Didst ever observe when pig in the fence
Sends forth its most pitiful shout
How all Of his neighbors betake themselves
thence
To punish him ere he gets out?
And the hubbub they raise, SO that others afas
May know his condition and hence
Come running to Join them in adding scar
To the pig that is fast in tho fence.
Well, swine are not all Of the creatures that be
Who find themselves sticking between
The rails of the fence, and who try to get free
While the world is still showing them in;
Who find that the favor they meet with de.
Ponds
Not on words. but on dollars and cents,
And that tits but few who will prove than
selves friends
To the pig that is fast in the fence.

A Quick Recovery.

planned to visitor of lazy colored man
whom he could do nothing with. 1--WE

little reflection, "lend me few yards
Of string and that niger will be miles

Autumn Treatment Of Raspberries.
The London Garden contains some
good directions on the autumn treat
ment Of the raspberry, the substance Of
which is worth repeating, with some
comments. The early removal of the
canes is recommended, which is good
advice when they are standing In
sheltered positions. But in bleak ex-
posures the old canes may aid in pro-
tecting the new ones against wind and
storms. Heavy surface mulching twice
q year Is recommended. Suckers should
b removed, because they rot the plants,
but better way is to clear out all the
needless suckers early in the season
when only few inches high.
Only three or four canes for future
bearing should be allowed for each stool,
or five at the most If they are rather
weak. IF, however, they are wanted for
planting, more may be allowed. Canes
for next seasons bearing may be mod
erately or lightly pruned or shortened
back or pinched into good shape with
out removing much foliage till they have
acquired strong and well matured
