Three Kisses of Farewell.

Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know
When we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer
Lavishes heat
But as they kiss whose hearts are wIung,
When hope and fear are SPENT
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacrament
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again;
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not nndes stand
How the written words are so much colder
Than eye and hand.
1 kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before it comes
For our loves sakel
The second kiss, my darling,
Isu fill of joys sweet thrin
We have blessed each other always
We always VIII.
We shall reach until we feel each other
Past all of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
l kiss thee, darling for all joy
Which we shall know.
The last kiss, o, my darling,
My love-I cannot see
Through my tears, as l remember
What it may be.
We may die and never see each Their,
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they will not see
Who see our parting BREATH
This one last kiss my darling, seals
The seal of death.

A MUTToN MILLIoNAIRE-The Kansas City
Times gives an account of a talk with Senior
P, c. ArmJo, Of the great sheep and wool
raising firm of Armljo & Baca, of Albuquer-
que, New Mexico. The Armiio family as
sert that they own nearly two million head
sheep, which are scattered over range Of
country more than three hundred miles
square.
In reply to question whether the Indians
troubled their immense herd, he replied ::
d" We are not troubled by Indian depreda-
tions to any serious extent. The Indians
are troublesome at times, but We scarcely
ever miss what they drive off or slaughter
They seldom kill our focks wantonly, and
only take for food when they pass one of our
herds He related an incident in 1885.
when the Apaches and Navajoes drove off
5000 head had been stolen by Indians since
then. The Indians drove off about halt that
number between 1861 and '65: But
said Mr.. Armijo, 1--WE hardly miss them"
The Mexican sheep-raiser generally handles
his herds in small focks Of about three thou
sand head. Each of these herds is under
the personal superintendent of major
domo or Overseer, who is assisted by shep-
herds, for whom the sheep have a fond affec-
ton. At night these immense hocks collect
close together around their shepherds and
sleep peacefully, guarded by well-trained
dogs.
The shepherds are paid from $40 to SIS
per month the year round and the overseer
about S25 per month. The herds roam al
will over the boundless dry plains of New
Mexico, without shelter, all the year through
They require no feeding, the short nutritious
9ramma grass, peculiar to New Mexico, al
fording good pasturage in winter as well as
summer.
Tie Mexican sheep are smaller than tie
American sheep, but are more healthy and
hardy. They clip about two pounds OF wool
to the fleece; their wool is short and fine,
and from all that can be ascertained by ira
dition handed down through several genera
tions, were pure Spanish merinos, brought
from Spain by Cortez's expedition. Ii is
the intention OF the sheep 1aisers of New
Mexico to improve their herds by direct i'm
portation of pure Spanish merlnos. 1t was
this errand that took Mr.. ArmiJo east this
fall. Several hundred head of fine sheep
were sent to him this summer, and with
proper crosses made, Mr.. Armijo expresses
himself confident of being able to produce
ing four and half pounds to each fleece
Mr.. ArmIJo's family nave sold upwards OF
1000 pounds of wool during the past year.
One of the family sold upwards of 1000
pounds OF wool last year at fOrtv-one cents
per pound. which Melted him the neat little
sum of S4l 900. The entire wool clip of
New Mexico is sent eastward through Kansas
City, over the Kansas Pacific.

in shipping large herds of sheep to Colorado,

LUTHER's SNow-SToRM.-Most of my
young readers probably do not know that
Martin Luther, one of the greatest and
best men that ever lived, was in his boy
hood SO poor that he went about the streets
OF the city singing songs for little money
to buy food to keep him from starving.
But he was faithful student, and deeply
pious, and God raised up friends tor him,
and made him, at last, the great and use
tul man that he was.
On cold, dark night, when the wind
was blowing hard, Conrad, worthy citi-
zen of a little town in Germany, sat play
ing his flute, while Ursula, his wife, was
preparing supper. They heard sweet
voice singing outside:
Foxes to their holes have gone,
Every bird into its nest;
But wander here alone,
And for ME there is no rest.
Tears filed the good mans eyes, as he
said, What pity it should be spoiled
by being tried in such weather"
think it is the voice Of child.
Let US open the door and see," said his
wife, who had lost little boy not long be-
fore. and whose heart was opened to take
pity on the little wanderer.
Conrad opened the door, and saw rag
ged child, whe said
"Charity, good sir, for Christ's sake"
"Come in, my little one said be.
{" You shall rest with me for the night"
The boy said, "Thank God J" and en-
tered. The heat Of the room made him
faint, but Ursula's kind care soon restored
him. They gave him some supper, and
then he told them that he was the son of
poor miner, and wanted to be priest.
He wandered about and sang, and lived on
the money people gave him. His kind
friends would not let him talk much, but
sent him to bed. When he was asleep
they looked in upon him, and were so
pleased with his pleasant countenance that
they determined to keep him, if he was
willing. In the morning they found that
he was only too glad to remain.
They sent him to school, and afterward
he entered monastery. There he found
the Bible, which he read. and from which
he learned the way of life. The sweet
voice of the little singer became the strong
echo of the good news, Justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ" Conrad and Ursula,
when they took that little street-singer in
to their house, little thought that they
were nourshing the great champion Of the
Reformation. The poor child was Martin
Luther BE not forgetful to entertain
strangers" The following is the whole OF
the song which Luther sang on that mem
orable night

brothers and sisters give themselves and
haby a world of trouble by their unfortu-
nate humping from one play to another
Little Goldilocks has just comprehended
the play that sister Lulu has devised for
her amusement, and is just becoming
greatly interested in it, when the things
are ali pushed aside, and Lulu, being her
self tired. proposes something else. The
same result follows, and little Goldllocks
gets cross, and the sisters are not as lov-
inc as they should be- But Lulu has not
been told that if she is amusing little SIS
ter she must be patient to have stupid
time, while little brains are laborlously
striving to understand the details winch
seem so plain to older ones. The fun
does not come to the lnfantile mind Till IL
has studied into the matter and compre-
hended it.
It is often said that "dirt" is healthy,
and that those children thrive who are
sent out to make mud-pies. mat may
be true; but I incline to think that the
"letting alone" should have good share
of the credit of health-giving.
Put comfortable clothing on your little
one. Give him room enough to expert
ment in the use of his arms and legs
where there are no pitfalls to entrap him.
Give him harmless things to play with,
the simpler the better, and then judi
ously let him alone and he will be more
likely to be amiable than if you bedcck
him with fine garments and put him in an
legantly-furnished room with delicately
constructed toys to play with, and two or
three grown people to take care OF him.

4 HOME PICTURE.

THE sun that brief December day,
Rose cherries over hills OF gray,
And, darby circled, gave at noon
a sadder light than waning moon.
Slow travelling down the thickening sky
Its mute and ominous prophecy,
4 potent seeming less than threat,
1t sank from sight before it set.
A chill no coat, however stout
OF homespun stuff, could quite shut cut,
A hard. duh, bitterness Of cold,
That checked. mid vein, the circling race
OF Likelihood in the sharpened face,
The coming of the snow-storm told.
The wind blew east; we heard the roar
OF ocean on his wintry shore,
And felt the strong pulse throbb1ng there
Beat with low rythm our Inland air.
Meanwhile we did our nightly chores
Brought in the wood from out Of doors,
Uttered the stalls, and from the mows
Rakcd down the herdsgrass for the cows;
Heard the horse whinnying for his corn;
And sharply clashing horn on horn,
Impatient down the stanchiOn rows
The cattle shake their walnut bows;
While. peering from his early perch,
Upon the scaaold's pole of birch,
The cock his crested helmet bent,
And down his querulous challenge sent.
ETnwarmed BY any sunset light,
The gray day darkened into night
4 night made ho&ry with the swarm
And whirl-dance of the binding storm,
IS 2igZig. wavering to and fro,
Crossed and rccrOssed the winged snow;
And ere the early bedtime came
The white drift piled the window frame,
And through the glass the clothes-line posts
locked III Ike tall and sheeted ghosts.
So all night long. the storm roared on;
Th morning broke without sun;
In tiny spherule traced with lines
OF Natures GcGmetrC signs,
II starry fake and pellice,
AL day the hoary meteor fell;
And when the second morning shone,
We looked t;OOn world unknown,
Or nothing could we call our own.
Around the gistening wonder bent
THE blue walls of the armament.
No cloud above, no earth below
4 universe Of sky and snow!
The Old familiar sights Of ours
Took marvellous shapes: strange domes and tow
Rose mp whore sty or corn-crib stood,
Or garden wall Or belt OF wood;
4 smooth vhite mound the brush plle-showed,
A feuccicss drift that once was road;
The hGidle-post an Old man sat,
With Ioose-fung coat and high cooked hat;
The weiI-curb had Chinese roof;
And even the long sweep, high aloof,
IN its slant splendor seemed to tell
Of Pisas leaning miracle.
