Outings for Farmers Wives


The children's country week" has
given health and happiness and knowl-
edge to thousands of city children. 1t is
well worth all it costs Thanks are Ger
tainly due to those who planned it.
But generous thought is needed tor
the farmers wives who give homes to
these poor children. The wife of a
clergyman in western Massachusetts, who
has been asked year after year 10 find
homes for those poor city children, told
me that she felt ASHAMED to ask the
Overworked farmers wives to add to Their
other burdens the care of several strange
children" 81 have two servants" said
she. "The work have TO do in a month
is not SO much as these farmers wives do
every day. They are tired all the time.
They have most Of them no help. They
do all the housewOrk of the family, the
washing and mending for the hired man,
as well as for their own men. They make
the butter and cheese. They make their
own clothes, do all the scrubbing and
cleaning, and are expected in emergen-
cles to rake hay and milk cows"
But the mother heart in the farmers
wife, when appealed to for the poor, pale
city child, opens to receive it. Still, the
end of summer finds her more worn and
tired for her generous deed. Now why
should not some return in kind be made
to women who thus give homes to such
little Onese The committee who have
charge Of sending out the children should
complete the circle of their generosity by
preparing ''city week. for all women
who give children country week" This

NV Dead.

Each wear when summer blooms again,
When roses lift their slender stems,
When grasses spring beneath the rain
All nature rich with diadems;
When all earth's lap is clothed in green
And birds pour forth their sweetest notes,
The landscape soft with misty sheen
And perfume subtle upward floats;
When all the senses lie at rest
Luied into perfect, peaceful calm,
Then comes sweet visions of the blest
Who rest in Gods encircling arm.
Across the waves of life's dark sea
Beyond the breakers and the tide.
Their faces dear come back to me
Their voices murmur at my side.
Life's volume opens at my touch
The pages white are fair to see,
And all the scenes | loved so much
Come through the silence back to me.
Again | see my childhood's home
Where merry voices music made,
Where sturdy brothers fearless roamed
And blooming maidens careless strayed.
The cool old kitchen wide and deep,
The moSsy door stone resting near,
The sparkling brook, the mountain steep
And every spot that seemed SO dear.
But years have bridged that happy time,
And change and death go sweeping by,
/ see The pure white stones outline
Their shafts against the summer sky.
Go back into thy quarries cold
oh marble white, that presses down
The dear familiar forms of old
And backward gives no answering sound
The soft green turf above their dust
Unheeding blooms in vcrtture fair,
And all the landscape lies at rest
While sweetest flowers blossom there.
Sleep sweet oh dead, all sorrows past
All cares and heartaches huShed to rest.
Kind mother earth around thee casts
Her mantle green, and on her breast
In calm reposc ye sWeetly sleep.
Ie heed not rain, nor snow. nor sun,
Nor rushing winds that downward sweep.
Lite's battle fought, thy work well done.
Across the sea of death so wide,
Bey0nd the waves W here all is peace,
Beyond the restless, swelling tide
Where teeting time itself shall cease,
" here soul greets soul. again We'll meet
" here golden sunlight floods the shore,
Where murmurng waves break at our feet
And Life is Love forever more.

The Immediate Delivery System.

Postmaster-General Villas has issued a crcu-
lar relating to the immediate delivery system
which is to be put in operation Oct. 1st. He
says Section of the Post Office Appropri-
alton Act, approved March Sd, 1885, provides
that special stamp, of the face valuation of
10 cents may be issued whenever deemed ad-
visabe which. when attached to letter, in ad-
dition to the lawful postage, the delivery of
which is to be from a free delivery office, or
at any town or village containing population
of 1000 or over, according to the federal GEN.
sus, shall be regarded as emitting such letter to
immediate delivery within the carrier limits of
free delivery office, which may be designated
by the Postmaster-General as special delivery
office, or within one mile of the post office or
of any other office coming within the provision
of this section, which may in like manner be
designated as free delivery office. 1t has ac-
cordingly been decided to introduce the special
delivery system on the first of October, 1885,
at all postoffces at which it is permitted by
law. Special delivery stamps can be used only
for the purpose of securing immediate delivery
of letters addressed TO and received in the mails
at any of the offices designated special deliv-
cry Offices. Under no circumstances are they
to be used in payment of pOstages of any des-
cription or of any regular fee, nor can any
other stamps be employed to secure special
delivery. .W
