AN INFANT LoGIcIAN.-A grand
child of DIR. Emmons, when not more
than six years old, came to him with a
trouble weighing on her mind.
" A. B. says the moon is made of
green cheese, and l don't believe it"
Don't believe it I? Why not 2"
| know it isn't"
But how do you know
Is it, grandpa ?"
Don't ask me the question you
must find out YOURSELF
How can I find it out ?"
You must study into it.
She knew enough to resort to the first
of Genesis for information, and after a
truly Emmons-like search, she ran into
the study.
"I've found it out The moon is moi
made of green cheese, for the moon was
made before the cows were."

A THRIFTY HUsBAND.-A Partisan
widower, who greatly regretted his wife
had her buried in the cemetery of Mont
Parnasse. He put up no monument Of
marble or stone-only small garden
and q very small inscription marked the
spot where his lost partner lay. First,
some nasturtiums were planted over the
grave the deceased was fond of nastur-
tiums. These were gathered on Sunday
and eaten asa salad. This attempt hav-
ing been successful, holder measures
were adopted, and some little pink rad
ishes grew there, as if by chance. The
official in charge of the cemetery said
nothing until last autumn, when he be-
came aware of the presence of two enor-
nous melons in the enclosure. This
time police regulations were put in force
and this new form of market gardening
was brought to close by the bereaved
husband being requested to withdraw
from the cemetery, which he did, COM
planning bitterly of the cruelty, and say
ing that he had so particularly valued
the vegetable grown upon the grave, and
eating them with peculiar satisfaction,
because he felt they were offered him by
his Zoe.

FERTILIzfNG LAND WITH SHEEp.-A
farmer in Maine fenced off ten acres of
very poor land and turned upon it fifty
sheep, and kept them there two seasons.
They ate up every green thing. In the
spring of the second season there sprung
up green coating, showing that grass
was coming in, which gained so fast as
to induce a withdrawal of the sheep the
third season. The result was crop
averaging two tons to the acre on one
portion, and two and half tons on the
other, of the best quality of hay. The
weeds had nearly all disappeared.

question how to break the news to Mrs.
Bagley. But finally the body was put
into Higgins wagon and he was instruct
ed TO take it to Mrs. B., but to be very
guarded and discreet in his language,
and not to break the news to her at once
but do it gradually and gently. When
Higgins got there with his sad freight
he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to the
door. Then he said
Does the wilder Bagley live here !"
"The widow Bagley, No, sir "
"I'll bet she does. But have it your

whistle with, even though it were penny
one. 1t is now navIgable in any part for the

inches before ''wading in." The poor old

ONLY DREAMS.
BIZ ELLA WHEELER.

A maiden sat in the sunset glow
OF the shadowy, beautiful "Long ago"
That we see through a mist f tears.
She sat, and dreamed, with lips spart,
With though tfal eyes ana beating heart,
Of the mystical future years.
| And brighter far, than the sunset skies,
Was the vision, seen by The maiden's eyes.
There were castles, built of the summer air,
And beautiful voices were singing there,
In a soft. and floating strain.
There were skies ofazure, and fields of green,
With never cloud to come between,
And never a thought of pain.
There was music, sweet as the silver notes,
That flow from a score of thrushes' throats
There were hands to clasp, with loving
hold,
There were lips to kiss. and eyes that told
More than the lips could say.
And all of the faces she loved were there,
With their snowy brows, untouched by care,
And locks chat were never gray.
And Love, was the melody, each hesrt beat,
And the beautiful vision was all complete.
But the castle, built of the summer wind,
I have vainly sought l ouly find
Shadows, all grim, and cold
For the dreaming maiden, who thought to
into the future years, was me;
And l am gray, and DID,
All my dream of earth, was as fair, and
bright,
AS my hope of Heaven is, tonight.
Dreams are but dreams, at the very best
And the friends loved, laid down to rest,
With their faces hid away.
They had furrowed brows, and snowy hair,
And they willingly laid their burdens where
Mine shall be laid, one day.
A shadow fell over my vision scene,
For the clouds of sorrow, came in between.
The hands that thought to clasp are crossed,
The lips, and the beautiful eyes are lost,
And | seek them, all ia vain.
The gushes of MELODY, sweet and clear,
And the float ing voices, do not hear,
But only sob of pain.
And the beating hearts, have paused to rest
All i! drea ms are but dreams, at the very best
