She, with a milk pail on her arm, Turns aside with her young cheeks glow. ing, And sees down the lane the slow, dull tread, Of the drove of cows that are homeward going. "Bessie 1" he said ; at the sound she totted, Her blue oyes full of Childish wonder ; "Aly mother is feeble, and lame, and old, And I need a wife at the farmhonee yore der. My heart is lonely, my home is drear, T need your VOW= ever near me ; , Will you be my guardian angel, dear, Qttcen of my household, to guide and cheer me ?" "It has a pleasant sound," she said : "A household angel, a guiding spirit, To war'tn your heart and °beer your borne, And keep the sunshine ever near ie. 33n0 Tam only a simple 01ild, So my mother says in her daily chiding-- And hidingAnd whet must a guardian augol do When she first begins her work of guid• ing 7" "Well, first, dear Bessie, a smiling hoe Is dearer far than the rarest beauty, And my mother, fretful, and lame, and old, Will require a dnugbter's loving duty. Yon will see to her flannels, and drops, and tea, And talk to her of lungs and liver, Give her your cheerful [service, dear, 'The Lord He loveth a oheorful giver.' " "You will see that my breakfast is piping itot, And rub the clothes to a snowy white. MPG ; Make golden batter and snowy rolls, And polish things to a cheerful bright- ness ; Will darn my etookiugs and mend my goats, And see that the buttons are sawn on tightly ; You will keep thinge Cheerful, and neat, and sweet, That home's altar fires may still burn brightly. "Yon will read mo at evening the daily news, The tedious Winter nights beguiling, And never forget that the sweetest faoe Is a cheerful face, that is always smiling; In shore, you'll arrange in 18 goueral w18y, For a sort of sublunary heaven— For home, dear Bessie, say what we may, Is the highesb sphere to a woman given." The 10111 sang out to the bending sky, The bobolink piped to the nodding rushee, And onb of the tossing clover blooms Came the sweet, clear song of the meadow th1'nehee, And Bessie, listering, paused awhile, Tbe11 seed, with a sly glance at her neighbor— "Bet, John 1—do you meal—that is to tre What hall I get for all this labor "To be nurse, companion aria servant girl To malts home's altar firms burg brightly ; To wash, and 100n, and scrub and soots, And always be cheerful, neat and spright• To give up liberty, home and frfettde— Nay, even the 114010 of a mother's giving, To do all this for ano'e board and clothes, Why, the life oe an angel is not worth 11811033,,' And Bessie gaily went boo Way, Don through tho fields of ocented clover; But Dever agate since that Summer day hes she Won a g111a00 from Iter risotto lover. The lark singe out to the bending eky, The olouds sail 01 as white ne ever, The clovers Ease to the Summer wind, But Bessie has lost that ahanoe forever. World's Fair. The faros hove been kind to 0115 White City. From the llret of Juue till the past week or two, hardly a drop of rain fell. The temperature has at no time been ex- oeoslvely hot, and tbore wee never a day unpropitious for eighb.seeing till the last of September. And fortunate it wee for the World's Fair that snob was the ease, for the outface drainage of the grounds is not perfeot, a little rain quiokly forme peddles, and the thousands of feet ohnrn the etreete into lakes of mud, Of course the bulk of visitors who aro there ander expense and whose time is limited, will brave all kinds of weather, but, as a rule, since the rains mime the fluo0nabions in daily attendance have been from 80,000 to 00,000, according us the suit shone or the skies were leaden. During the week just oloeed the daily admissions varied from 143,000, 00 222,000, the total for the week being about a round million, with a paid aggregate 53000 May let of 15,000,- 000. For some time the railroads have been actually swapped for lack of Dare to carry passengers and power to haul them, and despatches say that thousands who have bought tickets were tumble to obtain transportation.

Resuming the subject of ebeep where we left it last, we came to the Dorset Horne, which ore a novelty in their way, and quite a curiosity to most of the visit- ors to the stook barns. The Dorsete aro a mutton breed, the fleeces not being heavy. They are hardy and vigorous, and very prolilio. Tho horns are the first things that strike an observer, grow- ing on both rams and ewes, and are a valuable feature In protecting them from the attacks of dogs ; in fact, their ad- mirers claim that they are clog•proof, which of itself would be enough to mom. mend them highly in most parts of On- tario, The Ontario prize•wmner3 Were J. A. McGillivray, Uxbridge, and Thos, W. Hector, of Spr'ingfield.on.tbe•Credit, who shared up some $765 between them. Southdown mutton is a honeehold word among epicures, end a grand array of fine animals were set before the judges in this chess. They have a beautiful quality of wool, short lege, thiols, deep body and a soft grey countenance. Iu the Southdown olase the fireb really serious competition begat, ; breeders from Ohio, Nebraska, Illinois, Kenluoky and other states contesting the honors with the Ontario men—John Jackson ,t Son and D. J. Jackson, of Abington, and T. 0. Douglas, of Galt—with the result that our countrymen took nearly all that was worth having—some 31.640 in money. The Shopehirec are probably the favor- ite sheep in America today, more of them being raised tban of any other breed. The American Shropshire As- sociation, of which Hon. John Dryden, Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, had the honor of being re•eleoted president— has over 1,200 members and the number is increasing. The Shrope are larger and heavier than the Southdowns, and the mutton is 00111eer for the most pert, though it reaches the Southdown sta nd- erd in the beet specimens. English farmers look on the Shrops es the rent payers. Ontario entered two Rooks— those of John Campbell, of Woodville, and 3V. I3. .Beattie, of Wilton Grove. No less than 31,170 in prizes fell to their lot, of which Mr. Campbell took the lion's share. Oxford Downs are larger again than the Southdowns or Shrop•hires, and are the result of a cross between the Cots- wolds and Southdowns, gaining size and coarser wool from the former, They have dark faces and lege like the South - downs and Shrope, and their mutton is of good quality. The Ontario exhibitors were Henry Arkell, of Arkell, and Peter Arita'', of Teessvater, who have some 5475 to divide between them. The American Oxford breeders were 0110 in force, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin being represented, nob to speak of the redoubtable Diolr Stone, of Stoniugton, Illinois, without whom no sheep chow would-be complete. Hampshire Downs aro not very exten- sively bred on this side of the water, though they are a very useful sheep, be. ing exceedingly popular in England, where they ere largely nerd for crossing other long -wooled breeds for large and rapidly growing lambs. The wool is nearer like that of the Southdown than either the Shrope or the Oxfords, and they are good geoeral purpose animals, The only Ontario man who contested the honors with the Ateerioano was John Kelly, of Shakespeare, who brought over some five head with his Leioeetere, and took some $60 in prize money. Besides the breeds mentioned above, there are several 1n whish Ontario is not represented, inoluding the pretty little Cheviots, the Merinos of va0Io0s kinds, of which the most notable are the Ram- bouillet,, from Prussia, with matted wool and carious hooded heads. They are of large size, and are said to produce good mutton, while their fleece is of great length and fine staple. Then there are the eurione Persian cheep, with lop euro, huge tails and curly coat, from whish is obta1ned the Astrakhan fur of commerce, and the beautiful Angora goats, with silky coats and long whiskers. These bwo latter are beginning to be extensively bred in California, where they appear t0 thrive well. Roughly going over the sheep prize list I find that while Americans had 448 ani- mals in the mutton classes ag11inst ogre 810, the awards stood :—First prizes, Ontario, 61 ; U. S. 49 ; second' prizes, Ontario 47 e. U. S. 44 ; third prizes, On. tarso 46 ; U. S. 80 ; fourth prime, 00. ratio 35 ; U. S.17. The motley value of the Ontario [sheep prizes wail sheet 36,• 800 whioh, added to the $5,600 won for cattle and horses, makers a total of 3140 000. The total amount offered by the World's Fairland Live Stook Aseooletions foots up about 080,000, so that already Ontario nae captured nearly half of it, with ie good thence of getting more yet. Taken altogether, the sheep exhibit, io the opinion of those who ere entitled to give boo, is of even a higher grads of ex. oellence than that of the 0110010 and horses, which is saying a good deal. A very large propartlon of the prise winners were sus• woeful competitors et the Royal Show in England, and, strange to say, nearly all theee Oame out On the same Ship, the Lake Superior, the Beaver line, last Spring, whioh on that trip had probably the most valuable live stook cargo that ever crossed the AElantio. Stook men appear to prefer the Canadian roots, and the Beaver lino, having laid itself out in that direction, naturally gots the pi,lt of the traffic. The judg'ie of sheep fienit Ontario wore 01508, Fairbairn, At P., Boboaygeou ; R10h0rd and John Gibson, of Middlesex, and W. H. Beattie, of Wil. ton Grove, and so far se I was able to learn no hint of partiality or unfairnese was whispered against thorn, in spite of the deep out made by Ontario into the prize money. The sheep, or euoh of them es are un• sold, were to be returned to Ontario about the middle of this week. A Iarge number of sales of ebeap and swine have beau already made and itis likely there will be more. The fat stools, thorough. bred horeee and poultry oornmenoed to be judged on Monday of thio week. Querulous folk aro apt to ask w11ab good will result Irom the spending of so mush money ; and how will it pay Ontario ? In no obhor way could the name of On. tario have been so well advertised to the world, or so mnolt attention been attract• ed toper native products. The sheep odes I have alluded to above, and besides those there is likely to boa decided boom in fruit, es American buyers aro con. stanbly inspecting our magnificent die• piny and inquiring when item» be bought. Fruit is coming in at the rate of 800 to 500 entries a day, and the quality is uni- formly good. The lists of award are now being published, and, as I foreshad• owed, every largo number ere coming our way. In smell frnite alone we have had some 180 samples planed, and that is but a beginning. The vegetable coart oontinnes to at. tract great attention, and strange to say it is the only one in which a really corn. plebe show of Geld roots and vegetables is made, though some of the states make an effort in that direction. Of late there Bove arrived consignments selected from the Toronto Industrial and other shows, including mammoth mangolds, turnips and cabbage, as well as celery, onions, beets, carrots, eta., of excellent quality, The potatoes are partioolarl3' good, and in view of the almost total failure of the 8rmf,118 many of the states, buyers in Chicago and elsewhere have taken a good deal of notice of them and will visit On• tario this Fall to make parallaxes. The ootober oheeee exhibit has arrived and is being installed by J. Ruddick, of the Dominion Experimental Dairy. It comprises some 494 cheeses of 1893, 115 of 1892 and five of 1891. The bulk of the olnoese is from Ontario, though all the Provinces are represented. There are also 167 packages of butter, factory and dairy make. C. W Yount. Geon rice.
