Little Christ asIeeping
Tie Cricket Song (Japanese.)

Or II. Stoddard in Scribner's Magazine)
Here in my lonely cottage.
Now winter winds are cold.
/ hearken TO the crickets,
And sigh that l am old.
I hear their small bells tinkle,
Like beads of silver rain
That break on the brooks in summer,
And dream l am young again.
| see my native rice fields
Flushed with streams in spring,
And I hear the frogs, so many
The waters seem TO sing.
Sweet are the rivers of Settsu.
The rice streams sweetest Of all
For there all day in the sunlight
The cherry blossoms fall.
Nothing falls here save srowflakes.
Blown from the wintry sky;
No light here save from embers
That sulienly smoldering die.
No sound save the bells of my crickets.
Somewhere in the darkness rung.
And the sigh of the poor old singer
For something that still is young!

Tie Farmers Fowls.

In beginning, the first thing to be
considered, says the Epitomist, is a
good coop. This should have two
rooms, one built for the roosts and the
other for scratching pen and nests.
The roost part should be made warm,
may be ventilated without causing a
draft on the fowls. The other room
should be quite commodious. and Goes
not need to be so warm, but should
be warm enough that the biddies will
not freeze on cold day. There should
be plenty of nests made. and it is best
to have them dark. as the egg-en ting
habit will not be so often formed. Feed
should be scattered among litter to
keep them busy. a box of sifted ashes
and another of gravel should be placed
handy for them.

A Carol of Birds.

Nora Hopper in North American RI
yiew)
Little Christ in the winter
Opened first his eyes;
Saw a star above his bed,
Shining near his mothers head;
Saw the frosty skies
Full of angels singing slow.
Singing low
Lullabies.
Little Christ in the summer
Made a pretty play.
Shaping doves and sparrows
Out of wetted clay;
Babe each lift a living wing
In the sunshine, preen and sing,
Gladdening
Soar and fly away.
Little Christ in the autumn,
With the passing birds,
Sang a song of wondering
Sweet beyond all musicking
Holpen out with words.
Leading with a quiet pace
To the trodden drinking place
The day-weary herds.
Little Christ in the springtime
Found a ruined nest,
And so sweet q prayer he prayed
That the gentle Father bade
dead robin live again,
That her colo eggs might be made
Singing creatures free and fain,
Unafraid.
Little Christ asleeping
Fell and dreamed a dream.
Birds Of feather and of clay
AT the dying of the day
Camc and sang to him.
Sparrows chirped a merry note.
But enc mother robins throat
Shrilled of death and holy rood.
Was il i'll or was it good,
Such a dream?
