The strangers Foot is ON the Still

The Strangers Foot Is on the STILL
Between broad fields Of wheat and corn
Is the lovely home where was born;
The peach.tr leans against the wall,
The woodbine wanders over all. aa--
There is the shaded doorway still
But the strangers foot hath crossed the Sill.
There ia the barnard as Of yore,
I can smell the hay from the open door,
And SEQ the busy swallows throng,
And hear the peewess mournful song.
But the stranger comes-oh painful PROOF,
His sheaves are piled to the heated roof
There is the orchard the very trees
That knew my childhood 80 well to please;
Where watched the shadowy moments run,
Till nv life imbibed moro Of shsde tnan Oh SUI
The string from the bough still sweeps tue ar
But The Strangers children are tWinglng tne1e
It bubbles-the shady spring below,
With its bulrush brook. where the hazeis grow
Twas there found the cslsmns roo,
And watched the minnows poIse and snoot;
And heard the robin lave his wing;
But the strangers bucket is at the spring
Oh 20 who daily Cross the sill!
Step lightly, for love it still
And when you crowd the old barn caves.
Then think what countless harvest sneaVes
Have passed within that scented door,
70 gladden. eyes that are no more!

A New Cereal.

A farmer in Butler County, Cal, shot
= wild goose two years ago. In the
crop of the bird he noticed grain, which
was neither wheat nor rye, but most
like rye, only the grain was more than
twice the usual size and weight. He
has now several bushels of the grain
grown on his farm. His neighbors are
so pleased that all adopt it for regular
culture. 1t yields very largely. Wheat,
as we mill it, is harder on the digestive
organs than chicory coffee. 1t is
thought, from partial experiments, that
this new cereal may make acceptable
bread, either alone or mixed with wheat.
1t is certainly sweeter and far more di-
gestible than wheat bread.-Cor. BALI

About his face, his hands, Or feet,
And If you saw his frowsy head.
You'd think he'd just crept ont Of bed.
He likes to read, stretched out the while,

He's always Drying out for more.
He never puts his toys away
When he has had them out to play;
But leaves them strewn about the floor
For some one else to tumble DER. s-.
