is known as Farmers Oranges" in
some parts Of this State, especially in
the Eastern Handle. Here is the
latest song sung By one Of these de-
ciples OF the lamented GREELEY:
I dream OF a great republic,
Whose people shall all go west,
Sow plums and ripe tomatoes
In the land they love the best
When Jobs Of all dimensions
Shall bloom on every hill,
And chickens low in the harnyard,
And gooeberries toll at the mill.
Oil sweet were the vanished HOSES,
When wandered along the glen
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes,
And plucked the ripened hen;
When the donkey climbed on treijs,
And the cucumber chirped IL the grass,
And the sweet potato whistled
TO its mate in the mountain pass.

TINE BURIAL OF MOSES.

BY Nebo's lovely mountain,
On this side Jordans wave
In vale in the land Of Moab,
There lies lonely grave; ~
Ana no man dug that sspulChre;
And no man saw it e'er,
tor the angel Of God upturued the sod
And laid the dead man there --.-
That was the grandest funeral --A-2s,
That ever passed earth;
But no man heard the trampling
Or the train go forth.
As nOiseless the daylight
Comes when tho night Ia done,
And the crimson streak on ocean Cheek
Grows into the great sun.
As noiseless as the spring time
Her crown Of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
So without sound Of music,
Or voice of them that wept
In silence down the mountains crown
The great procession swept. N
Perchanco the bald old eagle
On gray Beth-Peor's height
out Of his rocky eyrie,
Looked on the wondrous sight.
Perchance the lion, stalking,
Shll shuns that hall0wed spot srE
For beasts and birds have seen and heard 2

Like beautiful isle, that doth pcacefuliy SMILE
Undisturbed, mid the Wild blllcws' foam,
In the ocean life mid its cares and its strife
Is the dear little heaven Of home.
How serene Is the air. and tho blossoms how fair,
Is this bright little Eden Of mine;
On the joys Of the hearth are the presi Of earth,
And its light seemeth almost divine.
II.
Far more precious than gold, by the niserly told,
Far more precious than pearls from the sea,
Are the dear hearts that beat in tkis bszul retreat
With the love that they cherish FOR me;
All the cares OF the day quickly vanish away,
When the dear arms entwine, and the lovely eyes
shine,
Oh, how swfstly the heart shadows ny.

When the storms Of the winter Ger,
Is the music 50 sweet of she dear little feet,
As they patter along the floor:

The sweet eher0bs bow down AZ my knee
And the angels above view my Eden of love,
And slight with blessing FOR me.

Where the water-springs dance to my sight.

to be added the far greater amounts derived
