Miss Merriweather was just finishing off her
table arrangements with great dish of
oranges, when Daddy Skifkins came skipping
out, in much excitement
Miss Prue," he exclaimed, "there's fell

ing so fast? And Mrs. Baker and Granny
Larkins says he shan't come in but it seems
rather rough on fellow that he has no place
| to go to, and don't think he has, and"
| "Of course he can come in" said Miss Prue,
settling the large orange. "Wait-Tll let him
in myself"
AS she opened the door a tall form in
rough gray overcoai, all dappled with enow
walked in.
"Pruew exclaimed n deep voice just little
tremulous.
And without further notice the tall and
saucy stranger gave Miss Prue very snowy
hug.
"Jim-Jim Griggs-isit really your" cried
Miss Pruc, returning the hug, in the face of
all the guests, who had trouped into the
hall, with Mrs. Potter and Meg close behind
Its Jim Griggs and nobody else" returned
the stranger cheeriy. "And every year for
this past ten it's been my intention to come
home on this very day of this very month,
because it's the anniversary of that day l

and robbed afterwards; and when got in a

Mr.. Griggs finished his explanation before
the bounteous fire, with Daddy Skifkins re-
volving around him in a perfect ecstasy, and
everybody talking at once.
Miss Prue took the opportunity toindulge
in a thankful little cry behind the dining
room door.
But it somehow happened that while the
guests were enjoying their banquet-for
which Mrs. Bakers appetite was not found
to be seriously impaired by Daddy Skifkins
presence-Mr. Griggs persuaded Miss Prue
to take little walk with him as far us the
minister's residence,

when she heard the news. "But, law sakes ~

Which remark did not trouble the late Miss |

THE BELLS OF SHANDON.

by FRANCIS MAHoNEY.
With deep affection and recollection
often think of the Shandon bells,
whose sounds so wild would, in days of childhood
Fling round my cradle their magic spells.
On this ponder where'er wander,
And thus grow fonder sweet Cork, of thee:
With thy bells of Shandon,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
have heard bells Ginning full many cline in,
Tolling sublimely in cathedral shrine;
While at a glib rate brass tongues would yibrate,
Rut all their music spoke naught to thine;
For memory. dwelling on each proud swelling
OF thy belfry kneing its bold notes free,
Made the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee
l have heard bells tolling "old Adrian mole in,
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican
With cymbals glorious. swinging uproarious
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame:
But thy sounds were sweeter than the dome of
Peter
Filings DER the Tiber, pealing soemnly.
Oh, the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of theriver Lee
There's a bell in Moscow, while on tower and
kiosko
In st. Sophia the Turkman gets,
And loud in air calls men to prayer
From the taperng summit of tall minarets
Such empty phantom freely grant them.
But there's an anthem more dear to me-
It's the bells of Shandon,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.

PACKING BUTTER TO KEEP.--It is assert
ed by experienced dairymen that the butter
of some breeds of cows can not be made to

worked out, and only the purest salt used
much depends upon this. The head of the
tub should not touch the butter, which is TO

brine. Keep the butter in q cool place

The Use of the Cellar.

Every one knows the Importance of a good
cellar in preserving vegetables, but to those
who grow flowers it is of equal value in keep
ing plants not used as food. There are many
things which can be kept through the winter,
in state ofsuspended animation, so to speak,
provided they donot actually freeze orbecome
killing dry.
The temperature should be kept as near 40
degrees as possible. Light, if admitted at
all, should be but little, at most sort of
twilight, for we do not wish the plants to
grow, but TO keep in state of complete rest
1t will not do to utterly neglect the plants
thus stored. They will need very little water,
but, especially towards spring, must have
enough to sustain life In such cellar may
be kept those shrubs that arc Just on the
verge of hardness The variegated Hollies,
Cape Jessamines, Oleanders, Pomegranates,
and long list of the evergreen plants, also
Fuchsias and other deciduous shrubs that
have complete rest during winter. Gerani-
ums and other bedding plants taken up and
planted out in boxes of soil, will keep all al.
most as well in the cellar, as in n greenhouse
Indeed, good cellar well used, is worth
more to the average amateur than n green.

OvERDosING ANIMALs.-It is poor prac-
tice to be continually dosing animals. When
we see farmer frequently visiting the drug
store for medicine for his stock, the impress
sion is that there is something radically
wrong in his management. He is the "sck
one" and needs the aid of a good physician
some one to show him that sickness rarely
happens on well ordered farm; that clean,
warm stables, and plenty of good feed pure
water in abundance, etc, are far better than
their opposltes, with all the physc that the
largest drug store can supply. Nothing is
more clearly proved than the Importance of
care and keeping of the right sort for the
health of farm animals and their profitable
growth and increase. Sickness will some
times comes with the very best management
where and it does it is better to employ skilled
hands to cure than to doctor" and "physic,"
and perhaps kill the valuable animal, your
self, that under proper treatment might have
been saved at trifling expense.
