MY LESSON.
l sat alone at evening. Wildly raging,
The elements put forth fearful strife,
Pomona with the evil powers was raging
A war of death and life

sat alone at evening. Wildly raging,
The elements put forth fearful strife,
POMONA with the evil powers was raging
war of death and life.
The morning came. Adown my garden path
way
Lily and rose and vine were bruised and
broken.
Around me everywhere, PROSTATE there lay,
Of beauty, many a token.
a dead bird near the lilac bushes told me
A fearful tale. Peeping in the tree,
Ny eyes were full, my heart stood still don't
scold me.
They were my pets, YOU see).
'sAlas alas - in bitter grief 1 cried.
.'Why is it thus? Why should the storms
lay low
Our garden beauties, flush with life and pride
And ill bird lives with woe p
For answer came the fragrance of some bios
SONS,
ManSled and bleeding on their messy biers
But ne'er plant of grief from Natures bosom
Came to my human ears.
Just then a bird sang gayly from the wall;
A fallen vine around its stem was twininS;
A rose smiled through its tears. What meant
it all?
IIooked-the sun was shining.
Now, can list the chilling rain-drops patter,
And hear the storm-winds blow, and feel no
pain;
Hear the wild thunder crash-what does itmat-
ter?
The sun will shine again.
Only weak, human hearts cling to their
crosses.
And keep alive the wounds that Time has
made;
Only wise Nature smiles upon her losses,
Hopeful and Endismayed.

Year OF Meat.

From tie Boston Advertiser.
To-day begins the new provision year
Just as the cotton year begins on Sep
tember l, and the agricultural year on
July l. In looking back ovor the pro-
vision year Just ended two facts stand
out with remarkable prominence. In
the first place the past year has been
extremely irregular ia prices and in
the second place, during the year just
ended provisions have saved our bal
ance Of trade rather more than nv
thing else. A year ago it was petroleum
which always came TO the rescue when
we were on the point of shipping gold.
The idea that our pro 'ision exports
have been remarkably brisk, on account
of the prices, is not absolutely correct;
for wheat is very cheap, probably toe
cheap, aud yet Europe Is not disposed
to take now at a low price what finally
will 90, rs there is reason TO believe, at
an advanced price. But the fact remains
that provisions are very cheap, and that
we have exported very large quantities.
The %1uctuatiOn Of prices during the
past wear has been extreme, and to a
large part Of the trade il has been disas-
trous. Thus a barrel Of pork cost in the
principal market Of the country as much
as SJl.5 a year ago, Whilo the price to-
dav is dow to SlO,30. Ribs cost a ear
ago in Chicago Sl1,75, and are now down
TO 500 or less. Lard rose to 81 10 in
Nav. and has late been sOlt .Or So 20.
The cheapest month for provision buy
ers was September; but it is not certain
that the trade has made the mos OF IL
chance, Cor II is a trait Of nearly all
trades that men wish to buy hen
prices rise sharply, and that a marked
q, cline irightens buyers away. They
think that low prices will be lower, and
that high prices will be higher still.
The fluctuations in the proyis on prices
during the year now past are due almost
entirely 10 manipulations rather than to
irregular demands. The great Chicago
packers and their rich hackers delight
in making a corner or a deal, and in
smashing prices by vast mountains Of
provisions and by huge piles Of money.
The laity condemns these manipulations
but forgets that, strange as II may sound.
the reckless speculation Of the western
packers has given us provisions so cheap
that the poor man in particular might
thank the greasy losses Of Chicago and
the other places where pigs do mostly
co~ngregate.
Nor are supplies likely to u short.
America contains about S25 swine to
every thousand inhabitants, while Eu-
rope contains l57 and is more partial
than we are. America has about 80
head Of cattle TO every thousand people
while Europe contains $40 and IL 'osing
both absolutely and relatively. Even m
sheep we exceed the European standard,
ss we have about &C TO every thousand
inhabitants, against 6S2 in Europe. Our
pos ton, therefore is highly fay9raoie'
both in quality and quantity although
questioned by several European gov
] ernments, which it is the duty OF our
representatives to teach better.

ARM AND HOUSE.
Storing Potatoes.

blatoes should not be stored in large
lbs, or bins, and these should permit
\ ventilation. To ill these condi-
L potatoes may be kept in a vegeta-
cellar, for vegetables should not be
10 a cellar under a living room: but
Kept IL will he safer to store them
'arrels, OF bins not more than three
4 deep so that they can be inspected
'nenllye But If the crop is very large
&een1ed for the spring market,
In, perhaps, be cheaper and safer to
Ia them in piles or holes, covered
Il earth, in the primitive way. About
|ushels Of potatoes may be piled in a
cal shape, rs steep as they will lie.
4 should be covered with a good coat
|aw, and on this ten inches of earth
|uld be placed; OF better If dry saw
can be procured, that four inches

4 which may be reduced six inches.

How TO Tell Good Butter.

Mr.. Robert Hall, an Ohio butter in
spector, says that where butter is prop
erly churned, both as to time and tenn
perature, iI becomes firm with very lit
tie working, and it is tenacious; but ITS
most desirable state is waxy, when 1t Is
easily moulded into any shape, and may
be drawn out a considerable length with
out breaking. II is then STYLED gilt-edge.
1t is only in this state thai butter pos
sesses that rich nutty taste and smell
and shows up a rich golden yellow color
which inparts so high a degree OF pleas
ure in eating it, and which increases its
value many fold. 1t is not always neces-
sary, when it smells sweet, 20 taste u I
ter when judging it, The smooth un-
ctuous feel in rubbing a little between
the finger and thnmb expresses at once
its rich quality; the nutty smell ana
rich aroma indicate a simila r taste; and
the bright golden, g~listening. cream-col-
ored surface shows its height OF cleanll'
ness. 1t may be necessary at times 10
use a tryer, or use it Until you become
an expert in testing by taste, smell and
rubbing.-U. S. Dairyman.
