Llko tlio swoot snow-drops ’mid Its sheltering
loaves,
So lay my babo wllldn Its crsdlo bed;
Ita llttlo hands wero folded on Its breast,
And calm as angel’s brow Its quiet sloop;
Ono tiny foot from ’nonth the mantle’s (bids
Had strayed, all stainless from tho dqst of
onrth.
I hushed tho song that hung upon my lips,
For voico llko mlno wrought no such blest re-
poso.
But Music, such as cherubs chant In Hcavon,
Had lullod tho sliimbcror In tho arms of poaco,/
I bent mo o’or tho couch of this swcot babo,
And all tho gushing toudomess of love
Como swelling up frbm my Ibnd-hnppy heart;
A. tOother's pangs w : ero all lbrgotten then,
AU lost In tho o’orwholmlng tldo of lovo.
Just thon tho babo awolto, and turned Its soft
Blno oyes up to my own, and smiled. It was
Hls flrst bright smtlo, and to my spiritsoomed
Like Heaven's blessing on tho holy bond.
Oh! thcro nro moments hi this fleeting MAT
When every pulso beats lovo, and tho soft air
Is full of fragrance from a purer cllmo.
And then liow sweet It is to pray—far better
Than to pratso—that is tho voico of gladness;
But tho deepest joy doth vent ItsclCln prayor—
And tilts my o’or fraught heart tbund sweet
reliofi
0 Qod! I thank tlloo for Hits proclous gift;
Oh! nrako mo puro, my. spirit fresh baptize,
That I may guard iny precious treasure well,
Nor dim Us brlghtnois by a breath of sin;
But, with a sleepless vigil in this world
Of guilt, bo fliitlifril to tho holy trust
And bear It back to tlico when thou slralt call
A polished jewel for my Maker’s crown. . ,

The way she turned him.
Tho most bigoted and unreasonable party
man ever mot with was Jack D., now a pros
perous, and iuthumUal Attorney in S. county
in this Stato.
~ At the hour of which I am writing, ho. was
a red hot democrat, and* his chief pleasures
seemed to consist iu making tho fact as notor
ious as possiblo to tho world. Such was Jack
D., at the same timo of our story, acknow
ledged on every sido as a firm nnd iucorrupti-
blo democrat. But alas! lot us however, not
anticipate—but to our story.
One unlucky day Jack mot at tho houso of
a friend, a young lady of grunt personal beau
ty and accomplishments, 5 attracted by her
loveliness, and captivated by her intelligence,
ho bccumo assiduous in attention, forgot his
‘principles,’ and without onouiring,.what.

love,’ imprudently proposed, was accepted,
und thoy were married.
Tho wedding was over, tho guest had do-
jMirted uud they hud retired to their chamber,
and wero snugly ensconced in bed, when
Jack, in tho course-of a quiet conversation
with Ids wife, unwittingly alluded to Ids fa
vorite subject, casually speaking of himself
as being a democrat. *
What I’ exclaimed she turning suddenly to
wards hijn, ‘arc you a democrat 1’
Yes, madam,’ replied Juok, dulighted|with
tho idea of having a patient listener to his
long restrained oratory. Yes madam, I am
a democrat, attached ^do tho principles of tho
great progressive party; a regular out and
outer ‘double-dyed and twisted in the wool.’
‘Just double and twist yourself- out of this
bed then,’ interrupted his wife. ‘Iamiiwhig.l
am, and I will nover sleep with any man pro
fessing the abominable doct^MMigudo.'
mnm ^,«cciiiy otnaze
mont. That tho very wlfu of his bosom
should provo a traitor was horrible; slio
must bo jesting. Ho remonstrated; In vain,
tried persuasion,,Rivas usdloss, entreaty, ’tivas
no go. Sliu was in sober earnest, and tho on
ly alternative lottliim was a prompt renun
ciation of his heresy, or a separate bed in
another room. Jack did not hesitate. To
.abjure tho groat and established dietrlncs of
ids party, to renounce Ids allegiance to that
faith that had bccomo identified with hls ve
ry being, to tho more whim and caprice of a
woman was utterly ridiculous nnd absurd, nnd
lio throw himself from tho bed prepared to
quit tho room,
As ho was leaving tho door his wife scream-
oil'out to him, ‘I say, my dear, whon yon re
cant your lioresy and repent yonr past errors,
just knock at my door, and pot haps I will lot
you in.’
The door was violently slnmmod, nnd Jack
proceeded wrathfully in quest of auotlicr
nPttrteaflg uijuueu nifpiny; ninrn~nrnmrn—
viction that ho was n martyr in tlio ’right
cause,’ strengthened ills prido, and ho re
solved to hold out until ho forced liis wife in
to a capitulation.
In tlio morning slio inct him ns if nothing
had happened, but when Jack ventured to
allude to tlio rupture of tlio night previous,
thoro was a ’laugiiingdovil’ in lior eyes which
bespoke her power, nnd extinguished hopo.—
A second timo lie repaired to his lonely couch,
nnd a second time ho called up ids prido to
support him In tho strngglo which ho how
found was g6tting desperate.
Tlio second day was a repetition cf tho
first, ho allusion was made to tho forbidden
subject, on clthor sido. Thcro was n look of
quiet happiness and cheerfulness about hls
wife, that puzzled Jack sorely, and ho tbit tlmt
all idea of forcing her into a surrender must
bo abandoned.’
A third night ho was nloho with his
thoughts. Hts reflections wore more serious
and composed than on tho previous night,
What they wore, of course, were known to

I removed to Florida from tho Piedmont
region of Virginia, which Is tho best grass
and grazing portion of tho State, and brought
with mo the best varieties of grass seed.. But
I wns unsuccessful in all the experiments that
I mndo, and was driven to tho conclusion that
