MY LITTLE WIFE

The following exquisite love story is by a
poet celebrated in the July number of Black
wood-Davld Wlngate, q collier from his
ninth year:
My little wife, often round the church hill
Sweet little, dear little neat-footed Jane,
Walked slowly and lonely, and thoughtful.
until
The afternoon bell chimed its call DER
the plain;
And nothing seemed sweeter
To me than to meet her,
And tell her what weather twas likely to
be- Att&
My heart the while glowing,
The selfish wish growing,
That all her affections were centred in me.
My. little wife once Ctis strange, tits true.)
sweet little, dear little, love-troubled Jane,
SO deeply absorbed in her day dreaming
grew,
The bell chimed and ceased, though she
heard not it strain;
And /, walking near her,
MAY love ever cheer her,
Who think all such wanderings of sin void
and free,)
Strove hard to pursuade her
That he who had made her
Had deglined her heart love for no one but
me.
My little wife-well, perhaps this was wrong
sweet little, dear little warm hearted Jane
sat on the hillside till her shadow grew
long.
Nor tired of the preacher that thus could
detain:
4 / argued so neatly, s-. 81
4a And proved SO completely sss,.
That none but poor Andrewsher husband
could be, 1913 q HtsV
She smiled when blessed her,
And blushed when kissed her
And owned that she loved and would wed

FARMER'S SPEECH IN VERSE,


Labor, sun bronzed, with hard brown hands,
has spread
The board at which our hungry world Is
fed
And should he cast his shining coulter by,
The faInished nations would lie down and
die,
Not armies of brave hunters IN the chase
Could feed the wants OF our omaiverous
race.
The ancient patriarchs tolled in days Of
cid;
Abraham was rich IN cattle, sheep and
gold;
In times unknown to iron stoeds and steam
job had three thousand camels in his team,
Five hundred yokes of oxen in his stall,
And flocks of sheep that noclSed the noun
tain vail;
Cato the critic titled the stubborn soil,
And wrote with blistered hands the "art Of
toll :"
And Cincinnatus, all the school-boys know.
Though great in arms, was greater at tile
plow
The ,honest farmer Is our nations pride;
Before his steps both clods and cliques IL
vide;
He tolls among ancestral oaks and pines,
Where wood-birds sing and the wild b!0s-
som shines;
lie sees that root clasps. root throughout tho
wood,
AS human hands should Join in brothei-
hood;
He sees that branch entwlnes with branch
above,
AS human heart should touch in kindred
love.
Behold the wnistling plowman with his
team
He and his oxen drink from the same
stream;
He coIors with red, white and blue tho
| clod-
He looks from nature up to natures God.

HOGS WANT SULPHUR.

Whether hogs require sulphur as an
essential to their health, or whether II
is sought by them as condlment, may
not be known for certainty. But one
thing is sure. they devour IT. with greco
whichever it is to be found. Il Is i"r
tins purpose, probably. that they eat
large quantities of soft coal, which CON
tains a large amount of sulphur. Fer
hans this is he most ecoi nlcal neth-
cd of supplying hogs with sulphur dur
Ing the winter, when they require
GOOD deal of carbon, But IN tie snm
mer it is better to feed it to them in
substances which contains less carbon.
