Await the sweet and lovely time to sing.
I have listened for your footsteps as the
meadows
Low-lsten for the dewfall in the night;
As the parched plains droop and dream to-
ward the shadows
As the leaves in darkness listen for the
light.
There is never any rose without the kisses
Of the. spring upon its leaves of red and
white:
There is never any meadow if it misses
The dewfall on its bosom in the night
There is never any robins breast that,
cleaning,
Shall feel the thrill and 1utter of wing,
And set the world to loving and to dreaming,
If there never comes a sunny time to sing
Let the dew the meadows violet dscover'
Let The robin sing his sweetest to the close!
There is never any love without lover
You are coming, and the world blooms
like rose.

Mississippi Cocoanuts.

The people OF Mississippi have
never attempted to raise cocoanuts
in their state. The hogs down there
have, however, and they have sue
ceeded IN producing cocoanut
that in many particulars is similar
to the genuine tropical fruit. i
Mississippi cocoanut needs only'to
be seen To arouse the wonder and
merriment OF the spectator. The
hogs run at large N tha. State, and
are chiefly Of the North CaroIInIan
family, The chief virtue Of which is
their ability to run faster than )
negro. Their tails would indicate
"A cross between hog and cow, and
It is upon these tails that The Mis-
sissippi cocoanuts grow. The hog
beng left to root for himself, and
retQlning the traditional swiniSt.
appetite, has cultivated a habit 81
industry that keeps him constantly
on the move. Every hog has tan.
and thereby hangs Il coUoanut. Ii
wandering through the swamps the
young hog soon finds his edudai
appendage encumbered with a small
bail Of mud, the cohesiveness and
adhesiyeneSs of which proves bur
densome and provoking AS the,
hog grows older the cocoan0fgrows
larger. The mud dries quickly, and
