And star on star, all soft and calm,

And softly--as feel the light

AS in some temple holy shades,
Tho mute the hymn and hushed the prayer,
A solemn awe the soul pcrvadcs,
Which tells that worship has been there;

Where many censor swung around,
Which thrills the wonderer like to one

Though saddened by thousand sighs,

Yet soft and dewy as the eve,
Too sad for eyes where smiles are born,
Too young for eyes to learn to grieve.

For all my spirit hears and secs,

For every hour we breathe apart.

Already filled so full Of thee.

And many n sin must be forgiven
Ere these pale lids shall sink TO sleep,
And you and | shall meet in Heaven.

WHAT YOUR LAND NEEDS.

It is not guano, cotton seed nor compost
that your worn-out poor lands need,- though
either of these properly used will make good
crops, even upon very poor land, but what
your lands need is vegetable matter. You
know that, or should know it, for you know
that when you first cut down the forests the
land was covered and rich with the vegeta'
ton that had been decaying there for ages,
and you must have noticed, if you have any
observation at all, that as this vegetation dis.
appeared the soil grew poorer, until you had
to turn the field out as too poor for cultiva-
ton. But now lands are not so plentiful and
cheap as they used to be, and you have been
obliged to take it in again. In doing so the
first crop shows you that it recxperated some
what, for it made better crop than when
you turned it out. Does not that fact give
you the idea of what it needs2 While it lay
out the weeds and grass grew, died, and dis
solved upon the soil. If it should lie out
long enough it would get to be as fertile as
ever. But you cannot afford that-you need
the land, and must find some way to restore
fertility sooner. Very we'll. Now 60 to
work to reproduce that vegetable matter, and
your design will be accomplished in the most
sensible and practicable manner. If it is too
much to haul in muck, leaves and grass from
the great abundance Of those about your
grounds, branches, creeks, rivers and un-
cleared lands. 60 at it in another way. Plant
on your level lands, coating them moderately
with the best manures you can get, and BET
the hill-sdes in grasses that will prevent
washing bermuda will do IT'D from which
make hay-but don't pasture-to be stripped
clean, for remember that your object is to re-
produce vegetable matter in the soil. Try
different grasses until you get one that suits
the purpose. Sow down and grow everything
that will rot upon and stimulate the soil. 1t
will grow richer every year. When the hill
sides are safe bring on the level lands, tor
now you can change and plant upon the hill
sides, which you could not do while they were
nude and poor. The grasses can be used to
great advantage in restoring worn.out lands,
but not much if pastured. Field peas are
still more advantageous if the vines are per
mitted to rot upon the surface and we are in
clined to think that one crop of pea vines, tol.
lowed by one of corn fodder. plowed in, will
make the land produce one crop about as well
as it did when new. Indian clover, or beg
gar lice, has the reputation Of restoring fer
tility in single year, equivalent to fifteen
bushels of cotton seed per acre. This weed,
or clover is greedily devoured by stock, and
has to be planted but once if the land re-
mains under cultivation. 1t is, perhaps, the
cheapest of all the fertilizing agents with
which we are acquainted, and where used as
renovator, unlike the grasses, may be grazed
without destroying its fertilizing agency

How TO PREVENT RHEUMATIsM.-Put
away the sheets and counterpart, and sleep IN
blankets, under and over, and no cbunterpane
at all. The sheets and counterpane do a
great deal of mischief. The cotton keep
the sour heat and perspiration from the
body in the bed, and so you breathe poisoned
air all night, Summer and Winter, and that
poisoned air makes your rheumatism ten
times worse. If you were in blankets they
would not absorb the perspiration; it would
pass through from one to the other; but in
cotton, if it absorbs it had better say
soaks into it-there it remains, cold, or hot,
or clammy.-Mrs. Warren.

CLovER.-Clover is called "the sheet an.
chor of American husbandry." 1t will do
more to bring impoverished lands to high
state of cultivation, and at less expense, than
any other agency. And just in proportion
as the farmer cultivates this plant will he be
relieved from the necessity of purchasing
commercial fertilizers to enrich his land.
While there is no system Of cultivation which
will enable the farmer to keep up the fertility
of his land without resorting to such agencies,
yet the use of clover will 60 very far toward
accomplishing it. Clover will cancel notes,
pay mortgages, and bring abundance where
there is want.

A SHEEP FARM IN GEORGIA.

A writer in the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution
says, in 1871 he bought 400 acres OF reputed
poor land in Glynn county, Ga, and put up
on it 100 sheep. In 1878, by natural in
crease, he had 376 ewes, and had sent to
market 7S wethers. His sheep were penned
nightly, and every two nights manured halt
acre we'll. Since that time he had brought
into a high state of cultivation 100 acres OF
land that seven years ago was considered
worthless Since 1871 he has bought 200
sheep, and now owns 1900 head. He keeps
a shepherd, who is paid to attend to his busl.
ness, and keeps an accurate book account OF
every dollar and dime spent on account OF
the sheep, and finds, by casting up balance
sheet, that it costs him exactly 57 cents
head per annum to keep his flock. They
average him about three and half pounds
of wool each. Last year he clipped in May,
and again in September, and the clip amount
ed to Eve and half pounds per head. Last
year he sold in Savannah and Macon 5000
pounds of wool, at an average OF thirty cents
per pounds, including few lbs., OF Merlno
wool, which make the gross receipts OF
$3.50. The annual expense of the flock
was $1,026. So there was an absolute net
profit in the wool of S1,664. Last year he
sold in the above cities 90 wethers as mutton
for $342, making total of s2,2S9. Besides
this, he has fertilized the poor wire grass land,
so that last year he cultivated "a acres, and
from Al acres in corn he made an average OF
81 bushels; 1Oacres in sugar cane, that made

THE BOATMAN'S LESSON.


The little boat went gliding on,
And then the winds arose;
The twilight faded on the hills,
The day began to close.
The boatman spoke, as much feared
Amid the flashing foam,
"Oh master, give it up to me,
And will row you home"
So sat still in helplessness,
Though numbed in every limb,
Now up, now down among the waves,
And gave it up to him.
And skilfully he turned the prov,
And piled the bending oar,
Until, Just as the moon arose,
He brought me safe to shore.
And evermore that boatman's words,
Amid the winds severe,
AS up and down the world I walk,
Are ringing in my ear;
In sun, in rain, in dark, in light,
Where or my footsteps roam,
"Oh master, give it up to me,
And l will row you home"
IT'S thus with Him who came to save
The ruined sons of men;
We are to trust His power, as I
Believed the boatman then.
And though the winds smite the waves,
And angry surges foam,
The loving Christ of Nazareth
Will guide His people home.

Too OLD FOR THEM.-The other day a
man with satchel called into a ferry-dock
saloon wherein fifteen or twenty old salts were
lying about their adventures on the high seas,
and after warming his hands at the stove, he
said to the barkeeper:
"Sir, am the agent Of q French inehouse,
and I should like to sell you few barrels of a
brand now over one hundred years old"
The saloonist thought he wouldn't invest,
and the man took a pint bottle from his satch-
ell, held it up to the light, and looking around
on the crowd, remarked:
"Gentlemen, this is a sample of wine over
one hundred years old. have no doubt that
you will all do me the honor to taste il"
A perfect shower of tobacco-quids and half
consumed cigars fell on the big stove-hearth,
and the crowd had its mouth all ready, when
the agent scrutinized the bottle and said
"Ah am mistaken. left the wine at
the hotel, and brought along my hair in
vigorator in place of it? Gentlemen, please
remain seated while I 60 and fetch the old
wine"
At the end of long hour he had not re-
turned, and one of the victims slowly arose
and said:
"Gentlemen, you hear me i'll meet that
man on the street, will kill him and drink
his hair invigorator to the last DROP"
"So'll l w shouted all the others; and they
opened their tobacco-boxes and went on with

FARMERS AND RHEUMAT1sM.-In answer
to the question, "Why are farmers 50 liable
to rheumatism ?" the Science Of Health says
eff farmers would avoid suddenly cooling the
body after great exertion, if they would be
careful not to 60 with wet clothing and wet
feet, and if they would not over-eat when in
an exhausted condition, and bathe daily,
using much friction, they would have little or
no rheumatism"
