THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE.

The little red schoolhouse is open
 again; The door stands ajar and the shut
 ters are down, The windows through many a newly washed pane, Like the spectacled master, gaze up the
 long lane. And with much the same scholastical
 frown. clear By the newly trod path from the stiles to the door, By the two little paths leading round to the rear. Where truant feet scamper when books time draws near To snatch from grim duty just one minute more. 'Tis clear by the paper that filters the lawn All. perhaps, that's immortal Of statesman or bard, Strewn recklessly, ruthlessly, hither and yon- By the footprints in mud the worn door sill upon, And the ball bats and playhouses 'cumbering the yard. The little red schoolhouse is open, say, But the faces that wistfulIy peer through the door, So weary of work, and so hungry for play, And the voices that lisp the old lessons today Are never the faces and voices of yore The little red school house is open. but where, O( brother of mine. are our comrades of old; The stout-hearted lads, and the maid
 ems so fair, We fought with and played with and idOlized there. With valor, and ardor, and love all
 untold? The boy who could just never learn how
 to spell O. what was his name. and what has
 been his fate? The good boy. the bad boy. the boy who
 would tell. The boy who could mimic the mastar
 so well. And the boy who could wondrousIy
 draw on his slate! And the girl whose initials were carved
 on the bench In the yard. and so deeply engraved
 in my heart Who could write so and sing so. and
 say such a speech, AS no tongue could relate and no teach
 CT could teach Time. and Change. where have you
 buried her art? The little red schoolhouse is open-alas. we may not return to our GesHs as Up the rough path ad astra no longer
 may pass All their lessons forgot, our mates sleep
 heath the grass, Ana their names, aforementioned. on
 stones are enrolled. E. O. Laughlin in Indianapolis Journal.

PLANT PECULlARITlES.
The Reason Fruit Bushes and Vine
Are Protected by Thorns.

The Reason Fruit Bushes and Vines
Are Protected by Thorns.
Most persons think that the stem of
a plant grows from the roots On the
contrary, the roots grow from the
stem. In the case of plant that dies
down to the ground in autumn it is
not the roots that send up new stem
i'll the spring, for a part of the true
stem remains underground on the root
crown, and from it grow up the bud
bearing stems in the spring. When
seed terminates, it sends the light
loving stem upward and the dark low
ing root downward.
Saw off part of tree trunk and you
will find series of rings from the cen
ter to the bark, each ring marking a
year of growth. But these rings indi-
cate also which of the seasons through
which the tree has lived were dry aud
which had plenty of rain. The rings
are always of unequal width. The
narrow ones represent dry seasons and
the wide ones seasons when the condi-
tions of growth were better by reason
of plentiful rain.
Every rose has it's thorn, and the
same may be said of such fruits as
blackberries, raspberries, etc, only
they are not real thorns, but prickles,
which strip off with the outer bark,
while thorns will not strip off, being
hardened, undeveloped branches.
But why do bushes and vines have
prickles? Many people wonder at it,
for they see no good reason for such a
growth. But there is a reason, as
there is in everything in nature. The
pricEles are given to them as a pro-
lection against plant eating animals.
The stems have pleasant, aromatic
taste, and cows and sheep would be
sure to eat them in winter, when they
crave something fresh. if it were not
for the prickles.
