GBEEN CROPS FOR FERTILIZERS.

Nature gives US taree plants peculiar
" adapted for fertilizing worn-out lands,
viz: Peas, clover and buckwheat; Of these
Clover is most used, and is best known. but
a. crop, on very badly used land. il j.
hardly equal to either peas or buckwheat.
Peas will DO better on poorer land than
either Of the ctbers, and can be followed
the second season most probably by buck
fshrat, after which clover will thrive well.
The best way to utilize either peas or
buekwhezt is to SOW broadcast In June,
and turn under, with large two or three
horse plow. the vines or stalks when in fall
bloom. aud just before the maturity Of the
seed begins. In this way all the phosphorus
nitrogen and csrbOnis acid, which the plants
have gathered from the atmosphere. is abb
sorbed b. the loosed soil. which thereby
obtains boun.iful supply Of phosphate
food for all kinds Of cereals.
Lands that are too thin TO produce
good crop Of peas or buekwheat, can be
afst treated to crop Of rye, which should
be sogn 10 the carly fall. and turned un-
der. with large plow. in the green state.
m Nay following. This fits il for the re-
ccption Of either peas or buckwheat in June.

one GEAR by allowing the first crop 70 be-
come ripe and then turn them under with
small p.ows, and do the same with the Sc
cond crop. only use large ploss just be-
fore the frost Of October.

HIS MESS NGER,

Najorie with the waiting taoe,
Majorie with the pale brown hair,
She sits and sews in the silent place,
She counts the steps on the outer stair.
Two, three, four-they pass her door,
The patient face droops low again
Still it is as it was before
Oh! will he come indeed no more,
And are her prayers all prayers in vain!
Through the warm and the winter night,
Majorie with the wistful eyes,
She keeps her lonely lamp alight
Until the stars are dim in the skies.
Through the gray and the shining day
Her paid fingers, swift and slim,
Set their stitches, nor one astray,
Though her heart it is tar away
Over the summer seas with him.
Over the distant summer seas
Majorie's yearning tancies fly;
She feels the kiss OF the island breeze,
She sees the blue OF the tropio sky.
Does she know, as they come and 20,
Those waves that lap the island shore,
That under their ceaseless ebb and flow
Golden locks float to and fro
Tangled locks she will comb no more?
Many hopeless hope she keeps,
Marjorie with the aching heart;
Sometimes she smiles, and sometimes sh,
At thoughts that all unbidden start.
/ can see what the end will be;
Some day when the Master sends for her,
A voice she knews will say joyfully,
"God is waiting for Marjorie'-
And her lover will Ike His messengerl

BY his second marriage Michelet
had but one child, boy, who was
taken from them at an early age, and
when his wife expressed wish to
have him baptized, it was he who
went in search of the priest. His
most precious souvenirs were a bible
and prayer-bo0k, together with the
aforementioned "Invitation'' that
had once belonged to his mother.
That mother had been buried by
her husband, on hired ground, and
when Michelet came to years of reason
he searched in vain for the spot where
he might know the mother who had
borne him lay. Throughout his life
he showed respect to the resting-place
of others, and yet he died refusing to
receive the last consultations of relig-
ion, or to allow a prayer to be said
above his tomb!
His last moments were occupied in
sad reflections upon the political state
of France, and his last words were a
strange contradiction to his latter life.
Those around him thought never more
to hear his voice, when suddenly he
opened his eyes and said distinctly:
''They should have fed Henry V.
with lions marrow"
Nine. Michelet, after a moments
silence, asked him-why!
Because he would have had a war,
rior's temperament"
Many different interpretations have
been given to these words, but we
must not overrate their value. Mich
elet was, above all, a historian, and,
independent of his personal sympa-
thies, it is natural that his mind, dwell.

chain of traditions once 50 dear to
France.
