4 PHOTOGRAPH

This Is her shadow, nothing more;
The eyes that wear no smile for mine.
The silent lips that laughed before,
The hair without its wave and shine.
This mask that shows no spark divine
How calm and cold it looks at me
Her eyes were full of shade and sun;
A look that rippled like the sea
Across whose breast the light winds run
A CLEAN, a cloud, a tale begun.
This is the veil her soul put on
To run the weary ways of earth.
And when her brief, bright race was won
She laid it down beside her hearth.
A worn-out thing of little worth.
1t is not she that fronts me here
This speechless aspect, still and cold;
knew her fair and sweet and dear;
A Aclinging girl, with heart Of gold.
And hands that clasped with tender hold.
Was it a gentle prophecy,
This silent, transparent mould of.clay.
To let the loving round her see
How soOA that soul must fit awav.
That futtered, paused, but made no stay2
'Not here, but risin.n Oh, angel song
Still falling soft on hearts that weep
This is the dead, whose ashes long
Her Masters messengers shall keep
Safe in earth's undreaming sleep.
But she who wore this mortal guse
Has fled beyond our fearful sight;
Joyful and strong, serene and wise.
She lives upon the hills of light.
And waits us on that heavenly height.

pedition along the shore, all alone, and
after time becoming thirsty, went for
a drink to the cottage of a negro fisher
man. No one was there hut "auntie, E"
aud she was busy as could be ironing n
shirt for her cole man to wear at the
reception The Princess asked for a
drink. Else no time to bodder getting
water fo' you,7 was the reply; "Pse
bound to see de Queens chile to-mor-
row." "But if you'll get me drink.
I'll iron while you do so, said the thirs-
ty Princess. The offer was accepted,
the Princess finished the shirt and got
her drink, and then revealed her identi-
ty. "Fo' de Lo'd, honey p exclaimed
auntie, when she recovered from her
surprise, "ole man no no one else ever
wear dat shirt again, nohow !"
The latest mathematical question runs
as follows: Two girls mel three other
girls and al kissed. How many kisses
we're exchanged?

Things that Paw.

There are many Improbable things
on the farm that pay and pay well.
This statement is true, though it may
seem ridiculous at first thought. But
just think it over for a moment. BY
"unproitable things" we mean the
things that do not bring US in mon
ey. The things that. SO far as our
pocket book is concerned, is dead
loss. No man ever grew rich on
farm experiments. They generally
s.cost more than they come to"-bnt
they pay. They broaden o mans
mind; they teach him habits of OBJ
servation, they show him just what
his land can do. and better still what
it cannot do. They pay well; and
the most unsuccessful experiment can
be made to pay as well as the best.
