THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.
BY BENJAMIN F. TAYLOR

Of wonderful stream is the River Time,
As it runs through the realm of tears,
With faultless rhythm and "a musical rhyme
And broader sweep and surge sublime,
As it blends in the ocean of years.
snow,
And the summers like birds between,
And the years in the sheaf, how they come
and they go
On the rivers breast with it's ebb and its flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheenl
There's a magical isle up the River Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing,
There's coudless sky and tropical Cline
And song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name of the isle is the ''Long Ago"
And we bury our treasure there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of
snow,
There are heaps of dust-ohl we loved them
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
II sings,
elere are parts of an infants prayer,
kheres lutte unswept and harp without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of rings.
And the garments our loved used to wear
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through the turbu-
lent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before.
When the wind down the river was fair.
OF remembered for aye be that blessed isle.
All the day of our life until night
And when evening glows with it's beautiful
smile
And our eyes are closing in slumbers awhile,
May the greenwood of soul be in sight

Storing Potatoes.

There is difference between pota-
toes and other root in the matter of
storage; they will bear piling in the
cellar deeper, and may be carried to
the cellar or pit for storage safely in
hot weather. 1t is just as well to un-
derstand this, because it saves the la
bor of handling them twice to cart
them as fast as dug directly to the
cellar or pit. They will "sweat" a
little after piling them in the cellar;
that is, the moisture from the warm
tubers in the middle of the pile will
condense little on the cooler roots
attheFurface. but this will do no harm
to the pile, and if they are well aired
at night to cool them off, shutting
them up by day. Light is a serious
injury to keeping potatoes; they
should be picked up after digging as
soon as dry, and carted directly to a
dark place for storage; if there is not
room in the cellar. pit in the open
field in q dry place will keep them just
as well; cover them at first with straw
then with little earth; afterwards,
as cold weather comes on, increase
the covering so as to keep out frost.
If dumped from the baskets into bags
or bushel boxes in the field, they can
be conveniently unloaded and piled
without shoveling or handling, and
thus bruising of the tubers avoided.

EIRII FOR SlLE .

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, | have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav-
ing neither time nor ability to car
ry it on properly, will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as a floor 1t was
in a fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
ceilent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morrlstown, where taxes are
comparatively low The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc.,
all of which are within "a to u
mile of the farm. The place Is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
