IN DEEP DISGUISE.

Down I'm the mill town. dark and brown.
An old man erept to his cottage door
Trembling and shaking at every flown
OF the low-browed folks a. they walked before
Look ~ the miser. count your gold
Dr~am Of the sins ench piece has told
Bot he murmured low, As their keen t,unis fell-
Time will tell, Time win tell
Early and late, at the factory gate
With vithervd smile Ike = moeking fate.
To toll and mol for his seanty due
Sneers fell fast with little heed
For the hands are ruugher in word than deed;
Bat alike TO pity and Jrer there fell
Time viii tell Time will tell ="
Children stunned the little dell
Where the cottage stood. and the COW -boys on
Gbostly tales of their hermit cell
SCATTERED ike grain from a threading los:
For he was mi>rriy, lonely and old.
And his wife had died from . life Of cold
And his mind had wandered with words that fell
Time will tell, Time will tell"
Summer and Winter found him still
At his wontesi place by the shifting loom
The hands still gliding with old time skill
The flashing beams through the twilight gloom.
Old men died, and were laid away;
Younger men came, in their place to stay;
Time will tell! Time will tell, -
Hi. loom was dumb, one shivering day;
The thin, bent fingers had worked their last;
Hard by his hoard the old man law
Ciliching his wealth with hands locked fast;
While solemn smile his face enwreathed.
Where the herald came In the night and breafhcd,
And an echo faint on the stiffness fell
Time will tell Time will tell
All time did tell Where the cottage stood,
In the old pine grove by the mountain brook
That ran through the hollow-there in the wood,
A church tower rose from the sheltered nook
Twas hallowed light shed the miser's gold;
For this he had toiled in the days Of old
And the deep toned bell through the evening fell

A VALENTINE.

When first saw my little maid
Its not 80 many years ago
She wore her golden hair ahying;
More gold than sun did e'er bestov,
More soft than Summer breezes blow.
She used to be ny fairy then.
And home l watched her day By day,
And dreamed Of her sweet innocence,
And wondered whence she eame-the way.
II she slid down q sunboam's ray,
travelled much. ne'er forgot
The golden hair. my little queen:
kept place in my heart for her.
And il no other love could wean;
IL mantled all golden sheen.
don't know how how II came about.
But blessings on last Summer timei
Thus came To me my bright sunshine;
The miner found the diamond mine.
We rsmbled on the river side.
And lolled meath shade without q care:
Ne'er ceased my thoughts to think Of her,
And one day frum her head 50 fair,
stole lock Of golden hair.
And once in girlish jes; and play,
She asked, when stars above shone bright,
On her finger to wish her ing.
To wish may, Or wish 1 might,
And not to tell till wish comes right"
Yet have never told my wish.
sought no further in the mine.
Now covet the diamond bright,
II tell my love what wish was mine,
Ill tel all In q valentine.
The lock I stole. that Summer day.
When birds sang ont 10 sweet their lay,
About my heart Is coiled and wound,
And deep within nv love is found

THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS,

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray haired dame and the aged sire
Dreaming Of days gone by;
The tear drops fell On each wrinkled cheek,
They both had thoughts they could not speak.
And each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad and fearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sittingroom wall;
Oldfashion-d enough, As there they stood
Their sratt of flag and their frames of wood.
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
And with trembling voice, he gently said
Mother, these empty chairs
They bring US such sad thoughts tonight
Well put them forever out of sight,
In the small, dark room upstairs"
But she answered: Father, no, not yet;
For look at them, and forget
That the children are away;
The boys come back. and our Mary. too,
With her apron on Of checkercd blue
And sit there every day.
johnny still whites a ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
At evening. the three childish prayers
TO up to God from those little chairs
So softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the billow deep
Willie wakes from the battlefield sleep.
To say good might to me:
Mary a wife and mother no more,
But q tired child whose play time Is DER.
And comes to rest a my knee.
80 let them stand there. though empty now.
And every time when alone We bow
At the Fathers throne to pray.
Well ask to meet the children above,
In our Saviour's home Of rest and love
Where no child goeth away"

If you have an extra COW, be sure and raise
her hefer calf unless it is quite certain from ITS
physiological disagreement with the mother
that it will not follow her milking qualities.
You need not waste pound of butter in raising
the calf. Take it from the mother the third
day, feed it new milk for two or three days,
then skim milk, then buttermilk and skim milk,
and soon it will take such refuse as readily as a
pig. You can make thick cruel on which the
calf will thrive, and by little extra feeding in
the fall will make good beef if you desire it.
A little care will prevent securing" and keep
the calf healthy on this diet

If wound is made n tree when it is not
growing it does not heal mp readily, but the
wood dies back and leaves scar for several
wears. wound made while the tree is growing
vigorously commences to heal Immediately, and
will usually be covered with new bark in one or
two years; therefore, when it is necessary to re-
move n large limb, cut it off in winter short
distance from the tree, leaving a snag about one
foot long; in the sixth month (June) cut the
snag close and smoothly, and the wound will
soon be healed over.

THE white of an egg has proved, of late, the
most eficacious remedy for burns. Seven or
eight successive applications of this substance
soothe pain and effectually exclude the burn
from the air. This simple remedy seems prefer
able to collodion even cotton. Extraordinary
stories are told of the healing properties Of new
oil which is easily made from the yelk of hens
eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard, and the
yelks are then removed, crushed, and then
placed over a fire. where they are carefully stir
red until the whole substance is Just on the
point Of catching fire, when the yelk will yield
nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil. 1t is in general
use among the colonists of South Russia as a
means of curing cuts, bruises, and scratches.
