Your words are said, your songs are sung
The lights grow dim and DINNER
The feast, full high and sweet, is done,
And JOY is but glimmer.
One word, and then we turn to leave
The banquet-scene fOrsaken,
Like one, who, dreaming of the day,
Doth in the dark awaken.
And now You bid me take the harp,
And trust my hapful fingers
TO try if some one tone, perchance,
OF all its magic fingers
yome tone to bring you back again
The feast in all it's glory,
The sunny look, the winning word,
The undertone of story.
Alas that such task should fall
To such hand as mine is,
While in your hearts you hold unsnng
The song that auld lang syne is,
But he who hath a song sometimes,
Though diffident with others,
MAY sing it by the hearth before
An audience of brothers.
Delay the word, let sadness walt,
Renew the light and laughter;
Fill high the cup we came to drink,
Nor fear the morning after.
AYS 1n6 Ddbn 0uuAJ Joy anu 1Ohs9p
But none too warm and tender;
Then fill the picture OF to-day
Sweet with sunset splendor.
By many paths our feet have come.
O'er river, sea and prairie ;
Hopes landmarks glowing all the way,
With CLEANS that never vary.
By winding ways our feet will go
Back to our hearth side pleasures,
To broader duties, fuller lives,
And -illumined treasures
Behind your chairs methinks I see
Sweet forms with faces hidden.
fail alive know not who are 'mong
These guests who come unbidden;
Jnbidden-no, no. no they came
Another way than ours;
md where we saw the wayside sand
They gathered wayside flowers.
The parting hour is ripe; so may
All farewell moments find you,
Life's lifted cup in happy hands,
With sainted ones to mind you.
Now, brothers, sisters of one name,
God bless the bread we've broken,
And light our now dividing paths
Farewell lit must be spoken.
Farewell THE word is to your hearts
A sweet vibration bringing,
While to your thought the summer sea
A softer song is singing.
Farewell upon our inner eye
What sudden scenes are stealing
Farewell upon our inner ear
What hidden bells are pealing!

FARM TOPICS.
Be Careful.
from the Philadelphia Ledger

(hrOm the fhlihuelpnlh LedkT,J
just now everything is favorable
for destructive confagrations. The
intense heat Of the sun beating down
upon the shingle roofs dries them in-
to u condition that catches and re-
tains fire that would be entirely in
nocent at other seasons of the year
The same influence operates upon
greasy rags, clothes saturated with
oil, turpentine, varnish, paint, etc
and causes them to take fire by what
is called 'spontaneous combustion
Every one, therefore should be extra
careful. Holes and corners under
etairways and hooks in dark closets
should be looked after, and all the
old concealed rags and rubbish clear
cd out. There are many substances
such as those we have already indi-
Gated that will generate heat to de-
velop into active FIRE under the high
temperature of the last two or three
days, aud 90 such offal or rubbish or
rags or clothes should be left in dark
neglected corners. Paint shops, var
nish rooms, machine rooms, where
cotton waste is used for wiping of
oiled machinery, drug shops, chemic-
al warehouses, distilleries, etc, re-
quire particular attention. When
wood work is dried until it is almost
charred, and there is at the same
time short supply of water, il
would require but small fire and
high wind to produce destructive
confederation.

A Farmers Wives Club.

At Okla Falls, Kansas they have a
club composed of farmers wives
The society meets once a month at
the houses of the mem bers in regular

and have sort of a picnic supper, so
as to give little trouble to the hos

with the management Of the domes-
tic department of the farm is agreed
upon at tho previous meeting and is
discussed over the tea and knitting
work. Like good wives they allow
their husbands TO come in the even
ing and girls who expect TO be far

The meetings are enjoyable and
profitable. This is an institution
that deserves to be established in

When to Cut Wheat.

The Germantown Telegraph gives
tho following directions: There has
been some diversity Of opinion as to
the best time to cut wheat, Judging
from the common practice of farmers.
1t is generally cut when dead ripe,or
at least when the grain has become
hard. This is no doubt an error, and
one Of more Importance than many
suppose. 1t should be remembered
that wheat is composed of gluten,
starch and bran Gluten is the nonr-
ishing quality of the grain, makes
the flour stick together in the hands
Of the baker, and gives weight to the
grain-and there is the greatest
quantity of gluten in tho grain just
when the straw is yellow two or
three j1ints from the ground, the
head turns downward, and you can
mash grain between your thumb
and finger without producing any
milk. 1t may therefore be set down
as an indisputable truth that every
day the wheat stands after this stage
of its ripeness, the gluten decreases in
quantity and the bran increases in
thickness.
