removed by death. Mind your ten points
boys they will prepare you to step into va
cancies in the front rank. Every man who
is worthy to employ a boy is looking for you,
| if you have the points. Do not fear that
you will be overlooked A young person
having these qualities will shine as plainly as
star at night. We have named ten points
that 60 towards making up the character ef
successful boy, 80 that they can be easily re-
membered. You can imagine one on each
finger, and so keep them in mind---they will
be worth more than diamond rings, and you
will never be ashamed to show your hand" +"
