A sweeter secret hides behinA Nv nama.
And love steals shyly through the sood 40
claim
TO murmur a God bless youl aud thcre ends.
AS 1 muse backward up the checkered years
Wherein so much was given, SO 10 was
lost,
Blessings in both kinds, such as cheaper
tears
But hush this is not for p~rofaner ears;
Let them drink molten pearls nor dream the
COST.
Some suck up poison from n sorTow's core,
AS naught but nightshade grew upon ogtn's
ground; nIff
Love turned all his heart's-easA and the more
Fate tried his bastions, ehe bot fdgosd u door
Leading TO sweeter man hood ana
Even as a w%ind-waved fountatn's swastng

Seems of mixed race q gray wrath ssot With
So through his trial faithsr~nsAucsut rnyed

Plants in the Kitchen.

Plants thrive in the kitchen-provided
it "a sunny-and add much to its COM
Portable appearance. Why not cultivate
the useful a. well as ornamcntalp Pars-
lev. chives, Dress, lettuce, shallots and
herbs Of various kinds belong to this
olass. These may be grown Singly in
flower pots, or q window box to contain
the entire collection may be provided.
In either case tho perennial or biennial
species, such a. parsley, chives, sage,
eto., should be t~ransplanted, but not re-
moved TO the kitchen before freezing
nights threaten. Seeds of crcss, lettuce,
radishes, ETC., may be sown any time
after the boxes are IN their permanent
Quarters. Il would be well to store a
few pots Of parsley in the cellar, rs q
reserve for replacing those that may
lack IN vigor or become exhausted. A
Kitchen window box, with geraniums or
petunias In the center, green herbs and
pink blooming chivcs as n middle bord-
CT, the curly leaves Of parsley and cress-
q hanging over the edges and sides, and
English and German ivics twining
around the window frame, would form a
bright foreground to the s~now-covered
LANDSCAPE without. Not only pleasure
and enjoyment might thus be added to
the precincts Of the kitchen, but many
IN aromatic herb for flavoring, and
many crisp, fresh leaves for garnishing
0 cH6ioe dish, might be picked from the
htchsn window garden. Think of this,
housekeepers, and try the plan for your
selves mont winter.
