SUNDAY.-ln a prize essay on Sunday,
written by a journeyuan PRIMER in Scotland,
which for singular power of language and

it, and then reflect for while what dreary
and desoste page would this life present if
Sunday were blotted out fiom our calcu.
lalion:
Yoke fellow think how the abstraction
Of Sunday would hopelessly euslave the
working classes, with whom We are Identified.
Think of labor thus going on in one mo.
notOnous and eternal cycle, limbs forever on
the rack, the fingers forever straining, the
brow forever sweating, the feet forever plod
ding, the brain forever throbbng. the shoul-
ders forever dropping, the Ions forever
aching, and the restless mind forever sche-
ming
Think of the beauty it would etface, the
merry heartedness it would extinguish, OF
the giant strength it would tame, of the re
sources of nature it would crush, of the sick
ness it would breed, of the prof CTS it would
wreck, of the groans it would extort, of the
lives it would immediate, and OF the cherries

DREAMS OF THE PAST.

1t is midnight, and I'm thinking
or the time lOng-lOng ago,
Rusted chains together linking
As the life tides ebb aud flow;
Very painful to remember
Is the sad, long buried past,
For stern and chill December
Reaches to my heart at last
Yet, tits still like Heca burning
Ever with H strange unrest;
All the Arctic ices spurning
That may beave above Its breast
So, tonight, m dreaming, dreaming;
Though without the wild winds rave;
And the ghosts of thought seem teeming
With the mildews OF the grave.
When youth-like simple maiden
Knowing uaught of care or strife,
Heart aud brain with fancies laden,
Sat by the stream of life
Now above the heading surges
Love looks downward, weary eyed,
Chanting low and plaintive dirges
To love that early died
Years have passed, and keenest sorrow
Leaves its impress On tue brow
We are older with each morrow,
What we were, we are not now
Frosts are where the scented roses
Blossomed in the olden time,
And sbroud of snow encloses
All our summers glorious prime
Yes, I'm dreaming, so believe it,
OF my far off youthful past,
Culiug garands to relieve it
Ola shadow o'er it cast;
And throughout life's painful durance
Passing on beneath the Rod,
| will bear the glad assurance
OF 0facceptance by my God.

The PRoFITs OF FARMING.-For a man
who is thoroughly in earnest, farming offers
a grand field for effort but the man who is
only halt 10 earnest, who thinks costly barns,
improved stock and nicely rolled lawn are
the great objects Of attainment, may accom-
plish pretty results, but they will be small
ones. So the dilettanti farmer, Who has q
smattering of science, whose head is filled
with nostrums, who thinks his salt will do
it all, who doses his crops now to feebleness
and now to an unnatural exuberance, who
dawdles over his fermentations while the
neighbor's oxen are breaking into his rye
field, who has no managing capacity, no
breadth Of vision. who sends two men to
accomplish the work of one-let such man
give up all hope of making farming lucra-
tive pursuit. But if a man, as we said, be
thoroughly 10 earnest, if he has the sagaclty
to see all over bis farm, to systematic his
labor, to carry out bis plans, punctually and
thoroughly; if he is not above economies,
nor needless of the teachings of science, nor
uuobservant of progress otherwhere-let
him work. for he will have his reward. But
even such a one will never come to his
'four>in.hand,' except they be colts OF his
own raising or to private concerts IN his
own grounds, except what the birds make.

WOMEN PHYSICIANS "A writer in the
last number of Mucmaldns Magazine pleads
for the study and practice Of medicine. He
argues against all the objections commonly
made to such course. and contends that The
opening of this line of life to women would
be Of great advantage to them, BY heighten'
ing the standard of their education, and re-
lieving the tedium of purposeless existences
" No one knows says the writer, p" how
many women there are whose physical and
mental health is now destroyed by the dreary
vacuitY Of the lives they are compelled to
lead. 1t is not true that enforced idleness- =
life empty of any keen interest, empty Of
inVigorating moral and Intellectual discipline

moraIizing. 1t is the immediate parent Of

MARY WALTERS, an English woman, bet

died recently in Paris. She was of that no.

Cora Pearl and Therese belonged at one time

many titled aud untitled men OF wealth.
Once, dining in the BoiS de Boulogne, she

WEIGHT OF PEoPLE.-The average re-
turns show that a citizen of the world, on
the first appearance in public, weighs about
six pounds and half; boy baby little
more, girl baby a little less. Some very
modest babies hardly turn the scale with two
pounds and half, while other preteDtious
youngsters boast of ten or eleven pounds.
When Shylock asked for his pound Of
flesh" he asked for an equivalent to little
less than the sixth Of blby. How the tiny
one grows during childhood we need not
trace here but it may be interesting tc know
that girls and boys OF twelve years Of age are
nearly equal in weight; after which limit
males are heavier than females of the same
age. Young men of twenty average hun,
dred and forty three pounds each, while the
young women of twenty average hundred
and twenty pounds. Men reach their heavr
est bulk at about thirty five, when their
average weight is about hundred aud Gfty>
two pounds; but the women slowly fatten
until fifty, when their average weight is a
hundred and twenty nine pounds Men aud
women together, their weight at full growth
averages about twenty tunes as heavy as they

course. averages are here only meant. The
averages we're formed from men ranging from

WHO ARE SAFE ?

1t is unsafe for a susceptible person, that
is person who has not been vaccinated, or
has not had the smallpox, (no matter how
much be is disinfected,) to be in the same
room, or in the same house, with a patient
with the smallpox. 1t has been caught by

GRASS derives large portion Of its
substance from the atmosphere. The
aftermath decays on the surface and
becomes manure, and the roots accu-
mulate 10 the soil. Hence grass exhausts
the soil but little compared with other
cIops, and we are able to appropriate
the manure made from the hay to other
crops. 1t would be better economy to
take of three or four er fSe crops Of
hay, and then plough, manure, and
reseed, thus maturing the meadow once
in three, four, or Eve years, and giving
IL one, or still better, two bushels O.
pltster each year, and use the manure
from the hay, 10 the intervening years
for other crops.
