TWO WAYS OF SEEING.


"Thc blossoms fall, the pretty spring-Aowers
die,
The first fail grass Is ready for the moving:
The grub has swallowed up the butterfly.
And everything that isn't gone is going!"
The tiny apples cluster on the Dough;
The bees have gone to work instead OF hum
ming; :.
The seed is up, where lately ran the pillow.
And everything that hasn't come is coming
THE birds have ceased their merry spring
tide lay;
No more the black-bird on the tree .top
whistles;
The frogs no longer croak at the close of day.
And thorns are where the down was on the
thistles." II rs sFCI NH, - -
The birds don't think they have the time to
sing; : -
The blackbird has to feed his wife and

Farm Talk.

l. Drains should be cut while the ground
is dry. If they have been marked or
laid out previously, the work can Be
done now at half the cost of doing it
when the ground is full of water. This
season is better than any other for re-
claiming swamp meadows. " ".'
Professor harrington, in summary of
the experiments begun in 1870 by the
Maine Agricultural College to ascertain
which has the greatest value as a food
for swine, cooked or uncooked meal, says:
"We have, by an experiment which has
been continued from three to four months
of each of the nine years since its begin
ming, obtained evidence that all the,
money, and labor expended in cooking
meal for swine is more that thrown,
away @-% '.s't 'fl itt .t&1 "
Greater neatness about dwellings
would be an improvement to nearly all
farm residences, even among the thrifty,
intelligent, rich and money making. A
very few farm places are germs of neat
ness. There are too many half-decayed
structures, or boards lying on the ground,
or burdocks, or the lack Of neat lawn
and some shrubbery.
Wheat requires o fine and mellow soil;
it is best if compact below and roughish
on the top. If there are any clods, these
should be brought up from below by re-
pcated borrowings, and broken by the
roller or the disk borrow. II they can
not be broken up completely, they are
better on the top than below the surface.
A roller will break many. ,.

The Nlhilist Coat,

The following story is told to illustrate
life in Russia during the excitement

traveller in Russia was suspected, watched,
and followed by the eye of the police.
Monsieur S. was an editor on the staff
of the leading Warsaw paper. One cold
morning he. was ambling over the frozen
ground IN the direction of his office, with
a brand-new overcoat on, when the pass

Doing Homework.

There is a continued and large demand
for intelligent competent girls who can
take little Of the responsibility and
care OF Homework upon themselves, and
thus relieve Our women of one of their
greatest trials. Many of you would look
upon this work as beneath you, and
some of you will read this with feeling
of scorn, and yet this work is far easier,
better, and pleasanter than many of the
employments that you look upon, with
your experience, as elegant, easy and re-
hned. With months study and expert
ence you could become good cooks or
housekeepers, and you could take with
you to your labor all the dignity, sweet
ness and graces of your womanbood, and
thus dignity the work you look upon as
beneath you.

IT in true goodness and nobleness of char

teemed members Of happy families.
There are thousands OF womep who would
give intelligent, faithful girls almost the
love and consideration they would their

thy OF their regard, and would willingly
assist them in their efforts at self-inprove-
ment
Let our girls see the plain unvarnished
truth Of this matter. It is not the work

that elevates or degrades us, and the girl

oughly makes as royal an instrument of

to grass and clover. Forty bushels per
acre of air-slacked lime is usually spread
from the wagon with long handled

A correspondent OF the Country Gen
tleman says that no dressing of manure
is completely consumed by the crop to
which it is applied. Soluble and active
manures produce their principal effect at
once, and are of little benefit to subse-
quent crops. Manures sparingly soluble,
and those which must suffer decomposi-
ton in the soil before they are of service
to the plant, as bones and farmyard
manure, will, on the contrary, produce
an effect over many years. Farmers
have prejudice IN favor of the latter
class OF manures, but it is clear that the
quickest return for capital invested is
afforded by the former class. ~

We're too weu-bred to make
A match through foolish feeling.
Heigho, our triple curse,

This one sweet in our lot,
Tenderly, dearly given.
No stain such kisses bear,
She needs no frown or prayer,
For that fond act she's shriven.

Wrote no sin 'gainst her, when
She kissed in her pure passion.

On earth our fortunes patched,
In both she keeps in fashion.

Sunday Services 1T White Bear--A Grand
Fete Arranged for Thursday. aud all the
knights In tho State Invited.
The Templars' services at the encampmsnt
of Damascus commandery on Sunday after
noon were unusually interesting, and at
traoted large congregation from the hotels
and cottages surrounding the lake. The
Rev. Mr.. Knickerbacker offciated as usual,
and preached powerful sermon from the
first epistle of st. John, fourth chapter and
seventh and eighth verses: "Beloved, let us
love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth
not God; for God is love-" The service was
greatly enjoyed by all, especially the music
furnished by quartette composed of Misses
Clara Hanson and Ida Pierson and Messrs.
Munger and Hanson.
Our society people will be glad to know
that arrangements have been completed for
grand fete at the encampment on Thurs
day next. The grand commander of Knights
Templars of the State aud all the grand
officers have been invited TO pay the camp q
visit on that occasion, and have slgnifed
their intention of being present. All the
subordinate Communicates have also been
invited, and will no doubt be present, when
a review will be had. The Eau Claire and
Hudson Communicates will also participate,
and there is no doubt-the weather being
propitious there will be gala time.
The Knights of Damascus commandery will
be ready to receive their guests early in the
forenoon, and all who come will be well
coined most Hospitality. It is intended to
make this the browning social event OF the
season at White Bear.

he went to Mr.. Sanger and had his intended
house drafted, and appearing again at Mr.. F.'s

needed to do justice to the inner man. He Wis
tied the lumber men of the city and made
known to them his Intentions but negotiated
Tor no building material, nor received any
loans. He visited Judge Parsons and unfolded
to him the beauties of York State, and the
many wonders and sights to be seen there, but
received no loan there. He beat his landlord
out OF his board bill, and left him lamenting

babe adieu to st. Paul's generosity he again
appeared before Mr.. Falrchild, who had 40 gen.
erously extended to him the right hand of fel-
lowship to the amount of $5, and asked for
loan of IS more, to which Mr.. +. respo ded.

day, Mr.. f. made inquiries as to his wherea-
bouts from his landlord, and 10, the bird had

able him to work more successfully among the
