sRRD. TINE AND RARYRST.

Beneath the dark November sky,
With the cold rain falling drearilY,
And the bleak wind moaning and Rhrleklng b!
The seed o er the land is cast;
In the grave-like burrows the grain doth lie
Till the weary months are past.
In curling mist and frosty air,
And weeping skies, it lieth there;
Or buried in the SHOWS; or bare
To every wi ind that blowsl
And nights deep darkness, like despair,
Hangs DER it while it grows.
1t grows in spite of cloud and blast
And sullen rain, descending fast;
And snOw-WTeaths thickly DER it cast,
And thund rOus dark ming skies,
And every tempest, roaring past
Strengthens it as it lies.
Anon, a hndlier season shines
Warmth and light--the springs soft signs,
With many beautious balsam, tWines
The breast Of icy death;
And the grain, in delicate, emerald lines
Springs up, fairy birth.
Then sunny months, in swift career,
Bring up the lusty ripened ear;
And the golden haryest-time draws near
And the reaper whets his sCythe;
Till on the day, the rich sheaves rear
Their shapes on the landscape bhthe.
Reaped in the sunshines mellow blaze
Thus in the dim and won 'drous ways
Of fate, are the deeds of men
Sorrow and trial, defeats, delays,
Like storms, that soften the grain.
Must test the hearts aspiring claim;
But every just and noble aim
Shallpass the ordeal clear of blame;
And, in the appointed hour,
Bring forth its fruit of wealth or fame,
Of knowledge, wisdom, power.
In the winds of soorn, the storms of hate,
In the darkness Of hope, deferred full late
Through days when the world shows desOlate,
Must sleep the good deeds thou hast done.
Patiently labor patiently wait,
Thy work shall see the sun.
That which was sOwn in the wintry air,
Shall blossom and ripen when skies are fair;
Though thine should be many an anxious care
Ere the harvest is gathered in;
Be stout to toll, and steady to bear.
The heart that is true shall win.

RARR,
The Murderer, Commits Suicide by
Taking Poison The Authorities
Determined to Find Out the
Parties who AssiRte him
to his Death.

PHILADELPHIA, June l0.-Edward Parr,
the murderer of his daughter, who sank
down in the prisoners dock yesterday from
the effect of poison, just after the death SEN
tence had been pronounced upon him, died
this morning at ten minutes before six O'Clock,
in the ante-room of the courthouse. Emil
nent physicians from different colleges were
with him all night but failed to restore him
to consciousness. All of PARIS immediate
relatives are now in custody, and rigid in
vestigation will be had with a view of dis
covering the manner in which and by whom
the poison was conveyed to the prisoner.
NEW YORK, June 10.-A Philadelphia
special says that Parr, the murderer, had,
after taking poison, periods of apparent
sensibility, when he. would exclalm, "God
have mercy on mel From six o'clock last
evening until ten, Coroner Gilbert treated
him to the humping process, and for while
the dying man was hit and tossed about the
room in lively manner. When the coroner
applied the stomach-pump, the tube was
forced into the dying mans mouth, ani he
growled out, with an oath, "Would you kill
me?" After that time all efforts to force
stimulants or emetics failed, and the physi-
clans gave him up from two o'clock. The
body was wrapped in a sheet and carried to
prison, where an inquest will be held.
