What care las the DAYS 20 by
Whether gloomy or bright the sky:
What care what the weather may be?
Cold or warm-'tis the same to me.
For my dear home skies they are always blue
And my dear home weather uhe glad day,

And my feet walk ever In loves true light.
And why? Well, here is my baby sweet,
Following me round on his restless feet,
smiling on me thro' his soft blue ewes,
And gladdening and Frightening my indoor
skies.
And baby's father, with fond, true heart
ITO baby and me, homes better part
His face is sunshine, and we rejoice
In the music heard IN his loving voice.
So why should we heed-as the days go by
The gloom or the light OF the weather and sky
OF tue outside world, when we're busy all day
sunshine which fades not away

Common Sense About Farming.

tfiohl tle burlington news
In 1880 Vermont rejoiced in more
than a million sheep, Ola, 600. Ii
1860 the number had dropped Il
100, 600; in 1870 the number was onl,
440, 600; and in 1890 we had bu,
334, 600 sheep in all Vermont. All OF
which goes to show that Mai. Me
Kinley can neither make nor mar Yer
mont's sheep interest-.hat no tariff,
high, low, or between sizes, can help
il to any appreciable extent for in the
period named we have had tariffs of all
these descriptions and still our sheen
have been getting away from us.
The census figures Furthermore show
that the tariff hasn't helped Vermont
agriculture in other respects, or at least
that other things have hurt it much
more than the tariff has helped it.
Thus the total humber of farms is set
down as 3d. 522 in 1880 and only 81, 573
in 1890 total decrease of almost ex
actly, 1900. Three thousand farms
are good many 10 our little state
more than there are in any single
county in Vermont except Windsor.
The farm acreage has diminished cor
espondingly-from 4, $50. 600 acres to
395, 600, or nearly half million acres.
The estimated value of farm products
shrank to an equal eXtent-from 81,
So. 600 to 81, 3G5, 600 or nearly $500. 600.
All this shows that it is time Yer
do something themselves.
Other people can't help us as the fig
ures amply prove.

THE WORLD MADE NEW.

When spring, with maiden tenderness.
Steals shyly hither to caress.
To gladden. with her pretty mirth,
our happy, how'r bedizened earth;
My dear, my dear, what pageant days
VIII greet Us in the country ways
What Eden joys come back again
When haNthUrns wntten down the lane
The little wistful moon, my friend.
VIII Deep above the gable end
And see the hillside orchard white
VIII blossom all the ferrent night;
The cottage panes will glow at dusk,
The darkness gather, sweet with mask,
And weary kline, with tagging feet
Pass lowing down the village street.
And then, at day break, bark, oh, hush
Beneath the stars, the early thrush
RIPPING, while heaven glimmers gray,
His morning CAROL clear and gay
lie sang the selt.same song, you know
In paradise, long years ago,
And keeps, estranged from all regret,
His warm, brave heart, unyanquished yet.
For him, for US, the world is new
When daisied meadows CLEAN with dew;
All! not To us the times seem late
Who come but now TO love and mate!
Content TO deem II most wise
To watch life out with tranquil eyes,
To kiss warn, hips, and win thereby
little comfort ere we die.

Prayer lisa Reality.

In the mind Of God, We may be-
assured the conception Of prayer is ne
fiction, whatever man may think of it.
1t has, and God his determined that
that it should have, a positive and a
appreciate influence in directing the
course of human life. 1t il, and God
has purposed that it should be, link
of connection between human mind
and divine mind by which, through
his indefinite condescension, ve may ac
tually move his will. 1t is, and God
has decreed that il should be. a power
in the universe, as distinct, as real, as
natural as uniform, as the power of
grayitaton, of light, or Of electricity.
A man may use ii as trustinely and
as soberly as he would use either of
these. 1t is as truly the dictate Of
good sense that man should expect
to achieve something by telescope or
the mariners compass or the electric
telegraph. Austin Phelps.

reservoir not be deeTeti sufficient for
the necessary storage, a dyke a couple
of miles long and 10 feet high would
increase its capacity more than 25 per
cent. This dyke would have TO be run
along the northeast rim of the basin.
AS a pleasure resort, its value to this
city cannot be computed. With its i'm
mense body of water filled with fine
food fish, sportsmen would be attracted
from all sections OF the country to try
their skill at the anglers art. With
small steam yachts plying upon its
surface, and parks and gardens upon
its shores. who can tell OF the pleasures
in store? In case rot should propo-
gate as rapidly here as elsewhere in the
state, a close season would be altogeth-
er unnecessary, and winter and sum-
mer the fish supply for the Gem City
could be taken from this lake. In the
east many artificial lakes have been
built by sportsmen for the sole purpose
OF fishing, the cost of which haye been
far in excess of the estimated cost OF
the filling Of the big basin.
1t is hardly possible that the govern,
ment engineer can find another such
opportunity for the establishment OF
an experimental reservoir within the
boundaries Of the state.
