THE eHILpREN,s CHURCH.


IFROM THE GERMAN OF PAUL GERoK.l i 3
The bells of the churches are ringing
Papa and mama have both gone % q
And three little children sit singing .r.
Together this still Sunday morn a---r
While the bells toll away in the steepIe,
Though too small to sit still in 8 pew,
These busy religious small people e.
Determined to have their church too.
So, as free as the birds or the breezes .-r-
BY which their fair ringlets are famed,
Each rogue sings away as he pleases,
90 With book upside down in his hand. T
Their hymn has no sense in its letter,
% Their music no rhythm nor tune
Our worship, perhaps, may be better,
But theirs reaches God quite as soon.
Their angels stand close to the Father - @
His heaven is made bright by these flowers !;
And the Siear God above us would rather
Hear praise from their lips than from ours.
Sing on, little children, your voices 81.
Fill the air with contentment and love;
All nature around You rejoices,
.e- And the birds warble sweetly abOve.a ..l.
Sing on, for the proudest orations,
The Hturgies sacred and long. a.s.. -
The anthems and worship of nations,
Are poor to your innocent song. "a a-.r
Sing on, our devotion is colder, EEs. =
FL. InOuBn wisely our prayers may DC Planned,
For often we, too, who are older,
Hold our book the wrong way in our hand.
Sing on, our harmonic inventions
We study with labor and pain
Yet often our angry contentious Cd
Take the harmony out Of our strain.
Sing on, all our struggle and battle, "-
Our cry, when most deep and sincere;
What are they? A child's simple prattle,
A breath in the Infinite ear E
Hdrpe7's Mdgdzine.

Would were there in the woods together T.
Two little birds in the midsummer weather
Out Of the winter, away from the sorrow,
With, think of it never thought of the morrow
Up in the trees, whose branches are swinging,
They sit in the soft airs, singing, singing III
song in which youth and passion are blended,
That is always beginning, and never ended ! q
Look at them there now, sitting, sitting
Where owls are hooting, and bats fitting
One is singing. the other is sleeping,
While the Lady Noon through the leaves is peep

And now look at us, whose years are doubled, ~
We have missed so much, and have been so
troubled; -r
Would we were there in the woods together
Two happy birds in the midsummer weather.

The surfBoard Sport at HiIo, Sand
witch Islands.


HilO is one of the very few places on
these islands where you can see a truly
royal sport-the surf-board. Itrequires
a rough day and heavy surf, but with
a good day it is one of the finest sights
in the world.
The surf-board is a tough plank about
two feet wide and from six to twenty
feet long, usually made of the bread
fruit tree. Armed with these, a party
of tall, muscular natives swim out to
the first line of breakers, and, watching
their chance to duck under this, make
their way finally, by the help of the
under-tow, into the smooth water far
off beyond all the surf. Here they bob
up and down on the swell like so many
ducks, watching their opportunity.
What they seek is a very high swell,
before which they place themselves, Iy-
ing or kneeling on the srrf-board. The
great wave dashes onward, but as its
bottom strikes the ground, the top, un-
retarded in its speed and force, breaks
into a huge comber, and directly before
this the surf board swimmer is propelled
with a speed which we timed and found
to exceed forty miles per hour. In fact,
he goes like lightning, always just
ahead of the breaker, and apparently
down hill, propelled by the vehement
impulse of the roaring wave behind
him, yet seeming to have a speed and
motion of his own.
1t is a very surprising sight to see
three or four men thus dashed for near
ly mile toward the shore at the speed
of an express train, every moment about
to be overwhelmed by a roaring breaker,
whose white crest was reared high above
and Just behind them, but always es-
Gaping this engulfment, and propelled
/ before it. They look, kneeling or ly-
| ing on their long surf rf-boards, more like
some curious and sWift-swimming fish,
like dolphins racing, as it seemed to
me, than like men. Once in a while,
by some mischance the cause of which
I could not understand, the swimmer
was overwhelmed; the great zcombeI
overlook him; he was flung over and
over like a piece of wreck, but instantly
dived, and re-appeared beyond and out
side of the wave, ready to take advan-
tage of the next. a successful shot
launched them quite high and dry on
the beach far beyond where we stood to
watch. Occasionally man would
stand erect upon his surf-board, balan-
cling himself in the boiling water with
out apparent difficulty.
The surf board play is one of the an,
cient sports of Hawaii. I am told that
few of the younger generation are ca
pable of it, and that it is Thought to re,
quirc great nerve and GOODNESS ever
among these admirable swimmers, and
to be not without danger. Harper
Magazine.

Wheat In New England.

Among the papers of our late editor, we
find a find communication from Henry
Poor. Esq, who so often urged upon the
farmers of New England the culture OF
wheat, believing that it would prove one of
the most profitable crops to which they could
turn their attention. His advice, we have
reason TO know, has been followed, partcu-
larly within the last year or two, with the
best results in ou: neighboring State of
Maine. In the communication to which we
refer he gives the following sixteen reasons
why New England farmers should raise their
own wheat:
1. Because their climate is the best adapt-
ed on this continent to growing wheat.
2. Because the deep SHOWS of winter ia
vor its safety and CT ltivatiou.
3. Because it is less liable to winter kill
and rust than in the West.
4. Because the yield is nearly fittv per cent
larger, as all the agricultural statistics
show.
5. Because the rolling lands of New Eng
land render it comparatively safer than fiat
prailie lands.
g., Because it is the cheapest made crop
On the firm.
z. Because IL is the sUest grain crop
s. Because two crops a season, fall and
spring, are advantages over any other grain.
9. Because every farmer that raises his
rye and potatoes, can raise wheat.
10. tecause it gives happiness and com
fort, and harmonizes the family circle reioic-
ing in the wheaton loaf from the home farm.
IL. Because poverty may pinch, and this
is the farmers antidote.
IL. Because four and one-half bushels of
wheat can be made for six dollars equal to a
barrel oi flour, and thirteen to fourteen dol
lars is the price for a barrel OF the best quail
ty.
13. Because the farmer should feel a lofty
pride aud confidence in raising his bread from
his own acres.
IA. Because independence Of all other
States should stimulate this merltorious ex-
ample.
Is. Because to buy four cmpties the pock-
ct; 20 raise it fills il to overfowing.
16 Because, in the providence of God.
man was commanded to still the ground.D
Then let this occupation of raising wheat in
Ne7 England become his special care and iu-
lerest. 1.-The begins in doubt, clear sky and
sunshine viii, diSpel it all, and he will become
the almoncr and friend of his family and
neighbors. -a
Friend Poors second reason has been
abundantly verified this winter. We should
like very much to hear from those among our
readers who have given this crop attention
lately, With the statement as to their success
or otherwise, with such other particulars as
would Se OF value to their brother farmers
