And told a tale which shocked all hearts tC
hear:
Most noble prince, would that were
dead,
Or that this news had fallen to me instead.
Your six brave brothers, on a hunting
round.
Or near, or far, now nowhere can be found.
For days and days both court and camp
And all the kingdoms space is we'll pa
trolled,
But not tiding, not lingering trace
We find 10 tell of their abiding place.
fear the good kings hair, just touched
with gray.
With TINS sharp grief will whiten quite
away;
And your dear mothers heart burdened
with gloom,
No moanless rest will find but in the tomb,
Unless some sudden, helpful miracle
Bring back their six lost SONS alive and
well"
This task be mine" the prince said, 81
will see
If such miracle there may not be;
II any doubt, let this be proof thereof
i leave loves dalllance Tor tue sake of love:
And though | compass each far hill and saa
Fear not, this good work shall be wrought
By me;
Henceforth no one shall evermore declare
If he were half as brave as lie is fair"
The echo of these words was hardly done
Before the prince his journey had begun.
Unarmed be went, no scrip had he or store
Except the faith which, burning, went be-
fore.
And duty's sense which chills the love of
sin,
And keeps the altar warm and bright
within.
The dome above his head was blue and fair.
Someho mild. sweet odor filed the air,
As though n thousand roses lowered nigh.
To change the key of that intolerant sky.
Whose lev beauty keeps the world away.
tor our December is to it as May.
All, who in simple words can easy tell
The stern, hard things which soon th,
prince betell;
How hunger smote him; how the wind,
forebors
But barely him to wreck on each bleak
shore;
What desolate, dismal days unnamed his
strength;
How Deaths cold couriers hailed him; how,
at length,
From time TO time he saw as poor as he
Some living thing which claimed his
charity;
For he who socks TO find the Holy Graft.
Or Love- demand, IN love must nowiss fail
A piteous raven, faint and famisbed.
CUT OF his own scant furnished dish he fed
And, coming to a stream where ono had set
The meshos of thick entangled not,
He saw n salmon struggl ing long in vain,
Which, loosing, he put in the stream again.
Once, too, unto a wolf, whose cries grew
dull
From bitter hunger. he was merciful-
And, that the beast his waning liz, might
live,
He scrupod not a choice repast to give.
Ono day when hope grew strangely dark

Australia and India a few years ago
party of gentlemen were exploring in In

a hut. 1t had a dome-shaped top, and was
hollow. The natives sad it must havs
been house built by some OF their ances

and had sunk into the earth, as all objects
do, after many years. But when the sand
was cleared away from it, the strange hut

THE STORY OF A KINGS SON.
A MORSE LEGEND.



1t fell in simpler times. the sagas saw.
Far in the past; yet who so reads today
Must poorly read, if he should fail to see
How blesG thing is heaven born CHARITY
How high, heroic quest for human good,
WINS its sure end by sweet, true ueighbor-
hood
a kings fair son the king had broad es-
tates)
Whose heart lay hid within those porphyry
gates
Where many a black-e eyed damsel and a
blue
Shot him with Loves sweet arrows through
and through,
And held him BY their coils of cunning
hair
And subtle sorceries. and lips most fair,
Heard, in the midst of joys exuberant flow.
A tale of swift Misunderstanding, narrowing
woe.
AS when a summer day of purest blue
Is by some cloud of ominous inky hue
o ercast and curtained, till the sun goes out
And nau hit is heard but the remorseless
shout
OF the mad wind and the thick beats of
RAIN
Which thud and thud against the window
pane,
Until the green earth looks almost to
drown,
While just as lifeless seems the flooded
town.
So seemed his heart, a scene of crushing
grief,
Far past the medicine Of mans relief
Ask you what hap so suddenly befell,
To work such change. where all before was
well2
All, me! how piteous seemed this cruel

In the us ual way of keeping cabbage in
winter there is a considerable loss by
freezing and decay. In attempting to
avoid this waste, we have tried with sue
cess the method of pitting here described.
A long pit three feet deep, ana a little

where the soil was dry and sandy, and
there was no danger that water would
enter. The bottom of the pit was loosened
lp so that the first tier of cabbages were
lanted in it. tie stems being set so deem
that the heads rested on the soil Toe cab
Da yes OF the next oier were set alternately
between the lower ones, having the roots
partly in the soil A thru tier was placed
on the second, but reversed, with the roots
upward. All the soft heads were put at
the top. Straw was laid between the
stems leaving the roofs out, and earth was
thrown upon the straw, burying the roots
three or four lncleI In pulling the cab
bages the ROOFS we're all ta6en up with
them, and not cut eff. A covering Oh
boards was laid on the pit to shed rain.
In the spring these cabbagss came out in
the best condition; the soft hod DIS had fllel
up and none Of the cabbages had been
.rozen. The pit was flied with selected
ca Obages, with the ilte ltion of keepin ,
taem for the spring. The same plan IS
been tried for several years, and Away
with satisfaction. Neignboring farmers
nave adopoe1 it, and continue to use it in
preference 10 any other method.

NOVEMBER.

Dull days and dripping caves; sad voices in
the fields;
The rust OF stubble and the brown Of
leaves,
Like times oblivion for the soul which
grleves,
Alone remains Of all the summer yields.
The reaper sleeps and rests; sheathed is the
sickle OF the ear;
Shadows gather from advancing vests:
Insre is lonesome wind which fills de-
sertel nests
And icy frost which glitters like frozen
tear.
Not like the tins when living things re.
joice
Not like the time wheu even graves put
forth,
With swallows thronglng summers south
tonorth,
And fell flowers tender as a loving vol CO.
Not like tbs May, which bath a smile and
not tear.
But days with thistlss pricldng in the
hours,
And little mounds OF dust where stood
the flowers,
And signs OF dying leaves along tho year.
