All that's bright must fade,


The brightest still the f1eetest;
All that's sweet was made


But to be lost when sweetest;
Stars that shine and fall,


The flower that droops in springing
These, alas, are types of all


To which our hearts are elinging
Who would seek to prize


Delights that end in aching?
Who would trust to ties


That every hour are breaking?
Better far to be
In outer darkness lying,
Than be blest with light, and see


That light forever flying,

RENOVATION OF THE PEACH TREE.-The edi-
tor of the New England Farmer says that
gentleman residing in Cambridge informs him
that charcoal placed around the roots of the
deceased peach stock was valuable. He i'm
mediately removed the soil from around the
trunk of sickly tree in the garden, supplied
its place with charcoal, and was surprised at
its sudden renovation and subsequent rspidi-
ty of its growth, and the tenacity with which
the fruit held on the branches and the ufusu-
al richness of its flavor when matured.

WINE AS A TEMPERANCE AGEST.-Conside-
rable attention is of late being paid to wine
as an efficient aid in temperance reform. 1t
is urged with good reason that, if the public

wine and beer-the consumption of strong
alcoholic liquors would be measurablv de-
creased and the health and morale of the
community notably improved. The pure
Juiee OF the grape, though drank to excess
seldom if ever, produces delirium tremens

the too free use of ardent spirits; neither
does it undermine and finally PROSTATE the
