3OsEE MEMORIES.


How love these tender memories,
Which tonight come crowding fast,
Ola past too bright apd joyous
In this changing world 10 last.
AS sit here IN the twilight,
In the blessed home of yore, =
Many faces fondly cherished ..
Round the flreside rise once more.
Near me is the dear old chair,
Where my father used to rest;
But the spot is empty now,
And he's numbered with the blest,
Sometimes can almost feel those
Precious hands upon my head;
Almost hear some words of comfort
As he only could have said.
But those lips are hushed forever,
There no earthly cares molest,
With the ransomed saints in glory,
Where the weary are at rest.
And the birdlings most are scattered
From the rooftree's sheltering bough,
Some wings wearyins with the journey.
- Peacefnlly are folded nov.g,s

In this active world of ours.
Finding often in their pathway
Keeneet thorns among the flowers.
Some, life's shadows fall on lightly,
Simply touching as they pass
AMI the sun shines only brighter
For the rainfall on tie grass.
Gods ways are not as our ways,
For "His wisdom passeth ALL"
Not even a little sparrow
From His hand unknowins falls.
Dear old home, the love bear thee
Has become of life part,
Daily watt homeward to thee
Best affections OF my heart.
May we all a home inherit,
ALI united be at last,
In the ''House of many mansions"
When this fitful life is past.

DRYING PUMPKINS may be
put up in the old fashioned mode of cutting
them into rings, pairing and drying upon
poles OF they may be cut up into small
pieces and dried on plates in the sun and
oven. A better plan. however, is to pare,
stew and strain them, just as if for pies;
then spread the pulp on earthen dishes and
dry quickly in hot sun or partially heated
oven. If dried slowly there is danger of
souring. Store in a dry room. Kept in this
manner, they retain much of the freshness
and flavor of newly gathered fruit. The
dried pulp should be soaked in milk a few
hours before using. In making pies they
are greatly improved by stirring the pump
kins in scalding milk, especially if eggs be
not used; but without eggs they fall far
short of the true pumpkin pie."-Ger-

FALL PLoUGHINe.-Fdrming World
"Ploughing for spring crops can be done at
any time now where soil is not too light and
not likely to wash during winter. The
ground should be left rough, to be subject
ed to the fullest action of the weather
freezing, thawing wetting, drying, &c.
Ridge ploughing of stiff clay is often a great
benefit. 1t is done by turning two and two
together, so as to leave the ground uniform
ly ridged. The ridges must ran up and
down the slopes, otherwise in heavy rains
water will be held by the ridges until it
breaks through somewhere, when there will
be danger of a wash out This system of
winter following involves ploughing again
in the spring, but shows its good effects in
the crops"

PACKING BUTTER.-The president of the
Boston Butter, Cheese and Egg Association
says: ga serious obstacle in the butter busi-
ness is that farmers will persist in packing
butter in tubs. The tubs should be soaked
in the strongest salt and water that you can
make for at least twenty-four hours. Then
wet cloth in strong brine and put it in the
bottom Of the tub before packing. After
the butter has stood about three days there
will be little space between the tub and
the butter, caused by the butter solidfying.
Put in enough strong pickle to fill this space
between the butter and the tub. This is
the only way to pack butter and have it
keep perfectly. The average number of
pounds of milk for pound of butter is
twenty-four. Salt is the best preservative.
Butter should never be overworked, and
should be worked by hand and packed i'm
mediately. Ice should be kept in the milk
room to condense impurities"

''Bill Arp" the Southern humorist, makes
some very apt and forcible remarks il the
following paragraph: ''City folks eat their
meals more from habit than hunger, but
country folks love to hear the horn blow
Seven-tenths of the American people live
in the country, but seven-tenths Of the
whisky, wine and beer is drunk in the towns;
the most of them drink it because they
are not hungry and want to be. a right
hungry pan doesn't want whisky
He wants something to eat-something
solid; and so, after all the fuss about the
temperance problem, work, toll and sweat
is the remedy, for laboring man cannot
cheat his stomach with juices. Ben Frank
lin said that man was big bundle of habits
and he also said that idleness was the par
ent of vice. So it is best for man t. raise
his boy in the country. where he will get a
habit of work, and where there are not
many temptations"

Why is it so many suffer from rheuma-
tism, aches, pains, kidney diseases, liver
complaints, heart affections, etc? 1t is
simply because they will not come and be
healed. All diseases begin from want of
iron in the blood. This want of iron makes
the blood thin, watery, and impure.
Impure blood carries weakness and distress
to every part of the body. Supply this
lack of iron by using Browns Iron Bitters
and you will soon find youEself enjoying
perfect freedom from aches pains, and gen.
eral ill-health.

AN AUTUMN LESSON.


AN AUTUMN LESSON.
The brown creeps o'er the summer leaf
With silent, ever deepening hue;
The loweret drinks the earlier dew,
The houl from East to West grow brief.
With failing hearts we see decay,
And draw the lesson we must die;
And find our sem mblancee in the fly.
The grass. the shadow, or the day.
How prone TO find the signs of death,
To bind ourselves to things of sight,
Which are but shadows to the light
Of faith, whose power is life, not breath.
The withered husk but hides the corn,
The tree fades into generous fruit,
For Nature does but change her suit
Or dies, that life may be re-born.
So would learn this autumn lore,
That no life .ails before its time
Nay makes of death way to climb
To fuller life forevermore.
The tutored heart outruns the tongue,
And crowds the eye with fearful praise.
That Faith from out of sight can raise
The theme of an eternal song.

Some curious stories have been related
of letters making worldwide peregrinations
in search of somebody, but the experiences
of postal .waif recently deposited among
the treasures of the Post Office at Elber-
field, Germany, are exceptionally remark
able. The letter was posted there July 3,
1872, its destination being Nicolajrewisk,
Siberia, where sailor son of the writer
then was. When it arrived he had left
with his ship; SO the letter, recrossing
Siberia, returned in three years to Elber
field. The writer, learning his son was
then at Hong Kong, redirected the enve-
lope, and once more, in October, 1876, the
letter started on its travels. When it
reached China the sailor had left. The
wandering missive followed him about
from one place to another, always arriving
Just too late, until it at length found its
way back again to the Elberfeld Post OF

it is henceforth to be preserved issiree

"BELL OF JUSTICE in one of the
old cities of Italy, bell was hung in a
tower, which any one was at liberty to
ring who had been wronged and by it
summon the magistrate to see that justice
was done him. 1t was called the "Bell of
Justice" and the following beautiful story
is associated with it:
When, in course of time, the lower end
of the bell-rope rotted away, wild vine
was tied to it to lengthen it and one day
an old and starving horse, that had been
abandoned by its owner and turned out to
die, wandered into the tower, and, in trying
to eat the vine, rang the bell
The magistrate of the city coming to see
who had rung the bell, found this old and
starving horse. e.
He caused the owner of the horse in
whose service he had toiled and been worn
out to be summoned before him and de-
creed that as, this poor horse had rung the
"Bell of Justice" he should have justice,
and that during the remainder of the
horses life his owner should provide for
him proper food and drink and stable,
