But ith a thought of love, a smile,, word God's wisdom, formed the jewels that he sought Each one a world-the Temple, then, how vast! We understand quite a number ot ur most enterprising farmers have already commenced plowing. A little early gentlemen, but better ear ly than late. The wheat crap throughout the county looks well and promises to give a big yield this year. This will give our farmers who have been for tuiate enough to sow a crop early money.

There is nothing that pays so well The age had grown grer, while bounties space Shone brighter every hour, with added suns: And still uncheered bv lieht, were depths profound Where curious Seraph near had winged his flight Or fallen spirit, dared to hnd his war. Called trom this void unknown, by voice divine, Earth into being sprang a lurid glob Ot liquid heat a wavelets sea ot death Where raylass gloom, and silence, held their throne. Silence so deep, no whisper of lisjbt breeze No murmer of blue water, no soft strain, Ot music wartad from soma far off world 'er tippled o'er its breast; a soundless ea Waiting; God's vaice, to bid its billows wake. And now that voice adawn the stillness flaats Sweeter than angels' harp "Let there be light." The darkness speeds away to outer space And light rejoices o'er the new born warld. Again He speaks, and light-winged Zephyr's come From the calm waters lift the clinging j mists And bear them upward to the blue ex panse. To longer silence reigns. The unchain ed wave, Rear their bright cresU, and call unto the wind And the winds answer back in lovous shouts. Anon they sink to rest in murmurs low And whisper softly through their echoing caves, Or, w.ien the starm wind rushes madly bv And lightnings read the air, and Ihua- ders burst They wildly lash the meeting heavens. and roll With awful raar, around the treaabling globe. j Two dars had passed, unmeasured by a ! sun Two slay of weadrous work, from eve ta morn, While bendin; o'er tha scene, the cir cling skies Smiled calmly dawn, upaa a shoreless sea. ..-'." Then spake The Word again, and from its depths Tbe hills obadient rose! peaks Bur.t front their watery stretching shore Rolled back the smitten surge- from their feet Till want the mandate forth tnat set their bound Jio farther go hore shall Tour pride be stayed Soon otr the naked earth, a beauteous rob Ot verdura, jewelled with rich flower, waa thrown. Tall cedars waved their heads on barren eliffa Aad in the dewy rales, the giant fern Fringed the bright stream rejoicing bv: Rejoicing, hasted to salute her king, ! And ocean bowed his crested head, and smiled E're long, night shadows chased away the day, When lo! came forth the moon, in brieht array To greet the new-throned monarch on her brow A diadem, and round her steps the guard Of mvraid stars, proclaimed her Queen of Night. Another day dawned bright and fair; and when The sun rusumed his sway, and trom his throne Showered golden beams upon tne wak ening earth; At once, from forest shades, and bloom ing bowers, From hill and dale, burst forth a chorus loud, From thousand tiny throats. Up from the grass The joyous lark rose circling to the sun. The tairy bird of Paradise, the birds af nigh. The soaring eagle and the timid dove With all the counties tenants of th air Called into being by that Voice of Power That morn the mrstery of life began. Ocean, through all its caverns heard the call ad sudden teemed with lite strange monsters plaved, Mid tossing billows, and in sunlit seas Bright creatures sported with the laugh ing waves. The sixth dav rose and with its dawn appeared A new creation, nobler still, than all The various habitants of sea and air, And perfect in their kind; la all their poweis Complete, and fitted for their dwelling place. Some gambolled o'er the hills in fearless 3v And some peered wonderiag from the sheltering shade. There was no pain, no defect, n decay- But fitness beauty, order, ruled, the whole, Aad God beheld His work, and "it was good!" But yet, amid them all He found I'ot one That knew the hand that formed it- Then once more The word omnipotent went forth ''Let us make mn In our own imase, pure, immortal, wi-e To know the evil, and to choose the good." He spake, and it was done. Man wake from dust A wondrous being moulded from the clay And re-bed in innocence and majesty. A mind to know, a will to execute A living spirit kindles by the bieath Ot life divine. A three told nature, his "A little lower than the angels, crowned With glory" only less thelr's. God's work Is finished, and behold, "'tis very gaod!" (Originally published in Clinton frm- ucral, Dec 1S74.) Secret-sors to C. S. WUKKI.ER ft. CO. DKAI.FHS IX IHlarclware, Kroce.aies, Iron. Steel.
