Our Country Churches.

The idea of planting the school-house
grounds with trees and shrubs and
flowers has been persistently advocated,
and there is some advancement in this
direction, though it is slow. Naturally
we may expect that similar improve
ment may be extended to the church
grounds. 1t is a work that all are
interested in and all can assist in. A
great, bare building standing alone,
without tree or twining vine to lend it
grace, as the country church is usually
seen, has little in its exterior to make
it attractive, and there are few among
us puritanical enough to think it better
for the purpose it is designed for by
reason of the poverty of its surround
ings. Why should we not take pride
in making the grounds about the coun-
try churches neat and attractive? The
stretch of straight board or picket fence
usually seen on either side, and the
carriage shed at the back, can be
clothed with hardy vines, such as
Clematis, Virginiana, Begonia, or Te-
coma radicans, Aristolochia sipho,
Celastrus scandens, Periploca greca,
Wistarias and Honeysuckles. Low
branched trees can be set in clumps, in
such way as to screen the carriage
shed from the view in 'front.' and about
the church there can be groups of low
growing trees and towering shrubs that
will make the place scene of beauty
instead of one of desolation, as it most
commonly is. Such work should be a
work of love, and many hands could
make it light work. Our thoughts
and aspirations in our visits to the
place would be no less reverent for
these pleasing surroundings. On the
contrary, all experience shows that our
sense of the beautiful and our moral
ideas are closely allied, and that the
latter may be more effectually min
istered to and advanced when the
former is satisfied. If the gates of
Zion are beautiful we shall none the
less sincerely enter its courts with
praise. Vick'S Magazine.

Too Soon.

Once more the barns are heaped with hay,
The locusts hum the live.long day,
The lilies blossom tall;
The gistening field is thick with grain,
The apple takes a crimson stain
Above the pasture wall.
l watch the year with jealous eye
As lavish summer hastens by,
For all too swift close
So fast the happy seasons run,
Till autumn's changing wind and sun
Shall herald in the snowsl
Companion dear of careless days,
Whose warm and fearless glance betrays
A trusty heart within,
Your voice has made the morning sweet
And all my pulses leap to meet
The lightest look win.
When melting color charms the eye
And earth repeats the sunset sky
on every purpling hill,
An idler at the moving show
Alone and lonely l shall go,
And think upon You stilll

My BlOssOm---FOr Mrs. G..

ny s. A. w.
I had flower at eventide
The violets missed her from their side;
She was the blossom of my heart.
Nor from the parent stem did part
Till death the chalice bore away
And left me but the shrinking clay.
Her lily feet just touched the earth,
Then walked where angels have their birth.
Her life to me was like the light
That lies on placid lake by night;
The lake Is calm in peaceful rest
While her beloved sleeps on her breast
Her death, like that of some sweet flower
That closes in bright morning hour,
The shutting up of life to me,
The sealing of its fragrancy.
My mornng-glory frail and fair
Transplanted now in heavenly air,
The cup Is full of odors sweet
Which thou dost cast at Jesus feet.
My darling Grace, no more my care;
My blossom that loved to wear;
Ali well know thy place of rest,
An angel lays thee on his breast.
