THE OLD REAPER.

Mid the brownhaired and the black-haired
men,
With rudy faces aglow.
The old man stood in the harvest field,
With a head as white as snow.
"Let me cut sheaf, my boys" he said,
''Bef-re it is time to CO."
They put the sickle within his hand:
He bowed to the windy wheat;
Pleasantly fell the golden ears,
With the corn flowers Mt his feet.
He lifted handful, thoughtfully;
1t was ripe and full and sweet
Many and many a sheaf," he said,
II have cut in the years gone past;
And many and many sheaf these arms
On the harvest wains have cast.
But, children dear, am weary now,
And think this is-the last.
"Let me rest awhile beneath the tree;
For like to watch you go,
With sickles bright, through the ripe, ful
wheat,
And they spread their working coats for hin
Mong the grasses sweet and low.
When the sun grew high they came again,
For drink and their bread and meat:
And in the shadow he sleeping lay,
With sunshine on his feet.
Like child at night, outspent with play
He lay in slumber sweet.
When they came again, he family said:
II have crossed the meadow stiie.
My work Is done; tits nearly dark;
shall rest in a little while.'
That night IL was Harvest Home with him:
But he went away with a smile.

vegetarian. His fondness for almost eli
cooked vegetables is very marked.
Strlng-beans, peas, Lima beans and
squash disappear rapidly before him;
he will eat of beets and beet greens
with . greater relish than meat: cab
bage he cares but little for, but all
kinds-of green's like dandelions, mus
tard. etc, he eats as though he loved
them. Potatoes are not special favor
lite with him. although he will eat them.
I have noticed that cats of Maltese
blood are very fond of potatoes; ono
that l owned years ago would even eat
them raw. I know their tastes differ
as much as human beings, for some Of
