BUcKwHEAT CAKEs.-To every three
bushels of buckwheat add one OF good, heavy
oats; grind them together as though there
was only buckwheat; thus you will have
cakes always light and always brown, TO say
nothing of the greater digestibility and the
tightening OF spirits, which are equally GER

GET RID OF UNDESIRABLE STOCK
Farmers should be very careful in selecting
breeding animals of every kind. 1t is a
great mistake to waste provender on stock
of an inferior quality, which are not only far
from profitable, but Improbable even after
consuming an amount of pasture or forage
that would tell on a better class of ami
mails. Old horses are bad dependence
for the spring work A thrifty farmer gen
orally manages to get rid of his horses before
they are past their labor, and fall on his
hands dead loss Old mich cows are not
fit for the dairy, they should be fattened or
sold as soon as they are no longer profitable
for milking or breeding purposes. Old ewes
produce light feeces and small weak lambs :;
they are more liable to lose their wool by
brush and briars thar young sheep, and they
do not winter we'll; they should be culled
out of the flock and made fit for the butcher

holy love and constancy. When one day,
Her head upon his bosom, she told him
all. he also had his tale TO tell
I am old AMI gray, you see.' he said
and such love seems only to belong to
youth. coull not speak It, but I felt
It, and put my thoughts in verse and I
sent them to you, My darling, with hope
,hat 7ou would know whence they came
some time, though hardly with a hope
that you could give me more than a childs
respect and duty
But she ha given him more--she had
given him ali woman might, and this
she told him.
They are together still. / think they
have forgotten that one = young and the
other old. in the iu.T,;tal Ma. Of Doth
th il hearts. After that Que long talk
they said little more, but their love was
an assured thing. He tells her, a3 of
yore, all his scholars dreams, and talks of
the stars and thc flowers rather than Of
themselves Bat Ethel is content. She
has but to remember those treasured VAL
entines which lie bound together with
blue ribbon in her most sacred hiding
place, to feel assured of her joy There
is no empty nook in her warm heart, and
the angels Of love and duty clasp hands
beside their hearthstone.

we have 70 do; instead oftoiling for those
We love and for ourselves. there will be 4
little more room. with perhaps few pic
lures therein-a weary watching Of shad-
owS on the wall-a nervous, tiresome,
restless turning upon sick bed, as We
lie like infants, helpless in the care ofthe
loved ones. Then the hours will fly, oh,
so swiftly. as we are called to look with
eyes OF life upon those who are left be-
hind 10 weep and pray, and mourn
Then will like panoramas pass by the
work we. have done, the plans made and
the result accomplished-the streets of the
city, with their staring and glaring halls,
will fade out-the changing scenes Of
earth viii melt out and flat down the
turbid waters of the past, the only pic
tu>es engraven on ol4r hearts b-iEg the
faces, the forms. the smiles, the eye
whispers of the loved ones We hope soon
to meet and the only credentials for Ills
beautiful land and home whore none
but loved ones enter, the good acts, the
kind words and noble deeds-rreat or
small, given By Us to the ones who with
us are ever weary, but ever reeGing the
love and kindness we who are stroug fail
at all times to give.
When this day comes there will be no
more WEAKNESS, while :he prayers of those
who will mourn our departure will bear
i, tt the land Of the leal, wh re we can
rest or return in spirit TO guard and bless
those dear to US now
Life is nothing-but for those We love
it would not be worth the living Then
let Us all who are men be better, truer,
more deserving. Let US take more care
of curse vas-of our alth-of our etrn-
ings-that those who look with JOY for
our coming may be glad and by faith
love, kindness deserved, and trusting SYM
pathy, help US AL to reach the Eternal
Island Of tie true-where tn re will be
no more labor-no more oppression for
the poor, no more robblug Of those who

more vain watchings, and no more .Sutur-
dag Nights.

ETHEL ROMER'S MISTAKE.

Valentines day as soft and sweet a
day as any birds could wish for mating
in promise Of violets inits breath-pro-
mise Of roses in lis sun,hine. Though,
to be sure, the boughs were bare as yet,
and there were no green things growing,
save in the pots which Ethel Romer had
been putting out upon the broad window
sill to catch the sunshine. The thing
that sarorcd most of Spring was Ethel
Romet herself, as beautiful a woman as
ever artist painted or poet sang of. With
in. near the FIRE, sat Ralph Romer him
self. Spring had left him long before. M
IF winter fross were not upon his head
autumn had touched it with grey.
Ethers musine was Interrupted The
postman's rap did it. Ethel opened the
door. An envelope with pretty border
and faneiful seal, and her name upon it,
was pat into her hand At the sight she

within, and went bac', to the f,esilc with
the thing in her hand.

Again and again she read it over-agaln
and again-just as she had the others,
and thought, oh, how bitterly what a
beautiful thing life might have been to
her blest with such glowing love as this
life that must always be cold and wintry,
having only the calm, quiet common

youth bad coveted III her glrlhood.

Of the mountain-'h road at that point

and passes a celebrated monastery, dis
tincuished for the humility of the monks
and the sagacity and monstrous size of

Of travellers Napoleon crossed there with
IN army in $500.
Over Mount St. Gothard is another
wonderful road, only twelve feet vide.

and beasts of burden for the conveyance
Of baggage and goods. At intervals of
thirty miles there were cdltices for lodg-

finish of these roads, running generally
directly from one city to another, that
they have actually endured for over two
thousand years in some places. and e1-

While the .rckcuiDg hands Of the veafy clocks

The tears that We shed " hen we parted,

Til the fair green earth had no freshness to me,
And the sun no heaven in the skies.
