Poetry.
~~NO-Nc-NNN~NN'
LONG AGO.
BY JOHN FRAZIER.

Blue was the sky above our head,
And green the grasses under foot,
The flowers their sweetest perfume shed,
And blushed the rose from stem to root.
What time we wandered, hand in hand,
BY country lanes and fragrant walks,
In that dear, dim, enchanted land
OF love and light and happy talks
The land, yon know,
Of Long Ago,
Where you was belle and was beau.
The sunniest smile, the bonniest face,
That ever flushed at touch of lip;
The queenliest form in all the place,
Beyond hope Of rivalship;
The neatest foot that ever brushed
The dew from off the mountain heather.
We're thine, Clarette, what time we crushed
The purple grapes of life together
That time, you know,
Long, Long Ago.
When you was belle and I was beau.
Well, well! how fast the years have rolled!
IT'S more than thirty DEAR since then,
And you-ahem !-are stout and old,
And l. the goutiest of men.
We have been all these years apart
You did me cruel wrong Clarette-
But still fluttering at my heart
Atheists that do not quite forget
The love, you know,
OF Long Ago,
When you was belle and was beau.

THERE is not man ON earth, however
humble, who IS blank; there is not one

q blessing; you cannot be neutral; neu-

THREE-FOURTHs Of the difficulties and
miseries of men come from the fact that
most want wealth without earning it, fame
without deserving it, popularity without
temperance, respect without virtue, and
happiness without holiness. tlt

INDUSTRY is indispensable to ha ppiness
at whatever stage of our existence, and to
retire out of ones accustomed occupation
is to retire into misery, as many man has
found to his lasting SORROW.

To UNDERSTAND the world is wiser
than to condemn it; to study the world is
better than to abuse it; to make the world
better, lovelier and happier is the highest
work of man.

NEVER put much confidence in such as
put no confidence in others. A man prone
to suspect evil is mostly looking IN his
neighhor for what he sees in himself.

over her. 1t was like taking leave of the

dead.
| Then Mary Tregerman held her son 8
wife in close embrace, saying, 'My God
hear my prayer for my childrenl'' and thus
Eunice went out into the dark and storm.
Two boats went out, but Eunice went in
Ben's; he would not trust her with anoth-
er. While he managed his boat strong
young sailor lad held Eunice securely in
her seat by putting one arm about her
waist And on they went, now plunging
deep, as though into nethermost darkness,
and again seemingly dashed up into the
black abyss of sky, as some mountain wave
took them on it's pointed crest.
I Eunice felt no fear but the one that she
might never see her husband IS face again.
BILE, though every now and then he leaned
toward her in the dark and tou ched her,
as though for reinsurance.
The wind and sea were at furious war
with each other, and to row meant a thing
of almost superhuman effort. Now and
then sailor gave out, exhausted, and an
other took his place. The black waves
dashed over them one moment the boat
seemed to stand upright in the water, the
next it sunk so low that it seemed to be
submerged.
How long they had been out Eunice did
not know, when all at once she was con-
scious of change about her. A wild,
hoarse shout went up from the men,
Straining her eyes in the dark she saw
bearing down toward them another boat.
Then old Ben's voice, like a trumpet,
pierced through the awful din, "All safe,
my lads ?"
''Aye, aye' ~
Whose voice was that which had respon-
ded to old Ben? The strained tension of
Eunice's nerves gave away, and with cry
she fell back in the sailors arms.
A week after this Eunice Tregerman re-
gained consciousness to find The sun shin
ing into her little room from across the
sea and with the dulce. like odor of the
air was mingled the fragrance of the sum-
mer roses in her little strip of garden. A
brown faced, brown bearded man, with
suspicion of tears in his eyes, was watch
lug her.

To Cook BEANs.-When beans are KEEP
over year or more they become rather
difficult to cook tender. One way to ac-
complish it is to soak them over night in
soft water, and in the morning put them
to boil, putting quarter of a teaspoonful
of soda into the water. The water must
be turned off as soon as it boils, and
changed two or three times Have a tea
kettle Of boiling water ready to cover them
when the other is poured off, as cold water
hardens them again. After they begin to
crack open they should be put in the oven
with piece of pork previously freshened
and water enough to prevent them from
burning, and baked a couple of hours
Beans are healthful and convenient dish
and should often appear ON farmers Ia

tablespoonful of vinegar, one tablespoonful

till it becomes white.

PROFITS FROM TWELVE FowLs.-The
following are the profits from twelve pull

hens were Buff Cochins not pure, and six

net profit, $22. Six hens were set on eggs
and others had to be broken up. The black
were the best layers, and did not set at all,
but their eggs we're little smaller than
the others. They were confined in small
inclosure lin the village) and were let out
every two or three days for an hours pick
ing in the grass, just before going to roost.
Their feed was almost entirely wheat
screenings, with scraps from the house,
and occasionally fresh meat in the winter.
The black hens were inclined to be wild
and steal their nests, some OF them some
times changing their place Of laying two
or three days in succession. The Buff Co.
chlns are large and bungllng, and in sit
ting are almost sure to break good part
of their eggs, and they are not as good for
the table.

JEALoUsY.-Jealousy is feeling that is
common to every mans heart. 1t takes
hold of the sacred affections and tears
them to shreds. 1t causes strife where love
should prevail. 1t turns the heart of man
into raging fire, seeking to burst forth.
and devour even the object Of its love. It
causes man to hate his brother and wish
if not seek his destruction. 1t makes DESC
lation where once grew the flowers and the
fruits of happiness and prosperity. How
we should fight against this evil. How we
should seek to crush it in it's incipiency
and suffer it to gain no hold upon our
natures,

Unbolted flour should be kept i'll kegs or

Molasses, if bought by the barrel OF half

kept in a demijohn. No vessel should be
corked or bunged, if filled with molasses,
as it will swell and burst the vessel, or run
