Oue year ago—ami yet it soeuia
But yefttcruight of painful dream*,
We watched life’s ebbing.tide,
Ottr cherub boy, our hope and pride.
Time scarce has quelled the yearniug {min
To clasp the^» to our heart again ; • ,
And yet it casts a mellowing haze
“ Athwart those bitter, bitter days.
For who; ah !\vho would call thee back
To tread again life’s weary track f
Would draw thee from thy heavenly birth
Ami chain thy pinions down to earth?
One year we’ve missed thy pratt’liug tone,
One year for thee before the throne,
One year onr earthly hopes are*riven,
One year our angel boy in heaven.
« •
Oue year we’ve mourned above thy tomb,
Whilst thon hast basked in Eden's bloom.
One year our deepest gTief unsealed,
What has the year to thee revealed f •
Ah! what ? wo bend a list’niug ear,
And feel that tliou art liov’ring near,
Wo fain would catch one whispered tone,
One gleam of light from worlds unknown.
Vat well to wait till life is o’er
Or earthly sounds could charm no more,
On mortal eye those visions bright.
Would close in sudden, ray less night.
One year in heaven ; ah! youth nor age.
Can read on earth that gilded page, |.
But thou the inyst’ry can’st unfold.
By sage and prophet loiig foretold.
Oue year in heaven, yet not by years, *
They iimnber life on those bright spheres,
Nor seasons pass nor flowers decay,
Nor shades obscure that cloudless day.
They rise in knowledge, joy and love,
Vet ne’er grow old in worlds above ;
Their watchword there Jehovah’s name,
Where dwells in light the great I Am.

“GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF T1IY STEW
ARDSHIP.”
No oue will question the truth of
the assertion, that every reasonable
being will be called to account for
tho manner in which he has im
proved the blessiugs of heaven, and of
liitn who has received much will
much be required. You, my young
friends, have received much; there
is mor%4hau #ne talent committed to
your care, and remember from whose
hand the blessing comes. Compare
your lot with that of the ignorant,
debased, untaught child, of poverty
and sin, and let each one ask himself
tire questiou, “Who maketh us to
differ, and what have I that I did uot
receive!* Remember that, the un
profitable servant was condemned,
not for auy great transgression, bat
simply because be had betrayed the
trust reposed in him—had hidden
his Lord’s money, instead of employ
ing it in trade and thus increasing
it.
And what is the greatest talent
ever committed to the charge of
mortal man ! A knowledge of gos
pel truth. And this talent is yours,
dear youth of a Christian laud; yours
not only to treasure up in your own
hearts, but to dissemmiuate through
out the world. No matter what your
cireumstauces, or what your calling,
if you have the .Bible yourself, you
are ^blpiiliiided to make known its
tretls to fitters. ‘ Whether at home
or abroad, at the work shop or in the
school-room, in the field or in the pul
pit, you may preach the gospel by a
holy life and godly conversation.
“Freely ye have received, freely
give.”
Each at his death will be called, to
“give an account of his steward
ship,” but the final reckoning will be
reserved for the day of judgment,
and there take place in the presence
of all nations. Picture to yourself
then the glorious reward of him who
has followed the footsteps of his
Master in “bringing many sons unto
glorf.” IT ear the welcome plaudit—
“Wall done good and faithful ser
vant; Ihfiti hast been faithful over a
tew things, I will make thee rul£r
over rnauy things; enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord.” Turn then to
him who is himself saved “as by
Are,” who having known the gospel
all his jtfe, yet never taught its pre-
cions truths to a single fellow-creature
or who has destroyed his own in
fiueuce and brought reproach upon
the cause of his Master by the in
consistency of his life. How can he
bear the reproaches of those who are
lost through bis regret, or the mild
rebuke of his Judge even though
blended with pity and forgiveness 1
Bat if we shrink from such a lot,
how shall we contemplate his, who,
having , learned the glad tidings of
salvation at a mother’s knee, who
having heard the command in the
morning «kf life, “Go into my vine
yard and labor,” turned a deaf ear
alike to command, promise and
threatening, and is fonnd still idle at
the close of the day, having neither
entered the vineyard himself, nor
enlisted the labor of others! “He
that knew his Lord’s win, and did it
not shall be beaten with many stripes.”
And through all eternity the bitter
est dregs in the inexhaustible cup of
wrath diviue will be,blended with
these words, “Ye knew your duty,
but yet did it not”
May heaven preserve you, my dear
readers, from this fearful doom.
Then before bidding you adieu, let
mo beseech you to make this your
daily, nay, your constant prayer:
“Lord, what wilt thou have me to
do t” And may you hear aud heed
the answer, “Go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature ” • • •
A Historical’ Parallel.
The historian Gibbou has remarked
that if a man were called upon to fix
the period in the history of the
world, duriug which the condition of
the human.race was most happy aud
prosperous, he would, without hesi
tation, name that which elapsed from
the death of Domitian to the acces
sion of Com modus, when the vast
extent of the Rotnau J Empire was
governed by absolute law, under the
guidance of virtue and wisdom. The
decliue and till of the Romau Em
pire was published in 1776, the birth
year of American Independence, but
if it bad been written eighty years
later, the author might have found
an exoeptlou to his remark, so far, at
least, as our country is concerned, in
that golden age. of liberty aud con
tentment, in which not only the
image but the spirit of freedom
has enshrined in the hearts as well
as the institutions of a free people. '
The mean degeneracy and vile des
potism which have succeeded our
former high estate, are rendered the
more aggravating when we contrast
it with onr former exalted perfeetiou
and happiness. The detestable ty-
rauny which now prevails ovof the
South has sometimes been likened to
an Oriental despotism. The phrase
conveys no adequate idea of the sit
uation. It is related that when Per
sia was governed by the descendants
of Sell, a race of princes renowned
for their wanton cruelty, a young
noblemau declared 'that he never de
parted from the Sultan’s presence
without satisfying himself whether
his head was still on his shoulders.
It is remarked by the narrator of this
incident that the tranquility of the
Persian docs uot seem to have been
disturbed by this peril, any more
thau by tins danger of lightning or
apoplexy. He bad been trained np
frdm iufancy in the severe discipline
of the seragiio; his language afford
ed him no word for auy other form
of government except absolnte mon
archy, and history informed him that
such had ever been the condition of
mankind. These facts have becu
pointed out to show the peculiar
misery of the Romans duriug the
four score years, when Rome groaned
beueath a tyranny which extermi
nated the ancient families of the Re
public, am! was fatal to almost every
virtue and every talent. We are told
how differently the minds of Romans
were prepared for slavery-from those
of the Persians, having preserved, as
they had, tlie sentiments, or at least
the ideas, of their free born ances
tors ; having imbibed from Grecian
philosophy the most just and liberal
notions of tbe dignity of human na
ture, and the origin of civil society,
and learned from the history of their
own country to reverence a free, a
virtuous and victorious Common
wealth. There is another analogy to
the present condition of things to be
found in the utter impossibility which
existed of escaping from the hand of
the oppressor. Rome, like America
had no powerful neighbor, to arouse
apprehension, exert the gentle res
traint of example, or afford a refuge
for the oppressed. “Wherever you
are,” said Cicero to the exiled Mar-
cellus, “remember that you are
equally within the power of the con
queror.”
Who can fail to be struck with the
identity between the causes of the
peculiar misery of the Romans un
der their tyrants, and those of the
sufferingsof the people of the Bouth-
erd States ! These men now enslaved,
are the descendants of the race which
achieved Magna Charta for England
and Independence for this country.
The South, thus treated, is also the
main source of revenue to that Union
from which she has been kept out
like a leper, and only admitted at
last under the most tyrannical aud
exasperating conditions. The corner
stone of this grand constitutional
fabric was laid by the hands of the
giant who now stands just inside the
threshold of the temple, his hair
shorn, his eyes put out, and, for the
present, making* sport for the Philis
tines. Itis the proud old Southern
colonies, which, having no quarrel of
their own with the Kiug of England,
yet, took np from generous sympathy
the cause of Massachusetts; but for
whose Washington the Revolution
ary War would have been a disas
trous failure; whose Jefferson wrote
the Declaration of Independence;
whose Patrick Henry aroused the na
tions to arms with his fiery eloquence;
whose Marshall was the glory of
American jurisprudence ; whoae Mad
ison, Monroe, Tyler, Harrisou, Tay
lor, adorned the Executive chair;
whose Winfield Soott and Rough and
Ready were the leading military
figures of the Mexican war; whose
statesmen have illustrated the coun
cils as her soldiers the camps of the
Republic—these are the grand old
Commonwealths which for Seven
long years have been ground to the
earth under the heel of the negro
aud military vassalage, aud are .now
ouly permitted to occupy the edifice
which they made bj’ their own hands,
and adorned and immortalized by
their genius and virtue, from its
foundation to its pinnacle, as cap
tives and slaves!
Tbe country i£ looking with the
most ardent hope, and yet not with
out painful Bolicitude to the events
of November next to decide whether
the miser}- of Rome under her ty-
rauts, reproduced as it has been iu
the Southern States, is to be made
perpetual.
Domestic Life.
Domestic life is the school of pa
tience. Its duties, its difficulties,
and its delights, too, are constantly
recurring. Ouly the work of to-day
can be done to-day. There is a
sameness,'also, in the mere external
form, and ever recurring round that
must disgust, or make one a mere
mechanical drudge, unless the heart
is put into the work, and the little,
common, trivial ads, are made the
embodiment of noble cuds.- Step bj
step, stitch by stitch, stroke by
stroke, the work gties on. One round
of duty is completed only, to com
mence another. Every day is a les
son and a practical exercise in pa
tience. It is a good lemon, and we
need to learn and practice it. It
helps us to do another work which
is absolutely necessary to the perfec
tion of liumau character and the
happiness of home, and that is the
surrender of self. When two. |>er-
sons unite iu the marriage relation,
they become one by mutual concea
sions. They mutually npproarli each
other. There is much to give up as
well as to give on both sides. .
There are many sharp corners to
be rounded off, many rough surfime*
to lx* made smooth, and many crook
ed ways to be made straight, and
irregularities to be adjusted. Some
of these are in the very grain of the
constitution ; . some of them have
been confined and hardened into
habit, and it is difficult to make
any impressiou upon them. . Neither
must seek to make self the standard,
and to exact all the surrender and
conformity from the other. Neither
must seek to become the other, but
something better thau cither. When
two substances unite, chemically, tbe
resqlt is a substance different from
either of its components. So it
should be in marriage. Tbe result
should be favorable to husbaud. and
wife. Each oue should become freer,
nobler, stronger, purer, and wiser—
sbonld attain a higher excellence
than either could Attain alone. This
will always be tbe result when the
rule of action is mutual surrender,
accommodation, and' help. Each
should inquire, What can 1 yield ?
In what respect and how far can I
reform f
Every day-will bring occasions to
put our principles to the test. There
are diversities of taste, of principle.
Happy are those, who can yield their
own preference so cheerfully, that
the diversities of character are soft
ened and shaded off into harmonious
varieties, and not hardened into irri
tating and hostile opposition.
A great part of the suin of domes
tic misery is caused by this want of
mutual accommodation, in apparent
ly trivial things. It is as though tho
builder bad left bore and there iu
the floor, partitions and passages,
the sharp points of nails to pierce the
feet and read the garments; or as
though a thousunTl rough surfaces
aud sharp corners were frettiug the
inmates, aud loose, ill fitting joints
wore annoying them. If we could
see tho spiritual house as we see the
natural, We should discover all these
defects in tbe very walls. We would
see the marks and scars of paiuful
collisions: the want of proportion
and harmouy in the various apart
ments. I repeat, theu, if we desire?
to have the work in our spiritual
building to goon harmoniously to a
successful and noble issue, we must
seek harmony in little things. Our
intercourse must be courteous and
respectful. Wertiust be filled with
that worthy fear which is the off
spring of love—not fear of each
other, but fear for each other; fear
of ourselves that we may be w anting
[in some attention or respect; fear
that we may do less for each other,
and exact more from each other,
than we ought. In a word we must
seek tho good of each other, and of
all in tbe house, and around that
end as a centre, tbe life of each aud
all should revolve in freedom.—Setc
Jerusalem Messenger.
Progrew of Surgery; Skin-Grafting.
Some highly interesting experi
ments in surgery have recently been
made ill this country in what is
called “skin-grafting,” a brief ac
count of which is given in one of the
daily papers: “This curious surgical
operation is now not uncommon iu
the hospitals and in private practice.
Prof. A; B. Mott, of Bellevue Hospi
tal, has introduced it there. Some
time ago an Irishwoman op^gs city
was severely injured by the explo
sion of a kerosene lanqi, by which
her olotbiug was set ou fire ; and her
right urtn and her right breast down
to the stomach were frightfully
burned. She was removed to Belle-
vue Hospital and plated in -Dr.
Mott’s ward. Her case was uuder
treatment for months, h n d the pa
tient api>eared incurable. At the
same time a man named j IcCletiahau
was in the Hospital w hose leg had
been amputated at the thigh. Dr.
Mott considered that be might use
the healthy skin from the limb iu
oue more effort to cure the disabled
woman. He rcSilved to teat the «f>-
eratiou of ‘grafting.’ Eighty nine
pieces of iu tegument, each about 1-16
of an iuch square, were 4ut from the
amputated limb before tbe natural
warmth had passed out cjf it, aud by
gentle pressure applied to as many
poiuts of the great open Sore ou the
woman’s breast aud arm. Of these
811 pieces, 80 adhered add became a
part of her system. The cure is now
lierfect, aud the man w ho gave of
his body to heal the wotnau is also
well. Tho practice of •grafting’ is
looked u|>ou with favor by eminent
surgeons. Sometimes the skin is ob
tained for the purpose from the body
of a iiersou willing to render so much
service to another, but more fre
quently it is cat away from the
healthy parts of the patient’s own
body. In this cast*, however, Dr.
Mott used skin from an amputated
limb, and thus effected a cure. Old
aud obstiuate ulcers aud burns will
yield to this treatment when they will
not to any other.”
The Toll on Grinding Wheat.
The idea of |atying one-eighth of a
bushel for wheat for .grinding the
other Hewn eighths belongs to tlie
last century, (although it is now
done,) when Georgia was a colony of
Great Britain, ami Tennessee a traus
Alpine settlement of Nortih Carolina.
East Tennessee abounds
in fine mill
streams, and three thousand dollars
will build a mill that can grind two
huudred bushels of wheat a day for
ten dollars.
. Suppose thirty farmers who raise
wheat subscribe one hum red dollars
each and build a mill to grind their
grain ou a basis of five cedts a bushel
aud two hundred bushels a day !
They pay two millers two dollars a
day each, aud have six dollars left.
This gives twelve huudred dollars iu
two hundred days. Two hundred
dollars pay all incidental expenses
ami leave one thousand dollars la
conic from an investment of three
thousand dollars. These thirty far
mers raise forty thousand bushels of
wheat nml grind it; ami they re
ceive back fifty-eight pounds of flour
ami bran for every sixty pounds of
wheat sent to the mill. The wheat
loses two pounds iu passing through
the smut mill. Of the fifty-eight
IKMiml* returned, forty-three are flour
aud fifteen feed for cuw si aud other
stock. This first-rate stock feed, at
one-third of a cent a poutiil, is worth
five eents, and just pays for grinding
a bushel of wheat; while forty-three
pounds of flour, sold to a laboring
man for two dollars and seventy-five
cents |>er one hundred |H>dmls, gives
the farmer oue dollar anil eighteen
cents a bushel for his wli^at.—Plan

Farming at tho South.
Oue of the greatest errors ip
Southern farming has becu resting
tbo soil after it was woru out, that it
may be reccqxrated by tho slow pro
cess of the growth and decay of crop
after cn»p of weeds. Better rest
such land before it is exhausted by a
crop of peas or other green crojis
ploughed in; and save the years it
will take to fertilize the soil by the
scauty growth of weeds. The appli
cation of very little farm-yard or
special compost manure, with the aid
of tbe atmosphere, will give a green
crop, and if two such crops are nec
essary to bring (lie land to a bearing
fertility, it will save time and be
more economical than to loose the
use of the laud for a much longer pe
riod, and theu have to inauure it be
fore it will briug paying crops. As
chemical manures are now in gene
ral use among the cotton pluuters
there is much complaint of their
adulteratiou or failure to be well
manufactured. The editor of the
Southern Cultivator v says: “Our
faith rests upou experience, and bit
ter experience-it has becu. We have
not Jiad au opportunity of examining
rnauy of the so-called acid phos
phates, but all we have seen were in
ferior articles. They were made of
Charleston phosphates; the material
had not been groutul, sulphuric acid
had ouly acted on the outer parts of
the little lumps, and ouly a small
l>art therefore of- the original phos
phate had been changed into su|x$r-
phosphate. Probably, too little
water being present, a coating of
plaster of Paris, generated by the ac
tion of the acid, had set around each
lamp and protected it from any fur
ther action of the acid. Hence a
good part of the acid present re
maiued free.” He advocates com-
lasting cotton seed with good super
phosphate, as the free acid will aet
on tbe hull of the seed and the whole
kernel is brought into available con
dition for. the food of plants; they
should be composted together, the
acid would then fix the ammonia aud
none would be lost if a layer of muck
or soil covers the heap.
Another planter, discouraged with
the commercial superphosphate he
hail tried, substitutes the phosphate
guano-, which be has fonnd to bold
its phosphate of lime in a state really
soluble when composted with other
substances.—0. .V., Cor. Sew York

SIMMONS'
Sawdust
The liOitdou Field, one of the high
est authorities, says of sawdust: “I
litter the horses on it to the depth of
Bine inches, raking off the damp and
soiled surface every morning, and
spreading evenly a little fresh, re
moving the whole four or five times
a year. Its advantages appear to be
many, of which I will state a few
which give it, in my estimation, its
greatest superiority over straw. It
is much cleaner and more easily ar
ranged ; and, of course, much cheap
er at first coat, making in the end
excellent manure. It is peculiarly
beneficial to the feet, affording them
a cool, porons stuffing, a substitute
for the soil of earth we always find
in tbe hoofs of a horse at grass, aud
presents the nearest resemblance to
the horses’ natural footing—the
earth. We never had a diseased foot
since the introduction of sawdust iu
the stable, now some years siucc.
Horses bedded on sawdust are also
freer from ilusV nml stains than wlieu
an ordinary litter, simply because
sawdust is a better alisorbent, jx*r-
liaps, and testify their approval of it
by frequently lying down for hours
in the day. It has also the recom
mendation of being uneatable—an
advantage which all iu oharge of
horses with tbe habit of eating their
litter will admit.”
