THE VALLEY OF REST.

Away from the presence of pain,
When our strength from the future we
borrow,
Unwearied by care for to-day
And untroubled by thought OF tne HUT
row,
Afar from the valley of tears
And apart from the sad realm of sorrow,
Lies the beauteous valley of rest.
Afar from this land of deceit,
Where the true is outweighed by the
seeming,
AWAY from this region of woe,
Which with hunger and sickness is teem-
ing,
Beyond this fierce kingdom of war,
Where from pierced hearts the life
blood is streaming,
Lies the calm of the valley of rest.
The peace that is there is unknown
To our hearts. Ne'er has song nor has
story
Described it. Its sun, whose bright
rays
Never set, is the light Of His glory,
And its bliss hath no end, as the
years
Pass away and the ages grow hoary,
In the wonderful valley of rest.
What count the deep draughts that
we all
At the fountain of mourning have taken,
What matters the valley of death
Which we pass through alone and for
saken,
When after few passing hours
The gloriied soul shall awaken
In the longed-for valley of rest?
Boston Traveller.

BABY'S RIGHTS

Her platform is only the cradle,
Her speeches are funny and few,
A wise little head,
But all that is said
Is only a wise little ''gooP
But how bsby's rights are respected!
One nod Of her dear, downy head,
Whenever she thinks she's neglected,
And down to her feet We are led.
She lifts up her voice in a minute,
Her protests are loud and are longl
Each household affair she is in it
To see thereis nothing goes wrong.
The right to twist limbs that are din
pied
In every extravsgant way;
To maui and to tease
The cat at her ease,
To crow and to creep all the day.
The right to love that is purest,
The right to mothers own love!
The right to guide that is surest,
To lead her wee footsteps above.
Her sweet little mouth she upraises.
As pure as a rose, dew-impearled;
The right to our kisses and praises
Oh, these her rights over the world.
Geo. Cooper, in Little Corporal.

CONCERNING BELLS.
Some Curious Superstitisns Recalled
Bells in Olden Time.

The effort of an Indiana family to
have certain church bells Of their city
silenced as a nuisance has been paral>
lelled in other places, as was mentioned
in this column day or two ago. But
the war on church bells has not always
been waged on such grounds. In seme
cases it has been the outgrowth Of an
iconoclastic temper on the part of per-
sons who wished to break the force of
the religious associations which cluster
around the music of the spires. In olden
times bells were supposed to have cer-
tain supernatural powers. They were
used to disarm Satan when he visited
pieus communities on earth. On their
holy sounds the souls of the dead we're
waited to Heaven.
When the French took Zweibrucken
in 1877, we read that they tried to melt
one of the local church bells, when ii
sweated drops of blood, which one of
the officers wiped off with handker-
chief so that he could show the stains to
King Louis in proof of his assertions.
In Sweden, long, long ago, there lived
a race of giants who were so wicked as
to hurl rocks at the churches to try to
destroy them. One day peasant, going
to the cave of one of these monsters,
heard himself called, Jacob, Jacob, come
in and eat of my stew" May" answer
ed Jacob, who would not for worlds have
broken fast with sacriligeous creature
like that, "if you have more stew than
you can eat, you had better lay the rest
aside for the morrow" But cannot
wait till the morrow" pleaded the giant
they have brought these horrid church
bells into Sweden, and l cannot with
stand their power. 1 must fee" "And
when come you back?" asked Jacob.
Not till the hills have become the bot
tom of the sea, and the sea turned into
farming land" quoth the giant. And he
was as good as his word; for from that
day forth the rock hurling monsters
were unknown in Sweden, and the
churches have enjoyed peace like that
of Heaven. Washington Star.

Care of Farm Wagons.

Carriages and farm wagons might be
made to last twice as long if only few
moments were spent each week during
dry weather IN Tightening up the bolts
that hold the wagon together. As a
rule, farmers give no attention to this
work, and only find out that bolt is
loose when the nut is lost, or some por-
tion of the wood work breaks down. Du-
ring every dry season the wood work of
most wagons shrinks enough to loosen
the bolts, which If not frightened will
permit the frame of the wagon to start
in the joints. and thus rapidly wear off
the tenants and enlarge the mortices.
Should the wagon hold together until
wet weather comes, the open joints thus
made will be filled with water and
frightened; but water having once get
into the interior of the wood, uncovered
by paint, 1t softens it, and decay will be-
gin. and, when once begun, 1t will be but
q short time before the frame of the
wagon is beyond repair. But, if few
moments had been spent in Tightening
the bolts at the right time, this would
have been prevented.
The wheels of wagon usually Ie-
ceive more attention than the frame ;but
even these are often neglected., because
when affected by dry weather they can
not be repaired by the farmer himself !;
for, when tire Is once loosened, it re-
quires blacksmith to tighten 1t. AS
this is somewhat costly. the farmer oft
en- neglects it. hoping each week that the
weather will change and the roads be
come wet enough to tighten up the
wheels, and thus save the expense of
resetting the tires. We have often seen
men try to economic by wetting their
wagon wheels when the tires become
loose. every time the wagon is used,
thinking to tighten them and save the
expense of resetting the tires. This is
all wrong and far from economy. When
tire gets loose it should be at once
frightened, even though it should be
knewn that it would rain the next day.
In fact, wheel with loose tire should
always be kept from water; fer the
joints being opened the water penetrates
where it softens the wood, and causes it
not only to wear rapidly, but to decay.
1t is very important to keep wheel
tight enough to prevent water from
getting into the mortices, because the
least decay opens the interior of the hub
to the weather, and will let in the water
not only every time the wagon is out in
the rain, but even in fair weather, 80
long as the water stands in any portion
OF the road over which the wagon is to
pass. The farmer never spends his
money in the repair of any implements
to better advantage than when he gets a
tire reset.
To keep the water out of the joints of
a wagon it is important that the woods
work should be kept painted. This, as
long as the joints are kept tight by the
iron work, will prevent any water from
penetrating the wood; but the moment,
for any reason, the iron work fails to
keep the joints tight, the paint cracks
in the joints and thus lets the water in;
for this reason it is important to be ever
on the watch during dry weather for
loose bolts and loose tires on the wagons
that are in daily use.-Mass. Plough
man.
