MISS

50 full of childish JOY
Were we as hand in hand together
We walked, as simple girl and boy,
Across the mOOrlands tossing heather.
At parting-time you laughed farewell
With waving hand and nodding head;
II seemed no requiem to tell
OF broken hearts now crushed and deadl
Farewell"
When We were older grown
And chidhoods hours had taken wing,
When April-days of life had flown
And left you in your fair young spring,
touched your dainty tingertips
And shyly sought your downcast eyes;
Our hearts 50 full of love, our lips
We're silent save for whispered sighs!
Farewell"
The summer noon of life
Brought TO the bud blossomed sweetness;
Then forever claimed my wife
And Joy was crowned in its completeness,
Then came mournful sound Of woe.
Deep as the desert whirlwind's blast;
And desolation's fereest throe
Told where the light had passed!
'Fureweu'
II echoes through the gloom
Bringing whispered thought OF pleasure
Fen though through the portals of the tomb
Deaths angel bore my hearts best treasure
For when the golden bowl be broken,
And loose the silver life cord lies,
Earths SAD farewells are all unspoken
Beyond the gates OF Paradise,

How to Get More Eggs

II is a fact but little known to people who
keep poultry, that the first part Of hen which
become disarrangcd on the approach of disease,
is the oyarics or egg producing organs
Excess of fat, exposure to wet or cold, poor
condition. shedding feathers, improper food,
want Of exercise, or lack Of certain elements ia
the food to devclope the embryo egg, will all
nroduce the same effect and cause the hens to
stop laying.
that when hen ceases laying it is positive
symptom she will soon be sick; but 1t can be
stated with the utmost assurance that some
thing is wrong or she would not cease laying
for weeks, and often months.
The annual egg product per hen, in this coun-
try ranges from three to eight dozen each.
Now this is by far to small There is no earthly
reason why every hen that lays at all, should
not be made to lay from ten to fifteen dozen
eggs each per year and continue to do so for at
least five years. We know Of parties who get
eggs at that rate in md-wnter i'll our cold cit
mate.

Of March s, 1887, 81 had excellent results from

Postal Laws.

For the benit Of all persons concerned, and
they are many, we give the United States Postal
Laws relating to newspapers and subscribers
|. Subscribers who do not give express no.
tice to the contrary are considered as wishing to
continue their subscription.
II. II the subscribers order the discontinue
ance OF their periodicals the publisher may con-
tinuc sending them until all arrearages are paid
up.
III. II subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the office to which they
are directed, they are held responsible until they
have settled their bill and ordered them discon-
tinued.
" II subscribers move to other places and
fail to inform the publisher, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsble.
V. Any person who receives a newspaper
and makes use Of it, whether he has ordered it
OF not, is held in law to be a subscriber.
VI If subscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publishers at the end
of their time, If they do not wish to continue
taking it otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it on and the subscriber is responsible
until express notice, with payment of all ar

successful wherever they have been instituted
and Cincinnati offers very good example of

the organization of the first society, there has
been a steady increase, and there are now 400
of them. About $4,000 people, or one. quarter
OF the population are members Of them. II the
following estimated figures are reliable they
make Cincinnati one oft, if not the most fore
most building society of the country. The a.
