question, claiming that there was a
higher law than the Constitut on, and
disregarding the compromises and

which the Union and the Constitution
were founded, is equally undeniable

THE POEM.
The vine on the cot is blowing,
The nest is built in the tree,
And the apple limbs are showing
Their blooms in the fragrant lea.
Che bird TO his mate is singing,
The lambkin Skips on the hill,
And the rosy clover's springing
Beside the gurgling rill.
Sir Strephon his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp,
And the boy in the back yards tying
The can TO the brindled purp.
Above the lake in the hollow
That mirrors a cloudless sky
Is darling the airy swallow,
And the purple dragon-f1y.
The bumble-bee in the garden
Runs riot the livelong day,
And Maud in her Dolly Warden
PIucks flowers along the way.
Sir Stephen his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp,
And the boy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.

IF this poetic daisy
Should make you sad and sore,
And get you wild and crazy
Tospill me on the floor,
And hurl me through the easement,
Or maui me like a toy,
And drop me to the basement,
Why-take it out of the boy!

EinIncnsisy OF Creation.

Some astronomers have computed that
there are no less than 100000 suns in
Tie universe. The fixed stars are all
suns, and have, like our sun, numerous
planets revolving around them. The solar
system, or that to which we belong, has
about thirty planets, primary and second
airy, belonging to it. The circular field
of space which it occupies is in the diam
cter 5000, 000, 900 of miles, and that which
it controls much greater. That sun which
is nearest ncighbOr to ours is called Sirius,
distant from cur sun $4,000, 900, 600 miles.
Now if all the fixed stars are as far distant
from each other aS Sirius is from our sun.
and if the collar system of each of the
10000, 900 of suns occupies in diameter
5000 ,CGC. coo Of miles, what imagination
can grasp the immensely Of creation?
Every sun of the 1000, coo OF suns con-
tro:s a field Of space OF about 10000, 900 of
miles in diameter. Who can survey a
plantation, containing 5000, 900 circular
iieldS, each of them 100000 miles in
diameter! ouch, however, - oHe Oh the

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

FISH AND Ice PoSDS Almost every
farm Of one OF two hundred acres has one
small stream or place that might be easily
made into shallow lake or pond suitable
Tor fiSli-breeding in summer and for ice
i'm winter. \ sandy brook with pretty
high banks, aud across which dam could
I've thrown, with waste gate to prevent
the water from rising too high, would
answer admirably, especially if there is
enough level ground between the banks
to allow OF Il sufficient eXpause of water
10 make 4 respectable pond. If it could
be several acres "a extent il would be all
the better for the fish, and ought to be of
such a formation rs 10 have both deep and
shallow water all the lime. Ii should
not be too shady, as most fish like sunny
spot at certain times, and will not thrive
we'll without it. A few trees, however,
should DC left to grow, and around the
borders and OR the little islcts, if any, the
water ilag and other aquatic plants should
be encouraged 10 grow.
Somc pains ought to be taken to trim
UP and beautify the trees and banks sur
rounding the lake, especially if situated
anywhere within half mile of the dwell
ing, for then, if provided with i boat,
such piece OF property would afford
most delightful recreation in summer,
whenever the owner or his family should
feel like taking sail on the water. 1t
should, therefore, DC beautiticd rs much
a. possible in reasonable limits, the fine,
thrifty growing trees ana shrubs should
be trimmed, the banks made smooth, and
the surroundings made pretty and agree
able to the eye. Such Il lake would be a
most delightful place 70 while away the
hours OF :: warm summer afternoon, II,
fortunately for him, the farmer could
now and then spare the time from the
active laborS OF the farm. And then what
81 fine bathing place could be had al sum-
mer, and skating ground IN winter. Yer
lily, we doubt if the same amount of prop
crty could be turned TO so much account
in any other way.
If, then, the reader has stream that
could he converted into permanent lake,
let him look about it now. First clear
away all the debris and then make . sub
stamtiul dam, and the main part of the
worl; is done. The pruning and dressing
up the surroundings can be done at inter
walls during the coming years, as time and
study of the subject may show to be nee
cssary. The farmer must change the old
motto, live to labor, into labor TO live.
