ompcsed for Che Adelphian Offering, by men,
Der Of the society, organized at B. Seminary.
sTis winter, and the chilling snow
Lies on the hills and plains below,
And round my home the bleak winds blow.
lis cold and cheerless out to-day
hear a thoughtless sister say,
And time moves wearily away"
III wish, she sighs "fwcre summer time,
OF that my home were In some cline,
Where earth Is always in her prime
! love the bowers where blooms the rose,
The banks on which the violet grows,
Where soft and warm the South wind blows
piuc TO reach the Summer Shore,
Where wintry winds with solemn roar,
Might sweep across my path no more
lore not natures stormy moods,
Nor yet her wrathful swollen floods;
Wild tempests sweeping thro' the woods,
Wake terror in my timid heart
TIL all my dreams Of joy depart,
Aud phantoms dread before me start"
Thus sighs my sister day by day,
While wintry hours glide fast away,
Yet when It's March she sighs for May.
Not thus I look on earth's repose,
The leaves may fade, or droop the rose,
Yet still my heart with peace o'erfows.
Nature love in every mood,
Her changing scenes, or mild, or rude,
Cali out my hearts deep gratitude.
For well know the Father loves
The wailing winds and tempests prove,
No less than fiowery field and grove.
To me the world with beauty glows,
And the same hand that paints the rose
Forms in the clouds the drifting SHOWS.
And when its pure white chrystals fall,
Like jewewes down the aerial wall,
Joy, that earth receives th,m ALL
And on her bosom where they lay,
know, ere long, the winds Of May
Will wake the leaves and blossoms gay.
Thus through life of toll and care,
Run the bright threads of praise and prayer,
And sunshine greets me everywhere.
There are no dark and dreary days,
To those who tread loves shining ways,
But all are bright with wisdom rays.
No fading flowers or autumn's rain,
NO wailing winds or desert plain,
Can give them thought or sense Of pain.
Not cen the sere or withered leaf,
Or quick winds sobbing out their grief,
For summer hours that sumed too brief
Can mar the soul-felt harmonies
That with our thoughts and feelings rise,
y When faith reveals her cloudless skies.
We dwell above earth's clouds and storms,
We leave the cold embrace of forms,
When love of truth our spirit warns.
When comes to us the habitude,
OF thinking all things wise and good,
Then is our soul with strength endued.
Then do we drop our load of fear,
And rising to higher sphere,
We breathe purer atmosphere.
The outer and the inner life
Doth lay aside its ancient strife,
In every heart where love is rife
And nature fair in every mood,
Win wake our soul-felt gratitude,
And give us joy when understood.

'The simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches, to which many 9th
machines are liable, and which has hitherto
brought the ''chain stitch into disrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy of its
movements, and the entire absence of all noise,
even when running at the rate of 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
a great recommendation to it, Another merit is
the good workmanship. The parts are made in
terchangeable so that in the event Of accident to
the machine, any part can be replaced, at a tri-
fling cost. 1t is, indeed, mechanical wonder

black as coal, aud his head fiery red.
To say that the owner Of the brute was

cruelty, and in short time thereafter
the boy might have been seen with a
part of his person as red as the dog, and
