Would this sunshine be completer.
Or these violets smell sweeter,
Or the birds sing more in metre,
If it all were years ago.
When the melted mountain snow
Heard in Emma all the woe
Of the poor, forlorn Demetero
Would stronger life pulse Ger U.s.
Y a panther chariot bore US,
Il we saw snthrowned before as
Ride the leopard-foct0d god.
With fre-c0ne tip the rod
Whirl the thyrsus round, and nod
To drunken Menad chorus?
Were the brown-limbed lovers holder?
Venus younger, Cupid older?
Down the wood nymph's warm white shoulder
Trailed purpler, madden vine
We're the poets more divine?
Brew we no such golden wine2
Here, where summer suns are colder?
Yet for us too, life has flowers,
Time a glass of joyous hours,
Interchange OF sun and showers,
And a wealth of leafy glades,
Meant for loving men and maids
Full of warm, green lights and shades,
Trellis-work of wildwood bowers.
So, while English suns are keeping
Count OF sewing time and reaping,
We've no need to waist our weeping
Though the glad Greeks lounged at ease
Underneath their olive trees,
And the Sophoclean bees
Swarmed on lips of poets sleeping.

Maine Mining and Farming,

The statement that there are fourteen
million dollars invested in mining opera
tons in the state of Maine will surprise not
few who think themselves pretty we'll ac-
quainted with New England, but it is not of
nearly so much consequence as the fact that
farming pays in Maine, and it may be made
to pay much better than it does now. The
potatoes of Maine are usually of the best
quality; they can be raised at rate of from
one to three hundred bushels per acre; they
are exported, and they are sold to the starch
factories. Beets are a profitable crop to
raise to sell to the sugar manufacturers, but
the only interest which will eventually
eclipse the others will be the dairy interest.
The Vermont and Maine farmers have of
late years taken hold of the science of agri-
culture in the only sensible way-that of
subjecting it to the test of actual expert
ment and experience. The climate of Maine
is admirably adapted to certain phases of
farming, the very popularity, that of the
depth and long continuance of the snow,
favoring the growth of the grass. 1t will
not be long before the advantages of the
West will be candidly contrasted with those
of the East; when this is done there will be
more inquiry for farms in New England,
and while there is much of our soil WEIGH
should never again be dedicated to the pillow
bu: left to grow wood, either nut bearing or
for fuel and timber, there is much which
should be, and may be advantageously, cul-
tivated. The woods Of Aroostook, and the
sandy soils of Rhode Island are alike capa-
bic Of supporting in comfort an intelligent
and not too hald working population
