The Full of the Moon.

Lord Bacon held that all life was
larger and more vigorous "upon the
full of the moon" have noticed at
times that many of our nights,
lighted by the full moon, have been in
great contrast with our days. The
latter were common-place colorless and
dreary-the sky blotted With featurless
clouds; bat at night, wind springirg
up, as is often the case, existence be-
came o grander thing. I saw the moon
roll up out of the East-and what q
roll there is in her motion when she is
near the earth--of such q breadth IS to
make her appearance startling and
phenomenal. And then began her
slow ascent through clear sky. Could
I help reverting TO those magical lines
in the old sonnet:
With how sad steps, o moon, thou clim'st
the skies!
How silently, and with how wane face!
but when at last she reached the zenith.
the sentiment seemed to change; she
was now regnant. and I said to myself /:
The moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare;
and again:
The moon rains out her beams, and heaven
il overfowed-
It was q glorious picture; and the
note of it was unity and simplicity; no
stars to lead away the mind, no clouds
and hardly any shadows; only the
moon and the sky which held her, and
the receptive earth. How still and
quiet the old house looked with only
its one light glimmering-a home of
sleep standing in the midst of its moon
lit belt of evergreens.

Constant Companions.

The study Of botany is no. general
pursuit. There are many WHO could
not tell an akene from silicle to save
their lives. but only ask them if they
ever saw Iegsdr's tex. and they will
glow with that true enthusiasm born Of
successful scientific research, for there
is at least ore page of botany with
which every one is fam;liar-tLc family
OF the burrs, the cookies and the tick
seed. You are always running against
them in your rambles. They are the
Migrants and the vdgabonds Of the
vegetable world, the vegetable tramps
of the highways.
Some OF them, like the armed burr
marigolds, are bold and daring, and
lab you with their spears in true high
waymsn fashion; others, as the sgri-
mony and enchanter's nightshade, are
sly and cautious, hiding in inconspicu
GUS places. and eluding your detection
until discovered against the background
of your garments. But they arc all
our very constant companions in the
country.
An interesting chapter might be

fruits and berries look to the birds for
their future opportunities of growth,

Squeaky Shoes.

Cannot some one suggest method
of suppressipg the squeaky shoes that
are peculiar to this season of the year :?
At the opera and the theater, in church
and in the plrior, the agonizsd squeak
of the new autumn shoe is heard, and
somehow the wearer seems always to
come in late, when every one specially
desires quiet. Physicians are driven
half frantic by the noise Of their own
new shoes, and how many of their
patients have been squeakei to death
will never be known until the great
day of retribution when incompetent
shoemakers will be called up for final
Judgment. Children must have new
shoes in November, inst rs in every
other month of the year. and when a
man has several lively boys, each With
the squeaky shoes that dealers seem to
take a fiendish delight in making for
little feet, he is utterly incompetent to
see anything wrong in the record OF
old King Herod. The man who will
discover and announce an absofute cure
for squeaky shoes will be greater than
he who inyents new religion, for
while the latter may help some people
to heaven the squeaky shoe causes
thousands to consigu their fellow be-
| ings TO the other place.
