THE HUSBAND SPEAKS.

Dearest, though have sung many songs,
Yet have never sung one from my heart.
Save to thee only-and such private songs
Are as the silent, secret kiss of Love!
My heart, say, so sacred was, and is,
kept, keep it, from all eyes but thine,
Because it is no longer mine, but thine,
Given thee for ever, when gave myself
That winter morning-was it years ago?
To me it seems the dream of yesterday!
You have not lost the face married then,
Albeit trif1e paler-not tonight
Nor the eyes that saw then, and see still,
What every man should see in her he weds!
l wander ....wisely, let me; since my words
Conceal what none but you and should know
The love bear you, who have been and are
Strong in the strength and weakness of you
Queen of my household, mistress of my heart,
My children's mother, and my always friend;
In one word, sweet-sweetest of all words-Wife

The Destruction of Weeds.

If baud Of hungry Indians were to
invade farmers house and appropri-
ate" the provisions, it is probable that
some exertion would be made to prevent
the recurrence of such preceding. The
Indian agent would be applied to. influ-
ence would be made use of to remove the
transgressors to some distant reservation,
aud if this could not be done. the farmer
would assume the character Of the strong
man armed" and the bullet and the bayo-
net would be resorted to to repel the in
vaders.
Every year crowd Of rapacious weeds
take possession of the tillage fields Of the
farmer aud rob the soil Of the ingredients
which are the food of his crops. Some of
these weeds are . native and to the man-
ner born." but others, as the Canada this
tie. are adopted citizen, that claim the
right of =" squatter sovereignty" and are
satisfied with nothing less than the exclu-
sive possession of the soil.
An intelligent and successful farmer
once said that very early in life he learn
ed what proved to him very useful les
sou. aud that was, he could not raise two
luxurious crops successfully at the same
time, in the same field. He found that be
could not grow heavy crop weeds and a
heavy crop of cereals or forage plants
one must give way to the other, aud he
determined that the weeds should be de-
stroyed. He put bis resolution into prac-
tice by establishing rotation of crops.
never allowing cereal to succeed a cereal.
lest weeds might pen and disseminate
their seeds. He found drill husbandry
peculiarly adapted to dstroy weeds, and
he was particularly careful that the after
culture of the various crops should be
perfect.
Annual weeds which spring up in win
ter wheat may be destroyed by freshening
up the surface of the soil with the harrow
or horse-hoe at the time when the young
weeds have made fair start. The great
secret of cleaning land from weeds is to
prevent them from ripening their seeds.
It is said that
''One years seeding
Make seven years wedding"
Every farmer should begin in time to
prevent the growth of weeds, and above
all things, to keep them from ripening
their seeds. They are as injurious to pas
lures and meadows as to tillage crops. -.

THE WIFE SPEAKS.
THE CRYSTAL WEDDING.

l.
THE WIFE SPEAKS
Husband, to-day, could you and behold
The sun that brought US to our bridal morn,
Rising so splendid in the winter sky
We thought fair spring returned, when we were
wed;
Could the shades vanish from these fifteen years,
Which stand like columns guarding the approach
To that great temple of the double soul
That is one-would you turn back, my dear,
And, for the sake of Loves mysterious dream,
AS old Adam and as sweet as Eve,
Take me, as took you, and once more go
Towards that goal which none of US have reached
Contesting battles which but prove loss,
The victor vanquished by the wounded one;
Teaching each other sacrifice of self,
True immolation to the marriage bond;
Learning the joys of birth. the woe of death,
Leaving in chaos all the hopes of life
Heart-broken yet with courage psessing on
For fame and fortune, artists needing both?
Or, would you rather-I will acquiesce-
Since we must choose what is. and are grown
gray,
Stay in hfe's desert, watch our setting sun,
Calm as those statues in Egyptian sands,
Hand clasping hand, with patience and with
peace,
Waiting for future which contains no past?

THE EMIGRANTS.

When the elms turn yellow,
Ere the beach grows red;
When the dahlias blacken
In the garden bed;
When the skies are grayer,
And the rain clouds cluster
Then the gathering swallows
On the belfry muster.
When the dead leaves, golden,
Blow about the lanes,
Rustic o'er the fallows,
Patter on the panes;
When the sun grows colder,
And the rain clouds cluster
Then the gathering swallows
On the belfry muster.

a MOTHERS wANiNG.

An night the dcws IN silence wcpl
Aud through the pane the moons pale beams
PLAYED on the noor IN silver rifeamt
While by my side my baby slept
So son, % sweet the midnight stole,
II stillcd the brceios on the lea,
And hushcd the murmurs Of the sea,
And hushcd the strife within my souli
And siicnced all the questions wild
That came between our faith and God
And bade me lie beneath the rod
Calmly as lay the sleeping child.
Then slumbcr on my eyelids pressed,
And dimmcd the moonheans' silver clear,
And hid the sound loved TO hear,
The breathing of the babe at rest.
Till DER the sea, In rosy light,
The flush Of morning slowly cropt
And whispering breeEes softly swept
The silent shadows Of the night
Then wrapt in dreamland far away
| saw the angels come and 90,
And hutter Of their white wings show
Like ocean birds at dusk Of day.
They came, and looked within my eyes,
With their sweet eyes 50 pure and true,
Aud sang low songs all strange and new,
The music of the eternal skies.
But waking, 10 a cherub smiled
Heaven in her soft eyes azure deep,
And radiant from her rosy sleep,
An angel half, and half child.
And little hands were touching me,
And tiny rills of laughter broke
From lips that kissed me as | woke,
And called my name in baby glce.
And all the vision heavenward swept
Lost in the gold and crimson sky,
Their farewell whispers floating by,
One angel in my arms ! kept

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-The sea
is the largest of all cemeteries, and its
slumberers sleep without monuments.
All other graveyards, in all other
lands, show some distinction between
the great and small, the rich and poor I;
but in the ocean cemetery the king
and the clown, the prince and peasant
are all alike uudistinguished. The
same wave rolls over all-the same
requiem by the minstrels of the ocean
is sung to their honor. Over the ro-
mains the same storm beats, and the
same sun shines, and there, unmarked,
the weak and powerful, the plumed
and unhonored, will sleep on until
awakened by the same trumpet.

AGRIoULTURAL JoKEs.-The Ohio
Farmer gets off the following:
Large horses are generally most ad-
mired by farmers; but farmers are
most admired who pony up.
Prosperity is generally based on
knowledge and industry; the swine
will get most that nose most.
Farmers are like fowls-neither
will get full crops without industry.
Because a man who attends a flock
of sheep is shepherd, makes it no
reason that man who keeps COWS
should be copdrd.
We like TO see farmer increase the
growth of useful plants and shrubs
around his home, but do not like to
see him use rails, poles and boards to
with.

THE HEAPPRoACHING DEATH OF THE
FATTED CALF.

We read in Holy Bible Writ,
The way 10 treat all erring brothers,
And find the very case to it
That which our eountrymen now bothers.
There was fine old gentlemen,
Whose son run Wild and rioted,
Who spent his means and when he starved,
With swine on husks he dieted.
Till sick Of all such wretched fare,
lie started up, and of he ran
To seek his father, at his feet
To own his faults up, like man.
His father opened wide his arms,
And olasped him warmly to his breast,
"My son repents and lives again,
viii forgive him all the rest
"Bring forth the best robe for his use,
Rings for his hands, shoes for his feet
And bring the iattcd calf 10 kill,
And joyfully we all win eat"
And though the eldest son objected,
And thought his father was too kind,
When him his father had corrected,
No more be irowned, no longer whined.
We never heard that the youngest son
Ever went wild or bad again;
The fatted calf was the only one
Who had just reason to complain.
How do we know but, had he lived,
His vulgar manners would have sh0wni
'Twero better far that he had died
Than to a Bullock to have grown.l
This great example, taught us
From the highest, holiest source,
l. an order from on high
For US TO fellow the same course;
Our erring brothers to forgive,
And kin the calf, so fat aud hearty;
Where does this fatted calf now liver
