A VOICE FROM THE NIGHT.
o heron, from the lonely shore
Increasingly thy cry, &
Unfolding, dismal, harah,
Arises through the mist Of night
n-Nt gathers deep and cold and white
Upon the silent marsh,
Dim, drifting shroude that folded lie
Around my door.
What shadow OF the futures needs
Dismays thy simple heart,
Poor dweller in the fog7
What evil spirit Of unrest
Disturbs the quiet OF thy nest
Beyond the tussocked bog7
Do demons even ply their art
Among the reeds2
Perhaps thy brlght-eyed mate is led
Across the winding creek,
Belated, tired Of wing.
Then grieve not Soon thy loving note
As beacon's blaze to storm-tossed boat
The wanderer will bring.
o heron, can the words 1 speak
Recall the dead2
y heron on the lonely shore,
The east is gray above;
Thy watch is we'll nigh done,
And gentle dawn will bring thee sleep,
While my endless vigil keep,
Jnwelcoming the sun;
For she, my light, my life, my love,
VIII come no more.
H. Prescott Beach, in Lippincott.

Creameries scattered over many
parts of the East are making consider
able change in the conditions of farm
ing, che Chicago Herald takes note.
The dairy is becoming more and more
important, and poor farms are en-
riched by the presence of many cattle.
The creameries buy milk by the hun
dred pounds and farmers like the
simplicity OF this wholesale trade.
Meanwhile there is constant interest
in creamery prices and local news
papers publish quotations from time

Certain tables of longevity just pub
lished in England by Professor
Humphreys leave the whole matter
pretty much in the dark. or the 824
cases in which the subjects have
reached ages varying from eighty TO
over hundred years, one.third were
small eaters, and only one-tenth ap-
pear to have had robust appetites.
Physicians, as a class, were found to
fall below the average age. The usual
directions for prolonging life by diet,
sleep and exercise are not strikingly
confirmed by those tables, maintains
the New York Tribune.

| notable example Of a bic !,

A notable example of a big result
produced by small means is found in
the fact that lead pencil users have
Whitfield away several big forests Of
cedar trees in Europe, and the supply
of wood suitable for lead pencils is
practically exhausted in The Old
World. An order has just been placed
by a noted German firm Of. pencil
makers with California lumber com
pany for large quantity of sequoia
wood, which isfound to be the best
wood now available for pencils. The
sequoia is the big tree of California.
1t seems too bad to the New York
Sun that the grand old giants should
be sacrificed, and especially that their
end should be lead pencil ahavings.

When will the time come when
" Uncle Toms Cabin will loose its
charm TO the rising generation? Jud
ging by It's present freshness, its al
Turing powers will be perennial. There
is something in the sklllful combina-
tion of the pathetic and the numerous
that never fails to fascinate, and the
story that it tells of the suffering of
the poor slaves appeals directly to the
finest sensibilities of the human soul.
Such plays are better than sermons.
They point moral and adorn a tale.
They teach us lessons in thoughtful
ness and charity. They impress on
our minds the precepts Of the golden
rule Mrs. Stoves book is one Of the
greatest books of literature, because it
deals with questions of immeasureable
human import, and the play itself is
one Of those simple master pieces that
can never die. If it does no more
than to keep alive the memory of the
rise and fall of one of the greatest in
iquities that history deals with, it was
not written in vain.

sal Uncle Toms Cabin Company will
