THE THRIFTY FARMER'S SONG.
ON THE APPROACH OF WINTER
Cold winter dr.iws near,
I! lit I euro not Tor thul.
Jlly potatoes nre dug.
And my hogs ore all fnt;
Sly ol is all up.
And my apples are in,
Ami my wheal's in the bnm,
Aud tny corn's in the bin.
lly hny's in the mow,
And my hor.es lie low,
Aud 1 have nothing to fear,
From the frost or theanowj
Tin ready, cold winter,
So come when-you please,
And let down your white sheets
O'er lulls and the trees.
B'ow, blow, howling horeas,
Wild o'er the hills,
And pile up the snow drifts,
And freeze up the rills;
1 care not how rudely
You rave through ihe trees)
I'm ready, cold winter,
So come when you please.
The poor mny all tremble,
The ahiflltnoi; fear,
And dread dreary winter's
Cold dreary career;
But as for myself,
I can sit at my ease,
AnJ sing winter, cold winter,
Just come when you ple.'.se.

STATIONS.
There's a sllation ahead,' we heard a pret
tvcirl lisn the other day in the curs, and we
liiiiuuh'. there was more in il 'ban at first an
peared, and somewhat leisurly turned it over
in our mimi.
i)n the whole road of life, from its slartin
point to its end from the eradla to she tomb.
there are 'stations,' though we pause but lit
tie at them The locomotive whirling on the
track of life cannot be stayed. In hn ten let
ters. is on its dusky side bears ils name on
ward, aud well sustains it. No pause, no
atop, no hinderance, but ever swift as the
lightning it speeus towarus me -ue an ami
end all' of life Fresh, perfect and beiutifal
from the hands of the Master Workman, it
Elans il on ils cour.e and whir's swiftly
away; hut over what Itact, or what country
time alone can tell.
Two angles (says an original proverb) are
Ihe engineers; one to keep ilsafe and tin
broken, and the other to lure it to collision
and wreck; and there are two brsku'eu on
hoard, one called Sickncts end the other
Death I Swiftly il stars the heart beals high
with youth and health, '.he blood dances mer
rily in the veins like an unbridled courser it
epeed away, away into the future.
Uut there is aa'aiioti not far distant. One
that looms ever before the vision in day nnd
throws in brilliant light atliwart the track in
the hours when dreams have power. One
upon which we keep our eye fixed steadily,
unswerving, and which we long to reach
'long until the minutes seem hours, nnd the
hours years.' It is the golden station of
twknty-onk. We near il (ulas too soon, ) the
whistle is sounded, the bell .ung, nnd lo! even
as we reached it it is going past gone for
evei I Even more swiftly than we wished
its coming, it is lost in the distance and man
fio d throws i's station-light over the track.
Thiiatsn is reached, even while we ara look
ing buck upon the glerous flag of the one we
have passed, and the harsh scream of the life
engine awakes us from a pleasant dream.
Yet fain would we linger htre if we coiud.
Hut the fire burns high the wheels turn more
rapidly, and in the distance we behold, with
sinking hearts, the final station of the cheer
less tomb.
Way stations they are i:i the heart prosper
ity, sorrow, love, despair, all are dolled upon
the Map ol your life road, serving perchance
to supply more fuel lo the already brightly
burning (lame. Hut rocket-like we pass them
her signal light flash like firc-ilies in the gloom
and re lost. A thought or two-a memory
and a hope we may bear with us, but that is
all that remains as we whirl on, while the
honrt sncine is bcnliiiK rapidly.
And thus we pass ftoin the depot of life to
Its final resting place little thinking perchance
we are so rapidly rearing it. Hut that some
heart engine 'slows.' Tile brakes of age and
disease press heavily upon tne wheel the
bloodstream throbs less forcibly as il we Were
near the end of our tourney. Slower and
alower still we go, until we scatcely move-
Then a faint low whislli is Heard lite colli
light of the station of Death shine upon us
and we atop I it is tne lasi s'.niinn oi tarin.
But there is another track beyond. A no' her?
Yes, a track unending ant! ever beginning
- ever rolling on, engineered by LoveoiulHe
ligton, but without brakemen, for these are
useless there. Aye, there is a station ahead,
ever fiom the time of our starting, and from
the time of ourslnrting, and tho' all may not
rench 'twentv-one,' or 'Manhood,' or 'Old
Aee.' vet the Screaming heart-whistle will
truly tell them tliey have slopped at that of
Ueatbl Let tne angei mai seis oui io weep
when midnignt comes; and the angel on the
1011 have noUL'tll OI evil 10 recnm gaiui u,
So shall our life track be smooth and safe,
and our hearts beat with joy and not with fear
when the life car nears the station ol ueatli,
and iwitcted off into Eternity.
ICTlt has been observed with much signifi
couce, that every morning we enter upon
pew day, carrying still an unknown future in
its bosom. How pregnant and stirrinc there
flection I Thoughts may be born to-day which
may never be extinguished I Hope mat be
excited to day which may never expire ! Acts
may be performed to day the consequences ol
which may not be realized until eternity !
These are sublime and solemn thoughts worthy
pf being deeply impressed on every mind.
(tjr Let him who gropes painfully in dark
ness or uncertain light, and prays vehemently
that the dawn may ripen into day, lay this
other precept well to the heart, which to me
was of valuable service r Do the duly which
lies nearest thee, which thou knowesl to be
duly; thy second duty will already have be

In Debt and out of Debt.
Douglas Jerrold has given the most empiric
and laithful picture of n man in debt that we
ever rend. It is worthy of perusal and re-
memhranre by fill:
"Of what n hideous prngency or ill is debt
the father! What meanness, what invasion
f self respect, wht carea, what double
lealingsl How, in due season, it will carve
the (rnnli, open face into wrinkles: hew like
k'life 'twill stab the honest heart! And
then its transformations ! How il has been
known to chante a goodly face into a mask
of brass; how, with the cursed custom of debt
has the true man became a callous trickster !
A freedom Irjin debt, anil what nourishing
sweetness may be found in cold water; what
toothsnmcness mi a dry crust; what ambrosial
nourishment in a hard egg And then for
raiment, what warmth in a threadbare coal,
if the tailor's receipt be in your pocket!
What Tyrian purple in the faded waistcoat;
how glossy the well worn hat, if it cover not
the aching head of a debtor! Next, home
weets, Ihe out-door recreation of the free
man. The stieet door knocks falls not a
k nt 1 1 on his htait, the foot o:i the a'.aircase,
though he lives on the third pair, sends no
spasms through his anatomy at the rap? at his
ooor, he can cry 'come in,' nnd his pulse still
beat healthfully, bis heart sink not in his
bowels. How confidently yet how pleasantly
he lakes the street, how he returns look fo'
look willi nny passenger; how he saiinitis;
how, meeting an acquaintance, he stands and
gossips! The man out of debt, though with
a Haw in his jerkin, a crack in his shoe leath
er, a d a hole in his hat, is still a son of lib
erty, free as the singing Ir.rk fcbove him; but
the debtor, though clothed in the almost bra
very, what is he but a self out on holyduy a
slave to be reclaimed at any instant by his
ow ner, the creditor ! My son, if pour, see
wine in the running spring, let thy month
water at Inrt week's roll, 'kink a threadbare
cont tho "onlvwinr:" nnd acknowledge a
whitewashed garret the fittest Iioumiik place
forguitlemiin; do this and flee debt. So shall
thy heart be at peace and the .sheriff be con
fojilded.
Home Love.

Home love has a sweet poetry of ils owp

haunting, mor or less, the sccrtt recesses ol

Home Love. Departed Loved Ones.
It is infinitely better to mourn the loss cf
a good, than never to have known it. Uive
me friends even ihotigh I niu;t sea t Iiem psss

stirred within me, though t!-8 cj;?ct t!:r.t es-

tl.ey die, Iheir memory does not perish. That
blooms ilcrnnlly. In their inllutiists on ns,
in the memory of their love, i:i ihe adutira-
tion of virtues, the blessings of our friends
can nererdie.
A thing of beauty is joy forever." And
this holds with peculiar force in the case
children. The woman who has known the
rapture of pure maternal love, is a greater
and a n bier being for it. There were capac
ities of hers-ul, affections of her nature, ol
whose existence she was befoie scarcely con
