An essay based on an examination of the

The object of this work is to point out the

agricutturist may learn not only the practi-
cal, but also the theoretical part of all the
branches of his trade. And this by practical

likely to become much more remunerative.

Boyle O'Reillsy. f
In this little volume we recognize gen
uine, original and vigorous poetic talent, at
present unequal and not reaching the highest
attainment OF which it displays the possibili-
ties. The singular scenery and climate of
Australia-iaud of birds without song, flow
srs without scent and trees without fruit !;
the wild life OF the bush; the sadness OF .
country peopled by crime, which even owes
10 oasil<~Li0Is ~ s.e r--.~Aa-s~ l...s
these influences have cut and ground as .
diamond, the genius of the poet. To his
mind, occupied per force with the stern, hard
aspects of life, unconsciously penetrated the
subtle glow Of the wild luxuriant beauty
around him. In his own words:
1t may be, 1 have left the higher CLEANS
OF skies and flowers unheeded or forgot;
It may be so.-but, looking back, it seems
When was with them beheld them not.
was no ramblins poet, but . man
Hard-pressed to dig and delve with nsught Of eas<
The hot day thro. gh, save when the evenings fan
Of sea-winds rustled through the kindly trees.
And it is largely to this that he owes his
earnestness, his remarkable power of con-
densation of thought and expression. He is
no iterdtuer in npursuit of brilliant and novel
ideas, of graceful and felicitous terms of ex-
pression-but a man who, in the midst of
cherries circumstances, feels and appreciates
with the receptive sense of the true poet, the
harmonies of earth and sky, the solemn
chords struck by sea and shore-this SYM
phony whose dissonances are the sins of man.
The leading poem of the volume, ''The
King of the Vase" IS founded on tradition
of the times Of the early Swedish emigration
to Australia.
Before the young land saw the OLD lands sins
Sail up the orient ocean, like cloud
Far-blown, and widening as 1t neared,-a shroud
Fate-sent to wrap the bier Of all things pure,
Amt mark the leper-land while stains endure.
The '.King Of the Vasse' is written with
great clearness, power aud beauty; and in it
the finest traits of Mr.. O'Reiliy's style are
displayed. fa s
'The Amber Whale is graphic story of
the sea-at once full of life and mysterious,
like the foam that drifts lightly above the
depths of the waves. ali
The familiar tale Of the "Flying Dutch
man" is retold with realistic clearness OF de-
tail and Mr.. o Reilly's fresh touch gives new
interest to the sombre legend. l..
The remaining poems are less meritorious.
''The Dog Watch and the "Dukite Snake,
although powerfully written, are too hldeous
in subject for the purposes OF art
If Mr.. O'Reill in his future writings, do
not fall Tar short Of the promise given by the
admirable qualities of the present volume, he
will, we believe, take a prominent place
among the strong singers of to day. We close
our notice by reprinting these vivid lines to
Australia, which form the introduction to a
oager poem. s sag4 ela

For Ladies'.

An article well calculated to please the
ladies, and therefore deplete the purses of
the gentlemen, is the American Lapboard,
comparatively recent patent, of much
more than ordinary value. The board is
pronounced by ladies who have used it to
be convenience which when once pro-
cured will always be retained. The front
of the board rests upon the lap, while its
other side is supported by two light mov-
able legs. There is also third support,
which can be lowered at the pleasure of
the person using the article, to hold it in
position when it becomes necessary to
leave it. Along one side, neatly marked
in the wood, is a yard measure. Although
the board is large-a2X44 inches-it is so
well made and adapted to the purposes
for which it is intended, that it is by no
| means heavy. Ladies who do needle
work, and those who while away their
leisure time with fancy work, or the con-
struction of wax flowers, will find them
selves equally we'll pleased with this con-
venient, useful and decidedly practical
| article. The general agent is J. A Archi.
| bald, whose headquarters are at 16l Put.
nam street, Cleveland. The agent in this
place is Mr.. l.. C. Mcintosh.

The Sabbath School Concert at the Nj. +.
Church, on the evening of the 10Th ult, was
pleasant and profitable entertainment.
The house, though large, was crowded,
there being no services in either of the
other churches. The Scripture recita-
ton was well executed by class of young
ladies and gentlemen; also recitation by
a class of nine little girls all dressed in
white, each having letter wrought in
evergreen, of the sentence, "GOd is Love, !,
! each repeating a short stanza and holding
up their letter to spell the words. The
"Lords Prayer" by eight little ones was
nicely done: as also u "Bit of Sermon
