key off de fence and he get up

Nothing to Do.

On every corner he waiting stands,
With listless gaze and idle hands,
Watching for me and watching for you
Beware! beware of Nothing to Do"
Omnipresent in llfe's highway,
AT rising sun or close of day;
Robbing and wasting the long hours
through
Is this cosmopolite, Nothing to Do
Half of the ills and the pangs of life
Half of its failure and half its strife
And the greater half of its evils, too,
We trace the door of Nothing to Do"
Childhood and youth. and senile years,
Have known the pangs, and bitter tears,
And hours of want-ah, not few
That follow the footsteps of "Nothing

SMALL FRUIT WINEs.-To make
good wine from blackberries, cur
rants, strawberries, raspberries or
gooseberries, is a simple process.
Mash the fruit fine in a gallon of
boiling water to each gallon of
fruit, add four pounds of sugar,
and, after standing twenty-four
hours, strain and put into a cask
and deposit in the cellar. If, after
fermentation, it should be racked
off and corked up in bottles, all
better; but it will do to rack it
into another cask, in which it
will keep very well though on tap
for the year. The cost of this
wine, including a fair price for the
berries, will be about thirty-fve
cents per gallon.
