HOME AT LAST
BY ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR.

SChild, do not fear,
We shall reach our home tonight
For the sky is clear.
And the waters bright;
And the breezes have scarcely strength
To unfold that little cloud,
That like q shroud
Spreads out Its tieecy length:
Then have no fear,
AS we cleave our silver way
Though the waters clear.
Fear not, my child!
Though the waves are white and high,
And the storm blows wild
Through the gloomy sky;
On the edge of the western lea,
See that line of golden light,
Is the haven bright
Where home is awaiting theej
Where, this peril past,
We shall rest from our stormy voyage
in peace at last,
Be not afraid;
But give me Thy hand. and see
How the waves have made
A cradle for thee.
Night is some, dear, and we shall rest !
To turn from tue angry skies,
And close their eyes,
And lay thy head on my breast
Child do not weep;
In the calm, cold purple depths
Then we shall sleep.

MORE COLD WEATHER PRE-
DICTIONS

The crop of chinquapins, chestnuts,
wild grapes, persimmons, &C., was
never known to be more abundant in
this section Of the country than it Is
this TALL; and according to the obser-
vations of our foretathers, indicates a
severe winter. Another sign, it is
said, by which you may foretell the
condition of the weather during the
approaching winter, and which we
have often heard the rustic sage re-
mark would hold true, is the hornets
nest; if they haug high in the trees it
follows that the winter will be unusu-
ally severe; but if they are built in the
bushes near the ground, the winter
will be mild and open. This year we
learn the hornets have built their nests
in the tops OF tho trees. So We may
look out for some cold Nol'westers
and old time sleighinq SHOWS.

How the British Workman Lives.

Correspondence Boston Bulletin.
There are many articles of diet which
the American workman enjoys that are
beyond the power of purchase of the
English workman. Lobsters there cost
one shilling apiece to the merchant who
purchases them from the fshermen.-
Oysters are an unatLainable luxury. All
kinds of fish, excepting behring's, are
high in price. Mutton is seldom below
sixpence per pound, and the cheapest
parts of beef cost about 20 cents per
pound. Moreover, the Englishman has
no sweet corn, no squash, no tomatoes,
no sweet potatoes, no watermelons, and
peddlers do not bring peaches, berries,
apples, and other fruits to his door and
sell them to him for mere trifle, as is
done here every day the year round al
most. L. is no wonder that the great
tide of emigration is running hithel; the
only wonder ID tina. any poor man re-
mains IN England at all. If people
could cross the Atlantic on foot, as some
of the pioneers crossed overland to Cal
iforDia in ~, the British Islands would
soon be drained of their industrial pop
ulation.
Thus far / have spoken Of The English
workman He lives better than his
neighbor across the border. III scarcely
any department Of industry are the wa
ges in Scotland equal to those paid in
England. l do not know the reason of
this. 1t is probably because Scotland is
poorer country. In the large cities OF
Scotland the workmsn perhaps live as
well as those of England; but in the
country districts the people fare very
frugally. The principal diet is oatmeal.
This is served in the form of porridge for
breakfast, and is eaten with milk or mo-
lasses. The diuner consists of small
pice of fat pork boiled, or, in the absence
of this, of herring, which is eaten with
bread made from a mixture of ground
barley and peas. Sometimes the bread
is composed wholly of barley, but, as q
rule, 1t is mixture of barley and peas
In addition, they use bread composed
of oatmeal, "oatcake," which is whole
some and pslatable. The Sunday din
ner is composed of sma piece of meal
boiled In several quarts of water, and
this water, thickened with little cab.

Pile have the audaclty to describe as soup

was notified that unless he produced the .prin-
