WORDS OF wIsD0M-

Humanity Is the equity of theheart
Pleasure is thereward Of admiration.
Tho first and worst of all faults is'
to cheat ones self.
Bear little trials patiently that you
may learn how to bear great ones.
There are more people who cap for
get themselves than govern them
selves.
Be loving. and you will never want
forlove; be humble, and you will never
want for guiding.
In Palestine they say that he who
first becomes silent in aquarrel springs
from good family.
Solitude is a powerful aid to re6ec-
Jon and imagination. The higher
faculties necessarily dwindle in per-
petual hustle.
There is nothing nobler in man than
courage and the only way to be
Courageous is to be clean-handed and
hearted, to be able to respect ourselves

memory, but it never dies it is like
the dormouse in the ivied tower. that
sleeps while winter lasts, but awakes
with the warm breath Of spring.
Nothing is more unmanly than TO
reflect on any mans profession or
natural in6rmity. He who stirs up
against himself another's self-lovo
provokes the strongest passion in
human nature.
The shortest and surest way to live
with honor in the world is to be in
reality what we would appear to be;
and if we observe. we shall find that
all human virtues increase and
strengthen themselves by the practice
and experience of them.

A REVERSED DECISION.

Alice was undeniably the beauty of
the family. Emmeline was hard

the post Of vice-principal in neigh
boring primary school. Althea was
short and stout, with filmy, gray
eyes, and browS so light that they
were scarcely perceptible on the level

She was bouselseeper and performed
Inarvels in the pie and pudding line,

She practiced little, sometimes, on

The Farmer's Wife.

The Farmers Wife,
Tho farmer came in from the field one day,
His laneuid step and his weary way,
Bis bended brow and sinewy hand,
an shOwine his work for the good of the
land;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And be mows,
All for the good of the land
BY the kitchen fire stood his patient wife.
Light of bis home and joy of his life
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band;
For she must boil,
And she must broil
And she must toll,
All for the sake of the home.
5un shines bright when the farmer goes out,
Birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about,
Tho brook babbles softly in the glen,
While be works bravely for the good of men;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
ALI for the good of the land.
How briskiy the wife steps about within
The dishes 10 wash, and the milk to skim,
The fires go out, flies buzz about
For dear ones at home her heart is kept
stout;
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take,
All for Che sake of the home.
When the day is DER and the evening has
come,
The creatures are fed and the milking is
done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
IFrom tho labor of tho land his thoughts are
free;
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work of the land.
But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
talkes tie burden up that's never done;
There is no rest, there is no pay,
the household goods she must work
away;
For to mend the frock,

And the cradle to rock,
ALI for the good of the home.
Whom autumn is here, with chilling blast,
fhe farmer gathers his crops at last,
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
tor the good of theland he ne'er hath care;
While it blows,
And it SHOWS,
Till the winter goes,
he rests from the work of the land.
But tho willing wife. till life's closing day,
Is She children's, the husbands stay,
From day TO day she has done her best,
UntJ death alone can give her rest;
For after The test

With the blest,

trimming Apple Trees.

Experience is the mother of wisdom.
There are different opinions among
farmers about the proper time for trim
ming apple trees. The main object
ought to be to trim in that season of the
year when the wound will entirely heal
over, or the tree is ruined, sooner or
later. If that object IS not accom-
pliShed the water enters and a hole Is
rotted into the trunk; it becomes hollow
and is destroyed.
i Some trim in early spring; the SAP
forces itself out of the wound in album
dance, runs down on body or larger
limbs; the bark turns back and often
dies, and the trees are permanently in
jured. Another follows the opposite
extreme and prunes in August, or even
In early winter. when the sap has
turned into the wood; the wound does
not turn black. as in the other case, but
heals slowly. if at all, and a tree with
holes in it is final result. II the bark Is
entirely peeled off the tree from the
roots to the limbs, in the longest DAYS
of midsummer, which are somewhere
from the 10th to the Goth of June, new
bark is formed and the tree is not in
iured, and an old tree is said to be bene-
fitted hv the operation. If apple trees
are pruned at this time, if any bark is
accidentally taken off where the limb
has been removed, it viii entirely heal
over if the limb removed is not toe
large and the growth is sufficient for
that purpose The sap of the tree is
not too thin to run out and blacken the
tree. as in early spring, nor too thick
and already formed into the wood, and
the wound comparatively dry: both
wood and bark as in later pruning are
not stopped in farther growth over the
wound. Many farmers, as a general
thing. prune an orchard without diScre-
ton. saving off too large limbs. that
can never heal over, oftentimes cutting
them off some inches from the trunk OF
the tree or the larger limbs from which
they are removed: the stub of the limb
will die to the body and the further de-
cav of the tree is sure.
In pruning off too much the natural
equilibrium between the roots and the
top is destroyed and the body of the
tree will come out in suckers or
sprouts Such ignorant farmers had
better cut their trees down and
trim them afterward, which is
easier done, and with more profit 10
themselves. as the ground could be en-
ploved for some better purpose. If a
limb is dead there is no option; it must
be cut off close to the tree; the only liv-
ing limbs that should be cut off are the
small ones that viii heal over. coming
from the larger branches in the inside
of the top (and those that cross and gall
each otherl, thereby letting in more
sun to the apples to give them better
color and give the picker better
chance in the tree. Everything beyond
this is supertluous. and r-un;ng had
better be dispensed with altogether.
MANY fine orchards receive their death
warrants from such i'll prs aing every
year.-.N II. Patriot.
