So near, The moon above the trees

The thought that one who longing waits
Might hear a whisper sweet and low,
Across the golden-portaled gates.

Learning to Sew.

To be handy with the needle is one OF
the sterling accomplishments Of every ed
ucated woman. To be able to take the
" stitch in time, is worth all the time
and trouble that are required to learn
the art. Like walking, reading, and the
many other things which we come to do
without special thought, the learning to
sew Is slow process, and should be be-
gun while the child is still quite young.
The girl should not only have the use of
the thread, needles and patchwork, but
be instructed how to take the stitches,
turn the corners, and do the various
things corrected with needlework. We
are not excluding the boys in our re-
marks, because they need to learn to
thread needle, and do general sewing.
Men are many times so situated that they
must depend upon themselves for their
necessary sewing. Even if it is an age
of sewing machines, it is best that all
children should learn to use the simple,
common. old-fashioned kind which can
never be wholly superseded. The amuse-
ment and occupation that sewing furnish
es little folks afford sufficient reason why
all mothers should see that their girls
and boys, too, learn to sew-but the prac-
teal use of the needle in after life is the
principal thing. after all.-Ame,1can Aq-
ricultuaist.
