Ny Garden Pets.

o well beloved flowers of mine. it grieves to
the heart
To you droop and die, alas and know that
must part.
All through. the bissful summer days and through
the gardens brightest ways,
I cared for you. watched YOU your beauty was
my pride
AS side by side you thrived and grew each one
of you and Wed
To put forth all your glory, your sweet and
fragrant breath
For light for air, for sunshine pure, for heaven
refreshing dew
And for the deep solicitude and love 1 felt for
you.
But now at natures stern decree you SILVER as
with death,
A blight has come upon you, the blight of win
ter's breath;
My garden pets. it grieves me. and sorrowing
1 sigh
To know that you must leave me, to see you
droop and die.
why may you not be with me born when
spring shall rise
From deepest sleep with delight and glad
in her eyes,
When nature with lavish hand will give us as
before,
Fair nymphs green-robed to look upon and bloom
bedecked once more?
A little while, time doth count, the seasons
and go
Spring, summer. autumn, winter, each wisely
planned know
Yet passing each SO quickly they seem to us like
dreams
OF swift delight, of summer nights of frozen
land and streams
little while, then why regret, why grieve me
that you go?
A little while. to sleep, to rest, my garden pets
for 10,
You've labored. you are weary-is it not time for
rest?
Yea, when the earth is swept of all in nature
loved the best,
And now do bethink me, when kith and kin
depart,
I should not seek to hold you by any selfish
art;
So beauteous flowers of summer sweet garden
pets l knew,
Through wintry days and frosty ways I bid
goodbye to you.

section Of land. $40 acres. and is one of the
fairly rich farmers of the district.
Lawrence Flaherty was having a bitter
contest for a bare livelihood for himself
and family sixteen years ago in St Paul.
He was induced to join the Gracevile col
ory. and, as a result of his labors, he now
has 400 acres of fine land and good houses
and barns. He owes no man a dollar and

ton thirteen years ago. He. had money
enough to purchase a team of horses, and
showed the bent of his mind by doing so
when others in the same condition finan-
ciaIly would have made a different DISPOSE
ton of that sum. Mr.. Broderick's acres
now number 400 and he drives the best
span of horses west of st. Paul. He de-
votes his farm to the raising of blooded
horses and cattle, and has been largely in
strumcntal in introducing the best breeds
of both into the colony.
Austin Reddy is another small farmer"
although his farm of 800 acres would be
CT nsdered a very large one in the East.
Mr.. Reddy came fourteen years ago from
the west coast of Ireland and had abso-
mence farming without team or anything
save the few tools furnished by the super
intendent. AS soon as he had planted his
small patch of potatoes he would seek
work wherever it was to be had, and as
soon as he was 1 able he commences work

at the present time.

showed the care Archbishop Ireland took
in the matter. He made his first visit when
there was not house within thirty miles,
and a blanket was his only covering to pro-
tect him from the cold nights. But he
made careful examination of the soil,
and the Graceville colony has raver had a
crop failure. The weight which the advice
of Archbishop ireland has with such col
onists can easily be understood.

Where Men Fail as Lovers.

Lillian Bell, in Ladies Home Journal
1t is a question with me whether woman
ever knows all the joys of love-making
who has one of those daub, silent husbands
who doubtless adores her, but is able to
express it only in deeds. 1t requires an act
of the will to remember that his getting
down town at o'clock every morning is
all done for you, when he hasn't been able
to tell you in words that he loves you. 1t
is hard to get letter telling about the
weather and how busy he is, when the
same amount of space saying that ne got TO
thinking about you yesterday when he saw
a girl on the street that looked like you,
only she didn't carry herself so we'll as
you do, and that he loves you, goodbye
would have fairly made your heart turn
over with joy and made you kiss the hur-
ried lines and thrust the letter in your belt,
where you could crackle it now and then
to make sure it was there. Nearly all
nice men make good lovers in deeds. A
great many fail at some important crisis i'll
the handling of words.
But the last test of all. and, to my mind,
the greatest, is in the use of words as a
balm. Few people. be they men women,
be they only friends, lovers or married,
can help occasionally hurting each others
feelings. Accidents continually hap
pening, even when people are good tenn
pered. And for quick evil-tempered ones
there is but one remedy-the handsome,
honest apology. The most perfect lover is
the one who best understands how and
when to aDOlOgiZe.

A Trio.

Oh, did you hear the drowsy wind
Go signing, half asleep?
And did you feel across your mind,
A dreamy wonder creep?
Somewhere. far off bird sang low.
Cicadas Jared the grass:
Nayhap you saw, l do not know
Mayhap you me passi
And Love was by me, and Delight;
We three did trudge along,
Cum bered with sweets, from morn till night
And overfiiled with song.
Behind us burned the Summer land,
Fair Autumn lay before,
And we--oh, went hand in hand
A-singing ever more.
And then you knew the lazy wind
Was signing half asleep;
But did you feel across your mind
A dreamy wonder creep?

A Manager Herself.
yew York Commercial ADVERTISER.


A jolly little rosy-cheeked woman sat
in front of me in a theater the other night
and it was a treat to see her enjoyment
of the play. 1t reminded me of the aban-
donment OF pleasure in a young girl who
is just realizing what almost unbounded
possibilities of amusement there are in the
theater. She never took her eyes off the
stage. She laughed at the comedy grew
pale-or / thought she did-at the desperate
devices of the villain. and expressed the
depths of womanly sympathy with the
heroine
/ could only see the profile of the rosy
checked woman. but the emotions that
chased ef CHI other across her countenance
were plain enough.
1T Isl refreshing TO see at a theater a
person who has, perhaps. never been in one
before / said to myself. II would give a
good deal if | could feel the same unso-
phisticated pleasure in the play that is
making this a glorfied night TO that little
rosy-cheeked woman. God bless her for
bringing a new. innocent sensation to the
faded Dlay-worn men and women all
around me on this first night
And then the rosy-cheeked little woman
turned around, and / saw-that 1t was Eliz-
abeth Marbury. who has read and seen
more plays than any other woman in
America.

Her Letter.

I wait upon its coming the rain
Is waited for by fevered, barren land
The touch of it doth all my soul command
More than sweet music's softest strain,
Or aged wine that Bacchus knew to drain,
With eager help of trembling, dextrous hand.
How falls the world away slipping sand.
And all my fears. how gently they slain.
The journals stock of flaring morning news
From many lands scarce serves to pass an hour
Until my post-brought chronicle of things
Penned by her hand, is read. Who would not
choose
The home-born news of bird and tree and flower
And chat of loved ones, that her letter brings d?

Something About Baby Talk.

New YORK Ledger.
While it is no doubt exec edingly interest

tie all sorts of affectionate and to the
casual observer, almost unintelligible words
to child, it is not only foolish in itself
but productive of some very unpleasant
consequences.
child learns all sorts of incorrect
sounds words and expressions, and when
the retentive little mind must be stored
with useful knowledge, a great deal of this
baby talk has to be unlearned.
Perhaps it Is not quite as easy, but 1t
certainly is very tnucn more sensible TO
teach children accuracy of speech and cor
rectness in expression. There are so many
things in thH world to learn so many de-
ightful tines. useful things, ana the
world Is - full of information that it is
not only a pleasure to impart but to re-
ceive; that the time wasted in teaching and
unteaching baby talk is something that
ought to be regretted, and usually Is when
1t is quite too late to undo the mtSchIef.
