IN THE NEST.
Gather them close to your lovinj; heart
Cradle them to your breast;
They'll soon enough leavo your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youth's topmost stair
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that tho children's hearts aro gay,
That their restless fcot will run
There may come n timo in tho by-and-by
When you'll sit iuyour lonely room and sigh
For a sound of childish fun;
Then you'll wait for a repetition sweot,
That sounded through each room,
Of "motherl mother!" the dear lovo calls,
That will echo long through tho silent halls;
And add to their stately gloom.
Thcro may bo a timo when you'll long to hear
Tho eager, boyish tread,
Tho tuneless whistle, tho clear, shrill shout,
Tho busy bustlo in and out,
And psttcring overhead,
When tho boys and girls aro all grown up,
And scattered far and wido,
Or gone to tho undiscovered shore,
Whoro youth and ago como uovermorc,
You will mits them from your side.
Then guthcr thsm to your loving heart,
Cradlo them on your breast,
.They'll soon enough leavo your brooding care,
Soon enough mount youth's topmost stair
Littlo ones in tho nest,
Lifo counts not hours by joys or pangs
Hut Just by duties done,
And whon I lio in tho green kirk-yard,
With tho mould upon my breast,
Say not that "sho did well or ill"
Only: "Sho did her best."

ing of tho first layer should bo flavored

A great many, in potting bulbs, aro
desirous of bringing thorn forward for
the holidnys in midwinter, and this mny
bo accomplished by potting eomo earlier
for this purpose, allowing six weeks for
rooting and a fortnight for tho buds to
open, and if they maturo beforo, tho
flowers of any of them will remain fresh
nnd fair for a long timo if left in a cool,
dimly lighted room. Tho Komnn hya
cinth can bo brought to bloom nioro
quickly thnn others, tho flowers aro
smaller, whito, and several spikes from
each bulb. A six-inch pot is n suitablo
sizo for a hyacinth bulb, nnd will do for
three of narcissus or tulips. Tho first
should bo only partly covered with soil,
tho last two or three inchos below tho
surface, and thou watered nnd set in a
cool, dark placo several weeks, nnd in
this timo thoy rnrcly need watering but
a generous libation on returning to tho
light. When they seem inclined to
bloom without sending up tho flowor
Btom, n cono of brown paper placed over
them a fow days will romody this do
feet. Whon using glass for hyacinth,
tho water should bo replenished whon
getting below tho.rootlets, and if slimy
should bo ronowed. Altogothcr, tho
cultivation of bulbs is pleasant and
scarcely with loss, as thoy aro most en
during nnd quickly respond to generous
treatment, and their numbors incroaso
rapidly.
Tho olcomnrgarino manufacturers
havo gained nnothcr victory in tho legal
strugglo to regulato tho buttcrino trnlllc
in Now York. Tho Court of Appeals in
that Stato has declared tho law to bo
unconstitutional that prohibits tho man
ufacturers of olcomnrgarino from color
ing it in imitation of genuino butter.
This decision will givo n'tl and comfort
to a cluss of manufacturers whoso busi
ness is about to bo handicapped by tho
enforcement of tho Federal legislation
of August 2, nnd it will encourngo tho
hopo among tho buttorino interests in
Pennsylvania that tho question of tho
constitutionality of tho Anti-Oleomar-
garino law may bo similarly decided.
Pending tho announcement of tho Sit
preiro Court decision ono way or tho
other, tho dealers in buttcrino in this
Stnto aro in a quandary. Thoy aro re
luctant to tako out tho costly Federal
licouso lest tho salo of tho product oven
with that sanction should ho in conllict
with tho Stato law; and yet if thoy do
not provido themselves with this author
ity, nud nlllx tho uoces.-ary stamps to
their property, their continunuco in tho
business will bo at tho risk of prosecu
tion nnd tho forfeiting of their goods in
accordance with tho provisions of tho
national law. Tlio Stato Supreme Court
should reach a decision in tho cases be
foro thorn as soon as possible, and there
by relievo tho largo numbor of erfoiifi
interested from tho embarrassing posi
tion in which they hnvo been placed by
the conflicting laws.
Swcet-Mlnaed Women.
So great is tho influence of a sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almo3t boundless. It is to her
that friends como in season of sickness
and sorrow for help and comfort. Ono
soothing touch of her kindly hands
works wonders in tho feverish child. A
fow words let fall from hor lips in tho
enr of tho sorrowful sister do much to
rniso tho load of griof that is bowing its
victim down to tho dust in anguish.
Tho husband comes homo worn out
with tho pressure of business, and feel
ing irritablo with tho world in general ;
but when ho outers tho cosy sitting
room and hcos tho blaio of the firo and
meets his wifo's smiling face, ho suc
cumbs in a moment to tho southing
influences, which acts as tho balm of
Gilcad to his wounded spirit. Wo aro
all wearied with combating tho realities
of life. Tho rough school-boy flies in a
rago from tho taunts of his companions
to find solnco in a mother's smile. Tho
littlo ono, full of grief with its own
largo troublo, finds a haven of rest on
its mother's breast. And so ono may
go on with instances of tho influence a
sweet-minded woman has in tho social
lifo with which sho isconnectod. Ueauty
is an insignificant power when compared
to hf r's.
Sulphur nnd old tobacco leaves burned
in tho poultry-house, tho houo being
closed perfect! tight, will clean out tho

GRANDMOTHERS PARTY.
My grandmother gavo mo a party,
'Twas in tho old fashioned blue-room;
Uicli guest wore a long gingham nprou.
And carried a dust-pan and broom.
Sho taught its to march just liko soldiers;
Wo had to stand up very straight,
And "present arms" tho moment tho mid no
(Our bullets wcro cakos vthiih wo ate.)
Wo cooked our own supper together;
It was candy, with nut meats stirred in,
And cookies cut out with a thimble,
All pricked round tho top with a pin,
Then sweet Ratio Orccu crack'd tho chestnuts,
(There wero lots of tho meats piled high;)
Wo och hail an applo turnover
(I liko them much better than pie.)
Oh, tho games wo all played I cant mcntionl
Thcro wcro moro than a dozen, I guess ;
And uono of us had any m!hp,
Except Nellio Drown toro her dress.
My grandma can tell such nico stories
(Thoy'ro nicer than any you read).
How ono day sho was lost in a coal-pit,
And thoy found her by seeing her hoad.
Sho was nauphty onco when sho was little,
Sho cut olT her hair just for spito;
And then thcro was company for dinner
0, didn't sho look liko a fright I
Sho usod to lio down by tho fireplace,
And onco her dress got all on tiro;
Then onco whon sho crossed tho swamp pas
ture, She sank to her knees in tho mire.
Yes, wo had a nico timo at tho party
At least I know I had, for one.
Tho others said nothing about it,
1 s'poso they went home when 'twas done.
Yes, I a'poso well you see, I was sleepy,
I sat in tho great corner chair,
I shut my eyes 'c.iuso thoy wero tired,
When I woko thcro was nobody thcro,
Jack thought ho'd tosso mo next morning,
Hut grandma Just satdt "Never mind,"
She's a darling to gtvo mo that partv,
And sho'a always so pleasant and kind,
OUR LETTER BOX.
Wo nro glad to boo tho letters coming
in. Most of our young folks havo start
ed in to tho winter schools nnd tho lot
tcr writing will como easier for them to
do. Those who do hnvo tho privilcgo
of school nnd good teachers ought to im
provo such opportunities. Sonic locali
ties aro not favored in regard to schools,
ns in tho nowcr settled parts of tho
countiy. Wo nro snro our rendors try
to learn, nnd try to bohavo woll ; thcro
aro sonio childton, some who mo not
old enough to know bottor, who think
it is smart to annoy tho teacher, who do
and say things which havo a bad iiillu
enco on tho younger scholars. livery
boy or girl has a souso of what is right
and just; each should respect tho feel
ings and rights of another, tho stronger
should protect tho weakor. It should
not bo nccesnry that a tfuchor should
bo compelled to punish a scholar by
whipping; per.-onal chnstUomcnt is cal
culated to hauleu tho sensibilities, and
neither patents or teachers should pun
ish by whipping unless some vory hard
ened case. Tho habits and ways ac
quired in childhood follow ovcry ono in
after life, and it is a pity when ono has
only n lifo of hard treatment to look
hack upon. Parents nro not apt to re
ali.o that reproofs should not bo admin
istered in tho presence of others, a sen-
siblo child will become hardened and
will loso rcepoct nnd lovo for them.
Mary honds a rulo for making cake,
which must bo good for these times
when eggs nro not plentiful.
Itoscllu does well for the first timo ,
wo hopo sho will como again, trying to
do hotter each time sho writes.
John is ono of our tegular contributors
nnd hopo his letter will influcucp somo
other boys to sond something to tho let
tor box. Hoys aio not, as a general
thing, as apt to writo as tho girls. Can
anyono givo a jeason for this fact?
Aunt Hottyhas a partiality for boys,
sho never meets one but tho looks nt his
bright happy oyos, nnd loves to hear his
cheery light-hearted whistle as ho sights
somo other boy; all thoso boys mo
bound to grow up and bo men ;
thoy must tako our places in tho great
world ; borne will perhaps bocomo dis
tinguished and somo may eink in tho
world's conflict. Hat hh a rule, tho hon
orable, straight forward boys, those who
hnvo tho moral courage to staid up for
right nnd for right principles, they will
bo leaders umf will havo tho confidence
of good people. Everything depends on
beginning right start out right and a
good namo soon follows tho reputation.

dcr, flavor with lemon, bnko in pio tins ;
tho cream : Ono quart of milk, threo
cups sugar, two tablespoonfuls flour,

question : When and by whom wos

what was tho first messngo sent ovor it?
Tho ono who unsworn this I will send

Yours truly, Mauy.
