HEFISHERMAN'S WIFE.
BY JAMES X. REEVE.

1t was autumn along the north coast.
The summer had gone all at once. The
blue sky had given place to sky. gray,
Wind-swept, with low, driving clouds,
which threw down little flulIies of snow
every now and then.
There were rocks upon the shore upon
which no verdure grew, and far inland
the soil was poor, sterile and inhospta-
Bile for man and beast; a little grass
grew-llot nuch-and the fail of the
thresher had not been needed for many a
year.
It was not place that one would
choose to live in, after the summer had
gone; but there are many places in the
world that one would not choose to live
in. at any time. In the summer, these
people found the means of a poor liveli-
hood here, and so they stayed. In the
winter. when snow and cold and ice put
their seals upon the coast, they still lived
on. waiting for the summer, which after
many months would come again. In the
cellar they buried few potatoes; some
kits of sailed fish were stored away;
great piles of driftwOod were stacked
against the cabin. Then they waited for
the summer again..
la one of these cabins woman waited'
who had waited YEARLY through many
summer and winter; and she had diff
fered from the others who had waited, in
this: that she never cared whether they
came Most of those who waited did
care: in a dull, apathetic way, life was
dear to them, but it was not so to this
woman.
Long years ago, so long that the dozen
brief summers and the dozen long, cold,
dreary winters seemed dozens and dozens
to her, this woman had been young and
Joyous. and in a certain wild, coarse way,
she had some claim to beauty, and she
had been strong of mind, of will. and of
body. Her 1.-THE, brown arms could hand
lie an oar as well as many men. Her
firm. brown hands could hold the tiller
or the sheet of the dory.
She had had lovers, too. For they
even made love, aud played all the parts
of the drama of life, upon the bleak
coast But she had played fast and loose
with them until they had grown tired,
one by one, and gone away. or married
other girls aud settled down to the dull
routine life in which was neither beauty
nor gentleness nor romance. Jane SOM
ers had not envied them. She was not
even Jealous of the wigs of these men. !

THE PRAIRIE FARMER.
By EUGENE BARRY.

BY EUGENE BARRY.
I've lived here now for thirty years, and, stran-
ger. I'll be bound
There's not better farm in all this western
But somehow at this time of year, like fever in
the blood,
restless feeling DER steals that's hard to be
withstood.
l cannot work, cannot rest, but far away would
roam,
For now the orchards are in bloom in my New
England home.
I've prospered WE'LL these level fields as far as
YOU can see,
They are all bought and paid for, and they all
belong TO me.
Inever could have done so well at home, you
may be sure;
| often smile to think upon those farms so thin
and poor;
But as sit behind my team and plough the deep
see the apple-trees in bloom round my New
England home
Straight east / draw my burrows wide to meet
Then turn and drive straight westward, and so
till DAY is done;
And then in autumn'S glorious time, when days
are calm and bright
Miles upon miles of rlpen1ng grain wave III the
golden light.
But when at night l seek my bed, in visions
The hills OF old New England around my child
hoods home.
My boys are grown to stalwart men, my girls are
Riir to see,
They're proud of this free western land, and
wonder much at me;
But they have never stood upon the mountains
summit grand
Nor seen Old Oceans crested waves break foam
ing on the strand
Nor ever known the sweet delight in forest wilds
to roam,
Nor seen the apple-trees in bloom round my New
England home.
The swallow seeks the grove where first it saw
the SUMS bright CLEAN,
The salmon leaps the torrents fall to reach its
native stream,
a thousand Leagues the wild goose lies on TIRE
less wing o'erhead,
Straight as an arrow to the bleak, bare North
where it was bred;
So in the spring my faithful heart, holding all
else in scorn,
Turns back to old New England and the home
where was born.
Though here I've cast my lot for life and here
must remain
Till death shall plough me under like stubble on
the plain.
Make not my grave in this strange land, but place
me if you will
Within my fathers burial lot, upon the wind
swept hill,
Where may watch the mountains glow and the
ocean break in foam
And see in spring the orchards bloom round my
New England home.

THE BQBOLiNK'S SONG.
For THE BELLOWS FALLS TINES.

FORTH BELLOWS FALLS TIMES.
was weary of life,
or its discord and strige,-
My skies We're all leaden, the world had gone
When down in the meadow,
In sunshine and shadow,
heard as grumbled, the bobolinks song;
"Be CHEEKY, be CHEEKY,
Though skies may be dreary,
And take to your heart the glad lesson teach,
Away with all sorrow,
Take heart for the morrow,
The worlds full of gladness, whatever men
preach"
''Now cease your gay chatter"
Said !, ''What's the matter:
You think Pm dyspeptic, inclined to be blue!
Now what do you know, sir,
Ofgrief, or of woe, sir,
Aloft in the sunshine or down in the dew?"
He scofled me and jeered me;
He Knocked me and Chcered me;
He cooked his small head, as he eyed me askancc,
Then louted my troubles,
And said they were bubbles;
And then, as climax, he asked me to dance.
How the waltz music poured,
As upward he scared!
1t thrilled through my veins like draught of
new wine.
j scarce could keep pace
With his musical race,
But can assure you the fault was not mine.
He filed me with laughter.
Then what followed after?
Why. thanks to this gay little herald of june
My troubles had vanished,
NV sorrow was banished;
The discord had ceased and the world was in
tune.
o happy sOuld rover,
Atiit on the clover!
My thanks for your song, and the lesson you
teach.
I'll part with my sorrow,
Take heart for the morrow
The worlds full of gladness, whatever men
preach
