HOT.

Did you say it was hotG Did you?
| thought somebody said twas hot?
Or was mistaken? never knew
A May so blistcring, or I've forgot
This morning the dew on the grass
Flashed once when the sun arose;
Flashed once and was gone. Alas, alas,
Each wind is hot and hotter that blows.
Cool breeze? No, there's no such thing
Cool place? Wherey In the forests shade
BY the waves of the deep Bandusian Spring
Or in some quiet woodland glade?
Alas, If you find pleasant place
In deep, thick shade where you mtyht be
cool,
Where the trees with grand and stately grace
O'erhang deep, pelucid pool,
You'll find also ticks, bugs and worms,
Muskceters, flies and such like things,
Snakes and beetles thatl make you squirm,
And scorpions with their dcvilish stings.
o for shower to lay the dust
o for u shower of pouring rain
Earth gapes through oil her upper crust
And signs for the showers to come again.

YOU LOVE THE BOYS THE BEST.

It's no use talking-no use talking
IT'S useless to contest;
You know it is q standing fact
You love the boys the best.
You needn't turn your noses up
Deception l detest-
And toss your head and curl your lips:
You love tho boys the best.
o, you may say the boys are bores,
Nuisanccs and pests:
But give you an hoaest trial
And well see whA you love best.
You know it, and they know it, too,
And so do all the rest
And it's nonsense now to say you don t.
You do love them tho best.

LAYING BY CoRN.-Let the last work

do, it must do quickly; it will soon tassel

must follow rapidly. 1t cannot wait for
scasons-give it therefore every oppor-
tuuity, kill every bunch Of grass and every
weed, if any there be to dispute the ground
with it. Make the surface mellow, that air
and moisture may penetrate if it should be
dry Plough shallow, so as not to injure
the roots--thc plant must feed rapidly, and
will need every mouth it has
Early corn will be "laid by" this month
and peas ought, by all means, to be broad
castcd at tha last ploughing. They will be
early enough to mature, but more impor-
tant consideration is the Improvement OF

MOVING STRAWBERRY BEDS.-Mr. j.
B. Moore, of Massachusetts,, successful
cultivator of Strawberries, says, Immediately
after crop he invariably mows the green
leaves from the beds-that he cannot get
second good crop without moving. He
contends that the object of the leaves is not
so much to act as the lungs of the plant, as
to elaborate the sap, intimately to perfect
the fruit and seed, and having done this are
of no further use. That, Immediately after
bearing crop Of fruit, the roots turn black
and begin to decay, after which they throw
out new set of roots Immediately above
the old ones. The leaves hold on persist
emily at this critical period when the old
roots are dying and new ones have not
formed, causing severe drain upon the
vitality of the plant. Moving the tops
secures second crop neglect of it renders
failure certain. If this is not scientific, so
much the worse for science

REFINED LANGUAGE.-NIcna and women
should acquire in early life the habit of
using good language, both in speaking and
10 writing, and also avoid the use of slang
words and phrases. The longer they live
the more difficult the acquisition of good
language will be, and if the golden age of
youth, the proper time for the acquisition
of language, be passed in abuse, the unfor-
tunate victim is very properly doomed to
talk slang for life. Money is not necessary
to procure this education. Every person
has it in his power. He has to use the
language which he reads instead Of the
slang which he hears to form taste from
the best speakers and poets of the country
to treasure choice phrases in his memory,
and habituatc himself to their use, avoiding
at the same time that pcdantic precision
and bombast which show rather the weak.
