More Green Peas.

from August to May We have the canned

is next door to fresh garden picked. 1t Is
little trouble now to grow ones own peas
early, medium and late varieties. Given
fair soil, with some well rotted manure,
if il is needed, and our programme runs
thus: Just as soon as the snow Is of and
deep freezing not expected, and the ground
dry enough to work at all, in 20 the peas,
even if the first heads starting do get a
frost nip--peas win stand that. We plant
some Improved Daniel 0'Rouken and
some Alpha also some Of the ~Ameri-
can Wonder and some Champion Of
England. all on the same day. The frst
named is comparatively poor, but cooked
in milk with a triie Of sugar added, it goes
very vel, far better than none. The

the time the 0'Rouke and Alpha are eaten,

BY the time these 20, along comes the king

after the first sowing, and for two weeks,

EASTER EGGS.


Trinity bells, with their hollow lungs,
And their vibrant lips and their brazen tongues,
Over the roofs the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar,
TIL the soaring notes to the sun are rolled,
As he swings along in his path of gold.
Dearest papa" says my boy to me,
As he merrily climbs on his mothers knee
swhy are the eggs that you see me hold
Colored so finely with blue and gold
And what is the wonderful bird that lays
such beautiful eggs OH Easter days.
Tenderly shine the April skies,
Iike laughter and tears in my child's blue eyes;
And every face in the street is gay,
Why cloud this boys by saying nay?
So cudeel my brains for the tale he begs,
And tell him this story of Easter eggs
You have heard, my boy, of the Man who died,
Crowned with keen thorns, and erucifed,
And how Joseph the wealthy-whom God reward :
Cared for the corpse of his martyred Lord,
And piously tombed it within rock,
And closed the gate with mighty block.
Now close by the tomb fair tree grew,
with pendulous leaves and blossoms Of blue,
And deep in the green trees shadowy breast
beautiful singing bird sat on her nest,
Which bor,iered with moses like malachite,
And held four eggs of an ivory white.
And now when the bird, from her deep recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial dress,
And looked on the heavenly face 50 pale,
And the dear feet pierced with the cruel nail.
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden pang,
And out o the depths other sorrow she sang
All night long, till the moon was up,
She sat and sang in her moss-wreathed cup,
A song of sorrow 50 loud and shrill
AS the homeless wind when it roams the hills
So fun of tears, 50 loud and long,
That the grief Of the world seemed turned to song.
But soon there came through the weeping night
A differing angel clothed in white,
And he rolled the stone from the tomb away
where the Lord Of the earth and heaven lay.
And Christ arose in the cayern's gloom,
ana in living lustre came from the tomb
When the glittering white-robed angel heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving bird,
And heard the following chant Of mirth
Tha. hailed Christ risen again on earth,
He said sweet bird, be forever best
Thyself thy eggs. and moss wreathed nestF'
And ever. my child, since that blessed night
when Death bowed down to The Lord Of Light,
The eggs of that sweet bird changed their hue,
And burned with red and gold and blue,
Reminding mankind in their simple way.

Enterprise Extraordinary.

Most of our readers, If not all, will remem-
Der that little over year ago the magnih-
cent structure at Buffalo, n. Y, known as
Pierce's Palace Hotel, was entirely destroyed
by fire. We doubt, however, If many OF those
who saw notice Of the cOntlagration at the
time are prepared for the announcement, just
made by the propretors, that since that oc-
currence another structure, six stories hlgn
and one hundred feet square, has been com
pleted, and that it is now open for the recep-
ton of patients. Yet such is the fact.
In the erection and furnishing of this mass
i've and elegant building, nothing has been
omitted that would In any manner tend to
benefit the afflicted, or to add to their COM
fort. Ten physicians and surgeons, eminent
In their respective specialties, constitute the
professional staff of the institution, and
persons suffering from chronic and other all
ments will doubtless find here veritable In
valid's Home. All inquiries as to terms, etc,
receive prompt attention, and should be adj
dressed to Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-

The Secretary Bird.

1t must not be supposed that the Sec
retarv Bird, which has its home in South
Africa, received its name because it is
in the habit of writing letters for other
birds, or attending to the correspond
ence of any living creature. On the
contrary, there is no other reason Tor
his singular name than the fact that he
has behind one ear a tuft OF feathers,
somewhat resembling a quill pen stuck
behind the ear OF a clerk. This bird has
another name-that Of SnQke-Eater-
which seems much more suitable; for the
most remarkable thing about the Secre-
tarv Bird is his habit of feeding upon
large snakes.
There is a story told~about the way
the Secretary Bird came to be snake
eater, which is, | am quite sure, moth
inc but mere fable, but which may be
of interest TO those who have heard Of
/ the peculiarities of this curious and in

Charlie and the Deer-A True Story.

Charlie visited park with his mother
and younger brothers. 1t was pleas
ant place. There was a high tower,
and stands, and pavilions, and it was
we'll shaded.
1t was just as he was ready to leave
the park that he saw deer. The deer
came toward him. He seemed very
tame. He licked Charles hand and
the hands of the others. He seemed
delighted at being caressed.
But somehow he really seemed to
be most pleased with Charles atten
tions He rubbed his head against
Charlie, as if he wanted to say: a
love YOU" Sometimes his manner was
little too earnest TO be quite agreeable.
There was. perhaps, the least hint in
the world of bunting; but Charlie
thought it was only the deer's way OF
showing his love. 30 mamma ne
cried, "he loves me better than any oi
you.'
Then mamma and the children
walked slowly toward the gateway.
| Charlie followed, still playing with the
deer. She was startled by a sudden
cry OF distress: Mamma, mamma,

deer bounding off at full speed with

could not even hold on to the deer:

The head of large business firm in
Boston, who was noted for his keenness
n discerning character, was seated at
1is desk one day, when young Irish
.ad came up and took off his hat smi-
ing. -,
EDO you want boy, sir?"
Mr.. j. looked at him.
81 did not a minute ago. But L do
now, and you are the boy"
He said afterward that he was COM
pletely captured by the honest, frank,
all-aliye face before him. The boy en-
tered his service, rose to be confidential
clerk, and is now successful merchant.
Here is another story in which our
ooy-readers may find hint worth at
;entiOn.
Thirty years ago, Mr.. H., a nursery
man in New York State, left home for
! dav or two. 1t was rainy weather
and not the season for sales, but Gus
:omer arrived from a distance, tied up
his horse and found his way to the
6itchen Of the farmhouse, where two
lads were cracking nuts.
''Mr H. at home?"
"No, sir" said the eldest, Joe, ham
mering at nut.
"When will he be back?'
"Dunno, sir. Mebbe not for week. y
The other boy, Jem, jumped up and
followed the man out. 1.-The men are
not here, but can show you the stock, ="
he sad, with such bright, courteous
manner that the stranger, who was a
little irritated, stopped and followed
him through the nursery, examined the
trees and left his order.
"You have sold the largest bill that
[ have had for this season, Jem, his
father, greatly pleased, said to him on
his return.
I'm sure" said Joe, sullenly, I'm
as willing to help as Jem' if L d thought
in time"
A few wears afterwards, these two
BOYS were left by their fathers failure
and death with but two or three hun
lred dollars each. Joe with then
bought an acre or two near home. The
land was poor. the crops scanty, the
market low. He has worked hard anc
faithfully, but is still a poor, discomfort
I'd man. Jem bought an emigrant'
ticket to Colorado, hired as cattle
driver for a couple Of years, with hi
wages bought land at forty cents al
acre, built him house and married
His herds of cattle are numbered by thu
thousand, his land has been cut up TO
own lots, and he is ranked as one 0
he wealthiest men in the State.
4 might have done like Jem, hi
brother said lately, "if I'd thought il
lime. There's as good stuff in me as il
him"
His wife, hearing him, gave sorrow
tul laugh. There's as good stuff i
that loaf of bread as in any | eve
made" she said. But nobody ca
it. There is not enough yeast in it.
The retort, though disagreeable, wa
rue.
This quick, wide-awake energy whic
acts as leaven in character is partl
natural. But it can be inculcated b
parents and acquired by boy, if h
chooses to keep his eyes open and to ac
as promptly and boldly in every eme
rency. - Youths Companion.
