THOSE Mercy sUNBEAMa

On; that shall we do for the Lovely,
Ifls rainy, rainy day?
On how shall We make til baby laugh,
When everything dun and gray2
The sun has gone on picnic
The moon has gone to bed,
The uresome sky does nothing but CRY.
As If its best friend were dead.
Come hither, come hither, my SunbeamsI
Come one, and two, and three:
And now in trice wen have the room
AS sunny as sunny can be.
Come, dimpling. dimpling dumping.
Come, Rosy. Posie, Rose.
Come, little boy Billy a-toddling round
On little fat lettering toes.
Now twinkle, now twinkle, my Sunbeamsl
Now twinkle, and laugh, and dance,
And brush me the gloom straight out of the
Nor leave it the ghost of chance.
All! see the Lovely smile nowl
Ali see her jump and crow!
As round and round, with laugh and dance,
Ny three merry SunbeamS go.
And who cares now for the raindrops7
Who cares for the gloomy day?
When each little heart is doing its part
To make us all glad and gay.
You moon, you may stay in bed now;
You sun, you may wander and roam;
And cry away, Cry, you tiresome skyi
We've plenty of sunshine at home

Martha nodded and told her aunt not to
worry. and to have as good time as
she could.
The old lady's pride had met with a
sad downfall-she did not know how to
face the people at home. But luckily
she was saved the first acknowledge
ment. as Asa Fales had reached Peter
sham before her and had found Mr..
Daniel johnson briskly at work by the
garden trellis covering his grape-yines.
He had prudently avoided any refer
ence to the next world, and, indeed,
had learned the falseness of the story
from a Petersham man whom he had met
on the road So he entered at once
upon the project of buying the pine
woods between GaytoWn and Hollis,
and found to his great satisfaction that
his old friend would be glad to join him
if the affair could be well arranged.
Mrs. Peak herself met Mr.. johnson,
and could hardly look him in the face
when she asked for his health. And
when the neighbors came in one after
another that evening after she was
again comfortably established at home,
she said: ''You may laugh at me all
you have mind to, butt don't mean
to need another lesson like this-I think
it's a good deal better to mind what
we've got to do instead of livin' on what

Rhubarb Culture.

Rhubarb, like currant bushes, will
grow almost anywhere and under any
treatment, and consequently receives
more ill-usage than any other ''green
thing growing" But for this reason it
should not be supposed that when grow
ing under neglect and abuse it will
do it's best and produce as abundant
crops and of equally good quality as
when good treatment is given.
After it is once planted rhubarb re-
quires little cultivation, but it must
have at all times deep, rich soil, the
richer the better. In field culture the
roots are planted about four feet apart
each way, and cultivated like any hoed
crop. In the family garden they should
be planted two to three feet apart, in a
single row, at least four feet distant
from other plants.
1t may be raised from seed, but as
there is little reliance in the seedlings
being of the same variety as the parent
plants, division Of the roots is the meth
cd Of propagation usually adopted.
Any piece of loot with a bud or crown
will grow if planted about two inches
deep in mellow soil firmly pressed
around it. Roots may be planted in
autumn or early spring. Plantations
are usually renewed every four or FIVE
years, yet when liberal dressing of
manure is given every fall the roots
will produce crop for an almost in
definite period. Heavy manuring.
clean cultivation, and liberal space are
the essential requisites for raising large,
succulent rhubarb. The varieties best
known are:
Linn@us, grown extensively for
market as we'll as home use. It is early,
very productive, and of brisk, spicy
flavor. It's principal fault is that it
seeds SO freely that unless all flower
stalks are cut off as soon as they appear
the crop deteriorates rapidly.
Victoria is later, has larger leaves and
stalks, and requires very rich, rather
heavy ground for its best development.
Paragon is a new variety, originated
in England, and now introduced here.
The stalks are bright red, heavy, and
produced in quick succession and great
abundance. 1t is earlier, of more deli
cate favor, and decidedly less acid
than any other variety we are &C
quainted with But its most remarka-
bic and most valuable qualification is
that it does not produce flower stalks,
to which fact its great productiyeness is
mainly attributable, all the strength of
the plant being used for the develop
ment of its leaves. american Garden.

ARKANSAS has lately done a good
deed, and after valiant fight, won
notable victory for Temperance. No
saloon will now be allowed to stand
within three miles of a church or school
house, if a majority of the men and
women over tWenty-one and eighteen
years of age are opposed to it, and pre-
sent a paper so stating to the County
Judge. This has made great stirring
up in that State, and is doing vast
deal eff good. Golden Ralle.

E with various other of the largest
items of expenditure. It is based
on the census of 1880 and other re.
liable authorities. Scale: Each
three-fourths of an inch represents
an expenditure of $100, 00O, 600. We
are indebted to the Christian Union
81 for the measurements and statistics.
The liquor bill represents the cash
paid for it by consumers, and is,
in our opinion, not an exaggera-
ton of the facts. We consider
it just about the actual amount.
Comments upon showing SO ap.
