The hearth-s hes OF continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
OF peace on etrth, goodwill to men!
And in des pair ! bowed my head;
''Theie IS no peace on earth" said;
'For hate Is strong.
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, good will to men.
Then pealed the bell more loud and deep:
''God is not dead; nor doth he sleep.
The Wrong shall fail,
The Fright prevail.
With peace oti earth, goodwill TO men"

With rude, untrlerd ly breath the wild
winds blow,
And icy crystals fringe the sluggish
stream,
The forest sinks iato lis wintry
Beneath the silent mantle OF the snow,
And shakes its sleety burden to the
earth below
And lifts its 1eahess branches to the
moons cold beam;
Now woodland depths with fitting
shadows teen,
Like solemn fantasies OF Long Ago.
Like some old sibyl in stored land,
With kindly message for tn passer-by,
The druid oak, whose spectral
branches stand
Like wizard etchrngs on the midnight
sky,
Benignly hints Of homes united
bard,
With yule-log bright ming as the hours
SO by.

Curious Uses and Works of Ants.

The ant belongs to family of insects such as wasps, bees, hornets, but IS the superior of them all, as are the elephant, the horse, and the dog, in other lines ot animal life. Ants are constructed with the back bone in front, and the heart and other internal organs on the oppo- site side are put together upside down, as we might think. Their mouth is for biting and swallowing food only, not for breathing. Their bite is so determined and lasting that they are used in some countries for confning the edges of wounds and cuts. Ants heads are pre- sented to the cut surface, which they grasp with their nippers, when theil bodies are cut off, leaving whole TOW of them to hold the flesh. They are cheaper than sticking plaster in some countries.
 They sometimes excavate tunnels un- der rivers of considerable depth and width, and use the tunnels for trans porting supplies. They dig wells twen- " feet deep and foot in diameter for drinking water. The harvesting ants plant seeds on farms, which they culti- vate with great skill and neatness, keep ing every weed down and harvesting the grain, curing and storing it safely ill weather-proof cavities in the soil. They also organize into divisions with com manders, each individual doing certail kind of work. Some ants are smar' enough for engineers, while others 6nly know enough to do as they are told. They can count and make correct esti- mates of the magnitude of an undertak- ing, as proved by observers.
 Eight chrysalides (often called the eggs of ants) were placed in path where ants travel. A single individual found them and undertook to remove them to their home. Several were car ried by the single ant patiently enough, but when twenty chrysalides were placed in the heap, another ant was found en- gagged in the work. The pile was in. creased at intervals till eighty ants en- gagged in the undertaking, showing thai workers were detailed according to the demands of the case.
 Ants battles sometimes last many days, in one case seven weeks, the vic tors finally taking the stores and remov ing them to their own houses. Then wars are quite as iustifable as those O men, when the object-pillage-is tho same. They have the power, too, o1 knowing members of their own commu mites even after six months absence Strangers are always driven off or killed They are very helpful to each other, ant show sympathy in case of accident ol sickness. Some families of ants builC arched roads covered by an arch of clay or mortar for protection against enemies and show great skill in the work, whici is under the supervision of trained en gineers, who order a rebuilding if thu work is not perfect. Some kinds of ant keep COWS, build cow-yards, and mill their COWS regularly, and don't throV milking stools at them, either, to mak' them "g give down." but pat and strok their backs very tenderly. Of cours these COWS are the plant aphides so ia miliar to all farmers and gardeners. Prof. B. s. Morse.

The "American Agriculturist'

The "American Agriculturist" gives the following precautionary advice as to the care of live stock in April: The work horses now need an abundance of strengthen ing food. Keep the harness clean and soft. It is easier to prevent gals than to cure them, especial ly during this busy season, when a horses labor is most constant and valuable. Many horses work ing upon soft ground are hest shod when they are barefoot. Cow, need careful watching during thIs season. When a cows time approaches, the feed should be reduced. Look out for garger and use the simple remedies often menlloueu III IueSe COluIIlilS. Ewes with lambs need abundance of food, otherwise the lambs a. well as the dams will suffer. II ticks are troublesome use d dip Ol tobacco water, or some one of the several preparations sold in the shops. Swine need a run, and may do much good in tn, orchard. If the poultry have vermin, use kerosene upon the roosts and walls of the house. A dust bath is enjoyed by fowls.

THE POET AND THE CHILDREN.
BT JOHN G. wHITTEH

 With glory of winter sunshine Over his locks of gray, In the old historic mansion
 He sat on his last birthday. With his books and his pleasant pictures And his household and his kin, While sound as of myriads singing From far and near stole in. It came from his own fair city, From the prairie's boundiess plain, From the Golden Gate of sunset, And the cedar woods of Maine. And hIs heart grew warm within him, And hIs moistening eyes grew dim, For he knew that his country's children Were singing the songs of him: The lays of his lifes glad morning, The psalms of his evening time, Whose echoes shall float forever On the winds of every cline. All their beautiful cancellations, Sent forth ike binds of cheer, Came hocking back to his windows, And sang in the Poets ear. Grateful, but solemn and tender, The music rose and fell With joy akin to sadness
 And greeting like farewell With sense of awe he listened
 To the voices sweet and young; The last of earth aLd the first ot heaven Seemed in the songs they sung. And waiting little longer
 For the wonderful change to come, He heard the Summoning Angel Who calls Gods children homel And to him, in a holier welcome, Was the mystical meaning given Of the words of the blessed Master: "Of such is the kingdom of heayeni"
