ANGELS GUARD the SAINTED DEAD.
BY CHARLES WILLIAM BUTLER.
Angel, gimrd the mum d iletd !

With tin blue ky overhend,
And lite breinli ul God'a free nir,
Let theni rest where li jht und sh-ide
And eunh'a chnnyes come nud go
Tiiuy huve seen its visions fade
They have lull its pomp nnd show.
Angels tfinrd the sninted dead !
Not alone Iroin heavenly skies,
Bui the souls they c unfurled
In this world uf sacrifice
(innelul hands pluut willows there;
Ihids that spring lime gnve. shall bloom,
And iliesuuiiuer noun tide luir
Cilorilics their peaceful tomb.
Angels guard the sainted dead 1
Memory loves to view the spot
Where their living presence shed
Ulc ssiugs on our eurlhly lot.
Then the yruves wherein they resl
ihtill no more the spiiit view
From the mansions ul the blest
Ulenui the luces old und true !
Angels guard the sainted dead !
This thu voice that sounds for aye,
When our tears of grief are shed
O'er earth's loved ones passed awny !
This with time nor chtini'e departs;
UlL-Sfod the dying with tho Lord !
Blessed nre they who leave on heart!
Love's eternul written word.
Angels guard the sainted dead !
Then the deep Cimmerian gtoomi
Cannot fill our souls w ith dread ;
Thero are watchers round tho tombs !
And they beckon us to conic,
When the chilling death wind blows;
When we make our journey home.
They will guard our sweet repose !

A merchant Imd n dispute wit It a Qua

Ucsirous to mke a last i-lfoil, the Qua
ker o;illeii at bis house one mornliit;, anil
iiKitiired of the serviuil if Iiis master whs
at home. The merchant bearing the in
quiry, and knowing bis voice, called out
Irom the top ol the stairs 111 a iouj voice ;
"Tell the rascal 1 am no.t at home,
The Quaker, looking up to liiin, calmly
remai Ketl .
'Well friend. God put thee in a better
disposition."
TIih merchant, struck afterwards with
the nievkniss of the reply, and having
more deliberately investigated the m ilter,
became convinced that the Quaker was
right, and aller acknowledging his error,
he said :
"I have one question to ask you. How
were you able with such patience, on va
rious occasions, lo bear my abuse ?"
"Friend," replied the Quaker, "I will
tell thee I was naturally as hot and
violent as thou art. I knew tbnt to in
dulge this was sinful ; and I found it was
imprudent. I observed thai men in a
passion always spoke loud ; and 1 thought
if I could control my voice I should re
press my passion. I have theielore made
it a rule never lo let my voice rise above
a certain key ; and by a careful observ
ance of Ibis rule, I have, by the blessing
of God, entirely mastered uiy natural
temper."
The Qiirker reasoned philosophically,
and the merchant, as every one else may
do, benefited by his example.

Deacon W, was a slain and honest
Itiptist deacon in one of the interior towns

who was inclined to be a little uly when

especially, John was a source of constant
annoyance to the teacher.
One day the mistress punished him fori
some misdemeanor, anil John went home
crying, and told his lather thai the mis
tress had whipped htm.
"What !" exclaimed ihe deacon, eleva

"Va-a-s," sobbed John.

went home he went lo his father, crying :
"Well, dud, I got an awful bad lickiu

"What !" said the old dcacn."did you

"Aha !" chuckled the liumerous old

John began to have some perception of

How to Save Blossoms from Blight.
lu this latitude it is well known by
pomologisis) that as soon as the frost is
out of the ground in the spring, the sap
begins lo ascend into the body ami limbs
of trees ; the buds swell, the leaves start,
and the blossoms soon appear. And it is
well known, too, in some seasons ihe buds
are much damaged, or the blossoms are
entirely blighted by the severe cold and
frosty nights that follow. I n conversation
recenlly with a practical potcologist, who
has been eminently successlul 111 raising
nil kinds of fruit particularly plumbs,
peaches and cherries he inlormed me
that the great secret of his success was, in
keeping the frosl in the ground until the
dangeruus nights hi.d passed, by early
spreading over ihe surface of the ground,
above the roots, of sufficient depth, straw
manure, or any kind o' compost ; lliat in
some seasons he had seen his neighbors'
trees in full bloom, even before he re
moved his surface covering, and ihe result
pioved that while not uiilrequently the
Irosiy nights were fatal 10 his neighbors'
cro,;s, his own trees, blossoming out late,
were always sure lo yield him au abun
dant harvest.

ihe age of the greal Ciililoinia tree in the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham, at about six
thousand four hundred and tight years !
Ii must have been planted, according 10
that, when Adam was a very small baby,
il not belore. The same writer reiers lo
another California trve, which must be at
least seven thousand one hundred and
twenty-eight years old. Ihe method in
which the compulation was made is thus :
the writer leok two peices ol the wood ol
the tree, one of the heart and another of
the sapwood, aboul an inch square each,
and he counted the concentric layers,
which are supposed lo indicate ihe annual!
growth. In ihe heart woid lie lound loriy
live layers lo the inch, and in the sap
wood twenty one ; and as the tree is
fourteen feet in diameter, ten of heart and
four of sap, the result was easily obtain
ed. The second tree spoken of was thirty -niue

The House of tub Son. I liken the
human body to a house. The big bones
are the main timbers. The ribs are laths,
well plastered or rather rafters, that run
into the ridge-pole, or backboue. The
mouth is lliu door, and ihe nose is the
chimney especially for smokers. The
throat is the entry, lhal leads to the
kitchen of the stomach, where all sorts of
food are cooked. The lungs are bellows,
that blow ihe flame of life, and keep the
pot of existence always boiling ; but the
heart is the great chamber.where a great
variety ol goods are slorec ; some good
more middling ; many bad. My hearers,
if you have any rubbish iu that chamber,
clear it out, and make room lor goods
which are salable in the markets of the
Virtuous. The chambers of seme hearts
present an awful dirty appearance. Take
the bran-new broom of Decision brush
out the dirt of Sin, and sand the floor
