IN a CORNFLELD.

A GREAT brown field where the planters go,
Steadily walking to and fro,
And each one carries broad, bright hoe:
At every stroke of the flashing blade,
A bed in the waiting earth is made
And there the kernels of corn are laid.
Ten days-and green is each long, straight
row
That show where the tiny corn blades grow
And then the pillow must begin to go.
For the weeds are ready to play their part
Like evil thoughts in the human heart,
That never wait for the good to start.
Twenty days more; and the field that was
bare
Now looks like meadow, wide and fair,
As the corn leaves wave in the changing air.
Yet fourscore days-and the forests stand
In tall, straight ranks like an army grand,
On the self same spot of brown bare land.
And the columns are clothed in fine array
Of noddinS plumes and of tassels gay,
AND swords OF green that have grown in q
day.
OF the wonderful mystery who can tell?
For this no less is a miracle
That every year is wrought so well.
We talk of the sun, the air and the rain,
And the action of heat on the soil and grain,
But the reasoning yet is far from plain.
This beauty must bow to the frost and snow,
And soon the stubble alone will show
Where the stately corn plants proudly grow.
For the time of gathering in is near,
And the ripened stalks and the golden ear
Are the full reward for the toilsome year.

AN EAsLLKSoLVED RIDDLE.

RIDDLE mel riddle me! riddls-me-ree!
VINO tcM nnrorel my riddle for met
A monster, a terrible monster IL seems
Did see Il while waking. or only in dreams?-
That lilies on its track
With crash and thwack
And roar as OF thunder and lightning, good
One eye in its head
Glowing brilliant and red,
Twas thing to look at with fear and dreadl
with mouth that feeds upon coal and coke,
smoke;
With a body 80 long, and thick, and black,
And bell tight fastened above its back
II was tougher to look at than bone and
gristle.
And whenever it spoke it could only whistle!
Twelve great feet, both black and strong,
Carried its terrible frame along
Six on the left and six on the right,
Running together with all their might
with mighty sound as If winds were rushing
And tempests crushing;
With monstrous rumbling
And awful grumbling;
With mighty wheeling
Of breathing and sneeZing;
With whistle and squeak,
And snort and a shrek,
And a terrific pother
. OF noise and of bother;
WIN wonderful rattle, and din, and shaking
as a., u every bone in its body were aching;
NTH a Jerk on heels and bounce on toes
Ihis is the way that the monster goes!
i Bnt IN spite of his strength and noise and size
Al single touch, or a single click,
rel go like rocket, or stop like stick;
lie IL carry some hundreds of boys or more
Out To picnic, or down to the shore;
II girls Just ask him, the jolly old dutfer
VIII drop them at grandmas in time for their
supper;
Give him drink, and just tighten his girth,
He'll bring you your friends from the ends o.
the earth;
Give him his favorite meal of Goals,
Aud fast and as far as the telegraph poles
He'll bring you sweet oranges up from the
SOUTH
Grapes from the east that will melt in YOU
mouth
Wine from the south that will fly to your head
Corn for your mullins aud wheat for YOU
bread
Everything beautiful, precious and sweet,
Everything wondrous to see and to eat,
Everything useful to sell and to buy,
This monster will bring in the wink of an eye

Do not imagine, after all this, that
simply because you are always doing
something you are industrious. You
may be worse than idle if you are vast
ing not only time but eye-sight and
materials. Work must be to some pur-
pose to be worthy of the name. 1t may
be better to be idle all day than to be
reading trash or straining your eyes
and nerves over some intricate and
useless piece of needle-work, cred
with the blood of murdered time"
Many of these things are made only
Ito give away" because people are
too indoleat to think of any gift more
useful or appropriate. A simple, mex
pensive present, which shows that you
have thought of what your friend would
like best, Is better than very costly
and elaborate one which is only made
from wish to get rid of an obligation,
and which misuses time in the making.
Whatever you do, do it with all your
might, whether it be croquet, or arith-
metic, or base ball, or worseted work.
Ii boy is thinking of his Latin lesson
when he ought to be striking ball, he
will probably be thinking of the game
"NCh hO OuSuo W Uc say NY Gum, Is,
est" and the result will be that he will
have neither good lesson nor a good
score.
Now, perhaps, you will say that all
this advice is of no use to you, because
you have all the time you want now;
but you must not forget that there are
a great many people in the world who
lind it hard work to crowd into day
all that it is necessary for them to do,
and they would be very glad to have
you give some of your leisure to them.
Unemployed time is a sure indication of
neglected duty. Even the ant, in the old
nursery rhyme, says:
" always find something or other to do,
If not for myself, for my neighbor."
When you have not enough to occupy
you, look among your circle of ac-
quaintances, and see who of them needs
to have you "lend a hand. Susan An-

LOngfellOw's Home.

NAHANT, about an hours ride from
Boston, is quiet, sequestered, and per-
fectly charming-so writes q CORE
spondent of the Partisan. Here the
favored few live, and no sound of the
worlds busy motion corrupts the lazy,
delightful hours. Of course the most
distinguished inhabitant of Nahant is
Professor Henry w. Longfellow. A
roomy, old-fashioned house serves as
abode to the great poet and his brother
in.law, Mr.. 7. G. Appleton. The house
is usually filled; first with Longfellow's
immediate family, next Mr.. Nathan APP
pleton, whom you all will remember in
Paris, and the invited guest or guests
and there is always some one to share
the Appletons' hospitality. In the hour
that precedes dinner there is much con-
versation, and what literary feast!
The Professor tells the best stories of
any one | know. He is entertaining,
gracious, and perfect courtier. Then
we all seek the shade of the terrace. One
end is called "Juliet's Balcony" here
the sun rises in mid day heavens, here it
sets. and on one little corner the wooing
moonlight throws its silver glances.
The beautiful yacht, the Alice, dances
on the waters, and number of smaller
vessels dot the sea far and near. The
house stands back from the shore and
the grounds run down to the waters
edge. The wealth of shrubs, vines and
wild flowers is excessive, and rarely
does one see so much verdure near so
rocky a coast. The view is indescriba-
bly, beautiful at all times, and l can not
wonder that the romantic nature of
Longfellew should choose such sum-
mer home.-Home Journal.

Manners Two Hundred Years Ago.

A CURIOUS little book, called "The
Rules of Civility," which was published
in 1875, throws amusing light on the
manners of our ancestors two centuries
ago. Being in discourse with a man,"
we read on one page, "'tis no less than
ridiculous to pull him by the buttons, to
play with his band strings, belt or coat,
or to punch him now and then on the
stomach" Again Z" 1t argues neglect
and to under-value man to sleep when
he is discoursing or reading; therefore,
good manners demand it to be forbid ;
besides, something May happen in the
act that may offend, as snoring, sweat
ing, gaping or dribbling." More eX-
plicit are the rules for behaving at the
table: In eating, observe to let your
hands be clean. Feed not with both
hands, nor keep your knifeinyour hands.
Dip not your fingers in the sauce, nor
lick them when you have done. If you
have occasion to sneeze or cough, take
your hat or put your napkin before your
face. Drink not with your mouth full
or unwiped, nor so long that you are
forced to breathe in the glass" There
are rules also for the drawing-room:
IF person of quality be in the COM
pany of ladies, it's too Juvenile and light
to play with them, to toss or tumble
them, to kiss them by surprise, to force
away their hoods, their fans, their ruffs.
1t is unhandsome among ladies, or any
other serious company, to throw off
ones cloak, to pull off ones perruke, to
cut ones nails, to tie ones garter, to
change shoes if they pinch, to call for
ones slippers to be at ease, to sing be-
tween the teeth, or to drum with ones
fingers"

Saved by His Child.

On Wednesday last Anthony Gold
ing, who lives in Tyendenaga, laid in
formation before the police magistrate
of this city, charging George I.itten, of
the same place, with having attempted
to murder him by shooting at him twice
with gun and revolver OH the previous
day. Golding states that for the last 10
years there has been bad feeling between
himself and litten, who lives Oh the
farm adjoining On Tuesday morning,
he says, he was engaged in splitting
rails in the brush on his place, when he
heard the report OF a gun, and bullet
struck stump few inches distant
from his head. He looked about, and
seeing the smoke from the gun, went to
the spot whence it proceeded, distance
of not more than 20 yards, where he
found Litten lying behind stump. He
asked his assailant why he fired upon
him, when Litten drew revolver from
his pocket and fired a Shot at Golding,
who picked up a stick and struck him
with it. Litten then struck Golding
with his gun, partially stunning him.
The men then closed and had a desper-
ate struggle, in which Litten Sc.
cured the advantage, but a nine
year old son of Golding, who lad
been near his father, interfered and
decided the struggle in his fathers
favor by pulling Litten, upon which
Golding overcame his antagonist by s.v-
ing him several blows. He left his as
sailant lying in the woods, partially in
sensible, and went home to get his
wounds, which seriously affected his
head, dressed. Golding's head and face
showed number of serious wounds.
