YOU KISSED ME.
BY ASNABEI MosrroRr.


You kissed mel-my head had dropped Low
upon your breast,
With a feeling of shelter and infinite rest
While the holy emotions my tongue dared
not speak
Flashed up, like a fame. from my heart to
my cheek.
Your arms held me fast-Ol your arms were
Heart responded to heart in that passionate
hold:
Your glances seemed drawing my soulthrougk
mine eyes,
As the sun draws the mist from the sea to
the skies;
And your lips chung to mine, till / prayed in
my bliss
They might never unclasp from that raptu-
rous kiss!
You kissed mel-my heart, and my breast,
and my will,
In delirious joy for the moment stood still;
Life had for me then no temptation or charms
No vista of pleasure outside of your arms.
And were l this instant an Angel, possessed
Of the glory and peace that are given the
blest,
l would fling my white robes unrepiningly
down,
And take from my forehead its beautiful
crown,
To nestle once more in that haven of rest,
With your lips upon mine, and my head on
your breast.
You kissed me!-my soul,in a bliss so divine,
Reeled and swoened like a foolish man drum.
ken with wine,
And I thought 'twere delicious to die then, if
death
Would come while my lips were still moist
with your breath;
'Twere delicious to DIE. if my heart might
grow cold
While your arms wrapped me closely in
that passionate hold.
And these are the questions l ask day and
night:
Must my life taste bat once such exquisite
delight
Would you care if your breast were my shell,
ter as them
And.if you were here-woUID YOU KISS ME
AGAIN?

An OLD FARMERS ExpERIENCE.

The following bits of experience are worth
making note Of. There is only one poiRt
in which we disagree with our venerable
friend. Il is In regard to the degeneration O
wheat, cats and potatoes. If we save tht
seed of small grains, in the ear or head, ant
especially if we give drill culture, extra care
and perhaps hoeing to the grain we wish foi
seed, and select the heaviest kernels from the
earliest and largest heads, small grains vii
not degenerats any more than corn. 0ui
friend writes;
II have farmed 46 years for myself and ey
er since 1881 have taken two agricultural pa
pers. IhaTe been greatly benefited by then
instruction, although there are many things
published in them that never ought to be.
Allow me to give ysu few facts....... Fruit
trees should never be trimmed in February,
March or April; the time is when they are in
blossom. The time TO cut timber, to have
il last, is in January and February. July and
August..... One load of manure hauled out in
the fall after the sun crosses the line, and
spread, is worth two to four loads hauled in
che spring, any way that you can fix it.........
Fall-pIowing is beneficial on clay loan or
muck soil, and on sandy and grayelly soil il
you can ploW before there is any frost. .........
Some men say that corn viii degenate and
run out. My father got kind of yellow IL
rowed corn in the year of the great eclipse
1906, which remember very well. took it
from him in the spring Of 1920 and have il
now. It's an early, sound corn, very easy to
husk. can raise 80 bushels Of shelied corn
to the acre with no extra labor, planting 81
feet each way. / have another kind of g.
rowed yellow corn, which got in 1928, which
win grow and ripen in 90 or 100 days.........
Wheat, oats and potatoes wear out with
ordinary culture Ed. Ws do not harvest
our grain and cut our hay early enoughin this
country....... When I commenced farming
/ was closely watched by my neighbors, who
said plowsd too deep, cut my hay too early,
and cut my grain too green. / have farmed
on II different farms, and the result has been
have trebled the crops on an average. /
have drained three farms pretty thoroughly
within the last 20 years, and am now Presi-
