THE DEPARTURE.
Physician and Surgeon,
Oft when a train moves by w e feel regret
To see the faces yass, although unknown;
While who may toll the heart's uuuttercd moan
O’ er one dear face that, v. hen we e’en forget
The olliers all, stuya with us, vivid yet
By features, smiles and words, which, having
flown
About us like pet birds, their each sweet tone
And look are ever in our pathway met;
8o when of two one leaves the House of Time,
Tiie other, waiting, cannot help but grieve
For the lost friend, to whom in sorrow’ s clime
Each memory in its loneliness must cleave,
While the sad eoul tries ¿tyough its requiem
rhyme
A few tear glistening strains of hope to weave.

Felicia Dorothea Hemans.
When Felicia Dorothea Hemans
was a little girl only 13 years old,
she had a volume of poems ready
for publication, and very, very ex­
cellent poems they were, too, noblo
of thought and sweetly reverent.
What could be sweeter than her
way of describing mother love :
There ia non«
In all this cold and hallow world, no fount
Of depp, strong, deathless lor«, save that within
A mother’s heart.

Some claim that It Is quite natural
for a hen to remain on the nest for a
long time while laying sometimes for
several hours; that It Is hard work ami
they need a long rest after laying.
Close observation for two seasons past
convinces us that a hen In proper con­
dition wanta to leave the neat, get a
drink a.id go to acrati blng very aoon
after she lays. When our hens are
ready to leave the neat Inside o f half
an hoar after entering, we are satisfied
they are In good laying condition. If
they stay on for one, two or three
hours, we believe It Is because they are
either too fat. conattpatad or going
broody. A good layer seldom wanta to
■tay on tbe neat longer than a half
hour. She baan't time. She muat get
ready for tha next dnv.
