Upon the frosen 8iiow«, Then desolation reigned sapreme Ana noitht appeared aronad, But-snow ekd hills and lonly streams In uif fetters bound. The forest stood as thick as when Before the food it grew, But soon a olearing l(Hig and wide Appeared to please the y^ew. With sturdy arms and axes keen, T«o youths that fot«8t felled. And soon a dwelling rose to sight Where late the avage yelled. The house then was composed of logs Upon a gentle hill, And joinsd together at their ends With scientific skill. The oedar swamp then lent its aid And furnished us with means With shingles then aud neatly laid for to keep out the rains. Her father Adam's sentence then Upon us fell full eore, Bat all with patient fortitude Our lads and lassies bore. The words of Israel's sage proved true, Even h«re among the wil4s, ' Aud many a comfort we enjoyed For those we left behind. No real want we over knew. Thou ,h homely was our fare With tnankfnl and contented hearts We banished grief and oare. Our lads the-foreet ranged for game And sometimes a fat bock Or doe rewarded them if they Upon their track had sAruc^. A biasing fire adorned otir hearth And cheerful faces round Sat gossiping or Urtning To muB'c's lively sound. The Matron uid her Maiden then, Like Watt's busy bee, Improred the time with easy toil Or yocal melody. The Ox, the heavy plodding Ox, Of all the Bflstud train. Was then oar friend, for to his strength We looked ior future gain. With patience slow and solemn tread, His deyioos way he wound To Sydenham's mills the nearest place, Where flour oould be ground. The Bakers art soon turned to bread, The flour thus obtained. With home-made yeast, both good and pore. ^e maple tree contained. Of all the trees the forest yields, No other can compare, For innate virtue all thy own Thou Sugar maple fair. Thy ns^nl virtues well deserve. Bfore oommendable praise Than can be giyen by me or mine In these poor homely li^s. Thy juioes manufactured can When done at proper times, Produce a sugar sound and sweet As those of sunny climes. A vyrop sweet as nectar and An acid pungent too As that which crosses o'er the sea. From old and famed Bordeau. Thy wood doth make a cheerful fire and with a Uttle art ' Thy ashes forms the substance which Doth cleanliness impart. When tuned and polished it doth make.

For temperance aiid labour joined With pure and balmy air. It braced our nerves, our spirit cheered. And purified sur blood. That 'tf the doctor or his stuff In little reed we stood. The lawyer, he was seldom saen. And just as seldom wanted • No litigation then had been To jar the quiet homestead. The pious man did not forget The God who reigns above. But Uved in peaceful harmony In friendship and in love. The Ministers of Gtod with him, A heaity weleoq^ found. When ever they at stated times Did go the circuit round.

The attempt, when in bed, to read some amusing novel may be made, in order to diYert the mind from the wake- folneKs. A second method is, instead of reading, to repeat a poem with which one is familiar. Another plan is, to draw in a long, slow breath by the mouth, aud force the breath out through the nose, imagining that ^e two currents can be distinctly seen. The mind is to be kept fixed upon the operation of breathing, and tiie en- deavor to see the currents as they are expelled. One of our editorial as- sociates finds relief by wetting a doth with cold water and placing this across. the forehead, and binding it in plac» by means of a towel. It is worth while to give either of these methods a thorough trial rather than to resort to drags of any kind. â€" American Agri- etdtitritt for November. I 1 11 I BniMiaff an.

The locality selected was one affording facilities for drainage, was well diaded by trees, and conveniently near the house. The surface being sandy, was levelled, and four by six inch sills, fourteen feet long, were laid down and halved together at the ebmers. The plates of the same length, of two or four inch stuff, were put together in the same manner. Stads two by four, and thirteen feet long, were mortised into the sills and spiked to the plates every eighteen inches. The roof, a "square-pitch." is covered with ten- inch hoards, two inches apart, and other 'boards of the same width nailed on as battens. Hemlock boards, nailed horizontally on both sides of the studs, cover the sides and ends the four inch space between the other and inner uding, being filled with sawdust. Tbere is a door at the ground level, and another just above, both being priactically double, by means of horizontal boards placed onl^eiqside as t^e bou4e id filled* The rqof pro- jects onrar tiie udes about a. foot, aod the spaces between ti^at and the ^latc^aire left 0pen to afford ventila tien» A layei;^pf ssiWdust; four ihdi^ or more thick, was iaad upon tlie' grotmd, and the blocks of iee stacked u^Oii it as jclosiely afr pbBsihlei. i 33ie tQp 9fihe.,ice;i8 eove;red,with ft In^k ofvmaish hay^^ »3ooxii two ii^^ ilhicii^ lliis hdns«;il filled up^ toi ifaejrboip would hbfd'klftmt sixty tpttf.'
