"wHEN THE PAY CAR COMES. "

One day in every month we hail
a pay car that runs on the rail;
Where toll ard trouble always reign
From end to end Of every tram.
This day with joy for some to tell
OF how last month they did so well:
For all depends upon the sums
That We'll get. when the pay car comes.
With business brisk and splendid health
All railroad men contemplate wealth,
But when it's dull, a poor spare crew
Must feel IL every movement blue;
The STEADY runs" and sure to win,
The boys all say they make good tin,
Their loaVes of bread never get stale,
While there's a pay car on the rail.
Some gowns, and gloves. an Easter hat,
Good things on table and all that;
Young Johnnie. in his teens may like
The latest model of a bike;
And sister beg for wardrobe fine,
And mother, for the last design
In silks, ito stificate" her chums.
The moment that the pay car comes.
The Lord above. He only knows,
Just how and where all the cash goes
To-day we fly high on low wheels,
tomorrow StarVe on pork and beans,
Financially broke and credit bad,
a nickle hardly to be had:
For comfort we may hold our thumbs
Until again the pay car comes.

SUMMER HATS,

Pink and blue hats with short chiffon
capes to match are among the latest
novelties They are shown in different
shades OF color. of tulle. chiffon and even
fancy straw, and are all on the pictures
que order, and suitable only for midsum-
mer. Many Of the hats are without any
trimming of flowers or feathers, while
others again are heavily trimmed with
artificial fruit--a late and very popular
fashion. pale green hat Of this sort is
in the toque shape trimmed with punches
of purple and green grapes, and the cape
designed to be worn with it is an absurd
affair in green chiffon tied with purple
ribbons. These fashions are decidedly con.
spicuous, and bound to be short-lived, but
as they are among the novelties of the
season call for comment. In contrast 10
them are the hats made of light fancy
straw and chiffon combined, and three or
four small buds. While on the subject OF
hats there must be inclined the poke bon
net of small size in fine straw that has
white ribbon around the crown, and white
ribbon strings The brim inside Is faced
with chiffon caught down with one small
bunch of fiowcrs.-Harper's Bazaar.

VERMONT'S RESERVOIR OF VITAL
ITY.
(From the Fair Haven Era)

(From the Fair Haven Era)
We have been supplying the nation with
brain, Drawn and sinew since the time
when the colonies were struggling for
their independence. Vermont has sent
more of her host blood to people the
young West. and to infuse new vigor and
life into the tagging Vitality of those who
dwell in cities than any other Eastern
State. Her sons have drank deep at the
fountain of liberty, and when the call
came for the Green Mountain boys to
take up arms against the enemy no state
did more to crush the oppressor. Again
in 1851 no commonwealth did as much,
comparing the size of States, to defeat
the rebellion. Many. many times the
troops Of other States had cause to thank
the sturdy soldiers os old Vermont for
saving them from crushing defeat Yer
mont is still sending her sons out into tine
world. even to the uttermost ends OF the
earth, and wherever they have gone their
influence for good has been felt Neigh
boring States have drawn largely upon
her brain and blood and the supply is not
e. hausted. Well may 1t he said that Yer
mont has a splendid reservoir to draw
upon. and we are still willing to supply
the world with the best ,hat is IN us.

FARM PROPERTY IN NEW ENGLAND
(From the Boston Transcrpt)

1t is n very common thing in New Eng
land nowadays for farms to be sold at a
price which would not pay for the build
ings that so with them, reckone1 at either
the original or present cost of ConStruC-
ton. At Bethlehem, Conn. recently a
farm was sold for $1,000. which would not
replace the barns on the property, to say
nothing of the other structures and the
land: and a smaller farm in the same
town that cost its owner Si1O 20 years
ago. was sold for $50 Very likely these
were extreme cases. but they none the
less indicate a tendency. This is the
neither milestone. The upper one seems to
be the decision of the New England in
surance exchange to increase rates very
materially on all farm property. The rate
that has prevailed in nearly all classes of
farm insurance has been 81 % for three
years. Now 1t is to be > per cent for three
years on property occupied ny tho owner.
and IL per cent for one Year on farm
property occupied by tenants. The farmer
will be disposed. under these conditions,
to trust more to chance than ever

LOVE HAS A vow.

They say, these critics wise and true.
That all life's tales are told;
That death lies meath the morning dew,
That the heart of the world is cold!
The hero's dust, his red sword rust,
My lady signs no more;
Good deeds of valor, love, and trust,
la. ha are poets lore!
But lips speak low and hopes beat high
Sweet faces fash and fade;
Brave souls bow down to the mystic sky
IIo! Love has vow new -madel
And never a star DER the western bar
Falls into the deep Of night,
But thought Is born that will burn far
far,
In the deathless soul of the right.
