Nh Garden.

Last year my little garden-plot
Was barren as a desert waste;
Peas,and potatoes had not,
Nor did l melting melons taste
The earth-born plants, that skyward gazed,
Were bIighted in an evil hour;
And 1 with grief was nearly crazed,
Viewing my ruined caulifiower.
The fraiI flowers oped their pale blue eyes,
Which soon, a1asI were closed in death!
1t seemed that lightning from the skies
Blasted the blossoms in a breath.
This year, indeed, my frenzied eye
Shall gaze upon no banefu1 blight;
The garden my neat cottage by
Will be, 1 ween, splendid sight.
sly plot ne marplot plague shall mar,
My squashes, turnips, beets and peas
Will make my garden fairer far
Than that of the Hesperides.
My flowers, the men may deem it strange,
Shall rival those of elfin glens;
why wilf there be this wondrous change?
Hp merit door neighbor's killed his hens!
Exchange.

1t has been recently stated that con-
versation is lost art. Certainly the
listener appears to be out of date.
Persons who have regard for the usag-
es of polite society should remember
that listening is one of the canons of
good manners. Absent mindedness
is impolite. Everyone is entitled to a
fair share of attention paid him when
conversing. If one is bored, courtesy
demand he should still listen, and APP
pear to appreciate the story that is
related on the subject under discus
sion. A writer on social etiquette
once remarked that "nine times out
ten the attentive listener is more ad
mired than the most brilliant talker."
Avoid in conversation all mention of
your own affairs. The clever woman
guards her hearthstone, it's sorrows,
troubles and anncyances, as carefully
as she does the sacredness of her re-
ligion. The world admires your cheer
fulness, your attractiveness, your
brightness. Your griefs belong to
yourself. They are your inner life,
which should be closed with iron por
tails. Even if your heart break, recol-
lect the critical public at all times
likes a smiling face and cheerful man
ner.

A bright story of Irish wit is relat-

visited were the "Devirs Gap' and
the "Devips Bowl. ""What an amount

Nobody spoke for two minutes.

And the sailor said solemnly:

When those words fell upon my

and some one came screaming up the
hall. 1t was Bridget.
ssMissus-it's missus. She's found!"
she cried. "And baby too! oh, Lord!
Oh, saints above! She's found!"
The horrible picture of the dripping
marble lovliness they must be bearing

ooh, my darling Rob, what fright
you have had, and what sad, sad
thing to happen to poor Tom! Oh, my

She was in my arms again, and we
were weeping together.

And then she stopped and could

LONG LIFE and HEALTH.

The New York Recorder had an in
teresting article recently, on a re-
markable woman who at seventy was
able to climb tree a we'll as any boy,
and who could camp out at night in
any weather with as little fear from
exposure as any man. This was the
result of life lived largely out of
doors, simple and healthful life that
contained no self Indulgence. There
is no mistake about it, eve cannot
have our cake and eat it.'' If we
dance, we must play the fiddler. 1t
is simply question of which is most
worth our while to do. If we prefer
to have good time. to-day regardless
of to morrow, well and good; it is our
own lookout. If we think that long
lifesa clear brain, land preserved youth
will pay us for little trouble and
self denial now, then let us take this
trouble and go to work about it with
..ystem and with regularity, keeping
up our efforts year in and year out,
until they become second nature, and
we learn to enjoy those things which
conduce to health as much as we now
enjoy the satisfaction of morbid ap-
petites and of lazy self-indulgence.
1t is astonishing how much we can do
with ourselves if we try, and how
much we can conquer Of weakness
and of disease if we only determine
to do it and set about it in the right
way. Every man might be his own
best doctor; and we hope as the world
progresses, he will find this out by
personal effort and experience.

The advice which Robert Burdette
gives to boys may well be taken, not
only by them, but by older persons
ssGet away from the crowd,o he says,
ssfor little while every day and
think Stand on one side and let the
world run by, while you get acquaint-
ed with yourself, and see what kind
of fellow you are. Ask yourself
hard questions about yourself, find
out all you can about yourself. As
certain, from original sources, if you
are really the manner of man you say
you are; and if you are always hon
est; if you always tell the square,
perfect truth in business deals; if
your life is as good and upright at II
O'Clock at night as it is at noon; if
you are as good temperance man on
fishing excursion as you are at a
Sunday school picnic; if you are as
good when you go out of the city as
you are at home; if, in short, you are
really the sort of man your father
hopes you are and your sweetheart
believes you are. Get on intimate
terms with yourself, my boy, and be-
lieve me, every time you come out
from one Of these private interviews,
you will be stronger, better, purer
man. Don't forget this, and it will do
you good"

Looking over the field of the me-

ed discoverer, finding out hitherto
unknown means of directing force or
combining forces to bring about new
result The work done-the product
is new; the energy doing it, is old;
in the realm of business enterprise, of
all those activities, included under the
pursuit of the arts, in the unselfish
devotion to the development of sci
ence, the successful man is not he
who fagellates beaten straw without
deviation Or let-up; nor can he afford
vainly to indulge the hope of creating
new energy. The best he can hope to
do is to be wise CONSERVATION of his
own energies as he knows them; he
must husband them, direct them;
wisely, prudently. If he does that he
will be an inventor of new things
somewhere and somehow. 1t is a mat
ter of directing old forces into other
channels, though the forces may be
scant to discouraging degree.
