BY JEAN IN6ELOW.

There was oncea castaway,
And she was weeping, weeping bitterly
Kneeling aud crying with heart sick cry,
That checked itself in sobs, ooh, my good
namei
Nay; and Enlightened and the storm bolts fell,
Aud the rain splashed upon the roof, and still, I'D

She cried with an exceeding bitter cry,

And rolled and rocked her on her knees, and
The frail foundation Of her dwelling place;

He might have seen her crying on her knees,
And sobbing /" Lost, lost lost!'s beating her
breast
Der breast forever prieked with cruel thorns.
Dye good woman! it is hard to leave
The paths of virtue and return again.
What if this sinner wept and none of you
Comforted bel !. aud what If she did strive .us,
To mend and none of you believed her strife,
Nor looked upon her!
But beseech M, ss
Your patience. Once in old Jerusalem
A woman kneeled at consecrated feet,

And she is moi alone; the heavy rain
Splashes without, and sullen thunder rolls,
Butshe is lying at the sacred feet
Of One trnsfgured.
And her tears flow down,
Down to her lips-her lips that kiss the print,
OF nails; and love is like to break her heart
Love and repentance for it still doth work

OLD uAh---LeVi onoW, OF Lower, VT, has
been feeding out hay this spring, that has
been in the barn thirty-four years, and it
came out green, bright and sound. Cattle
ate it as well, and it was as good in every
respect as hay grown last summer.
EARLY BEARING OF FRUIT TREEs.-We
have not the least doubt that allowing trees
to bear heavily when young is injurious
both to the health of the tree and its future
bearing. We have noticed upon our own
premises on several occasions that whenever
we allowed young trees to bear unreasonably
1t affected Its future bearing for two or three
years. We have since reduced the early
product of tree to from one to three speci
mems, and have found the trees afterwards
to go on bearing regularly. 1t is the same
case when tree, of whatever age it NAV he
is permitted to mature three times as mnch
fruit as it ought to do.
STRIPED BUes.-Dr. G. w. Norton. of La
Sale Co. says, these troublesome pests NAV
be kept from cucumber, squash and melon
vines, by the following method just as the
young plants are beginning to break ground.
go TO the poultry house and scrape up hen
manure enough from about the roots, to fill
pail quarter full. Fill the pail up with
water, and stir till they are all mixed.
-Four this upon the ground till it is well
saturated, and throw some of it on the
plant with paddle if they are above
ground. This substance does good in two
ways; its smell is so offensive that if will
drive away and keep away all bugs and
other insects, and its fertilizing power is so
great that the plants grow with great ra
pidlty. In case the rain washes off all this
mixture, causing it to be carried down into
the soil, second or even a third applica-
ton may be necessary. But the oftener it
is applied the greater will be the growth of
the vines.

The Power Of Sympathy.

Under the head of " A True Incident I"
the Missouri Presbyterian relates this story !:
A few weeks ago ladies, awaiting convey
ance to the cars, met in the parlor of hotel
at Lepox, Massachusetts, They were stran-
gers to each other. One was from this city,
the other from Staten Island, New York
Both were clad in deep mourning, and it was
very evident that those garments of woe COW
cred broken hearts that beat responsibility
Each felt strongly drawn towards each other
by sympathy of kindred sorrow and, after
repeatedly exchanging kindly, tender looks,
the New York lady addressed the other:
"You, too, journey this morning q
eyes, we have long Journey before u.s."

You Missouriass must have had sad

Indeed. madam, no one can tell what
many of us have gone through"
Did you sympathise with the Southern
people?"
s'Yes, Madam; for am native of Mis-
souri,, and knew the sufferings of the people
in the seeding States; and, more than all,
my own child was Confederate soldier and
was killed."
"And I, too, my friend, lost my only son
in the Federal army"
And with that the mother of the Union
soldier arose, crossed the room, grasped the
hand and kissed the cheek of the mother of
the Confederate brave, saying as she did SO,
!" Your son and mine laid down their lives,
each convinced that he was doing his duty"
This incident is strictly true. That noble
Confederate boy was inexpressibly dear to
the writer of these lines. God bless the
New York woman whose tears of her own
dead also mingled with those of the mother
of her sons slain enemy. The war is over,
the children arrayed against each other are
killed and their mothers are at peace.

Unity in Family Government.

In the whole community, not the head Of
family can be found, who does not know,
who will not acknowledge, that unity, both
in theory and in practice, between father and
mother Of family, is absolutely essential to
the proper government of children, and that
difference in parental administration is fatal
to the best interests of those who are its un-
fortunate subjects. Even in those unhappy
opinion exists between the father and mother,
in regard to the best modes or means Of fami-
ly government, if they have any vestige Of
good sense remaining, or any glimmering per-
ceptions of propriety, they will keep that diff
ference to themselves. When before their
children, it will be one of the interdicted SUBJ
iects of conversation, and they will earnestly
endeavor that the practical administration of
the one shall not counterwork that of the
other. What deplorable consequences must
result from an open collision between those to
whom allegiance is jointly due! How can
children ever learn to obey, when command
issued by one parent is countcrmanded by
the other? What salutatory efficacy can there
ever be in dicipline, when the half corrected
child is snatched from the hand that is adj
ministering punishment, and the offender is
left to read his present justification, and his
future IMMUNITY, in the rebuke which is given
to the corrector? What self denial will a
child ever learn to practice, if a dainty for
hidden to him by one parent is openly and
secretly given to him by the other? A state
of anarchy is bad enough, in which to rear
up children; but two hostile soyereigns, al.
ternately exercising their authority, granting
exemption from each others laws, and vainly
striving to enforce their own, would ruin any
kingdom, though it's subjects were angels.
