THE MOVING.
The clock has struck six,


And the morning Is fair,
While the east in red splendor is slowingi
There's dew ON the grass, and song in the air
Let US up and be OF to the moving.
wouldst know why wait
Ere to sunlight has crept
Ger the field where the daisies are yrowinsl
Why all night I've kept my own vigils, nor slept
IT'S to-day is the day of the moving.
This day and this hour
Maud has promised to tell
What the blush on her cheek was half showing.
II she waits at the lane, I'm TO know all is well,
And therel be good time at the moving
Maud's mother has said,
And I'll never deny,
That girls heart there can be no knowing,
Oh / care not to live, and rather would die,
Ii Maud does not come to the moving.
What is it I see
IT'S sheen Of brown hair
In the lane where the poppies are blowing.
Thank God il is Maud-she Is waiting me there,
And therv'u be good time at the moving.
Six years have passed by,
Aud freely declare
That scarcely have noticed their going;
Sweet Maud is my wife, with her sheen Of brown
hair
And We had good time at the moving.

payment of fee and commissions
and that "the residence and cultiva-

the land embraced in his original
entry shall be considered residence
and cultivation for the same length
of time upon and of the land en-

no case shall patent issue "until

In this class of entries the party,
still resident on the original entry
tract, will not be required
to remove therefrom to the
additional entry tract in order to
make a new residence on the latter,

land, residence on either will be
regarded as satisfying the legal re-

proof on the additional entry the
party must show such residence,
with occupancy and cultivation OF
the tract taken as additional under

in London of CHAMBERS, contracted
by living above stable in which
horses suffering from this disease
were kept. Her sister bad pre-

We have received the following
circular from the General Land |
Office, which is important to GER
tain homesteaders. Read it:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE, March %, 1879.
RegiSters and Receivers Of United
States District Land Officers.
GENTLEMEN-I have to call at
tention to the provisions of the act
of Congress entitled "An act to
grant additional rights to home
stead settlers on public lands with
in railroad limits" approved March
8, 1879.
1st. That act provides that from
and after its passage "the even
sections within the limits of any
grant Of public lands to any rail-
road company, or to any State in
aid of any railroad or military road,
shall be open to settlers under the
homestead laws to the extent of
one hundred and sixty acres to
each settler" thus doing away in
this class of entries with the dis
tinction between ordinary minimum
and double minimum lands, OF
! lands held at sl.25 per acre and
lands held at $3.50 per acre, which
had existed under section 2,2S9 o.
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, so far as the double mini
mum lands may be found in ece,
sections within the limits of lanC
grants for railroads or militar,
: roads. But Congress has not seer
proper to extend this provision o
- the act so far as TO embrace an,
% double minimum lands which ma,
be found in odd numbered section
Q or in the limits or grants for an,

are granted and not reserved.
You will observe the change j

proceedings respecting entries VI

ed Statutes; observing, howeve

ed I'd. The act further provides tn
"any persons who has under exis

ke shall have been restricted to eigh

"Wife, get my spectacles and put
them on and see if you can make
out what it means. You know you
can see far off better with my
glasses than with yours"
Mrs. Monahan, following her
husbands suggestion, caught up
his glasses and adjusted them. BY
this time at least forty cradles were
cleaning in the sunlight as the
grand army swept down that TWEEN
ty-fve acre field like a hurricane.
The wheat fell before the cleaning
steel like dead timber in the path
of a tornado. These forty blades
made path through the grain
fifty yards wide.
"Can you tell who it is, wife
Mrs. Monahan gave a kind OF
historical laugh. "Yes, yes, see
it all now; the members OF your
Odd Fellows Lodge have come to
cut our wheat for us. see Green
and Warburg and Stacy and VIII
liams and Mccullough, and | don't
know how many more"
"Thank God, we have some
friends left yet" said the sick man
bursting into tears. His wife heart
lily joined him in crying.
She took off her spectacles, and
with a corner of her apron, wiped
the tears out of her eyes, and look
ed again before answering.
ats Williams, the wounded man
we nursed. He is cutting a swath
twice as wide as any of them, and
next to him, and coming like a
steam engine,i Hugh Mccullough"
"That shows us, wife, that an
act of kindness is never thrown
away; and I'll warrant that Will
| liam was the first man in the Lodge
to think of coming out here to cut
the wheat"
The reapers marched back and
| forth across the field, cutting the
grain. There was large force O.
binders following them, and Others
were gathering the golden sheave'
in the shocks.
Monahon's rheumatism was hal
cured by the sight he had witness
ed. Mrs. Mcmahon kept an ey'
on the reapers, and at . o'clock tn,
last cap was put on the last shock
and then three rousing cheers wer
given. Mrs. Monahan busted her
self putting things to rights, ex
pecting an immediate call en- masst
When everything looked tidy, sh
went to the door to see if the arm
was approaching, but there was nc
man in sight; the last had de
} parted for his home. The shock
stood like sentinels on the field, c
! like the monuments of what will
4 ing hands could do when impelle
e by friendship and affection.

glue a suitable quantity of clean

as a foundation. These quartz
