Do you know you have asked for

A woman's heart, and q woman's

And woman's wonderful love I?

this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy,
Demanding what others have died
to win,
With the reckless dash ct a boy 7
Yoa have written my lesson of du-
ty out,
Manlike you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar Of my wo
mans soul
Until l shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall al
ways be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall
be- whole;
l require your heart to be true as
Gods stars,
And as pure as heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton
and beef;
I require a far better thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for
stockings and shirts
l look for a man and king.
A king for a beautiful realm call.
ed home,
And a man that the maker, God,
Shall look npon as he did the first,
And say, ut is very good"
I am fair and young, but the rose
will fade
From my soft, young cheek one
day;
Will you love me then, mid the
falling leaves,
As you did mid the blooms of
May7
Is your heart an ocean so strong
and deep
/ may launch my all on its tide ?
A loving woman finds heaven or
hell
On the day she is made a bride.
l require all things that are grand
and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all I would stake

To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this, a laundress

You can hire with little to pay F.;
But woman's heart and a wo-
mans life
Are not to be won that way.

Working Teams.

A GOOD RULE PoR~ FARMERS TO
KEEP CONSTANTLY IN
Much care and good judgment
must be given to the working teams
about thrse days. The season is
so backward and work presses so
hard that the temptation to push
them for all they are worth is very
strong. "Make haste slowly" is a
good proverb to keep in mind
Don't let the teams do what they
want to do while fresh and free, if
you would have them do what you
want them to do by and by. New
ar crowd them in the morning when
their stomachs are distended with a
full feed, but do the pushing from
nine to eleven o'clock, or half.past,
easing up a little before they come
into the stable for their noon feed,
when the harness should be remov-
ed, the collars cleaned and the
team rubbed down. Be gentle at
all times; a little petting will do
no harm; work is a wearing grief
that kind words and loving pats
will do much to assuage; jerks,
kicHs, cuffs and cross, snarling
words are poor encouragers and
oats are far more nutritious than
oatbs. "Horse sense" loathes pro-
family and the fonl-mouthed man
who uses it should have the grand
bounce if he remains incorrigible
after a fair warning. See that the
collars fit perfectly back the team
and lift the collars that the cool air
may get under them when the team
is stopped to rest; the man who in
variably turns his back to his team
and squass his lazy carcass on the
pillow handles when they stop is not
fit for plowman. Let down the
back straps or remove them entirely
when blowing OF narrowing, let the
team carry no more leather than is
actually necessary. All superau-
GUS straps are out of place on the
harness and had better be hanging
in the bar. Feed regularly and
generously three times a day, the
heaviest feed at night, scalding the
managers occasionally if cut or wet
teed is fed. Keep the stables sweet,
clean and we'll ventilated with a
deep bedding of dry bright straw
that tramp would enjoy, and when
you retire for the short nights rest
you will sleep the sleep of the
righteous laboring man, which we
are told is sweet, and your refresh.
ed team will rise in the morning
and "call you blessed" with a CRATE
full, expectant Whitney when you
appear in the stable. - Empire

years Of age. They then 60 through

the value of things long before they

never be required to cook a dinner,
they become independent of cooks

Last Thursday night the young la
dies and young gentlemen of Scotland
Neck were invited over to Mrs. w. D.
Joyner's to an Ice Cream supper COM
plimentary to Miss Maud Grimmer. of
Gilmer, Texas. Something was said Of
dancing but after getting there, and
knowing for a certainty that Miss Maud
was going to leave so soon, no one
felt like dancing. For an Ice Cream sup
per it could not have been better. The
table was fixed with taste. But how
could it have been otherwise, with such a
charming young lady at the head. No
doubt the one the supper was compll-
mentary to enjoyed it. She seemed to.
No doubt she dreaded bidding Miss Bet
tie goodbye. But the best of friends
must part sooner or later. The Ice Cream
supper will long be remembered, also
the compllmented one. l heard that
night expressions of sorrow uttered by
sincere and truthful lips; sorrow that
none but friends can express. We know
not of young lady that has ever visited
Scotland Neck, and leaving, left so many
friends. Everybody seems to regret her
departure so soon. We hope she has had
a pleasant trip. We know size has made
it pleasant every where she has been.

goodbye, hoping her safe and pleasant
