NATURES WORSHIP.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

The harp at Natures advent strung,
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer Is made, and praise ia given,
By all things near and far;
The ocean looketh up to Heaven
And mirrors every star.
1tI waves are kneeling on the strand,
As knecls the human knee,
Their white locks bowling to the fand
The priesthood of the sea!
They poured their glitter'g treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearls they bring,
And all the listening hills Of earth
Take up their song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many a mountain SHRINE;
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wiue.
The mist above the morning rills
Rise white IS wings Of prayer!
Tie altar curtains of the hills
Are Eunset's purple air.
Thu winds with hymns Of praise are loud,
Or low with sounds Of pain;
The thunder organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears Of rain.
With dropping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues Of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temple arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music Of the starry march
The chorus of a prayer.
So Nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The praycrless heart Of man.

A NEW WAY To DRESS THE HAIR
The PGU Mail Gdzette says: 1t has
been generally supposed that only in
a civilized country could such barba-
rOus fashion of dressing the hair pre-
vail as that by which young ladies
condemn themselves to bear on their
heads those enormous burdens called
chiguOns. 1t appeais however, from
the correspondence relating to Mr..
Forsyth's mission to Iarkund which
has lately beem printed by order of
the house of commons that there is
an old lady of high position in a very
out-Of-the-way spot who has discover
ed and adopted, if possible, more
painful and inconvenient style Of
head-diess than that which eXcites so
much sympathy at home. DZungaria
proper is now divided between the Ia
ranchis and Celmuks.
The Calmucs are ruled by an elderly
woman y Tartar who had returned
from I[uidia related at Fort Vernoe
that he had seen this Calmark ruler
proceeding to an interview with the
chief of the Taranchis. Her hair, he
said hung in long tresseS down her
back. They were so heavey with gold
coins and other precious ornaments
that they had to be supported by two
men as she walked. 1t might be prem
ature as vet to follow the example of
this old lady of DZungaria proper, but
there can be no doubt that bank notes
might be used as curl-papers with the
most pleasing effect, and that any
young lady appearing with her head
thus adorned would not suffer from
admirers.

MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN
There is a tendency, we think, at the
present day, to put children too for
ward. not so. much for the sake of
showing off their extraordinary
to an admiring world, as from the bet
ter motive of early accustOming them
to the conversation of grown people
and the usages of society, and of inspi-
ring them with confidence, ease and
self-pOssession. No doubt these results
are very valuable; but the mistake
which many people make is in forget
ting that children are sometimes like
dogs, which require to be very well
trained before they can easily be rec
commended to the familiarity of stran-
gers. And it is to he remembered that
the moment children cease to respect
any of the grown up people with
whom they associate, not only is the
whole benefit of the intercourse lost
at once, but real injury is inflicted on
the moral tone of the child. For this
reason. children should be brought as
little as possible into the society Of
men and women, who cannot COM
mand their respect; while of those
who can, the influence should he
hedged round by all the numerous inn
palpable barriers which judiciOus par
ents know perfectly how to interpose
between children and the most pOpu-
lar and careless of their adult playiel-
lows. The confidence which well-bred
children repose in an eligible stranger,
without being either rude, or trouble
some, is charming to everybody who
has any natural taste for their society.
But closely allied with the mistaken
license allowed to their children in
matters like the above, is the disposi-
ton to laugh at, and thereby to en-
courage, all traits of singularity, odd
ness. or affection which children rlay
exhibit, as marks of genius, which
ought not to be TepTessed, OF all the
dangerous errors into which parents
can fall. this, in our opinion, is the
worst. For nothing so soon hardens
into second nature az juvenile eccen-
tricity; and few things are more injH
riOus to success in life than marked
oddities of manner and gesture when
they reach the point of grntesqueness.
The majority of the world agree with
Mr. Peter MagDus; they don't see the
necessity of originals. And what is
more, so many originals" are only
sham ones after all. That is to say,
their singularity is merely a bad habit
hich they cant shake off. and is only
very partially innate. When you see
a child doing anything unlike other
children, anything queer, surprising,
or uncouth, however comic, or hOwev-
er clever it may seem, never laugh at
or applaud it. Children, naturally
very self-willed, ard with real natural
peculiaTities, can soon be broken of
Indifference. But once let the idea
find its way into their brains that such
salles. naughty though they be. are
regarded as marks of genius, and the
mischief is done.
To come back to the point from
which we started, the management.
namely, of young children-there is
one thing to be laid down; let there

A JOKE ON REV. DIR BUsIINEII.-A
few days ago two young men went from
Massachusetts TO Hartford 10 make n
visit. They were excellent in every way
and carried little religious cards in their
pockets, with suitable notices, in order
TO SOW seed by the wayside. They were
very anxious to see DIR. Bushnell, and
yet did not feel bold enough to call on the
great man. The relative whom they
were visiting, was engaged in one of the
banks, and told them that the doctor
was in the habit of dropping in there
pretty often and that in fact, he must
come in soon, as there was some money
awaiting him. One morning while the
two were in the bank, thinking that per,
haps the doctor might happen in, an ell
DERBY man with felt hat, put on rather
slouchily, grayish black suit, a biz oak
walking stick, and the air of well-to do
and bluff, outspoken farmer, came in as
though he belonged there, AMI received
4 thick roll of greenbacks from the cash
ier. They had that vile smell which
money much handled gels, and the old
gentleman tit was DIR. Bushnell) began
in his sharp way, to jerk out something
about this "lilthy currency" and TO stig-
Matte it with terms good deal more
iorcible than elegant. The young men
looked at the elderly one with good
deal OF commlseration, and overhauling
their religious cards, picked out one, and
pproaching him, put it into his hand.
1t contained the words care your
thoughts pure :" What the doctor
thought can hardly be imagined, but we
can conjecture what the young men
thought, when their friend came out
from behind the counter, unconscious of
what had passed, and introduced them
to Kew. DIR. Bushnell, Of whose piety
they had heard SO much, and whom they
so greatly desired TO see. History drops
the veil on the scene at Just this point.

We suppose every farmer has decided
by this time, what disposition he will
make Of each of the lots, which lie pro-
poses TO have under cultivation. lie
has fixed upon cprn for one lot, perhaps,
and potatoes for another, and mangolds
or Swcdes for Il third, and no doubt oats,
or barely, or some other grain will have
their places also.
But what roots have you decided on ?
Some root crop is almost indispensable
in good farm economy, especially where
there are mich COWS 10 feed, or swine to
he kept over Us store pi@s. Even if you
do not believe in roots ~ a general feed
for these animals, there ought 10 be Il
reasonable supply rs Il change, or what
lhcy call Il ''c0ndimcnt," or "relish, :"
and we have no doubt an occasional feed
ing of thcrh Is very hcallhtul to all kinds
of stock
The carrot was very highly recon-
mendcd Il few years ago, and for feeding
horses, and indeed fer most stock, it is a
splendid root, and worthy of all the
praise ard rulo.ium that has been given
to il But people get tired of too much
''hol izOntal farming" and rather cult
vatc crops that admit of standing up.
Wedding carrots was found TO he rather
rough ON the backbone In other words,
as crop, 1t requires too much labor,
especially On badly managed and weedy
land. 10 grow carrots 10 advantage
one must be Il good farmer, and good
farmers, mcn who keep their land clean
and flee Of weeds, are the exceptions in
many sections OF tie State, and even
many GOOD farmers have found some
other roots TO pay az well rs carrots
We have just received Il copy of the
Am,uH Of the M'r0 AWicuhuM Coheye
for 1871, and in it is the Report Of the
Farm Superintendent. in which lie re-
cites in detail the number of acres in
each crop, as cultivated last year, 1870,
together with the mode of cultivation,
the cost, etc. land the cost per bllshcl of
elch. OF mangoI,lS he says: "Two
and Il half acres were sown in drills, two
and 4 half feet apart, and Trimmed TO one
foot in the row. They were hoed twice
and cultivated three times. Number of
bushels gathered one thousand and fifty
four. | consider thcm,'' says the Super
lntcndcnt, Mr.. Roberts, ''twcnty-iive per
cent inferior TO carrots, pound for pound.
Total cost, S91 - cost per bushcl nine
and one fourth cents"
Now let us see what he says about
carrots.
''Sowed three and scven-cights acres
in drills, two and half feet apart and
thinncl to eight inches III the row,
Cultivated the same as the mangolds
Product one thousand and twenty-five
bushels. Total cost S1l7.27 cost per
buslcl eleven and half cents"
You see it has taken nearly four acres
Of land to get one thousand and twenty
five bushels, while OF lsangolds he had
one thousand and ffty-four bushels on
two and Il half acres. The carrots cost
nearly twenty-five per cent. more, bushel
for bushcl. l. it not clear, therefore,
that it was greater economy 10 cultivate
the mangolds, even if they are twenty
five per cent. inferior TO the carrots
1t seems to look that way TO us.
