NY Maid and Muse.

If thus to reach serener skies
And higher realms of song 1 tried,
Leila, with her bewitching eyes,
Stands laughing ever by my side.
And thus it is she gives command:
"Seek you not thus the strains sublime.
Swear, poet! Listen-lift your hand:
For me alone must be your rhyme:
This lady's gifts you must refuse"
My thoughts are in confusion thrown.
l hesitate until the muse
Impatient hath in anger grown.
Such is the little tyrant's will.
To please her, 1 can scarce refuse.
And yet hesitate, and still
vow l know not which to choose.
Help me, ye gods; give me your aid;
Some answer to my quand'ry make.
Shall obey the muse or maid?
Which of the two shall forsake?
But Leila, with her blushing check,
Thus to my question quick responds:
"The muse is old, her voice is weak;
Love holds you by the stronger bonds"
And therefore, if my little song,
Sung thus but for the passing day,
Seems pulsing not with passion strong,
But, rather, like CLEAN of spray,
1t is not that the passionate strength
OF effort long would not delight
But that my darling has at length
Angered, and put the muse to flight.

Mothers Girl.

She sits securely by my side,
My benny, little lass!
The world is cold, the world is wide, .
let the cold world pass;
With Mary smiling up at me,
I care not what the world may be.
She looks into my faded face,
My bonny, little lass!
But does not see the wrinkled place
Where Times rough footsteps pass;
She measures me by loves own rule,
And thinks 'tmamma is beautiful"
She asks me many curious things.
My bonny, little lass!
"Be angels shaking out their wings?"
She says when snow showers pass.
1 kiss her happy face and say,
"Angels have surely passed this way"
She looks at me with serious eyes,
My bonny, little lass!
Right up to mine the sweet thoughts rise
That through her lashes pass.
She pats my cheek, with smile and nod,
And softly asks, "Does you know God?"
And though / cannot answer her,
My bonny, little lass
Queer little questions quantity stir
The ripping words that pass
"Is God Quaker? cause you know,
He thees and thous the verses so."
She holds her head against my heart,
My bonny, little lass!
Her eyeids dreop, her tired lips rest,
Her thoughts to dreamland pass;
While bending down to kiss that curl,
hear her whisper, "Mother's Girl"

Your Children

Are constantly exposed to danger from
Colds, Whooping Cough, Group, and
diseases peculiar to the throat and
lungs. For such ailments, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, promptly admins
tered, affords speedy relief and cure.
AS remedy for Whooping Cough,
with which many of our children were
afflicted, we used, during the past win
ter, with much satisfaction, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. For this affection, we
consider this preparation the most eff
cacious of all the medicines which have
come to our knowledge.-Mary Park
hurst, Preceptress, Home for Little
Wanderers, Doncaster, Md.
My children have been peculiarly sub
ject to attacks of Group, and I failed to
find any effective remedy until COM
menced administering Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. This preparation relieves the
difficulty CT breathing and invariably
cures the complaint. David G. Starks,
Chatham, Columbia Co., N. Y.
have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
in my family for many years, and
have found it especially valuable in
Whooping Cough This medicine allays
all irritation, prevents Inflammation from
extending to the lungs, and quickly sub
dues any tendency to Lung Complaint.
j. B. Wellington, Plainville, Mich.
I find no medicine so effective, for
Group and Whooping Cough, as Ayers

THE OLD CRADLE.

Meath the Wondering roof where dark shadows lay
Where glimmering sunbeams but fitfully play,
Where the bat uBdisturbed wheels purposees
flight
In silence as deep as the hush of the night,
Stands no rich gem of art. with its workmanship
rare,
But dingy old cradle, Imprinted and bare,
With It's tfickly SCARED sides, time.worn and dust
-trOwn,
II seems TO our vision as senseess and lone.
For little we know of the hopes and the fears
Garnered up in its depths, in the long buried years,
When iair infant forms to its pillows were prest,
And mo hers sweet lullaby soothed them to rest
nd our dull mortal with its half mufed strings
Catches not the soft rustic of angelic wings;
We piss the bright forms of the radiant band
That swayed the old cradle with shadowy hand
For mothers love cngs to the babes that she
bore,
Though h. footsteps may tread on Eternity's shore
And her spirit still fingers around the low bed
VIII re she pillowed in slumber the innocent head,
Though the bright ousehold band. once cherished
may be
Broken and scattered by land al DER sea,
Yet IA mothers eye notes them with tenderest care
And follows each waDderer with blessing and prayer
The love of mother, the nobest of earth,
Its undy ing power tells of heavenly birth,
II breaks the hard fefiers of death and the tomb,
Disptls from our spirits all darkness and gloom,
And its strength and devotion remains still the
Through sunshine and shadow, through glory and
shame.
Do we falter or faint? A mothers dear hand
Points our footsteps anew to a far Better Land.

Fruit-PreServing by Women.

In connection with the discussion
whether fruit-ereserving is profitable for
women, an item from the Rockland Cour-
Ter, relating the success of two Maine
girls, may be found interesting There
seems to be no doubt that some women
can make money in this way, while others
can not. 1t depends somewhat upon in
dividual ability, and still more on locality
and circumstances -
Last fall Misses Sarah NJ. Thomas and
Lizzie f, Davis commenced the manufac-
ture OF apple ielIies on the Davis farm, at
the foot of Chickawaukie Pond. These
jellies they shipped as venture to whole
sale dealers in Massachusetts and New
York. Finding a ready sale at remunera.
tive prices, they continued the sweet bust
ness, and up to date have shipped 1900
glasses. They have now $50 bushels of
apples on hand TO mrke up into jelly, but
are enjoying little vacation on account OF
a delay in receiving glasses. They have
more orders than they can comfortably fill.
They do all the work themselves"

THE HILLS OF NEW ENGLAND.

Oh beautiful Hills of New England,
That rise in your grandeur supreme,
Whose crags are reflected and mirrored
In clear mountain lakelet and stream.
The distance but lends to your beauty,
And adds soft velvety sheen;
While sunlight and shadow together
Weave charms DER the exquisite scene.
How proudly, dear Hills Of New England,
You gaze from your glorious height
Der soft undulations, revealing
The features that rapture our sight!
Your cliffs looking over the valleys
All filled with the ripening maize
Are full of a silence bespeaiiDg
The lapses of unnumbered days.
The storms that break over your submits,
Eciipsing your glories from view,
Serve only to heighten your grandeur
Where smilsth the sunshine anew.
Your birds sing the songs that are sweetest,
Your brooks are the coolest that run,
Your flowers are the fairest that open
Beneath the ail-glorious sun.
When rich mellow tints of the autumn
Are changing your woodlands and glades,
'Tis then that fond memory lingtrs,
And with the leaves lingering fades.
The feathery snow fakes In falling
Are carried aloit by the breeze,
Then drop, as mantle of ermine,
And rest on your beautiful trees.
And We no longer behold you,
Dear Hills of New England, our dreams
Will glow like the gold of a sunrise,
That kisses your brow wit its beams.
GOOD housekeeping.
