SPINNING,

just as The spinner turns the wheel
And with her song winds in her throat
So aS turned the wheel of thought,
lis every round new pleasure brought
Until "There is | said.
NO joy that can compare with minp--
In all the world no heart sn blest =
And so the whole long day | spun,
And fast, so fast the thread wound ON
Hopes shuttle in my breast.
But while ! in the sunlight turned
The busy wheel and sang my song,
And while my shuttle was so full,
And all the threads so beautiful,
My spinning all went wrong.
The thread il broke and slipped my hold
Till could not discern
Where and which was he end sought
II tangled, and the wheel of thought
For me refused to turn
In the od-time cXultant way:
My hand its cunning all had lost;
1t could no longer deity spin,
Because the thread of hope had in
The thread of sorrow crost.

The Vegetable Garden.

From tho Germantown Telegraph.
With the advance of spring the vegetable
garden becomes an important factor in farm
operations. While too great haste sometimes
makes waste, 1t IL important that operations
in this line be commenced a. soon as the con-
dition of weather and soil will admit
Thorough manuring should be INDUCED in,
because II good vegetable crops are desired
there must DO an abundance OF food for their
production. Early crops should be provided
with little stimulus to give them good start.
For this purpose there Is nothing better than
nitrate OF soda, which IL an active fertilizer,
furnishing nitrogen to the plant 1t may be
applied at the rate of a pound or two To the
square rod and best ust at the etermination OF a
shower. Never during severe shower, as its
virtue il liable 10 be carried by the water of
the rain beyond the reach OF plants and so be
Of little use. The advantage OF this fertilizer
il its immediate availability when applied to
a moist soil, by which 1t is at once dissolv we'd |;
or II the soil Is dry, the nitrate may be dis
solved in water and the ground about the
plants sprlnkled with 1t, but its contac: with
plants should he avoided. Being stimulat-
ing fertilizer, its early application encourages
a vigorous growth and such development of
plants as brings into demand the more sub
stantial fertility with which the soil had been
previously supplied. An early start insures
early maturity and better opportunity for
securing the growth of succeeding crops
upon the same ground, which is often very
desirable.
