HAD NO KICK COMING.

Long was his hair, his raiment ragged,
torn, :
His beard unkempt; his shoes were rough
and worn;
Dusty was he and dirty and folorn.
AS through, the village street he slowly
Full many looks unkind were on him cast,
Until he gladly sought the fields at last,
And laid him down beneath the waving
And barred his brow unto the cooling
breeze, -
And thanked old Mother Earth for rest and
ease, s@.ns... =.
And, lying there with sullen, upturn'd
Reviewing all the features of his case,
He turned and groaned, and cursed the hu-
man race.
No loving friends in all the earth had he,
Nojoys, no hopes nor pleasures yet to be
helpless wreck cast upward by the seal
And yet he felt no kick from him was due
His life, though brief, had held more fun
than two
Lifetimes of ordinary people do.

A Fortified Forest.

Arizona is a country of natural
wonders, and of artificial ones too, for
the remains of aqueducts and stone
dwellings Indicate that a prosperous
people once lived on lands that are
now desert. A recent traveller has
described what he calls "a petrifed
forest, which covers hundreds of
square miles," In walking about, he
says, "the visitor is ankle deep in
such chips as never come from any
other wood-pits, chips from trees that
are red moss-agate, and amethyst,
and smoky topaz, and agate of every
hue. Such are the marvellous splinters
that cover the ground for miles here
around the huge PROSTATE Trunks,
some of them five feet through.
II BROKE" he says, "a specimen
from the heart of tree which had
around the stone pith a remarkable
array of large and exquisite crystals.
On one side OF the specimen-which is
not so large as my hand-is beauti-
ful mass OF crystals of purple anne
thyst, and on the other an equally
beautiful array of smoky topaz. One
can get also magnificent cross sections
OF q whole trunk, SO thin as to be
portable. and showing every vein and
even the bark. There is not a chip in
all those miles which is not worthy a
place, just as it is, in the proudest
cabinet, and when polished I know no
other rock SO splendid. This petrifed
agate is one OF the hardest stones in
the world, and takes and keeps an in
comparable polish"

pecially to the southwark, before the
melancholy days are come ofreai
autumnal cold. And so it is timely
still to say word on the summer
feeding OF sheep and lambs.
1t is the custom of some of the most
experienced fockmasters to give thei1
sheep q very limited ration of fnel
sweet hay during the period of warm
weather. A few of them give lambs
and choice rams adaily allowance Of
mixed grains, generally oats and
wheat bran in about equal proper
ton. No one who has his wits about
him, however, feeds corn in summer.
for it is altogether too heating for hot
weather.
It is claimed for this dry feeding in
summer that it acts as g. corrective
OF acidity and fatulence, AS a proven,
tive of collie and scours, and in fact
as q general tonic to the system. Such
q tonic is especially, desirable when;
the weather is unusually wet and the
grass slushy. r.,

Harold Cameron left her presence
feeling like a whipped cur.
"Ha! I was q little premature-that
was ALL" he told himself. ..
Ella ran to her husbands bedside,
and, sobbing, buried her face in the
pillows.

Spurred on by friends, Cameron sent
up his card one day to Mrs. Moran.

"Mrs. Moran thinks there is g. mis-

Cameron then took the hint and de-
parted, calm outwardly, though there
was rage in his heart. And to the sur

Moran remained widow.

Who Named the Flowers.

Who named the flowers? Eve, per-
haps after Adam had named the crea-
lures. I think, dear ladies, that Eve
must have named the flowers, because
her daughters are so fond of them.
They were named before the time of
Solomon, as we know. But how comes
it that so many flowers have the
same fancy names in more than one
language? ..... ..,..-', =
Thus, to take some of our common
wild flowers: Quinsywort is in
French, herbe g. Pesquinance; clematis
is called by our country folks beggar's
weed, in French it is herbe aux queux:
mignonette-little darling -is herbe
glamour; scurvy grass, also spoon
grass, is herbe aux cilleres; herbe Paris
is herbe a Paris; money wort is herbe
aux ecus. How did these names come
to be alike in both language? On the
other hand, some of the French
names are not in the leae like our
own. Black briony, for instance, is
herbe aux femmes battues; centaurv
is berbe aux mile forms; adder's
tongue is herbe aux mile miracles:
goosefoot is herbe du bon Henri, and
willow herbe is herbe Saint Antonio.

WHAT THEY OWE TO AMERICA,

federation and Freedom Among the
Thlngs' for Which England Is
Thankful.
The discovery OF America is one OF
those very few really big events which
occur in the history of man. What
have we got from America? asks
Walter Besant in the London
Queen. Tobacco and potatoes. Any
thing else? AS yet not much, I be-
lieve. What did we do with our big
discovery? First, I'VE converted it in
to g. most magnificent battlefield for
the nations-English, French, Span
ish. Then we gave up South America
to the spaniard and took North
America for ourselves. This took
an extraordinary amount of fighting.
Then we carefully created nation on
the other side which should be
brought up to hate us for no harm
that we had ever done them, except
to free their country from the French.
Then all the countries in Europe be-
gan to shoot into this country
cargoes of independent and rest
less spirits. There they all are
English, Scotch, Irish, Scandina-
vians, Teutons, Italians, Spaniards.
Firms, Russians-pitchforked togeth-
er, told to talk English, and left to
amalgamate as best they can. It will
be amusing for a hundred years and
more to watch this mingling of the
races, and to see what will be the out
come. Next, America offers us every
possible opportunity OF considering
the advantages and the disadvantages
of the republican form of government.
There are dozens of republics, from
the great and stable United States
down to most miserably degraded and
corrupt republic of South America.
Further, we have witnessed in Ameri-
ca the destruction of certainly two
very rem arkable forms of civilization;
these should have been preserved, at
least, until they had been properly in
vestigated and placed on record. We
have also witnessed the introduction
OF the negro race, who threaten to
multiply and increase. And when
we acknowledge that North America is
the home of federation and of free
dom, we have, perhaps, recognized the
most important things that we owe
to Christoph 81 Columbus and his dis.
COvery.

Some Interesting Cows,

Among the anecdotes of animals
OF all sorts and conditions hardly
any mention is ever made of COWS.
They certainly are not very demon
strativc. But occasionally some pri-
vate and retiring COW, unknown to
fame, is heard OF in quite a distin-
guished way, and a Scotch lady has
just given the writer an account of
one she knew at home.
In the field adjoining the one where
this COW roamed by day quiet,
cart-horse was often turned out to
Craze; and although he apparently
looked neither to the right nor the
left, but seemed bent only on improv-
ing to the utmost his opportunities
ut grass, the COW found something
very attractive in his appearance
and ways, and followed him about as
closely as she could. Sometimes she
succeeded in getting into his domain,
and then her happiness was quite
complete. She sided up to her
strange friend and seemed almost to

he bore with exemplary patience. But
there was no romance in his compost
ton, and it never occurred to
him that the cows devotion was at
all touching.
The people around the place no
ticed this little comedy, and became
quite interested in it, even taking
down a portion OF the fence between
the fields that the COW might visit the
object of her attachment as often as
she pleased. She decided to take up
her quarters permanently beside him:
and when the lady left the farm where
the animals were kept, the horse had
his oats and the cow her hay as near
together as possible. But the COW
did it all; and while she often stopped
chewing her beloved cud to raise soft
brown affectionate eyes to the adored
creature beside her, the horse went on
munching as stoically as if she had
not been there.
