LIVIN 1 ON A FARM. How brightly through the mist of years My quiet country home appears! My father busy all the day In plowing corn or making ha/, My moth r, moving with delight Among the milk pans, sHver bright! We children just from sc owl set free, Filing the garden with our glee. The blood of life Was flowing warm Wlien I was living on a farm. I hear the sweet church-going 1 ell, As o’er the fields its music fell; 1 see the ftodntry neighbors round, Gathering ’neath the pleasant sound. They atop awh 1 • beside the door To talk their homely matters o’er— The afffi'nging corn, the ripening grain, And “how we need a little rain;” "A fifth- strn wi 1 do no haftty We want gixxl Weather for the fahn.” lien AiJjWfi crtrrie, What j ys to see The gathering of the husking bee; •ar the v ices keeping tune, Os boys ami girls Ir neath the moon; The mark the golden crn ears bright, Mote golden in the yellow light! Since I have learned the Wa/- of men, I often turn to these again, And feel life wore its highest charm When I was 1 v.ug on a farm. A JAI’ANEESE HOTEL. tn itn-iginlng a Japanese hotel, £oo<l reader, please dismiss all architectural ideas derived from the! Continental or the Fifth Ave nt:e Our Intel? in Japan, out ward, at least, are wooden struct ures, two stories high, often but fine. Their roofs are usually thatched, though the city cara vansaries are tiled. They are en tirely open on the front ground floor, and about six feet from the sill or threshold rises a platform about a foot and a half high, upon which the proprietor may be’seen on his heels behind a tiny railing ten inches high, busy with his ac count books. It it is Winter he is engaged in the absorbing occu pation of all Japanese tradses men at that time of year warming his hands over a charcoal fire in a low brasier. The kitchen is usu ally just next to this front room, often separated from the street only by a lattice partition. In evolving a Japanese kitchen out of his or Inr imagination, the reader must cast away the arising Conception of Bridget's realm. Blissful, indeed, is the thought as we enter the Japanese hotel nei ther that the typical servant girl nor the American hotel clerk is to be found here. The landlord contes to meet us. and falling on his hands and knees, bows his head to the floor. One or two ol the prety girls out of the bevy usually seen in Japanese hotels comes to assist Ws ami take out leaps. Welcomes,invitations,iml plenty of fun greet us as we sit down to take off our shoes, as all good Japanese do, and as those filthy foreigners don't, who tramp on the clean mats with muddy boots. We stand up unshod, and are led by the laughing girls along the smooth corridors, across an aic’ied bridge which spans an open space in which is a rookery, garden, and pond stocked with goldfish, turtles, and inarinr plants. The room which out fail g tides choose for us is in the rear end of the house, overlooking the grand scenery for which Ranozan is justly famous all over the em pire. Ninety-nine valleys are said to be visible from the moun tain-top on which the hotel situated, and we suspect that multiplication by ten would scarcely be an exageration. A world of bluo water and pines and (ho detailed loveliness of the rolling land, form a picture whicl 1 lack power to paint with words The water seemed the type o repose, the earth of motion.—-Zq • p i neott's Magaai GOOD RULES FOR FARMERS. 1. kike good papers and read (hem. 2.
