AT GRANDMOFHER's.

Under the shade of the poplars still,
Lilacs and locusts in clumps between,
Roses over the window sill,
is the dear old house with its door of green.
Never were seen such spotess floors,
Never such shining rows of tin,
While the rose-leaf odors that came through
the doors
Told of the peaceful life within.
Here is the room where the children slept,
Grardmama's children tired with play,
And the famous drawer where the cakes were
kept,
Shrewsbury cookies, and caraway;
The garden walks where the children ran
To smell the flowers and learn their names:
The children thought, since the world began,
Were never such garden walks for games.
There were tulips and asters in regular lines,
Sweet-williams and marigolds on their stalks,
Bachelors buttons and sweet-pea vines.
And box that bordered the narrow walks.
Pure white lilies stood corner-wise,
From sunf1owers yellow and poppies red,
And the summer pinks looked up in surprise
At the kingly hollyhocks overhead.
Morning-gloIies and lark-spur stood
Close to the neighborly daffodil;
Cabbage-roses and southernwood
Roamed through the beds at their own sweet
will.
Many year has passed since then,
Grandmama's house is empty and still,
Grandmorher's babies have grown to be men,
And the roses grow wild DER the window
sill.
Never again shall the children meet
Under the poplars gray and tall,
Never again shall the careless feet
Dance through the rose-leaf scented hall.
Grandmama's welcome is heard no more.
And the children are scattered far and wide,
And the world is larger place than of yore,
But hallowed memories still abide.
And the children are better men to-day
For the cakes and rose-lesves and garden
walks,
And grandmother's welcome so far away,
And the old sweet-williams on their stalks.
Youths Companion.

How To TIE A HoRsE.-Incredible as it
seems, not half the tavern keepers, host
lers, or teamsters know how to tie horse
either making some clumsy knot that is
troublesome to undo, or making hitch
that is insecure. The proper way, after
passing the tether end around the ring to
be attached to, is to make a half hitch,
passing the end of the strap through the
loop. If the horse nibbling, pulls it, he
merely it's the knot lizhter. And to un-
hitch it is only necessary to remove the
end from the bow, and it is instantaneously
loosened. Not one-fourth of the butchers
or farmers know how to tie legs of a calf or
sheep for transportation. The majority of
people, when they want to make the ami
NAL secure, wind the cord tightly around
the legs, causing pain from congestion
The proper way is to make a half-knot on
ly on each hind and fore leg alternately,
fastening with bow at last, which is easi-
ly united. l find usually pocket hand
llerchief the handiest thing, it being about
the right size. Tied in this way, they are
abs lutely secure and without pain.

How TO MAKE A HAMMoCK.-Thes season
for hammocks is here and | will tell you
how to make comfortable, inexpensive
one. Bring your old flour barrel from The
cellar or store room, knock it to pieces, clean
and paint the slaves. q like red.) Procure
rope four times the length of each place
where it is to be suspended, and in size-a
little larger than clothes line. Now halve
the rope, double each piece in the middle
and beginning two yards or so from the end
weave it over and under each stave about
three inches from the end of each one, which
will bring the rope crossed between each !;
do both sides the same and your hammock
is complete. l like one end of the rope fast
ened mp higher than the other There, isn't
the effect pretty. The brightred contrasts
so strongly with the green leaves. At first,
this may not seem firm, but when there is
any weight on it, the rope becomes "taut''
as the sailors say, consequently there will
be no opening.-[Good Cheer.

not rust it will last, and as it is kept painted 1t

Clear the brown path to meet his coulter's
gleam!
Lo! on he comes, behind his smoking team,
With tolls bright dew-drop on his sun burnt
brow,
The lord of the eearth, the hero of the plow!
First in the field, before the reddening sun,
Last in the shadows when the day is done;
Line after line along the breaking sod
Marks the broad acres where his feet have trod.
Still where he treads the stubborn clods divide,
The smooth, fresh furrow opens deep and wide;
Matted and dense the tangled turf upheaves,
Mellow and dark the riGgy cornfi Id cleaves.
Up the steep hillside, where the laboring train
Slants the long track that scores the level
plain;
Through the moist valley, clogged with oozing
cag.
The patient convoy breaks its destined way.
AT every turn the loosened chains resound,
The swinging plowshare cil cles giistening
round,
Till the wide field one billowy waste appears
And the wearied hands unbind the painting
steers.
These are the hands whose sturdy labor brings
The PEASANTS food the golden pomp of kings
This is the page whose letters shall be seen,
Changed by the sun to words of living green;
This is the scholar whose immortal pen
Spells the first lesson hunger taught to men;
These are the lives that heaven comm manded
toll
Shows on his deed-the character of the soil.
