The great rest moor, was swinging
Alow in the purple east;
The robins had ceased from. singing;
The noise of the day had ceased;
The golden sunset islands
Had faded into the eky,
And warm from the sea of silence
A wind of sleep eause by,.
It came so hslnily and resting
That the treetop breathed a kiss,
And a .drowsy wood -bird, nesting,
Chirped a wee note of bliss;
;It stole over fragrant thickets
As soft as an owl could fly,
Anel .,, liinilvr <ti tJ tiny cricket..
The words of a lullaby.
'Then slowly the purple darkened,
The whispering trees were stilt,
.And the hush of the woodland hark-
ened
To r
a'n
orying whip -poor -will;
.And the moon grew whiter, and by it
The shadows lay clerk and deep;
But the gelds were empty and quiet,
For the wind had fallen asleep.

evidently, Howard."
"I'm going down to Rossville to be
married to the only _girl . worth lovin
in the world," said -Howard Gray, with
a lover's excusable exaggeration ; "but
Miss Eleanor is a charming young lady,
and I am intimate enough, to introduce
you, if ou like."
"Ala!'" said Fitzsimmons, veiling his
delight, "thank you. Fn aged, I sup-
pose ; and engaged girls are such
ores !"
"Heart free, I believe," said Howard.
"She's extremely hard to please. Well,
I'll ask her permission, and we'll call on
Saturday evening."
To marry an heiress had been Ralph's
dream ever since his whiskers began to
grow. It was the easiest way of com-
ing by a fortune of which he had ever
heard; and Ralph detested labor and
was fond of ease.
At present he was merely a clerk in
a fancy store, on a salary which was
certainly a shall one, and he had re-
solved to marry and settle as soon as
possible, whenever he could find any
one whose purse was long enough.
And now that he was actually thrown
in the way of a handsome woman, not
only young and amiable, but good-look-
ing—so said. Howard, and Howard was
a judge—iris joy knew no bounds.
"Hard to please, is site ?" said he to
himself. "Ah, well, all the better for
me. I fancy that I have a certain way
with mo that women find it difficult to
resist, and I am certainly a very handl-
some Inas--reenarkably'handsome."
"Won't I go it?" said he to himself,
as he munched his rolls and swallowed
his coffee. "I Was meant for a jolly
life, and I'll have it,"
And turning his hat sideways on his
head he hurried to "the store," where
his entt antra was greeted by an angry
glance from the .proprietor, who ad-
vanced, watch in hand, and inquired
tour tly
"Well, Mr. Fitzsimmons, are you
aware that you are fifteen minutes
late ?"
"Perfectly, sir," said Fitzsimmons,
pertly. "leffteen minutes and a half,
.Mulct me a penny, sir. About the
amount lost, I believe,"
The head of the establishment turned
purple with rage, but as the entrance of
customers prevented him from "having
it out with the young man," as he de-
sired at once, he contented himself with
howling, "No. 4, forward !" in terrific
tones, and.. Fitzsimmons, otherwise
"No. 4," did "forward" to his plane, batt
slowly, and with much dignity, when a
lady entered the store, and advancing
straight to his eounter, requested to
"look at floss silks for embroidery."
She was a tall young lady, of very in-
dependent manners, dressed plainly.
No one of any importance, of course,
Fitzsimmons decided, would shop in
sueli attire.
" What color 7" he said,'without mov-
ing, and with his hands in his pockets.
"Let me see your stock," said the
'adv.
"Can't yott tell me what yott want?"
said Fitzsimmons.
"1 Iutve told you that I wish to look
at your silks," said. the lady

The pr
a t
ice
of letting „ ca
lre
slur
with their slams at pasture is still
occasionally practised by some breed-
ers, but it is not one to be recom-
mended. The only two points that
can be urged in favor of this practise
are:
1. The saving of labor in feeding,
which, after all does not amount to
touch.
2. It is held that the exercise is
beneficial to the growth of the young
Animafs.
There is no doubt that exercise is
beneficial to all growing animals; but
cannot a sufficient amount of exercise
he obtained without ietting thein run
with their darns all day ? 1 think so,
and, to my mind, the disadvantage
far out weigh the advantage of that
system.
In the the first place, the system
is certain to result in injury to the
milking' qualities of the dams. This
takes place in all eases where the
calves are allowed to suck their
mothers, but more especially will be
found to be so where the sucking
takes place at all tin es during the
day, when there is no one at hand to
watch the proceedings; and, as the
calves grow older and stronger, they
are very apt to injure the udder by.
their persistent "bunting" in the
hopes of indueing a further flow of
milk. No,breeder of dairy,stock who
is solicitous for the welfare of his
cows would ever think of fallowing
out such a system,
The plan which I have followed,
and whieh seems to me the best, is
to have one or more small fields near
the barn for the calves to run in by
themselves. Here they can run in
the day time, from the time pasture
starts .till the flies get troublesome.
.After that I keep them in the stables
and let them out at night, till the
weather gets cold again. The bulls'
and heifers are are separated as soon
as the former show signs of being
troublesome. In addition to what
they pick up in the fields, they get.
their grain, and other rations if re-
quired, fed to them in the stable.
By having the field's near the barn,
the labor of turning out and bring-
ing in the calves is reduced to a
minimum.
Judge Gibbons of Chicago estab-
lished a precedent in a novel action
for alimony. A woman owning con-
siderable property entered an aetiori
for divorce from her busband, a
poor man unable to work. Applica-
tion on behalf of the husband for
temporary alimony and a sum for
solicitors' fees. No such precedent
could be found for such an applica-
tion on behalf of a man. In grant-
ing the demand Judge Gibbons re
viewed at length the gradual change
in the status of women from the
Homeric period to the present age of
absolute equality before the law.
