KATIE LEE AND WILLIE
GRAY.

Here Is little love story, told In beau-
,iful simplicity and real poetic measure
It tells briefly all about the courtship and
marriage Of Katie lee and Willie Gray,
Ind leaves them In their cottage home hap
,y over their first born. Young ladies Of

he Home journal. Here it is--a love sto-
y in verse, and worth more than all the
rashy novels you have lost sleep In order

Two brown heads, with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes black and two eyes blue,
Little boy and girl were they,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They were standing where u brook,
Bending like Il shepherds crook,
Flashed its silver. and thick ranks
or willow tringed its banks
Half in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray.
They had cheeks like cherries red;
He was taller, most head;
She, with arms like wreaths of snow,
Swung q basket to and fro,
CAS- they loitered, half In play,)
Chattering to Willie Gray.
''Pretty Katie" Willie said,
And there came dash of red
Through the BROWNIES of his check |;
'BOys are strong and girls are weak,
And I'll carry, so ! will.
katie's basket up the hill"
Katie answered, with Il laugh,
You shall carry only half;"
Then said, tossing back her curls.
"Boys are weak as well rs girls"
DO you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed?
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't change much after all;
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Gray
Stood aydin beside the brook,
Bending like shepherds crook
Is it strange that Willie said,
While again dash of red
Crowned the BROWNIES of his cheek,
~ am strong and you are weak
Life is but a slippery steep.
Hung with shadows cold and deep.
"Will you trust me, Katie dear!
Walk beside me without iearY
May carry, if will,
All your burdens up the hill ~
And she answered, with Il laugh,
MO; but you may carry half"
Close beside the little brook
Bending like II shepherds crook,
Working. with its silver hands,
Late and early ut the sands,
Stands Il cottage, where to-day
Katie lives with Willie Gray.
In the porch she sits, and, 10!

away. Save them always. Either
break them up as fine as you can and
apply them to the soil, or burn and pull

reduced by acids or alkilies, they are
the most direct stimulants the soil can

Garden Culture of Cranberries.

A resident of Cape Cod, where the
cranberry is extensively cultivated,
says:
Prepare the ground by deer plowing
or spading, and enrich it we'll in the
usual way. or with compost of two
parts swamp muck, and one part wood
ashes. Bone dust is an excellent ap
plicarion, say one pound to the square
yard. In April, May, or June, or in
October and November, set the plant
four inches apart, in rows six inches
asunder, in beds four feet wide. Two
square rods will yield four or five bush
els, and require two thousand plants.
The vines will soon cover the ground
and require no renewal, as the plant is
a perennial shrub. The cranberry is
one of the best plants for garden edg-
ings, or for broad belts or borders for
the principal walks. 1t is easily
trimmed and kept in order, and is al
ways attractive i'll bloom or in fruit,
and being an evergreen, in winter.
For edglngs, plant SIX inches apart in
double rows four inches asunder. For
belts and borders which may be one
half to two feet wide, plant as above
directed for beds. AS soon as it is
known how easily every family may
grow its own cranberries, the cultiva-
tion of this wholesome fruit will be intro
duced into every garden. 1t is in eat
ing from September to June.

could be found; but one Sabbath he

of satisfaction on his face, informed his
