ONE BY ONE.
One by one tho sands are flowing,
One by one the momenta fall;
Some -ire coming, some are going,
Do not st fi ve to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Lot thy whole strength go to each ;
Let uo future dreams elate thee,
Learn tboi first what these can tench.
One by one (bright gifts from Heaven)
Joys are sent thec here below ;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go.
Ono by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band ;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at lire's long sorrow ;
See how small each moment's pain ;
God will help thee for to-morrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear!
Luminous the crown, and holy
If thou set amh gem with care-
Do not linger with regretting.
Or for passing hours despond ;
Nor. the daily toil forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, God's token.
Reaching heaven ; but one by ono
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.     t
The Loved ofOtiierYears.
BY WALLACE cHtUELLE.
When summer flowers arc weaving
Tlieir perfume-wreaths in air,
And the zephyr's wing**", receiving,
The love-gifts gently bear ;
Then memory's spirit, stealing,
Lifts up the veil she wears,
In all tbeir light revealing,
The loved of other years.
When Summer stars are shining
In the deep-blue midnight sky ;
And their brilliant rays, entwining,
Weave coronals on high ;
When the fountain's waves arc singing,
In tones night only hears?,
Then thoughts awaken, bringing
The loved of other years.
The flowers around me glowing;
The midnight stars pure gleam ;
The fountain's ceaseless flowing,
Recall lifes fondest die* ns.
When nil is bright in heaven.
And tranquil arc the spheres,
To thec sweet thoughts are given—
The loved of other years.

Orcliavtls,  Apples, and the "Blnv&ct.
" David. I am going to quit the ntirsury business.
Tn twenty-one years fruit will be a drug in New
York city. Why, everybody is setting out orchards.
Just look around thfs neighborhood! There is deacon Jones has just set out 500 trees ; Tom Smith,
400, aud bis brother Jim will have 1000 next spring.
and so on at that rate all over the country—grafted fruit, too, none of it for cider. Now what do
you suppose is to become of all tkese apples
tell yon what it is, David, v,-q must wind up the
nnrsniy business, or wo "-ball break flat. Everybody is going crazy about fruit. Every body wil!
grow it, but no body buy it, a few years hence."
This prognostication was made more than twenty
years ago by a sensible man engaged in propagating choice fruits for Sale in Central New York,
nnd no doubt the speaker honestly believed the
days of tho Dnrsnryman were well nigh numbered.
Brother David, however, was of a different opinion.
He did not believe it was so easy to overstock the
market witii such fruit as no other than American
soil and climate can produce. He did not believe
ere twenty years' time would elapse every body
would have an orchard, the products of wli ich would
be so unsaleable, and tho business so unprofitable,
. the owner could bave no desire to plant more or
better, or newer varieties of trees; consequently
he urged that the business should beperseveringly
continued until the dawning ofthe evil day was
more visible in the horizon.
What has been'the result? A sale &f 40,000 apple trees and 7,000 of other fruits during the planting season of last year, and the prospect for the
next equally good. The very men who had planted 500. have increased 1000, and some of them have
doubled that ten-fold ; and yet the market is now
better than it ever was before for all the choice
■varieties of the product of orchard, vineyard, or garden. The market is not yet glutted, nor can it be
while millions of mouths continually water for the
luscious fruits which contrast so advantageously
with the sour crabs i{ five to a pint/' which filled
the maeket twenty years ago. The market cannot
be glutted with such fruit as the Newton pippins,
Roxbury russets. Rhode* island greenings, Baldwins.
Belietleur, Swaar, Domiiie, and a great variety of
other excellent winter keepiug apples; wMle-the
■luxury-levin a: mouths of old England are'within
two weeks (we have done counting distance by
miles.) of tlie fruit bearing hills of New England.
Nay, not only all New England, hv,t the ever
bearing trees of the rich plains of that once far
away western wild, known in our boyhood as New
C'rnnecticut. But still the market is not glutted,
nor will it be, though all Ohio, Michigan. Indiana^
Illinois, and Wisconsin, shall pour in their grilflen
treasures of golden pippins from tlieir unbound"*!!1.
plains of the richest- fruit bearing land the world
ever saw, while that same world full, ofpeople possess th« taste they do now for choice, delicious fruits.
Our advice, therefore, is, as it has always been,
to every man who owns an acre of land—plant trees.
Don't be afraid of overstocking the market with
any kind of fruit, except such as your fathers used
to grow, and some you still perpetuate; because
the refined and improved taste of tho world demand, and will have, if it is procurable, the best
'that can be grown.—[Oswego Journal.
The Soldier sind the Man.
There are generous natures marshalled for mutual destruction in national wars, and the bloody
work of mutual destruction does not efface tlie feelings ofthe man. An English soldier describes below his feelings- in his lirst practice in the Crimea.
We know not where wehave read anything
more touching. It is credited to an
change paper, and the scene is laid at tiie landing
ofthe English troops. " There were,'' says he.
■' regular Russian troops on the bank who fired  on
ns as we pulled to land; But the , wli at with
the shell and what with the smoke, covered our land
ing. We dispersed at a few hundred yards distance
from the beach to keep the coast clear while the
boat's crew made prizes of the guns. Tlio enemy
had the advantage of the wood, and also knowing
the country well, and a troop of them showed in
advance. We were ordered to fire. I took steady
aim and tired on a man at about sixty yards. He
fell like a stone.
" At the same time a broadside from the wen
in among the trees and the enemy disappeared, wi
could scarce tell how. I felt as though I must go
up to him to see whether he was dead or alive. Ht
lay quite still, and I was more afraid of him lying
so'than when lacing me a few jnoments before. It
is a strange feeling to come over you all at once
that you have killed a man. He had unbottoucd
his jacket and was pressing his hand over the front
of his chest where the wound was. He breathed
hard, and the blood poured from his wound and from
his month every breath he took. His face white as
death, and his eyes looked so big and bright a3 he
turned them and stared at me ; I shall never forget
He was a fin'* young fellow, not more than five-
ami-twenty. I went down oa my knees beside him,
and my breast was si. full as though my heart would
burst. He had au English face, and did not iook
like an enemy. What I felt I never can tell, but il
my life would have saved hisl believe I won Id have
;n it. 1 laid my bead on my knee, and he grasped
hold of my hand and tried to speak, but his voioe
was gone. I could not tell a word he said, and every time he tried to speak 'he blood poured out so I
knew it would soon be over. I am not ashamed to
say that I was worse than be for he never shed a tear,
and I couldn't help it.    His eyes were closed when
a gun was-"red from the to order us abroad.
and that roused him. He pointed to the beach where
the boat was just pushing oil with tho guns we had
taken ami where our marines were waiting to man
the second boat, and then he pointed tothe wood
where the enemy were concealed. Poor fellow!
he little thought how T had shot him down. I was
wondering how I could leave him to die and no one
near him, when he had something like a convulsion
for a moment and then his face rolled over, and
without a sigh he was gone. I trust the Almighty
has received his soul. I laid his head gently dowh
on lhe grass aud left him. It seemed so strange
when Hooked on him for the last time. I somehow
thought of everything I had ever heard about the
Turks, and the Russians, and the rest of them ; but
all tliat seemed so fat off, and the dead man so near."

A Hungry C.vR]*].rr Bag.—The Buffalo Express
relates an amusing incident which occurred at Erie
n few days since. A gentleman left Cleveland for
New York at an early hour in the morning without
his breakfast, and being very hungry upon the ar-
val ofthe train at Erie entered the dining room
and placing his carpet bag upou a chair sat Anvil
beside it and commenced a valorous attack upon
the viands placed before him. By and by the proprietor ofthe establishment came around to'collect
fees, and upon reaching our friend, ejaculated.
Dollar. Sir!"
" A dollar!" responded the gentleman, "a dollar
—thought you only charged fifty cents a meal fbr
one—eh ?"
That's true," said Meanness." but I count your
carpet bag one, since it occupies a seat."
The table was far from being crowded. Our
friend expostulated, but the landlord insisted, and
the dollar was reluctantly brought forth, The
"andlord passed on. Our friend deliberately rose
and opened his carpet bag, full in its wide mouth,
discoursed unto it, saying, " Carpet bag, it seems
you're an indmdlnal—a human individual, since
you eat—at least Eve paid for you. and now you
must eat,"—upon which ba seized everything eat-
ble'withln his reach, nuts, raisins, apples, cakes,
pies, and amid the roars of the bystanders, the
delight of his brother passengers, and discomfiture
of the landlord, phlegmatically went and took his
scat in the cars. lie said he had provisions enough
to last him to New York, after a bountiful supply
had been served out in the cars. Thero was at
least $8 worth in the bag—upon which the landlord realized nothing in the way of profit. So
much for meanness.
A Cheat American War Stealer.—It will be
remembered that during the recent session of Cou
gress, several new steam fsigates were authorized.
They are all now in the course of contraction", and
the largest is tho Niagara, now being being built
under the supervision of Mr. George Steers, at the
New York navy yard. The actual dimensions of
this magnificent vessel are stated to be as follows :
Tonnage 5.2(50 ; extreme length on deck 315 feet:
load line 323 feet; evtremc breadth 55 feet; depth
of hole 31 feet; there arc aro three decks besides
the orlop. The armament will consist of twelve
11-inch pivot guns, to carry 175 pound shot and a
charge of 15 pounds of powder. She ie to be full
ship rigged, her main mast being 111 feet iongand
three feet four inches in diameter ; the main yard
will be 55 feet, and the mizzen spanker boom G7
feet. theNiagara is constructed wholly of live
oak, and the amount of material, exclusive of the
machinery and armament employed, is as follow

Washington's Letts****,. — George Washfngton
wrote the followin letter soon after the Constitution was made, and addressed it to the ''General
Committee of the United Baptist Churches in Virginia.''
Gentlemen — If I conld have entertained the
(lightest apprehension that the Constitution framed
by the convention where I bud the honor to preside
might possibly -endanger the religious rights of
any ecclesiastical .society, certainly I would never
have placed my signature to it; ami if I could oot
conceive that the general government might even
be so administered us to render the liberty of conscience insecure. I beg you will be persuaded that
no one would be more zealous than myselfto establish L'!]i:et!tal barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every spevles of religious persecution. For you doubtless remember I have often
expressed my sentitnentslhat any man conducting
himself as a good citizen, and, being accountable to
God alone for his religious opinions, ought to h
protected in worshiping the Deity according to the
dictates ofhis own conscience.
He again says-
"The fecfotn ef America is open to receive, not
aoly theopnlontavid respectable stranger, but the
Oppressed and persecuted of all nations and all re-
Ugions. whom we shall welcome to a participation
in all rights nnd pri-Tileges.'"

Ihe ftir nut. cold, though not piercing: hnwing,
though not bitting; just cold enough, in truth, to
ainuse lile and elasticity into every one that moved
There "was a little girl-a child of poverty, on
that .New Years morning—walking the street* with
the gav crowd that swept past her. Her little feet
had grown so nnmb. encased onlv in I hit! shoes »nd
those bad.y worn, that she could lyiWTfli difficulty
.move one before the othei Hf<clieeks shook at
-.very step sh^took.and-her lips looked truly purple
Alas! poor Elsie Gray!  She was a little beggar.
Just like the old Year was the new Year to ber.
Just l;k" the last year's wants, and last year's Bufferings, xveve the wants and sufibrings of this 1 The
change of the year brought no change in her condition with it. She was poor, her mother was a
widow and an invalid, and riie child was a poor
beggar.
Iu the old and cheerless room gleamed no bright
fires ol anniversary. No evergreens, no wreathe,
no flowers, save a few old withered ones, decked
her time stained walls. There was no sound ol
merry voices within the door, to sav to the Widow
Gray : "A Happy New Year to you 3tfjs. Gray."
Heaven seemed to have walled her and her abode
oat from the happiness that'was all the world's on'
that, festive day of the year. It had provided, to
all appearances, no congratulations, no laughter
no gifts, no (lowers for them. Why? Were tbey
outcasts? Had they outraged theii- claims on the
wide world's charity? Had thev voluntarily shut
themselves out from the sunlight of the living
creatures around them? No! Shame take the
world that it must be so answered for them ! Mrs.
Gray was poor!
Little Elsie stopped at times, and breathed her
hot breath upon her blue and benumbed lingers
and stamped her tiny feet in their caemeuts with
all the force left in them, and then big tears stood
trembling iu her large bine eyes for a moment, aud
rolled slowly dowfl her purple cheeks, as if they
would freeze to them. She had lelt tier mother in
bed, sick, exhausted and famishing ! What wonder
that she cried, even though those hot tears onlv
dripped on the cold pavement. They might as well
(all there as elsewhere; tlie main- human hearts
that passed her were full as icy and hardened.
She would have turned hack to go home had she
not thought again of Iit poor mother ; and she
went on, though where to go she knew not. She
was to becom a street beggar. Where should
street beggars go? What streets are laid out and
named and numbered for them? Surety, if n t
home, then where should they go? It'was thia
thought that brought those crystal tears, that startled those deep and irrepressible sobs that cheeked
her instant utterance.
A young ijoy—a bright looking little fellow-
chanced to pass her as she walked, and wept, and
sobbed, He naught the glitterof those tears iq tlie
sunshine, and the sight smote his angel-heart. He
knew not what want aud suffering were. He bad
never known them himself— never once iieard of
them—knew not even what a real beggar was, He
stopped suddenly before Elsie, and asked her the
cause of those tears. She could diake no replv- *
her heart was too full;
That niglit returned this ftngeWioy to the bleak
house filled with happiness, and lighted with jot ;
but he Wafl not alone—his mother wa- with him.—
Blessed boy I He passed the whole of New Year's
Day tn making others bappv. And how much
happier was ho himself 1 How his little heart
warmed and glowed to.see the child uncover tht
ba ket he had brought with trim, and take out one
by one, the gifts which were Rtowed there; and
llOW overjoyed was he to see his mother offer the
sick woman work and a new home, and to see tho*
sick worn m suddenly strong, aad almost well,
under (he influence of kind offloca, He wondered
if their happiness could possibly be as deep sis bia
own—if their New Year was as bright to them as
his was to him. He knew not how auy one could
be happier than he was at that moment.
Years have rolled away into the silent pas'-
That little girl—Elsie Gray—ia a lady. Not a lady
only in name, but one in very deed, In heart nn<i
conduct. She dwells in a suburban cottage, and
her husband is only devoted to ber. Tlie husband
is no other than the generous- boy who. on the New

Tiiey were bought with an iujplicd, if not an explicit
promise, that they should be paid for in a short
time, and the promise is broken, because the debtor
bas expended more fhau he has earned, and haa
made payment impossible. The creditor looted iu
vain for his pay. He regards Imn with wistlul eyei
every time he meets him, and wishes his goods back
again. He feels that he is unjustly treated, audh»
hai a right to feel so.
Such debtors are often ea-y, good natured souls,
kind hearted, companionable, moral, and dou't mean
to wrong anybody, but. we repeat, they are dishonest. They wrong their creditors, but do themselves
the greatest injury. For their character won becomes known/ U'heiber tbey know it or not, their
reputation soon becomes established as promiso

their operations are soon eircmnscrib: d to the precarious business of ' taking in strangers, unawares.'
Such a man's usefulness, as well as credit, soon
comes to an end. When men shrug their shoulders

Mother and child wept together. Then tiiey
talked of lhe good boy whose heart had opened for
them on this New Year's Day. Then they let their

They looked at the glistening piece. There was

of innocent tongues, and the laugh of gladsome
hem-Is.
Ah! what a philosipher-stons was thfft coin !■—
How it turned everything lirst into gold and then
into happiness ! How it grouped around Kiud and
cheerful friends, and filled their ears with kind
voices! How it garlanded all hours of that day
with evergree: s and full-blown roses! How it
spread them a laden table, and crowded it with
merry guests! Oh, what bright rays shone forlh
ironi that trilling coin of gold! Could it have been

lent its radiance to others. Could" it have shone

Begin to be honest, by keeping your prom 16-
es. and by refusing to contract new debts.    BxphtlQ
your circumstances fully to your creditors, ami set
to woi'k in earnest to repay what jou owe. But
never think ot paying your debts with promises, or
of promising what you can't perforin. Aen will
wait patiently on those whom they believe to ba
honest, and whom they see striving to pay their
debts. Remember, too, tbat punctuality is ihe soul
of honesty—the life ol business, and the sine qua
non of success. Keel) your promises at any sacri-
iice. The man who always meets his obligations
promptly, ca i always get trusted for what, is necessary. But the best way to preserve good credit, is
to use itsp ringly. And wdien you buy any hi'ng1
OQ credit, agree definitely on the time of payment,
and let nothing short of death or lunacy prevent
you from meetuig your engagement.

When a man comnicucee the publishing of a paper, he can't give it up till he is ruined—and then
when he gets a spare hundred, he starts another.—
