THE MOSS KOSE.
Beneath a rose, as morning broke,
An angel from his sleep awoke.
I'lcaicdwith tho Ihwor nbovo his head,
So fIr and beautiful, ho caid :
"Thy fragrance and thy cooling ahado
Havo doubly sweet my slumbers mado.
Faltctt of flowers on earth that grow,
Ask what you will and I'll bostow."
"Grant, then," she cried, "I'll ask no more,
Somo charm no flower has known before!"
Tlio angel first seemed at a loss,
Then clothed the bush in simplo moss.
And, lo! tho mots roso stood confessed,
And lovelier far thau all tho rest.
John Slilticdl.
"Tlioy talk about o woman's sphere,
As though it had a limit ;
There's not a placo in earth or heaven,
Thcro's not a tf sk to mankind given,
Thero'j not a blessing or a woo,
Thcro's not a whispered yes or no,
Thcro's not n life a death, or birth,
That has a feather's weight of worth,
Without a woman "In it."
CHOICE RECIPES.

Keep a Diary.
When tho beginning of tho new year
comraonco keeping a diary in rocord of
tho stato or condition of iho weathor us
it is overy day. Thon no.t to this keep
a record of what you do each day. You
will lo surprised to see iiow much
satisfaction it will bo to look over after
wards. Tho time -required to keep up a
record will bo found to bo very small.
By it you can fceo very littlo troublo at
what timo you were nblo to ow oats,
plant corn, potatoes or cauo j how early
or lato you made your garden, when
your wheat was ready to harvest, and a
hundred other interesting items of in
formation that you can refer back to. It
will aid in keeping up a rotation on
tho farm, and will show how tho sea
sons average ono with tho other. Kach
year this record will bocomo more valua
ble, as by it wo will bo better ablo to plan
for the future It only needs lo bo
fully tried in order to bo fully appreciated.
Tho best of all rules for successful
house-keeping and to mnko both ends of
tho year meet is, "pay as you go," Uc
yond all countries in tho world, ours is
tho ono in which tho credit system is
the most used and tho most abused.
Pass books are tho bnuo and pest of
domestic economy a prepctual plague,
vexation and swindle. Abused by t-ei-vnnts
at tho sloro and house, disputed
constantly by housekeepers and dealer,
they aro a temptation to both parlies to
do wrong "I novor had that." "Wo neg
lected to outer this,, "I forgot to bring
tho book." "Novor mind wo will make
n nolo of it," nnd so it goes. Hut tho
worst of it is that housokcopers nro
templed to order what tlioy lmvonol tho
moans to pay for, ami when the timo for
settlement comes they aro straitened.
A family can livo respectably on a very
moderate income, if they always toko the
cash in hand and buy whero they can
to tho best advantage. Then tlioy will
bo cstroful first to get what is necessary.
Extra comforts can bo had as they can
afford them, lint it is bad policy to
buy on credit. Xo wiso dealer sells as
cheaply on credit as on cosh. llcart

The Crookod Troo.
"Such a cross old woman as Mrs.
Barnes is! I never would send her jolly
or anything clso again," said Molly
Clapp, selling hor basket hard down on
tho table. "Slio never oven said 'thank
you,' but 'sot tho cup on tho table, child,
and don't knock ovor tho bottles. Why
don't your mother como hoivclf, instead
of sending you? I'll bo dead ono of
theso days, and then sho'll wish alio had
been a littlo more neighborly.' I never
want to go thcro again, and shouldn't
think you would."
"Molly! Molly ! como quick and sco Mr.
Daws straighten tho old cherry tree I"
called Tom through tho window. And
old Mrs. Barnes was forgotten as Molly
How out ovor tho green to tho next yard.
Her mother watched with a good deal
of interest iho efforts of two etout men,
as, with stout ropes, tlioy stove to pull
tho crooked trco this way nud tunt; but
it was of no uso.
"It's as crookod as tho letter S, and
has bcon for twenty years. You're just
twenty years loo late, Mr. Daws," said
Joo, as ho drooped tho ropo and wiped
tho sweat from his face.
"Mother," said Mollic, as eho stood by
tho window again at her mother's sido,
"I know now what is tho matter with
old Mrs. Haines. Sho needn't try to bo
plcaRantaud kind now, for hIio's hko tho
old treo; it's twenty years too late."
"It's novor too late, with God's help,
to try to do hotter; hotter: but my little
girl must begin now to keep back harslr
words and unkind thoughts. Thon she
will novor havo to say, as Joo said about
tho treo, 'It was twenty years too late."

Farm Llfo lor Younc Men.
Thoro is no occupation so grand, so
noble, and that which makes ouo so
independent as farming. It gives you
an opportunity for mental culturo
during tho winter, nnd physical strength
dining tho summon It is a homo when
good morals can bo cntcitaiuod without
tlio.Hi alluromcnts which are always
predominant in city life.
1 lo who till- the siol is engaged in an
honorable occupation. Agriculture is
tho grcntu.-t among the arts, for it is
firit in Mipp'ying our necessities; it
favors and (trengthens population ; it
croalc and maintains manufactures;
gives employment lo navigation and
materials to commerco. It is alio tho
strongest Iwnd of well regulated wicioty,
tho surest bar-is of internal peace, tho
natural nsocialo of good moral. So the
young man who de.shes to leave tho
farm and go out into the wide woild fur
hiinsolf, perhaps to somo far off city, or
somo spot on his native land, uhore he
imagines there will Ihj a paradise opo-i
for hint; Mich n step in life should be
well considered beforo taken.
It is a good thing to lit yournolf for n
lawyer, a doctor, or a minister, but it is
a better thing to know Unit you can bo
one. loung men, tavoreu with every)
oppoitunity lor enjoyment at home, nnd
not overworked, imagino that tlioy can
do far letter than to' guido the ox, or to
turn tho stubborn glebo. And, with the
uiorcst trifle of consideration, the hands
are withdrawn from the implements of
agriculture and given to the oflico or
tho shop work of tho city. And thus
thousands of young nun nro uttorly
ruined. If they would only stop und
think, "What can I mako of myself?"
Thoquotiion, "To what is my ability
mostly adapted?" Then they might go
forward into life's journey with a Utter
prospect of success.
"Kvor lomember," writei (Joldthwait,
'that for health and substantial wealth,
for rare opportunities, for mlf-iuiproo
ment, for long life and teat dependeno
farming is the bent laziness in the

OUR LETTER BOX,
There aro many letters still on hand
and each ono must bo patient for their
turn will surely como aftor awhile. Aunt
Hetty thinks that thoro is much im
provement to he seen ; there is moro
variety in tho contents of each one.
This is good to .see, but thcro is room for
improvement still. There is no subject
moro iutercbtiug thau Natural History,
and no ono has hotter advantages to
study tho ways anil habits of birds, ani
mal!) and insects, than our own littlo
readers of tho Homo Circle. Thcro
need bo no timo wasted in doing it cither
for somo day your bright eyes will
catch sight of n shy littlo bird which is
beginning to build its uesl. Look again
and thcro is another holpiug, and oh,
what n noisy littlo pair tlioy are, Hying
too and fro with hits of thread that
mamma has swept away, long coarse
hair from old Jack's mane: little bits of
sticks aio woven in with long grass and
finally it is lined with soft feathers and
boforo many weeks thcro aro three or
four littlo wide open mouths so wide
aro their mouths that tlioy seem all
mouth : and thou indeed do the littlo
house keepers have to work to catch tho
bugs and Hies to satisfy tho littlo goi-
inawK Kach specie of birds havo their
own way of building, and its curious to
r-tudy tho various habits of each. Now
this is a hint of only the hundu's of
interesting ttudies (if Nature ami we
hope to hear, boforo the summer is gone,
all about tho blue jays nest, and the
crows, too. They aro a black coated lot
but they always t-ooui m neighborly
with each other and lovo to sit in a rov
on tho fence.

somo questions, tho word reverend
occurs only once in tho Bible, which
is in tho Oth verso of Iho 11th

think thcro wore 107 sheep. Tho answor
to Clydo's, fill tho five gallon, nud from
that tho three gallon barrel, thus leaving
two gallons in tho llvo gallon barrel,
then empty the thrco gallons into tho
eight gallon barrel, thon pour tho two
gallons, from tho llvo gallon barrel, in
to tho thrco gallon barrel, thon fill tho
llvo gnllon barrel, and pour ono
gallon into tho thrco gnllon barrel, thus
thcro were four gallons in tho llvo gallon
barrel, threo in tho three gallon barrel,
and ono in tho eight gallon barrel, thon
pour tho thrco gallons into tho eight

TIIE PUZZLE BOX
Wo aro under obligations to friend
"F." who has taken an interest in this
corner. Wo would liko to cultivate a
disposition nniong tho young pcoplo to
study enigmas and puzzles ; to dig out
theso hidden meanings. It sharpons
wit and quickens tho intellect. Wo
would liko to placo beforo thoni ques
tion which shall call out good ideas and
thoso sort of puzzles and conundrums
that aro calculated to elovato and in
struct. F. explains this week how to
work that Alphabetical l'uzzlo and no
doubt that many of tho older heads will
bo interested iu knowing how it wna
dono, as it seems adapted to mnturcd
minds. Tho Alphabetical Arithmetic is
explained ns follows :
MOO)TIPLXYK(MYKXC
(1) TKM
(1) OOLX N
(.'!) OTOU
(1) OMCY
(o) oorx
(fl) KMI3
(7) MOO
(8) MOL
(0) an
(10) EX
Each letter represents a number or
from 1 to 1) and aftor tho i) write 0 flms :
figure. Wo first write u lino of numbers
1 2 II l 0 (1 7 8 0 0
0 O 111' h J3 X I T Y
And studying tho work wo find from (2)
that in tho quoliont Y z 0, bccmiso two
letters (figures) L and X aro brought
down showing that whou L wan brought
down tho partial dividend was contained
in tho divisor 0 tinios. So wo put tho
Y under 0 iu tho lino of numerals.
Then from (7) wo havo iu tho quoliont
C - I for MOC.lho divisor, x In MOO,
and wo put 0 under 1 in the lino ot num
erals. From (2) nnd (!!) wo havo CO for
ovidontly 1 was borrowed from 0 to en
able us to subtract T from C. Then 0
would bo 2 and C would bocomo 11 ;
then T from 1 1 would leave 0 or 2, so
T iiniHt bo I). Also in (1) P is L greater
than M for M from P loaves 1 (0) and
wo set M P asido (0) for future uso. In
tho somo way wo havo from (2) and (tt)
EX which wo also set asido (10). From
(I) and (fi) wo have OM nnd (0) makes
it OMP, to under 1, 2, !l. and .l'wo havo
COMP I () and (7) M from E leaves
M. Sinco M is .'1 E must bo fl, and by
tho aid of (10) wo find E nud X stand
for (5 and 7 and wo placo them thoro.
Now wo have all but two letters of tho
key and can very easily work thorn out
or guess them, for whou wo look it over
we seo itinu't bo tho word "complexity."
To verify tho work Mibitituto tho num
ber of each lettter for the. letter in tho
divisor and dividend, work out Iho ex
ample and compute lesults.
