Till heavenly inundates bid thee rise Triumph in the morrow's skies. Tiie days-is past, forever past ! The dews of night are falling fast, And pensively the evening star Illumes the azure vault afar. How beautiful the twilight scene ! While darkness shrouds tho vales serene, Around the hill's high summit play Bright sunbeams lingering on their way. Fair Nature, like a weary child, No more by sportive day beguiled, Rejoicing, welcomes night and rest, And ^lumbers on the green earth's breast. Ye busy cores of life, retire; Ye sordid aims of low desire, Give me 6oine calm, some pure retreat For prayer and contemplation meet. The days is past forever?how Comes back its swelling mci.ory now? l>ocs gladness crown each by-gone hour? Or silent shame and grief o'erpower ? O why, my soul, those rising tears ? "Why dim my eye these starting tears? Alas! tho monitor within Reminds of unbelief and sin ; Of idle words, of misspent time,? In God's pure eyes no trifling crime,? Of xcnnrTrinrr > ?** 1 11/* J * mT> ??*wu6,,vc? vl ,uin Ult*rtlU>, And folly's worthless hopes aiul schemes. O would that every coming eve, Sweet setting sun with me might leave A purer, calmer, holier breast, Aud brighter hopes of heavenly rest! And as j-on clouds, that cluster now j Around the western mountain's brow, Arrayed themselves in golden light, Reflected from thy image bright; So from the crosii where Jesus died, "Whence glory flows an endless tide, Many rich beams my 6oul illume, And guild the night that shronds the tomb. MISCELLANY. To Prevent Apples from being Wormy. Tho apple worm, which is so prevalent in this part of the country, without doubt is produced by a moth or miller, which deposits its eggs in the calynx of the apple wilen it is very small. (When I speak of apple worms I do not mean those caterpillars which infest our apple trees.) The eggs soon become worms, and gnaw holes in the apples, where they feast themselves all summer and sometimes nearly all winter. I need not spend time to describe these worms, for over)' man that has eaten wormy apples knows very well what they are. I suppose these worms turn to millers in the spring or fore part of the summer, and deposit their eggs on the young apples the same as the previous year. The damage done to apples every year amounts to a great sum. Many of the apples that remain on the trees till fall will not keep more than three weeks after they are picked. Every fruit culturist knows that fruit will keep but a short time after the skin is broken, so as to let in the air. Having been troubled with wormy apples for the lust fifteen years, I thought I would iry an experiment on one tree this season, to sec if I could not stop these marauders * in their wild career. I took a half dozen quart beer bottles and filled each half full of sweetened water; I then suspended them from the branches of a tree in the following manner: I tied leather straps threefourths of an inch wide around the branches to prevent them from being girdled ; to these leather straps I tied hemp strings, to ? which I attached the bottles, leaving tbem open to allow the millers to enter. I let the bottles remain in this situation five or six weeks, and on taking them down and emptying them, found the millera had entered in'^great numbers and were drowned in the liquid. In one bottle I counted fifteen, in another forty, and so on. The tree thus treated produced fourteen bushels of large, fair apples, while the fruit on the trees not experimented upon was wormy. "Whether the remedy produced all the difference or not, I will not pretend to say, but I hODfl snmp fruit * _t v..m? vwiuiui win do enterpnsing enough to try the experiment nextsum* mer, and report, their, success to the editor of this or some other "paper. Another method that F would recom . ft, mend for destroying th&e millers that produced the apple worms, is to take shavings of straw and light fires in the orchard in the evening in the month of June. As soon as the millehi see the light,' they will fly towards it and "begonsumed in the flames. Millions may^W' destroyed every,reason in this Way. Eliim Cross, Hoosic, Kensselaer oo., VN.

A gentleman, returned from Maine, speaks lis follows of the contrivances restored to for the purpose of evading the Maine Law : "These are various^ anil some of them < uri- C ousenough. In I'ortlamI, the seized liquors :ire stored in the olflPlock-up connected with the police ofliee. ' I visited this place as a 1 matter of curiosity. It was amusing to see the plans adopted to smuggle liquors into * the State. I saw three milk cans which ^ were packed in a trunk, full of the coveted beverage. A forty-gallon barrel was packed in a hogshead of sugar. After it was seized the owner made urgent request that the sugar should he restored to him, whic h ? was refused. A ten-gallon keg was packed j iu a barrel of Indian meal: another in a barrel of corn; another in a barrel of sawdust. I saw eight ten-gallon kegs packed in four large boxes like merchandise ; several large, well-made trunks were seized, con- ( taming jugs and demijohns fulf of the "critter." 1 saw a forty-gallon barrel which < was found burierd in Portland, to be drawn 1 from as occasions should require. A few , days since, a man from (he Emerald I.-le , went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and . purchased a full load of liquors. The fact became known, and Mayor Dow directed two or three police officers to keep a strict < w atch and seize the entire load. Before the I man reached Portland, the police officers of Biddoford, Maine, got on to his track, and when he saw he was about being arrested, he stove in the heads of all his, casks and 1 made mother earth drink all his precious stores.'' Sale Day.?The large amount of land 1 and personal property advertised for sale by the Sheriff and Commissioner in Equity, brought an unusual attendance of persons to the Court House on sale day. Anion*; the property disposed of were pleasant building and farming tracts, as well as personal effects. The land realized prices' which show steady enhancement in real es- j tate. But the figures commanded by negroes were matters of astonishment to all, as the following schedule will prove: Woman and 2 children Si, 135; boy of 1 JiSOl r.f ft SilOK. 1_r girl of 8 ?795 ; girl nf fl ?895 ; woman ?502; woman of 45 ?400; girl of 12 ?705; woman and 2 children ?1,500; boy r>f 6 ?481 ; bov of 10 ?731 ; boy of 10 *620; man of 25 ?1,065; man of 18,! blacksmith, ?1,380; man of 40 ?051 ; man of 50^460 ; man of 20 ?990; woman and | 2 children ?1,220; woman of 17 ?1,000.

Reeder, of Kansas, i referred to by (olograph on Wednesday, is confirmed. The parties met at Westport, Missouri ; Gen. Stringfellow demanded from Gov. Reeder a retraction of charges or imputations made against him by tlic latter, in some one of his eastern speeches. Gov.
