SOWING AND REAPING.
“ Reaping where you have not sown.”
We took occasion, one of the fine morn
ings oflasl week, to make an excursion be
yond the city limits, attracted hy the fresh
ness of the air, the cool crispyness of which
seemed to give new play to the Itttigs, and
anew gush to the blood. The blue sky a-
Itove had not yet put on the hazy dimness of
Indian summer, though the gossamer was
flitting away in the breeze, twisted and dis
torted by its rapid motion; and the lovely
hues which the forest had lately worn, its
vanegated garments ofautumnal beauty were
fading into sober brown, and theleaves were
pouring down from the trees, shaken by the
wind, and crisped and curled by thesun, till
the stem could no longer bold them to the
branch.
It was a day for a poet —we are none—
and so we thought of poor Clark, and his
rich fancy, that seized on all these attractive
beauties of nature, combined them in song,
and gave them to the world—to that world
which learned to love nature from the love
liness of his verse. Clark is low: his foli
age was shaken from the branches before the
untumn storm had dimmed its beauty. It
fell while it was receiving and giving charms;
and we now, in the dryness of age, remem
ber the richness and lustre of his blossoms,
that shall bring forth fruit, where no tempest
deform the skies, and no autumn frosts with
er the herbage.
Pursuing this idea, we leaned against a
fence, and contemplated the brilliant, hut
fading scene around us, and startled as a
footstep denoted the approach of n man. It
was an old man. too; he had come across
the ploughed field, and seemed intent upon
the tender grain just slmoting up from the
mellow earth. We saluted him respectful
ly—age and usefulness should command res
pect. He returned our salutation with a
quiet courtesy, that induced conversation.
With the farmer, the talk about weather
is not a tnero gossip. He looks to the winds
and clouds, not to avoid labor, but to insure
success ; and the former and the latter rains
are to him blessings, likethc dew upon Her
mon, and the dew upon the mountains. So
we remarked that the weather had beet) re
markably fine during the present month
“Delightful, delightful,” said he, “delight
ful. The sun has shown out almost contin
ually, and the air has been healthful and
bracing. Now and then a cloud has gath
ered in the Heavens, but it scorned scarcely
large enough to cover the deep blue above,
that hung skirts, in lovely
contrast, like the eyeof infancy. And when
it has rained, it seemed so sparing and so
gentle, that the sun looked out upon the wa
ter drops before they bad been absorbed,
like the smiles of the same infant in the
inidst of tears.”
“ You have needed rain,then—more,per
haps, than you have had.”
“ The eatth has required much rain—it is
dry and parched—the grass has been burnt
out of the upland. But one of the worst ef
fects of the exceedingly dry weather in Sep
tember and October, is the difficulty of sow
ing our winter grain, and the still greater
difficulty of its taking root, and sprii:gin
up.”
“ That requires rain, then,” said we.
“Frequent showers; indeed, we ought
almost to scatter the seed in a shower, if we
hope to have much pleasure in reaping.”
“ Q,ue simenant in laclirymis, in exulta
tiones metent,” thought we rather aloud.
The man, when we looked up, was gaz
ing in our face.
“ Sow in teats and reap in joy,” said we
pointing to the field.
A sl'ght smile upon the face of the farm
er, faded away slowly into a thoughtful, me
lancholy look.
“I have indeed,” said he, “in this field,
sown in an abundance of tears. Whether
1 shall reap in joy—whether I shall share in
the glorious harvest, I know not.”
*• I trust you will, for many harvests,”
aaid we, “ hut has that come up which you
Sowed in the field !”
We both looked across the broad lot, till
oureyes rested upon a stone wall at a dis
tance, in the lower part of the field ; and
after a moment's pause our friend said—
“ All has not come up that I have sowed
here—sowed in tears, too, and sowed in
hope.”
“ The earth clods,” said we, “ Reern to be
strong and heavy; they probably prevent
the fulfilment of your hopes.”
” Yes, yes,” said our friend,lookingawav
again into the vale, and evidently speaking
to himself, rather than us ; “ the clods of
the valley do rest upon them. Will you
walk across the field !”
There was something so attractive in the
melancholy of the stranger, that we accept
ed his invitation.
Entering the lower part of the field by
another avenue, we found ourselves c lose to
the stone wall that we had noticed at a dis
tance, and we entered a narrow enclosure.
It was a family burying ground.
A few trees had grown up among the
long grass, and they were pouring down
their seared leaves upon the graves below.
My companion leaned over the headstone
of the principal grave, a id pointed to a
smaller one at its side.
“ The frost and wind,” said lie, “ that ate
stripping the trees above us, can scarcely
make them barer than I have been left.—
One after another they have dropped from
me, and the last, the hardest, because the
la*.”
A little hillock was swelling up, whose
ttewly laid sod told of the recency of the
poor man’s affliction—wife, child and mand
chiid.
“And these,” said he, “ I have planted in
tears. Beyond the wall, the grain which
my hand scatteied abroad, comes forward
to repay my toil, and 1 may reap in joy ; but
from this narrow field, nothing springs up,
aod I can never reap with joy what I have
planted with many tears.”
The dryness of the season, and tho mel
ancholy fall of the leaf, had evidently con
spired with recent affliction, to disturb the
philosophy of my companion, and 1 sought
to cheer him, but scarcely with effect; he
seemed to cling to the comparison of the
wheat.
“ The grain,” said we, “ which you reap,
is not that which you sow; the earth re
ceives the decaying seed, and gives back a
perfect harvest. And that which you have
deposited here, must be gathered in incor
ruption. and you can reap in joy only where
tears are unknown.”
“ I have, then,” said the stricken man,
“ set up my expectations of happiness on
earth! It was wrong, but unintentionally
wrong. My declining years should have
taught me other things. And 1 will, here
after, make my faith superior to my earthly
grief; and mark the signal,” said he, point
ing back to the slender shaft just raised at
St. Peter’s Church, “mark the beautiful sig--
rial. The beams of the declining sun are
reflected with lustre from yonder emblem,
where tbe gilded cross stands brilliant above
tbe globe, to show us how superior to the
earth is that faith which can sustain our in
firmities.”
“ There is, then, a hope,” said we, “ that
there will be a harvest in which you can
share with joy.”
He looked down upon thehillocks below,
for a time, and, then, raising his eyes till
they rested again upon the emblem, said,
“ 1 shall go to them—they shall not return
to me.”— U. S. Gazette.
The Dead. —There is perhaps, no feeling
of our nature so complicated, so vague, so
mysterious, as that with which we look upon
the cold rernainsof our fellow mortals. The
dignity with which death invests even the
meanest of victims, inspires us with an awe
no living creature can create. The mon
arch, on his throne is less awful than the
beggar in his shroud. The marble features,
the powerless hand, the stiffened limds, the
eye closed and glazed—oh ! who can con
templaate these with feelings which can he
defined ! These are the mockery of all our
hopes and fears—of our fondest love, and
of our fellest hate.
Sublime Extract. —lt is a terrible thought,
at an hour like this, to remember that no
thing can be forgotten. I have somewhere
read, that not an oath is uttered that does not
continue to vibrate throngh all time, in the
wide-spreading currents of sound—not a
prayer lisped, that its record is not also to be
found stamped on the laws of nature by the
indelible seal of the Almighty’s will.
