Flowers for the Back Yard.

The flowers to be found in the I'M
pretentious but pretty gardens of new
corners from Germany are, in a gen
eral way, those best adapted for back
yard adornment in all parts of the
country, says the Woman's Home Com
panion. Morning glory vines and wood
bine can be depended upon to cover
fences or low buildings in a reasonably
brief space of time, and, if encoura ged
will run riotously over tellises or ar
bors. The common crimson variety of
petunias will flourish with very little
attention, and present a most pleas
ing appearance. Scarlet geraniums and
vivid-hued petunias are favorites, as
is also the yellow coreopsis. Roses of
the common varieties of course have
places, and SO likewise do .lady's Slip
pers, selandine and zinnias. Dwarf
sunfiowers are used extensively for
bordering walks or paths, and some of
the harder varieties of ivy are in many
instances encouraged to Irvine about

'TwERE WELL.

If ties of affection were always (un-

And hearts that we cherished were
faithful ior aye;
If the tears that we shed were no
longer a token
That loved ones and loving are pass
ing away;
If hopes that we nurtured ne'er dark
ened or faded,
Like visions of beauty too lovely to
last.
And the dreams of our manhood were
never o'ershaded
BY sad reflections of DAYS that are
passed:
How sweet would this life be! each
fond recollection
Would rise in its beauty to bless and
to cheer,
And our hearts would rejoice in the
glad retrospection,
While bright eyes would sparkle with
pleasures own tear.
But vain is the thought for the fond
heart will never
Find true peace and comfort while
lingering here;
In the midst of our pleasures the angel
will sever
Earth's fairest of blossoms-its val
ued and dear
But blest the reward of that heavenly
dwelling
Where life, light and beauty revive
the dead flowers;
Where the sweet fount Of gladness for
ever is yelling.
And forgot all tie griefs of past
leaden hours;
Where time, change and duty res@n
their dominion,
And clearly revealed are the mystcx-

Wherein Faith calmly folds her once
high-soaring pinion.
And the heart never mourns DER

Don't Take Your Troubles to Bed.

You may labor your fill, friend of mine
of you will;
You may worry a bit if you. must.
You may treat your affairs as a series
of cares,
You may live on a scrap and a crust
But when the days done, put it out
of your head;
Don't take your troubles to bed.
You may batter your way through the
thick of the fray.
You may sweart, you may swear, Won
may grunt;
You may be a jack-fool if you must
but this rule
Should ever be kept at the front:
Don't fight with your pillow, but Law
down your head
And kick every worriment out of the
bed.
That friend or that foe (Which he is.
1 don't know,
Whose name we have spoken as
Hovers close to your side, while Won
run or you ride.
And he envies the warmth of your
breath;
But he turns him away with a shake
of his head.
When he finds that you don't take POUR
troubles to bed.

She Knew Her DOG.

Little Miss Kohlsaat had lost a
much-loved pet dog and had mourned
it for many weeks. One day she hap
pened to see the familiar. hairy gray
nose sticking out from the luxurious
wraps of a fashionable carriage. A
handsomely dressed woman sat beside
him. Crackers was in strange COM
pany, but there was no mistaking the
half-said, half-whimsical look of his
fuzzy eyes.
The carriage was going very slowly
and was near the pavement. With a
cry of delight the little girl called
Crackers"
The dog gave a whine of joy and
sprang in a long, curving bound to the
side of his little mistress. With wrig-
glings and shakes that almost broke
him in two, he jumped about and licked
her hands for sheer joy.
But the woman in the carriage
glared angrily. Her coachman drew
up at the curb and the woman tried to
get back the dog.
But he's my dog" said the little
girl.
No. it is my dog" said the woman;

the child with determination.
BY this time quite crowd of pass

the dog in her arms faced her antag-
onist as a lawyer faces a jury.
Can your dog stand up and beg?"
she asked.
Yes" answered the woman.
Can he jump through hoop?"
Yes
can he lie down and play dead?"
Yes
Can he dance on his hind feet?"
Yes"
Can he say his prayers"
Yes"
Closing her arms tightly about the
dog, the child cried, triumphantly:

The Children's Happiness
CPittsburg Observer.1

How to make the children enjoy
themselves at home on Sundays is
something every good mother wants to
know. In the first place, don't give
them books to read of the goody-
goody type or those whose every para
graph ends in a moral. No bright
healthy, child could find a moments
pleasure in such reading. Give them
instead noble, inspiring poem to read
such as Aubrey. de Vere's Church of
God" or some of the beautiful lines
of the great authors. Then there is
our church music, which is a rare en-
tertainment in itself Take, for in
stance. the Ave Maris Stella"-what
song is more beautiful? Learning to
sing such a hymn well, with someone
at the piano who can read the notes
nicely, will afford much pleasure as
well as cultivate a good taste for mu-
sic. There are many such similar
hymns of a classical order that are not
hard to learn and which will help to
elevate the minds of the children. An
other pleasant diversion is for one of
the children to read out loud a short,
story of pure, happy type.
Thus after returning from Sunday
school the children can spend the rest
of the day in an enjoyable way.
Cnlldren allowed to romp and play
on the streets on Sunday betray their
poor home training and their conduct
reflects discredit on their parents.

When the cruel son is glazing on thu

And the stricken land is staring blank

| When the parching plants are dropping
and the thirsty birds are still,
And the faithful cattle, stopping

When my head and heart are weary OF
the struggle and the heat,
Then my thoughts are backward go

Where lisping stream is flowing from

Early Spring Flowers.

Some of the earliest of our wild flow
ers are to be found near the streams
and ponds. There, in the water, we
may see the reflection of the richly col
ored skunk cabbage, and mirrored be-
low it the silver and gold of the pussy
willow and alder tassels. If we wish
to see variety of spring. blossoms
In one short walk, let us go to some
wooded, sunny southern slope, where
the snow first leaves the ground, and
where the north wind seldom comes.
Here we shall find the anemone. or
kind-fiower with its single bell-like
blossom hanging modestly among it's
clrcling leaves, at the summit of its
wiry stem; and we must not mistake
1t Tor its cousin, the rue-anemone
which has cluster of white stars at
the top. Here, too, we are apt to find
the most delicate flower, the Spring
beauty, with smooth, twisted stem and
hanging buds, which open one at a
time, to become white. five-petaled
blossoms with conspicuous pink vein
lngs. The wild geranium, the star
Hover and the bunch berry will be
mere, too, but we must come a little
later to see them in bloom. Where the
rocks crop here and there out of the
SOIL we may look for the early saxi-
frage, with its cluster of small white
blossoms and hairy stem, which rises
from rosette of leaves at its foot.
The roots force their way down close
to the rock, or into the crevices of
It, and doubtless do their, part toward
the disintegration of the stone. Close
behind it are almost sure to be found
the trembling white hearts-white and
yellow "Dutchman's breeches," as thew
are called The more we love the
spring wild flowers, the easier it is, I
think. to resist the temptation to pick
them; and this is proper, for it is a
poor friendship. which demands the
ieath of the friend-Woman's Home

THE cHILD's CALL.

(The Leader.)
He calls with quick, insistent cry,
He calls at work or play;
And 1 must put my business by,
And all my books away.
| He summons me from household care
Back to his sunny room,
And up the stairs and up the stairs
In happy haste l come.
Sweeter than lark and mavis, dear,
And nightingales in May,
The little voice so shrill and clear
That l must yet obey.
While up the stairs and to the door
My heart runs on in glee.
L hear a voice knew of yore,
That ever calls for me.
Ever through shadow time and sun,
1 hear a baby call,
That is not you, my precious one,
That is not you at all.
Afar, where heavenly waters flow,
Mid paradisal Gains,
All on a sward where lilies blow.
The shepherd counts his lambs.
Afar, beyond the wintry cold,
Upon the heavenly hill,
A little lamb few weeks old,
Bleats for his mother still.
o mothers love and mothers joy!
But while l come in haste,
hear another lovely boy
Cry from the lonely past.
And While l kiss your curls aside,
And hold you to my breast,
kiss the little boy that died,
That will not let me rest.
