MY LEGACY.

A rare and priceless legacy
The fair, sweet summer left TO me;
Rare pictures, gems, think them all,
Which have hung on memory wall.
And in my heart the summer lives
With all the JOY that summer gives.
Green hill-sides dotted DER with trees,
Tall grasses bent with playful breeze,
Wide meadows starred with daisies white,
And over all, the sunshine bright.
o, winter has no power TO chill
heart that holds warm summer still
But more than all its birds and flowers,
Far more than cen its golden hours,
The gracious summer left to me,
In its most priceless legacy,
sweet true love, which can not die,
However cold the winters sky!
Close in my heart hold the gift
Which from my life ali clouds will lift.
Together love and recall
The pictures hung on memOry's wall. .
My little love, with sweet brown eyes,
Who came to me meath summer skies.
The golden hours were bright TO me
Only when they were shared with thee:
The flowers seemed sweetest and most fair
When thou their beauty deigned to wear.
And now my heart forever lives
Mid all the joys that summer gives.

FOB DUB YOUNG FOLKS
PUSSY CATS EXPLOIT.


Old Pussy-cat Gray is both handsome and
Renowned for her prowess is she;
Ii she sharpens her claws tits death to rat
Where one mouse Is caught by very smart
This wonderful puss catches three.
Her dress is of gray, with broad trimmings
AS soft and as shiny as silk;
Though she has but one suit, she never is
slack,
But washes her face, and each whisker
On drinking her saucer OF milk.
Her manner is gentle: her courage is great;
From none doth she flee but the man
Who comes for old rags to the area gate;
For the notion has entered her wise little
That he'll carry her on If he can.
It CHANGED that neIghbor, who lived very
near,
A visit was wishing to make.
And pussys kind mistress, to make the way
Took home her pet parrot till she should APP
Nor dreamt of the strife it would wake.
The parrot, though wise. but one sentence
which reached each the extent of his lore;
" win you diner VIII you diner win you dine.
He shrilly would cry Ter and DER.
Old Pussy-cat Gray. fast asleep in chair,
Awoke from her dreams with start.
What curious creature was sitting up there?
She gazed all about with q wondering air,
Surprise in her small feline heart.
" It looks like chicken; perhaps 1t is fat"
She thought, with a blink of her eyes.
It surely must taste quite as good as rat.

The parrot poor creature. looked on In dis
For he knew that It boded him I'll.
So he tried to prepare for the coming ARRAY
BY sharp'ning his claws in bloodthirsty
And solemnly whetting his bill.
With green eyes aslow, and slow switching
Puss suddenly sprang on her prey.
Then, oh there arose such q terrible wall!
The feathers and fur flew like leaves In q
Alas for poor Pussy-cat Gray.

Pussy-cat Gray,
Her whiskers erect with alright,
Her tail, thrice its size, stood stock still in

AWAY,
Her senses deserving her quite.
She hid meath the lounge, and that valorous
cat
Came not forth ct her kind mistress

For. though she had brayely slain many a
rat,
She dreamt not chicken could speak out
like that,
So was not prepared: that was all.
Grown older and wiser is Pussy-cat Gray
A fat and q solemn gray sinner;
Yet, show her parrot and she'll fee away
As quickly as when on the memorable day
That Polly but asked her to dinner.

Importance of Bulk in Food.

Although the presence of sufficient
quantity of nutritive matters in the food
Is naturally the most fundamental mat
ter for consideration, its bulk is scarcely
less important. The function of diges-
ton requires that the food shall prop
erly fill the stomach; and however large
the supply of nutritive matters may be,
their effect is imperfectly brought out if
the food be too small in bulk, and it
actually becomes more valuable if
diluted with woody fibre or some other
inert substance. On the other hand, il
a food be too bulky, the sense of reple-
ton causes the animal to cease eating
long before it has obtained a sufficient
supply of nutritive matter. 1t is most
necessary. therefore, to study the bulk
of the food, and to consider how to mix
different substances in such manner as
to adjust the proportion of nutritive
matter to their bulk. If we examine the
nature of the mixed foods most in vogue
among feeders, it will be most generally
found that very bulky food is combined
with another of opposite properties.
Hence roots, the most bulky of all kinds
of food, are used along with oil-cake or
bean-meal; and if, from any circum-
stances, it becomes necessary to replace
q large amount of roots by the latter
substance, the deficient bulk must be
replaced by hay or straw.-Boston
Herald.

EASY THINGS.

Things Easily Learned Are Of Compare
lively Little value-Hard Lessons Neoes-
sary to Final Success.
There are some boys who do not like
to learn anything that is hard. They
like easy lessons and easy work, but
they forget that things which are
learned easily are of comparatively lit
tie value when they are learned. A
man who confines himself to easy
things must do hard work for small
pay. For example, a boy can learn to
saw wood in i've minutes; any boy can
can learn to saw it In the same time;
any ignorant person can learn it just
as easily; and the result is, the boy who
has only learned to saw wood, If he
gets work to do, must do it in COMPETE
ton with the most ignorant class, and
accept the wages for which they are
willing to work.
Now, it is very well for boy to
know how to saw wood. But suppose
he knew how to build steam engineg,
This would be much harder to learn
than saving wood; but when he had
learned it he would know something
which other people do not know, and
when he got work to do other people
could not come and get it away from
him. He would have a prospect of
steady work and good wages; he would
have good trade and so be independ-
ent. Boys should think Of this, and
spend their early days in learning the
thing they need to know in after years.
Some boys are very anxious to earn;
but this is not always best. 1t is often
more important that boys should learn.
When they are young they can earn but
little, but they can learn much, and II
they learn things thoroughly when
young, they viii earn when they are
older much more than enough to mako
up for the time and labor which they
spent in learning what to do and how
to do it.-Na:ioual Presbyterian.
