Mrs. Brown succeeded at last in

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me
To bid me "Good night" and be kissed;
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in a tender embraced
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven
Shedding sunshine and love on my face!
And when they are gone sit dreaming
Ofmy childhood. too lovely to last;
Oflove that my heart will remember
When 1t wakes to the pulse of the past.
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of Gladness within.
Oh, my heart grows weak as woman's,
And the fountain of feelings will flow,
When 1 think of the paths steep and stony;
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
Of the fountains of sin hanging DER them,
OF fthe tempest of fate blowing wild;
Oh, there's nothing on earth half SO holy
AS the innocent heart of a child.
They are idols of hearts and of households,
They are angels of God in disguise
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His sunlight still beams In their eyes;
Oh those truants from earth and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild
And know now how Jesus could liken
The Kingdom of God to a child.
Seek not for a life for the dear ones
All radiant as others have done
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sum-
I would pray God to guard them from evil
But my prayer would bound back to myself;
All! seraph may pray for a sinner.
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bended
have banished the rule and the rod
have taught them the goodness of knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness of God.
My heart is dungeon of darkness.
When shut them for breaking a rule,
My frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law of the school.

To traverse its threshold no more;
All ! how 1 shall look for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door.
shall miss the "Good nights" and the kisses
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
l shall miss them at noon and at even,
Their song in the school and the street;
shall miss the hum of their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death says the school is dismissed
May the little ones gather around me,
And bid me "Good night" and be kissed.

home materials, 100 pounds OF good
unleached hard wood ashes, contain
about seven pounds OF phosphoric

Muck contains both humic and apo
crenic acid, the latter is especially an
active fertihzing agent as it contains
considerable quantities OF nitrogen.
Alkalies decompose these acids and
put them into form that plants can

cultural value but vary in different
localities. Floating islands are i'm

Bones contain in 100 pounds,

these can be obtained in the woods

Bones prepared in this manner will
