from its rayages.

>" on 60 by halves, to day. Well, what
else Be speedy, ma'am, you are keeping
better customers waiting lf.peck Of
Indian meal and French ROLL" said the
woman; but her lip quivered, and she
turned to wipe away q trickling tear
| looked at her straw bonnet, all broken
at her faded shawl, her thin, STOPPED
form. her coarse garments; and read
"poverty" on all-extreme poverty. And
the pallid, pinching features the mournful
but once beautiful face-told me that the
luxuries were not for her.
An invalid looked out from his narrow
window, whose pale face longed for fresh
oranges; for whose comfort the tea and
the butter and the fine French roll were
bought with much sacrifice. And saw him
sip the tea and taste the dainty bread, and
praise the flavor OF the sweet butter and turn
with frightening eyes to the golden fruit
And heard him ask her, kneeling at the
smoking hearth, to taste them with him.
And as she set her broken pan on the edge
to bake her coarse loaf, l heard her say,
" BY and.bye, when l am hungry"
And "by-and-bye," when the eyes of the
sufferer are closed in sleep, saw her bend
over him, with blessing in her heart.
And she laid the remnant Of the feast care
fully by and, ate her bread unmoistened.
l started from my reverie. The grocer's
hard eye was upon me. "You are keeping
better customers waiting"
Oh, how l longed to tell him how pov-
erty and persecution, contempt and scorn.
could not dim the hearts fine gold purified
by many trial; and that woman with her
little wants and holy sacrifice, was better
in the sight of God than many trumpet
tongued Dives, who gave that he might be
known to men.

How Deem to Plant Seeds.

On this subject the monthly report ofthe
Department of Agriculture says:
"The proper depth to plant seeds is
question of considerable importance, and
one which, like many other similar ques-
lions relating to plant growth, cannot re-
celvc definite answer that would be of
general or universal application. In dry
sandy Soils situated in dry climates, deep
er covering will be required than would
be judicious where both soil and climate
indicate the reverse of these conditions.
For instance, it has been shown that peas
continue longer in bearing condition on
sandy soils, 7Ehen sown at depth of in
ches, than they do when placed nearer the
surface; and it is said that the Indians on
the tablelands of the Colorado plant corn
10 to IL inches below the surface with the
best results; but ifplanted with only or
2 inches of covering, the crop fails. Seeds
also vary in their ability to penetrate depths
of soil in terminating. Leguminous seeds,
and some of the largest seeding graminem,
can be planted deeper than those of light
