My grandfather and my father planted trees, and each fall I do the same thing That sort of thing is thrift, Peter Rabbit"
 So Again Peter Rabbit scratched long ear with long hindfoot and the puzzled look returned to his face. 'I thought, said he, that thrift is just saving things"
 ''That is one kind of thrift. That is, it is if the things saved are to be used later" replied Happy Jack. But the best kind of thrift is saw ing thing and then putting it where it will increase. That is an invest ment. l saved that nut last fall and planted it. Already it has begun to grow, and some day there will be thousands of sweet hickory-nuts from just that one. That is, there will if you don't step on it."
 'I won't" interrupted Peter has, tily, and backed away little far ther.
 "That nut was an in-est-ment", added Happy Jack.
 "Inevest-ment', repetated Peter rolling his tongue around the big the big word as if he enjoyed it. "In- vest-ment. I never have known the meaning of that word until now"
 Probably you never heard it before", said Happy Jack drily. r, "I have too heard it before" re- torted Peter. "I heard it this very omrning. Farmer Browns boy was over by the dear Old Briar-patch and heard him tell another boy that Thrift Stamps, whatever they are, are the best in-vest-vment in the world for boys and girls, and that he hoped that every boy and girl in the whole country would buw at least one during Thrift Week.

*THE OLD PINE GROVE

The old pine grove in the valley
 stands,
 A sentinel grand, from unknown
 years; :. Here camped the nomad red men
 bands,
 Who arrows left from bows and
 spears. The old school stands meath its lofty
 shade,
 Where the night-winds moan, so
 low and deep; Our fathers here with their sweet
 hearts played,
 But now in moss-strewn graves
 they sleep. That vale we love, where it's winding
 stream, Ger +cataract, out the wildwood
 leaps, And flows by hooks, where the young
 maids dream,
 An ancient grove, where vigil
 keeps. That hallow'd grove, the temple of
 God
 Where pastors preached meath
 summers sky, s. To the valley folk-some hear, some
 nod
 The ''way" by which to live, to die. Wa,,o vo;Io.%;,,,. ,,o. ; 41 e. '.
 lands,
 The joys of youth are long since past: Few mates are left but the pine
 grove stands,
 Tho scared, like us, by the war
 ring blast. We still can hear the glee and the mirth Of youth, tho forty years have
 sped; No place can like to the home of birth, Of parting tears, and loved ones dead. How time hath own with it's toiling hand,
 In lands, where glides deep Ore gon's wave, And cline with snow-capped noun tains grand,
 Shall it be here, we'll plant our grave? Tho homes are changed where our
 fathers fell, The heart will yearn and the spirit move; Like Joseph's heart for his fathers we'll, Towards the vale of the old pine grove. *By the Canaan (Conn.) schoolhouse l fCampbell Falls.

Wedding Ring Is Changed.

The wedding ring was not always plain. as we see it today. It was ire wrought with various designs. But as other rings began to be worn the we'd ding ring was made conspicuously plain. The practice, however, was long in vogue of inscribing appropriate notices on rings. The ring may be said to be symbolic. It Is of gold and lyplfies purity and refinement, where as its rotundity signifies "the round flowing of mutual love and hearty af- fection."
