Keeping Boys on the Farm.

Much is written about keeping boys
oh the farm. but we cannot see why
boys who are always longing for some
thing different should be compelled to
pass their lives on the farm. IF a boy
likes farm work and we treat him prop
crly. nine times out of ten he will stay
on the farm of his own accord. These
are the days when farming requires
skilled lahorers. Snd the boy who likes
the work will become the most skillful
through study and experience. But
the one who does not like the work W i'll
receive no benefit from any amount Of
study and experience. simply because
his heart is not in the work.-Mary T.

LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.


Several of our state exchanges have
lately devoted no considerable space
to.the advantages of their respective
location as summer resorts. Vermont
is completely dotted with villages that
might be made charming summer
homes of the well to do from the cities
and the advertising given by the coun-
try editor will do very much to bring
these places into prominence. Cas-
plan Lake is one of the finest summer
resorts in the state. At the village
of Greensboro, right on the shore of
the lake, may be found good hotel ac-
commodations, while scattered in pic
turesque irregularity around the lake S
borders are nearly half hundred COM
forta BILE cottages. Some of these cot
tages are kept for private use and
some are for rent. The clear waters
of the lake TEEN with game fish. To
the sportsman and to such as wish
to escape the heat and dust of the
city, we would say - turn your steps
towards Caspian Lake and pause not
until you get there.-IIardwick Gaz-

ORANGE COUNTY POLITICS.

Mr.. Edtor:-l see by the Herald
and News, that the right to present
a senatorial candidate for the west
side of the county this year is claimed
for Randolph, on the ground that they
have not had one for eight years. The
Republicans of Washington think this
privilege should belong to them, as
they have not had one for thirty years.
In 1870 Judge White was elected sem
ator. Since then every town on the
west side except Washington has had
one or more, Randolph having had
four. Under these circumstances the
Republicans of that town will present
my name before the convention as a

EuXente Named 1t Magenta.

Nine. MacMahon had Il fortune of
her own, and when her husband be-
came president of the French republic
they entertained most splenlidly. She
gave not only the official dinners and
balls but one or two private entertain
ments each week. She became as de-
voted a Catholic as her husband.
When MacMahon saved the French
army at Buli'alona, he won the mar
shafs baton and the title of Due de Ma
genta. The duchess was obliged to
seek the Empress Eugene and "eX-
press her sentiments" She wore for
the audience Il dress of reddish violet
velvet, the color of Il rich amethyst.
The empress admired the color, which
was new, and suggested it should be
called magenta in compliment to the
new duchess. At the imperial dinner
given to the officers of the Italian cam
paign she wore a velvet train of the
new color.

Far down the lane

Far down the lane
A window pane
Shines mid the trees through night and rain;
The weeds dense
Through which fence
Srrawls out, one sees not where nor whence,
And there the springhouse, indistinct of line,
Ger rooted and tangled with q trumpet vine
No thing is heard,
IN beast or bird,
Only the rain by which are stirred
The draining leaves
And trckling caves
OF crib and barn one scarce perceives,
And gardexs where old fashioned Aow'rs hang
wet,
The phlox, the candytuft and mignonette.
Why should ] waltz
The hour is late; \
She has not heard me at the gate. '.}tt
Upon the roof
The rain was proof
Against my horses hurrying hoof
Aud when the old gate with its weight ant
Creeks she will think it but the wind and rain.
Along steal
With cautious heel
And by the lamp lit window kneel,
And there she sits
And rocks and knts
Within the shadowy light that fits
On face and hair so sweety sad and gray,
Dreaming Of him she thinks is far away.
Upon my checks
Is it the streaks
OF rain, as now the old porch creak9
Beneath my stride2
And open wide
The door filings, and she's at my side.
Dear mother! And. back from the war, her boy
Kisses her face all streaming wet with Joy.
