To bicker down a valley.

BY twenty thorps, a little town,
j And half hundred bridges.
Till last by Philips farm l flow
To join the brimmng river;
For men may come, and men may go
But l 60 on forever.
l chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles;
l bubble into eddying bays;
babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks fret
BY many field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set
With willow-weed and mallow.
l chatter, chatter as l flow,
To join the brimming river;
For men may come, and men may go,
But | 60 on forever.

With here a blossom sailing,
And here and there a lusty trout,
And here and there a grayling;
And here and there a foamy fake
Upon me, as | travel;
With many a silvery waterbreak
Above the golden gravel;
And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river;
For men may come, and men may go,
But ! go on forever

l slide by hazel covers;
l move the sweet forget-me-
That grow for happy lovers
/ slip, slide, l gloom, l glance
Among my skimming swallows;
make the netted sunbeams dance
Against my sandy shadows.
l murmur under moon and stars,
In brambly wildernesses;

And out again | curve and flow,
To join the brimming river;
For men may come, and men may go,
But | 60 on forever.

The Boy and the Farm.

The wonderful strides in apricul-
tural science, as well as the vast in.
crease in the insect enemies of grow
ing things, has both doomed and de-
tered farm work as a profession, so
that the old-time ideas Of farming can
not be said to bring success except in a
very moderate degree. The farming
of the future must be done by tue boys
and girls Of to-day, and we owe it to
our children to give them the best DOS.
sible chance to gain knowledge which
will help them in their life work. If
the boy Is seriously interested in aCri-
culture, it will be paying investment
to give him course in an agricultural
college.
If one cannot afford the full course
Of four years, or if the boy is not suffi-
ciently well educated to take this
course, give him the shorter one OF
two years, or, better than nothing. let
him take the short winter course of
from ten to twelve weeks and study
the particular branch in which he is
interested. You will find that his in
terest in the work will be enough
greater to warrant the expense. True
he may not learn great deal in the
short course, but it will be enough to
open his eyes to the possibilities, and
he will be placed on the right track
to study and work by himself. Talk
to the boy about it, and write to the
agricultural college of your State for
detailed information.

one of the most wonderful things they

of the candles which they carried the
women were unable to determine if
the water itself were colored or the
red effect was given by 1t flowing over
a deep red rock base.
The trip was fralght with many
dangers. None of the natives ever
venture more than hundred feet
from the mouth of the cave. 1t is
their belief that the place is inhabited
by ogres and creatures of magic
power. The tales only whetted the
desire of the two Quaker City visitors
to penetrate the depths of the rocks,
So they secured large candles to light
the way into the unknown galleries

After making their way along a mar

grotto, the roof hung with beautiful
which glittcred in the flick

1t was through this cavern that the
blood-red stream runs. The ladies
walked along the edge of the water
until it narrowed so that they could
scarcely squeeze through. At the other

more magnificent than the first Their
