MY Schoolmates.

On the playground of the school house
Standing on yon pleasant hill,
Where in childhood have rambled,
See the children playing still.
Az watch them in their frolic,
Shouting laughing In their glee,
Back into the past wander;
Childhood's days come back TO me;
And fancy have shaken
From my life this load of care,
And am playing wild and happy
With the laughing childree there.
This small boy is my friend Tommy:
We are playing hide and seek
And this one is brother wilfred,
Who was always good and meek.
That glad throng is Joe and Jamie.
Willie, Bennie, Frank and Fred;
Susie, Mary, Kate and Hattie,
Sadie with her COLLEEN head.
Hark hear the bell that calls them
To their tasks inside the door
And once MORE l find the present
Just as real "a before.
DO you ask where are my schoolmstes,
What to each one has befells
Would you like TO hear the story
Listen, then, and will tell.
Thomas il a wealthy merchant
Soon will be q millionaire.
Wilfred Is q missionary,
And makes the heather Chinese stare,
Joseph went TO be sailor
Is Captain now, think

To the miseries of drink.

Susie, ahi the village churchysrd
Holds the form we all did love,
And her spirit, kind and gentle,
Happy dwells with God above.
In yon neat and pleasant cottage
Lives our winsome, merry Kate:
Far across the stormy ocean
Lady Mary dwells in state.

Gives the self-same school its life.

House Cleaning.


House cleaning is overall renovated from

worked with the rest, rubbing furniture. clean

the fatigued feeling, but morning found me

the whole house at once-every one miserable,
and In quandary as what to do next. No
more il done when everything is topsy- turyy
than If systematzed and each room taken
separately Try it. and see if it is not the bet
ter way. One receipt must give for scrubbing
furniture, oiled or vanished. Mix boiled lin
seed oil with the same quantity o: turpentine,
and rub on with loft cloth. Its effects are
astonishing-far better than any furniture

The spring has been very backward; but
this morning, after shower during the night,
every leaf IL springing into life, every bud into
blossom. The air is balmy and soft az one can

days would last They are go hfe-glyipe-so
exhilarating-while midsummer brings depres

seems to me more beautiful day never

hours pass too quickly, just as all our pleasant
things must ever do; and we must bear il pa

and winter will still pass in their appointed time

comes, thankful for life and its blessings, which
surely are more than its sorrows, if we can only

Plants for an Aquarium.

WATER LILIES.
In one of the first letters wrote for the press,
described the American Lotus Lily, and sent
out some fifty seeds / had to different flower
lovers. The other day heard from one who
has successfully followed my directions, and
she now asks me to write about the white water
lily. Ipresume the lady has reference TO our
most interesting aquatic plant, Nyn,phea Odo-
rata, or Sweet Water Nymph. The flowers are
from three to four inches across, sometimes
unged with pink, but most commonly they are
pure white and delioiously fragrant The
leaves and flowers float gracefully on the sur
face Of the water
Time makes great changes in all pursuits of
life. 1t was considered impossible in my earlier
gardening experience TO grow and bloom water
lilies, unless pond OF water was TO be had,
either real or artificial. All that is needed,
however, is tub. which can be made by saving
a barrel in two, taking care, however, that it
Is free from tar. OIL or salt Let the tub
be about two feet deep, and III the bottom put
IN about ten inches of good soil or pond mud,
II you can get it. Then lay the root in care
fully, strengthening out the small fibers cover
about two inches deep, fill the tub gently with
water and keep IL full This is all the care they
require. The tub can be made to initiate a
miniature pond, by sinking it in the ground and
making flower bed around it. In the winter
you will need to put the tub down cellar Fill
Water Lily will come out all right in the spring
The question, what flowers will grow in the
shadey" is put 20 me by scores of city people,
whose little patch which they wish to devote
to flowers il 30 walled up by neighboring
houses that the direct rays of the sun never
touch it.. But few plants will develop their
flowers there, and none will do 80 well as if il
were lighted up by the sun at least a part of
the day Pansies, Fuchsias, Lilies of the Val
ley,s Violets, and some herbaceous plants.
Whose first homo was the shady woods,
seem to do the best The very best effect
Is produced bv bed Of ornamental foliage
plants. Take the Castor Bean for the center,
and around it Caladum Esculentum, next row
CanDas, and then Gold and Silver-leaf Ger
anlums, Achyranthus, Coleus etc. The most
of these can be had at from 10 TO ~ cents each:

immediate effect, which is great item, when
we consider that such beds cannot be filled from

measure for the remarkably low prices.

A petition has been filed in the
town clerks Office praying the board
Of supervisors to discontinue portion
of the road leading from Abe Orr's
house to George Bockoven's place, and
establishing new road, running d.
agonally from Mr.. Bockoven's house to
skirt the shores of Silver lake. There
is, already, considerable opposition
being developed against the proposed
change. In this matter of changing
the location of roads it is an impossi-
bility, no matter how the supervisors
may try, to suit everybody. The
greatest good for the greatest number
is our motto.
