Slope gradual, and the night wind cold
Comes whispering, SD and rhillingiyl
And locks are grey
As Winters day.
And eyes Of s4ddest blue behold
The leaves al weary DRIFT away,
And lips Of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when ioycns hearts,
Which leaptd a. leaps the laughing main,
Are dead 70 all save memory,
As prisoner in bis dungeon chain.
And dawn Of day
Hath passed away,
The moon bath into darkness rolled:
And BY the morning, wan and grey,

There comes time when We grow old.
There comes time when mauhoOd's prime,
IL shrouded in the midst Of years,
And besuty, fading like dream,
Hash passed away ia silent tears;
And then how dark
But on the spark,
That kindles youth TO hnes Of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections lingering, say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when laughing Spring
And golden Summer cease 10 be,
And We put ON the Autumn robe,
To tread the last deeliviiy;
But now the slope
With rosy hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold
Another dawn with GaireF light,
while watchers whisper though the night,
There comes time when we grow old

How Our Ancestors Roasted . Goose.

Who after reading the following
will not admit that the world has inn
proved? The most cruel and brutal
in this age would turn in horror from
the necessary cruelty Of torturing a
poor creature as our ancestors did
with grave complacency, as If una
ware Of the suffering they caused. =
Read and wonder: @ -
Take a goose or some such lively
creature, pull of all her feathers. ex-
cept those of the head and neck: then
make FIRE around her, not too close,
80 that the smoke may not, choke her.
and that, the fire may not burn her
too soon. Within the circle Of the fire
let there be small cups and pots FIJI OF
water, wherein salt and honey are min
gled; and let there be. also chargersfull
Of sodden apples. cut in small pieces,
The goose must be larded and basted
over with butter, to make her the better
tasting, and, also that she may roast
better. Put FIRE about her. but do not
make too much haste, when, az you
see, she begins to roast. For by walk
ing about and flying here and there,
being eooped in by the FIRE, that stops
her way out. the unscared goose Il

she wasteth and consumes iny&rdly,

and when you begin to see her stun

hens rarely lay. IF hens are fed 90

fed sparingly TO laying hens. Ifhens

day for weed seeds, grass, insects. etc.
They must have warm quarters, well
