MISSING.

One little boy is missing
From the village green tonight;
One voice of merry laughter,
One footstep quick and light.
Playmates are sadly turning
From their pleasant sports away
For darling one is missing
They have no heart to play.
One little chair is empty
In cheerful cottage home,
AS round the table gather
The inmates one by one;
And parents, humbly kneeling
Before the throne of grace,
Pause with sobbing heartache,
For one upturned face.
One bounding step is missing,
AS up the chamber stair,
The little ones are climbing
After the evening prayer;
And one small bed untumbled,
With pillow soft and white,
For one dear child is missing
From your cottage home tonight.
One voice has joined the choir
In the angel song above;
One spirit bright and beautiful
Sings of redeeming love.
Look upward, fearful mourner,
And wipe your tears away,
Though little boy be missing
From your cottage home to-day.

THE JASMINE. We are told that Duke
of Tuscany was the first possessor of this
pretty shrub in Europe; and he was so jeal-
ously fearful lest others should enjoy what he
alone wished to possess, that strict injunctions
were given to his gardener not to give slip,
not so much as q single flower, to any person
To this command the gardener would have
been faithful, had not love wounded him by
the sparkling eye of fair but portionless
peasant, whose want of little dowry, and
his poverty, alone kept them from the hyme-
NAL altar On the birthday of his mistress
he presented her with nosegay, and to rem
der the boquet more acceptable, ornamented
it with branch of jasmine. The pouera
fglia, wishing to preserve the. bloom: Of this
new flower, putt into fresh earth, and the
branch remained green all the year. In the
following Spring it grew, and was covered
with flowers. 1t fourshed and multiplied 50
much under the fair nymph's cultivation,
that she was able to amass a little fortune
from the sale of the precious gift which love
had made her; when, with sprig of jasmine
in her breast, she bestowed her hand and
wealth on the happy gardener of her heart
And the Tuscan girls, to this day, preserve
the remembrance of this adventure, by inva-
riably wearing a nosegay of jasmine on their
wedding day; and they have proverb which
says young girl worthy of wearing this nose
gay is rich enough to make the fortune of a
good husband. pei. ....- ..n.,s

THE WOMAN WHO NEVER GOssIPS.

Oh no, never gossip. have enough to

be worn out but no, there's no danger OF
that Ifeverybody was like me there wouldn' t

Elliott had got new silk dress, Mrs. Smith
You didn'tf Well, she has. It's real bro
cade; saw it myself; and I say it's a shame for
her to be so extravagant. l mean to give her
piece of my mind, Mrs Smith. You believe
her uncle gave it to her? Well, don't care
if he did. Why, it's only two months since her
father failed; and now to see her dash out in
that style! It's burning shame. lsnppose
she thinks she's going to catch young lawyer
Jones, but think she'll find herself mistaken.
He's got more sense than to be caught by her,
if she has got a brocade silk dress: And
there's that upstart dressmaker, Kate Manly,
setting her cap for the doctors son. The im-
pertinence of some people is perfectly aston
ishiug. I don't think she's any better than
she ought to be, for my own part. | never

apybody's about. My word for it, she can

she says she is only seventeen Goodness
knows she is as old as my Arabella Lucretia &;
and she's-well, I won't say how old, but
she's morn seventeen, and amt ashamed
to say so either but think Doctor Mays
son will have more discretion than to think of
marrying her. Some folks call her handsome.
Well, | don't. She amt half so good look
ing as my daughter Jane. Then the way
she does up her hair in such hyaway curls
and, if YOU believe it, Mrs Smith, she actually
had the impudence to tell me that she couldn't
make her hair as straight as Maria's. I'm.
pertinence! Ifshe'd let curling papers and
curling irons alone, I'd risk but what her hair
would be as straight as anybody's. But what
do you think of the minister's wife, Mrs.
Smith? You like her! Well, all | can
say is, you've got a peculiar taste. Why,
she's as proud as Lucifer-been married a
whole week and hasn't been to see me yet.
You presume she hasn't had timer don't
see what the minister wanted to 60 out of
town to get him wife for, anyway, and then,
above all things, to get that little grlish look
ing thing! There's my Arabella Lucretia
would have made him better wife than he's
got now. And she's just about the right age
for him. What do you say THAT Arabella
Lucretia is two years older than the minis
ter? I should think it was a pity if didn't
know my own daughters age. Mrs. Smith,
if some folks would mind their own business
as do, I'd thank them.

DIFFICULTY IN CHURNING.-Cream grows
more difficult to churn as the distance from
the time of calving increases, and the Difficult
ty is enhanced by feeding late cut or ripe
fodder. If early cut hay and roots are used
for winter food there will be no trouble with
churning in Winter, though it will require
little more time than when the cows live on
grass and are nearer the time of coming in.
The ease of churning cream depends chiefly
on the size of the fat globules of which the
cream is composed. These are largest in the
early part of the milking season, and grow
smaller as the period of milk giving is pro-
longed. Other circumstances being equal,
the fat globules are largest when the COW has
food rich in fat, such as cotton-seed meal,
oil.cake, green grass or corn meal. They
are small when COWS are kept on straw, dead
ripe corn stalks, late cut hay, etc., especially
when they have been in milk long time
