IMPLEMENTs.-We have resolved. for the
present at least, to change our tactics re-
garding the care of farm implements.
Hitherto we have, in common with the agri-
cultural papers in general, urged farmers to
take care of their tools and machines. We
have even printed directions for oiling and
painting and storing and the like. Now.
however, we have abandoned that line OF
policy. The dealers in and manufacturers of
such implements must live, and as we have
some friends and acquaintance among them
we are convinced that we have been too for
getful of their interests. The editor of an
exchange says that during a ride of ninety
miles which be took through an average ag-
rIcultural district, he counted the following
unhoused implements, namely: Forty-four
ploughs, twenty-three harrows, seven now
ers, one reaper with beater and platform as
last used, wagons too numerous to count, and
In one instance, a set Of harness hang
ing on a fence The ploughs were mostly
standing IN the furrow where they had been
last used. Such sight as that gladdens the
heart of the itinerant manufacturer. and is
an example which ought to be followed by
every tiller OF the soil who wants a new set
OF implements. Farmers, attention DO not
rub hnseed oil on your fork and shovel and
rake handles, do not paint your ploughs and
mowers, do not use any rust preventivel on
the iron and steel parts, and, above all, leave
everything out of doors You reaIIyi have
no idea how quickly you will possess "a new
set Of tools, provided you have BALANCED at
the bank, if you abandon that most obiec-
tIonaole structure, the tool house. Only
seven mowers and one reaper out in the air
IN stretch of ninety miles And only one
set OF harness Well we will hope for a
better report from that section the next time
our agricultural contemporary goes that way.

if | was to say this evening when your
papa asks me r-another cup of coffee, |
can't give you any more; I'm tired of pour

err"
The children both laughed at the idea
of their gentle mamma saying such thing
and said they would think it very queer,
1t would not be bit worse than for
you and Kitty to speak so to each other.
There is Just as mneh necessity for the
little people in our home to be courteous
to each other as for the big people to be.
If you only take care of the tone of your
voice it is so much easier to be polite, for
you would not be likely to make very
disagreeable remark in bright, cheerful
voice, would you2''
" No indeed, !" the children answered.
THAT is so much the case, Mrs. Frank
lin continued, that when you only hear
the voices of people talking, you can
usually tell whether they are saying pleas
ant or dsagreeable things. An anpry
voice is like railroad whistle, warning
you to get off the track, and if any one is
wise he will heed the warning. 1t you
get into habit Of speaking to each other
il cross voice, you will find that pres
emily, even though you feel kindly, you
cannot speak so, and then, children, you
will be 50 sorry for it, and it will be too
late to alter the tone OF your voice, L
have gone into peoples houses sometimes
and heard them speaking to each other in
cross or sulky tones, and then they would
come into the room where | was and speak
to me as sweetly and pleasantly as a May
morning but could not enjoy it, be-
cause felt that it was their company
voices that | heard, not the real honest
tones of their hearts So above all, be
polite to your own family, for there is not
much temptation to be rude to people you
meet formally. But there is your papa
COPING to meet US, and we must hurry.
We Will talk some more about the min
istry of politeness another time N \.

We two VIII stand in the shadow here,
To see the bride as she passes by:
Ring son and low, ring loud and clear,
Ye Ginning bells that swing high
Looki look she comes The air grows sweet
With the fragrant breath of the orange blooms,
And the flowers she tfeads beneath her feet,
Die in flood of rare perfumes
She comes che comesi The happy bells,
With their joyous clamor fill the air,
While the great organ dies and swells,
Soaring to trembling heights ofprayeri
oh rare are her robes of siIken sheen,
And the pearls that CLEAN on her bosoms snow
But raler the grace of her royal mien,
Her hairs fine gold, and her checks young glow.
Dainty and fair a folded rose,
Fresh as a violet dewy sweet,
Chaste as lily, she hardly knows
That there are rough paths for other feet;
For Love has shielded her; Honor kept
Watch beside her by night and day;
And Evil out from her sight hath crept,
Trailing its slow length far away.
Now in her perfect womanhood,
In all her wealth of her matchless charms,
Lovely and beautiful, pure and good,
She yields herself 10 her lovers arms.
Hark how the jubilant voices ringi
10 as we stand in the shadow here,
While far above the gay bells swing,
/ catch the CLEAN OF happy tear
The pageant is over. Come with me,
To the other side of the town, pray,
Ere the sun goes down in the darkening
Ard night falls around u.s. chill and grey,
In the dim Churrh porch an hour ago.
We waited the brides face to see;
Now life has a sadIer sight to show.
4 darker picture for you and me.
No need to seek for the shadow here,
There are shadows lurking everywhere;
These streets in the brightest day are drear,
And black as the blackness Of deseair.
But this is the house. Take heed, my friend,
The stairs are rotten, the way IS dim
And up the flights, as stIl ascend,
creep stealthy phsntoms dark and grim.
Enter this gambler. Day by day,
Alone ID this chill and shosty room,
A child-a woman-which is it, pray =
Desparingly waits for the hour of DOOM
All as She wrings her hands so pale,
No CLEAN Of a wedding ring you see;
There j. nothing to tell. You know the tale
God help her now in her misery
I dare not judge her. I only know
That love was to her a sin and a snare,
While % the bride Of an hour ago
It brought all the blessings its hands could bear
only knew that to one it came
Laden with honor and JOY and peace
Its gifts to the other were woe and shame,
And a burning pain that shall never ceaset
I only know that the soul of one
Has been pearl In a golden case;
That OF the other pebble thrown
Idly down in a wayside place,
Where all day long strange footsteps trod,
And the bold bright sun drank up the dew
Yet both were women. righteous God,
Thou only canst judge between he two

Once a Year.

Summer is here In all her glory
Of waving grasses and fragrant shoot,s
spelling out the beautiful story
OF seed time and harvest in flower and fruit
In green hollows of woody places
The sunbeams beckon the vioets out;
White thorn blossoms unveil their faces.
White swelling pods are beginning to pout.
All the fields are embroidered with clover.
0iddy wild roses seem running away
over the wall, the steep hill side over
Though blackberry vines hinder and bid them
to stay.
Breezes blow ever from gardens of spices
Bees hum over the flowers praise
The musical laugh of the wild brook entices
Natures lover TO follow her ways.
Stay dear seas on; why wi Il You leave US
Why need your blossoms grow brown and
sere
Linger a little or ever you leave Us,
For summer comes onlyionce a year

Injuries the voice, so that those who chew
cannot sing and speak to advantage. The
voice breaks, and the chorister croaks like
raven when he should sing like bobolink,
the orator merely barks and a tobacco
bark is very disagreeable. 4th The habit
of chewing is filthy habit Look at the
carpets, the stairways, the sitting-rooms.
where the chewers gather together and roll
the quid like a sweet morsel under the
tongue. Every boy that chews ought to
wear a hat shaped like a spittoon. and use
it as such wherever he goes, indeed, he
ought to wear it wherever he goes, indeed
he ought TO wear it when he sleeps, such
night cap might save the pillow case from
stains. 9TH. | fear tobacco creates an APP

LIGHT WITHOUT MATCHES. Take an oblong
vial of the whisest and clearest glass, put in
it piece of phosphorus about the size of a
pea, upon which pour some olive oil, heated
to the boiling point, filling the vial about
one-third full and then seal the vial hermet-
ically. To use it, remove the cork and allow
the air to enter the vial, and then recork it.
The whole empty space in the bottle vii
then become luminous, and the light obtain
ed will be equal to that Of lamp. As soon
as the light grows weak, it's power can be
increased by Opening the vial and allowing a
fresh supply Of air to enter. In winter it is
sometimes necessary to heat the vial between
the hands to increase the fuidity of the oil
Thus prepared, the vial may be used six
months. This continuance is now used by the
watchmen Of Paris.-RurdL Home
