FARM AND HOME.
THE HARVEST MOON
AL THE YEAR ROUND.

Faded the last faint blush of evenings rose
And The shadows gather in the sleeping
vSle
Where silent now. the ripping streamlet
flows
Beneath the mist, that, rising dim and pale.
Hovers over it like silver veil
Hiding the tears upon the closed up flowers,
That seem to weep for the days vanished
hours.
Across the heaven mellow radiance steals,
The mist grows brighter, and the silver
stream
Reflects the tender ligh, which half reveals
Earth loneliness, and like an infant dream,
Makes all things beautiful and holy seem:
The harvest moon along the autumn sky
Holds her fair sway and bids the darkness
fly.
Ger fallen leaves, o er hill and vale and PLAIN,
Ger ripered fruits and fields of golden grain;
Ger lovers lingering in the mystic light,
" hispering fond words beneath the silent
night;
Ger the great city in lis solemn rest,
Ger wealth and poverty, the worst, the best;
Her luSter falls and through the listening ar
Breathes but of peace and beauty everywhere,
Serene and pure she mounts the azure heaven,
Telling the wondrous love her God to has
given.

Pure Breed FOW Is.

There are no fowls that show to better
advantage on the farm than the Plymouth
Rock, and they have won deservedly high
place both as layers and for the table.
They are large, handsome and clean look
ing, and this fact alone is worth all it will
cost to procure flock of them in place Of
the common mixed barry AID foch. Their
care and feeding will cost no more than
the others, and they are sure to give a
better return. 1t is little strange that a
farmer will take the pains and go to large
expense in order have good horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, and yet will be content
with flock Of mongTel fowls when it is SO
easy to have good ones. The farmer should
not attemp. to be poultry fancier, but It
is only good farming to keep one pure
breed for practical purposes.

Protecting Apple Trees.

There are several ways of protecting
the stems of apple trees from the depre-
dations of rabbits, but perhaps the cheap
est and most effectnal is to wrap them
with sheets of common tar paper such as
are commonly used in lining the walls of
buildings, roofs, etc. This will last about
two years, but it should be removed n
spring, because if left on during the sum-
mer it might injure the bark of the trees.
But plain building paper brown wrapping
paper or thin muslin will answer the pur-
pose for the rabbits will not attempt to
bite through these in order to get to the
bark. Whatever material is used, it
should be applied before snow falls or cold
weather sets in.

it IN d, ,zzl;ng colors
Co.'s crumbs are bigger and better than
the devils loaves.
The devil with the preachers coat on is
none the less devil.
If the devil can get your feet he don
care what you do with your head.
The devil has no better helper any
where than the man with fauIt-fnding
spirit.
The devil don't care two staws for your

who thinks more of money than he does of
salvation.
The devil is always ready to walk arm

All the power the devil has is to make
men believe lie, but the moment they
believe wrong they will behave wrong.

"Here 1 Am"

A lawyer had a cage hanging on the
wall in his Office, in which was starting.
He had taught the little fellow to answer
when he called it. A boy named Charlie
came in one morning. The lawyer left
the boy there while he went out for few
minutes. When he returned the bird was
gone. He asked, where is my bird?"
Charlie replied that he did not know any
thing about it. But, said he, Charlie,
that bird was in che cage when | went
out. Now tell me all about it; where is
it?" Charlie declared that he knew moth
ing about it; that the cage door was open,
and he e lessed that the bird had flown
out The lawyer called out, Startling,
where are you?' The bird spoke right
out of the boys pocket, and said just as
plain as it could, Here ami All, what
a fix that boy was in! He had stolen the
bird, had hid it as he supposed, in safe
place, and had told two lies to conceal his
guilt, and now came voice from his OWE
pocket which told the story of his guilt.
1t was testimony that all the world
would believe. The boy had nothing to
say. The bird was living witness that
the boy was a thief and liar
We have not all Of us a starting but we
have q conscience-not in our pocket, but
in a more secure place-in our soul; and

The Voices of Earth.
ARCHIBALD LAMPMAN

We have not heard the music of the spheres
Ihe song OF s.ar 10 star; but there are
sounds
More deep than human Joy or human tears,
That nature uses in her common rounds:
The fau of streams, the cry of winds that
strain
Tue oak, the roaring of the seas surge,
might
Or thunder breaking afar of, or rain
~ mat tails by minutes in the summer night,
These are The voices of earth's secret souf
Ctterng the mystery from which she came:
To him who hears them grief beyond control
Or JOY inscrutabe without name
Wakes in his heart thoughts buried there, i'm

Advice Of An Old Shepherd.

hours a day next spring in fussing with

to himself. fifty lambs where the ram
turned into the flock ought not to be al
