The same sweet blossoms year by year
Come hack with gracious greeting:
This little purple cluster here
Sets all my pulses beating,
Not with the passion typiiied
By the red roses splendOr,
But with the memOr es that bide,
With Time, the true and tender.
With these dear blossoms in nv hand.
Some miracle hath found me
i walk in childhoods happy land,
with sunshine all around me.
The flowers bloom, the waters flow
The singing birds are mated;
And over wide fields to and fro
The winds blow, fragrance freighted.
and while I look, the years glide on, =.
And !, loving maiden,
Again beneath summer moon
Stand in Il lovers Alden;
Upon the bosom of my gown

While tender eyes in mine look down --
And love is one with duty.

They We're the first flower that j placed

Where his own wishes bid them

And left my heart amid them.

HAYDN.
Some Peculiarities of the Renowned Com
poser.


Haydn was a man who made the
most of his gifts. He was never salts
fled. and always strove to reach higher
ideal. He once said: Il have only
just learned in my old age to use the
wind Instruments, and now that | do
understand them | must leave the
world He composed so much that one
would think he wrote quickly, but such
was not the case. When an idea oc-
cured to him he would note it down in
little book that he always carried with
him, and afterward he would work it
over with the greatest care. He felt his
genius was a gift from God which he
must use for the good of others. God
has given me TALENT he said, "and /
thank Him for it. l think | have done
my duty and have been of use in my
generation" In writing for the piano
forte. he paid great attention to
the melody, which renders his works
equally interesting to young and old.
They are always fresh and cheerful,
and are often founded on some little
romance or incident. Haydn did so
much for musical composition, es-
pecially the symphony, and was so
genial and kind to his fellow musicians,
and so fond of children, that in his
later years he was always called Papa
Haydn The name is still frequently
used in referring to him. agatha

Wet Land.


The blowing Of wet land does mis-
chief which remains for years. Tho
owner of stiff clay farm who turned
over Il field in too much of hurry ten
years ago has not since been able to get
the soil into the same condition it was
in before. When plowshare becomes
smeared with mud as it turns the fur
row slice, and the earth is plastered, as
mortar is when a trowel is drawn over
it, clay land becomes hurt for many
years. Even light land is spoiled by it,
but the clay is toughened and dries in
hard clods which are very difficult to
reduce to fine condition again. One
may easily make haste too fast in plow-
ing in the Spring. The test of fitness
in the soil is that spade may be put
into it and withdrawn without any
smearing, and the spade of soil when
dropped will fall apart into loose
mass.-M Y. Times.
