THELAND OF NOD.

Alice ". Brotherton, IN the Nursery.
Lest night 1 went to the Land o. Nod
Whit do you think saw there?
Why, ali The babies IN o. the world,
ellowh2ifed, da,lS hail ed, lrowsy and curled;
Some DARK, some te.w ny, some fa1r
"What is the way therep' On and on
Over the velvety sod
First you go up, and then you go down,
And then you come into Shut-eye toWl,
Away in the land of Nod.
The houses are made of jujube paste,
And the doors of plum cake Sliced;
And if you are hungry by day or night,
You may go to the door and nibble bite,
All plummy and iced and spiced.
The fountains, you know, run lemonade,
And their playing it never stops;
And whenever 1t rains in that fortunate tow l.,
Torrents of honey and cream come down,
And lemon and chocolate drops.
Oh, it SHOWS white sugar, and pink ice-cream,
And it freezes lemon-ice;
Tall Sugar-loaf hills all around you see;
And cookies and tarts grow on every tree,
And they taste remarkably nice.
''Tell you some more? % Oh, haven't the time;
But maybe, if each little elf
Will run and climb into mammals lap,
And cuddle right down for Il forty wiDks' nap,
He may see the land himself.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1880-08-11
Where Women Never Go.

During 500 years no woman is
known to have entered the grounds of
the monastery of Camadoli, Italy, ex-
cept once, when aprincess of the house
of Medica, who had a great desire to
behold the place, disguised herself in
mems clothing and was admitted.
But so stricken with remorse was
she on beholding the sacred spot that
she fastened to the Pope to confess
her fault, and as penance for it, was
commanded to build a new cottage
in the Enclosure, which she did. The
monastery is one of the few institu-
tions of the kind suffered to remain
in Italy. a recent visitor says that
what are called cells are comfortable
little dwellings. Each is surrounded
by wall, and has its garden twenty
feet square, A little piazza, with
the trunk of tree planed and
squared tor bench as its only turni-
ture, runs along the side of the house.
Entering the door, you find your
self in brick paved vestibule, with
au empty chamber where spring of
water is flowing into a basin on the
left, and The living rooms on the
right. These consist Of a study just
large enough for one person to sit
