Never lived another maid,
Like my dainty Lila Leo
Nothing else In earth or heaven
Is there half so dear to me.
Sunny curls around her temples.
Laughter ripping DER her face,
"Poetry 10 every motion"
Every action full Of grace.
Dearcr than the light Of Heaven
Is my Lilla's love to mel
Darling Lila, charming Lila.
Loving Lila Lee.
Moving with an airy i~eetness,
Like a swallow on the wing,
Riyaling the pleasant music
Of the sweetest birds that sing;
lowering above the flowers,
A Blitho and busy as a bee.
Thus to see her should you marvel
That I love my Lila Leel
Graceful as a woodland fairy,
Happy as a laughing child,
Crowned with beauty that cclipsos
Fairest flower that ever smiled;
Pleasant as the Summer sunshine,
Quite as radiant and as freer
Is this charming little maiden,
My bewitching Lila Lee.
Never frowning, never pouting,
Smiling brightly ali the time,
Speaking with an accent sweeter
Than the dreaming poets rhyme;
Winning all hearts into loving,
stony-like though they may be-
Almost like a sinlcss angel
Is my darling Lila Lee.
Could you see the rogucish loving
Peeping from her April eye,
You would know that / must lore her,
And you would not wonder why.
Nothing else was ever like her,
Dear as life is she to me;
Heaven is near me whom I reYel

QUERY ABOUT SQUASH Y1NEs.-Whv il if
that squash vines, and sometimes pumpkin
vines, put out so many false blossoms before
one containing any fruit shows itself? There
IS probably difference in them in this renect.
On one side of a cornfeld we have planted
the marrow squash among the corn. On the
opposite side we have planted with the corn
some OF the long pumpkin. Many of the
pumpkin vines have put out the fruit after
the vine has run only about two feet. On
the other hand, the squashes have run near
SIX rect before they have shown any fruit,
while, in the meantime, they have mt ont q
great number of false blossoms. Wonld saw
ing for seed those that grow nearest the root
nave tendency to check this running habit
OF the vine, and cause them to put out nearer
10 the MIL? There appears no use to have 40
m n stray vine if it can be helped, especially
if they bear but little.
