Or echoes come and go.

When eventide concealeth
The fading nights retreat.
That voice upon me stealeth,
As gently and as sweet
As zethyrs through the aspen play,
And Nmsperss Pilgrim. come away"
AS pensively nightly
Betake me to the hill.
To listen TO the sprightly.
Yet plaintive whip -poor-will;
Still echoed in her thrilling lay,
hear the whisper: Come away"
As night space advanceth
UPON me all alone.
And gay the moCnbeam danceth
To night-winds' checrless moan,
soft through the midnght's deepening gloom
/ hear the whisper: pilgrim, coma"
When morn I'm freshened beauty
Hath siQnaled night away.
And l, at call of duty,
Arise to greet the day.
Still cC11Cea in the insects hum
hear the whiePer: "Pilgrim, come"
As worn my footstep trswpeth
Along life's weary way.
9Od's angel host encampeth
Around by night and day:
And hatlt time their whispers weird
Have my disIieartened spirit cheerci.
And as the years are going
Those whispers nearer come,
And am weary growing,
And long to reach my home,
where whispers cease and voices blend

Guess I'll walk along with Brown
towards home," thought Jones.
Don't care if he does patronize me
somewhat"
The two men shook hands cordially
going down the aisle.
"'Fraid I've been rather remiss,"
said Brown, ''in not calling on you;
mean to do better in the future"
No, twas all my fault" hastily ac-
knowledged Jones.

When the forenoons of life are

"A man who depends on the riches

God and the welfare of his soul, is like

Curing Hams and Shoulders.

The curing of hams and shoulders is
simple process well understood by old
farmers, but inexperienced ones may re-
qu re word or two of advice. First
neatly trim the hams; cut closely so
there will lie no large. loose masses O.
fat remaining in iOlds at the lower ey-
tr nifty of the ham. Hams prepared
Tor the city trade are carefully selected
and trimmed to suit the demand of the
market. In some localities the shank
is left long and the edge bone taken out.
In others the ham Is cut longer on each
bone are left in and the lip and
'cuShion are left on. These are
known as long-cut' hams. Shoul-
ders are cut more nearly square. leav-
ing III about one-third of the blade and
| the shoulder bone. The ragged edges
are trimmed and the blood-veins are
carefully removed.
Make n pickle strong enough to float
an egg; stir into Clis sufficient amount
Of sugar or molasses to give it slight
ly sweet taste Cover the hams with
this pickle and let the packages stand
where the temperature is uniform and
above freezing. For hams of twelve
pounds four weeks will be sufficient;
larger hams must remain in the brine
longer. In q general way, it may he
said that from four to seven weeks en-
brace the extremes of time required for
domestic curing of hams, varying as to
size of the hams. temperature and time
when they are designed for use. When
the hams are to be kept through the
summer they must NOT he ramovad from,
the brine too soon.
Hams may also be cured with dry
;alting. This is done by rubbing them
often with salt and sugar and punching
them up on platforms or tables covered
with salt and covering each ham with
salt When taken up to rub over with
salt, which ought to be done about half
dozen times. have q shallow box at

to go after it, he brings it to him. A.
his ball-and- socket eyes roll this way
and that way, one Of them marks u
large white butterfly walking up the
bars of his cage, and he forms pur-
pose to eat it. He unwinds his tail.
then relaxes the grasp of his broad
palms one at time (for he is extreme
ly nervous about falling and breaNng
his bones), and 50 he advances slowly
along the twig until he is within six
inches of his prey, then he stops, and
there is a working in his swollen
throat; he is cumming his tongue. At
last he leans forward and opens his pre-
posterous mouth, and that member pro-
trudes like a goose-quill stepped in
white bird-lime. For moment hc
takes aim, end then, too quick to fol-
low, the horrid instrument has darted
forth, and returned like elastic 10 its
place, and the gay butterfly is being
crunched and swallowed as fast as any
thing can be swallowed when tongue,
