They're coming softly 10 my side;
Their forms within my arms hide
No other arms are sure I;
The storm may rage with fury wild,
With trusting faith each little child
With mother feels secure.
But future days are drawing near
They'll 20 from this warm shelter here,
Out in the worlds wild din
The rain will fall. tho cold winds blow,

Where hearts are waiting strong aud sur,
Aud love is true when tried
Or will they find broken reed,
When strength Of heart they so much need
To help them brave the tide!
God knows IL all His will is best,
Ill shield them now, and yield the rest
In his most righteous hand
Sometimes souls be loves are rivcn
by tempest wilds. and thus are driven
Nearer the better land.

Till lie, the keeper Of the Gate,

In Suuthey's History Qf Brd=ii, ho
tells how Cabeza do Naca was in 4
great ship going to South America
with four hundred men and thirty
horses, and after they had crossed
the equator, the commander discov-
cred that there We're only three casks
Of water left lIo gayo orders to
TO make for tho nearest land, and
for throo days they sailed for the
coast. A poor sick soldier, who had
left Cadiz with them, brought Il
grillo, or ground cricket, with him,
thinking its cheerful voice would
amuse him on the long, dreary voy.
age. But to his great disappoint-
ment, the little insect was perfectly
silent the whole way.
The fourth morning after they had
changed the ships course, the crick
ct, who knew what she was about,
set up her thrillest note. The sol
dicr ut once gave warnining to the
officer in charge Of the vessel, and
they soon saw high, Jagged rocks
just ahead of them. The watch had
been careless, aud the great ship in
few moments would have been
dashed to pieces on the ledgos il this
puny creature had not scented the
land and told them Of their danger.
Then they cruised along for some
days, and the cricket sang for them
every night, just as cheerily as if she
had been in far'oif Spain, till they
got to their destined port, the Island
of Catalina.

Profitable Poultry Keeping.

Every once in a while we read oI

1t would be very interesting If we could
only hear about these great failuro', Z,
as well as OF the great successes, bu,
this it seems is not the way OF the
world, so wo have to rest contented
with recording the good prospects
Of those who invest largely, aud here
is tho latest from the fdrmer's
Journdi:
ut is at Greene, Chcnango county,
n Y, and is kept by Mr.. A. B. Rob
eson. Ho has 5000 ducks, 1000
turkeys, and 200 hens. They con.
sumo daily sixty bushels of corn, two
barrels of meal, two barrels of pota
toes, and quantity of charcoal.
The meal, potatoes, and charcoal are
boiled together, and form pudding
which is fed warm. He has COM
menced to kill them of, and employs
fifteen hands to pick, two to kill, aud
one to carry away and pack on racks
until frozen, then they are ready to
pack for shipping. Healso employs
two men to cook the feed and feed
them. He has twelve buildings for
his fowls, from one hundred to two
hundred feet long, fourteen feet wide,
and seven feet under the caves, with
door ut each end Of them. Mr.
Robenon bought most of his ducks
in the West, and had them shipped
in crates-three dozen in u crate.
tlo also has an an cgg-house, 80 by
so feet, and four stories high. The
outside is eighteen inches thick, aud
built of cut stone, laid in mortar,
boarded up on the inside, and lille /
in between the outside and inside
wall with saw'lust, it taking 5000
bushels. Mr.. Robesou claims that
he can keep eggs any length Of time
in this building. lie also keeps the
poultry that he is now dressing until
uext May or June, which he sells at
eighteen or twenty-five cents per
pound, and it cannot be told from
fresh dressed poultry. lie gets ten
cents per pound for turkey feathers,
twelve for hens, and sixty.iive for
ducks. lie says there is money in
poultry, and he thinks he can make
out of his 6,000 ducks enough to pay
for his egg'house, which cost $1,000,
He intends to keep great many
moro next season, and has agents out
