EERhB OF life Is steep to climb,

The corn is yet 10 grow;

COmtn' Thro' the Rye.

A New York pictorial publishes an illus
tration of Comm thro' the Rye" and blum
deIs into what we presume IS the popular
misconception of the ditty, giving laddie
and lassle meeting and kissing in n field of
grain. The lines
If a laddle meet lassie
Comm thro the rye
and especially the other couplet:
A the lads they smile on me
When comm thro' the rye"
seem to imply that traversing the rye was a
habitual or common thing, but what in the
name OF the Royal Agricultural Society could
be The object In tramping down a field OF
grain in that style, The song perhaps sug,
gests a harvest scene, where both sexes, as is
the custom in Great Britain, are at work reap
ing, and where they would come and go
through the field indeed, but not through the
rye itself so as to meet and kiss in ii. The
truth is the rye in this case is no more grain
than Rye beach is, it being the name of a
small, shallow stream near Ayr, IN Scotland,
which. having neither bridge nor ferry, was
forded by people going TO and from the mar
ket, custom allowing lad to steal a kiss from
any lass Of his acquaintance whom he met
midstream. Our contemporary will see that
this is the true explanation, if he will refer
to Burns's original ballad, in which the first
verse refers to the lass wetting her clothes in
the stream:
Jennie is a wat puir bodie;
Jennei.s seldom dry;
She drag'lt a her petticoatie,
Comm thro the rye.

Mrs. Fawcett, in her new move, tells
Of . precocious infant who developed
. marvellous originality in extempor-
aneous prayer. When she said her
prayers at her mothers knee. having
been told that she was not to learn any
form of prayer, but to ask for what
ever she most desired, she prayed for
"a red cloak wiy velvet buttons, sxaetly
like Amy -Gsey's.- We're Is anothef
at ye shop
Then, when Instructed not to ask
for material, but for spiritual blessings,
her Interpretation of spiritual bless
ing was that there might always be
short sermons in church. When she
had scarletina, and her mother had
begged her te pray for her recovery,
she having been teld that when she
was beginning to get better her skin
would peel of, and when lit was ill
on she would be quite well, joined her
little hands in bed and said in a soft
voice, % God, peel me quick"
