She lives in the house with the pillars
And portico quaint
Where dwelt, years ago, the Van Twill
Dutch blood without faint.
And to me It's a mansion elysian,
The faireSt in town,
For she-shes dream and a vision
Her father is Brown.
The rooms have the faint, subtle, musty,
Perfume of old books
Queer volumes, thumbed. tattered and
dusty,
The lore of the long buried sages
Before one is spread;
In the wit and tile wisdom of ages
Her father is read.
But ah! in the practical knowledge
OF beauty and youth
The learning not taught at college
He's lacking, in truth.
Mayhap he was once not as stupid
In Loves fair demeSne,
But now, mid the wileS of Dan Cupid,
Her father is green.
He knows not the secrets that hover
Ger some old romance
The fingers entwined meath the cover,
The swift tender glance.
He knows not-but why undeceive him.
III wager It's true
That, when he is ted she would leave
Her father is blue.

James Harper's Photograph.

Making a photograph Of James Harp
err was the most startling experience Of
my life" says George G. lockwood, the
New York photographer. I'm the year
1869 it transpired that no good picture
existed OF the four Harper brothers, and
it was determined that they should sit
to the same photographer ami have a
uniform series of pictures made. A very
successful photograph of Fletcher
brought them all. James Harper was
the second to sit for me and as he was
passing out of the door OF my studio. he
saw 4 portrait of Rev. DR.. Muhlenburgh,
the founder of St. Luke's- hospital. We
entered into a brief discussion of the
mighty results Of the we'll and wisely-di-
rected efforts of one man as illustrated in
the establishment of this benefccnt in
stitution. He said: If anything should
happen to me, believe l should like to
be taken to St. Luke's hospital. for there
organized, practiced skill would perhaps
be paramount to even the tender care
and love one gets at hime. His words
were prophetic. After declining his
warm invitation for me to ride with him.
he left the gallery, I think. near o'clock
in the afternoon. About 5 O'clock a gen.
tleman rushed into the reception room
and asked, Was James Harper here to-
day?' Yes Did he sit for photo
graph? Yes. and here is the negative
a superb one Thank God! He was
thrown from his carriage this afternoon.
and now lies dying in St. Luke's hos

DENMARK HELPS HERFARMERS
Waste Lands Reclaimed and Small
Holdings Eucouraged.

Waste Lands Reclaimed and Small
Holdings Encouraged.
In a leaflet issued by the Howard asso-
citation, how the government of Denmark
has assisted it's farmers is shown in de-
tail, together with the extraordinary sue
cessful results oil such aids, says Lon
don newspaper. Rural education is said
to be the main secret of Denmark's sue
between the British and Danish rural
districts.is somewhat humilating to Eng
lishmen.
How deficient, compared with Den
mark, are the rural schools of England,
and how backward are the conditions Of
rustic society? It is hardly too much to
say~tl1at the British agricultural inter.
more behind Denmark. If energetic in
dividuals and societies in both the rural
and urban districts Of Great Britain and
Ireland will initiate the example of the
Danish pioneers in the land ''rural ex-
odus'' may be reversed by a strong cur
rent of "ba1k to the land.'' Then it may
be no longer needful, as now, for Great
Britain to spend some f15O.O0O.O00 an
nually for foreign produce which might
be grown at home.
Denmark has within few years re-
claimed some 1000 square miles of preyi-
ously waste land which had been regard
ed as almost valueless. About five-sixths
Of her territory is possessed by small free
holders and peasants. The peasantry
have established some 400 banks, chiefly
under their own management. They
have set up cattle-breeding societies, CO.
operative steam dairies, bakeries, facto-
ries and mills. Today Denmark is the
second country in the world in regard to
wealth per head of its population.
