OF fat-forming principles than has the green
Kentucky blue grass. Upon this We must
conclude that our fescue is in every way
more valuable than Kentucky blue grass.
We have al hand no table of analysis made
on Texas Blue grass, but doubtless it would
give just about the same showing Us Ken

Speaking of the Kentucky blue grass
Professor killebrew says sit is the king of
all pasture grasses on soils where it can be
grown. Whoever has blue grass has the
basis for all agricultural prosperity: and
that man, if he has not the finest horses,
cattle and sheep, has no one to blame but
himself. Others in other circumstances
may do well-he cannot help doing well if
he will simply try"
Verify then, as you must see. our fescue
grass, the which IS in every way superior
10 Kentucky blue grass, ought TO be
looked upon as entirely worthy of en-
enlargement. In some portions OF the
country it has been regularly cultivated
both as hay and pasture grass. Seed
for its propagation is often to be found on
the market. II is very light, the standard
weight of fescue grass seed being only ten
pounds to the bushel
Within the past week we have had sew
eral letters inclosing specimens of this
same grass for identification. All persons
who have sent such letters and do not find

may take it for granted that the grass sent

Into the dying eyes, as she turned them

arms toward her in invitation of an en-

Rebecca fell on her knees beside the
wretched bed with cry in which, for the
moment, sorrow seemed to have been
swallowed up in Joy. To have been the
witness of what followed would have been
a sacriege, and left them together.
1t may have been their first and last ca

morning it had but one living tenant. The
dead girl lay on the bed with her hands

Then Rebecca broke out and exhibited
quite an unexpected command Of lam

the desirabilIty of minding her own bust

human sympathy are, it is my experience,
more welcome to the mother that is about

Comfort and meet again, ," she echoed,
with a sort of contemptuous despair and,
shaking her head, like one with the palsy,
re-entered the sick room.

becca alone was known to their fellow

ployment, which was not often; but Re-
becca was the breadwinner. She toiled
word of complaint from her. As general
rule it is not the hard workers who COM

TO be that, but there is often certrin grim
reticenee about them, a not unjustitiable
resentment This was not the case with
Rebecca, however. She had her reasons,

for its own sake. Work preserves us from
thinking. She was quiet in her ways and

In particular that though Rebecca lavished
every term of endearment upon her sister
she never addressed her by her Christian

Rebecca, on her side, was equally silent
dumb as the dog who, treated with in
difference by some morose master, still
waits on and watches him with patient de-
votion; but it was easy to see how she
longed for kind word or even loving
glance, and longed in vain. At last, when
the end was very near, could forbear no
longer; it was clergyman's business, per-
