Guernsey Cattle.

There has been a feeling widely
prevalent that milk and beef were an
tagonistic qualities-that a good mich
cow would necessarily make poor beef.
Facts do not sustain this notion.
Shorthorns are often great mixers and
such cows, when dry, fatten well:
The Dutch cattle fatten well also, and
so do the Devons, and yet both, es-
pecially the former, are famous for
milk. The Guernseys have been bred
for milk and butter, and at the same
time for beef points. The yellow color
in the skin and in the butter has also
been cultivated, so that it is exhibited
in an extraordinary degree. The cows
average one-fourth and possibly ONE
third heavier than the Jerseys, and
given on an average q proportionately
large quantity of milk. After they
have been longer tested, no doubt there
will be found many cows which will
compete closely with the famous Jer-
seys so well known as great milk and
butter cows--American Agricutturast

POETRY.
THE BIG SPRING SHOW.

Springs advertising agents come,
Unheralded by trump or drum,
To give, for April, May & Co.,
Announcement of the seasons show.
They stretch sign across the sky,
And every day it rises high,
Telling in print that all may see
The many wonders soon to be.
Announcements shine on plains and hills,
And rushing streams, and babbling rills
Are talking as they shout and sing
About the splendid show of spring.
On every field the words appear:
"You soon shall see marvel here"
In every forest, overhead:
"Here shall gorgeous tent be spread"
They capture all our ears and eyes,
And whisper of grand surprise:
They say the blue birds soon will bring
The wonders of the show of spring.
Our towns and cities they invade,
And fill the avenues Of trade;
Then straightway in the windows glow
Announcements of the seasons show.
The old, old show, yet always new,
That never fail to come when due
The sight that all rejoice to see,
And best of all, the show is free.

AT LAST

WheR my day of life the night is falling,
And in the winds from unsunned spaces blown,
hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who hast made my home of life so pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay;
Love divine, Helper ever present,
Be Thou my strength and stay!
Be near me when all else is from me drifting,
Earth sky homes pictures days of shade and shine
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
] have but Thee, o Father! Let thy spirit
Be with then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl no branch of palm merit
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if-my good and i'll unreckoned,
And both forgiven through thy abounding grace
] find myself by hands familiar beckoned,
Unto my fitting place;
Some humble door among thy many mansions,
Some shetering shade where sin and striving cease,
And flows forever through heavens green expansions
The river of thy peace.
There, from the music round about stealing,
fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find, at last, beneath thy trees of healing,
The life for which long.
John GreenIeaf Whittier, in March atlantic.

NOW is THE TIME FOR THE BABY TO WAKE,

Softly the shadows of night departing
Songs in the tree-tops the little birds make,
In the red East the big sun is upstarting-
Now is the time for the baby to wake;
Bonnie blue eyes which the white lids uncover
Sleeps rosy dreamland with laughter forsake,
Loud sings the Robin, the lark is a rover,
Now is the time for the baby to wake
Birds in the orchards and bees in the clover,
Now is the time for the baby to wake
Flowers in the woodlands their eyelids unfolding.
Shake from their petals the gems of the dew,
Cows in the pastures banquet are holding,
Soft wave the boughs where the turtle doves coo,
Lo, the white mist round the mountain tops sweeping
Borne on the morning winds scatter and break,
God shows his handiwork, who would be sleeping?
Now is the time for the baby to wake;
God shows his handiwork who would be sleeping?
Now is the time for the baby to wake.

LIFE AND DEATH,

Two tired feet falt ring DER a stony road,
Two eyes forever dim with bitter tears,
Two hands oppress'd by Pains unceasiag load,
heart forever stirred by anxious fears,
weary time of longings unfulflled,
dreary space of bitterness and strife,
A restless yearning never softly stilled,- :
And this is life.
Two quiet feet forever more at rest,
Two eyes by weary lids closed to all tears,
Two empty hands crossed DER pulseless breast,
heart serenely free from doubts and fears,
The glad content of hopes at last fulfilled,
The tender utt' rance from a voice which saith,
within my shelt'ring arms all fears are stl'd,"-
And this is death.

THE VATICAN'S RULING ON BAVARIAN
BEER,

writer in the Deutsches Montagb1att gives an
account of recent conversation with German
Catholic priest member of princely family,
who has more than once been reported as having
sanguine prospects of being made Prince of the
Roman Church. The talk turned upon the
famous brew of the Munich Court brewery.
"Do you know" asked the Prince "what they
think of Bavarian beer in Rome? Soon after
the year 1860 became parish-priest of Bava-
rian country village. One day the burgOmaster
came to me and said he wished to have my judg-
ment upon a very serious point-namely, whether
it was proper to drink Bavarian beer in Lent" 1t
appears that the good old father of the commune
had observed with CONSERVATION that the con-
sumption of beer increased to great extent
during the forty days of the fast, the peasants
lndemnltying themselves for their abstinence
from the flesh by extraordinary indulgence in
beer The pastor replied that he thought that
moderate enjoyment of beer was quite lawful
The President of the Commune, however was
not satisfied. A few days later he again went to
his prlncely reverence and solemnly asked him
whether he could not make an inquiry in Rome
as to the legality of the wholesale drinking of
" "Balerlsch" during Lent. The clergyman gladly
assented. II received a notification from the
highest authorities" he says, that no judgment
could be given on the beer question until the
beer had been seen and tasted" A small barrel
OF the very best Bavarian sent from the
village to the Eternal City, it was probably the
very first Bavarian beer which crossed the
threshold of the Apostles" The decision came
back from Rome without delay. The wine
drinking authorities in the Vatican ruled that
as much OF this singular liquid might be drunk
during Lent as man could bring himself to
drink! Not only so, but it was even added that
it might be regarded as a sort of penance when
man drank large quantity of so bitter and
nauseOus cOncoction!
