Oh G?vl! how benutiful in earth,
In sunlight or in *hade,
llet fore*** with their waviiig arch,
Her flower* that gem the glade.
Her hillock*, white with fleecy flocks,
Her fields with grain that glow,
lller sparkling r\vprs, deep and broad,
That through the valley flow.
Her crested wave* that clash the shore,
And lift their anthem loud.
Her mountain* with their solemn brows,
That woo the yielding cloud.
Oh Oud I how beautiful is life
Tbr.t ihot! doat lend us here, ?
With tinted hopes that line the cloud,
Aud joys that gem the tear.
With crndle liymna of motbera young,
And (rend of youthful feet,
That aenroe. in their elastic bound,
Bow down the gia*a flower* aweet.
With brightness round the pilgrims staff,
WliOj Rt the set of sun.
Behold* llie golden gates thrown wide,
And all his work well done;
But if tliM*Earrh whicft cKabgea m?r,
That life, to denlli that leads,
Are made ao beautiful by Him
From whom all good proceeds,
How gtnriou* qiu*i that region be
Where all the pu>e ami bleat
From chnnce. and fear, and sorrow tree,

Xk Marvel's Address to Farmers.
Donald tj. Mitchel (Ik Marvel) recentlv
delivered the animal address before the Con

a condensed repott in the Hartford paper*
we aelecl .the following admirable doting
paiagiaphs:
Bui there if something worth living for,
betide* money. That is very good, but ill*
not all. With, the real, let us raise a crop
of good idea*. While you are a fainter,

And responsibilities. Live down the old
brutal ootioD that a fanner must be uncoqth,
uneducated, aud unthinking?a mere plodder.

with the great heart of civilization. You
cannot get out of the buzz of the toiling
world. The trill of the wonder working

A H-mans Soldier.
T wtw not more than eight or nine year*
old when the eotmtry became riotous in our
neighborhood. 8t*nding at the window of
our drawing-room, I saw thousands of determined
men march past. My mother, a
servant, and myself, were all of the family
in the house at the moment; I hurried to
that servant, who seemed petrified, add.
leaving her, young as I was, I pushed home
the outer doois. and bolitwl them. I
ed again to the drawing-room ; the ioirud
era were retreating. The 8 xty third Kegi
menu under the JEarl of Bak-arm*. who
managed *o badly in Jamaica afterward*,
chaiged tlie.ri<4or* with the bayonet, and
ultimately dispersed them. A second time
I witnessed a similar *M?ne, when troop* and
a six pnuhder loaded with gr?j?e, were
drawn up under the samo window. The
riot act was read. Six thousand men were
demanding bread : thev committed no act*
??f violence, but need threats. R>-fu?tng ( ?
reti;e. the pin was pointed into the midst
of thetn, in a confined street. Match in
hand, the artillery only wailed for the Word
" tire." The magistrate* and military ooinmatider.
n militia colonel, would have discharged
the gun into the mass of human
being?* before it. not a dozen yards distant
from the muzzle, when the adjutant, an old
cnplain in the line, interfiled, " Lower the
touch-hole, for God's sake?they are all in
"our power." The gun was fired. The
shock struck me with fear. I thought of
the mischief done. I could see but a little
way up the street. Prisoner* were made ;
and the rioters dispersed : a few were hurt,
as the shot nearly all went over their heads,
owing to thendjulaui'e interference with those
to whom he had read a lesson of humanity.
It was now discovered that the people
were suffering in a painful manner from
want. Then, as usual in England, when
the mischief is done, steps wete taken to
provide remedies, which, had they been
taken at the time the most ordinary forecast
diet tied, would liHve prevented the on I break, j
and an extended feeling of discontent with j
authorities* till then respected ; but that

You Love Me to Dearly.
There ate time* when we learn a* much
from our childien as they learn from us.- ?
I In re is something in the miles* simplicity
of childhood that proves stronger than the
careworn severity of innluie years. I was
silling in the piazza at evening, musing too
doulufullt upon the Inline, and letting the
clouds of care darken the beauty of a bril
limit sunset. I will not say what burden
weighed upon the spiiit, nor what doubt
bad risen as t?> the course of Divine Providence.
Jus: then little feet were heard, and
HIV child ran gaily to my extended arms.?
Catching the playful spiiit of tny little girl,
I seized her iu my hands and held her over
the railing, as if to let her fall. A?lonUhed
at her want of fear, I a>ked, 44 What, not
afraid I Why don't you cry ? Won't I let
you fall!" 4> Wo, papa lave tne so dearly /"
was the instant reply.
1 cannot tell what instruction distilled
like cordial through rnv soul. The words
of perfect confidence lingered in nay ears
and entered tuy heart, ft is impossible that
a father's love should lei fall the child who
Ilex smiling in hut arms. IIow, liien, can
the Heavenly father let fall the children who
iruvt in iliro. Every douht is rebuked, and
every dark foreboding put to toe blush, by
the Itwaon which a child ba? uttered. Are
we not the son* of Hod? And is our fu
ture destiny too sublime for comprehension,
so it doth not yet appear what we shall be;
and still shall we fear to lie passive in our
Father's Arms? (Joes lie not love us loo
dearly to let ua fall ? if he did not refuse
the greatest boon, but "delivered Him upfor
ua all," will he not also freely give us all
tilings? With an adtMpiat* idea of our relation*

The whole subject of miinure may be
stated in this proposition.
1. Manure docs not waste so long as it is
uufeiinented. or.undissolved, and these coii
dilions may be effected by drying .-atura
lion.
2. Fresh manure is unfit for fooJ foi
plants.
8. Fermenting manure, in contact with
inert matter, has the power of neutralizing
vicious properties, such as the tonic acid of
peat, and making it a fertilizer.
4. Manure wastes iu two wava?the escape
of gas, and the dissolving of its solu
hie salts.
5 Tlie creative power of tnnnuro, mixed
with other sub-tances. is capable of inuliiphinif
its value inativ times.
0. The value of manure to crops is in
proportion to its divisibility through the
roil. This golden value of fainting should
be small quantities of manure ihoioughly
divided and intermingled with the soil.

months, during which time he has delivered
upward of fifty discourses, and two hundred

he never studies bis seintons or makes anv
