THE TWO HOMES.
BY BAYARD TAYIcn,

Ny home was seated high and fair,
Upon mountain s side;
The day was longest, brightest there;
Beneath, the world was wide.
Across it's blue. embracing zone
III, rivers CLEANED, the cities shone,
lnl over the edge Of the fading rim
l saw the storms in the distance dim
And the fash of the soundless thunder.
But weary grew the sharp, cold whine
OF winds that never kissed,
The cbangelcss gree n of fir and pine,
The giay and clinging mist.
Above the granite sprang no bowers;
The soil gave low and scentless flowers
And the drone and din of the waterfall
Became challenge, taunting call:
+" Ills fair, It's fair in the valley!'
OF all the homesteads deep and far
My fancy chung to one,
Whose gable burned, mellow star,
Touched by the sinking sun.
Unseen around, but not nnguessed,
The orchards made leafy nest;
The tnrf before it was thick. knew,
And bees were busy the garden through,
And the windows were daIx with roses.
"'Tis happier there, below" sighed;
And closer love and comfort bide,
That cannot reach me here.
Who master is must be SO best
He'll share with me his sheltered nest,
II down to the valley / should go,
Leaving the granite, the pines and snow,
And the winds that are keen MS lances"
wandered down, by ridge and dell;
The way was rough and long;
Though earlier shadows round me fell,
cheered them with my song.
The worlds great circle narrow grew,
Till edge and thicket hid the blue;
But over the orchards near at hand,
The gable sbone on the quiet land,
And far away was the mountain!
Then came the master; monrnful- eyed
And stern of brow was he.

'Spare hut the least to me-"
"Who seeks" be SAID, This brooding haze,
The tameness of these weary days?

The woods that fett.r the Young wind feet
And hide the world and it's beauiy?"
lie stretched his hand he looked afas
With eyes of old desire;
saw my home, mellow star
That held the sunsets fire.
"But Wonder home. he cried "how fair
It's chambers burn like giId,d air;
know that the gardens are wild as dreams,
With the sweep of winds, the dash of
streams,
And the pines that sound as an antht I'm!

1t sits, when the clonds are furIed,
And knows the hauty Of the sky,
The glory of the world!

Leaving the dust and the glare below,

BURNING HAY,

Mr.. Hoyt, Of Elk Township, has IN.
his house fireplace constructed for
burning hay. 1t is built Of brick and
is from seven to nine feet high, with a
flue which, after ascending, descends
to the bottom Of the structure and re-
ascends again, SO that there is little
waste of heat through the flue. This
:oven-like fireplace has large opening
in the front into which good-sized
sheaf of "slew" grass or hayma be put
without breaking bulk, and when the
brick structure is once heated, but lit
tie fuel is required for the rest of the
day. 1t throws off heat and keeps the
room warm through the night.
We have before intimated that all we
need in this section to make hay-burn-
ing popular and agreeable is stoves or
fire-places adapted to this peculiar fuel.
Many of our people expect to get
through the winter with very little if
any other fuel, and those who have be-
come accustomed to burning hay prefer
it for baking and for purposes requir-
ing a quick, hot fire. Hay is just as
dignitied and respectable as wood or
coal, if we can Only think so. The
time will come when we shall laugh at
our folly in letting these luxuriant
grass crops go to waste, when they can
be utilized, not only in feeding vast
herds of cattle, but in furnishing us
cheap fuel, and making snow-tight and
comfortable stables for our stock.

DIR. Barber called on us a few even

DR.. Barber called on us a few even
ings since to inquire why we did not say
more about the entertainment given by
the Grand Army on Thanksgiving
night. He supposed it was because of
our hostility to the Grand Army.''-
Hostility' is good! Now, it is high
time to end this tomfoolery about our
being hostile to the Grand Army. A
mong it's members we count some of our
warmest friends, but, on the other hand,
there are one or two of our personal en-
emies in the Post who are always seek
ing to create the impression that the
ADVANCE is hostile to the Grand Ar
N.Y." These gentlemen seem to have
no private grievances. Grieve them,
and they think you grieve the Grand
Army: Offend them, and they feel that
the Grand Army is offended.
Last Spring, when the Post celebrat-
ed Decoration Day, we showed our
'*hostility by printing two column
report, giving Major Bells speech in
full. Last Fourth of July, which was
celebrated under the auspices of the
Post, We again showed our hostility -
by printing column report. Recently
we became still more HOSTILE" and re-
quested member to write full history
Of Stoddard Post for publication in our
paper, and he promised to do 50. And,
worst and most "hostile" of all, last
Thanksgiving night we attended their
supper and made personal attack on
the baked beans, which were superb,
thus Quitting our vengeance Tor what.
ever you call it, to our stomach's con.
tent. Thus, in various ways and on
sundry occasions, we have shown our
hostility to the Grand Army"
