But oft as l sit in my chamber.
In the twilight, calm and still,
long for the children's voices,
Hong for the clinging arms,
As unto my ear they whisper
Their tiny griefs and alarms.
And my silent room is peopied
With forms can almost see,
The forms of the dear dream children
Who cluster about my knee.

/ feel their breath on my cheek,
And my fancy again makes real
The dear ones my heart would seek
And so sport with my children.
And watch their sweet, quaint ways,
Til my heart grows heavy with longing
And my eyes are dim as gaze.
For alas they are but shadows
That out of the darkness grows;
Only the frail dream children
That the heart alone can know.

The Melon Patch.

Ia some localities it is not yet too late 10
plant melons. The spring has been so cold
and wet that they are late every where.
There are seasons, too, which Gem 10 be 50
late that the farmer is blue beyond measu re.
He thinks he sees starvation before him.
Yet, when tpe season does open, our Ameri-
can slp streams down with all penetrating
warmth, and forces vegetation from seed
70 maturity apparently in Jew weeks
Thus things are evened up. and late seasons
occasionally turn out remarkably fruitful
Let US hoIe it viii be so this year
To raise melons most successfully in tbs
family garden it is best to sprout the seeds
in hot-bed 'or cold frame early in tbs
season say-two 70 three weeks before the
danger from frost is over. Cut sods ab0u
three by four inches in size, turn then
wrong side up, lay them upon the soil in tbf
hot-bed, drop three TO four seeds upon each
and cover by spriDllhng soil over them
They will sprout and grow, and have then
