A LITTLE WHILE.


'Tis but little while
/ toll below;
The foam is en- the sea,
Winds 6ercely blow.
One star of silver sheen
Bedecks the sky;
II glimmers Ger the waste,
Afar and nigh.
1t is the symbol Of
Repose and peace;
II points me to the time,
When storm-winds cease.
hail it In the dawn,
And dewy eve,
Sweet harbinger of hope,
The souls reprieve.
For though that star may fade,
1t is the sign
OF brighter joys in store,
A golden shrine,
Where hearts may breathe once more
Sweet incense there,
Or bathe in ocean depths,
Or lisp in prayer.
Oh sweet and happy thought
OH bliss complete
Mid smiles and tears to bow
At Jesus feet;
Then soar on viewless wing
"'Mid worlds unknown
And gaze enwrapped upon
The great white throne.
And drink the limpid stream
That flows beside
The New Jerusalem,
The Lambs pure Bride;
And walk the golden streets,
And ever sing
Hosannas to the Lord,
Our Priest and King.
Glide on ye languid hours,
Take swifter wing,
/ count the moments o'er,
A weary thing,
To this poor, helpless soul,
That longs to see
The marvels of Gods grace
Revealed in me;
As they will soon appear,
Inc OLner sue
Of life's deep mysteries,
And turbid tide,
When every deed is done,
And sorrow past,
stand within my lot,
Complete at last.
A while to linger here,
To fast and pray;
A little while to SOW,
Beside the way;
While tears my spirit feed,
And darkness lowers,
With here and there a ray
To kiss the flowers.
A little while, and then,
The palm in hand,
The river in its flow,
And golden strand,
The smile Of God within,
The sweet repose,
The heart from sin set free,
As free from woes.
Oh sweet and happy day
/ wish thee near.
''No wrinkle on thy brow"
No briny tear.
All haill thrice all hail.
l sigh for rest;
long to lay me down
Upon His breast,
Who died that we might live
Forever more,
And sweep a golden harp,
On Beulah's shore.
He still in pity waits,
Locks wet with dew,
Each spot of sin to cleanse,
Each soul renew.
do not dare repine
At His decree;
Who has ordained that
Should roam q sea,
So swept by angry storms,
And tossed at will
For / can see the bow
Bent DER it still.
! do not ask to go
Before the time;
only ask that
May hear the chime
OF bells within the heart
Sweet hope and love,
Which ever music wake,
Like that above.
only ask for faith
To keep me pure
To nerve me for the ills
That endure
The star of hope to see
That glimmers on;
Till above it soar,
All duty done.

The secret of keeping beef, hams, or other
lean meat in pickle, is to use just as little salt
as possible, but enough to prevent decomposi-
ton Sugar is more expensive than salt, but
many people use it very freely for making
meat pickle, and usually with good results.
Pepper and other spices will keep meats from
tainting, but too much would spoil it for table
use. Beef will keep for an unlimited length
of time if picked in strong brine made of
clear salt and water, but such beef in short
time becomes so hard and dry as to be unpal-
atable TO most people. The salt removes all
the rich juices of the beef, and leaves it hard,
woody. and tasteless.
For keeping beef perfectly sweet for using
fresh the following method is recommended
by New York State farmer:
''Cut the beef in pieces to suit your oonven-
fence, expose it where it will freeze very solid,
wrap each piece in a separate piece of paper,
securing it with Irvine, and bury in bin of
wheat If you have no wheat, peas, barley,
or any other heavy grain will answer good
purpose. I have kept beef fresh and sweet in
this way from the first of January TO the first
of April have had some beef kept in this
way which was better and more tender on the
first of April than on the week it was killed. "
For preserving beef in pickle, the following
method has been adopted by many house
keepers with the best success =
To 100 pounds of beef cut in pieces suitable
for boiling, add four quarts salt, four pounds
brown sugar, and four ounces saltpetre
Sprinkle the mixture over each piece as it Is
packed, and pound down solid and weight
heavily with stones. No water need be add
ed, as there will be enough brine formed from
the beef and the other materials. The brine
must constantly cover the beef as the ali
would soon spoil it.
The following recipe for picking beef il
brine, we find in communication to til,
Rural Home -
After Strengthening your beef let it hang, i
convenient in some cool place, twenty-fou
hours it should not freeze before being pack
ed. Then with your saw and knife cut TO sui
your convenience. leaving your axe in III

pounds of fine salt, ounces of saltpetre,
pounds of sugar ounces of black pepper

meat. Let it stand until lukewarm. Thel
pour it on the meat be sure to keep the mea
from rising up in the barrel.

face of the sea far more than its solid bed,
and therefore the water rises in heap un-
der the satellite The sun, on the other hand,
being so distant exercises nearly rs much
force on the ocean bed beneath as on the sur
face, and. therefore, lifts up the water but
very little. The identically same effect is pro
duced upon that part of the earth most dis
tant from the sun or moon, only in this case
the ocean bed is drawn toward those bodies
more rapidly than the water which is, in
fact. left behind. When the sun and moon
are either in conjunction or opposition-that
is. when the line joining them passes in the
neighborhood Of, or directly through the
earth-then their attractive forces being uni
ted. the tidal wave will be at n maximum,
forming spring tides" If they be in quad
rature'-that is. if the lines drawn from their
centres to the earths centre form a right an
ple-then the tides will be at a minimum, or
''neap tide" will result. 1t will he evident,
then, that if the earth were a world of waters,
each tidal wave would pass completely round
he .arth in ~ hours The existence of con-
tine uts materially modifes its transit, and it
is driven from its course, and consequently.
retarded. The great tidal wave takes its rise
in the dren Antarctic Ocean. As it traverses
the OCEAN the water is not raised above few
feet but when it enters a shallow sea, or an
estuary, where the tide finds itself in sort of
funnel then the rise is sometimes as much as
10 feet, rs is the case in the Bay OF Fundy
The wave is not a wave of transmission, but
one of motion. and if the particles of water
were destitute of all cohesion or friction
among themselves they would only rise and
fall into the same place after the attraction
had passed A wave of this nature is Illus
trated by throwing a stone into pond; the
wavelets expand from the point Of disturb
ance. but do not carry to the shore anything
which floats on the surface of the water, such
bodies only rising as it were to allow the wave
to pass beneath them: this proves that the
water had only an upward and downward
| movement as it formed the wave.

The Origin of the Tides.

All bodies attract each other the power of
the force exerted depending upon the weight
of the bodies and their distance from each
other. The weight of any body is, in fact
the force with which the earth attracts that
body TO itself The celestial bodies are all
chained together by this force of attraction
The sun and the moon both exert an attract
i've influence on the earth, inducing our plan
ct to approach to Them this attraction being
oounterbalanced by the centrifugal force, We
describe a curve which is the resultant Of these
two forces But the surface of the earth con-
sists of fluid and solid the former, owing to
its mobility, exhibits a greater tendency to
obey the attractive influence, and therefore
rises 10 meet the sun or the moon. The sun,
ON account of his enormous bulk, exercises O
much greater attractive force on the earth
than the moon, but the solar tide is much les
than the lunar tide, for this reasOn-that the
moon being near the earth attracts the sur
