'My kiss; and If he be not dead,
He'll turn TO me n speak"
She kissed the dead. Her warm, red lips
Were pressed against his lips of ice.
"He answered not, she weeping said,
al Know my darling must be dead,
For / have kissed him thrice"

In THE MORNING sow THY SEED

Sow, though the rock repel thee
In its cold and sterile pride;
Some cleft then may be riven
Where the little seed may hide
Fear not, for some will flourish;
Ind though the tares abound
Like the willows by the waters,
vii the scattered grains be found
Work while the daylight lasteth,
Ere the shades of night come on,
Ere the Lord of the vineyard cometn,
And the laborer's work IS DONE

The lovers of mirth and fun,-and who

Copies have been received here, of a
useful little work written by an old
resident of this island, the indefatigable
Doctor Knudsen, SO well known to every
body here for his sterling qualities as
the doctor who is never wearied, and
; always ready at the call of his pa
TENTS. During his late tour to the old
country, for crest and recreation he, with
characteristic ardor, has been going back
wards and forwards between Europe and
America as a physician on board emigrant
vessels. 1t is in this capacity he has
found abundant opportunity to learn and
collect the matter for the little book re-
terred to, which is written for that nu-
mefouS class of people who yearly leave
their native home in Europe to find a
more congenial one on this side of the
Atlantic, more especially in the United
States In one word, the book is written
for the Emigrant who goes to America
to find that which either he could not, or
tancled he could not find in Europe.
1t IS written in Danish and conse-
quently principally for Scandinavian
Emlgrants, but it contains many hints
which may he of interest also to those
who do not intenl to make "the States"

From a Table of the Rainfall registered
at Wingfeld Manor, St. Kits, we observe
that the average annual fall of rain at that
place for the last % years has been some
what more than 70 inches. The greatest
fall was in 1865, 95 inches and the lowest
in 1868, SO inches. The most rainy
months are August and October, and the
least March and April, iii each of which
last two months the fall is less, at an
average, than one half of that in August
or October. The Table extends to 1878,
which year was below average.
