THE FARMER'S BOYS.

own I'm rather lonely, for my help has
gone away,
The harvest time is over and cut is all the
hay;
And I long to get the papers, but fear to
see them come,
For Tom and Jack are fighting to the music
of the drum.
The boys are patriotic, like their father
long ago
When he heard the call of Lincoln and
went for to meet the foe;
And when they came to me and said that
they were young and strong
told my wife l knew the farm would never
hold them long.
There's Jack; he has his mothers eyes, his
face is round and fair,
He has his mothers gentle ways, her soft
and silky hair:
AM Tom; they say he looks like me, raw
boned, and tanned and stout,
The kind of boys, the captain says, to
storm the strong redoubt.
I saw the thing a-brewing, but had no
word to say,
The boys grew restless, for they read the
papers every day;
And when the call for men was made they
hurried down the lane.
And in the village joined the boys who'll
ne'er forget the Maine
My wife and I together sit when all the
work is done,
And watch the hills in silence as they red
den meath the sun:
She knows that I am thinking of the boys
we've sent afar,
AID she is praying silently for peace to end
the war
They'll never shrk their duty; Tom and
Jack are true as steel;
Before their might, I'm proud to say, the
Spanish foe will reel:
What tales will Jack bring back with him
from regions far away,
And Tom Will tell Of fighting down by San
1ago bay!
Old Glory will not blush for them. they'll
nobly wear the blue;
They won't disgrace the Buckeye farm; to
country both are true,
told them when they started, as l held
their hands in mine,
That I was once a soldier in the grand old
Union line.
When I lead the horses homeward through
the bracing twilight air
I see two boys in uniform, heroic, tall and
fair,
And one looks like his mother when I
wooed her long ago,
And the others like his father, with his
curious ways, you know.
It seems they're with me all the time, but
yet they are afar:
Upon their bayonets doth fall the light Of
tropic star,
They know the Old farm misses them, no
mater where they roam,
And every night 1 know they think of
mothers face and home.
We pray together, wife and I, we kneel be-
fore the throne,
And ask the Fathers care for those SO dear
TO alone:
May we hear from lips we long to kiss,
though now they're far away,
The story of Manila and of Santiago bay.

An Apparition.

THE burglar entered. He carefully
recOnnOitered, then rose and
walked lightly but boldly to the bed.
The gas was burning dimly, revealing
in the laceGraped couch a four-year-
old child. Her tleecy curls were tossed
round her flushed face, and the rest
less movements, the frown OF pain on
the white forehead, showed plainly
that she was not sleeping the sleep of
perfect health.
kid looks bad" commented
Brickey, looking down a moment on
the pretty picture. 'Nurse skipped to
make a night of it and locked the kid
in to get along all by herself alone.
Blamed if she amt put the lamb to bed
with that cold, shiny necklace a-chok-
in her. She shan't be choked-no, she
shan't!"
STOPPING, the benevolent visit or
loosened the slender coral chain deity
from the dimpled neck.
'Brickey brickeybrac!" he
muttered, disparagingly. TOO much ;!
Piles of money spent on trash that
amt worth carry1n' off, an the town
full of suffering burglars. It's shame
Hello!"
He turned round quickly at a queer
sound from the bed, and put his hand
on the ugly looking weapon at his side.
The strange choking sound had come
from her. The dimpled arms were
tossed over her head, and the face
drawn and crimson in an effort to
breathe. One brassy cough told the
story.
THE deuce! The young ones got
the Group! An she'll choke in jitfy
I'd like to have that nurse by the back
Of the neck just a minute! Coin off
an leavin' that sick kid with a bur-
glar. Burglars amt no trained
nurses!"
The child seemed to breathe easier
just then.
'That's the ticket! Mabbe she'll pull
through. But it's gettin' early.
What's this?''
A fine old oil painting hung at the
opposite end of the room. 1t was a
very precise, very stiff, very aristo-
cratic elderly woman in coal scuttle
bonnet, and everything about her sug-
gestive of rigid responsibility. On the
corner of the picture frame hung that
same bonnet, yellow with age.

A bismarck "Reminiscences

Prof. Eegidi, who was for many
years the chief of the press bureau, I'M
der Prince Bismarck, has just pub
lished the following "reminiscences of
Prince Bismarck and the car, Alexan-
der H.: Before the outbreak of the
Franco-German war the car was will
King William at Ems. They were to-
gether one evening, and Prince Bis
marck was standing at the other end
of the room anXiously watching the
| car, whose more or less friendly atti-
tude toward Prussia's policy was a
matter of very great Importance. Sud-
denly the czar's big dog, which had been
lying silent under it's masters chair,
rose, prowled about the room, stopped
before Prince Bismarck, looked at
him, wagged its tail affectionately,
and licked the hand he held out toward
it. The car, who had attentively
watched it's movements, called out to
Prince Bismarck at this moment: You
see, the dog knows his masters
friends. y Prince Bismarck, who told
Eegidi this story, added: 81 felt re-
ieved. That was a historical mo-
ment Tor our policy."-London Stand

TrelliS for Tomatoes.

While the tomato can be and often
is grown with it's vines on the ground,
the fruit ripens more evenly and per-
fectly, besides producing a larger
crop, if the vines are supported by a
trellis of some kind. It may be moth
ing more than a stick forked like a
"y,' and with long enough stem to set
firmly in the ground. But if the soil
is rich and the tomato vines are heavy,
a row of strong stakes with a wire
wound around each at the height of
is inches will give better satisfaction.
When the vines turn to grow down
wards the part below will blossom and
fruit more abundantly than before.

gIhe greater value ofssffruit. growing
to the farmer is not primarily in it's
commercial aspect, or how much
money it will bring in, although the
receipts from the sale of the surplus
are not to be despised, either; it is
rather the "health of good living" tina
comes from an abundant supply of all
kinds OF fruit that may be readily
grown IN that locality, so that all the
year round the family may have all
they can consume. There are fruit
specialists, the Homestead remarks,
OF course, just as there are specialist 5
IN other lines of farm industry, who
make handsome income out of the
orchard and small fruit paintings.
They like the work and therefore learn
1t easily and keep on learning until
they are gray, and their knowledge be-
comes more valuab bic every year by
accretion. Any young farmer who be-
gins on a scale adapted ITO his home
needs may grow into a specialist of
this kind, but thousands never do.
This is no reason why the thousands
should not have all the fruit their fam.

useful kinds and those most easily
grown, the farmer can gradually sur.
round himself with good home or
chard and small fruits of all kinds.
that improve his living and reduce
its cost, thus adding to his comfort
and independence. We do not find it
necessary to do much in the way OF
urging horticulture. Those who are
already fitted for it know enough
about it to determine for themselves
whether or not they shall engage in it,
while those who are not sufficiently
Informed must work their way to it,
if at all, by beginning at the bottom
of the ladder; and there is no better
way to do this than by beginning with
few good trees in a home orchard,
and small areas of small fruit for
home use. We do urge this upon every
farmer. If no cash income ever
comes from it, it is still worth all the
expense in time and money that it
costs.

The function of a pavement or road
surface is very imperfectly under

roads have been in use for long peri

wet spot or bog will become dry if
filled in; that good foad may be
made anywhere, simply>by making a
shallow trench of the desired width
and filling it with stone, and that the
surface of a stone road needs to be
