Or see him fighting, hear him cursing. every

Did you ever hear the drunkard utiering dread

TIL your thoughts were all bewiIdered, and

Did you ever see the drunkArd, in his sad and
wretched home,
Where his wife and suffering children were
afraid to have him come.
Did you ever see a drunkard, bruised and
msngled by his fall
And in wild deirium tremens, hear him on

Have you seen HIM strike his wife. and Kick
his children out OF doorss
And did their cries and groans distress you as
be laid on heavy blows:
And did you pity the poor drunkarl. in his

Now's the time for men and women, who the

To labor hard to SAFE the drunkard. and his

There is nothing better for covering,
as a protection against frost, than forest
leaves, with the single exception, per-
haps of eel grass: and as this latter ma
terial is only to be had abundantly and
conveniently near the beaches, where
il washes up, there are very many gar
deners who are forced 10 use leaves as
covering to their celery pits. hoibed
frames, strawberry beds. and in any
other place that needs protection from
severe frost, as beds of Winter cabbage
and root pits. To prevent the leaves
from blowing of from the place where
they are laid, little brush, or some
corn stalks, or any like substance, NAV
be loosely scattered over them.
Now is the time to gather the leaves,
when they are freshly fallen from the
trees and before some enterprising nigh
boz gets the first chance. A hay rig
ging, with few old boards to build up
the sides, is a good thing to haul them
home in, and two or three large, three
bushel baskets are the best things TO
load with. A couple of BOYS on the
wagon will empty the baskets and
tramp the load, and find it almost as
good fun as gathering nuts.
AS litter for all sorts of animals,
leaves are very useful, and are worth
all they cost as manure, especially on
such soils aud for such crops as need
potash as a fertilizer. The manure
made from oak leaves is the best of all,
and. after them, maple, beach, ash and
elm come in the order nsmed. Pine
leaves are nearly worthless as manure.
Leaves make a good fermenting ma
terial TO mix with horse dung. in max
ing hot-bed. For this purpose, how
ever. they need moisteuing, and a con-
venient way to prepare them for the
hot-bed is TO use them to litter the
horses used on the farm, and to mix the
leafy litter thus obtained with strawy
manure drawn from city stables. This
mixture is better than her used separ-
aieIy.-Erchange.

Oshikoii Nobutaro was young Japan
Be noble who found himself quite disillu-

ariety of travel nor the achievement of
literary distinction were pleasing to him,
and he retired, prey to- unutterable
WEAKNESS, to the ancestral abode on the
beautiful shores of Lake Biwa, hoping 10
ind at least tranquility. The tale Of the
Toxic Times proceeds:
In the time of the second gathering of
tho tea, the mildest and fairest Of the
year, when the trees begin to fill with lit
tie nests, and when all nature trembles
md bushes with conscious warmth, Iriye
[chigoro ordered couple Of norimoRo,
and started off to Biwa to take counsel
with his exiled friend. he found Nobu-
Earo in the fields at the base of HI Yei
Ian, practicing the enlivening pursuit eff
hawking. The greetings Of the young
men were polite and decorous, and their
conversation, which turned upon various
subjects, was at once exhilarating and
instructive.
Towards the close Iriye introduced the
topic which most closely interested him.
''Nobutaro, there is maiden" said he.

faro.
