THE APPLETREE

Graceful and 1.-THE and tail,
1t stands by the garden wall.
In the flush Of its pink-white bloom,
EIate with it's own perfume
Tossing its young bright head
In the Irst glad joy Of May,
While its singing leaves sing back
To the bird on the dancing spray.
''rm alivei Pm abloorn" it cries
To the winds and the laughing skies.
Hol for the gay young apple-tree
That stands by the garden WALL
Sturdy and broad and tall,
Over the garden wall
1t spreads it's branches wide
A bower on either side.
For the bending boughs hang low;
And with shouts and gay turmoil
The children gather like bees
To garner the golden spoil:
While the smiling mother sings,
"Rejoice for the gift it bringsr'
Ho! for the laden apple-tree
That stands by our garden wall!
The strong swift years fly past,
Each swifter than the last;
And the tree by the garden wall
Sees joy and grief befall.
Still from the spreading boughs
Some golden apples swing;
But the children come no more
For the autumn harvesting.
The tangled grass lies deep
Where the long path used to creep;
Yet hol for the brave old apple-ree
That leans DER the crumbling wall!
Now generations pass,
Like shadows on the grass.
What is there that remains
For all their toll and pains?
A little hollow place
Where once hearthstone lay:
An empty, silent space
Whence life hath gone away;
Tall brambles where the l1lacs grew,
Some fennel, and a clump of rue,
And this one gnarled old apple tres
Where once was the garden wall.

The Fate Of Stale Candy.

"What becomes of ell the stale candyT'
was asked a well-known confectioner by
the Cincinnati ITmes-Star. SIT Is made
up into fresh candy. There is not an
ounce of waste about confectionery. You
like chocolate caramels2 Well, they con-
tain more scraps than any other candy.
They are especially adapted for this on
account of their dark color. They were
first made by confectioner who received
the inspiration from his great stock Of
stale sweets"

The First Sewing Machine.

1t is strange how badly we get i'm
portant matters of history mixed. Ask
any well-informed person who invented
the sewing machine and the reply will be
Elias Howe, which is fa- from the truth
in the case. The first sewing machine
was patented in England by Thomas
Saint in 1850, sixty years before Howe
was born. One of Saints old machines
is now on exhibition in the Royal Agri-
cultural Hall, Islingtou, England

WISE WORDS.

The hardest pursuit is leisure.
All marvels are short breathed.
The heart is woman's university.
Harshness is emphasizing vulgarity.
Appreciation and originality are near
relations.
The quivering lip is the spasm of un-
shed tears.
Pity is self-evolved; enthusiasm is
contagious.
Flattery is the praise which we hear of
other people.
It is the incredulous who are most Gre
dulous. Doubt is the fruitful parent of
belief.
Despair is incipient ruin. The first is
dependent upon ourselves, the latter is
its sequence.
There is plenty of post-mortem wit;
even stupidity becomes wise when the
opportunity is past.
We are the sculptors of our individual
fortunes; exigencies which we ascribe to
fate are oftenest our own left handed
work.
Much good can be accomplished in a
little time. The repartee you think of,
fifteen minutes too late, might have cost
you friend.
Some geniuses write poems in marble,
and we call them sculptors; some write
their verses on parchment, aud we call
them laureates.
We call a person honest. Has he been
tried2 Temptation is the true touch
stone. Base metal may pass for gold un-
til some day it is tested and the acid dis
covers the alloy.
There are two sorts of courage; and
one is moral the other is physical. The
first is the outgrowth of conscience, the
latter of brute force. One makes heroes
and martyrs, the other pugilists and ma
tadors.
