WO,
This world I deem
But a'beautiful dream
Of shadows that are not what they seem ;
Whose vieieas rise
Giving dim surmise
01 that which shall meet our waking eya.
Arm of the t.ord
Creating Word I
Whose glory the shout aides record t
Where stands Thy Name
In scrolls of flame
'Meath the firmament's high -shadowing frame 1
I gaze overhead
Where Thy hand peth spread
For the waters of heaven their oryetal bed ;
And stored the dew,
In its depths of blue,
Which the fires of the sun came tempered through.
Soft they shine
Through that pure shrine ;
Ae benoath'the veil nt Thy flub divine
- Shines forth the light
That were else too bright
Foe tho teebleneee of a sinner's eight, •
I gaze aloof
On the tissued roof
Where time P'n1 space are the warp and woof,
Which the King of Binge
Like a curtain flange
O'er the dreadfulness of eternal things.
A tapestried tent
To shade no meant
lorem the bare everlasting firmament ;
Where the glow of the skies
Comae Eft to our eyes
'Meath a vell ct mystical imegerlee 1
But could I see,
As in truth they be,
The glories of heaven that encompass me,
I should tightly hold•
The tieeued fold
01 that marvellous curtain of blue and gold.
Soon the whole,
As a parchment aeroll,
Allan before my amazed eight uproll ;
And without a screen
At ono beret bo Been
Tho Presence wherein I hese ever been.
But who may bear
The blinding glare
Of the Majesty that eball be there ?
What eye may gaze
On the unveilen blaze
Of the ligbt•girded throne of the Ancient of Days ?

A Little Shop -Girl,
'' She's an old darling," said Grace Crax-
all, " and I mean to help her all I can. I've
got a beautiful recipe for chocolate eclairs,
and on Friday evening I am going there to
make up all that I oan, so that the school
children will buy them on Saturday. I
know how to make cinnamon apple tarts,
too, and lemon drop3 and cocoanut balls."
Grace I do believe you have taken leave
of your sense," said Medora May. " One
would think it was.d'sgrace enough for Aunt
Deborah—our own mother 's sister—to open
a horrid little huckster ehop without oar
mixing ourselves up in the affair."
"But Aunt Debby must live, you know,"
said Grace, who was perched, kitten•fashion, •
on the window•aill, feeding the canary with
baits of sparkling white sugar. "And Cous•
in Nixon couadu't keep her any longer, and
her eyes are not strong enough for fine
needlework, and her education has not fit-
ted her to be a teacher, and her poor old
rheumatic bones keep her from going be-
hind a counter or entering a factory. I
suppose you wouldn't be willing to have
her come and live with you?"
"I 1'' cried Medora. '' Do you suppose I
want to proclaim to the whole town net I
have such a dilapidated old relation as
that ?"
" I would take .her quick enough," said
Grace, "if 1 didnt board with Mrs, Howitt,
and share the little up -stairs back room
with the two children. Just wait until I
.harry some rich man," she added, with a
sandy uplifting of her auburn brows, " and
then see if I don't furnish up a stately apart-
ment for Aunt Deoby ?"
"Don't talk nonsense," said Madera
acidly. "It's very likely, isn't it, that a
factory girl like you is going to marry a
riohman?'
(trace Crux ell laughed merrily. All
through life she and her cousin, Medora
May, had agreed to differ on most points.
Grace seeing no other career before her had,
on the death of her last surviving parent,
cbeorfully entered e i story, while Medora,
taking her stand on he platform of a false
gentility, had dono line sewing and silk
embroidery on the sly to support herself,
putting on all the airs of a young lady of
fashion the while, And now Aunt Deborah
May, to the infinite disgust of her aristo-
cratically inclined niece, had actually open-
ed a little low -windowed shop in a shady
street just out of the main thoroughfare,
and, as Medora despairingly expressed it,
" &woce into trade 1"
Her Aunt Debby, in her bewildered lone -
linens, had scarcely known what to do until
brace Craxall came to the rescue with her
hopeful courage and straightforward com-
mon -setae.
a' I only wiah it wasn't sinful to take a
dose of laudanum and put myself out of the
way," sighed the poor old lady.
' Now, Aunt Debby, that doesn't sound
a bit like you," said Grace cheerfully,
"But what am 1 to do ?" said Aunt De-
borah.
s' What eau you do?" said Grace,
"I don't know as I am good for anything,"
said the old lady with a quiet tear or two,
" except to help around the house, and I
ain't strong enough for regular hired help.
Year uncle always used to say I was a
master -hand at making bread."
"Then make it," brightly interrupted
Grape,
Eh ?" said Aunt Debby.
"There's a nice little store to lot on Bay
Street," went on Grace, " for ten dollars a
month."
"But"I haven't got ten dollars a month,"
feebly interrupted Aunt Debby.
"I'll lend it to you," said Grace, "out
oi' the wages I have saved, And there's a
pretty bedroom at the back of the shop, and
a clean, dry basement under it, where you
can bake your bread. I know, for the
sister of the lady where I board is looking
for dress -malting rooms, and I heard her
speaking about it."
" Do yon mean to open a bakery ?" said
bewildered Aunt Debby.
Not exactly that," explained Grace.
Hut if Mre, Hewitt, or Mrs, Taylor, or any
of the ladies around here could get real
home-made bread, such as you make, do
you suppose they would put up with the
.our stuff they get at the baker shops?
And you could easily get up a reputation on
your raisin oakee, and fried crullers, and
New England pumpkin pies. N.rw couldn't
you ?''
The old lady brightened up a little.
" I need to be pretty good at cooking,"
said she. " And if you think I could sap -
port tureen e0 ..,
"1 am sure of It 1" pried cheerful Grace.
"And 1'll go there with you this very day
to look at the place, and will engage it for
three months on trial, And I oan paint
you a sign to pat over your door. " Home-
made bread be Mrs, Deborah May 1" And
I'll hem you eomd curtains and arrange the
shelves in the low window 1 I almost wish
I was going t-1 be your shop girl," she added
merrily. " But I can help you. in the even-
ing you know 1"
Grace Craxall's prophecies proved correct,
Aunt Debby's delicious home-made broad,
whiter than powdered liltiea, sweat as am-
brosia, soon acquired a reputation, and the
old lady could scarcely bake it feat enough.
People name half a dozen blocks to buy the
yellow pumpkin pies and delicious apple
tarts; children brought their hoarded
pennies to invest in chocolate eweetme ate,
vairilla caramels, and Dream cakes with
puffy sbella and delicious oentres of sweet-
ness. The little money -drawer grew fat
with coins, and Aunt D.bhy's dim eyes
grew bright and hopeful again.
And one day Mr. Herbert Valance, walk-
ing by with Medora May, stopped and look-
ed in.
"Isn't that your cousin Grace," said he,
" behind the counter ?'
Medora turned crimson with vexstion.
" My' cousin C race ?" she said. " No,
indeed 1 We are not—in trade."
What poessesed her to utter this deliber-
ate falsehood Medora could not afterward
have told. Partly the sting of false shame,
partly a disinclination for Mr. Herbert
Valance to know that her relations were,
to use her expression, " not ladies and
gentlemen,"
Mr, Valance'lookod up at the sign over
the door.
"The name is May," he remarked in-
differently.
" Yes," said Medora, angry at herself
blushing so deeply, "bat we are no re-
lation."
Mr. Valance thought over the matter;
he afterward met Mies May at a party given
by a friend, where pretty Grace Craxall
was a'so present; he had 'taken rather a
fancy to the bright blue eyes and delicate
blonde beauty of,the former. Valance Hall,
on the hill just out of the city, was solitary
enough, now that his detain had all mar-
ried and gone away, and perhaps a man
might find a less attractive and graceful
wife than Medora May. But he onuld not
bo mistaken, he thought, in Grano Craxall's
identity.
And so the next evening, about the same
time, he sauntered into the shLp.
Grace was behind the daintily -clean little
counter, taking soma newly -baked maple
caramels oft the pan, She looked up with
a smile.
"Good even'ng,, Mr, Valance," said she.
"So," he thought, "I wasn't mistaken
after all. And the little blue-eyed seraph
is mortal enough to tell a lie in spite of her
angelic appearance 1"
But he looked serenely at Grace.
"I didn't know you were in trade,"
said he.
" Didn't you ? Well," retorted Grace,
" 1 am my Aunt Daborah'e shop -girl at
present. 1 always come here in the even-
ings to help her, because," she added, with
a sweet shade of seriousness coming over
her face, " aunt was old and poor. and she
didn't quite know how to maintain herself
in independence ; and, unfortnnately, my
wagea�at the factory are nob enough for us
both. So I advised her to open this business,
and she did, and ahe'n doing well ; and she
. bakes the meet delicious bread and pies you
ever ate, so," with a saucy twinkle under
her eyelashes, " if you know of any custom-
ers, will you please recommend our firm ?"
"To be sure I shall," he answered In the
same spirit. " And I am very glad, Mies
Craxal., to sae that you are not ashamed
of being a working, girl."
"Of course I am not," said Grace.
" Why should I be ?"
"Eat your cousin Medora is,"
Grace gave a little shrug of her shoulders.
" Very likely," said she. " Medora and
I differ in many things.''
Mr. Valance bought a pound of caramels,
and went away,
" She is a beauty," he said to himself.
" And she is a sensible beauty into the
bargain. One of those rare creatures in cur
country, a thoropghly well-balanced girl."
He must have been well pleased with his
purchase, for ho came again the next oven -
log, just in time to walk home with • Grace
^Craxall. And they talked over Aunt De-
borah's affairs, and conoluded as flour was
low j, rat then, it would be a favorable op.
portunity for the old lady to lay in her
winter stock through Mr. Valance, who
was acquainted with one of the great To-
ronto grain merchants.
Only a few weeks had elapsed when Me-
dora May was electrified to learn that her
cousin Grace was engaged.
" To some master baker or journeyman
confectioner, I suppose," she said con-
tomptuonsly.
" No," said Grace. with eyes roguishly
sparkling, " to Mr. Herbert Valance."
"I—don't—bodeve—it," said Medora,
growing red, then pale. •
" Bat it's really so," said Grace. " And
we are to be married in three months. And
Aunt Dobby is to come to the hall and live
with me as soon as she oan dispose of her
business to advantage. And, dear Medora,
I hope you will often come and visit me
there."
Medora May did not answer. She could
not, But in her secret heart she recognized
how infinitely more succeseful in life's lists
had been Grace's true, frank honesty, than
her own subtle and devious Douro.
Like many another, however, the lesson
had come to her too late.
"Do you think, mamma," said a 1•ttlo
one, "that Uncle Reuben is a good man and
will go to heaven?" "I think so, my child.
Why do you ask ?" "Oh, nothing much,"
waking from a sort of reverie ; " I was
thinking what a funny looking angel he
would make—that's ail,"
VIA
THE FARM.
The Poultry Yard. `
The fall work in the poultry yard does
not amount to much, but it very import-
ant that what little work there is to be dono
should be dono properly, and at the right
time. That is the little things about the
oars and management of poultry, which, if
tended to properly, keep the fowls in euoh
good condition and thrift,
Above all thing's do not neglect cleant'.
nese; for fowls will keep healthier and is
better condition on meager quantities of
coarse food with cleanliness, than if fed on
the beet and most nourishing food If en-
tombed in filthy quarters. Clean the house
often and scatter plenty of dry earth and
fresh sand around the house and under the
roosts, Clean dirt surely is cheap, but be-
comes quite valuable when applied for this
purpou .
Cara bestowed upon poultry is not lost by
any means, as some persona seem to think,
for the fowls appreciate kindness and care
very quick in retaining favors is the shape
of nine fresh eggs, The better the cars and
the more varied the food, the bettor will be
the results, and the more profitable they
will be to their owner.
There is at present a great deal of inter-
est manifested in the rearing of Bantams,
The smallest specimens are considered the
beet, being the hardest to obtain. The
praotioe followed by moat breeders seems
very cruel, to say the least. They do not
set the hens until very 1 ate in the season, so
that the chicks will only be partlygrownwhen
the cold weather comes. This will serve
to stunt their growth more or lees, and this
is just what the breeders want to accom-
plish. Besides this, they are oftentimes
very scantily fed for the same reason, it be-
ing very desirable to have them as small as
possible. They make beautiful little pets,
and are much more profitable than moat of
our ornamental fowls.
The time for selling chicks is now at hand.
They are now of a large size and the beet
breeders can be easily pinked out. Now is
really the time to start into the poultry
buainese, far good s'ook can be purchased at
reasonable prices, and by changing location
now they will become accustomed to their
new quarters, and be in excellent breeding
condition in the spring. If they are bought
in the spring at breeding time, the change
will oftentimes break up their laying, and it
will take considerable to recover and get in
good breeding condition again. And, as
time is so valuable in breeding season, it is
sometimes quite a serious loss.
Experience is a valuable teacher, The
reader should look over the past seasin, and
see wherein he has made mistakes, and try
to improve the next season. Experience
teaches that the best way to ship eggs is in
baskets, and never in boxes. There is al-
ways more or less complaint about eggs be-
ing received in had order ; and anything
that oan be done to avert this should be
carefully attended to by the reader. The
trouble with shipping in boxes is, that they
are handled too rough; but the instant an
expreaeman sees a basket with cloth oover
sewed on, he knows immediately what it
cont ins, and haedl3s It ac:ordingly. When
shipped in a box, the chances aro that they
will be handled as ordinary freight, no mat-
ter how many special warnings may be writ -
ton or pasted on the box, for the expressman
does not take time to read them ; the na-
tural consequence is that they get well shak-
en up before they reap their destination.
There is a great deal of talk and writing
about the " beat kind of fowls" and which
breed brings the best returns. This is most
of it guess work more than anything else,
as there is no one variety best for all pur
poses, They nearly all have their special
points of exeellenco,andbreeders should first
determine qualities he wants beat developed
in his fowls, and select ac.ordingly. He
aheuldfully decide whether he wants eggs
alone, or a good market variety, or simply
an ornamental variety that makes a nice
appearance on the lawn. No matter what
quality is desired, it can easily be found, as
we have so many varieties of fanny fowls,
that it is but a simple:matter to get the right
bird if the breeder knows just what he is
desirous of obtaining.
Farm Fences,
Perhaps no bettor treatise llpon fen:es
een be given than a farmer's reason for seek•
ing a different fence that those already in
use. Every year upon my farm I usually
divided one or more grans fields, so as to
mow one portlon, and pasture the other,
ior
to keep different kinds of stock by them-
selveswhich 1 consider desirable, espe-
cially n the ease of milch cows and sheep. I
found it a great job to move the necessary
amoant of rail fence to accomplish the de-
sired purpose, and when built such tempo
rary fences were blown down in places by
every heavy wand that came ; stock, espe-
cially horses, were constantly knocking It
down, colts, finding it one of the finest of
pastimes to res how many rails they could
knock down in a day, till there was no rest
for the weary old farmer from rebuilding 1
hence he thought, In his weariness, cannot
this be changed ? Cannot some device be
made that can b) moved with ease, that will
not blow down, that mite will let alone, that
is a good sheep and hog fence? Such a fen:e
must be high as possible, therefore let lie
use all the wire we can, forma bridge to keep
it tight, put the wire at the top so that the
wind will not blow it down or cattle press
it over, with boards at the bottom to form
the bridge, also to make a fence against
sheep and hugs, It must be mado in lengths
so that it can bo moved apart at any time (14
feet proves the beet length ;) we want it
straight, to let us couple it together end
to end. The couplers must allow the fence
to follow the uneven surface of the ground ;
the upper couplers will spread going over a
hill, the lower through a hollow, hence it
will leave no hog holes under the fence.
This coupler makes the best point from
which to support the lengths. What eball
I antler it with was the next question
An iron rod oan be driven easily ; being of
uniform size it can be drawn easily abs.
If I use a large, stiff rod when I draw the
top one way the bottom will move in the op-
posite direotion. That will not do ; the rod
must bo as light as may bo and support the
fence, then the lower and of the rod will not
move, hence the poet when drawn over will
again resume its upright pcsition,
The height of fashion—A dude's collar,
I all.

BOOT & SHOE IYIANUFACTIIRERS
OF MONTREAL
Whereas the reports of the epidemic in Montreal have, for obvious reasons,
bean greatly exaggerated, we, the undersigned Boob and Shoe Manufacturers of
Montreal, beg to inform the trade and the public generally that our manufacturing
establishments are entirely outside and far removed from what is known as the
Infected District ; that the extraordinary precautions taken by ns render ib extremely
improbable that contagion can be carried in our goods ; that every employee in our
establishment has been vaccinated and re -vaccinated (their families also being
vaccinated), and that a thorough examination of the homes of our operatives has
been made by competent physicians ; and that it is acknowledged by the Medical
Faculty that the combination of chemicals used in the tanning, colouring, ani
finishing of the leather used in Boots and Shoes is in itself a potent disinfectant.
We have also complied with every requirement of the ONTARIO BOARD OF
HEALTH, and after close examination of our factories by Dootor Covernton, their Chief,.
Inspector, we have received his certificates.
