which it's leaves turn around of their

MOTHERS HOUR.
A Time for Confidence and
Counsel.

When the children's hour is thing of
the far away past, because there are no
more little ones to have their evening
frolic or bedtime story, the hour once
devoted to them becomes the mothers
hour. 1t is an hour in which the young
woman takes her old place at her moth
er's knee as she was wont when she
listened to the evening story. But now
she tells the story to the mother; the
story of her day, her fears, her hopes,
her ideals. Happy is that daughter who
can come to her mother as her best
friend, as sure of her compassion as of her
counsel
1t is often so very different. The
mother does not invite the shy conf
dence of the growing girl. She comes
to womanhood and between her and her

HER REVIEW.

She thinks the world is happy
And nothing can go wrong,
That there is no pain or sorrows
That life is one sweet song.
She says the earth is pretty,
With its flowers, birds and love,
And there is no brighter, better world,
Not even far above.
She thinks mankind is generous
And every heart is true,
That you should put your trust in all,
1t doesn't matter who.
She says all men are honest,
That their hearts are never bad,
And while the sun is shining bright
The whole wide world is glad.
She thinks there is no trouble
Upon this cheerful earth
And all the world is simply made
OF laughter, song and mirth.
She says all men are equal,
And in a manner bold
She tells us that the world-ah, well,
She's only five years old.

THE APPLE BARREL.


Il stood In the cellar low and dim,
Where the cobwebs swept and swayed,
Holding the store from bough and limb
At the feet Of autumn laid,
And oft, when the days were short and dreaf
And the north wind shrieked and roared,
We children sought in the corner here
And drew on the toothsome hoard.
For thus through the long, long winter time
1t answered our every call
With wine of the summers golden prime
Sealed by the hand OF fall.
The best there was Of the earth and air.
OF rain and sun and breeze,
Changed to pippin sweet and rare
By the art OF the faithful trees.
4 wonderful barrel was this had we
Its message but rightly heard,
Filled with the tales OF wind and bee.
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss of the fragrant June
When skies were soft and blue,
Thronged with the dreams Of harvest moon
Ger fields drenched deep with dew.
oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvellous skill againl
Take me back to the past, pray.
As willingly now as then
Back to the tender morns and ewes,
The noontides warm and still,
The feecy clouds and the spangled leaves
OF the orchard over the hill.
