Surely the word Of God is true,
Mans days are full of care;
Childhood aud youth, and hoary age,
Must each its burden bear.
We smile at chillhood's sore distress,
Der broken dolls and toys.
Nor think the while If our dismay,
Be-eft of earthly joys.
We chide the youth that shrinks at toll
OF books, or work, or care.
Nor dream, peichance, the task is one
He scarce has strength TO bear.
We in our turn, Of ripper years,
Complain, as well we may;
Our stei 9Th is weakness while we bear
The burdens of our day.
The sun may shine along our path.
The birds may sing for aye,
The birds may blossom at our feet,
To gladden. all our way.
Still short our life at full fourscore;
Our days how full of pain;
Like wcaver's shuttle quick they fly,
But ne'er return again.
These furrowed brows, and bending forms,
These locks of sill er grey.
Tell us, too, our strength declines,
And We must "fy away"
We turn the page Of Holy Writ,
And learn redemption plan,
&c Eow God The mighty maker died -
To save rebellious man.
"Dying we die" but live again,
Beyond this fitting breath;
No care, nor tears, nor grief, nor pain,
Nor any fear Of death.
Dear gentle saint, on verge of time,
Your lamp Of life burns low,
Bowed with the weight of fourscore years,
Your life ON earth below
Is well nigh done; v ell done,' well done,
We hear the Savior say,
While waiting for the summons home,
To realms Of endless day.
Gladly may you the summons hear,

Your mansion is prepared above,
Come to your heavenly hou'e."

HOW TO DANISH FLEAS.

The Maryland Farmer gives the
following useful recipe for extermina
ting feas: "The oil Of pennyroyal
will certainly drive these pests off;
but cheaper method, where the
herb fourishes, is to throw your cats
and dogs into decoction of it once
week. Nov the herb, and scatter
it in the beds of the pigs once a
month. Where the herb cannot be
got, the OIL may be produced. In
this case, saturate strings with it,
and tie them round the necks of dogs
and cats;pour little ON the back and
about the ears of hogs, which you can
do while feeding without touching
them. BY repeating these applica-
tions over II or Is days, the feas
will flee from your quadrupeds, to
their relief and improvement, and
your relief and comfort in the house.
Strings saturated with the oil of
pennyroyal and tied round the neck
md tail Of horses will drive off lice;
the strings should be saturated once

their cities and burned them. This
is simply conjecture. Ifthese were
the facts, as Montezuma kicked up
his troubles about three hundred and
sixty years ago, we would probably
have had somo account of it. And
then again, there are, we believe, no
such pottery and household imple-
ments in Mexico as have been found
in the Arizona ruins.
The theory that the wanderers
through Asia, about 1000 or 1900
years ago. crossed Behring's strait
and made their way down Inc Pacific
coast Of this continent into the
Temperate and Torrid zones. may,
and probably does, come nearer to
offering an explanation. But what
has become Of this race and it's
history? Were both blotted out at
once, and if SO, by whom? Now that
the bloody Apaches are being subju-
gated and exterminated, fine oppor-
tunity is offered for academies Of natu-
raj science and men with money to
expend for the enlightenment of man
kind,t to encourage and aid in explor~
ing these ancient buried cities, and to
bring to light what has long been
developed in mysery. Who will be the
first to move in this matter?

known pilot OF over twenty years standing, for
stranding the Belgian steamer Auguste Andre on
the Romer Shoals in the Lower BAY, about ten
days ago. The first person heard was Captain
Greve, who, in excellent English, gave his version
OF the af1air. The pilot admitted his error, and
had mistaken the lights OF two vessels az anchor
for ine range lights on staten Island while pro.
ceeding up the Swash Channel. The Comin,s.
sloners promptly decided that Gamer acted
wrongly IN bringing the steamer Auguste Andre
