GIVING IN MAARIAGE.


Come let US sit together for space,
In this still room remote from friendly
mirth,
Affair from light and music, face to face,
Each unto each the dearest thing on earth.
Love, they have left us, our two bonny brides,
Our tall, grave girl, our winsome laughing
pet
All me! How wide the chasm that divides
Our life from theirs how far their feet are
set
From the calm path they trod with us so
long.
How we shall miss them, who loved them 80,
On winter nights when winds are blowing
strong,
On summer mornings, when the roses blow.
But-happy but-we still clasp hand In hand,
Eye still meets eye and true hearts under
stand.
Love, they have left us empty of the mirth
That cheered our homestead while they So
journed here
Yea, they have left us lonely on the earth,
Lone, but together, solitude most dear
All, God go with them to the stranger nests
That love has built for them and theirs to
come.
God Keep all warm and living in their breasts
Loves holy flame, the altar fire of home.
Dear, they have left us we no longer hold
The first, best place, however leal each
heart.
Yet have we treasure left, refined gold,
Loves sterling ore, without its baser part.
The wide old house has lost its Nesting birds,
But we are left. All, love, what need Of words 1

THE sILHET LIFE.

We lead two lives-the outward seeming fair,
And full Of smiles that on the surface lie,
The other, spent in many silent prayer,
With thoughts and feelings hidden from
the eye.
The weary, weary hours Of mental pain,
Unspoken yearnings for the dear ones gone,
The wishes, half defined, yet crushed again,
Make up the silent life we lead alone.
And happy visions we may never show,
Gid all this silent life with sweet romance,
That fade like sunset clouds, we know,
Yet life seems brighter for each stolen
glance.
This silent life not those we love may share,
Tho day by day we strive to draw them
close;
Our secret chamber-none may enter there,
Save that One Eye that never seeks repose.
And il beneath that Eye we do not quail,
Tho all the earth may turn from us aside
We own secret power that shall prevail,
When every motive of our life is tried

And its tuneless fibres burn.

And called to list'ning shadows,
To yield responsive moan.

wheat or Corn tor Farm Animals ?
Media American.
On she assumption that, inasmuch rs
nitrogen, phosphoric scid and potash are
the essential Ingredients Of which soils
are deprived or exhausted by cropping,
and inssmuch as farm animals contain
these In much larger comparative quanti-
ties than vegetables do, II is fair to maiu-
tain that these are the essentials in cattle
foods. Let as therefore compare wheat
and corn az foods for all purposes on this
assumption or postulate. We have
shown that an acre Of wheat contains
about Is pounds Of nitrogen, 1.5 pounds
potash and 9.7b pounds Of phosphoric
acid In the grains. We shall now assume
that twice the weight of corn can be
grown from an acre. Yet 1t only contains
one-half IS much nitrogen to the pound
and but little more than ali
the other two main ingredients,
so that on this account there
Is little gain in feeding twice the weight.
And now for the other side Of the ques-
tion, and let IL be on the merits Of each as
aseparste food. In wheat the combination
Of essential ingredients approach nearer

Maryland wheat prospects

The Baltimore Herald prints reports
from all sections Of Maryland OF the con.
dit.on Of the growing wheat. According
to these reports the roots Of the grain are
everywhere injured by the severe
weather and the succession Of alternate
freezing and melting. 1t does not SppsAr
possible at this time that the crop will
reach 80 per cent. OF the average.

The repair Of broken limbs Of farm
animals has been shown to be an easy
operation. All that is required is tc put
the snimal-if large one-in slings, to
bring the fracture into proper position,
and then bind the limb with bandages
dipped in common plaster of Paris paste.
The bsndsge is made in the form Of
roll, by sewing the ends together In
long strip and winding this around the
limb in the usual manner. The limbs
Of small animals may be repaired by
enveloping them in wstted straw board,
fitting 1t to the limb carefully and then
binding common bandsge over it. And
now 1t has been discovered that broken
limbs and stems Of trees may be repaired
In similar way, bringing the fractured
parts together, setting 8 stake firmly in
the ground and fastening the tree to it,
or binding splint upon the limb, after
having neatly covered the wound with
grating wax.
