MORNING SONG.

Turn thy face to me, my love,
I come from out the morning;
Give thy hand to me, my love,
I'm dewy from the dawning.
Touch my lips with thine, my love,
I've tasted air at daybreak;
Gaze into my eyes, my love,
At the sky's waking they wake
Oh, golden wave upon thy brow,
Oh, color Of thy smiling;
Oh, glance Of eyes that like the stars
Lead through the worlds beguihng!,

Romance in Real Life.

James w. Marshall, the discOverer
of gold in California, died recently at
his home in Kelsey, Cal. He was "a 8,
and died poor. 1t was on Jan. 10,
1913, that Marshall made his discovery.
He was engaged with two MOrmOns in
repairing a race for sawmill at SUIT
ter's mill on the American fork of the
Sacramento river, near the town of CO.
Iona, about thirty -fve miles east of
Suffers Fort. The spring freshets had
injured the mill race, and Marshall was
Overseer of the gang engaged in repair
ing it.
The story goes that Marshall's little
daughter picked up lump of gold and
showed it to her father as pretty
stone. Marshall knew nothing of chem
istry or gold mining, and yet could not
get rid of the idea that he had secured
nugget of gold. Every day he went
searching through the mill race for
other bits of the precious metal. The
men at the mill laughed at him, and
called him crazy, and they kept at
work repairing the race, sowing wheat,
and planting vegetables. The fierce
current in the mill race had washed u
good deal of the ore ont, and Marshall
found no difficulty in securing num-
Der of specimens of what he believed
to be gold. Then his associates began
to think he might be right. About the
middle of February one of the party
went to San Francisco with specimens
of the ore, for the purpose of learning
whether it was really gold. The first
man who examined the specimens was
an old Georgia miner, who at once rec
ognized the precious metal.
He at once went to the spot where
Mr.. Marshall had got his specimens.
The old mill was going, and no gold
had been thought of by anybody else.
In short time the Georgia miner dug
out a lot of fine specimens of gold ore,
richer than anything that had been
found in Georgia. He got the men at
the mill to make rockers, and they all
easily rocked ont an ounce day. The
news spread rapidly, and by the end
of the year miners were at work CD ev-
cry large stream Of the Sierra Nevada,
also in the Sacramento valley. The
result was the discovery of the most
prolific gold region of the world,
and the creation of one of the greatest
States of the Union.

A Little Child Shall Lead Them.

The statutes of New York now re-
quire instruction in the public schools
concerning alcohol and it's effects upon
the human body. In some schools this
instruction is given effectively by
teachers who have 4 real interest in
the subject. That great good is thus
being accomplished there is no room
for doubt.

and we have not thought it wrong.
Our little Bessie, who attends the pub

much better it is to let it alone. 'And,
mamma she said, Il felt so ashamed

ut his dinner and sometimes gives it
to his friends who call =" The lady
added that Bessie had been so exer-
cised about it, and had pleaded with
them so earnestly, that they decided
to make the change and have no more
liquors in the house. The father, an
active New York business man, "a hail

among his companions and friends,
had never before given the subject a
serious thought. Now, however, NOV

Hin Pastures for Fast Colts.

the study of history proves that all an

mountainous countries, are more fleet

Because the ascent and descent of sur
face brings into play more than one
set of muscles aud nerves there is
fuller development of different sets of
motor nerves, which are some of them
unused and ilahby in colts reared upon
fiat lands. \ colt in climbing or de-
sceuding a declivity, or traversing the

Selection OF Seeds.
One who tried it said Thinking that
by a careful selection Of vegetable
seeds a greater degree of productive
ness might he attained, | began three
years ago an experiment with long
pod beans. carefully selected the
finest and fullest pods for seed, taking
none with fewer than five beans each.
Next year had n good sprinkling of
pods with six seeds in each; these
were saved for seed. Next year had
many six-seeded pods, and some with
seven. Following up the same plan, l
find this season many more six and
seven seeded pods than of less num-
Der, and some with eight seeds There
are still a few plants which produce
remark that the tive-seeded plants
have seldom six-seeded pod upon
them, but all fives on the contrary, a
