What e'er viii distress hun when pay day is
nigh.
Hurrah for that man, though his ways he
neglect
He has our profoundest sincerest respect;
To HIM, be he ever friend or foe,
Unchecked admiration we all have to show;
And well he deserves IL. He teaches the way
OF boldly ignoring what people may say
Or think in a way which concerns
The one, who, for reasons, extravaganza
spurns
We honor him truly, though seedy his clothes,
We love him, though little Of fashion he shows,
We trust him unquestioned, though poorer
than clay,
And isn't he happyi Just look in his face
OF care or Of worry there isn't trace,
His conscience is clear, all the riches on earth
Can't give him the Joy that right doing Is
worth,
No statesman, no ruler, no great soldier brave
Is prouder than he who is nobody's slave.
] can't afford it, all praise TO the man
Who fearlessly says it and lives on the plan.

you can do. There are only eleven
cows and two hired men, so the work
will not be unreasonably hard
He waited for his niece to speak, but
she kept silent, and he began to feel a
little uneasy as he continued the con-
versation. He had always found Luana
Ormsby very hard to understand.
"Your father couldn't have chosen a
worse time to die; he left things in very
bad shape, with that Millbury lot under
heavy mortgage, and every thing at
skies and sevens The lot will have to
go back, of course, and you couldn't

Luana turned slowly and looked at
her uncle.
''You are very good, uncle. She said,
s'to take so much interest in mother and

"Of counsel You'll be doing that II

left feeling that he had done all that

"But what can / do with INV mother?n

"But what can do with my motherY'
interrupted Luana.
Couldn't Retta stay with her? She's
too young to do much, but she'd be
willing to wait on Mrs. Ormsby."
'All right; I'll go as soon as can get
ready" answered Luana. and the worthy
deacon gave vent to sigh Of relief as
he trudged out the door.
''Pm nearly dizzy with delight, moth
erI" exclaimed Luana, as she hurriedly
changed her dress, ''for now think
see my way clear to set up in graft

Before Mrs. Plumb recovered from her
bad spell there came a rainy day.
az meant to have set some scions in
those natural fruit trees by the lane,
If it hadn't rained to-day" said the
deacon as he watched Luana make
dried apple pie.
"Do you know how to grait?" asked
Luana.
why yes, child. I've grated great
many orchards in my day. My hands
are little clumsy now, but I can beat
good many younger men yet, if do say
1t myself.
Then Luana told how she longed to
go into the nursery business. and asked
If he would teach her as payment for
the work she was doing for him.
NO." said he, Indignantly, II won't;
but I'll teach you for nothing" And
then he began to make plans for her,
and became almost as excited as boy.
1.-THE best way is to graft them in the
root, Luana," he said. "I've several
big apple trees that are in my way
when draw hay to the barn, and I'm
going to dig them out You may have
all the roots"
"But the wax and things, don't they
cost awfully?"
mot very much. I'll make little
calculation for you when I'm making
mine"
Before Luana began her summer
school she had one thousand scions set
and the stocks planted in neat rows in
ground which Deacon Plumb had pre-
pared for her in part payment for her
work.
THAT will do for q beginning" said
