Oh, there's a power to make each hour
Ag sweet as Heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring ii, home,
Though feWtherebe that find it!
We see too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us ;
Por lift hath here no charms so dear
As home and friends around us !
Wc oft destroy the presen! joy
For future hopes—anel praise them ;
Whilst flowers so sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them ;
For things alar still Bweetttt are
When youth's bright spell hath bound us ;
But soon we're taught that earth Hath naught,
Like home and friends around us'i
Tlie friends that spend in time of need,
When Hope's last reed is shaken
To show us still, that come what will,
We are not emite forsaken :
Though ail was night, if but the light
From Friendship's altar crowns us,
Twonld prove tho bliss of earth was this—

J tiSTOBT OF THS Mkt.,ox.—The history of the water-melon, so much esteemed for its sweet, delicious, and cooling juice, as well as that ofthe musk-
■tnelou. or caatiieup, which is equally-prized-for its
rich aromatic pulp, may be traced lu remóte antiquity. The former, which is generally considered as
the melon ofthe Jews, mentioned in various places
in the Bible, is believed to have originated in Egypt,
or Southern India, where it has been cultivated from
time immemorial. It would appear that it wasun-
known to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, asno definite information respecting it can be gleaned from
their authors. The fnuskmelon, which was represented to have been a native of Asia, was known to
the Greek and Roman physicians, anel tta properties
and uses described by them at length.
The kind of musk melon most esteemed among
amateurs iu various parts of Europe, and described,
is the "Canteleup," so-called from a*place about
fourteen miles from Rome, the country seat of the
Pope, where this fruit has long been cultivated.
This variety is stated to have been brought thither
from that part of Armenia which borders on Persia,
Where it grows in the greatest perfection aud abundance. Tlie flesh of this melon, when fully matured, is delicious, aud maybe eaten with safety, without injury to the dyspeptic or those ofthe weakest
stomachs. The form of cantelcups is generally
roundish with a rough, warty, or netted outer rind,
or skin. The size of the plant is rather small, and
the flesh for the most part of a yellowish color,
though with some it is green.—[Patent Office lie-
port.	
Cranberries.
Wc have frequently, within the last two or three
years,-called attention to the importance and pro-
lit of cultivating the cranberry, and are glad to
know that agitation of the subject through the columns of the press has resulted in the greatly increased production of this healthy and palatable
fruit. Mr. John Carroll, whose farm is in the neigh
borhood of Long-a-Coming, Camden county, N. J.,
has planted out live acres of Jits upland with sets
gathered in the v.'ild state from the swamps, a portion of which are iu full bearing. They are planted in squares, one and a half by two feet apart, and
cultivated as corn and potatoes. The sets spread
very fast, and would soon cover the entire ground,
if they were not restrained by cultivation, which is
necessary, to prevent the ground from being hard
and baked. On marsh land, or on soil that retains
moisture without cultivation, they may be allowed
to ran into a compact mass, as they soon will, completely covering the ground anel forcing every
thing else out oí growth. Mr. Carroll's field is high,
and of a dry, sandy toil, and notwithstanding the
severe drouth, and only part ofhis patch at perfection, he supposes he will gather this fall at least
one hundred bushels of marketable berries—worth
from $300 to- $500. Cultivated cranberries are
greatly superior in flavor and quality to those
grown in a wild state, and consequently command
better prices. There are few farm products that
pay as well f'or the amount of labor required, as
that of tlie culture of cranberries, and wc are glad
to cronicle the fact of gradually increasing attention to the business.-—Philadelphia Ledger.
"Wa siting B titter with New Milk,
A writer in the Boston Cultivator, over the signature of " Many," says he finds in a French work
the following remark, and asks if any oue of the
butter-makers of this country have ever tried it.
and if so, with what result. The remark is as
follows :
" To procure good butter of an excellent flavor
and extreme delicacy, it must be washed finally
with new milk. The cream of the milk is incorporated with the butter, and communicates to it
its sweetness and delicacy."
The practice of washing baiter with new milk
is not new, or common only to France ; a large
trade is carried on in and about London, in very
choice fresh butter. The dealers purchase in the
country butter that has been salted but is otherwise
sweet, This is churned in sweet new milk, and
comes out in due time a very delicious article,
which is sold daily at a very high figure. It is a
■capital process for renovating old butter.
The Horn este ail Law.
There appears to be a very general feeling
throughout the press and the people of the State
against any repeal or alteration of this excellent
law. We are happy to see that the proposal to
reduce the amount allowed for a homestead from
■$5,000 to S2,500, meets with no favor thus far, in
the Legislature. This, of all times should be the
last to introduce such an innovation. When men
are harrassed and cannot realize hundreds for which
they have said thousands, and arc in daily fear of
their hard earned property being sold out by the
Sheriff for a song, it is the wrong time to talk of
depriving them and their families of their home
and turning them into the streets, in addition to
the loss of other earthly goods. No one who knows
the value of property in this city will pretend that
a comfortable home lor a family of any .size can be
procured for less than $5,000. If must be remembered in this connection, that California families
increase rather fast, and a man with a family oí
eight or ten persons would find poor accomodations
in a homestead.purchased for half that sum.
The position of the farmer would bo made still
worse by the change in the law. Reducing the
sum would be a niggardly operation, and be of no
earthly use to any oue but the miserable pettifoggers, who have already drawn so much of tlic life-
blood out of the country. No man need trust his
neighbor unless lie pleases, and as long as it is understood that the homestead cannot be touched, tlie
creditor kaows that he is not to trust upon the
strength of such property, any more than upon the
hat aud boots of the debtor. Wo cannot believe
that the attempt to go backwards in the march of
humanity and protection to the helpless, will be for
a moment countenanced by our legislators.—[Times

SETH AVOOIÍSUai'S  WIFBi
A3 Mr. Seth Woodsum was mowing one morning
in his lower*haying field, mid his olaest boo, Obediah, a smart boy ol' thirteen, was opening the mown
grass to the sun, Mr. Woodsum looked un towai-ds
tlie house, and beheld his little daughter Iliii'rtel..
ten years of age, running towards iiim with her
utmost speed. As she came up, he perceived die
was greatly agitated j tears were running down
her cheeks, and she had scarcely breath enough to
speak.
" O. father," she faintly articulated, " mother is
dreadful sick ; she's on tho bed, and says she shall
die before you get there."
Mr. Woodsum was a man of a sober, sound
mind, and calm nerves ; but he bad, what sometimes happens in this cold and loveless world of
ours, a tender attachment for his wife, which made
the message of the little girl fall upon his heart
like a dagger. He dropped his scythe and ran
with great haste to the house, Obediah, who was
at the other end of the field, seeing this unusual
'movement of his father, dropped his fork and ran
with all his might, and the two entered the house
almost at the same: time.
Mr. Woodsum hastened to the bedside, ami Book
his wife's hand. "My dear Sally," said he, "what
is the matter?'1
"What is the matter?" echoed Mrs. Woodsum,
with a plaintive groan. "I shouldn't think you
would need to ask what is the matter, Mr. Wood-
sum,    Don't you see I am dying ?"
" Why. no, Sally, you don't look as if you was
dying.    What is the matter ?    How do you feel ?"
"Ob, I shan't live till night," said Mrs. Wood-
sum, with a heavy sigh : "I am going iast."
Mr. Woodsum, without waiting to make further
inquiries, told Obediah to run and jump on to the
horse, and ride over after Doctor Fairfield, and
get him to come ovúr as quick as he could come.
■' Tell him I am afraid your mother is dying. If
the doctor's horse is away olí in the pasture, ask
him to take our horse and come right away over,
while you go and catch bis."
Obediah, with tears in his eyes, and his heart in
his month, flew as though he had wings added to
his feet, and in three minutes time was mounted
upon Old Grey, aud galloping with full speed
towards Dr. Fairfield's.
li My dear," said Mr. Woodsum, leaning his head
upon the pillow, " how do you feel ? What makes
you think you are dying?" And he tenderly kissed her forehead as he spoke, and pressed her hand
to his bosom.
" Oh, Seth," for she generally called him by his
Christian name, when uuder the influence of tender
emotions; "Oh, Seth, I feel dreadfully. I have
pains darting Qtfottgh my head, and most all over
me; and I feel dizzy, and can't hardly see; and
my heart beats as though it would come through
my side. And besides. Í feel as though I was
dying. I'm sure I can't live till night; and what
will become of my poor children?" ' And she-
sobbed heavily and burst into a flood of ¿ears.
Mr. Woodsum was afFected. He could not bring
himself to believe that his wife was in such immediate danger of dissolution as she seemed to apprehend. He thought she had no appearance of a
dying person ; but still her earnest aud positive
declaration, that she should not live through the !
day. sent a thrill through his veins, and a sinking
to his heart that no language has the power to
describe, Mr. Woodsum was as ignorant of medicine as a child ; he therefore did not attempt to do
anything to relieve his wife, except to try to soothe
her feelings by kiud and encouraging words, till
the doctor arrived. Tho half hour which elapsed,
from the time Obediah left till the doctor came,
seemed to Mr. Woodsum almost an age. He
repeatedly went from the bedside to the door, to
look and see if the doctorwas any where near, and
as often returned to hear his wife groan mid say
that she was sinking fast, and could not stand it
many minutes longer.
At length Doctor Fairfield rode up to the door,
on Mr. Woodsunrs Old Grey, aud with saddle-bags
in hand, hastened into the house. A brief examination cf the patient convinced him that it was a
decided case of hypochondria, and he soon spoke
encouraging words to her, and told her although
she was considerably unwell, lie did not doubt she
would be better in a little while.
" Oh, Doctor, how can you say so ?" said Mrs..
Woodsum ; " don't you see I am dying ? I can't
possibly live till night; I am sinking last, Doctor,
and I shall never see the sun rise again. My heart
sometimes almost stops its beating now, aud my
feet and hands are growing cold. But I must see
my dear children once more ; do let them come in
and bid me farewell." Here she was so over» helmed with sobs and tears as to prevent her saying more.
The Doctor having administered the drugs in
such case made and provided, is followed out by
Mr. Woodsum. all anxiety to learn the real danger
of the case. He is assured that it is only an attack
of hypochondria, and the good lady herself ere
long recovers. r
Again and again, however, is our friend Seth
summoned Irom his plow and the Doctor from his
pills, to administer consolation and relief in her
dying hour, and again and again does she recover.
We give below the story of
DEATH'S  LAST ASSAULT.
At last, the sober saddening days of Autumn
came on.    Mr. Woodsum was in the midst of his
fall work," which had been several times inter-
She paused and looked earnestly in his face.
"Well, I've sometimes thought of late, it might
be best," said Mr. Woodsum, with a very solemn
air.
r" Then you have been thinking about it," said
Mrs. "Woodsnm, witli a slight contraction of the
muscles ofthe face.
" Why, yes.'' said Mv. Woodsum, " I have  some-
times thought about it, since yon have bad Bgella
of being so very sick,   it makes me feel dreadfully
tú think of it, but I don't know but it might he my
duty."
" Well, I do think it would." said Mrs. Wooelstim.
"if you can only get the right sort of a person.
Everything depends upon that, my dear, and I hope
you will be very particular about who you get,
very."
" I certainly shall," said Mr. Woodsum ; " don't
give yourself any unegwoess about that, my dear,
fori assure you I shall be very particular. Tim
person I shall probably have is one of the kimiesl,
and best tempered women in the world."
"But have you been thinking of any ono ¡rj particular, my dear?" saidMrs. Woodsum,with amani-
fest look ofurtetwhresB.
" Why. ye*,"' said Mr. Woodsum. " there ¡s one,
that I have thought for some time past. 1 should
probably marry, ¡fit should be the will of Providence to take you from us."
" And pray, Mr. Woodsum, who can it be ?" said
the wife, with an expression, more of carib bhab
heaven returning to her eye. " Who is it. Mr. Wood-
sum?    You haven't named it to her, have you."
"Oh, by no means," said Mr. Woodsum; "but
my dear, we had better drop the subject: ii agitates you too much."
" But, Mr. Woodsum, you must tel! me who it is.
I never could die in peace till yon do."
"lt isa subject too painful to think about," sr..id
Mr. Woodsum, " and it don't appear to me it would
be best to call names."
"But I insist upon ¡t," said Mrs. Woodsum, who
had by this time raised herself up with great earnestness and was leaning on her elbow, while her
searching glance was residing every muscle in her
husband's face.   "Mr. Woodsum, Iinsistupoufc"
" Well, then," said Mr. Woodsum with asigli "If
you insist upon it, my dear—I have thought that if
it should he the will ot'Providcnce to take you from
us, to be here no more, I have thought 1 should
marrry for my second wife, Hannah Dovejoy."
An earthly fire once more flashed upon Mrs.
Woodsum's eyes—she leaped from the led like a
cat; walked across the room, and seated herself in
a chair.
" What!" she exclaimed, in a trembling voice almost choked with agitation—:! what! marry that
idle, sleepy slut of a Hannah Lovcjoy! Mr. Woodsnm, that ts too much for flesh and blood to bear—
I can't endure tbat, nor I won't. Hannah Lovejoy
to be the mother of my children! No, that's what
she never shall. So you may go to your j lowing,
Mr. Woodsum, and set your heart atrest. Susan,"
she continued, "make up more fire uuder that dinner pot."
Mr, Woodsnm went to the field, and pursued his
work, and when he returned at noon, he found dinner well prepared, and his wife ready todo the honors ofthe table. Mrs. Woodsum's health from that
day continued to improve, and she was never afterwards visited by the terrible affliction of hypochondria.—[Way down East, by Jack Downing.]

rupted by these periodical turns of despondency
in ins wife. One morning.he went to his held
early, for he had a heavy day's work to do, and
had engaged one*of his neighbors to come with
two yoke of oten and a plow to help him " break
up" an old mowing Held. His neighbor could
only help him that day, aud he was very anxious
to plow the whole field. He accordingly had left
the children and nurse in the house, with strict
charges to take good care of their mother. Mr.
Woodsum was driving tlie team and his neighbor
was holding the plow, and tilings went on to their
mind till about ten o'clock in the forenoon, when
little Harriet came running to the held, and told
her father that her mother was "c'readtul sick,"
and wanted him to come in as quick as he could,
for she was certainly dying now. Mr. Woodsum-,
without saying a word, drove his team to the erd
of the furrow ; hut he looked thoughtful and perplexed. Although he felt persuaded that her danger was imaginary, as it had always proved to be
before, still, the idea of the bare possibility that
this sickness might he mito death, pressed upon him
with such power, that lie laid down his goad-stick,
and telling his neighbor to let tho cattle breathe
awhile, walked deliberately towards the house. Before he had accomplished the whole distance, however, his own imagination had added such wings
to his speed, that he found himself moving af a
quick run. He entered the house, and found his
wife as he had so often found her before, in her own
estimation, almost ready to breathe her last. Her
voic-; was faint and low. and her pillow was wet
with tears. She had already taken her leave ofher
dear children, and waited only to exchange a few
parting words with her beloved husband. Mr.Wooel-
STim approached the bedside and took her hand tenderly, as he had ever been wont to do, but he could
not perceive any symptoms of approach ing dissolution, different from what he had witnessed on a
dozen former occasions.
"Mow, my dear," said Mrs. Woodsum faintly,
" the time has come at last. I feel that lam on my
death-bed, and have but a short tinielongertosftiy
with you. But I hope we shall feel resigned to tho
will of Heaven. I would go cheerfully, dear, if it
was not for my anxiety about you and the children.
Now. don't yon think, my dear," she continued.
wifh increasing tenderness, ''don't you think it

ISeautilul Incident
correspondent   of   the   Preston  (England)
Chronicle gives the following anecdote :—A good
while ago, a boy named Charlie had a large dog
which was very fond of water, and in hot weather
he used to swim across the river near which the
boy lived. One day the thought struck him that
it would be line fun to make tlie dog carry him
across the river, so he tied a string to the dog's
collar, and ran down with him to the water's edge,
where he took oft* all his clothes ; and then, holding hard by the dog's neck and the bit of string,
he went into the water and the dog pulled him
across. After playing about ou the other side for
sume lime, they returned in the way they had
come ; ljut when Charlie looked for lus clothes, he
could find nothing but his shoes. Tlie wind had
blown all the rest into the water. The éég saw
what had happened, mid making his little tuestes
let go the string, by making believe to bite him, hi
dashed into the river, aud brought out first his
coat, and then all the rest in succession. Charlie
dressed and went home iu his wet clothes, and luid
his mother what fan he and the dog had had. His
niotbor told him that hf> dirl yory wrong in groins
across the river as he had done, and that he mould
thank God for making the dog take him over and
back agaiu safely; for if tho dog had made him
let go in the river ho would most likely have sunk
ami been drowned. Little Charlie said, "Shall I
thank God now, mamma':'' and he kneeled down
at his mother's knee and thanked God : then, getting up again, he throw hU arms around his dog's-
neck, saying, "I thank you, too. dear doggie, lor
not letting go." Little Charlie* is now Admiral
Sir Charles Napier.
The above remindsu5 of another anecdote which
wo consider as strnngly illustrative of a child's
faith. Another '• little Charlie" of our acquaintance, when about ten years old, ou his way home
from school, took it into his head to cross a frozen
pond which lay but a short distance from his usual
path. When about two-thirds of the way across,
the ice gave way, and he was very near being
drowned. However, he mnmigeil to get out and
made his way home, where his appeasanoe of
course excited a gooel deal of remark. The' little
fellow related ins story, and ou being asked "if he
was not afraid when he was struggling iu the
water," replied, ''■ no, I asked God to take care of
me," well assured In his own mind that he had hut
to ask, iu order to receive.
Beautiful Extract.
A MWa wealth may be the fruit of noble energy
and honest toil, aud he may exert a wide influence
by virtue of that intrinsic ability of which his
good fortune is the sigu. Indeed, the more I study
the world the more I acquire a respect for these
kings of enterprise—Oiese heroes of practical effort
-—who. telling that they havo bean s.'nt into the
world to do something, do not fold theft» hands and
shut their eyes in ideal dreams, or stumble at &[$-
crcpancies, but lay hold of what lies about them—
rough stone, timber, iron, brass,—and become what
is really a noble compliment to say of any man—=
"tiie architects of their own fortune." I have
great respect for these men who drive the wheels,
and kindle the furnaces, and launch the ships, and
build the ediiieos. and keep this BBB of every-day
action perpetually agitated by the keels ot their
endeavor. Their claims to precedence however,
consist not In their wealth, but in that which accumulates the wealth. But the mau who merely
rests upon what he has, occupies no substantial!
ground of supremacy. And if this Is the case with
those whose claim hangs merely upon what they
are.worth in the world of money, it is at least
equally so with those thai Bet their title to preee*
deuce upon their style of dress or living. For
how uncertain are all these things; depending
upon tlie fickle currents of fortune ; throwing the
honors into our hands to-day, and transferring
them to our neighbor to-morrow! How tantalizing
this conflict, in which victory changes with tbe
fashion, and we feel weak or strong according to
the verdict of a clique! And all these rivalries
and envies and aspirations, what a eonlession of
personal feebleness they are! How slightly a true

his nature, and swings there as easily as a star !—

A TATEXT SJERMON".   B
Love the women—if not spoilt in the milking
up, you can't help it. The man. who does not hitve
thexeal love of the women inwrought in his very
bones, is fit for any and every spceies of meanness ;
his birth was a blunder, and he ought to be kicked

to hold squalling babies forever, Father Adam

her at once, so all his true children take to calico
as readily as an Irishman to a pick, or a dock to
water.
Take a little good advice- Slintf now—the creation ofthe milliner's shop is worthless, a cheat, a
counterfeit, made up of dry goods and whalekme,
and has more cotton than heart in her bosmn ¡ to
love such a specimen is a real calamity : better go
to your funeral than to have one of them. Nay.'

They Spin more yarn in tin» house than in the street,
and never carry their weitftjk like a snail, on their
backs. They never leave their own work undone at

not withhold the sympathies ofour common humanity from an erring sister, and at the same time
pet the he-devii who caused her to err. They do
not despise that labor which is the foundation of
wealth and honor. They respect, the aged, and never titter at their tottering steps or old fashioned
speech. They speak kindly to them, and joy to
