The farmer through the freshly -furrowed land
Strobe to and fro and at each step his hand
Took from a sack and scattered on the plain
Handfuls, to left and right, of wheaton grain.
"What is he doing 2" asked child, whom there
His tutor had led forth to breathe the sir
Between two lessons of arithmetic.
"Just what thou see'st him do" the tutor, sick
OF the child's frequent questions, peeyishly
Replied to this one" sowing bus ne 1 W.
"To make for thee, child, black, unbuttered bread
When thou hast misbehaved thyself." The child,
Somewhat abashed, but still unreconciled
TO ntignorance, paused, blushed, and then
Is sowing difficult?" he asked again.
To which last question, vainly more than once
Reiterated, not the least response ..-.
The tutor deigned
Some days afterward,
PLAYING alone about the garden-sward,
This child upon the gravel, with a stake
Plucked from the shrubbery, contrived TO MAKE
Small mimic burrows; having filed flor lack
OF any other more appropriate sacN
With finest sand his little piow-case,
A stolen prize; and, strewing DER each trace
Graved in the gravel by his tiny spud,
Handouts of sand he sowed 'twi1t heaps OF mud.
"What art thou doing, Paul? pretty mess!
Spelling my gravel-walks % In grave distress
The child to whom this Gliding voice appealed
Cried, sobbing: Father, let me sow my feld!'
From such field" the father, laughing, said, :,
"What dost thou hope to reap, Paul?" "Dry black
Bread" .-.
The child replied. The father laughed again.
"My little Paul, thou sow'st thy field in vain;
By sowing sand expect not to reap corn"
The boy hung down his head, with face forlorn;
8 But had nothing else to SOW, said he.
The father fell into reverie.
He was statesman; or men called him So
The field of Time with fruitful seed to sow
Was his profession. He had labored late
And early il the service Of the state
Between the Office and the Parliament
His days and nights industriously spent ....
Had left the deep burrows wherein Time sowed cares
On his own forehead. Nothing but gray hairs,
Grave habits, barren honor, joyless strife,
Grew in the faded field of his own life,
And, for the first time in that life, this day,
Panied by the sight Of his own child at play,
The pensive father asked himself s. Alack!
What have l in the bottom of my sack?" .-.

of their destiny, would have been

Nor is it improbable that many, who

home younger and handsomer bride,
the first wife found it hard to bear.
There are certain things very CALLING
about this Mormon custom. The first
wife is expected to treat the newcomer
as welcome guest, and If not in good
circumstances she must resign her sleep
ing-apartment to her-theres no humil-
iation spared the supplanted wife. She
must not only get down from her throne,
but she must place her rival upon it all
of which the wife did of whom l tell you.
She set her teeth so hard that no MUIR
muir escaped them, and became what
Mormon women all think the Lord in
tended they should be, martyrs. The
second wife was pretty, Anticipated
little creature, who had only married
Mr.. Black for the sake of home, with
out caring for him in the least, while
the first wife loved him devotedly. All
went quietly for a time, till M. Black
attained the grand object Of Mormon's
e.inbition. He was given what they call
q mission; that is, he was sent abroad to
proselyte. In his absence the two
wives lived together, and the second
wife attracted the attention of an inferi-
or man.
"The first wife was all amiability to the
second wife, especially when the in
ferior gentleman called. She discreetly
withdrew, and never seemed aware that
the two had fallen madly in love with
each other. So matters went on until
the return of the mutual husband. Wife
No. 2 found confession obligatory
The husband could not have been more
astonished if the heavens had fallen, and
1aved more about wife's shame and o
husbands honor than Othello himself.

cts him yearning after slaves. In
roads are made into the countries of
neighboring tribes, where villages
are burned and men, women, and
children are carried off into servitude,
with all the cattle that can be found.
This hankering after slaves and
other folks cattle drew on them the
peremptory interference of the En-
glish Imperial Government, which
otherwise desired that the entire South
African colonies should confederate
and become independent of parental
control.
The Zulu war, which has cost En-
gland so much, was directly due to tt e
turbulence of the Beers, who invaded
Zululand, were beaten and pursued.
and, to save themselves from destruc-
ton, invoked the aid Of Great Britain.
When the Zulu war was crushed, the
turbulence of the Beers reasserted
itself, and they have been struggling to
regain that independence to do as
they please, which they lost by their
own fault"

FARM SCENES IN NEW ENGLAND.

The cider mill challenged the boys
attention in the fall, when apples were
brought by the cart-load and dumped in
huge piles on the ground, then carried ii
large baskets to the hopper, to be con-
verted into pomace. The steady old
horse turned the creaking mill. When
the pomace was put into form and
pressed the sweet juice ran out into
tubs that invite sampling. Cups and
glasses were q barbarism the only
proper instrument for tasting and test

cherry cobbler was ever SO delicious as
that new cider. 1t was good sport to
hunt hens eggs, in obscure manger COR

settle on limb of the near peach tree,
and watch the process of hiving them !;

just where the lodge had left off. or
where it designed to begin; the circum-

had once given interest to the subject
was past, and in o measure forgotten.
AND am quite certain that great deal
OF the unfinished business will remain
unfinished still, to the end of the chap

In every turn in life it is the same.
How much is begun but never finished |
And 1t is not that which is begun but
that which is completed that constitutes

completeness will be accepted by the
world. Sometimes an unfinished poem
or sketch, or q partially completed
drawing, contains touches of genius not
found elsewhere, but they never live

rounded and complete.
When we see q person who is full of

POttu'9 Scare.

When Patty was O very, very little
girl, she one day took it into her curly
head to run away.
Her mother was busy at work and did
not miss her until she had been gone
some minutes. Then she looked out and
saw Patty's pink dress, like little flow
er, moving along slowly away down the
dusty road.
There was no one to send for the run
away, 80 the tired mother had to leave
the bread burning in the oven, and the
baby crying in the cradle, and start out
herself in the hot sun.
There was an old man coming ALONG
the road toward Patty, an old man that
she knew very well, but was really afraid
of him.
She need not have been, for he was
kind and pleasant; but he was O. queer.
simple old man, and everybody called
him old Daddy Morse.
Patty was so afraid that she turned
out OF the road and went along close by
the fence to get by him.
He saw the little girl was running
away, however, and, in the kindness of
his heart, he went and picked Patty ND
to carry ner back, and save her mother
the long, warm walk.
How frightened and angry little Patty
was! How she did kick and scream
The old man held on all the same
and tried to soothe her by gentle words;
but he might as we'll have talked to q
thunder-shower.
She screamed as loud as she could till
she met her mother and found herself
safe in her arms, and even then she
sobbed and cried for long time.
Her mother talked to her about run
ming away, told her it was naughty, and
that Daddy Morse was very kind to
bring her back, but Patty still sobbed
and sighed, and could not get over her
fright.
She shut the outside door, and stood
by the window watching in fear that the
old man would come again.
Pretty soon her brother Allie came
whistling across the yard. Patty opened
the door little crack. "M'in, Allie"
she said, in q trembling voice. "Man

Then her little kitty came around the
corner. "M'in, kitty" she called. "Man

TIE tradition that Cologne Cathedral
would never be finished took it's rise as
follows: A young architect in despair
at the refusal of his plans by Archbishop
Conrad went to the bank of the Rhine
meditating suicide, when there ap-
pcared the devil himself, who offered
him, in exchange for his soul, the plan
of the cathedral as it stands to-day.
The young man demanded twenty-four
hours for reflection, and submitted the
matter to his confessor, who suggested
that on the morrow, when Satan
showed him again the design, he should
seize it with his left hand, and, drawing
rapidly relic of st. Ursula from under
his robe with the right, strike the evil
spirit with it Oh the brow. This was
done. Satan said "Thats a cunning
trick of the church, but the design
which you seize shall never be finished,
and your name shall remain unknown.
AS he spoke he snatched away the upper
part Of the design. The young archi-
tect died of modification without recon-
structlng the plan. For years events
feemed to bear out the old legend.
