SEVENTEEN HUNDRED YEARS IN AN OVEN
One house in Pompeii adjacent had evident

cleaners were masters of the situation. The
household goods were all in disorder, and
the family, if out Of town, must have been
undergoing that condition of misery which

and workmen's tools were scattered about

Such domestic implements as pots and kettles
had been bundled up in corner all by them
selves, and the cook was nowhere. Dinner
however, had not been forgotten. A solitary
pot stood simmering Gfeverit did simmer) on
the stove. And (start not, for it is true)
there was a bronze dish in waiting before the
oven and on the dish sucking pig, all ready

CHARITY.

Woman, with scorn on your beautiful face,
Radiant with velvet, and satins and lace;
Daintily lifting the SNOW of your skirt
Clear from the noXious and throng-trampled dirt
lily enough it become you to sneer
Thus at the OutcaSt that passes so near,
Shrink as you may from the touch of her shawl,
She is your sister-your sister for all.
Look at her brow, 'tis fair as your own;
Nor has her creek its bright bushes outgrown.
Ere you shall fasten disgrace on her name.
Wait till you know the temptation that came.
II it were weakness, or if it were crime,
Or some light romance, to girlhood sublime.
Maybe she loved. as we women do love-
Periling soul-aye, our birth right above.
Periling all for one law-spoken word
Seraphs themselves never tremblingly heard.
Maybe she loved-the old story again,
Woven with transport, and passion and pain.
And the bright gold that she clasp'd tund to rus
Till but a handful of dead-lying dust.
Mistness lies in the blue of her eyes,
All, do you see, It's q tear in disguise.
Who knows--when twilight impurples the world
And through the lattice the stars seem too cold
Who knows the sobs that the night breezns bear,
Sobs strangely like the wild wall of despair
See the iron bars hedging her track.
And though her heart bleed she may not 60 back.
Nothing but scorn at society's door
Nothing but thoughts for the life, bruised and sore
So the poor feet, goaded on with curse.
Plunge into paths where the darkness gets worse.
So the spurned soul, cropping down mid the gloom,
| falters and falls INTO mamy's tomb.

Farm, Garden, and Household,


There seems TO be Il disposition among the farm
ing community TO rear too many horses in proper
ton to the numbers of other farm stock. In cast
ing about among the rural towns We find scarcely a
farm, however small with zone piece of horse flesh.
and many instances from Wo to five will be seen.
Some farms at present have rs many of the horse
kind upon them, a, they have of the OK and cow.
Good horses are no doubt, III reasonable numbers
profitable but when horses Of all sorts increase TO
that extent that they crowd ont the other valuable
varieties of farm stock, it is not rs il should be-
Where several horses are kept they generally re-
ceve more attention, and better feed than the other
stock. They will not live and thrive upon such
fare as horned cattle too often have to subsst upon
The manure Of horses is not So good as A fertilizer
and is subject to damage and loss in a greater de-
gree than that of the other animal, OF he farm. In

THOUGHTS. God be thanked for books
They are the voices of the distant and dead.
and make us heirs of the spiritual life of the
past ages. Books are the true Jewellers.
They give to all who will faithfully use them,
the society, the spiritual presence of the best
and greatest of our race. No matter how
poor | am. No matter though the prosper
ous OF my own time will not enter my OBJ
sctrc dwelling. If the sacred writers will
enter and take up ther abode under my roof
if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to
me of Paradise, or Shakespeare to open to
me the worlds of imagination and the work

rich me with his practical wisdom, | shall
not pine for want of intellectual companion

Probably the highest rate of speed ever at
tanned in locomotion has been by iceboats,
scudding before the wind with a cloud of
canvass over a smooth expanse Of ice. Up
on Lake Winnebago, between Fond du Lac
and towns at the opposite extremity, it is
said that speed of seventy-five or eighty
miles an hour has been repeatedly witnessed,
with an unobstructed service and high
wind. The fastest motion ever achieved by
the locomotive engine in England is record
ed in the books as at the rate of seventy
seven miles an hour, and this only for: q
short distance. 1t is difficult to devise a
mode of motion where there is less friction
and less expense for power than by ice-boat

kissing the crimson clover
The sunshine haunting the lilly cups
That the yellow bees hung over,
And sunshine over the hazy hills
And over the dimplng river
And wished that the sun and the summer day
Might shine and last forever
We walked down by the meadow path,
The broad highway forsakng,
For the quiet of that lovely spot

And was silent and she was shy,

SAs they twittered to each other
About the nests they had hidden away
81 And the COO of each glad mother.
s And we thought, as we walked that summer day
III Through the clover blooms together,
That at last the world was in perfect tune
In the glad, bright summer weather.

As we walked knee-deep in clover;
But know that the robbins merrly sang
A song that was gladder, sweetcr,

So. And make the day completer.
And when we came up the meadow path
Our hearts sang over and over:

And yet know not the words she said,

But of all the sweet days, that summer day
