SUNRISE.

TIE world is speaking TO me this fair morn,
Its voice Is sweet and strong and manifold;
II has freshness as Of one new born,
II has a wisdom as OF one grown old.
And would satch its faintest undertone,
The dreamy murmur OF this whitelipped sea,
The browsing cattle with their shadows thrown
TO westward from the hilloclks on the Lea;
That softened outline OF the morning hills
Against the shining OF the eastern sky,
The sunlit vapor which the hollows fllls,
The shadows which athwart the vapor lie.
All, what can mean this manifold clear voice,
Which speaks and waits my eager Questoningi
II seems at first TO only say Rejoice"
Then comes doubt IL says some deeper thing

Sayings of Children.

We were talking about the war at

lated several incidents that had come
under my observation, while living
near the court house where farewell
banquets were given to the departing
soldiers. Walter appeared very
much interested, and finally said,

His papa was very tall and he has
unbounded admiration for him. My
husband appropriates only five feet,
one inch of perpendicular to himself,
and Walter, though fond OF him,
cannot be reconciled to his compar-

dav with a very dissatisfied face,
and said, ssMrs. Warren, was Mr..
Warren naughty why God didn't

Bless The Farmer Boy.

A character often written about
in fishing stories the barefOoted, tan
ned. and freckled farmers boy; that
very chap l saw coming toward me
as 1 was peering through the bushes
to find place where | could put my
flies. His twinkling eyes seemed to
be comparing my trim Lakewood
rod with his birch pole, and the silk
waterproof line with the cotton cord
that the wind was whipping IN the
air. He watched me as | cast ID the
rifles. and chuckled at me as he saw
nv line come back empty so often.
He thought to himself, 81 can beat
that" and he did! Going back to
the edge of the slashing, he threw
in his line; it hardly touched the
water when he shouted, ''Look' er,
will yer?" and a nice trout l saw
dangling at the end of his cord. Not
only once, but four times did he do
!
it, and that, too, in the very waters
I had so carefully fshed.
Bless the farmer boy Under his
slouched hat is ten times more WOOD
lore than many of us possess. He
can tell you as the warm spring days
come where the pheasant is building
her nest; how many eggs the quail
had Yesterday down in the tangled
woods in the old pasture lot; he
cannot tell you the name, but he
knows that brown bird with the spot
ted breast sitting yonder. In the
deep shadows of the woods 1t sings
a sweet song that softly echoes among
the great trees like the tinkllng OF
silver bells, while he sits on the moss
covered rock and listens until the
shadows turn to darkness; down the
old log road he hastens home &c
dream of the dark woods and the
green meadows, of the foamlng wa
tiers that rush by the great rocks
of the deep, quiet pool, barred ovel
with the shadows of the alders anc
where the trout hide away. Bless
the farm boy !-Forest and Stream.

A BEEF DAIRY.-A smart boy,
while examining q neighbor's new
gun. was heard to remark that cit
would be a darned good thing to
shoot a mink with Although there
was not much credit awarded to the
boy for his suggestion, there is a
principle involved that it is well to
keep in view. In the selection of
COWS for butter it is being learned
that COW will give thirty pounds of
milk a day, that yields one and one
half or two pounds of butter, is bet
ter than one yielding only half as
much butter from twice as much
milk and the claim that the big COW
will be worth more for beef in the
end disappears in the light of sec
ond thought, when any dairyman
can see that he loOses more every
year that he feeds poor butter COW,
if butter making is his business, than
the cow will be worth for beef above
the cost of fattening. With beef at
present prices, the butter maker
would do better to keep good butter
COWS, even if he puts them in COM
post when their usefulness is past.
But there is no need of this extreme
measure. There is no cow that will
fatten quicker when dried off than
one that gives rich milk.
