HEAVENLY MESSENGERS.

HEAVENLY MESSENGERS.
Oh, lovely sunbeams through the meadows
dancing
On golden pinions all the livelong day,
Kissing young leaves, on crystal streamlets
glancing
Changing to living gold their silver spray;
Wee amorous elves, coquetting with the roses,
Wooing the daisy in her grassy bed
Till the shy flower unconsciously uncloses
Her dew-gemmed leaves, and bushes rosy
red.
streaming,
awake,
Calling young song-birds from their happy
dreaming,
Waking the laughter of the dimpling lake;
Playing "Bo-peep" amid the white buds
blowing
In pearly clusters on the hawthorn tree,
To the round eyes of wondering childhood
showing
The rapid journeyings of the wandering
bee!
Shedding halo bright on youthful tresses,
Bidding young hearts for very rapture
sing,
Touching the brow Of care with kind caresses,
Or glinting lightly on the skylark's wing.
All, merry sunbeams. like sly Cupids straying
In the glad footsteps of the rustic lass,
On sun tanned cheek and snow white kerchief
playing,
TwinklIng like firefiies in the emerald grass
Oh, lovely sunbeams, like bIest angels Gid
ing
Through courts of squalor, sickness, want,
and gloom.
Telling of clouds like golden chariots riding
Proudly majestic DER world of BOOM
OF winding lanes, and milk white homesteads
peeping
Like modest virgins from secluded bowers;
OF shallow pools, and baby streamlets leap
In giddy gladness meath down dropping
flowers.
On the poor children playing in the gutter,
Nursed amid hardship, bitter tears, and
signs,
Kissing their rags like loving friends We
hutter,
Warming their limbs, and sparkling in
their eyes!
When from the dust they raise their beaming
faces,
Once pinched and wan, now radiant with
delight,
Ye love to show a thousand fairy graces
That want and squalor have no power to
blight.
Dance, lovely sunbeams through fair coun-
try meadows,
Battle hall and cottage in your holy light,
From city slums go chase the mournful
shadows
That fill poor homesteads with eternal
night.
To those who pine in ignorance and sorrow
May all your tenderest, hottest gifts be
given,
That Borrowing hearts one ray of hope may
borrow
In the sweet knowledge that ye come from
heaven.

Wonderful Chestnut Graft.

"a novelty in the shape of chestnut
graft upon a sapling of the same species
can be seen," says the York (Pa.) Daily,
"upon the mountain farm of Mr.. Levy
Wallace, in Conewago township. Our at.
tention was called to it a few days since,
and the gentleman informed US that he
did the grating in the spring, and the
very small twig inserted only few
months ago has now grown to the height
Of at least three or four feet, and many of
the leaves thereof are very large measur-
ing nineteen inches in length and nearly
seven in width. and still growing larger.
Curiosity impelled US to note the size OF
the largest leaves upon grown chestnut
trees, which we found to be from ten to
twelve inches long and about three and a
half wide. Altogether it is novel exper-
iment upon the part of Mr.. Wallace, and
II the size of the leaf is criterion to guide
US, the nuts which may appear thereon in
future will be mammoth ones, indeed"

The guarantee fund of one million and
fifty thousand dollars which the Board of
Commissioners have at their command, has
enabled them to provide magnificent quar-
tiers in which to display the mass of articles
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nu-
merous ExpoSitions on a smaller scale have
been held, and which cost over one million
dollars, will give to this affair better facili-
ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing of
the kind ever held in this country, not ex-
cepting the famous Exposition in Philadel-
phia in 1876 The area of exhibiting space
will be about 100000 square feet. The tenn
porary buildings, when ready for occu-
pancy, will have cost no less than quarter
of million of dollars, and are models Of
architecture, combining all the elements
necessary for the uses to which they will
be put.
The Exposition has been advertised for
the past year in a mastery manner, and
there is no section of the country that has
failed to hear of the great event. Applica-
tions for exhibiting space have been re-
ceived in abundance from every cline, and
there seems to be no reason to doubt its en-
tire success, both artistically and fnan-
