AFTER THE FROST.
X blight has fallen on the corn and vino;
All dry and shriveled are thu lauco-like
leaves,
Tho grape's red cup has lost Its pungent wiiio
And stubblo tells of lately garnered sheaves.
Tlio blossoms In tho morning-chiry's ciown
llaug limp and blackened from tho trellis
side.
iJcncath the cricket sits in sombre gown
And pipes n requiem for tho flowers that
tiled.
Lone and deserted is the robin's nest,
The days aro miny since the blue-bird
flight,
And long ngo tho tiny oriole's Test
Deeper and deeper (lushed, Vermillion
bright.
0 bird I O llowerctl 0 sweet sunny hours!
O Spring of budding, longing and dcsirol
OJ Summer roses! vine-wreathed,, perfumed

Oyouthl 0 passion! (.lone whllowo aspire

Descends with blighted touch and Wintry

Tho splendor of the sutishlno ou tho hill.
Not o'en tho tender breath of early Spring

Such benediction to thu heart cau bring
As tho softest kisiu of tho harvest 111
time.
A purplo veil Is on tho land and sia,
A lotus languor in the quint air,
All red nnd yellow (lames the forest tres,
And Aiitumii's banners blazon ccrywhoro.
Uarth's mother-heart Is full to overflow)
All garner from her amplo store sho fills)
Tho vvlillu sho sits enthroned In regal show
JItr farewell smile Is ou the distant hills.

So when for us tho fair aud frail of earth

Tho bill-tops shill be bright through garden's

And pcacn and hnpo sHall crown tho Au

HOW TO CLEAR OFF THE TABLE.
Wo would like to know how many of our
little girls had rea I tht hints we glvo them

have commenced to mako that part of house
hold work oiio of tho dally duties. Wo hope
if there is, tint thoy will writ and tell us so,
it will entourage us to write moro for them,
as It is not easy to unto unless wo know it Is
read with I11ttru.1t,
After all havo lift tho table, set tho chairs
lck in thiir proper places, gather up tho
knlws and forks all in one pile, then scrapo
oir tho plates, putting tho rcfuso in ono

for soma time a statement going the rouuds of
newspapers, that the turnip used in rubbing
we griddle, while cooktug griddlo taktd,
would givo the desired aiuootbntu and do
away with tho ifupltasaut smoke. I doubUd
It, but a trill sson convinced me that th state
ment was corrtct. I found, however, that at
times, it was necessary, wheu beginning, to
put a very little gieate on tho turnip) but this
made no appreciable smoke

Another wayi Take full bunches, ripe tin

after being sealed, so as to be perfectly turo

then pack In boxes of dry saw dust, and keep
in a tool place; thty will keep nicely all Win
ter without Using their flavor; In packing, do
not crowd tht bunches; sprinkle tho saw dust
over the bottom of tho box; then lay the
grapes carfully, a bunch at a time, all over the
box, then saw dust and grapes alternately
until tho box is full.

"llut don't sond me away," she pleaded.
"It U for j our good, Nannlo, and you must

The supper bull rang at that instant, and
Nannie hastily answered t
"Y11; let mo go, Lennox," and ran out of
tho room and up stairs to her own chamber.
"les, I'll go. And I'll teach you one les

"Sliswasou thu piazza, talking with n

Lennox strode up with scarce n glance at

"Naitnlol"
She made a s eiplng curtsey, and languidly

"Ah, good eteuiug, Mr. Hay."

tllslies were washed indiscriminately. After
everything is removed from the table,
gather tho cloth carefully so as not
to crush it, shako off tho crumbs and
fold in the samu creases. Hrush the
floor, putting the broom away to as not
to havo it rest on tho brush end. Then you
aro ready for ti.o dishesi Put a little soap in
the water, which should not bo too hot, u It
tracks tho hands as well as tho dishes; wash
first the glassware, rinse in warm wat.r and
wipe with a clean towil which has no lint ou
it; then tho spoons, cups and saucers; thin
the hones, but bo careful nut to wet tho han
dles, then rub them bright and rinse oir and

kettles aro most too heavy for the Iittlo folks,
but if mother w ishes you to do it, w ash w ith
another cloth kept especially for that, as it
is nice to have two for the dishwashing bust
uts. When all thu dishes nro piled aw ay in
their pi ices, wash the tablo and sink clean,
also thu ton els aud dishcloths, aud then they
are dry by the time they are wanted again.
It is quito as necessary that the tins and cook

to do, for )ou never know at w hat unexpected

Lennox Itay sprang fro.n tho train aud
hastened up tho green lanu to tho wide, old-
fashioned farm house, carrying his valise in
his hand.
"I wonder if Nauuio got my notu aud is
looking for mo? Hallo I"
This last exclamation was drawn from Hay's
lips by a cherry, width coming from alxnu
somewhere, came into sudden contact w ith
his nose.
He looked up, and thcro, perched like a
gnat bird, upon the limb of a huge old cherry
tree, and looking dow n at linn with dancing
eyes aud brilliant thicks, wasajoung girl.
"How do, Lennox? Come up and havo somo

"Nannie I Is it ioaible 1" oxilaiincd Len

And while Hay looked on in stern disap
proval, the young witili swung htrstlf lightly
down,
"Now don't look so glum, Lennox, dear,"
the said, slipping her littlu hands into his
motion, "i know It s torn

it was always tho same, anil "that lie.
gant Miss Irving," as they styled htr, was
atwajs in demand, and poor Lennox, from tho
distiuio at which sho kept him, looked ou

Prof. Legato has just returned from a trip
into the Sierras of eighty days' duration. lit
had with him two assistants and kisown vehi
cle for the transportation cf hit instruments,
aud camped out most of tht time. Tht object
of tho professor's trip was the study f reetat
iutcrtstiug meteorological changes in tht ele
vated regions of tho Sierras. If wat led to
believe that during the present season tho
warm belt had shifted South. Ilruiniilnii at
a point just North of Lake Tnhoe, the snow
has not melted away as in former years.
1 here are now banks of suow from fiO to 100
feet In depth at points where heretofore at
this season uo snow has lain. Nearly tht
whole of this suow will remain where It now
lies until tho snows of Winter again sst in.
Up towanl the head waters of the North Fork
of the Yuba river, where no snew Is usually
seen at this season, it has but little more then
begun to disappear. In that place are to be
ecu hugn Kinks of snow, under which flow
thu waters of tho stream, forming arches or
natural bridges 100 feet It height, and from
200 to .100 feot in -vidth.
It was for tho purpose of asctrtalninir the
causa of this remarkable change of ellmate
that l'rof. Legate went on his expedition into
tho mountains. 'Ihrough the resultsobtained
by olucrintlons made at many points with
various delicate instruments, but principally
by means of careful thermometries! tests, tht
professor has established tho fact that thtrt
has occurred in the range of tht Sierra Nevada
mountains this season a grand isothermal
change. Jlo limls.that tht warm current of
air which over since the settlement of Califor
nia by Americans nnd probably ages before
has moved upward from the Paiillo aealioaril
totheSIirrn Nevada mountains and thenco
turned aud flowed to tho Northward along the
West side of the main ridge of the range, thus
giving to all regions in that direction a warm
climate, no longer moves in that direction. It
now comes up from tho side of tho ocean mid
iMitirs Kastwanl directly across the crest tf tht
Sierras near Lako Taline.
l'rof. Legato has satisfied nimself that this
svonilirful ihanco, which Is Having all the
Northern parts of thu Sierras buried In snow.
Summer aud Wiutir, Is canned by the denuda
tion of timlivr which thu mountains havo suf
fered throm-h a bolt heL'ililiihir at I Jikn Talma
and extending somo i.0 miles Southward.
Through thu gap thus left by thu sweeping
away of the forests now flows the warm cur
rent of air which formerly moved with tome-

This is tho oldest and was originally the

Tho tlmo is rijieulng, if not n'p, for n union
of farmers on a broad basis of fellow ship and

thu building of thu temple to the llanseatin
confederation and guilds and trades unions of

is not a postulate, that in union theru is

unity and momentum in furthering measures
advantageous to their class, the farmers hnvu

LORD MONTKOURES
When the assasiuutimi of Iird Mont
moires occurred, the view consoled nbmad
eoiieeriiiiig him was to the effect that he had
been a hard and tyrannical absentee landlord,
grinding down his t mints, refusing to listen
to nny apjieals, and generally brutal and over
lieiriiig. Tho fatts, however, are so essential
ly ililfcitnt that it seems neciessary to state
tin in. Thu unfortunate i oble i an was one of
tlioiui jKOpIo whoso ossesion of a title stems
u satiru iihiii their position. Mis estate was
so small thut it brought him in no mere than
tiTOO a year. His manor house was only u
superior sort of cottage. He was sojioor that
