ALICE GARY's SWEETEST POEM.

Of all the beautiful pictures
That hang on memOry's wall,
Is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth best of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the viOlets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
CoquettIng all day with the sunbsanns,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sweet cOwsli
1t seemeth to me the best.
i once had n little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that olden forest
He lIeth in peace asleep:
Light as the down OF the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes
l made for my little brother
A bed OF the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face:
And when the arrows of sHnset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
The one Of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.

UNCLE NED'S TALK TO HIS NIECES,
From the Woman's Journal

rom the W oman 5 journal.
The other day when | was waiting
at my son Johns door a merry lassie
from the next house was chatting in
the parlor with a young man, who is
quite beau for all the ladies, all at
once he pulled her downin his lap ard
kissed her, land she did not seem angry
at all. L suppose am too "old-fash-
/ ioned" in my ideas, but it did not
look well. Ii L was going to marry
that girl [ should not like to think
such fellows had kissed her when
they chose. tell you, girls, such
doings are in bad taste. They are
in bad taste. They are ill-bred, if
not improper.
Suppose the man is respectable and
means nothing bad. Such familiari-
ties are like brushing off the delicate
dew from the grape by careless hand
ling. Keep your sweetness for the
real lover, and let Tom, Dick and
Harry understand, "hands off," You
can be. gracious aud winning and
lively, and yet repel personal liber-
ties. some gentlemen can never do
anything for you, never offer court
esy nor show an attention, without
touching your hand, taking you by
the shoulder, or getting hold of you
in some way. They are not men of
genuine delicacy and reverence for
women. They are fond of ladies
society, but they don make women
better, nobler or purcr.
Look out for the iAan who wants
to make "sister" Of you. What
right has he to use all lovers free
dom and intimacy Of Intercourse.
and give you only the thousaudth
part of his heart Such man has
usually great many sisters. Your
carcsses and atfectionate familiarity
are great deal more than he gives
yon in return. Frank and friendly
and helpful you may be, and vel
keep a maiden!y reserve of your
favOrS.
Aud beware of the man who talks
love to you, and so claims right to
cares9eS and familiar freedom, vet
never asks you to marry him. a
lover, who never means to be hus-
band, Is a mean man. He pretends
not t. believe i'll engagements, and so
docs not bind himself i'll any wav,
but expects from you all q lovers
You give him everything
and he gives you-what he has given

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

That sheep can save poor farms
from utter ruin, and improve the
condition Of good farms is beyoud a
doubt. However much we NAV prize
the COW and horse for their very val
liable services to mankind, st Ii we
must admit that the keeping of sheen
IS very profitable to the farmer, in
that 1T brings money to his pocket,
and improves the condition of his
land. Experience has shown that
sheep husbandrY is directly protita-
bic. There are no losses, and very
few risks to be met with in the bus.
mess. Early lambs, fat wethers,
wool and pelts, always bring good
prices and find ready market. Be-
sides, sheep bring up the condition
Of the farm, and as the old adage has
1T, "turns the earth to gold wRerey-
er their footprints are found" Moth
ing will improve a farm so well as
a course of husbandry in sheen, well
selected and judiciously followed.
Sheep can be made the salvation of
poor farm, and if our farmers
would keep more sheep.a larger share
OF prosperity would be the result.

THE LAND OF THE MISSING.

In one of William Blacks novels he
makes one of his people vaguely describe
land which lay across the sea, to which
had fled all who were numbered among
the missing, who there lived untram-
melted by the follies or misfortunes of
the past. But the land of the missing
does not always care for it's children.
Sad wrecks go down in the surging seas
which surrounded it. One case, saddest
of all in the compass of memory, pre-
sents itself. A boy, an only child, the
idol of wealthy and cultured parents,
started for school one morning with his
mothers good-by kiss warm upon his
lips and his books in his hands and never
returned. He was only 8 years old, was
as handsome as cherub, and was known
everywhere among his acquaintance as
a good boy. He was effeminate in nature
and meyer, ordinarily, ventured upon
boyish escapades. He was to have a
rabbit for his dinner, and he asked, as
a favor, that it might be s'stewed with a
heap of gravy" The dinner was pre-
pared, but he never came to eat it.
There had been nothing to make him
dissatisfied with his surroundings and
encourage theidea that he had runaway.
Sixteen years later his father and moth
er met him on a Mississippi River
STEAMBOAT, bloated, drunken, profane,
brutal gambler. Death would have kept
him beautiful and lovable child, but
the land of the missing sent him back a
ruined soul.-IadiGnapolis Herald.
