COurtship Customs.

There is something exceedingly melancho-
Iy in the accounts which are given of the
custom Of oourtship in Greenland. Gener-
ally M enter upon the blessed estate
with more willingness and less solicitude
than men. The women Of Greenland are
an exception to this rule. A Greenlander,
having fixed his affections upon some female,
acquaints his parents with the state of his
heart. They apply to the parents Of the
girl, and if the parties thus far are agreed,
the next point is to appoint two female nego-
%tiators, whose duty it is to breach the sub
ject to the young lady. This is a matter of
great tact and delicacy. The lady amhassa~
doris do not shock the young lady to whom
they are sent by any sudden or abrupt avow-
al Of the awful subject Of their mission. In
stead o doing this they launch out in prais-
es of the gentleman who seeks her hand =
They speak Of the splendor of his house, the
sumptuousness of his furniture, of his conr-
age and skill in fishing and catching seals,
and other accomplishments. The lady, pre-
tending to be affronted at these remote hints,
runs away, tearing the ringlets Of her hair
as she r%etires, while the ambassadresses,
having got the consent Of her parents, pur-
sue her, drag her from her concealment,
take her by force to the house of her destin-
ed husband. and there leave her. Compel
led to remain there, she sits for days with
disheveled hair, silent and detected, refus-
ing every kind of sustenance. till Mt last, If
kind entreaties do not prevail, she is COM
PEELED by force, and even by blows, to sub
nit to the detested union. In some cases
Greenland women faint at the proposals of
marriage in others, they fly to the noun
tains, and only return when compelled to do
so by hunger and cold. If one cuts off her
hair, it is a sure indication that she is deter
mined to resist to the death. All this APP
pears so unnatural to us that we seek for
the reason of such an apparent violation of
the first principles of human nature. The
Greenland wife is the slave of her husband,
doomed to the life of toll, drudgery and pri-
walton and if he dies, she and her children
have no resources against starvation. The
married state is a miserable condition, while
w%idowhood is a still more appalling fate.

DREAMS OF THE PAST.

BY SALLIB F. WALKER.
The flowers long faded, bloom again,
The fountains gush, the breezes play,
Spring yiolets peep from the messy dell,
The forest rings with the wild birds lay;
BY the ripping stream the ivy twines,
The tree bent low by the wintry blast,
But at eve, the signing zephyrs, low
Whisper to me, a dream of the past.
When Life's dark wave are tossing high,
Against my bark that's sinking low,
Stray sunbeams lend their rays awhile,
And light my heart with m emory's glow.
Ills sweet to wander back again;
A holy spell is DER me cast,
In my moth er's arms l rest again,
L dream not she sleeps with the past.
Again I wander on the banks,
Where oft in sunny youth I've strayed,
Ipluckt the flowers that kiss the stream,
Or deck the silent, lonely glade.
No shadows cross my youthful heart,
But ah it cannot always last,
The flowers die, the sunbeafns fade.
A~nd'those I love, sleep with Mepass.
Another jewe1dSlnrmI by time,
In nnsfnoryos casket glitters bright,
An image that unchanged by time,
Shall never perish from my sight.
Yes! we met, we loved, we parted,
Ger our hearts a shadow is cast.
For evermore our love must be
+. Buried with the mouldering past.

WE'LL ALL MEET AGAIN IN THE MORNING.
Such was the exclamation Of a dying child,
as the red rays Of the summer lstreamed
through the easement. e 81
"Good-bye, papa, goodbye! Mamma has
come for me tonight. Don't cry, papa!
We'll all meet again in the morning !"
1t was as if an angel had spoken to that
father, and his heart grew lighter under his
burden, for something assured him that his
little one had gone to Him who said-':Suf-
fer little children to come unto Me, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven" a+i
There is something cheerful to all who are
in trouble in this: "We'll all meet again in
the morning" 1t rouses up the fainting soul
like a trumpet blast, and frightens away for
ever the dark shades thronging the avenue
of the outer life. Clouds may gather upon
our path, disappointment gather round us
like an army with banners but this cannot
destroy the hopes within, if we have the mot
to upon our lips, call will be right in the
morning
If you were to die tonight, would it be
well with you in the morning?

USEFULNESS OF BIRDs.-In many parts of
the country birds seem to be decreasing from
year to year. Many farmers believe that
birds are of no service, but rather an injury
to crops. The rising generation are delight
ed to find some mark at which to exercise
their shooting talent, and SO the birds are
slaughtered out of mere sport. 1t is a ques-
ton whether the country is not greatly the
loser by their wantonness. The number of
insects hurtful to vegetation, which birds
destroy during the year is immense. They
do inestimable service in the orchards and
gardens in Kidding us Of bugs and vermin,
which, ifleft to breed and accumulate, would
often destroy whole crops. The amount of
damage which birds do is very small. They
may, it is true, pick a kernel here or there
from the grain crops, but this ought not to
be begrudged to such indefatigable workers,
while cleaning the fields of innumerable enc.
mics of vegetation.
Recently State laws have been enacted
protecting birds during the breeding season,
but they are scarcely observed, and the
opinion of farmers generally is against birds
as in any way useful. 1t is a serious mis-
take, and one from which we shall be likely
to suffer if greater care be not taken in their
protection.

REMEDY FOR THE PEACH WoaM.-There
is a handy means for the destruction of this
heretofore fatal enemy to the peach tree,
which is certain, beyond peradventure 1t
is simple, of easy application and expeditions.
1t consists Of the use of boiling water appli-
ed to the collar of the tree, in quantities va
rying according to the age of the tree-in
small trees, say one inch in diameter, half a
pint is sufficient, and a pint is enough for
larger ones. Remove the earth from around
the. tree a few inches from the body and a
few inches in depth, and just pour the wa
ter boiling hot on the exposed roots, and it
will kill every egg as well as worm. with
positive, certainty. It has been tried time
and again, upon trees that have been more
than half Killed, and a perfect restoration has
been the result in every case. No danger
need be apprehended from the effects of the
hot water upon. the trees. unless q large
quantity is applied to a very small tree
When a large number of trees is to be oper-
ated upon, a fire should be made in the orch
ard for heating the water, so that it can be
boiling hot. h III nj

GREEN-CU HAY.-Very scasonably the
question of the great advantage of cutting
hay when in a green state has, been taken up
by some of our agricultural publications, al
though there can be no doubt concerning the
-propriety of doing so for every farmer who
cuts a second crop knows how superior it is
for milk producing and feeding purposes
generally, when compared with hay which
has been cut while in a ripe state, and when
almost all the saccharine matter in it has
gone to constitute woody fibre. s1'le if 7fa
No season has been so favorable for a tri-
al of the early moving plan than the pres
cnt, which SO fax, as we can learn, promises
to be good for two crops-if the first is sea-
sonably harvested-and when the rowen or
.seeondlerop may turn out as liberal %inquan-
titys as the first one. The SUBJECTS one fair
mer would do well to think over and act up,
on, even should hoeing be partially neglect
ed when the moving season comes. In
connection with the subject the method of
drying hay in the shade, in the cock, and
partially in the NOV, may also be consider
