My Wen Spent Summer.
BY KATE PEYToN

This story is for common people" SO
if you are one of the uncommon people,
or think you are which is just the same
turn the leaf and pass on. This is not
for you.
Kitty, I'd give the world if only
knew how to keep house like you. get
so discouraged and disheartened that l
feel as if I'd just like to give it all up
and die. What with the children, and
the housework. and my ignorance, life is
burden to me.
Poor cousin Belle dim suggestion
Of plan by which might help her out
Of her trouble had been floating through
my brain for several days, and this pa
thetic appeal brought my ideas to TO-
Gus.
Now, l know how to keep house.
Why? Because had New England
mother; and if there are any better
housekeepers in the world than the New
England housekeepers, there ought to be
a separate department in Barnum's for
exhibiting them to the gaze of an admir-
ing world.
My mother had a faculty." She
was a gentle woman, but when she walk
ed through room, the chairs, tables,
ETC., used to marshal themselves into
place, as if a general was giving the
word of command to his soldiers.
All her daughters were instructed in
housewifely duties. not only served
an apprenticeship as second girl" but
was chief cool" as well, and when my
father said
kitty, this bread Is just as good as
your mothers" thought had gradu,
ated with the highest honors. This was
my good fortune Poor Belle had never
been taught anything but the piano, and
as she sagely remarked, They couldn't
eat music"
This was her ill-fortune, and SO il
came about that Belle, thousand time:
prettier and brighter than | ever thought
of being, had gotten the threads in hel
web of life all in tangle, where l could
have woven without let or hindrance.
Now, this was my plan. Belle wa:
naturally very quick and bright, and
could stay with her six months, and train
her in housekeeping. All that she need
ed was to be taught. But-alas for the
"buts in this world-we had planned
a lovely summer at home. We had
talked about it all winter. We were
going up the ST. Lawrence, to see the
thousand Isles; to visit Montreal and

Earth's Angels.
I never saw an angel

never saw an angel
Except the one in books;
| don't believe a mortal
Knows how an angel looks.
We eguess at something misty,
With trailing wings of white.
With amber tresses floating,
And garments strangely bright.
But I believe earth's angels
Walk here in mortal gulse,
Though we discern but family
Through heavy lidded eyes.
can remember angels
Who seemed like common folks,
Who wore old fashioned bonnets,
And faded winter oloaks;
Who came when dire disaster
Crowned lesser home mishaps.
Or tired young claimants crowded
The dear maternal lap;
With curving arms wide open
To take the weary in,
With patient love to listen
To childish want or sim
What better things could angels
For childish sinners do.
Than listen to their story,
And bid them promise new
Il Ahluh VI III @ SAAE AhkAAo
Upon whose faded hair
There showed no crown of glory.
And yet theerown was there;
When tender love. true hearted.
Forgive the wrongs it knew.
And patient voice gave answer
The days of trials through.
All me the childish angel
Who beekons as | write
Perchance ! should not know him
In mystic robes of white.
He wears a school boys jacket,
And caps, and boots TO me;
And when we talk at twilight
His head rests on my knee.
There are dear mother-angels-
We each perchance know one
Whose robes of better glory
Are daily being spun.
With loving hands to guide us.
With loving speech TO cheer,
Said not well, earth's angels
Walk daily with US here J.?

Harvest Hymn.

Once more the liberal year laughs out
U'er richer stores than gems or gold
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is natures bloodless triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among her garnered sheayes;
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.
Oh. favors old yet ever new
Oh. blessings with the sunshine sentl
The bounty over-runs our due,
The fullness shames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom on,
We murmur but the corn ears fill;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts il shines behind us still.
God gives us with our rugged soil
The power 10 make il Eden fair,
Ard richer fruits to crown our toll.
Than summer welded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who seorns his native fruit and bloom,
Or sighs for dainties far away
Beside the bounteous board Of home?
Thank Heaven, instead, that Freedoms arm
Can change rocky soil to gold
That brave and generous souls can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And by these altars wreathed with flowers,
And fields with fruits. av AXE again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the later rain.

Nor THE MAN HE THoUGHT. Some
years ago young naval officer was dis
patched with message to Commodore
Stewart, then at his home in New Jersey.
When he reached the Commodore's coun-
try seat, he saw an old man hauling ma
nure from the barnyard. Supposing him
to be one of the hired hands, he ap-
preached and sung out " Helloa, old
fellow is the Commodore at home 2"
Yes,' responded the barefooted,
shabbily dressed man, "just walk up to
the house."
The officer strutted pompously to the
house, and was quickly seated in the
parlor. Soon after, perceiying the same
person passing by the window, he again
asked:
"Well, old man, how soon will the
Commodore be here 2"
"In very short time, now," quietly
answered the person addressed.
Presently this very same " old fellow
entered the room, and announced to the
horror struck messenger, "I am the
Commodore. What do you wish ?"
The astonishment on the young off,
GERS face can be better imagined than
described. He briefly delivered his mes
sage, and then received such " lecture"
from the Commodore as he was not like
ly to forget. After promising to respect
old age always afterward. he took his
departure, much wiser and much more
crestfallen than he came.

After while--a busy brain
viii rest from all its care and pain.

After while-A man forgot
A crumbled headstone-unknowns spot.
