The cultivation of timothy should be
made as serious business as that of any
other important crop. Grass is the
most important crop we produce, but is
rarely given the care and attention it
deserves. The peculiar growth of tim
othy requires somewhat thin seeding,
because the stools need room to spread
in. Without this room. and with a
dense sod, the grass is smothered,
crowded out, and perishes. On this ac-
count 1t is not grass for permanent
meadows and pastures. For these we
require other varieties that spread by
running roots, but yet timothy should
be one of the kinds sown for permanent
grass. 1t requires some years for the
thick sod of a pasture to form, and while
the less robust grasses are occupying the
soil the timothy contributes its valuable
support to them and helps fill the
ground. Where it is moved, at least
four inches of stubbie should be left to
protect the roots from the sun ana dry
ing winds.

Many persons who would scorn the
idea of telling lie, will yet be guilty Of
acting lie all their lives. They will
perhaps be engaged to work for another
a certain number of hours, yet will shirk
or half do their work, making their life
lie. 1t is as much crime to act false
ly as to speak falsely. It is an unsatis-
factory and Improbable thing to be a
loafer. Once fully embarked on the sea
of loaferdom, and you bid farewell to
every friendly sail That sails under an
honest and legitimate flag. Your con-
sorts will only be buccaneers of society.
1t costs money, for, though the loafer
may not earn cent or have one for
months, the time lost might have pro-
cured him much money, if devoted to in
dustry instead of sloth. 1t costs health,
vigor, comfort and all the pleasure of
living, honor, dignity, self-respect, and
the respect of the world when living,
and finally all fright of consideration when
dead. Be a gentleman, then, it is far
cheaper.

1t was indeed the wind that Pitalugue

that at regular intervals of three seconds

THE DAY IS DONE.
BY H. W. LoNGFELLoW.

The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of Night
As feather is waited downward n
From an eagle in his fight.
L see the lights of the village
CLEAN through the rain and the mist,
And feeling of sadness comes DER me
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain, srr
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles rain. .Ef
Come, read to me some poem.
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For like strains Of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeayor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humble poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
AS showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies. @ +
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows evening prayer.
Thus read the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the past
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filed with music
And the cares, that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

recently had thrilling encounter with
panther. Davis was out hunting, when
the panther sprapg at him from the low
er limb OF an oak tree. Fortunately. it
yaulted over his head, and, recovering
from his surprise, he shot at and wound
ed 1t badly. The panther crept along
the ground toward him, seemingly deter
mined to Stay him. Davis fred again,
and this time the shot was fatal, the
charge lodging in the panther's head and
killing it in a short time. The animal
was an unusually large one, measuring s
feet. inches.

SOWING THE WIND.
T

All Pertuis was busy sowing beans.
From the heights of the Luberon to
the shores of the Durance the peasants
all were at work, and in the town the
worthy tradesman said, as they looked
out upon the little specks OF white and
red:
''If the rains are timely, and the seed
is good, France will not have beam
famine this year."
For be 1t known that Pertuis makes
humble pretensions to supplying all
France with haricots. Pertuis might,
had it been so minded-for soil and CHI
mate both were favorable cult
waited madden, like Avignon, or teazles,
like Saint-Remy; might have gilded it's
fields with grain, like Aries, or have red
dened them with tomatoes, like Anti
bes; but Pertuis preferred the bean, a
modest leSume, but lacking neither in
grace nor coquettishness when its fine
climbing spirals and quantity marked
leaves tromble in the breeze.

All but those of Pitalugue, it should
be said. His patch remained redeemed
and dry, made still more melancholy by
it's rows of withered poles.

calmly.
But when, from the Luberon to the
Durance, every bean plant in the plain
put forth thousand white blossoms
when all these flowers turned into crisp.
green pods, and it was seen that only the
haricots of Pitalugue neither lowered
nor bore, decided sensation was caused
in the town.
Malicious folks began to nudge each
other and grin; the superstitious made
pilgrimages to view ''the accursed field;"
NJ. Cougourdon became uneasy, and La
Zoun took up her dwelling at the hut
and gave her days and nights to heaping
indignant reproaches upon the sun and
the soil.

What was to be done? Go home and
confess all to La Zoun? Impossible !!
Buy more beans? Yes, without the first
penny! Borrow from a friend? Then
the whole story would come out.
For five minutes Pitalugue was In the
depths of despair; then, as we have al
ready seen, he resolved upon a manly
and courageous course.
6 can't SOW BEANS" he said to him
self, "because have none, but can 90
through the motions. La Zoun will not
suspect anything one never knows where
luck will strike. Besides, there is time
for lots of things to happen between now
and harvest"
Many things, indeed, did happen be-
fore harvest time to the no small sur
prise of the people of Pertuis.
For, look you, Pitalugue, torn by re-
morse and fearing to be discovered, gave
up gambling and cut the tavern. Late
and early he might be seen in his little
patch OF farm working himself fairly to
death. Never had beans received such
attention as his haricots which did not
exist at all. Nightly at sunset be wa
tered them, giving each row its due al
lowance and no more; when the hot sun
baked the earth dry he stirred it lightly
to aid the beans in piercing their way to
the light and air; DOMINIC his stout
leathern gloves he weeded the patch with
care that was almost excessive.
His neighbors admired him, his wife
WAS stupefed and M. Cougourdan
Rugged himself as he thought how he
would seize those beans, and talked mys-
teriously of treating himself to new
pair of glasses when some money he had
never expected to collect came in.

resumed his illusory operation; "put

sand Where is the man who will say
now that Pitalugue is lazy, ne'er-do-
well, who spends the whole time doing
beneath his gourd ?"
Until the setting of the sun he toiled
thus.
Halo, Pitaluguer p hailed his neigh
bors, homeward bound: sBreak off
work and finish the beans tomorrow"
Not until late did he deign to quit the
scene of his labors, and then, looking
around with satisfied and yet quizzi-
cal air, he said to himself:
GAS the man said, after shearing the
egg, It's very clean job, but there is
more fun than fleece"

to know who Pitalugue was, and why he
had adopted this singular system of
bean culture.
Pltalugue was a rural philosopher,
one who took the weather as it came and
sun as it rose and set, leading a remark
ably happy go-lucky life, and expend-
ing more industry and ingenuity in MAX
ing tolerable living in his little village
than many another employed in making
a fortune In big city. He was hunter
and fisherman; he had dog (named
Brutus), and kept ferret, and though
the donkey's manager was empty some
times, the long-sutfering could always
solace himself with the view of the lusty
linnet, whose cage was hung above it.
Worse than all, Pitalugue was gam
bier of the most shameless sort, ready to
stake wife, child, and salvation on the
turn of card. What scenes he had to
undergo when on market day he return
ed home trifle tlpsy, and with empty
pockets And what remorse, too, for at
heart he was a good fellow But re-
proaches and remorse availed nothing.
Each morning on setting out he vowed
he never would touch another card, but
each night he returned, having played
and lost.
On the morning on which we intro
duce him to the reader he had risen at
daybreak with the best intentions in the
world, and had laden his donkey with a
bag of such seed-beans as Pertuis had
rarely seen, glittering in their coats of
enamel, round and white as pigeons eggs
solid as bullets
''Use them well, but don't waste
them, - said La Zoun; "you know they
are the last we have"

steps he followed the ass.

Unfortunately, at the lower gates he

The unhappy Pitalupue endeavored to

up-springing from the wheat, beheld on
the stone wall by the roadside, touched
with pink by the rays of the early sun,
the two gamblers sitting astride, facing
each other, and Pitalugue turning his
pockets inside out to find them empty.

Pitalugue played and lost.

"All have won from yon against the

Pitalugue played and lost, and the
barber threw the sack over his shoulder
and walked into the town, calling to him
by way of farewell
"Nextt time I'll give you your revenge,
and play you for the Donkey"
