is well known truth, and brings to
mind the following story: ga man in a
forest was building a canoe. along came
traveller and told him he was shaping
the bow altogether wrong, and advised
him how to fix it. The man changed
it, and the traveller passed on. Present.
ly along came another traveller, and
stopped to watch the progress, sug-
gested some other Improvement, which
the man made. Not long after third
came and also rendered his, which was
accepted. The man having finished the
canoe after the wishes of the travellers,
suspended it from tree, and commenced
to make another after his own ideas: SO
when the fourth traveller came along and
asked him why he did this and that, the
man looked up quietly and said. ''See
here stranger, this Is my canoe; there's
everybody's canoe up in that tree"

The oak in the middle of the forest,
if surrounded on every side by trees that
shelter and shade it, runs up tall and
sickly; put it away from its protectors
and the first blast will overturn it. But
the same tree, growing in the open field,
where it is continually beat upon BY the
tempest, becomes its own protector. So
the man who is compelled to rely upon
his own resources forms an independence
of character which he could not other
wise have attained.

COWSLIPS.

Young spring has dasied all the meads.
And flecked the rustling river reeds
With dancing daffodills;
The bluebells carpet every dale.
And primrose blossoms sweet and pale,
Peep out beside the rills.
On hillside meadows in the sun.
The little children leap and run.
Or chase from flower to flower
The frail, white-winged butterflies,
That underneath Springs sunny skies
Enjoy their little hour.
And over all the meadows green
The yellow cowslip blooms are seen;
The children part in bands;
With eager glee and laughing toll,
They rush to grasp the golden spoil.
Most wealth for children's hands.
Their peals of silver laughter float
Towards me, mingled with the note
OF thrushes' thrilling song.

As they who carol in the height

For me we're gold and green,
The thrushes song the skies serene,
And cowspips bloomed for me.
For me, too, loving hands entwined
The cowslips in wreath to bind
My childish, flowing hair;
For me, too. tender words broke forth,
And voices silent now on earth,
Once whispered was fair.

And pluck with cheerful heart and hand,

JUNE.

Fair month of rosesi Who would sing her praise,
One says. should come direct from banqueting
On honey from Hymettus, that he bring
Fit flavor to the strain his lip essays.
AS IT, around these exquisite, rare days.
OF richest June, for him who fain would sing
Her lovliness, did not such sweetness cling
AS Hybia or Hymettus scarce could raise
For all their storied bees
And yet in vain,
Poet your verse; extol her as you will.
One perfect rose her praises shall dstill
More than all song though sappho led the strain.
Forbear, then; since, for any tribute fit,
Her own rare lips alone can utter it.

FEEDING YoUNG TURKEYs.-Yo Young
turkeys should be fed at least five times
daily, at morning, noon, and night, and
between these times, for their rapid
growth requires that food be given lib
orally and often Of the proper kind. Milk
in its different forms, should constitute
much of the first food of young turkeys.
We usually give for the first few days
bread soaked in new milk, at the same
time giving them milk to drink. Thick
milk can follow this, with an admixture
of scraps of bread, after which cheese
Chick milk with whey drained Off can
be given, with green onion tops chopped
up fine and mixed with it. A small
sprinkling of cayenne pepper is also ben
efcial.
Some breeders recommend using hard
boiled eggs, chopped up fine. for first
feeds, but we do not consider this at all
necessary, though it can be used if de-
sired. When the birds are about two or

The FIRST STEP.-There is no step SO
long as the first step in any direction,
especially wrong one. Having once
taken it, you are very likely to go far
ther. One who steals a penny will re-
member it when he thinks of stealing
sovereign. If he steals the sovereign
first, when he is tempted by thousands
he will remember he is already a thief.
A perfect innocent person breads the
soil of any sin upon his soul, but after
the slightest smirch he cannot say, 81
am clean " The vulgar proverb, lone
might as well be hung for sheep as for
lamb, means great deal. Often the
lamb was stolen years before, and now
why not take the sheep? An idle word,
half-oath, half-exclamation, leads the
boy to swearing. Once having sworn,
he will swear again. The first step may
not be much itself, but in its relation to
our lives it is a giants stride. 1t is
well to remember it.

A FORTY-MILLION LOG-DRIFT.


The last of the largest log-drift ever
driven on the Connecticut waters has
passed the bar on Fifteen-mile Falls on
its way to McIndoes Falls, Mt. Tom
and Hartford. High water is enabling
the crews to make the quickest drives
ever known to the Connecticut valley.
The lumber interests have been unusual
ly brisk during the past winter, over
one thousand choppers being engaged on
the Connecticut and its sources. The
drift which now crowds the Connecticut
from White river to the Passumpsic,
engaging the services of two hundred
and fifty of the best drivers from the
rivers of Maine, New Hampshire and
the Province of Quebec, started early in
April from Indian and Perry's streams
and the head waters of the Connecticut,
under the direction of Captain Isaac
Bowman, of Lancaster. Owing to the
extraordinary size of the drive, measur-
ing forty millions, the crew is divided
into four gangs, the first of which is
now near Northampton, the second be-
tween Bellows Falls and White River
Junction, the third near the mouth of
the Ammonoosuc, and the fourth
deployed along the river banks between
McIndoes and Fifteen-mile Falls. Each
gang is furnished with complete out
fit of cooking and culinary ware and
commissary of the best substantial sup
plies. In addition to wages ranging
from one dollar and twenty-fv cents to
two dollars per diem, four meals are
served, the first of hot biscuit and coffee
at four, A. M, the second of salt beef,
pork and potatoes at eleven, A. M. the
meat and tea at half-past nine. While
the men are constantly in danger of ae-
cident, but three casualties are reported,
none of which resulted in death or per-
manent injury. Of the forty millions
constituting the drive, ten millions go
to VanDyke & Merrill, McIndoes Falls,
VT, ten millions to the Mt Tom lumber
company, and the remaining twenty mil
lions, at a cost of two dollars per thous-
and, to Hartford. The contract for de-
livering the forty millions was taken by
Captain Bowman fer eighty thousand
dollars. Extensive preparations are be-
ing made for the coming winter. some
twenty millions of feet being already
contracted for New York parties.
