LAST YEARS NEST.

when Ne rss gnf S snd .r ne
The world one bower Of pure delight,
Thorough which our thoughts Jew here and
Like young birds trying callow wings.
Or like a child's first conscious looks
Upon the eArth's most lovely Things.
What was 1t first that came betweenP-
Well, he was proud and was coy:
And so We dropped each others hands
And said good-by to early JOY.
But in year he came again
He could not stay away. he said;
But I had suffered, till thought
That should never care to we'd.
1t was the spring-time of the year,
And from the young grass at our feet
The fresh blue viOlets looked up,
Like faces pityinRly sweet.
And, as we talked, we passed beneath
And. looking up through it's scant green,
A vacant nest CHANGED to see.
Then, with sod eyes that sought his own,
Pride wrestling with my hearts behcst,
pointed to it, as l said:
"Therc are no birds in last years nestv'
We parted then. He one way went,

But still the binding tears would come.
And 80 the years crept sadly by,
And yet my life was all my own;
walked to meet the setting sun
Wistful, and quiet, and alone.
But always when the robins came,
With the first delicate leaves of spring,
The violets brought back the past,
And had never heart to sing
But one sad song, that DER and DER
Ran in my head-.sYet it was best

"Thcre are no birds in last years nestT"
And so it fell, one April morn,
passed beneath that self-samc tree,
And with a bound my heart woke up,
Clamored, and would not let me be.
"ls that the very nest?" I thought.
1t hung, wind-shaken, by thread;
Ragged. deserted, bare and lone,
Its blithe inhabitants all fed.
"'Tis my life's type!" and, looking down,
saw the viOlets in the grass
Look up, like faces of loved wives,
To see Il withered maiden pass.
Somehow, was so weak just then
With pain never had confessed,

My fOolishness should never see.
A hand upon my shoulder. "Lois!

I'm not ashamed to come so late,
Though you will shame me if you're cold
"John! Your" would not let him see
My face of middle age, tear-stained:
But from between my fingers came
The words, sob-choked-andh he had gained
For now he knew-no matter what
might be-that was not cold,
And, man-like, sprang into the breach,
And down the wall crashed in his hold!
1t was not then, but after that.

Two birds-half-impudent, half-shy-

Oev0Co large farms 10 the production OF
tomatoes, sweet corn and berries. The
instances are now becoming numerous
of farmers planting forty or more acres
to cucumbers or melons. The number
of persons who are devoting their entire
attention to wheat-growing is increas-
ing year by year. Many Of them hire
their land plowed, employ costly ma
chimes for harvesting, and do their
threshing by steam power. They de-
vote as little attention to general farm
ing as the mechanic or merchant does.
As capital increases and the methods
of transportation improve, still more
persons will abandon domestic or GEN
eral farming to engage in specialties.
The arguments in favor of specielties in
farming are as conclusive as those in
favor Of specialties in trade and manu-
featuring. A person will learn to do
one kind of work quicker and better
than he will several kinds. Every soil
is specially suited to the production of
some particular crop. Others may be
raised on it, but they will not do as
well. Every location is better adapted
to certain agricultural pursuits than
others are. Every climate is more
favorable to certain crops than to 9TH
ers. Every farmer has his individual
tastes and capabilities, and he can only
employ them tothe greatest advantage
when he is engaged in specially to
which he is naturally adapted. Chicago

Theory,

New York, l6.-Dr. Tanner attended
the lecture Of Emma Hardinge Britain,
yesterday morning. It was not known
by the audience or the lecturer that he
was present 10 the hall. Mrs. Britain,
in closing her remarks on magnetism,
referred to the doctor, and the wonderful
example he had given of the ascendancy
of Twill over matter. She asserted that
the density Of population, the magnetic
influence of the multitude, the aroma of
food, made his fest possible in this city,

C Iuntly and in solitude, the body would
soon be exhausted by the vigorous and
consuming oxygen. At the close OF her
remarks Hell-dressed, sharp eyed man
arose and obtained permission to address
question to the speaker, who introduced
himself as the subject of the lady's re-
marks. All eyes were turned in surprise
upon DR.. Tanner, who said: "If l had
continued my fast in Clarendon Hall
without the aid of the air in the park,
could not have contiRued twenty days.
indeed, the brscing air of the Minnesota
prairie made it possible for me 10 con-

Ny experiment in this city was attended
with far greater difficulty; therefore, my
experience is not in accordance with your
theory Of magnetic forces" Mrs. Brit
tain did not attempt to sustain her theory
The doctor looked fresh and vigorous,
and TALKED to many who surrounded him
before he left the hall.
