What though the landscape bright about me
lies?
What though the sun its golden nectar
spills?
What though the crow in sombre beauty
flies
Into the purple glory of the hills?
My old anatomy has got the chills;

And that is why my tears bedew the printed

My wattles soon will light the old ash-heap
Ny pinions soon will make kitchen brush.
A subtle sadness sets me all a-creep.
Here in the bosom of the twilight hush

Laugh at the feast in most exultant tone,
While with young Thngumbobs she snaps
my frail wish-bone.

Goodby, my wives and progeny, goodby!
Soon shall lightly swing on yonder door.
Announcing that Thanksgiving day is nigh.
The cranberries are plucked, the pumpkin

Blooms like a full-blown tiger lily-bell;
Alas alack. alas, alack, alas, farewell!

There Is no reason why the kitchen
may not be one Of the peasantest rooms
in the house, if properly cared for. The
IIullanders excel us in this respect Their
kitchens are marvels of neatncss. The
floor is paved with stone, marble, or
granite, aud is perfectly clean. The
walls are covered with snOw-white tiling,
which shines like lamp retlectors. The
ceiling is hard wood, painted and var
nished, and it is as lustrous in its way
as the walls. The stove is generally in a
recess. Lace or Snow-white linen is hung
from this alcove. Imagine it-a kitchen
stove behind lace or linen lambrequns!
The kitchen utensils are in pantries which
also have hangings of neat stuff Of differ
ent kinds; the sinks, faucets, in fact all
the metal work that is visible is so pol
ishcd that it glows like FURNISHED steel.
Such habits naturally produce thrift A
lady told me shepaid her cook ten florins
dive dollars month, and out of this pit
tance she had managed to save enough
to accumulate neat little nest-egg at a
bank to prepare wed ling outfit.
