I gaze upon the dull, grey waste of sea,

Along the shore the lettering wayeIets creep,
Like unbound captives fearing to be free;
The cattle SILVER on the marshy lea,
Which seems less torpid than the neighbouring
deep,
For DER the plain the mists of evening sweep,
Stirred by a breath that has no voice for me.
0 weary world! 0 dreary life !! | cry,
Better the tempest roaring up to heaven,
The thunder crash, the sky with lightning riven,
Than all this vacant, dread monotony =
Better to die while battling for the palm,
Than live to stagnate in ignoble calm!
But as l spoke, a flash of glorious light
Cleaned from The west. 1t was a kiss Of peace,
A premonition Of the days decease,-
And suddenly the leaden waves grew BRIGHT,
And smiled and laughed as the sun said Good
nightI
Till /, o~'erjoyed at Natures sweet caprice,
Felt all the discord of my spirit cease,
Soothed by Gods beauty, strengthened by Gods
might;
Q fair glad world! I said, 0 earth, that holds
Unnumbered treasures on thy ample breast
o Love Divine, that all these gifts enfolds
Within the sacred circle Of thy restl
With these and Thee, Life's fretfuI troubles end,
Forgetting both, we lose in each, a friend.

presents advantages such as no other As
surance Company, l~abouring in the same
field, can offer. Its scale Of Premiums,
Tough considerably lower than that OF

cient TO create large SURPRISES, out OF
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging

Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of 90 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part 70
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting

FARM IND OUSEHOLD.
The Earth.ClOset.

A Philadelphia correspondent would like
to know ''who is Mr.. Moule, and what is
an earth-closet of his pattern ?'' Mr..
Moule is minister in England-vicar, we
believe, of Fordington, Dorset. The sub
ject of utilizing the ejecta of the population
having been largely discussed in Europe
by Mr.. Mechi, of Tiptree Hall, and other
members of the Royal Agricultural Society,
Mr.. Moule, few years ago, made an adj
vance movement, which if followed, prom
ises to come nearer than any previous at
tempt to the solution of the problem.
The chief principle or first fact upon
which Mr.. Moule's system is based, is the
power of dry, pulverised earth, especially
clay, to absorb and retain ammonia, and
other fertilizers, without arresting their
decomposition. This, used as a substitute
for water in cities, is the reform he urges.
The mode of action is the delivery of
small quantity of prepared earth directly
upon the deposit. Sufficient earth for a
days use of an ordinary family may ac-
cording to Mr.. Moule's statement, be car
ried in a coal hod; and Mr.. Mechi cites an
instance where CARLOAD and a half ser
we'd school of fifty-five boys for six
months. The same earth may be dried
and used repeatedly, each repetition in
creasing its value asa manure, and, within
certain limits, not lessening its deodorizing
qualities. "Its daily removal will be as
unabjectionable as though it were coal
ashes"
Mr.. Moule thinks that surface-soll may
be brought to the city, and returned to the
garden or field from which it was taken in
the same manner as straw Cor stables is
now brought and returned. Companies,
says he, will be formed which will take
upon themselves the working expenses, and
find at least sufficient profit after paying
thirty shillings per ton. The poor might
have revenue, and the servants of the rich
some gratuities, since much less sum
than that named would pay for supplying,
removing, and drying the earth. He esti-
mates that if one fifth of the inhabitants
of Great Britain were to adopt this reform,
million tons of manure, equal to guano
would each year be added to the supply of
fertilizers. and Home.

peaches, pears and punches in bushel slat

STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE.-The time
for serving up this delicious fruit is at
hand, and the following receipts may be
acceptable:
For SHORT CAKE.-Into three pints of
-four, rub dry, two heaping teaspoonfuls of
a little salt, one teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in a pint of milk or water Mix
quickly and thoroughly; roll to an inch in
thickness, and bake twenty minutes in
quick oven. Take quart of strawberries
and add cream and sugar to make a sauce
For this purpose, small-sized, rather acid
berries, with sprightly flavor, are prefera-
bic. When the short cake is done, divide
it in three layers, butter them, and spread
the Strawberries between, and you have Il
dish fit for a wedding. Eat while warm.
STRAWBERRY PIE.-Take your strawbcr-
ries after being hulled, place them in
deep dish. Two quarts of berries will
make three pies. Add to the berries one
and half tea-cups of maple-favored sugar;
with desert spoon mash the berries and
sugar together; make your crust as fof
other pies; fill yonr pie-plates with the ber-
ries as mixed; when full, cover with braid
ed crust, or in strips, as for tarts. Bake in
quick oven, and you will have delicious
pie.
STRAWBERRY JAM.-For every pound of
Strawberries, take three-quarters of pound
of sugar. The berries should be mashed
in preserving kettle, and the sugar thor
oughly mixed with them. Boil from TWEEN
ty minutes to half an hour, stirring con-
stantly.
YEAST FOR Hot WEATHER.-The sub
joined recipe for yeast, adapted to hot
weather or hot climates, is given in Nor
gan's Trade Journal:
"Boil two ounces of the best hops in
quarts of water for half an hour; strain it,
and let the liquor cool down to new-milk
warmth. Then put in a small handful of
salt and half a pound of sugar (brown;)
beat up one pound of the best flour with
some of the liquor, and mix all well togeth-
en-. The third day add three pounds of po-
tatoes, boiled and mashed, and let it stand
until the next day. Then strain, and it is
ready for use.
''Stir frequently while making, and keep
near fire. Before using, stir well. 1t
will keep two or three months in a cool
place.
81 Kept this two months in a cellar,
where the thermometer ranged between 90
and 104 degrees.
"This yeast is very strong; half the
usual quantitp necessary for baking is
sufficient.
