THE OLD TIME SMOKE-HOUSE
(The Augusta HeraId.)

redolent with it's agreeable pungency
and making the thinnest nostrils di-
late with natural pleasure
These smoke houses on the farm are
but a memory now, except in very
rare cases. Yet they were once a
regular institution, when even the
smallest farm was equipped with its
smoke house which, though perhaps
ridely built in primitive fashion, yet
in it's principal feature, it's interior
contents, was a fair counterpart of
the smoke house in miniature on the
great plantation. But it is a pleas
ant picture which through the dis
lance of time presents it's enchantment
to memOry's eyes.
This is one of the instances where
nearness would make the view more
enchanting. Think how pleasant
would be the view, it, instead of hav~
ing to look througb the distance OF
fifty or even twenty years to see this
vision Of the farm smoke house. and
its contents which assured an album
dant supply Of the finest meat to the
family, this vision could be seen
through the glasses of the present;
of instead of a memory only these
homely but so happily utilitarian
smoke houses should be found as an
actuality on every farm.
And is it impossible that this condf-
ton should be restored? Why should
not our farmers again raise hogs,
again have busy time during hog
killing weather and again have great
jars of lard and stacks of spare ribs.

smoke rising from embers covered

CONSOLATION.
(Bessie C. Page.)

Though the sky is gray and the day is
drear,
A song in my heart sings Spring is
near"
For l know meath the brown the young
bud sleeps,
Meath grasses sere the green sward
peeps.
And so, though the day be cold and
drear,
The song in my heart sings Spring is
here!"
Though my eyes grow dim and my
thoughts are sad,
There's a song in my heart that is ever
glad;
For it knows it is true, and it comes to
stay,
To comfort, to help, to love Away.
That song in my heart-my treasure
trOVe-
The song THAT is singing God is
Love!"
