Poetry.
Work and Wait.

A husbandman who many years
Had plowed his fields and sown IN tears
Grew weary with his doubts and fears.
sI toll in vain These rocks and sands
Will yield no harvest to my hands;
The best seeds rot in barren lands.
Ny dropping vine is withering;
No promised grapes its blossoms bring;
No birds among its branches sing.
My fock is dying on the plain,
The heavens are brass-they yield no rain:
The ear tn is iron-I toll in vain u
While yet he spake a breath had stirred
His dropping vine, like wing of bird.
And from his leaves voice he heard
THE germs and fruits Of life must be
Forever hid in mystery,
Yet none can toll in vain for Me.
A mightier hand. more skilled than thine,
Must hang the clnsters on the vine,
And make the fields with harvest shine.
Man can but work God; can create;
But they who work, and watch and wait,
Have their reward, though 1t come late.
Look up to heaven behold and hear
The clouds and thunderings in thy ear
An answer to thy doubts and fear"
He looked. and To- cloud -draped car.
With trailing smoke and flames afar,
Was rushing from distant star.
And every thirsty flock and plain
Was rising up to meet the rain
That came to clothe the fields with grain.
And on the clouds he saw again
The covenant of God with men,
Rewritten with His rainbow pen:
Seed time and harvest shall not fail.
And though the gates of heaven assail.
My truth and promise shall prevail

KEEP IT TO YoURsELF.-You have
trouble; your feelings are injured, your
husband is unkind, your wife frets, your
home is not pleasant, your brethren do
not treat you just right, and things in
general move unpleasantly. Well, what
of 1t? Keep it to yourself A shoulder
ing fire can be found and extinguished
but when the Goals are scattered who can
pick them up? Bury your sorrow. The
place for sad and disgusting things is un-
der the ground. A sore finger is not
benefited by pulling off the rags, and
sticking it in everybody's face; tie it up
and let it alone; it will get well itself
sooner than you can cure it. Charity
coyereth a multitude of sins. Things
thus covered are often cured without a
scar but when they are once published
and confded to meddling friends, there
is no eud to the trouble they may cause.
Keep it to yourself. Troubles are trans
lent, and when sorrow is healed and
past, what comfort it is to say, " No
one ever knew it until it was over with

Our dull hearts are full of tenderness
on two occasions, when we meet and
when We part ; as all stars seem LARGER
and shine with milder rays when they
rise and when they set than when they
are directly over our heads.

Curious Epitaphs.


From "Book of Epitaphs, Quaint,

When man thinks that nobody cares
for him, and that he is alone in cold
and selfish world, he would do well to
ask himself what he has done TO make
anybody care for and love him, and to
warm the world with faith and generosi-
ty. Generally those who complain the
most have done the least.

WILD MEN. All Berlin has been run
ming to see the w0dmenSchen, Adrian
JefIichjeu and his little son Fedor, from
the province Of Kestroma, ii. Great Russia.
The popularity Of these individuals is that
their faces, and their bodies as we'll, are
covered with hair, as thick, at all events
in the case of the father, as any wild beasts.
The learned are disputing about the causes
of this strange phenomenon, of the genu-
~ineness of which there car be no doubt.
Whatever view we take of the matter, the
wazdmensch certainly presents a very curl
Gus sight, the only visible feature Of his
face being just the tip of bis nose peeping
through the tangled mass of hair which
hides all the rest. The child is rather
pretty, aud his little whiskers, Of the CO.
Jour and general appearance of the down
on a duckling, look rather becoming than
otherwise. The phenomenon is quite gen
uine and very curious. Another PECULIAR
tv about the aoaldmenschen, father and son,
is that they have very few teeth, and none
in the upper jaw. An eminent physiolo-
gist of Berlin is said to have shed tears of
iov when he cast eyes upon these hairy
specimens of humanity, and to have ex-
pressed the hope that 1.-the race would not
be allowed to die out" There is no &C
counting for tastes.

Keep it by protection from rain, dew, and mist. How
ever dry it may be made by artificial means, it will
absorb the hygrometric moisture of the atmosphere,
which could be excluded only by hermetical sealing.
This amount Of moisture, which is not perceptIhle to
the sight or touch, in no way interferes with It's eficien-
cy. But it must be air-dry, or it will not fully accom-
plish its purpose.
The best and cheapest drying apparatus is the
sun and wind of a summer-day. During a drought the
parched surface of naked land is in precisely the con-
dition needed for use, and a years supply may then be
taken into a close out-buiIding or q dry cellar, and
stored until wanted. Those who have not made or
cannot make this provision may store damp earth in a
well-ventilated dry place from which mIsts can he
excluded, and in a shorter or longer time, according
to the climate, it will become dry, just as bread so
kept would do. The writer once had a commode IN
constant use for nine months, and nearly all Of his win
ter's supply of earth was dried and redried IN a hogs
head living on its side, its open end facing the south,
being protected from rain and mist by a close screen
of rough boards leaning against ii. The sun had very
little chance at it, but the wind had, and the drying
was sufficiently rapid for such a limited supply as was
needed for one cOmmode.
In the country, where earth is plenty, and where
there is use on the farm or in the garden for the
manure, it will be best 10 compost the accumulation OF
the closet until required for use, and to supply the
closet with fresh earth not because it is more etfec-
tive than that which has been several times used, but
because it is better 10 have the manure as bulky as
possible, for each of even distribution. But in towns,
and in all cases in which the manure has to be trans
ported to a distance. making it desirable that it be as
concentrated as possible, the same earth should be
used over and over again. 1t has been demonstrated
that the same earth may be used six or seven times
over, without losing its efficiency as a deodorizer.
Earth owes its deodorizlng power 10 both It's clay

A ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide fer the
risk Of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
9nt to create large surpIuses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2 6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,

in a heap, under cover, to dry. After having been
once used, they are sufficiently free from dust Soft
coal ashes should always be weued, and then dried be-
fore being used, and they would probably be improved
by being mixed half and halo VITA earth. The ashes,
which are now a nuisance, would by being used IN
this way be converted into a good manure and after
removal from the closet for the fourth or fifth time,
having been left in a heap for the decomposition OF
their solid feces, they may be handled without the
east %offense. In fact, no one would at all suspect,
leither from their appearance or from their odor, that
they contained the least %impurity.
MI. J. B Smith,, gardener at East Hart
ford, Connecticut, makes the supplying of earth TO
closets and the removal of the accumulatiOns a very
considerable source of manure. He has a clay soil,
and the only preparation he gives it is to store it ~
bulk ia a large bin in his wOod-shed. BY keeping a
few months supply ahead, he finds il will always be-
come sufficiently dry without any artificial heat In a
similar way, at Newport, Rhode Island, a considerable
amount of valuable manure is obtained by supplying
earth to closets, and no other means of preparation
are found to be necessary. It is needless to say that
the cost of attendance is amply repaid by the value
ofthe manure obtained and farmers and gardeners
would always find it to their advantage to encourage
the introduction of the earth system in their n%eighbor-
hoods, for the sake of the manure that the supply of
earth to closets would give them.

In the respect of his people,
In the affection Of his family,

Unawed by opinion,
Unseruced by flattery,
Undismayed by disaster,
He contemplated life with antique cour.
And death with Christian hope.
In the great civil war
He withstood his people for his country
But his people did homage to the man
Who held his conscience higher than
