leading men of the state was organized, and active
work began. The first meeting was held in Jan
nary hut the practical work was begun on the first
Tuesday in May. The premiums offered by the
state were so for the greatest numjer-not less
than 1,G05 cuttings, or $500 trees. The result was
that more than million of acres were soon bloom

means an enlargement Of the structure and Of

a local industry that benefits directly or indi-
rectly all classes of the community. What MIR.
>ibley said of the character of the operatives
he employs is worth considering. While any
mandatory that employs a large number of
hands is financial aid to the place in which it

desirable element. As to this we need moi

that the operatives of the shoe factory in this
city are our own people, and citizens of eX-

Reform Needed in Bills of Fare.

One of the needed reforms Of the
present time is reform in our bills
OF fare. Why should bill of fare be
termed q menu2 Or, why should
American dishes be disguised under
foreign names2 Why should not soup
remain soup when served on the
table? Why should not the potato,
after it passes through the hand of
the cook, not continue to be potato2
Why should fish when baked or
boiled assume q French cognonYen2
Why should the long array OF dishes
that are prepared daily for hungry
Americans be given foreign titles9
Why, in short, should the average
citizen be obliged TO carry polyglot
language dictionary to every meal for
the pronunciation and definition of
the different dishes of the bill of farce
A scholar may proftably find leisure
to wrangle over the pronunciation of
Cicero, but life is far too short for the
majority of people to waste it in en-
deavoring to find out the meaning of
the various French, Italian and other
foreign terms applied to the badly
cooked food set before them at hotels
and restaurants.-Mrs Emma p. Ew-

To MY WIFE.

Come 70 me, dearest, I'm lonely without thee:
Day time and night time I'm thinking about thee;
Night time and day time in dreams behold thee;
Unwecome the waking that ceases to fold thee.
Come 20 me, darling, my sorrows 70 tighten;
Come in thy beauty, TO bless and 60 brighten;
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly,
Come ia thy loneliness, queenly and holy.
Swallows win fit round the desolate ruin,
Telling of spring and its joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love and its manifold treas
Are circling my heart with promise Of pleasure,
o, spring of my spirits o, May of my bosoml
Shine out ON my soul till it burgeon and blossom;
The past of my life has rose root within it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunshine can win it.
Figures that move like song through the even;
Features lit up by reflex of heaven
Eyes like the skies OF poor Erin, our mother,
Where shadow and sunshine are chasing each
other.
Smiles coming seldom, but childlse and simple,
Opening their eyes from the heart of dimple;
oh, thanks to tho Saviour, that even thy seeming
IL left to the exile TO brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad when you knew was glad
dened
Dear are you sad now To hear am saddened?
Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time, love,
AS octave to octave, and rhyme unto rhyme, love.

You cannot smile out my cheek viii be glowing;

You viii not linger when shall have died. love.
Come to me, dear, ere die ii my sorrow,
Rise on my gloom like the sun OF tomorrow;
Strong swift and fond, as the words which
speak, love,
with a song on your lips and Q smile on your

Come, for my heart in your absence is weary;
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and dreary;
Come to my heart that is aching to press thee

Probably no one has noted the daily

tragic and miserable death, by small

where the fifo and drum, playing
lively airs, have often kept men on
