WHAT A DULL BOY GAM T.

"How many children have you,
sir"
"Bettcr than Q dozen," said my
father, smiling and rubbing his
hands.

reply; "what a family, 13 chill

"Why, no." said my father, "you
mistake-only 10, which | pre-
sumo you will think better than a
dozen."
Nv father was inclined to look
upon the dark side of life, but my
mother was an exceedingly prac-
tical woman, full Of life aud ener-
gy, an excellent butter and cheese
maker, while she could cure the
best hams and bacon in the coun-
ty. She was always busy, and
consequently had no time to be
gloomy. Ny father used to trou-
BILE himself about one Of the Older
bows whom be fancied was stupid.
He used to tell his dismal fore
bodings to my mother.
"That boy will never make any
thing" said he. "Ask him to
fetch a pitchfork or a rake, ana
be will stare at you as though he
never heard of a pitch fork in his
life. Tell him to 60 after the
COWS, and you'll find him two
hours after sitting 90 the fence
staring at vacancy" Then he
would shake his head and say,
oh yes, Dan will have TO be pro-
vidcd for all his days"
My mother exercised the most
sense in this matter, l think, for she
made the best Of the young mans
laziness, as we all called it. She
used to put Dan, when he was
quite a young man, to churning,
and she used to put me, mere
child, to watch him. She used to
say, "Now, Harriet, you stay

deep-chested agriculturist turned
and said: "Sir, when you told me

another party, he said: ''sir, may

Why have We grown so weary and sad,
Oh, heart that never was tired before?
What have VIC lost that made life glad
That the seasons will bring to US no more ::
cannot tell why the beautiful time
Ofbaddihg blossoms and singing birds
Has never wakeued song from me,
Or even the tribute Of thankful words.
Something miss from the sky Of May:
The lark sings not as he sang Of yore-
The sky seems faded and far away,
Too chill for the birds to sing and soar.
Something is gone that made life sweet,
Dead and buried beyond recall;
Out of the sky where sunlight smiled
Only the twilight shadows fall.
Never q song for the happy May.
That used to blossom under my feet;
Never a smile for the glad green earth,
And the meadows spangled with dalses
sweet.
We have learned the lesson of life, my heart,
And we are so tired Of heavy tears.
How can the May-time seem as fair
AS it used to seem in the bygone years
How can we choose but sit and dream,
With hopeful smile, Of a time to be
- ,r,in ho fnrrnf
And the daises will nod over you and me !:
