IT. sitting with this little, worn-out shoe
And scarlet stocking lying ON my knee
l knew the little feet had battered through
The pearl-set gates that lie 'twiHt heaven and me

And look with glad eyes toward the Jasper Sea
IT. in the morning. when the song Of birds
Reminds me Of a music far more sweet,

And for the music Of his dimpled feet,
could be almos, happy, though heard
No answer and but saw his vacant seat.

And all it, cares and heartaches laid away,

And with a heart full of swret yearning, say,
Tonight I'm nearer to my little one
BY Just the travel Of a single day
II could know those little feet were shod
In sandals wrought of light in better lands
And that the footprints of a tender God
Ran side by side with his in golden sands,

Since Benny in wiser, safer hands.

And stain with tears the wee sock on my knee
/ would not kiss the tiny shoe, and say,
Bring back again my little boy to me!

And wait to meet him Ger deaths silent sea
But o! to know the feet, once pure and white

TranspIanting.

There is scarcely any operation in
gardening where there is so much OPP
portunity for the exercise of skill and
good Judgment as in transplanting.
The skillful gardener will move his
plants 50 that they will hardly receive
any check in their growth, while the
careless removal of plants or the choice
of too dry weather, with subsequent
neglect. occasions the loss of many
thousands of plants every year, and
much disappointment. In order to
bear transplanting well, the plant
should be in "A thrifty growing condition,
but not by any means drawn or
"long legged, as gardeners are wont To
call such plants as have suffered from
crowding or too rapid forcing under
glass. They should Ice grown in loan,
which favors tibrous growth of roots.
and should be well watercd il few hours
before moving. 50 as to have the roots
moist when moved. Then care should
he given to have the loan in which the
plants are planted moist enough and
warm enough to favor rapid growth ;
and if possible they should he shaded
from sun and wind for few days af-
ter transplanting, if the sun is hot

Remedy for Cabbage Worm.

OF all the many remedies that have
been tried for the imported cabbage
worm since it first began to spread over
the country and to play havoc with our
cabbage fields, few, if any, have given
entire satisfaction. 1t is safe to say
that the most satisfactory remedy 50
far discovered is the use of PNrcthcan.
We were the first to apply this i'll 1879.
but did not care to recommend 1t until
further experiments had been made.
These we have made the present year,
and caused to he made by Il number OF
our agents and correspondents. The
general experience is most favorable ;
we unhcSitatinglN recommend IT for all
the different worms affecting the leaves
of our cabbage plant. merjcdn Ehto-
mOIOgiSt
A farmer should so arrange his kltch-
en- garden that he can use both pillow
and cultiVator in its management. llr-
ed men have long ago forgotten the
use of the spade. and no farmer will
use it if he can avoid it. The hoe and
the rake are fast becoming implements
of the past Besides being much easier
for the farmer. the labor of the pillow
and cultiVatOr is much cheaper. M
man at the present day can afford ia
raise vegetables of any kind, on any
considerable scale, with spade, hoe and
rake.
