My thoughts are in the wilderness again,


That land Of silence, full of wondrous things,
nere solitude and nature hold their reigu,
ana earth TO time alone each tribute brings.
| Where all UNDECIDED falls the dew from heaven


And sings unheard the streamlet in the lea--
| Where laughs unseen the flower AZ rnorn and
even, O'H NNN
And where the oak from woodmar's ava i. 60.
There have the years unnumbered passed along.
Tracing their many things on natures face -
Waking no voice ike that which tells in song.
The story of some old and busy race.
Yet the unmeasured wilderness, weeu,


Hath III itself a silent history;
Such as is written on each wondrous scene,
BY natures great creative mystery


Where the Great Sculptor wrote in forming
"'Tis who all the boundless desert fill
am the Great AM and alone"
Such as is written where plain and mountain


meet,


And on the mounts unsullied crown of snow;
Auu Ou tHOse INV TStS Oedutlul uuu sweet
That on the mountains brow so queenly grow
Such as is written in many silent place,
And closed, but not with an eternal seal
For man will come to prune the wilderness,
And all its hidden mystery reveal.
And now at times some hardy pioneer
Rests for space where man hath rarely been
Hunts for while the nimble-footed deer,
O'erlooks the land and marks each distant scene.
He the forerunner Of a growing nation,


VIII mark his pathway in the trackless land
Will prune the forest for a habaton,


And till the earth with an unweaFied hand.
He'll break seal in natures wondrous book,
And read the writings of the pilgrim years;
They write on mother earth--and all who look
May read their writing as tnow appears.
The march Of empire towards the setting sun,
Will change the varied manuscript of Time,
Written in nature since his reign begun,


On the broad bosom of that hidden cline.
For on the footsteps of the pioneer


Will followa thousand valiant husbandmen,
Changing the desert, and their voice of cheer,
The newborn waste will echo back again.

The farmers generally attempt to cul-
tisate too much land. The disadvanta-
ges arising from this cause, are many
and obvious. 1t is no exaggeration to
say, that the land cultivated in the coun-
try are capable, under a high state of
cultivation, of productins twice as much
as they now produce.


When will our farmers in the country
ful appreciate this truIyl There is no
one thing that contributes so much to re-
tard our agriculture, as the folly of culti-
waiting too much land.


10 the first place no farmer should
think Of managing go or 100 acres of
land with one or two men. 1t is bad e.
economy to do so: nothing can be expected
from it but poverty.-poverty of both
land and purse. How much better it
would be to cultivate balf the number Of
acres, or less, and do it we'll. 1t costs
just muoh to plow an acre that will
yield ten busels of corn, as one that will
yield fifty or hundred bushels. The
difference in hoeiug would be trfe, and
the planting would be the same 1t will
require the same amount of fencing in
the one case as in the other, and the
same tax will have to be paid on each
Why not, therefore, plow less and plow
deeperl why not cultivate less land and
manure horei Farmers, many of them,
appear to forget that they have pro-
ductive farm just underneath the one
they are cultivating, equally and perhaps
much moro productive than the one on
the surface.


Turn up this farm, then, with deep
subsoil plow,-expoSe it to the action of
the sun and frost, and thereby double
your crop.

The Independence Beige has the following;


Every evening the King of Sardinia and the
commanders OF the various oOi ps d aimee have
TO send to the Emperor a succinOt report con-
tanning an account Of the number Of men preG-
ent under arms in each division; of any impOr-

the movements Of tho enemy. Every day, half
an hour before sunrise, the troops have TO get
under arms, as il they were about to be attack
ed, and as soon as the day breaks and il is GER
tain that the enemy are not about TO make any
offensive moment they are allowed TO return tl

the different generals send information to the
Emperor of all that they know as TO the enc
my's position The generals exercise the ut
most vigilance IN seeing that no officer has
greater quantity Of baggage than necessary. .--
No one whatever is allowed to have special
tent. The officers find lodging for themselves
in the houses near to their troops, and, if the
troops have to camp for many days far away
from any habltation, tents are supplied by the
Quartermaster- General. Each officer is Obliged
to carry his cloak in slings, and his day's pro-
visions. The Emperor has decided that during
active service the infantry troops shall only
carry with them the kept, the waistcoat, good
pair Of trousers two pairs Of shoes, one pan IN

Apprenticeship is the most important
stage of life through which a mechanic
is called TO pass; it is emphatically the
spring season Of his days-,he time when
he is sowing the seed, the fruits of which
he is to reap in after years. lfhe spares
no labor in IFS proper culture, he is sure
of obtaining an abundant harvest; but il.
in the culture of ibe mental soil, he fol-
lows the example of many in tilling the
earth, and carelessly and negligently
does his work, like them, he will find the
seeding time past, and his ground only
bringing forth weeds and briars. Ler
;hesyoung apprentice bear in mind, when
he commences learning any business,
that hopes of success in the future are
doomed to fade away like the morning
mist, unless he improves the golden sea-
son. Let him bear in mind that he can
bscome master of his business only
through the closest application and the
most preserving industry; and that unless
he does master it, he may bid farewell
to all the Visions of future prospects and
success. The apprenticeship is the foun-
dation of the great mechanical edifce;
and surely if the foundation Of struc-
tare be not firm, the structure itself
crumbles and falls te the earth. Then,
young friends, persevere; be studious
and attentive; study well all the branch
es of your business, both practical and
iheoretical-and when the time shall
come for you TO take an active part in
life. you'will not fail TO be of use, not
only in your own particular business,
but in society.

She helps to cooh the dinner she has
bought-for servants are wasteful with
charcoal, and she knows TO an inch how
little she can use. In that marvellous

three little holes in a stove, cook such
delicate dishes, and perform such Gull

about like fairy, creating magical
messes out of raw material of the
most ordinary description. Yes, though
lady born and bred, refined, elegant,
and agreeable in society, belle in her
way, she does not think it beneath her
dignity to tighten the household expenses
by practical economy and activity. The
dinner of French family is cheap and
simple. There is always soup, the meat
of the stew pan--sometimes, if not strict
in expenditure, another plate of meat
generally two vegetables, dressed and
eaten separately, and sometimes (not
always) sweet dish; if not that, little
fruit, such as may be the cheapest and
the ripest in the season. But there is
very little of each thing, and it is rather
in arrangement than in material that they
appear rich. The idea that the French
are gourmands in private life is incorrect.
They spend little in eating, and they
eat inferior things; though their cookery
is rather science than a mere accident
of civilization. At home, great aim Of

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection between
the words and thoughts as there is be-
tween the thoughts and the words; the
latter are not only the expression OF the
former. but they have power TO react
upon The soul, and leave the stain of
their corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to use one vulgar or
profane word. has not only shown that
there is foul spot upon his mind, but
by the utteraace of that word, he ex-
tends that spot and inflames it, till, by
indulgence it will pollute and ruin the
whole soul. Be careful of your words
as well as your thoughts. II you can
so control the tongue that no improper
words are pronounced by it, you will
soon be able, to control the mind, and
save that from corruption. You extin-
guish the fire by smothering it. or by
preventing bad thoughts bursting out in
language. Never utter word anywhere
which you would be ashamed to speak
in the presence of the most refined fe-
male. or the most religious man. Try
this practise a little while, and you will
soon have command Of yourself.

Russia is said 10 be gradually and
steadily recovering from her late losses;
and it is certain that not only in her do
mestic, but also in her foreign policy,
she has entered upon a track widely
apart from that in which Nicholas drove
rather than guided her for FIVE and
twenty years. The ambition of the pres
ent Gear is 10 bring his Government as
rapidly as possible into sympathy if not
harmony with the monarchic systems Of
Western Europe. He has no faith in the
peirifying policy of his father, which
certainly succeeded, TO all appearance,
in destroying all visible independence Of
thought or susceptibility, to impulse from
without, yet proved itself to be unrelia-
BILE in the hour of trial. Nicholas re-
duced the power of his country TO the
imrassivity of stone, and when he at
tempted TO WELD it, it broke in his hand.
His sons have other views. The present
Emperor is Perseveringly bent on the
creation of an agricultural middle class
by the Communication of the labor rent paid
by the peasantry on certain terms; and
his brother Constantine, whose naughty
and impeiuous temper render him more
like the late Gear, is said 10 be less dis
posed than even Alexander himself to
temporise with the recalcilrate nobles.-

An immense amount of real estate in Min

question not less important for us than for

They cannot sell them to people here for they
