their dreams in regard to the matter.

One writer labored to prove, and did
prove, to his own satisfaction, that the
ideal was more and better than the real.
Where there is shadow, substance must
exist as its cause. The viewless wind
uproots trees, and buries navies of oak
and iron beneath the mountain waves
which it has reused from the bosom of
the sleeping sea. A shadow symbolizes
substance, and quite as often raises
ones thoughts to the pure, the good
and beautiful, as the grosser substance
which gave it form. Some of our read
errs may find pleasure in the perusal
of the following
"SHADOWS.o
There are shadows on the ceiling, and watch
them come and go,
Forming.a sad procession, moving solemnly
and Slow
Haunting shadows, mocking shadows, fading
49,, with the dying light
VI the gold and purple sunset Of this blessed
April night.
I shall miss those mystic shadows when the
golden glory dies
L miss them, and grow fearful, as they vanish
from my eyes;
They are silent soul-eompanions, coming up
from shadow land
Fragments Of a bow of promise shattered by
a ruthless hand.
Now they glow like angel footprints, on the
ceiling-on the wal, =
Do dream or do | hear that well remem-
bered footstep fall
Softly on the floor beside me? Do see an
angel form?
Do feel the pressure of a loving hand and
warm
Lawfess fancy, HE thee soul-ward-there with
bitterness commune;
For the shadows all have faded, and my heart
is out of tune;
Let me go and sit in exile, underneath the jew
elled Skies
Longing ever, praying ever for a glimpse of
Paradise.

R01a,io1 of Crops.

The physiology Of plants is such, says
the Rural NelD Yorker that scarcely
any two Of them take from the ground OF
the atmosphere the same kind OF nulri'
ment in equal proportions. Hence At ioi-
lows that in continuous cropping, OF the
same product, much Of the productive
power of the soil and Of the fertilizers
combined with it is lost or remains inert
This loss may be retrieved by a judicious
system Of rotation, by which means all
the elements Of growth are brought into
successive action and rendered available
for farm products,
Perhaps the order Of the crops is not Of
gpecial Importance. One might begin a
system with roots; follow with cereals,
peas and beans, and then pasture or
meadow, according to the tastes or ne
cessities of the farmer. Some lands Will
DO wen in pasture Cor series Of years.
N Of the meadow, but as general rule,
the best results are attained by changes
every three or four years at the most II
oftener made, the chances of remunera-
ton are believed to be improved, while
the soil il relieved from the thousand
noxious plants which impair its vitality
without returning anything of value by
wav Of recompeuse.
