And boyhood lives in me

Its fullness OF tie heart is mine,
AS when Learned to hear thee speak
Or Iased my doubtful eye to time,

And timldly again up rise

And smiles and tears more dear than they.
Ere this, thy quiet eye hath smiled,

When hall woman, half a child,
Thy very aitlesSneSs heguied,
And folly's sell seemed wise in me;
too can smile, when DER that hour
The lights OF memory backward stream
I ct ieel the while that manhoodS power
lSvainer than my boyhood'S dream.
Years have passed on, and left their trace

And unto me the calm, cold face

Of woman'S pensive beauty brought.

For thee, the priestly rite and prayer,

For me, the silent reverence. where

TREATMENT OF Horse MANURE. Fresh

when allowed TO ferment, as it usually does in
practice, it contains only per cent, OF ertil,zing

weight This gives some idea OF the waste which
generally attends the practice Of negecting this

vent this waste, it is only necessary TO thrn,y tho
