How Happy I'll BE. .

y little one played among the flowers,
In the blush and bloom Of summer hours:
She twined the buds in garland fair,
And bound them up III her shining hair.
''Ah me. :" said she. ''how happy III be
When ten years more have gone over me
And am a maiden with youth bright glow
Flushing my cheek and lighting my BROW
\ maiden unused in a pleasant room,
Where the air was filled with soft perfume;
Vases were near, of antique mould,
Beautiful pictures rare and Old,
And she Of all the loycliness there,
Was by far the loyeliest and most fair
"Ah me-" sighed she, ''how happy I'll 30
When my hearts true love comes home 70 me;
Light Of my life, my spirits pride,
] count the days till thou reach my side
\ mother bent over a cradle nest,
Where she soothed her babe to his smiling
rest
sleep we'll" she murmured, soft and low,
And she pressed her kisses on his brow.
oh, child. sweet child! how happy I'll be
II the good GOd let thee stay with me
Till later on, in Iifc's evening hour,
Thy strength shall be my strength and tower"
Anaged ono sat by the glowing hearth,
Almost ready to leave the earth;
Feeble and fraii, the race Size had run
Had borne her along 10 the setting sun.
An, me- sighed she in an undertOue,
"How happy Ill bc when life is done!
When the world fades out with its weary strife
And soar away to a better life"
'Tis thus we journey from youth to age,
Longing to turn TO another page,
Striving to hasten the years away,
Lighting our hearts with the future ray;
Hoping in earth till its visions fade,
Wishing and waiting through san and shade:
Turning when earth's last tie Is riyen,
To the beautiful rest that remains in heaven

Food for Fowls.

A correspondent of the American
Poultry Yard describes his method oil
preparing table refuse for fowls as tol-
lows:
First, proper feeding pail is an ao-
solute necessity TO successfully prepare
the refuse of the table and the kitchen,
TO make it proper food for fowls. Get
hardwood pail, or ask your grocer Tor
a hardwood butter firkin shaped like
pail. Cut a board to fit into the chime
firmly on the whole bottom OF the pall,
and thick enough TO project an eighth
Of an inch or more beyond the ends OF
the slaves, 50 that the pail may rest
firmly on the bottom instead Of Oh the
ends of the StaVeS. FaSten it in place
by Il few nails driven through the
stayes into this false bottom. which
may be of pine, as it is only to keep
from bursting out the bottom OF the
pail by chopping in it. If you cannot
get hardwood pail, put another false
bottom of hard wood inside of pine
pail, nicely fitted and secured like the
under one. Grind the edge of a com.
mon spade sharp, and you have an adj
mirable chopping knife, and will be
surprised to see how quickly you can
chop fine all scraps and waste of every
kind, cooked or raw vegetables, chick
Ell bones and everything except beef,
pork Or mutton bones; these save by
| themselves, and put into stock soup
kettle, with all pieces of raw meat, on
cheap meat from the market, and keep
1t ou the kitchen stove as much of the
day as you can induce your "better
half to let it remain. After boiling
several days some of these large bones
will chop up fine with the other waste,
and can be used as fast as they become
soft. Chop up the waste each morning,
adding meal and shorts enough for
breakfast for the flock, sCald the whole
with the soup from the stock kettle,
adding once each week one of the fol-
| lowing articles, for each twenty-five
hens; One spoonful pepper, six onions,
| One-half pint charcoal, one spoonful
pure ginger, and two spoonfuls sui
| phur, etc. The above will produce
| breakfast that will make your poultry
| house and its occupants as lively and
| musical as IrSt-claSs opera house, and
its effect upon the egg-basket will be
visible TO the naked eye, and may gain
! for your soup kettle, more time on the
! litch Ell stove.

The Outlook.

1t does not appear that prices or IarIn
prOduce-and we include in this meat
producing animals-will advance IN
price during the present season. The
constant anticipation that renewed war
movements were at least quite possible,
have prevented prices receding as they
otherwise would have done. But now
that peace is pretty well assured, prices
must settle down to the absolute wants
Of consumers from day to day. These
wants are tinged and clouded by the
pressure of the times, which means that
very many who formerly bought meats
for use twice daily, and coffee, tea, etc,
at pleasure, now buy sparingly, because
they cannot buy literally.
The cry Of over production has been
raised, but what else can a farmer do
but . run his farm to it's full capacity,
and store the product. Wheat, corn,
oats. etc, will keep, and if we'll stored,
it cannot happen that any farmer can
grow too much Of these grains, because
seasons of scarcity and extraordinary
demand are sure to come. The present
season promises to yield heavily of all
farm products. and the farmer is wise
who will now begin to provide storage
secure against wet and vermin. If
grain cannot be sold at living prices, its
possession, we'll secured to keep, will
give the possessOr credit with his mer-
chant. and all others Of whom he has oc-
casiOn to ask fayors.
If prices OF grain remain low, it
should stimulate farmers to feed grow
ing stock liberally, and this term grow
| ing has wide range, taking in steers
and hogs of all the ages usually fed up
to turn off at the usual periods for mar
keting AS a rule, low priced grains
| bring better return when fed out upon
! the farm, than if sold in the crude
state, and the advantages to the farm
| of retaining the manure where needed,
| is one Of the permanent helIs that no
prudent man will treat lightly. Your
I low priced grains Will add >tantially
| TO your presen income when fed ont,
| and the refuse of this will, if properly
saved and distributed, make your CT ops
rejoice in future years.

Religion.

Religion is natural to man, ana ll'S
existed in all ages. IN answer 10 the
question. what is religion? let the diver
siGed systems and creeds OF past ana
present times be the reply. NO TWO
systems or forms alike, yet each per-
suaded that its own is the true one. y
nation and its religion are reflex ol
each other. Grand i'll its conceptions:
or icnoble-whichever way the religion
leans. so will it tend to mould the peo-
pIe. SO also If the people be cfuel
and bloodthirsty, thus will their religion
be.
Man is progressive. An ever extend
inc insight of natural laws and forces
modilies his religion. The same rell-
pion that satisfies the wants OF an lsilo'
rant man, will 10y no means content the
enlightened philosopher. Each may
believe in a supreme intelligence caile'
| God. but Gods attributes with the one
will be capricious, arbitrary ,cruel-"l'i
the other lofty, just and good.
Justice, mercy, beneVoIence ana low
shall outlast all the systems and creed
Of the world A broader and bette
practice of religion Will result from Ill
changes.

The Proof Boys Vengeance.

He was the worst little galley slave
that ever haunted composing room.
lie would take proof off with VI
cious twitch OF the slip from the type,
and he gaZed at a revise. as he trolled
around with it in his hand, as though
it were personal enemy. He was very
small, but there wasn't a man about
the room, from foreman down, who
didn't have a sort Of fear of him, he
was so venomous. Only one man dared
to cross him, and that was the lunch
vendor, who came up with a huge bas-
ket of indigestibles at - O'Clock every
night to satisfy, at exorbitant prices,
the needs of hungry compoSitorS. This
man had refused to trust the proof-boy
for cranberry pie, and the little wretch
determined upon revenge.
The plan conceived by the boy was
simple, but certain in results. The
forms ready for the preSs-room were
conveyed to the elevator by means OF
little stands on wheels, and after the
forms had gone down, it usually de-
volved upon the proof-boy to run the
vacant stands back to their places-a
work which he invariably performed
with great gusto and much danger to
legs in the vicinity. The lunch man, i'll
reaching the place where lie sold his
pies in the composing room, had to
pass close by the elevator, and here the
proof-boy laid his trap. Securing un-
| perceived the basin of concentrated lye
| used il washing off the forms, he
smeared the floor about the elevator
with the soapy stuff until twas as slip
perry as ice. Then at about twelve
o'clock at night he stationed himself
| beside an empty stand at the elevator
and waited The lunch man entered
the room, staggering under the load Of
his huge basket of pies. AS lie neared
the edge Of the space so treacherously
soaped, the proof-boy darted forward
with whoop, rolling the stand along
| before him. Instinctively, the lunch
| man Jumped forward to get out of the
way. His feet struck the S0aped sur
| face, they shot fiercely apart and for
ward, his arms went up spasmodically,
and the basket of pies described Il grand
! curve and came down with spat, but
right side up, behind him. Frantically
the lunch man struggled for his equil
brium, but in vain. His feet, away be-
fore him, played upon the soaped floor
like trip-hammerS, his arms Whirled
about like Weathercocks in cyclone,
and down he came like tightening upon
his own provender! Down, through
seventeen thicknesses of pie he bored
his way, until the seat of his pantaloons
fairly ground against the WickerwOrk
of the bottom of the basket! 1t was
awful! When the man finally craWfed
off the soaped space on the floor and
raised up, So 25 worth Of pie was cling
| inc to him. and the proof boy was dane
''Ili, yah, Mr.. Foreman Yere's a
galoot has been and gone and pied Il
form! Hi, YAH"
And then the little demon slid away
among the cases, and for week after
wards went abont chuckling to himself
| like an insane boy. lie had settled ac-
| counts with the lunch man.

Temperance.

Much has been written and salu Oh
this question as to what should pe
done-a word now as to what should
not be done.
The home should not be made un-
happy. A cheerful and tidy home, IKE
the top root to a tree, strikes deeper
than all beside to hold the man stem
firm and steady. Domestic surliheSS,
perveI seness and negligence hlnqefS
the cause Of temperance more than any
one thing beside. Peace at home Is
more efrectual than prayers abroad.
A small white flag Of truce to CIVIL war
in the household is OF more value than
/ Haunting the red ribbon outside OF the
/ house. The unuttered pledge never 10
vex anl annoy in doors, IS worth more
than the signature of a pledge before
! the public. The bird whose nest Is hlL-
ed with thorns and brierS is most APP
to desert the nest and leave 1t to rum

Vermin of all kinds are very willing
to move in with the first occupant of a

Raising Tomatoes.

Popular EiOGuenoa.

1t was beautiful criticism made by
Longinus upon the effect of the speak
ing of Cicero and Demosthenes. He
says the people would go from one of
Ciceros orations, eXclaimng: "What
a beautiful speaker; what rich, fine
voice; whatan eloquent man Cicero isl"
They talked of Cicero; but when they
left Demosthenes they said LET us
fight Philip" Losing sight of the
speaker, they were all absorbed in the
subject; they thought not of Demos
themes, but of their country.

Law Points,

The fall of sack of oats led to an
interesting law suit in England recent
IL. The oats were being hOisted by a
crane, near Southampton, when they
fell on passing scho0lmaSter, who
was thereby knocked down, and sus-
tanned injuries which he alleged were
very severe. lie sued the prOprletors
of the crane for damages, and the action
was tried a short time ago in the Com
mon Pleas Division of the High Court
Of Justice. The trial was remarkable
for the conflict of medical testimony
which the case presented. The wit
nesses for the plaintiff were two highly
respectable physicians, who SWore that
his injuries were clearly due to mechan-
ical accident and were irremediable in
their nature. On tie other hand, the
defendants produced two equally re-
putable medical men-One of whom be-
longs to the Kings College Hospital
who testified that the plaintiff S injuries
were really caused by brain disease and
iury. however, were satisfied that the
sack of oats did the mischief, and they
awarded S6,250 damages to the school,
master.
