wood.

That we are having fine weather for
hoeing and having needs no argument,
and that it is being we'll improved is
equally true.
But the principal events TO speak of
this week seem to be the glorious 4th,
which occurred Monday, and the dis
graceful fight which came off on the
same day. In regard tn the former, 1T
was stormy in the morning and rather
looked like rainy day; but soon ended
in thunder shower which, on passing
over, brought on windy but otherwise
favorable day. 1t was we'll calculated TO
remind one of years ago, when Mr..
Crockett built steamboat for the pur-
pose of celebrating the Fourth on what
was then called Spruce Island at Bry-
ants Pond. Then Old Boreas took the
matter in hand and made it so rough as
to spoil the celebration, and came very
near turning il into fatal disaster.
Referring to lasr Monday again, all
the family went except the old folks,
who remained at home to see to things
in general. A big crowd and good time
were reported.
In regard to the latter event, perhaps
the less said about it the better. The
bull fights allowed in Spain are often
spoken of as cruel and dem0ra!izing
but how much more so than the man
fights allowed here in our own enlighten-
ed, educated and christianized(?) coun-
try?
1t doesn't require very large hap
pening to produce passable amount OF
pleasantly. The other day trap was
set for a woodchuck; and when visited
another kind of animal was found in it,
caught by both hind legs. Reaching
home the incident was mentioned, and
then the whole family requested to
guess the animal caught; and there was
where the fun came in. Nearly every
animal, from a hedgehog down to a
grasshopper, was mentioned except the
right one, when finally our better half
said it must be frog, and so it was,
"only that and nothing more"

The LowIy but Lovely Blueberr.

Inc Lowry Dut LONSIy DiucUSiiy'
Here's to the blueberry! Dsnizen Of
the wild, lover of rough pastures and
mountains, rejecting all means of cul-
ta-e except the scorching breath of fire,
among all the fruits the most plebeian
and despised.
Perhaps not despised after all but
rather unregarded. For who would sing
the song of the blueberry? The downy
bloom of the peach, the lusciousness OF
the stra wberry, the perfume of the
apple blossom, and many other OF the
delights of the orchard and garden, have
been the theme OF poets. But who ever
wasted iambics or trochees on the
humble blueberry9
Fruit of the wilderness is the blue
berry. 1t grows only where the soil is
poor, in many places where it is 80 poor
as proverbially to be fit only to "hold
the world together" Enrich the soil
Except with fire), 80 as to encourage 1t
to a more magnificent fruitage, and 1t
sulks and dies.
Its season extends over the whole Of
the gladstone summer time. In the
merry (even il cold and backward) month
of May, it puts out its blossoms as
promise of what is to come. The early
frosts of autumn frequently find many
of the latest berries still clinging to the
stem.
Never does the blueberry appear in
the bouquets of the rich, nor will you
see it pictured in the paintings which
encourage the appetite on the walls of
the dining room in costly modern cot
tage or bungalow. Yet look at the full
hanging bush, with its fresh green
leaves and the delicate bloom on the
fruit. Did ever milliner or modste put
together such discordant colors as green
and blue, and produce such perfect har-
mony as the Creator has made in the
blueberry?
And no one has ever tasted the blue
berry's modest flavor and vowed that it
must have been the ambrosia of the gods
on Olympus. We get the tropical flavor
of the pineapple, and know that it is in
class by itself, without peer. We let
the large, rich blackberry melt in our
mouth, and can not say enough Of its
lusciousness We feast upon the straw
berry, and realize the truth of Beecher's 8
saying, that God might have made bet
ter berry than the strawberry, but He
never did. And then We taste the blue
berry
All, Jacques, did that breath of fresh,
pine scented air come in at the window?
Why, for a moment | saw the mountain
falling away from my feet, with valleys
and wooded hills beyond and cloud.
flecked sky above, an eagle soaring in
the blue, while from the bushes nearby
the white-throated sparrow, that bird of
the wilderness. voiced bis song, "Dried-
grass-1ithering-pithering-,oithering." l
almost thought was boy again.
All, perhaps you're right. 1t was the
flavor of the bluebsrry that brought it
back to me.
