A Visit to airyland.

come out in the day. but at night they
have such feastS as never a mortal
ever witnessed. l strolled out one eve
the town, where there is little wood,
and merry little stream sings lula
bfes to the baby birds. The wild flow
ers We're in full bloom and the light
breeze gently swayed the leaves.
1 noticed a slight rustling in the
leaves, and in few seconds tiny
fairy stood before me-a fairy with
sauzy wings and long, golden hair,
tiny dancing feet and eyes like dia-
monds. The fairy beckoned me to
floating through the air At a little
distance / heard sweet music and many
fairy voices singing praises to their
queen and as / drew near I beheld a
sight well worth describing.
There. enthroned upon seat of
flowers, was the fairy queen. her long,
golden hair like spun gold. and her
tiny eyes shining like gems. Her
silvery gauze. and the dancing feet
wore slippers of bright glass Her
many subjects We're singing songs of
praise to her. and the tinkling blue
bells We're adding their sweet music
to the anthem. AS l came nearer the
queen descended from her throne and
came to meet me, followed by her at
tendants and pages. AS / looked l felt
myself grow smaller and smaller, until
l was no larger than the tiny fairies
by whom / was surrounded.
After / knelt to the queen in hom-
age she desired TO see me privately, and
l was borne away on the wings of the
wind to her little glass palace. where
she held her court. She said she had
watched me as mortal, had seen my
faults, and wished to help me.

THE FLAX.

The flax was in bloom. 1t had pretty
blue blossoms on it. and was very
happy.
After little some men came and
pulled 1t up, roots and all. It was
bruised and broken, and at last put
on wheel and the wheel went around
fast.
After while it was taken off the
loom and carried into another room.
where it was made into handsome
piece of linen.
1t was then sent to store in Rich
mond, where lady bought 1T one
week later and made herself dress
out OF It,
Years passed; the dress was in
threads and rags. 1t was taken to a
factory. 1t was mashed and boiled,
and in little time II was paper. The
Times-D Dispatch was printed on It, It
was Sold and in about week the
cock burned 1t to start fire with.
Thus the flax was killed.

TRIALS AND COMFORTS OF COOK.
ING AND WEATHER.

TRIALS AND CONlFOk'TS OF COOtN-
ING AND WEATHER.
Cooking on the stove in the summer
Is a very heating thing
In this Southern cline
Unlike the good old winter-time.
Standing DER the stove,
Cooking in the heat
You feel as though you couldn't bear
To see anything more to eat.
But nature has her course to run,
Just the same as the rising sun.
And human beings have to eat,
Even though they feel the heat.
SO many dishes to wash up;
So many plates, saucers and cups,
That we cry. "Oh! If we only could
just for q month or two do without
food!"
But our cries are all in vain,
And the next meal finds us eating
again.
Now, in the winter time. the cook is
the envied one;
For while others have to go in the
cold.
She stays by the nice hot stove
AT least till the cooking is done.
And when at night man comes home,
Feeling tired and mad.
And sees his supper smoking hot,
He thaws. and for life is glad.
Proving better than anything can
That hungry man Is an angry man.
There are four seasons in the year,
And each S. TO some one, Will bring
In the spring-timc come the flowers
Which with sweet perfume are laden
And in the summer are golden hours
For many youth and maiden.
In autumn the rural tints
Are beautiful, as rule,
And when that's past. and winter
1t is time to go back to school
We must not fret, If our pie
Is not always filled with plums,
! But wait patiently, and try
To take everything as 1t comes.
