SILENT aSRIEFS.

VhhEESs
There are signs unheaved, there arc tears I'M
wept:
There are lutes Gnstrung, there are harps I'M
swept;
There are griefs unknown, there are thoughts I'M
told;
There are hearts that beat warm when they seem
but cold
There are loves unlost when they seem so dead
There are wounds unseen that have often bled,
For the soul feels most when in silence deep
1t lives unheard as the winds in their sleep.
There are sorrows very dark that o'ercloud our
And that shade the heart in our life's glad day;
There are joys unfelt, there are hopes unfed:
There are pledges hushed, there are vows unsaid ;
There are flowers dead among the spring leaves,
There are treasurer lost among the golden
sheaves;
There are memories sweet and we love them well,
But the eye grows dim as their currents well.
There are friendships gone like the dews of morn:
There are smiles now turned to the coolest scorn
There are dreams we loved in the days gone by,
When the sun was warm and so bright our sky,
That are past like spray on the oceans breast,
When the storm has ceased and her waters rest;
And the heart grows sad that its loves have fled,
That its hopes are gone and its garlands dead.
There are scenes we knew that are faded now;
There are gathered wreaths and shaded brow,
There are songs unsung that we loved to hear
When the heart was fresh and its pleasures near
There are footsteps hid in the sands of time;
There are voices stilled in this earthly cline,
But the echoes come from the boundless shore
That lies beyond in the vast evermore.
There are prayers we breathe for the ones we
Whilst we linger here from our home above,
Yet we smile to think that our griefs will cease
And our hearts rejoice in an endless peace.
Far away, above the ethereal blue,
Where each soul is glad and each heart is true,
We will live in love, and her radiant beam
VIII inspire the soul with heavenly dream.

The Canning Industry.

In this country there is no single industry
which has shown surprising growth as that
of canning, nor is there one which gives en-
ployment to so large q number of persons for
the period when it is in active operation.
Commencing with fruit it has extended itself
to vegetables. meats, fish, and in fact to al
most every article which is used by the hu-
man race for food The amount of capital
invested in it is enormous, from the fact that
the process of itself is simple and nearly
every section of the country, and we might
almost say every farmer or gardener has some
thing that can be profitably utilized by it,
The salmon of the Columbia and Oregon
rivers are placed on our tables in condition
| almost equal in point of quality to that no.
BILE fish when just taken from the water
Fruits indigenous to particular sections ofthe
country and which will not bear transporta-
ton long distances, are supplied, not only to
| our own people, but those of other lands
The great fruit growing region of Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia fairly teen with can
ming factories and establishments for the pre-
serving of fruits and vegetables by the eva
porating process. Millions upon millions of
of cans of the articles we have specified are
annually put up, the process affording en-
ployment to many thousand persons who
would otherwise during the summer and fall
months be compulsorily idle. But this is not
the only advantage arising from the vast in.
crease Of the industry. Immense quantities
of fruits, etc, that would otherwise go to
waste are thus brought into profitable use.
They not only enrich the owners. but supply
to the entire country these daintily preserved
articles at moderate prices, thus bringing them
within the reach of persons of moderate
means. Our export trade in canned goods
is very large, and, like the home business, is
| rapidly increasing, all of which helps TO build
up the country and keep the balence of trade
in our favor.

Earliness, and Success in Farming.

The agricultural Gazette Uondon) says that
he who intends to succeed in agriculture must
be an early man, early in rising, early
in getting IN the crops, early in reaping
them, early in meeting his men, early at
fairs, early at markets, early at home and
in bed. 1.-THE youth that can not rise until
called who will not get up when he is
called who comes down to breakfast in en-
brodered slippers, and can not move out of
doors until he has had his pipe, may be n
good fellow, q gentleman and many other
good things, but he is not going to succeed
as farmer, or in any other rural occupation
He has mistaken his calling, and is himself
mistake" There is much in that good
old Saxon word "early," continues the Gazette
at is the early sun that ripens the corn the
early bird that catches the worm the early
cabbage that catches the price; the early lamb
that makes the money; the early chicken
that pays the hen-wife the early gooseberry
that commands the market the early swarm
that makes the honey the early sown wheat
that fills the bushel the carly sown barley
that pleases the maltster the early sack of
wheat that attracts the miller; tue early peas
that pay the rent the early potatoes that
fetch the money the early shepherd that
fattens the sheep; the early caterer that
pleases the master; the early farmer who
grows rich /; the early housewife that keeps
her maids and the early maid that keeps her
place. Earliness is the true road to success,
and the fact that so few can succeed in the
race of life is because SO few can shake off
dull sloth and rise early. There are some
vacations in life in which early rising is not
necessary, but they are chiefly those to which
that otherwise saying applies, that you can
not burn the candle at both ends"

Nnn't he Afraid of Work.

Don't be afraid of killing yourself with
overwork, my son. Men seldom work so
hard as that on the sunny side ofthirty.-
They die sometimes; but it is because they
quit work at p NJ. and don't get home
until 9 A. NJ It's the intervals that kill,
my son. The work gives you an appetite
for your meals; it lends solidity to your slum-
Der it gives you perfect and grateful ap-
probation of the holiday. There are young
men who do not work, my son-young men
who make n living by sucking an end of a
cane, and who can tie necktie in eleven
different knots and never lay wrinkle in it /;
who can spend more money in day than
you can in month, son and who will go to
the Sheriff's to buy postal card and apply
to the Street Commissioners for marriage
license. SO, find out what you want to do,
my son, and take off your coat-make sue
cess in the world The buster you are the
less evil you are apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and happier
your holiday, and the better satisfied the
world will be with you.-Bmdette

A BackWOOds Adventure.

4 Virginia banker, who was chairman of a
noted infidel club, was once travelling
through Kentucky, having with him bank
bills to the amount of twenty-five thousand
dollars. When he came to a lonely forest
where murderers and robbers were said to be
frequent, he was soon lost, through taking
The wrong road. The darkness of the night
came quickly over him, and how to escape
from the threatening danger he knew not
In his alarm he suddenly esped in the dis
lance dim light, and urging his horse on
ward he came at length to a wretched cabin,
He Knocked and the door was opened by a
woman, who said that her husband was out
hunting, but would soon return. The gen.
tleman put up his horse and entered the hut,
but his feelings that can be imagined better
than described. Here he was with large
sum OF money and perhaps in the house of
one of the very robbers whose names
were terror to the country
In a short time the man of the house re-
turned. He had on deer skin shirt, bear
skin hat, seemed fatigued, and was in no
talking mood. All this BODIED the infidel no
good. he felt his pistols in his pockets, and
placed them so rs to be ready for instant use.
The man asked the stranger to retire to bed
but he declined, saying he would sit up by the
fire all night. The man urged but the more
he urged the more the infidel became alarmed
He felt assured that this was his last night
on earth, but he determined to sell his life as
dearly as he could. His infdel principles
gave him no comfort. What was to be done I?
AT length the backwoodsman arose, and
reaching to the wooden shelf, he took down
an old book and said
"Well, stranger, if you won't go to bed, |
will but it is my habit to read chapter in
the Bible before l 60"
What a change did these word produce |!
Alarm was at once removed from the skep.
tics mind Although avowing himself an
infidel, he now had confidence in the Bible.
He felt safe, He felt that man who kept
an old Bible in his house, and read it, and
bent the knee in prayer, was neither rob.
Der nor murderer. He listened to the SIM
pie prayer of the good man, at once dismiss
ed all his fears, and lying down, he slept as
calmy as he did under his own roof.
From that time he ceased to revile the
good old Bible. He became a sincere Chris.
tian and often related the story of this incid-
ent to prove the folly of infidelity.
