"KEEPING THE BABE FOR HIS

Among my beautiful memories,
Of summer beside the sen,
Is one of iThir young mother,
Wit her babe on her knee.

HaV aokapn and street bar joy I
Wat bad but toftaoo at bar features,
As aba bent and kind bar buy.
Ob I oft in that beautiful summer,
That summer beside the sea,
I prayed for that young mother.
And the baby on her knee,
for pale as tha snows of winter,
Aad fragila as flowers of spring,
It seemed aa I gaaed en tha darling,
I could hear lbs rustling wing
The rustling wing of the angel,
that Dear to we oaoiea away,
To that distant yet beautiful heaven,
Where life is eternal day.
And watching tha boy and bis mother,
AnH hm.inr amid n.v tWrs
Preyad that toe jtfhsv wooldspare him,
many beautiful jPjjBT
BUPbI era the flower of summer
Had faded and failed from eight,
There ware tears in tba eyea of that mother,
' Oaa gloomy aad sorrowful night
No lancer ihe' proud of bar treasure ;
Oone b bar solemn, sweet joy,
Alas I one glance at ber features,
Wil taU sba baa buried her boy.

That summer band tha asa
Oh I gentle aad sorrowing mother,
Ify heart is aching for thee.
Too well do I know tba anguish,
Of losing oaa's beautiful boy
TWO pell do I know how it shadows
The light of out dearest joy
Oh! my lips are yearning to whisper.
Of God and his Blessed Son,
Who are keeping the baby in heaven
Till thy earthly work is done
Keeping thy beautiful darling,
From sorrow aad si a so free
Till by and by thou shall hold him,
Once mere upon thy knee.

we exsm ne a manure heap composed of
the excrements of animals, in a state of
fermentation or decomposition, we find
that ammonia is one of tbe most promi

pound of nitrogen and hydrogen and is
developed by tbe process of fermentation.
The ingredients being important element
of BUtnriilon, ammonia becomes au im
portant object of attention a very slight
attention to it will suffice to convince us
of its volatility. It can also be shown
to have a great affinity for water, whieb

solution. The tendency then, in a pile
of fermenting achnal excrements, is to
give off to tbe air nitrogen and hydrogen,
iu the form of ammonia, in large quan
tities. Then we nt once perceive a source
of waste of valuable fertilizing materials.
The ammonia that thus passes off is i o
