sumers will have more bread and better
bread, than for years past Rye and oats,
too, will be in abundance. We all have
reason to be thankful-for if prices are not

The beauty of 4 blush

Goethe was in company with a mother
and her daughter, when the latter, being
reproved for some fault, blushed. ard
burst into tears. He said: !" How
beautiful your raproach has made your
daughter The crimson hue and those
silverIy tears become her better than
any ornament of gold and pearls.
These may be hung ca the neck Of a
woman, but those are never seen discon-
necsed with moralspurity. "a s1,i blown
rose, besprinkled with the purest dew,
is not SO beautiful as this child blushing
beneath her parents displeastre aad

The stream ripples bright by my cottage;
The sunshine is bright on the stream,
And the wee pebbly stones on tbs sunshine,
Like diamonds sparkle and gleam.
There are hazel trees kissing the water,
And plumes of the fair meadows sweet
And down By the hazel sits Jennie
And dabbles her little white feet.
The robin peeps in at my doorway;
The linnet looks down from the tree;
Lnd here, pillowed up in his cradle,
Wee Sandy sits smiling at me.

My tins are al bright On the shelf,
And the white supper cloth on my table
Is clean, for NAsH8p IT MYs.s.
