BY ANNA G. BRACkETT
Hardly Il steamer that crosses the sea
But carries one traveller more.
For little time, out on the shorclcSs sea
Than she counted when leaving the shore.
Blown far away from his mate where She sings
BY the pitiless sea bound gale,
Lost and plying his patient wings
Till heart and courage fail;
Lost on the shoreless, unknown main,
Blinded with salt white spray,
Dazed with the endless, waving plain.
Scared by the lengthening way;
Lost on the sea and no land in sight
Through the heavy and misty ar
Struggling on through the dark and the light
To terror and mute despair:
Til on the horizon a cloudy speck
Clears To the mast like tree,
Clears to the solid and ground like deck
And he follows il Wearilv.
And cliugs and crouehes Il welcome guest.
An eager and trrmuous bird
With the green and blue on his neck and breast
BY his hearts hard painting stirred.
Then come pity and food and drink to the brim
And shelter from wave and cold
But the quick head droopS and the bright eyes
dim
And the story all is told
Pititul comfort vet comfort still
Not to drop in the hungry sea,
Keeling down out of the empty height
To that terrible agony.
Bitter and hard to be driven To roam
Between the sea and the sky
To find foot hold and warmth and home.
And thcn-only to die.
Yet ii was harder God HI knows,
Who counts the sparrows that fall,

rose.
When the sea and the Sky were all
When the sky bent down to Unfold the sea
And the sea reached up to the sky,
And between them only the wind blew rrc
And never Il ship went by

About Grating.

AS the season of grating is ut hand.
every one who is in possession Of healthy
fruit trees should see that they are of the
variety which he desires to have Cut
tlngs or sclOns of stone fruits should be
secured early, while the buds are vet dor
mant but apple and pear can be cut and
placed III other trees any time before the
leaf opens. The scions should be kept in
damp sand on sawdust to prevent drying
up: they will thus if cut early keep good
several months. In grating, limbs should
be cut from three-tourths to one and one
half inches in thickness. Cut off where a
clear split can be made. The scions (of
last years groWth) should be cut in lengths
of two or three buds, one bud being at or
near the top Of the shaped cut on the
scion inserted. Split the sawed stump TO
the best advantage. wedge open to the
extent which will receive the cutting with
a slight pressure: now select two cuttings
of equal size. and With sharp knife cut
a wedge on the lower end of each with Il
slope corresponding with the slope of the
crack in the stump opened for its reccp-
ton. Insert the cuttings by showing them
down in line with the grain of the wood.

the bark OF the cutting shall be as nearly
as possible united with the same line on
the stump: here, let it be recollected. is
the essential point, in order that this
union be made certain, and growth Sc
