Caught In her bosom's snowy hem,
Some buttercups are fastened in
All, how l envy them
They do not miss their meadow place,
Nor are they conscious that their skies
Are not the heavens, but her face,
Her hair and mild blue eyes.
There, in the downy meshes pinned,
Such sweet illusions haunt their rest,
They think her breath the fragrant wind.
And tremble on her breast;

A captive secret slip its cell,

of feeling, yet we cannot altogether di
vest ourself of sympathy for a country
whose language makes it homeless
I While we say home ljfe in the country
does not differ essentially in some re-
spects from home life elsewhere, yet in
other respects the difference between it
and that of the populous city, is marked
and decided. Life on the farm means
breathing the health-giving air, pure
and clear, as God made it, and not an at
mosphere tainted with pollution as it
comes up from reeking dens of nOisome
| degradation. Nowhere are there such
facilities for making home "a thing of
beauty and joy" through life as in the
country. The space is not limited by
the solid walls of your next door neigh
bor; and nature is about it ever ready
to repay with interest in beauty the at
tention that is given her in the way of
planting trees, shrubs and flowers. 1t
true, the question of work in farm
home is not an idle one, for it is such
that it requires energy, skill, and the
! gift of continuance. There is often too
much labor, and too little time for re-
creation, or in other words, there is
over work and under rest" But how is
! this state of affairs, which is oftener ew-
ing to the inability to procure efficient
help than it is to the unwiiliDgness to do
so, to be made better? This serious and
veXed question of scarcity of help is be-
coming perplexiDg one, and there must
be something wrong somewhere. or it
would not be so. There seems to be
prejudice existing against house work
! outside of ones own home, and with
whom rests the blame? A woman may
teach all grades of children-she may
serve for all classes of people, and dc a
hundred and one other things for the
purpose of maintaining herself, and still
feel that she retains her responsibility,
but as soon as she enters a house to do
kitchen work for wages, even in the
most respectable of families, she and
others seem to feel that she has lost
caste, and has lowered herself in the es-
timation of all, and why is it? 1t can
not be the work, for the farmers wife
and daughters of the household do this
same work with not thought of losing
| their own or others respect, but rather
with The assurance they are performing
a high and holy duty. Therefore it is
time to cast about for some way out of
this unpleasant condition of scarcity of
help and ovsrburdened farm women.
The speediest way in which-to meet this
difficulty. would seem to be in lesssning
the work to be performed. Our large or
even moderate sized farms, where hands
have to be employed to assist in the farm
labor, instead of overtaxing the health
and strength of the wife and daughters,
to provide for them. would it not be
better and more economical to erect a
comfortable bOnse, at some convenient
place on the farm for the laborer and his
family, and thereby have his wants pro-
vided for by his own household,
thus giving more time to the inmates
of the farm home for rest, recreation, or
that duty which we all owe. administer
ing to the sick and afflicted. Then there
are many conveniencss and improve
ments that might be provided for the

HOME LIFE ON THE FARM.
By Miss Mary Lib. Hogue, LOydsyiIle

After all that has been said and writ
ten about country life, the farm, and all
connected Herewith. it seems almost
| like presumption to come before an intel
ligent audience and expect to offer any
thing new or entertaining upon the sub
ject of Home life on the farm'-there
fore, if We succeed in not becoming too
tedious will be satisfied.
The pursuit of agriculture may be said
to be the most important of this or any
other nation. for the multitude that en-
gage in other occupations, and the great
mass of humanity that thrOng the crowd
ed thoroughfares of cur many cities. are
all dependent upon it-"For the farmer
feeds them ALL" Some one has said of
this occupation, Though it takes hard
labor, and is not quite so 'nobby.' or quite
SO easy as soEe others, yet there are
more hard dollars in it, more indie
pendence, real peace, contentment and
health" and adds:
"How many mourn, when useless,
That they didn't see the charm,
The safety and independence
OF a life on the good old farm"
Then, since the farmer plays such an
important part on the worlds broad
stage of action, should not his home e,and
home life be subject Of earnest interest
and consideration? Not invading the
sanctity of his private life, to hold it up
| for blame or idle comments, but with
the earnest desire that the good may be
promoted, aud the i'll discouraged, the
same as should be felt for the home and
home life of those engaged in any and all
other occupations.
True. home life on the farm does not
differ essentially in many respects from
true home life elsewhere. A place com.
passed by walls, and sheltered by root
is not always home in the truest sense
of the word. 1t takes more than this tC
make one. But where there is conf
uODCCs AONlhk hlAuHCoo, anu oG1I-odOl iliOS
where there is hearing and forbearing
order, industry, refinement and iDtelli-
gence, there will the heart be also, and
there will be true home, whether it be
sheltered by costly mansard, or thatcE
ed with straw, but if the latter it will
not long remain SO. 1t is said there is
no word for home in the French Ian
guage; but Mark Twain says "a triI
through the heart of France seems tt
reveal glimpses of Paradise, or visions OF
tabled fairy land" and adds, "since they
have the article itself in such an attrac-
live aspect. they ought to manage to ge
along without the words" Yet we arr
at loss to know what else could con-
vey so much meaning as the word home
does to the average American miHd. i
seems there should be some clinginl
memory, or feelings of tenderness, foI
the sacred name of home whether i
comes up from the sordid depths of ig
norance, or from the heights of sublime
