Beyond these chilling winda and gloomy skie'
Beyond deaths cloudy portal.
There IL laud whore beauty nsver dies,
Where love becomes immortal
A land whose life is never dimmod by shade
Where fields are ever vernal;
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there
Through those enchanted bowers.
The cty's shining towers we may not see
With our dim earthly vision;
For death, the silent warder, keeps tho kcy
That opes the gates slysi.n.
But sometimes when adown the western sky
The fiery sunset fingers.
Tho golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
And while they stand moment half ajar,
CLEANS from the inner glory
Stream brightly through tue azure vault afsr
And half reveal the story.
o land unknown! U land Of love divine!
Father. all-wise eternal!
o, guido these wandering, wsy.worn feet Of
mine
Into these pastures vsrnal!

A CLOSE FIT. The following i

A CLOSE FIT. The following in
stance Of youthful exactness comes
to us from friend in bingham,
Mass, where it recently occurred:
An exhibition was given here
some two months since by Tom
Thumb, at which the prices were
twenty-five cents for those over ten
years of age and twelve and halt
cents for those under.
1t was Johnny's tenth birthday,
and his cousin May, aged thirteen,
thought it to be her duty to cele.
brate it by taking him in the after
noon to see the dwarf. Arriving at
the door, she put down thirty eight
cents, and asked for two tickets.
"How old is the boy Z" asked the
ticket-seller.
"Well," replied Miss May, "this
is his tenth birthday; but lie soas
not born until late in the afternoon"
The vender of tickets accepted
the accuracy of the averment, and
handed her the proper certificates
for admission. But it was q close
fit.-EDlToR's DRAWER, in Ha,pers
Magazine for RsbrSavy.

\ NEEDED WARMING. Rather
Pomfret, Vt

A NEEDED WARNING. Rather
an interesting admonition is tackled
to a recent FIVE dollar subscription
to the fund for the Kansas and Ne.
braska grasshopper sufferers. Says
the subscriber "Let the people Of
those Western States take care of
their birds! For years past they
have waged such systematic war;
fare against them that the markets
of even the Eastern cities have been
glutted with grouse, prarie-hens,
wild turkeys, etc., which, if unmo'
Tested, would have kept the insects
in check. We cannot derange ma.
ture's balance Of power and not ex.
pect to suffer somewhere. A law to
prevent the killing Of any bird In
Kansas or Nebraska for five years
would be a better remedy than snb.
scribing money every winter for
these sufferers"

HERE ia a fact communicated
by a trustworthy correspondent of
Moore's Rural, which will be of value
to floriculturists. 1t relates to the
use of alcohol for scale insects and
mealy bugs, which pests are iron
clad to such applications as tobacco
smoke, which kills the green fly
(Aphis, and the free use of water
over head, and moist atmosphere,
before which the red spider (arca-
rus) speedily succumbs. But touch
scale or meaIy with brush dipped
in alcohol aud he is metaphorically
doubled up and doue for without a
show Of resistance. 1t is thought
that "Jersey lightning" also known
as "apple jack" would answer the
purpose equally as well. Readers
who do not care to encourage the
manufacture of these articles even
to this extent. can accomplish the
same result by dipping the infested
plants in soap suds, heated to about
120 deg. to 13O deg.-which INNER
sion, incredible as it may appear,
has not, in the writer's experience,
injured the most delicate fuchsia,
geranium, or similar plant.

MISSED THEIR GAME. How
some railroad gamblers came to
grief is told by a Virginia City
(Nev.) paper. These men, it says,
are usually excellent judges of char,
acter and are seldom mistaken in
their man. Sometimes, however,
their judgment is at fault, and the
apparent fly they entice into their
parlors proves to be a tarantula.
The other day at Battle Mountain
they allured German from the
East, who exhibited large roll of
greenbacks:on the platform, into the
SPIDERS nest. The man was on a
