too. if Jacob had known that And
more yet along the lonely ways
where were only scattered farmhouses
o- homes of plain worlfmen, she was
smiling, and whispering the whole
story cut 70 the soft, wooing sunshine,
laughing alond as the tall golden rods
brushed her very checks with kiss;
and sometimes looking off to the fair
valleys and distant hillsides, all in
their glory of russet and gold, with
eyes too dim with a glad mist of tears
to see but dimly their beauty.
For the story went back so far, to
the days when she played alone, the
only child in the farm house on the hill
side, and, longing for companionship,
peopled the wide, low rooms with 9TH
er children with curly hair, such as
she longed for, and torn clothing to
mend. and sick turns to be nursed out
from. They should be younger than
herself so that she could do for them.
They should 90 away and be educated
while she would stay at home and
churn, and weave straw hats and pick
fruit, and save and do it all for them
the little children who never came to
the hoTce, but who lived with Onner
day and night
She had done the work, surely Look
at the strong hand in its cotton glove

For twelve years she had them all
Then Aunt Hitty seemed to find even
living too great an effort and gave It
up. The father grew bent with
rheumatism, worried over the affairs
of the farm, and expected Onner to be
both son and daughter to him.
"If you'd only been a boy, now," he
would say sometimes; and onner
laughing would assure him she was
almost one" and she would go out
and rake hay or milk cows, or see how
the men were getting on ditchihg.
Seven years more and she was left
alone with the blind, feeble grand
mother, whose quavering voice called
SO very often: Conner, are you there?"
Are you sure, onner?"-until one
night, or rather early dawn of the
summer morning, Onner, waking, as
one does who has missed some.h ing,
went softly to the other bedside, and
found lips that had been sealed into
their long 9uiet and face Of peace.

GETTING UP IN THE MORNING.


When dark are the mornings and chilly wr,h'
out,
And Jack Frost Is nipplng whoever's about,
How truly delicious IL IS 10 repose
All snug IN the bed and there blissfully doza
In spite OF the knoclfngs and calls tha:it late
In spite OF the breakfast that for Us must wait
Regardless OF duty and careies- = ;---c,
We under the blankets Hud comfort sublime.
The longer we Iinger the harder # seems
To leave our warm nest with its half awake
dreams.
And oft as we try 20 be brave and arise
So often we fail and again close our eyes
More knocks on our door and fresh calls from
below.
you'll miss the train surely-it's late, don't
you know"
"All right, we are coming" we answer and then
Turn over TO peacefully slunber again
Once more re are called, and this time we are
hold,
And almost get up when a thought OF the coid
Just gives US a shudder and back in our nest
We snuggle and know how It feels to be blest
At last we must rise and with spasms Of dread
We slowly crawl out OF our soft, pleasant bed
And stand with bare feet on the ice-like foor
To shiver and wish that the winter was DER.
A douse Of cold water. heroic in size,
Compels US TO gasp and wide open our eyes:
rough towel rubbed briskly and then IN a
glow
We're ready to plunge in mountain OF snow.
We dress in jiffy. To breakfast we fly,
Good morning." We hear and good morning"
We cry,
And hot cakes and coffee we merriiy taste
Then rush for the train in undigniled haste.
But. bless Us. How fine Is the crisp. frosty air:
We thought it was cold, but it's warm every
where;
Why didn't we rise two good hours before
And in the bright morning find pleasure gslorei
Why didn't VIC do itY Because, suppose,
Twas nicer in bed to do nothing but doze,
And long as we're able wen stick TO that nest
And let those who have 10, get up and be blest.

"What?''
OF course il was soon arranged.
Their little goods were mostly sold al
ready. They could pack the few re-
manning while Miss Onner went on for
Lucy Whitton, and Jacob could come
the next day and carry their remain
ing possessions up the hill.
The poorhouse was near the village,
half mile distant; but, on her way,
Miss 0nner turned little aside to see
Tom Shannon's three little children.
The neighbor who had them in charge
was very talkative.
They'll have good homes in no
time" she said; they're so pretty and
bright. There's one or two spoken al
ready, but the minister's looking for
the best Christian folks to take them.
Their folks were that kind. you know.
OF course if they could all go together
'twould be nice, but they can't-'tisn't

Miss Onner looked ut the three
bright faces-there was the curly
hair too-then she kissed them all
and, turning away, climbed again
into her wagon, feeling very much as
if she had just closed the coffin lid over
some of her beloved.
But l hadn't any call-really. it
leads this way" she whispered to her
sore heart, and then. at the poorhouse
gate, forgot all in the great joy it was
hers to give.
The westering sun fell softly over
the plain wagon as it rolled slowly up
the hills home again Miss ouner sat
up straight and square driving, while,
on one side, Miss Lucy's pale face
grew brighter, and brighter. as she
went back to the scenes familiar to her
childhood; on the other, Auntie Silas
sat and exclaimed, and rcjoiced; and
on a trunk in the back the peaceful
look of the old man was n simple: God

was wise enough. after that tone, to
keep his lips closed so long as his mis-
tress' ears were within hearing

Early Fruit the Most Profitable.

With bat few exceptions, the winter
kinds of apples and pears are twice as
profitable as the early kinds, because
these must be forced on the market
while the keeping kinds may b. stored
for a long season Of sale. They are
lso in demand for the foreign markets
" hich have no use for the summer va
rieties. The winter kinds are also
more valuable for domestic use. as the
fruits do not come into competition
with the abundant vegetables and
small fruits of the earlier season
Thus few early varieties will supply
all the necessities of family, while
the winter kinds may be more literally
chosen. -Colman's Rural World
