the system by which the gardens Of each plot are

BEGINNING AGAIN.

BEGINNING AGAIN.
When. sometimes our feet grow weary,
On the rugged hills of life
The path stretching long and dreary
With trial and labor rife
We pause on the toilsome journey.
GlanCng backward In valley and glen.
And sigh with an infinite longing
To return and begin again
For behind is the dew of the morning,
In all its freshness and light.
Ard before are doubts and shadows.
And the chill and gloom Of the night.
We remember the sunny places
We passed so carelesSly then,
And ask with passionate longing,
To return and begin again
All vain indeed is the askingt
Lfe's duties press all of US on.
And who dare shrink from the LABOR,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gomez
And Il may be- not far on before US
Wait fairer places than then
Life's paths may yet lead by still waters,
Though we may not begin again
Forevermore upward and onward
Be our paths on the hills OF life,
And soon will radiant dawning
Transhgure the toll and the strife,
And our Fathers hand Will lead US
Tenderly upward then;
In the joy and peace of a fairer world
He'll let us begin again.

Ant. .. Mu.hroom Growers.

The growing of mushrooms" for food by a species of ants is interest ingly deserted in the American Natur- alist by Prof. w. NJ. Wheeler. The ants first cut leaves into small pieces and carry them into their under ground chambers, where they are re- duced to a pulp and deposited in a heap. In this heap the mycelium of a species of fungus finds lodging, and the subterranean conditions favoring such a result minute swellings are produced son the vegetable mass. These are the mushrooms" which constitute almost the sole food of the colony of ants that cultivates them.
