Is iit not sweet to think, hereafter, When the Spirit, leaves this sphere, Love, with deathless wing, shall waft, her To those a e- long hath nouirn'd For here? Hearts, from which 't was death to sever, Eyes, this world can ne'er restore, There, as warm, as bright as ever, Shall meet its and be lost no moro. 1 When wearily we wander, asking Of earth and heav'n, where are they, Beneath whose anile we once la.y basking, Biest, and thinking bliss would stay ? flope still lift-i her radiant finger - 'liltig 1o (th' eternl 11011o,t Upon whose portal yet they linger, Looking buck for us to come. Als, aMas-doth hope deceive us? Shall ffiendship-love -ihal all those ties ihat bind a momerit, and then Ivavei us, lt Fouind again where nothing dies? 01, if no other hon were given, To keep our hearts from wrong and stain, Wh11o would not try to win a Hieavenl Where all we love shall live auil ?

There had been rainl; and although the . sun nwas thon shinling brightly, yet ! the long iciclus hunt from tile ,qvei of the houses, and the whools rkimblod loudly as tLhe passed over' the frozen ground. Thoro was a elear, bright, look, and a cold, brae ing fooling in the ai,' ad a kenol c Doirt -west wind, which qtiickoned very stup. Just then a litle child cztmo running alonig-a poor, ill-clad child ; her clothes were scant and threadbaro; sle lil no cloak and no shawl; aid her little bare foot lookod red and sufforing. She could not have boon moro that. eight years old. She carried a i bundlo in her hand. Poor, little, lhivoring child I I, even I, 'who I could do nothing else, pitied her. A she passed me, her foo slipped i upon the ice, and she fell, with a I cry of' pain; but she hold the bun de tightly in her hand, and juimpintg up, although she limped sadl, endovorod to run as before. "Stop, little girl, stop," slid a1 sort,sweet voice; and a beautiful woman, wrapped in a large shawl, and with furs all around her, itmo oli t of a jvallor's store close hy. .Poor li ttlo child," said sheo, "tare yout hurt?

I went with the little girl and saw her go to a Mirrow, damp treet, and into a small dark room; nd I saw. her mother-her sad, aded mother ; but with a face so wet, so patient, hushing and' oothing a sick baby. And the )abo slept; and the mother laid t on her ow'i lap, and the bundle vas unrolled; and a dim candle ielped bor with her work, for hough It was not night, her room vas very dark. Then, after a vhile, she kissed her little girl, mnd bade her warm her poor little 'rozen foot over the scanty fire in he grate, and gave her a little >ioce of broad, for she had no more; md then she heard her say her >vening prayer, and folding her enderly to her bosom, biessed her, mnd told her that the angels would ako care of her.

And as the wight spangles glittered on the atin slippers, came there no re ,itiing into her heart?

A Western farnier gives his eo. perieneo On this point ts followet iaving fed boiled cori to a few cattlo last wilntor, I became con vinced that it. was profitable and decided to t.ry It thoroughly thisl year. I am tinow feeding only two bushels of corn per day, to seventeen htad of oxon and heavy steorm, and never saw cattle fattou better in my liW, In addition to this they have a lihbeal tupply of* corn fbdder and, if' any farmer cant name a chea>er way to make beef, I should liko to hear frot himl. Perhaps the reader may sup-, poso that the process of cooking is tedious and uxpeiisivo, but it Wa not so. I have a boiler five feet long; two attd a half' wide, and one and a half' deep; the sides of which are made of lpoplar plank, and the bottom of' sheet copper (iron is inuch elapier and just at good) which will hold six bushels of C:OI'll. Tihii is set on a ttono fur 1ncO an11d W1hen full of corn is filled about two-tbirdI' full of* wa Ler-, and eovered to confine the steam. After heating the water to a boiling point, it ik allowed to Cook aboul, twenty minutes, when it is taken out and thrown into the tubs which have holes in the bottom to drain the water back into the boiler. By taking the corn ont at one eod, thoro is soon room enough to roll tihe grain whiebl is on the top dowtln ito the hot water, which in addition to the steaming it has already received cooks it suf ticuently. In cold weather the corn must bo put into a bin in the collar, which is the hardest part of the labor. A handful of salt should be thrown in Oevry time the boiler is filled. Otne man will cook twonty-fivo bushci in half a day, and one cord of wood will boil a hundred bushols. The cob of corn, in its dry state, is about as digestible as a whitO oak chip, and tle grain has just bogun to soften after soaking mix hours in cold water ; but after boiling, tihe cob is eas14ily chowed and the grain crushes into cooked meal indor the tooth, so that the processm of' digestion Commu0 1COR att once. I am11 conivinced that Clattle, will thrive better unon two bush ela of boilod cotn, tian upon three buslels itt its natural state.
