THE NAME UNSUNG

'sSing ye," she said-the lyric muse
s.Of human hopes and fears,
OF human smiles and tears
In all the tones that singers use
They sang through all the years.
You sing brave songs of war;, she said
on sing the hopes Of youth:
You sing the might of truth;
You sing of stars, of roses red,
And maidens that love, in sooth.
sYou sing me well of joy,', she said.
And better yet of pain
OF hearts that loved in vain.
Of lovers lost or cold or dead,
Of hopes like blasted grain
She said, 'sYea, even of things divine.
Full loftily you sing;
ana but one gracious thing
Have you forgot, Oh! singers mine,
10 tune on pipe or string.''
''Of love that taught to WOO and wed.
OF love that died for others,
VI knitted friends like brothers,
You sing full well; and YETI she said,
"Who names the love of mothers?''
Ihey bent the knee and barred the head
Young poets of to-day,
Old bards of ages gray!
we cannot sing of her." they said:
"Spare that one name we pray.
sLet art claim all the rest,'' they cried:
Ihat name is natures own
: They spoke with graver tone;
Queen, thine be every name beside,
"But mother ours alone.''

WEAVING Calves.

A correspondent of the National
Stockman, upon the question Of feeding
calves, remarks: 81 prefer weaving
when two weeks old, while some think
it best to wean at the early age Of one
day. By the time the calf is two weeks
old it has commenced to thrive, has
put on some flesh, and is very much
more able to stand the strain on its
young system. I have had the best
success learning them to drink by not
giving them anything the first regular
time OF feeding. By the second their
appetites are sharpened and their thirst

ssTHE CHILDREN LAUGHED
AND SANG,
It was in the chill December

1t was in the chill December
And the Angel of Death came by,
And he rustled his wings of darkness
AS he swept through the wintry sky;
"A household of happy creatures
Dwell quiet and free from care,
And the Angel stole in softly,
And stood all silent there.
Out the children laughed and sang at
their play;
Never q fear nor a pang had they.)
And the Angel swiftly in silence
Struck home the mortal blow,
And in the wintry morning
He laid the father low
And wildly the Borrowing mother,
BeWlldered and stunned with woe,
w allied in her lone bereavement,
And wished that she too might go!
(But the children laughed and sang at their
play;
Never fear nor pang had they.)
Cold in the lonely chamber
Lay the fathers form at rest,
And they laid the delicate fower-wreaths
Upon his quiet breast;
And forth from his home they bore him,
And hid him from sound and sight,
And they heaped the cold earth above him
While the children's feet trod light.
(But the boys went home to their happy
play;
Never fear nor pang had they.)
And often the childish footsteps
Are turned to their fathers grave,
4 Where the grass with it's glistening boar
frost
Lies over that heart so brave;
And sometimes they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain;
And they say i'll their childish voices;
"Willpapa never come again?'
(But soon they laugh and sing at their
play;
Never fear nor pang have they.)
So God in His infinite pity
Shuts the eyes of the children DEAR
And they see not the fell Destroyer,
Though there eyes are so bright and clear,
And [ said: 'There's no Past for the
children
With its terrible pangs and stings;
And for them no brooding Future
Spreadeth its threatening wings.
All they see is the Present-To-day
And so let them laugh and sing at their
play"

Australian Domestic Servants.

Australia, especially New South
Wales, may be regarded as the paradise
| of Bridget and Sarah Jane. Not only
are wages high, but household labors
are pursued under conditions much
more favorable than those which pre-
vail in cold and gloomy climate like
that of England. Numbers of the Aus
tralian houses are of one story only
and few exceed two. Excepting in the
towns, where there is often good deal
Of dust but very little smoke, the air is
pure and clean, and there is relatively
little domestic cleansing to be per-
formed. For eight or nine months in the
year there are no fires required except
for domestic purposes, and in the princi-
pal cities the gas stove is beginning to
supercede the kitchen range. There is
no creeping downstairs in the cold and
darkness of winter morning, with
blue fingers and shivering limbs, to
light a fire, thaW the frozen water-pipes,
and clean a flight of front-door steps
while everything is icy to the touch and
gloomy to the vision. Moreover, there
are very few of the restraints, whole
some or otherwise, which are imposed
upon the freedom of the female domes-
tic in most Well-ordered households in
Great Britain. In Australia the miss
tress' authority is exercised on suffer-
ance, as it were, and she is obliged to
temper it with extreme discretion lest
her cook or housemaid should abruptly
leave her. Although, as a rule, domes-
tic servants in New South Wales are
somewhat extravaganza in their tastes,
many of them-and this is more particu-
larry the case with the Irish-will regu-
larly remit a portion of their earnings
for the support of their aged parents in
the mother country, or in order to en-
able their brothers and sisters to join
them in Australia. A girl who has
been accustomed to receive an annual
wage of f5 in Ireland, or of E1O in
England, and who earns, or rather is
paid, ESQ or f36 per annum in New
South Wales, will think nothing of Civ
ing a couple of guineas for bonnet or
hat of the latest fashion, and will array
herself on her Sunday OUT in a vel
vet mantle, for which she has given Ell
or tS, in such a manner that it is not
always easy to ascertain which is the
mistress and which the maid.

housekeeping.

An overworked woman may keep her
house in order, but she adds little to the
comfort of her home. Good housekeep-
ing is by no means as rare as good
housekeeping. 1t is of far less impor-
lance. A certain amounto drudgery
must be gone through with daily in any
calling; about three-fourths of life is
drudgery. One-fourth can be rescued
from the toll and mould of the world
by management and thought. The
most difficult and the most necessary
lesson for housekeeper to learn is that
she must assert her individuality. tits
useless to try to please everybody.
Many things in our homes are done
with San eye SINGLE to our neighbors.
Work must be pruned down and Topped
OFT until it matches strength, for the
latter refuses to be enlarged by any
amount Of thought. 1t is a nice point
to adjust the balance properly. It re-
quires much giving up and letting go.
What shall we give up? Ay, there's
the rub. Everything seems important.
Things must be kept clean, there is no
doubt about that; but the number of
things to be kept clean may be great. V
diminished. But each must solve for
herself the question Of simplifying liv-
ing. Women's letters are largely self
made. Carvings, upholstery, brasses,
bronzes, that cause frowns, backaches,
and heartaches are poor investment
of money and time. Things, more than
people, bring women to the verge of
despair. The endless round of mag
ined duties causes chronic overwork
among women, produces the saddest
results upon them and those dependent
upon them for rest and comfort.
''There is nothing in the world dread,n
said the Household Philosopher, '.ike
thoroughly exhausted woman No
amount of personal comfort ever COM
pensates for such state of affairs
Of course not. What constantly tired
woman is capable of generous sympathy
and ready help, or Of companionshipp
Can she divide care and double low?
The better part of life cries out for
warmth and tenderness; but the woman
who should give it are blindly wasting
themselves on material things, pushing
the outside of the cup without a thought
OF the wine within.

The Farm,

Beans are very necessary vegetable
for the farmer, as they can be used the
year round.
A ton of hay is said to contain 200
lbs. of mineral matter, which is taken
from the soil.
In times of drought MANFRED soil
contains more moisturethan that which
has received no manure.
A row of hardy evergreens planted
SO as to break the wind from the house
will be worth many times their cost
twenty years hence.
One thorough hoeing or cultivating
early in the season is worth more to the
crops than two STRINGS later, for OBJ
vious reasons.
Watch your fields and see where the
water stands and where the soil remains
wet longest, so you will know where to
putin drains next fall.
Our land is to be what our intelli-
gence and energy shall make it. So that
the capability of our soil is at once
the measure of our intelligence and
our thrift.
It will cost less for fertilizers to grow
corn in the east than it does to pay
freight on western corn, and we even
raise more per acre. than they can.
We can produce corn for so cents a
busheland the fodder for Sc ton.
All the profit derived is from the la
Dor. Bare land unstocked and un-
worked, is unproductiye. Farmers
should remember this fact, and they
will be less likely to destroy their
chances of profit by unwise economy in
farm labor.

to drink by placing the finger in the
mouth, and always gives the one trou-

can neither see nor hear it. Then it

Shying Horses.

One of the most dangerous disabili-
ties of the horse, especially if it be a
saddle-horse, is the act of shying, too
often produced by Furnishing the green
young horse for getting up at unused
sights. The habit may at length be-
come dangerous vice. Any horse is
liable to shy. Instead Of being punished
for it, he should be led to familiarize
himself with sights and sounds near to
him, by the only senses he can use.
There are the senses of touch, sight
and hearing. A horse terrified at the
SCUM of artillery, brass bands or other
noises, if made to stand as still as pos
sible while these sounds are continued,
soon looses the sense of fear and Curl
osity is excited. Beating only increaces
the fright. Most horses will Jump the
first time a sheet OF paper is blown I'M
der their feet. Whipping will cause
them to become still more frantic
at a recurrence, more from the fear of
the lash than the paper itself. The
better plan is to let them see the piece of
paper until instinct prompts them to
approach the object. A horse never
gets frightened at any object once he
is used to it. If he can be made to APP
PFC .ch a locomotive and place his nose
against it, however long it may take,
the locomotive being at rest, he will at
length wish to do so, and will there
after regard it with Indifference. Who
has not seen the child "shy round"
some suspicious object, and at
length approach it, if alone. It is the
same with the young horse.
Shying in the horse, however, is
often the result of near-sightedness.
If suspected, critical examination
should be made, for if the disability
lies in the formation of the eye the
animal is not fit for saddle use, nor
use in single harness. Driven double,
however, he soon comes to rely on his
mate, and the disability is not serious,
Above all, a horse inclined in the
least to shy should never be intrusted
to a lady unless she be a thoroughly
accomplished horsewoman.

KBKUsCH, OF coyIEeToS. INDIANA.
The lark sscends on Easter morning,
High in the purest airy realm
And in ner fight, the sky adjoining,
She sings a resurrection hymn.
And while high in air ascending,
thousand voices sing beneath,
Awake the old is fast relennng,
Awskel thou Joyous youthful earth.
Awake ye brooks, through valleys roaring,
And praise the Lord in ioyOus sound,
Awake upon this glorious morning,
Ye grasses and ye leaflets round.
Ye violets in the deer est forest,
Ye Rowers white and blossoms red,
Proclaim y al in solemn chorus,
That love is stronger than is death.
Awake We indolent hearts Of men,
Who larry in their winters sleep;
In gloomy lust and glowing pain,
Estranged to G Cd, their fortunes reap.
The strength Of God blows through the land,
Like the breath OF youth. o, let It in:
Like Samson rend the sinful band.
And then your hearts be Tree from sin.
Awskel ye spirits, who are yearning
Around the graves, with broken heart,
In fearful eyes, yen not be learning,
That spring again reveals its art.
Ye hypocrites, who are lost aiar,
Wandering on an erring road,
Awakel the world anew is born,
A wonder God again has wrought.
The withered plants again will bloom,
The new will rise. the old be gone,
The breath oil God Will burst the tomb;
Awake ii is our Easter morn.

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE,

The pure. the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse of wodless prayer,
The dream of love and truth,
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in griefs dark hour,
That proves friend indeed;
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh;
The Borrowings of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love,
Be firm and just and true;
So shall light that can not fade
Beam ell thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee,
'These things can never die"

applicable to their business in this line,
as we'll as to the persons carrying on the
drug business exclusively. They should
look into this matter before they unwit-
tingly lay themselves liable to some of
the penalties of the law. The act re-
ferred to, together with the amended
Prohibitory law. and one or two other
statutes, is embodied in neat pamphlet
published by Geo. w. Crane & Co., of

Milking.

correspondence StOcK ana home.
Some tell us to wet the teats; others
say that they should not be wet. My
plan of milking may be used as COM
promise between these two extremes.
First dust and clean the udder thou
cughly, then fill each teat successfully
with milk and rub the end briskly on
the palm of the left hand, forcing out a
little milk with the right. This vets
the end of the teat, cleans the cavity of
dirt, and opens the pores of the flesh,
making the milk flow more easily, the
stream more consolidated and the milk
clean. Thus we have the advantage
without the disadvantage of milking a
wet teat, and the danger of droppings
from wet, soiled hands into the pail.
After we have thus prepared, then milk
as fast as possible. Much depends on
quick and dry milking. If the COW is
inclined to hold her milk, be very gen.
tie with her, but continue to force the
milk into the teats, only milking out a
very little. It seems to work like An in
termittent spring; when the teat is
emptied the flowing seems to stop. By
gentleness, or q mess of feed, and pa
thence in milking, it is very generally
overcome. If the COW is inclined to be
fractions and kicks, be kind to her. Make
no fuss if she kicks you over; pick your
self up quietly, and pat her, and speak
to her, and she will soon
think it is all part of the same play.
If the COW has been roughly handled be-
fore you had better send her to the
butcher at once. If it is heifer of your
own raising, or has been used kindly,
you can make q gentle COW out 1her in
ninety-nine cases out of hundred. A
heifer we'll fed and kept well in milk
the first year after coming in is more
likely to be good mixer.

CHOICE.
MARGARET STILLE.

If you're minded to choose your wife,
Yield not to the smiling and grace
OF the damsel who lures and enthralls
With the spell of beautiful face;
For beauty is like the rose
Within thorns that have power to pain,
And bethink you that fragrance and bloom
Will pass, but the thorns remain.
Be not fain to win favor with her
Whose jest is as sharp as her ire,
Whose repartee cuts like the sword,
And whose wit has the brilliance of fire,
Lest you rue the keen edge of the blade
When mourning her ladyship's blame
All the poor silly moth, can he flee
When his wings are singed by the flames?
If concord. enjoyment and ease,
And helpful adroitness you prize,
Then search for the mai1en of tact
And strive TO find grace IN her eyes,
AS the sun she will gladden. your sky,
Nor cloud it by word or by act;
For the queen of her sex, in sooth,
Is the kindly woman of tact.
