THE KING or NAY.

He wasn't very pretty,
He wasn't very wise,
And he stood, when asked question,
In paralyzed surprise.
4 freckled lad, o specified lad
Who ac0uld turn in his toes,
~ d-thOugh not absolutely bad
Had such funny nose!
he hadn't any manners, #
He didn't know his books,
And mus. own his principles
Did not belle his looks.
He was clumny ct work, and awkward atplay;
Then why did they make him King Of May?
Yes blithely, in circle,
They whirled around their king;
And there he stood, half crying
Half pleased to hear them sing,
I'LL IN his heart, q mighty part
Was given him to do;
Kmotion thrilled his little breast
And gave him fervor new:
"rll do it! that will |" he thought.
It isn't much. ought"
.Oh do! Oh dol" sang they,
"And we win crown You King Of Nav!
1'rIl do it! Yes, I'll do It'll"
His heart sang back again,
Until ray of loneliness
Came to his face so plain.
His eyelids quivered he almost shivered;
His young form stood erect
When manly thoughts stir boyish souls
What else can you expect?
And still they sang their roundelay,
The circling girls SO sweet and gay,
About their King, their King Of May!
Hark! The King is speaking;
The eager girls press near
BE says aloud, "Tl do i'll"
In ringing voice and clear.
And from his pocket, as from socket,
Slowly he drew it FORTH
aRe looked to East, he looked to West
he locked to South and North
The skies their best assurance gave,
Twas noble to be kind and brave.
He drew it forth, he gave it over,
AS though he were each maiden's lover.
As though it were his life.
The thing they'd begged for hours and hours
To cut the May pole vines and flowers
That little rascars knife!
All, see them see them! well-a-day!
How gleefully they skip away.
Leaving alone their King of May,
His brief reign ended. Well-a-day!

of the bushes and sprouts. Next the small sap

of ten twelve feet rolled into piles by number

not used for fencerails deadened. Such trees
oak yellow poplar, red hickory, chestnut black wal
nut, &C., had thin layer of white wood next the
bark, with the inside of darker color. By cutting
girdle with an AK around the tree, into this dark
wood, the tree would speedily die. There other
trees off different kind like the beech and maple,
that could only be killed by cutting through the bark
in August and then 1t would take year or two for
them TO die. White poplar trees generally
small, and were killed by cutting the bark and taking
strip at time and pulling 1t loose from the tree up
a distance of fifteen twenty feet and letting the
strips hang Gum trees could not be killed. have
them cut down and cut into logs, and after that
the logs would put out sprouts, with green healthy
leaves.

cept horses and CATTLE the grain &C., being consumed
by the family. Corn was the principal crop. The
newly cleared ground was scratched with shovel

plowing. The roots of the beech and hickory were
the most troublesome, running everywhere, just nm

life, and OF newspapers as Well--SO we re-
vive the old and amusing story of the
miller who sometimes had crazy fits, in
which lie always imagined himself to be

On these occasions he would put on a
paper crown, ascend a pile of meal-bags,
with great dignity, and call his neighbors
in succession. The same ones were al
ways judged, and they were the millers of
his vicinity.
The first one summoned was Hans
Schmidt.

PAT AND THE PIG.

We have read of Pat so financially fiat
That he had neither money nor meat,
And when hungry and then, it was whispered by sin
That he ought to steal something to eat.
So he went to the sty of widow near by,
And he gazed on the tenant-pOOr soul!
"Arrah now" said he, what trate that'l be-
And the pig of the widow he stole.
In feast he joined; then he went to the Judge:
For, in spite of the work and the lard,
There something within that was sharp as pin
For his conscience was prickng him hard.
And he said with a tear, "Wil your reverence hear
What have in sorrow to say?"
Then the story he told, and the tale did unfold
fthe pig he had taken away.
And the Judge to him said, ERE yOu go to bed,
You must pay for the pig you have taken;
For tits thus by my SOUL you'll be saving your SOUL
And will also be saving your bacon."
"Oh, be jabers," said Pat, 81 can niyer do that
And Pm wretched indade If penny 1t made
Any pace for ME conscience to buy"
Then in sorrow he cried and the judge replied
"Only think how you'll tremble with fear
When the Judge You shall meet at the great Judgment
And the widow you plundered while here"
"Win the widow be there?" whispered Pat with Il
stare,
"And the pig? by me sowl, is it thrue9"
"They will surely be there" said the judge, Il de-
And, oh Paddy! what then will you do9"
MANY thanks" answered Pat, "for your ellin' me
. May the blessings upon you be big! ran,
On that sittlement day to the widow I'll say,
Mrs. Flanagan, here is your pg!"'

About Drinking.

No water that has stood in open
vessels during the night should be
used for drinking or cooking. By
exposure to the air it has lost its "ara-
tion," and has absorbed many of the
dust germs floating in the air. If
convenience requires water to be kept
in vessels several hours before use, it
should be covered. Eiltering always
adds to the purity of the water.
Drinking water should not be taken
from rivers and lakes on low level.
Surface water, or water in lakes pools
or rivers which receive the surface
wash, should be- avoided as much as
possible. Do not drink much water
at a time. More than two tumbler-
fuls should not be taken at meal.
Do not drink much between meals, as
excess of water weakens the gastric
juice and overworks the kidneys. Ex-
cessive potations, whether of water or
other fluids, relax the stomach, impair
it's secretions and paralyze its move
ments. By drinking a little at a time
injury is avoided.

THE following reasons why letter
don't go are given by the Cincinnati
Saturday Night: Because you forget
to address it. Because you forget to
stamp it. Because you forget to write
the town or state on the envelope.
Because you cut out an envelope stamp
and pasted it on your letter. Because
you wrote the address on the top of
the envelope, and it was obliterated by
the post-otfice stamps. Puck adds an
other reason: Because you forgot to
write the letter."

A young couple in their honeymoon
are dallying languidly with the grapes
at dessert. She (archly): sand you
don't find it tiresome, dear, all alone
with me? You are quite, quite sure
thatyou don't wish to go back to your
bachelor life again?" He Earnestly:
"Quite, my darling. Indeed, married
life is so awfully jolly that, you know,
if you were to die tonight, I'd get
married again tomorrow"
