Here is pretty piece of poetry
for the youngest of our little folks
See the chickens round the gate,
For their morning portion wait:
Fill the basket from the store,
Let us open wide the door.
Throw out c,umbs and scatter seed,
Let the hungry chickens feed
Call them-now how fast they run,
Gladly quickly, every one.
Eager, busy, hen and chick.
Every little morsal pick,
See the hen with callow brood,
To her young how kind and good:
With what care their steps she leads
Them, and not herself, she feeds:
Picking here. and picking there.
Where the choicest mursels are.
As she calls they flock around,
Busting I'll along the ground
When 'La:ir daily lahors cease.
And at night they rest in peace.
All the little tiny Things
Nestle close beDeaih her wings:
There she keeps them safe and warm,
Free from fear, and free from harm
Now, my little child. attend:
Yonr Almighty father, Friend,
Though unseen by mortal eye,
Watches o er you from ON high.
AS the hen her chickens leads,
Shelters, cheerishes, and leeds;
SO by him your feet are led,
Over you his wings Are spread.

was not wasteful IN the matter, but

or two since lie built Il new barn,
having IA manure receptacle in the
basement, and with just about the
same amount ot stock, last spriny
he hauled from MS cellar one bun

about seventy-five cords, used on
The cultivated crops; and last fail

cellar thirty-nIne loads, which was
0aIled to the fields where it will
be wanted early Ill the spring =
his, 1T Is true, was not done with
out close attention and some extra
work but why should not the
farmer give close attention and put
out some extra work on the details
Of bis business whereby money
may be saved? The merchant IS
Oh the look out that the cents and
