The Farmers Front Yard;

Most farmers, even the poorest of them,
have desire for trees, plants and flowers.
They enjoy a wellkept place. II is
very rare thing to find q front yard with
out some attempt at ormentation. The
shrubs and flower beds and the grass are
often neglected and allowed to struggle
with each other in their own way Some
work is occasionally done at odd intervals
A small spot is dug in the grass for sim
gle rose-bush, another for small Spiraa
one for a Lilac, another tor P;rony, and
perhaps several others, two or three feet
across. for small beds of flowers. In this
manner the grass plot is broken up and
frittered away by numerous single plants
or small beds scattered all oyer the yard
Except, perhaps for few vines we
should set plants little away from the
house. Besides this, for unpretending
yards Dy farm houses, we suggest plan
which at less cost, we think, will make
the yards look better than they now lock.
The ground for the lawn should be
nicely graded and enriched, taking care
IN most cases to preserve the natural gen

Sagacity of a Pair of Swallows.

At Rosenberg, in the neighborhood Of
Graz, a pair Of swallows had built their
nest in the floor of a peasants house.
When the door was closed, the only en-
trance to the room was through the win
dow near by. One evening at harvest
time all the inhabitants of the house
went to the meadows situated at the foot
of The mountain, almost two miles dis
tant from the dwelling. The wife forgot
to leave the window of the cottage open,
and scarcely was the work of harvesting
under way, when pair of swallows flew
around her with loud twitterings, hitting
her on the head and shoulders with their
wings. At last it occurred to the woman

Daily Dying.

The maple does not shed its leaves
In one tempestuous scarlet rain,
But SOFTLY when the south wind grieves,
Slow, wandering over wood and plain
One by one they waver through
The Indian Summers hazy blue,
And arop at last on the forest mold,
Coral and ruby, and burning gold.
Our death is gradual like these:
We die with every waning day,
There is no watt of sorrows breeze
But bears some heartbeat slow away:
Up and on to the vast To Be,
Our life is going eternallv!
Less of life than we had last year
Throbs in your veins and throbs in mine
But the way to heaven is growing clear,
And the gates of the city fairer shine:
And the day that our latest treasures flee
Wide they will open for you and me.

Regret.

/ did not love him: Long ago,
Instead of yes, gave him No.
I did not love him, but to-day,
read his marriage notice. Pray,
Why was I sad, when never yet
Has my heart known the leastregret
Over that whispered No? and why,
Reading the notice, did sigh?
No analyst can guess the cause;
A woman's reason laughs at laws.
Sure, am glad to know the wound
I gave is healed; that he has found
Loves blessedness and peace; and yet
To-day I seem to see him stand
With every glance mute caress,
Still pleading for the longed-for Yes.
His early love for me is dead
Another lives in that loves stead:
And if he loves her well, as men
Should love their chosen ones, Why,thel
He must be glad that long ago,
Instead of Yes, gave him No.
Perhaps that is the reason why
I read the notice with a sigh.

Andrew Hornor and Burns were pltted
