Our love is wide as the woe, It leepens beside every grave, Where the heart of a hero lies low. Land'of thea-hrightiest of skies! Our lovoglow. tiho inore'miel thy glootm, Our hearts, by the saldiest of ties, Cling closest to thee in thy doom. Land where the desolate weep ! In a sor'row too deep to censole, Our tears are but streams, making deep The ocean of love in our soul. Land where the victor flag waves Where only the ldead ire tIe( free, Bach link ot' the chain that enshives, Shall bind us the closer to thee. L-und where I lie sign of Lite gross ' Its shadows of sorrow halh shed, We measure our love by thy loss; Thy loss ---by the graves o0'our dead! Lot "Repablicans" Read This.

"Vandialis.."-In the hitter part of the fifth century, Ooneseric, command ingal forde of Vandals, crossed from Carthagc t'o floime, and do: troyed that city, in iere waii'tonness of power. It was this circumstance which originated the term of "vandalism," as applied to everything harsh and cruel. Political N icknancs- 'IIegenot." The,term "Ilugenot," applied to a sect of 1"rench Protestant, is a iekname. They were forced, from fea-r of the Cath olics, to hold their meetings at night, in caves and rocks. and wero on this ac count ''llugenots," aft r King lingnown' --the prince of "hehgoblins.' "Aristocrat."-'I'ho term "Aristocrat " is a political nickname, also, and is of l+'reucl origin. Miiring a revodliti tt itt Prance, the nobility, in (erision, called the revolntion ists-who were compe:,e chiefly of the lbvrer orttrs--a ille, and they inl retaliation called the nobilhty "Aristocrats.'' ''W/i!/''-Thetwo epithbts, "Whig'1 and "'Tory," used in JE:nglan'd, origina in a similar manner. The Rloyalist par ty being displeased at something done' by the Bepiblican patrty. applied the term c'Wivhig",.o themi--a "cou0 isi ward meaning a be'drage of sonuir' milk ; whilst the Iepiblicans called h in 'Tories,' afler a hand of Irish robber's infesting I relatiid.

Zwingle, the cotemporary of' Luther, im speaking of his troubles to control his weakness, sa ys : "It is slow to obedience, comr radictorv, and like a womfleian, will ever have the last word, id know the reason for everyituing.'' CXL'lrian OF Oxioxs.--The main crop, if not already down should be as souln as possible, and as it. is a crop or considerable importance, we offer a few wo: ds of advice. The ground having been plowed or trenched during the an umn or winter, is allowed to renimtin' that state until in a goo condition to work, when it is levelled down and marked out into beds three and a half or fout feet wide, with spaces eighteent inches wide. Before the seed is sown, the beds are raised somewhat. above thim ordinary level by thi& soil from the cigl:. teen iieh spaces, and when the surface has .become perfectly dry the seed is sown and the beds rolled or trodden down until tiey appea' as hard as a gravel walk. A thin coating of soil is then strewn evenly over the whole, ad the roller passed over the beds. The beds being narrow, enable tihe operator to weed, loe and clean wiill facilit v, without i:nhry to the plants. 'l'he ad iantages of' the abo'o method of raising onions are: the plan's have a greate' depth of soil than usual, they grow wiit greater sturdiness than those highly ma nured upon low grounds, while the elc vattion of the beds enables the sun to penetratei a considerable depth into tle earl h, thereby slightly checkin iig a growth, and of course iindicin' c-irly' maturity.
