And what you ought not to do you will,

And talons sharp as needle too.

AND now you find that having your way
Is not as nice as it seemed to be,

That there are but few
Children SO obstinate, needless, and wild
AS you, who will not learn to obey.
What now? Well, really, that is too bad!
I'll tell your mamma when she comes
You ought to be whipped and put to bed
ANA Kept while on water and bread;
You're almost enough to drive me mad,
And make me tear
My hair in despair;
you've broken your mas new tortoise

You laugh, butyou CHIT to cry instead
Many the children that have known.
But you are the very worst of them all:
You always are doing something wrong
And when you are still it's not for LONG:
But there go on! I'll let you alone,

And foolish papa
Will soon return, and then. sir. shall
Undress you and lull you to sleep with

To ee, Kia Of RAT. v,tnout po,.o,

A German paper gives the following
method OF doing this: Having first for
some days placed pieces Of cheese in the
part OF the premises, SO as to induce tha
rats to come in great numbers to their
wonted feeding place, piece of cheese is
hxed on q hook ABOUT foot above
the floor. One rat leaps at this. and Of
course c. remains suspended. Here al all
the other rats take sudden fright and
quit the house in body" Perhaps yam
kee rats are not SO easily frightened.

You cannot build a house on the tons

to represent God, then must it fill its

White Jasmine.

White jasmine stretches far and wide,
Along the gray wallis southern side
Its graceful branches wreathe;
And winds OF Summer sweet and low,
Among its verdure and its snow,
Their tender music breathe.
The garden beds that once were gay
And fragrant all the Summer day,
Are empty and forlorr;
The hungry bees afar have flown,
The gravel walks are weed o'grown,
The trellis-rose is torn.
Within the house each empty room
Is shut in silent, rayless gloom,
With cherries hearthstone cold;
No pictures smile upon the wall,
No single trace is left of all .. ..4.-.s
We cherished so of old.
But in the southern sunshine bright,
And by the jasmine, clad in white,
A youthful maiden stands,
With lips that speak of sad unrest;
A bunch of daisies on her breast,
And jasmine in her hands.
With farewell looks of aching love,
Her brown eyes wander round, above,
1t is sacred spot;
The home of childish grief and mirth,
The home whence dearest dead went forth
10 share earthS common lot.
All, maiden! as the jasmine snow
Doth vanish SO the years that 60
Will take this grief away;
Will give thee older woes as sure,
As strong, and deep-if not so pure
AS this of thine to-day.
Yet let the daisies on thy breast,
Teach thee that life's securest rest,
In humble paths doth lie;
And let the jasmine in thine hand,
Whisper of tairer blossoms famed
BY sweetest airs on high.
Fear not to muse when far away,
How Summer sunshine gilds each day
These lonely garden bowers;
How sweetly yet the thrushes call,
How climb about the gray old we'll,
Thine own loved jasmine flowers.
So may the memory of this home,
Thy first and dearest ever come
With healing strength to thee;
10 mind thee by it's vanished grace,
Of one prepared abiding place,
From sound of farewell free!

WHY 1T PAYS FARMERS TO READ

The following has been contributed by
friend who vpry protitabIy improved a
few idle hours, in brain work:
Ones physical tramc-his body, muS-
clcs and limbs-is only a living machine,
the mind Controlinga and directing, giving
it power and efficiency. The successful
use Of the body depennS wholly upon the
mind; upon its ability to direct well. II
one ties his arm in sling it finally be-
comes weak and powerlc,s; kept in active
service, and i: acquires vigor and strength
and is disciplined TO Use this strength rs
desired. Just so ones mind. by active
exercise in thinking, reasoning, planning
studying and observing, acquires visOr
and power Of concentration and direction.
Plainly. then, the man who exercises his
mind in reading and thinking gives it in-
creased power and efficiency, and greater
ability to direct the efforts OF his physical
framc-hS wOrk-to better results, than
he can who merely or mainly uses his
muscles.
or all men the farmer, the cultiyator,
needs TO read more and think more, to
strengthen his reasoning powers so that
they may help ont and make more ctirc-
tive, more practical, his hard toll. There
can be no doubt that the farmer who sup
plies himself with the most reading. the
most of other mems thoughts and expert
enccs, will in the end if not at once be the
most successful
THE mind makes the man" is a trite
saying. How much above the brute who
tolls with him is the man who merely
works. eats, sleeps and cares for his prog
cny? The brute does all this. The man
rises in dignity, in sclt-reSpc,t, and in the
