THE DAYS ARE GROWING LONG. —

Along the bright horizon-line, | Dividingearth from orient skies. We look more northward for the sign

Of light each morn as darkness dies ; Yon wood, toward which the sun creeps, Will soon resound with chirping song Throughout Its still and solemn deeps,— fhe days are growing long.

siow

A week ago, the suprise blaze , Left far to shadowy north yon spire: ‘This Sunday morn, the first bright rays its belfry lights with gleam of fire, That, shining through its window, seems An eye prophetic of the throng Of joys with which the vision teems When days are growing long.

Life's day is growing long, We scan With curious, hopeful, awe-struck gaze, Life’s dim horizon-line, that man Must pass ere treading heavenly Ways. Our sun each day the zenith nears, We sit in memory’s realm of song, Like diamonds soon will gleam tears,— Life's day is growing long.

L TEST OF BAD MEAT.

People in a city are it constant danger o buying unwhelesome jood, unless they are well posted, and not content with merely the claim of cheapness to commend what they buy. This last is a potent inducement t peovle of limited means, and a visit to ou inatkets, outside, will allord many evidences of the unserupulousness of dealers and the credulity of buyers, The health of the pub- hie should not be endangered by thus allow- ing the sale ef imperfect meats, and we wis! ihere were stringent regulations preventing it. Der. Letheby, who bas had great experi- ence during several years in the city of Lon- don, deseribes the following according the British Medical Journal, as the charac- teristics of good meat:—

:. It is neither of a pale pink color, nor of a deep jurple tint; for the former is a sign of disease, and the latter indicates that the animal bas not been slaughtered, but has dhed with blvod in it, or has suffered from acutef ever.

» Ithasa marble appearance from the ramilications of little veins of fat among thie muscles.

3. It should be touch, and should scarcely moisten the pers,—bad meat be ing wet and sodden abby, with the fat jvoking like jeliy or parehment.

4. It should have jittie or no odor, and the odor should not be disagreeable; for dis- pased meal has a sickly, cadaverous smeil, acd somelimes a smeli of physic. This is very discoverable when the meat is chopped

When dried at a temperature of two hundred and twelve degrees, or thereabouts, it should not lose more than fom seventy to s*venty-four per cent. of its weight, whereas bad meat will often lose as much as eighty pew cent, Other properties of @ Moe re-
