Poetry.


by NORA PERRY.
Come out aud hear the robins sing,
And hear the buebirds' tale OF spring
And see the swallows on the wing.
Come out and listen, listen low
And hear the grasses as they grow
And list the little winds that blow.
And learn to read their secret we'll
The secret that they softly tell
To bird and bee In drowsy dell,
OF bloomy banks that are to be,
or fragrant field and leafy tree,
And all the summer mystery;
OF bud and blossom, flower and fruit
That quickens now In sap and root,
And now in tender springing shoot.
Come out. come out the days are long,
But Nature sings her secret song
In secret ways-the days are long.
But swift a. sweet from day to day,
From hour to hour, the tuneful lay
Runs headlong on changeful way.
Come ont, then, in the early glow
or early springtime's bud and blow,
Come out and hear the grasses grow,
And all the secrets OF the spring
That met and murmur. spenk and ring,
To ears attuned to listening.

said editor loses confidence in man,
says everybody is for self, and friend
ship is farce. But oh, how his
heart does throb with JOY when he
tries man and finds him true as
steel and one who is willing to ac-
knowledge that you have some right
to run your business even if you do
not see as he does. This life is
made ur of offences and pardons.
In the eyes of many the editor com
mits all the offences aud if he can

poor quality of our psesent crop.
Mr.. Becker further says; Tobacco
is the product of manure. Let
good clover sod be mauured in the
fall and plowed down; again ma
nured in thespring and with reas-
onably fair season and careful cult
vation, good crop may be expected.
1t is great mistake to suppose that
tobacco should not be raised on the
same ground for successive years.
The best tobacco of the Connecticut
valleys has been raised on the same
ground for twenty years running,
and in some cases forty years. 1t
would be well for Lancaster county
farmers TO do likewise. Let them
not spare the manure. Use the same
ground year after year or plant on
good clover sod--never on a corn
