And she didn't dream Of the better land,
Where widows have raimcnt of gold
She heaved not a sigh for coffee and pie,
And nanneis to keep out the cold.
THE REASON WHY
she didn't was on account of the sur
rOundings. It's no trick at all for a
rich widow to dream of Heaven and
angels and second husbands and weeks
of bliss, but poor lone widow with her
feet in the oven is a different story.
However,
The widow Du Shay she opened her eyes
There was wood ut the door-some ten cords
or more.
As she could quite plainly perceive.
A barrel of pork-a whole chest Of tea,
In the shed with barrel of Hour;
And a bonnet was there, with dress Of mo-
Selected from some fairy bower.
A pair Of new shoes Ishe wore No. five's,.
Shawl. stockings and other dry goods,
In fact, such store as she re'er saw before
Since the day she moved out of the woods.
OF COURSE,
Her amazement was intense, and it was
half an hour before she could fully real
ize that Providence had thus rewarded
her for her resolution to keep Thanks
giving day, and be thankful for what
she had. Just as she had finished in
speeding the last article
A gallant knock was knocked on the door,
And responsive to her "co;ne in
In walked n gent. as slick rs u cent,
Or as neat rs any new pin.
He smiled sweet smile as he took a chair,
And his clothes were fitting and fine:
And this he did say to the widow Du Shay:
"Oh, widow, will you be miner"
She blushed bit and she hung her head,
And her hand he took in his'n:
And he stole kiss, which she didn't miss,
And but it's none O. your bizzen.
They were married that eve by parson tall.
And the storm cleared away very soon:
And they rode for an hour on a bridal tour,
In a sleigh by the light of the moon.
THAT'S ALL.
But this article should make . deep
impression on you.
Whenever you feel like saying hard
things of Thanksgiving because you
have nothing to be thankful for just re-

widow Du Shay had from falling upon
the stove in her sleep AMI increasing
her misfortunes by roasting her hose.

unfavorable Crop Reports.

LONDON, January 5.-The Max Lane
Epress' annual crop returns from forty
four correspondents, representing every
county in England, fully confirm the
worst accounts regarding the serious
failure Of the crops. The E,prcs' says;
The returns are the most discouraging
ever published. OF the four hundred
aud tweuty-ninc districts, from which
returns were collected, not one has pro
duced wheat or pea crop Of over the
average. Only two represent barley
crop aud only six bean crop as
over the average. Oats is the
only crop that is not thoroughly
bad. An examination OF ten
years tables will show that we have had
worse oat crops aud as bad u bean crop.
But for wheat, barley aud pears there
has been no year Of the the ten, and We
might 20 further back, nearly So un-
fruitful Even with respect to oats and
beans, il weight aud quality were taken
iuto account, no year Of the ten has
given such bad results. As TO wheat,
the disastrous failure Of the crop is
most slrikingly shown 10y the fact that
only four out oi i2a returns represent il
as up to the average. The remarks oi
our correspondents ~ to the condition
oi grains and pulse, are as dlshcartcn-
