teacher ought to arouse the pupils Ia.

then they would be proud of the build

supplementary quipmen tor the teach

on The great current events, and IN
closing made a plea for the sp tit that

and not the weeks wage.
Better Adm nistration was pre-

teachers and directors, but t. the citizens

When the sap begins to flow,
Ere the green begins to show,
To the maple grove we bic,
On a creaking vain, piled high
With our kettles, pals and boards,
And our dippers made of gourds,
With a knife of white spiles,
With an ak to use tween whites,
Chopping wood to boil the pot
Filled from each sweet flowing slot;
With an egg, ito clear" that grows
Toothsome, as our Bobby knows,
After passing through the sweet
Plus the tabled peck" we eat.
Coatless, Caleb bears the pail;
Hetty, somehow, goes with Gale,
With her gourd to dip the sap
From the trough beneath each tap;
How they delve and work, those two,
Back and forth the whole day through
And their elders point them out
Unto Bob, who hangs about
Where the kettle, foaming, boils,
Hoping for the skimmer's spoils.
Our knowing Bob has faith but small
In virtue, whose reward Is all
Within itself, and so concludes
To conjugate these unknown moods.
I'm bet they drink the sap" quoth he.
"I'll watch behind this maple tree"
The new age. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1896-1905, 1906-03-31

Up saunterS Gale, and Hetty soony
With glowing faces like the moon
At harvest time and eyes that see
No peering orbs behind that tree.
The gourd dips up the flowing sweet,
And Hetty lifts her face to meet
Two lips that happen 90 in the way
AS Gale kneels down-but not to pray.
AHA !" says Bob, beneath his breath,
"Such goodness tickles me to death: -
But go it, Gale, you're welcome, too.
I'll take the skimmin's-same' to- you"
At eventide, when sugar grains,
The youthful helpers-for their pains
With gen'rous, ladle well are paid,
In maple wax, for cooling, laid
Upon tin platters, meath the trees,
treat that never fails to please.
Then Bob, of course, his finger burns,
As ere it cools the mass he turns;
But Gale and Hetty-well content
Sit watching till the heat is spent,
When, forming in a sweet combine,
With buttered hands, their Jumps they

And work and pull, till creamy white
The maple wax appears to sight;
With hands oft touching, eyes aflame
And hearts that beat a tuneful name,

meant,
For that to Bob's lame sister went,
As his large share grew wondrous small
And ne'er, in truth, grew white at all
When the sugar'n' off is done,
With our pots put out to sun,
With our gourds hung up to- dry,
Cakes of maple piled up high,

With the sunshine and the leaves.
All! the skimmer's empty now,
Gale chose best, you will allow.
Sugar time again has come,
Busy bees begin to hum,
And the robin builds her nest
On the naples tallest crest,
Whence she blinks one eye below
As the sap begins to flow.
In the cottage meath the tree,
Snug as ever snug can be,
Still the back log on the hearth
CrackleG nightly, to our mirth;
As the speckled corn we pop
Into snow that makes it hop
Meath the ancient skillet lid,
By its load of live Goals hid;
As we try with forks long tined
Apples that the jam have lined:
As we crack our nuts and jokes,
Drinking health-we jolly folks
From the old brown pitchers rim.
Filled with cider to the brim,
In one corner Hetty sits,
Singing softly az she knits,
Wooing sleep, while keeping time
With her foot, to grooming rhyme,
Tapping gently on and of,
Rocking that same sugar trough.
