On bush and brake the front is hoar.
Knee deep, in hollows, lies the snow;
W Itiio softly, up and down the floor,
T he feel of wiutry moonbeams go;
And in the bush, before, the dawn,
A hoy kit Ja.cc i* grow ing w%p.
The death-watch answers beat for b**at
With his poor heart that moves so slow ;
fie hears the watchman in tlip street,
He hears the river's sluggish flow.
And through his brain there runs a dim
Ht-niernberanee of a c*uildish hymn.
Aguiu he lie* upon the grass,
Benva’.h the chestnut’s fluttering leaves ;
Tie ete« fhe mid-day glory pass.
He hears the dove that faintly grieves ;
And all these memories among
There steals the hymn his mother sung.
No loving tears are on his cheek.
No kisses ou his eyelids fall;
None mark the wrist-pulse growing weak ;
None listen to the Masterdj call;
Alone he goes with bated breath
To meet this mystery of death.
The moonbeams scarcely gild the panes,
Her golden disc has dropped so low ;
He thinks how tired the men will be
To-morrow, digging in the snow
Beside that grave the angels keep—
A n<3 whispers, “Now I’ll goto sleep.”
His ears grow dull to earthly sound ;
The thiu hands clasp upon his breast ;
A wondrous music swells around —
His soul has entered into rest.
Rise up. O sun, ami hail the day !
Through death he enters life for aye !
On Transplanting: Trees.
The proper season foAransplanting va
ries with different cultivators. Many pre
fer autumn planting, and the reason they
give for their preference is this: HTien
trees are planted in autumn, they say, the
ground becomes better settled about the
roots of the trees, and they are then en
abled to throw out fibers in the spring.
We greatly prefer spring planting for
nearly all varieties of trees, for this rea
son: If planted in the fall, very soon af
ter setting out, the trees have the lieavy
fall rains, which reuder the loose earth
round the trees a perfect mortar, and the
■wind then blows the tree to and fro, mak
ing a circle or hole around the tree exter
nally, about threo inches from the trunk
all around, winch freezes hard at night,
and presents in the morning a rock wall
around the tree, and as the hole is about
six inches larger than the collar of theta ce,
it chafes ofl the balk around at the collar,
and unless some manure is placed by it tjie
frost will extend down around the tree and
freeze the small roots—Still we have seen
good success in fall planting of apples and
pears and quinces. The following brief
1 ules may be .'anno guide to those who have
not had any experience in setting out trees:
1. Never plant a tree until the ground
has been first well pulverized. To plant
trees in holes, as many persons do. 2.
I'eep planting is a great error in this coun
try, and more die from this than any other
cause. They may thrive for a year or two,
but soon die, and apparently without any
other cause. The fibrous or surface roots
should not be more than an inch and a
half or two inches below the surface of the
ground. 3. Commcnoe planting by tak
ing out the earth a foot or more in depth,
and of sufficient width to admit all the
roots without crowding, bending or break
ing them. If the soil is poor, compost,
well decayed; rotten, manure; wood-ashes,
or a little liuie (if the tree planted is apple
or pear) may be thrown advantageously
into the hole below the bottom of the roots
Then fill in among the roots with earth,
well mixed with fine compost manure, us
ing the hand to seatter it well among the
small fibres, and do not leave any large
noies unuei me nee 10 aeias ininiuiurecis
tems. 4. llefore planting, prune all the
roots that have been injured in removal
with a sharp knife, hut do not cut them
off with a dull spade, as many do. Shor
ten such roots as are too long, and takeout
those that are too much crowded; avoid
injuring or cutting any of the small fibres.
5. l’rune the top and branches of the tree
in propotion, or rather more iu proportion
to the pruning done to the roots. 7. l'ill
the earth firmly in and around the roots.
Do not shake the tree any—giving it a few
shakes at its base will be sufficient. Fill
the holes up carefully and do not throw
too much ground in at once, lfdry weath
er ensues, a pail of water may he given
to each tree; and the soii around the tree
could be then slightly earthed over to pre
vent evaporation. If hot and dry weath
er succeeded during the season, then
mulch with coarse straw manure, which is
best, or straw, hay, leaves, etc In
Europe—a custom but seldom thought of
in the I'nitcd States—before planting an
orchard the ground is thoroughly subsoiled
or trenchpjowed to the debth of eighteen
inches or two feet, and wo consider it the
first and most important operation in the
preparation of the ground for an orchard,
unless the soil be so gravely as to render
this process useless. It is impossible for
a tree to flourish when it is surrounded by
a thick sod —[California Spectator.

A lluslness I’ace.
M *t business men have an expression
of countenance peculiar to their hours of
toil. As the kmgbt and men at arms in
the days of chivalry wore their mail with
the beaver and visor of their helmet
closed as they w nt to the fi Id, but laid
aside their platj for tllam garments
when the fray was over, so these chain
pious, iu a struggle nut le.-s trying, often,
wear an impenetrable mat k in business
hours, and lay it aside only iu their mo
incut of relaxation from ibeir daily pur
suits.
The other day, owe who had kuown a
brother merchant only in his counting
house, met him by chance as he was
frolicking with his children iu the play-.
ground, and failed at first to recogniie
him in what seemed so strange d.-.oi-e
The hard lines of the face, the stern
questioning look, the imperious gesture
the bold, almost defiant attitude, were
■ i -.1.- - ■■L - -■ ■ ■ ...
i gone and iu thoir place (here was a bcncvo
i lent smilt.-., a dimpled check, and a caress
ing fondness of manner that seemed to be
long to another lining.
| l’art of ties business armor is assumed
f>r eflcct, bnt much of it is the uncon
scious preparation for the daily struggle
made hy those who has had some ex per- j
ionce of losses in bygone conflicts Suspi
cion, horn of repeated betrayals ; doubt, al
most justified by the prevalence of deceit;!
a wary restless watchful eye, trained to
such activity hy unprovoked attacks ; an
unpitying curve of the lip, proof alike
against the solicitations of chronic beggary
and the appeals of simulated distress ; a
rigid veil of unconcern to hide the eager
ness which would defeat itself in a bargain ;
the tension of muscle and nerve ready,
like the bent how, for sudden action; all
those signs and many more, which arc
familiar to every-day observation, often |
mark the man of business prepared for his 1
daily task.
This arming for the counting house as j
for a battle field has many advantages
We dtscusscd the other day, the best t
method of relaxation, showing the impor
tance of a total change in flic Lent of the
mind to secure any refreshment for the
wearied body. But this habit of wearing
an unnatural face and manner during busi
ness hours renders such repose doubly
difficult. The warrior becomes accustom
ed to the mail, and wears it unconsciously
vr iivii ihuc in uu oviiiu. i m
rigid features fix themselves in a habit of
sternjnflexibility, and the hard, unloving
face frown with its business aspect upon
I the tender gaitics of the family circle,
] chilling the atmosphere of home, and
| blighting all social joy. The wife can
i hardly recognize in this sombre couti
i tonance the face that beamed upon her
j bridal hours; the children shrink from the
: cold caress, and fear to meet the forbid
! ding glance, which has in it no touch of
I parental softness. We do not say that
j those who dwell amid the defended pre
| cincts of the family circle can do nothing
' to help the husband and father, upon
whom such habits arc creeping, ere these
become indelibly fastened. As delicate
bands of old aided to remove morion and
breastplate, and oven to unbind the armed
sandals, that the warrior might rest at
^ euso, so there are tender ministries now,
which will easily charm the rugged lines
; of the sternest frown into a smile of peace
and sweet content. They who only suffer,
making no attempt to furnish the cheer
for which their hearts are longing, must
share the blame for their cup of misery.—

Tile Abyssinian \atiTes,
A letter from a gentleman accompa
nying the iiritisli invading army in
i Abyssinia furnishes (ho following de
scription of the natives of that distant. '
! region: “They are very dark, with
frizzly hair, but have none of the negro ^
characteristics. Their features are
well east, and in some casi : almost J
classical; their lips are thin, their fore
heads frequently high, and their noses
well formed. They have by far the
most intelligent features of any black
race I ever saw. Their figures, too, arc
upright as darts, and their limbs ]per
fectly straight. The great drawback
to their appearance is their extreme .
: leanness. They arc so thin that they
cast only if slight shadow. Of course
' there are exceptions; and I have seen
figures which might serve as H model
1 of symmetry; a fat native I have not
I yet seen.
Their dress when at work consists of
' merely a loin-cloth ; but at other times
they wear a long piece of cotton cloth, j
\voimu rounu and round men], ami
falling from the shoulder in graceful
i and classic folds. I imagine that there
is very little difference between the
dress of an Abyssinian and garb of the
old Human senator. The women dress
much in the same way, but those who
belong to tribes in the interior are j
I dressed entirely in leather, which is
; generally ornamented by white shells
sewn upon it in elaborate devices.
Leather does not sound a graceful ma
terial, but some of these dresses are
really very picturesque.
CM the women it is difficult to speak
, generally. Of course they differ much
in appearance as do the women of oth
er countries. Their features, like i
those of the men, show no trace what
ever of negro origin ; some of them are i
really pretty, with delicate features.
If they would but use water occasion
ally, nml abstain from frizzling and j
greasing their hair, they would be re-'
ally good-looking women. They are, j
as in most Eastern nations, mere slaves
to the men. They carry the wood and
grass, they fetch water, and, in fact, do
nearly all the hard work, while the
men stroll about w ith tlisirswords and [
shields and spears. I am now speak-;
ing of the natives upon the plateau.
The men's swords are exactly the
shape of an Irish reaper’s sickle, bnl
larger.
The spears are six or seven feet long;
and round tlie shaft, both at the butt
and whore the head joins the shaft, are j
rings of iron, which serve to balance 1
and at the same time to weight the !
spear. In a hand to hand tight these ,
would be really formidable weapons, l
for the natives can throw them with;
very great force and considerable ac
curacy for a distance of thirty yards.
The shield* are made of hippopotamus
bide, ami would turn a bullet ul a short
distance. All the uativ. u ho do not
carry shield and spear have a very !
heavy club, or waddy. These are
smooth, and about three feet in length.
In the handle they are about an inch
in diameter, but swell out to more than
double that thickness at Uie end. They
are made of a very strong und hcavv I
wood.
