purpose of emancipating him. At the
first meeting of the Emancipation So
ciety of the city of New York, Hamil-

Hamilton, coming straight to the
point, Sin token of our sincerity, let
every person here emancipate now"
The members were astonished at the
application of this severe test. Not one
was willing to submit to it. Hamilton,
seeing that his proposition met with
general disapproval, took his hat and
left the building.-Youth's Companion.

IN HARVEST TIME.

In the sultry July weather
When the sun Is warm and high,
Clean the harvest fields in beauty
To the idle passer-by.
And the cummings of the reapers
Fill with music all the air,
While the harvesters are toiling
In the fields so bright and fair.
Just beyond the rip ened wheat field
Stands the green and tasseled corn.
High. erect. and glowing brighter
In the cool and shady morn.
BY the dusty wayside thickly,
Goldenrod in splendor blooms
Lingers, too, some lone, sweet wild rose
Fer 1t fades away to doom.
In the pasture by the wayside,
Peaceful cows contented lie,
Underneath the spreading shade tree,
Or wander to the brook near by.
In the neat and cozy farmhouse
Busy wives the meals prepare,
Humming, smiling and now glancing
Ger the harvest field so fair.
For the food they are preparing
Fit for any king would seem,
With the rolls of golden butter
And abundant rich sweet cream.
Now the golden sun is setting,
And the busy day is done,
Happy harry esters are vending
To their peaceful, quiet homes.
M. Catherine Weiser, in the Minneapoli!
Housekeeper.

tect thet harbors of the United States

land, leaving it on an island.
Toward the close of the day he saw
that the flood had spread on both sides
of the canyon so as to entirely cover
the roads which followed the stream.
Kitty's mother would have to take
roundabout road through the country
and could not possibly reach home
that night. Later he saw a farmer
passing on the other side of the new
channel. The man caught sight of
Jack and hailed him:
You'd better get out of that"
"Why?" shouted Jack.
"Works above giving way. Been
weakening for the last "a hours and
letting out the water. When they go
they'll carry everything before 'em."

best care for Kitty?

mother is. can do it, if l stop to rest
by the way.
Jack worked as he had never worked
before. The barn was rude struc-
ture, but it required more than the
strength of boy easily to get the
door off the hinges. He tugged and
hammered until quite out of breath,
but at length had the pleasure of see
ing his frail bark moored as close to
the door of the house as he could get it.
"I'll move her out onto the porch
while fix things" he decided. ''Then,
If things should go sudden, I could
grab her"
1t was hard work getting the bulky
thing through the narrow door, but
Jack accomplished it, taking one more
affectionate glance at the quiet little
sleeper as he quickly turned to other
things.
AS he did so there came a rush and
roar. The slight raft tipped under
his feet and he was thrown over, re-
ceiving a violent blow on the side of
the head against the edge of board.
In a moment he was half stunned, the
next plunge into the water recalled
his dizzy senses. With a desperate

or utter despairing cry he was far
from the cottage and the precious
treasure he would have guarded so
carefully.
1t was two weeks before Jack opened
his eyes to a clear view of anything.
Mrs. Martin was sitting beside him,
and he made a strong effort to
straighten out in his confused mind
the various things suggested by the
sight of her face.

asked.
"Kitty's safe and WELL"
"How was it?" asked Jack, eagerly,
"The house was carried away"
