fN HARVEST TIME.

 In the suitry July weather
 When the sun is warm and high, Clean the harvest fields in beauty To the idle passer-by. And the humnsings of the reapers
 Fill with music all the air, While the harvesters are toiling
 In the fields so bright and fair. Just beyond the ripened wheat field Stands the green and tasseled corn, High, erect. and glowing brighter In the cool and shady morn. By the dusty wayside thickly,
 Goidenrod in splendor blooms. Lingers too, some lone, sweet wild rose Fer it fades away to doom. In the pasture by the wayside,
 Peaceful cows eontented 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 Der 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 harX esters are vending
 To their peaceful, quiet homes. M Catherine Weiser, in the Mtnneapoli; Housekeeper.

LIFE.

Li'o's but trousled river, flowing on
To gain the ocean, whose grim name Is
Fate.
We iioat upon its surface, then are gone.

We quarrel with the sunshine while It's
there,
Pluck not the flowers that blossom all
around,
Heed not the beauties In this world so fair.
Till clouds close thicken. and the visions
drowned
Drowned in Old age or In our faulty reason.
Which sees not what things are or ought
to be,
So dwaied our knowledge truth confounds
with treason.
And pride won't tcil us we've not power

Contentmcnt! It's q lcssofpast our learning;
We scOrn the happiness the gods do send;
For far-or worlds and myths we've always

To s,oop TO hcauties near our minds won't
bend.
SO Life Is but one long and fruitless straln-

To get beyond what is within our reach
The river flows on without moment
deigning
To listen 10 the wisdom we would teach'
And Fate is rea1hcd--the dark and scething
ocean,
Which covers all and well its secrets keep;
We tloa, along with weary onward motion,
Till All is over and In death We sleep.

AN AUDIENCE or THREE,
How Artenus Ward Escaped From ao
Awkward situation.

Awkward situation.
Before Artemus Ward went TO Lon
don, where the English fell in love
with him only to mourn his premn-
ture death among them, he had CON
quered the respect aud affection of his
own countrymen by his quaint and
kindly humor. Tho itinerary OF one
Of his tours led him to town in CEN
trail Pennsylvania IL was about the
middle of January. The day Of the
lecture came, and with 1t early came
Artemus. Before noon tremendous
snowstorm broke over that part of
Pennsylvania aud ragged furiOusl v all
day and night. There are some per.
, sons yet living who remember that
storm, and how regtelfully, in view OF
its savage ferocity, they gave up the
idea of hearing Artemus Ward. All
special trains were abandoned. When
the lecturer appeared on the stage
that night aud looked about him, III
all the large theatre he saw only three
men, each in the seat his coupon called
for; all three, IA it happened, being
far to the rear.
The three men looked lonely and un-
comfortable As one of them said af-
terward, they did not think there were
enough of them to do justice to the
occasion, and they felt the awkward
ness OF the situation and wondered
what the outcome would be. Keep
ing that solemn face of his at its sol
emnest, Artemus advanced to the foot

repeat this invitation before his audi

he said, and mustered courage 10 60

together in the front row, Artemus
said: ''There, now, that's more socia-
ble." He paused and went ON;
Gentlemen, you are entitled to see

the cafe, where for hours they made
merry, and whence one of them at
least was most reluctant To start for
home. He says he never had a more
enjoyable time in his life, and that If
Artemus Ward was not at his best
then his best must have been 'past ak

The elaborate precautions which are

Six hours before tho passage Of the

The Queens Four-Leaved C1ovar

An amusing story of Queen Hortense.
daughter Of the Empress Josephine and
wife of Louis Bonaparte, king of Hol-
land, has lately been told. After her
exile from Holland, the ex-uueen So
journed for time in a modest habita-
ton near Constance, in Switzerland.
AS her health was broken down by her
troubles, her physicians prescribed a
visit to the mountains of Appenze1l,
and the ex-queen, accompanied ONLY
by reader or female companion and
two or three servants, went to rustic
neighborhood in the hills. There she
and her companion found nothing bet
ter to do than hunt for four-leaved
clover, and became quite excited in the
search. ITO lend the matter interest"
the queen wrote in letter which has
been brought to light, swe would as
sumo that each discovery of a. four
leaved clover had some pathetic sig
nificance. The next one, if found so
and SO, meant that we should return
to France; another meant that + was
to receive a letter next. day from my.
SON Louns and so on. In this innocent
pastime we found positively the only
excitement that was open to us in the
place. But soon it was noised abroad
among the children of the neighbor-
hood that we were continually hunting
four-leaved clover, and consequently
these children argued, we must want it
very much. Then all the children and
some Of the grown people were out
hunting four-leaved clover and soon
great punches were brought to us, for
which we had to show ourselves very
grateful. In another day our only re-
source for amusement was gone, for
these kind but superserviceable peo-
pie had stripped the neighborhood for
q mile around Of all its four-leaved
clover!'' * {.

FLOWING MADE EASY. 4


4 Now 1nvention--A Stone Dodser..
From the Farm Implement News
The Fuller & Johnson Mfg. Co. Of
Madison, Wisconsin, have brought out
new implement, namely, q riding
plow, that Is attracting much atten-
ton wherever it Is seen. Heretofore
there has been very serious objection
to the riding pillow where there is stone.
In striking stone not only has there
been danger Of breaking the plow and
harness, but the blow on the shoulders
Of the horses was very Injurious, and
worse than all, the driver was in dan
ger Of being thrown off and injured,
These objections are overcome in this
appropriately named "stone dodger
pillow. When it strikes stone the plow
part only is raised up and slides over
the stone and pulls itself into the
ground again without any action on the
part Of the driver. The sulky nart is
not raised at all. A boy or an old man
who can handle the team can thus
readily do the blowing. 4 XIX
So much interest has been taken IN
this pillow wherever it has been shown
that the manufacturers have adopted q
novel plan to aid in presenting it's man
ifest advantages to the farming COM
munity. They are having a large num-
Der Of models made and in any section
where there is no sample plow that
can readily be seen, any reputable
farm can, by writing to the company,
have a model sent to him by express
for inspection, without expense to him,
the company paying expressage both
ways. The farmer, after examination.
simply returns it to the express Office.
The model is nice piece of work. It
weighs only ten pounds. The pillow is
made as a single plow for three horses
and as double or gang for four horses.
A very effective potato planting attach
ment can be had with these plows a,
small extra cost.
