Oh ! be not the first, to discover
A blot on the name of a friend,
A flaw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true to the end
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall ;
Then let us speak well of each brother
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and untrue ;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
llow often the smile of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet,
To cover a soul full ol sadness
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
llow often the sigh of dejection
Is heaved from the hypocrite’s breast,
To parody truth and affection
Or lull a suspicion to rest.
llow often the friends who held dearest
Their noble emotions conceal ;
And bosoms the purest, sinccrest
Have secrets they never can tell.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion
And small ones to trace out defects —
Let ours be a noble ambition,
For base is the mind who suspects.
We none of us*know one another,
And oft into error may fall;
Then let us speak well of our brother
Or speak not about him at all.

‘Well, what do you think of our
little girl, Eben V
Sirs, Rutherford asked this question
just as they were through dinner, and
Jennie had been excused from the
table. They had brought her to *tcii
pleasant country home a month before
os probation, and with a view to keep*
ing her as their own.
Eben laid dewn his knife and fork,
pushed back his plate, aQd looking
through the open door, to catch a
glimpse of pink ginghams flitting
around the corner, answered slowly :
•'I like her right well ; think if you
are suited we had best keep her. She
is bright aDtl willing and truthful."
“And a quiet little thing,” put in
his wife.
“Yes; don’t you know but I’d as lief
she wouldn’t be so quiet, though. I’ll
toll you, Sarah. I’m sort of a longing
lor a child's laugh rippling out at any-,
thing or nothing. I’d like to see her
dancing about and chattering like a
magpie, and all that sort o' thing I’ve
tried to please her. I’ve told her
stories, and taken her round on the
farm with me, and let her ride on
Charley’s back to the brook; and she
liked it.all in a quiet sort of way. But
she don't seem dowaright happy and
merry as it’s a child’s right to be,”
“Oh, well, I guess she’s contentod
enough, plenty to eat and wear, and
kindly treated. I’d rather she’d be
quiet than like Mrs Door’s little Nelly,
over the way, climbing trees and rid
ing fences and singing and shouting
from morning till night.”
Meanwhile Jennie was sitting on a<
rock by the brook, laying her bare
white feet, and spying to herself:
“Now, if I thought she’d care about
them, I’d get her some of those great
blue flowers —they’re beauties,” look
ing at the cluster of iris. “I'd as lief
wade in as not. I suppose she'd say,
‘Yes, yes, my child ; very pretty; don’t
clutter up the floor with them,' and
keep on tying up her curtains and
'ranging her closets. Mamma always
liked them so much. O, mamma, and
the little figure lay prone upon the
grass, trembling and sobbing.
‘Mamma! oh, mamma! I want
you. She is kind to me, but there’s
nobody like mamma."
“Poor child ! poor child !’’
It was Eben’s voice, but tender and
gentle. llis*strong arms lifted her
quivering form and laid her head on
his shoulder.
“There, there, dear, don’t cry. Want
to go to the mill with me ? You shall
have the reins yourself, and drive, if
you like.”
A few words from Ehen that night
get Sarah thinking; and the new
thoughts that came to her were
strengthened nest day in a neighbor’s
(ESTABLISHED IX THE YEAR 1845).
kitchen. She had “run in” off an
errand and found “Aunt Martha,” as
she was called in the neighborhood
parlance, making pies, Sho stood by
her moulding board, with sleeves,rolled
up and white gingham apron oh, the
picture of a healthy, hearty, blithe old
lady. Half a dozen pies with rich
golden centre, st*od by her sido. Half
a dozen apple piss were already browm*
ing in the oven. She had a little crust
left She rolled it out, spread it iu a
couple of saucers, filled the centres
round and plump with the juicy spiced
apples, and daintily trimmed the edges.
‘Do you make saucer pies, aunty V
asked Mrs. Rutherford in some sur
prise.
‘•Yes, every baking; why not*. s"’ 5 "’ said
aunty,
“Well, when the children are not
home to eat them, it soetus hardly worth
while. It is easier to put all in one
large pie, and tastes just the same, you
know.”
“Oh,yes; but some child is so apt to
happen along on an errand or some
thing. I’ve made them about every
forthnight for fifteen years and always
found a use for them. It more than
pays for the work to see the little ones
so pleased. \ r ou know, dear tb* old
lady added gently, “the time that trifle*
give great pleasure is so short, it passes
away before we are aware. Sometimes
I think it is only childhood that is con
tent with dealy bread."
“I’ll make a saucer pie for Jennie
next time I bake,” said Mrs. Ruther
ford to horself as she went home.
“Strange I never thought of it before.
I’ll, let me see, I'll dress her dolly new
for her. It’s quite shabby. And I’ll
koep her with me more and tell her
stories at bed time. Maybe its just the
little things mothers do that she wants
to ©Uoor k*r vip
The next morning Mrs. Rutherford'
concluded it was time to have some
pies, and she went to work with a will
When the baking was done, a dainty
saucer pie with sugar top and plum,
sweet berries stood on the dresser.
“Here’s something for you, dear,”
she said, as Jennie came in with a
quiet footfall; and she placed the little
pie in the child’s hands, Jennie’s face
flushed, her eyes lighted up, and to
Sarah’s surprise, grew dim with tears,
and the sensitive mouth quivered; but
only for a moment.
“Thank you ! thank you !” sho said
eagerly, ‘it’s just like the pies
mother used to make for me.’
“Ah ! that’s it,” thought Sarah,
‘Ebon is right, to be sure. Sho
wants ‘mothering.’ ’ And she
drew the little girl to her side and
kissed her. The u inn pled arms
were around her neck in an instant
and the kiss returned, and through
the day Jennie seemed to feel hap
pier and more at borne.
Bed time came, and Jonnie,
nestling in the white pillow, looked
up with wondering eyes, as Mrs.
Rutherford sat down on the side of
the bed, and taking ths little hand
in hers, said kindly: “Shall 1 tell
you a story, dear ?’
She listened with eager interest
to tho story of the Highland Shep
herd’s child lost in tho mountain
mist and guarded and fed by his
faithful dog. And when Mrs.
Rutherford bent down and kissed
her the white arms wound impul
sively around her neck, and Jennie
said for the first time, ‘Good night,
mamma ?’
Sarah was startled, tha new
name seemed so sweet.
‘I now see,’ she thought. Eben
is right. It is mother love and
care the child needs and shall
have.’
Mrs. Rutherford kept tho reso
lution. She did not, could not,
feel the intense devotion of a mother
but was no longer consent with
feeding and clothing her charge.
She tried to satisfy hungry and
thirsting for affection which she
learned to meet and recognize.—
Sho sought Jennie's happiness,Jand
in due tim# she had her reward.—
Loro in her own heart, grateful
love in the child’s strengthened
day by day Jeunie grow gradual
ly happier till her laugh and song
rang out as merrily as Eben wish
ed, And, when a year had passed,
neither of the worthy couple would
any more have thought of parting
with her than if she had been theirs
by birth. They knew no difference
in the home tie.
“It all dates back,” said Sarah
to her husband, as they sat talk*
ing one night after Jennie had gone
to bed, “all this happiness dates
back to the first saucer pi#. Jsnme
seemed from that timo to believe
that I loved her.”—[Ex.
Fr Farm ISo.v* t© Learn-
From a Western paper we ex
tract the following practical re
marks; they will be very useful to
everv one on a farm; llow many
of the boys who read this paper
could “lay off” an acre of ground
exactly, providing one of the di*
m#nsions was given them? Now,
“Hoe Handle” itk#s to be useful,
and I havo taken some pains to
make out a table, and I would like
to have every one of the farm boys
learn it. There are 160 square
rods in an acre, and there aro 301
square yards in one rod. This
gives 4,540 square yards in one
acre.
5 yards wide by 968 yards long
is 1 acre
10 yards wide by 484 yatds
long is 1 acre.
20 yards wido by 242 yards
long is 1 acre.
40 yards wide by 121 yards long
1 acre.
80 yards wide by 00“ yards lung
is 1 acre.
70 yards wide by 69i yards long
is 1 acre.
60 yards wide by SO 2-3 yards
long is ! acre. •
Again allowing nine square feet
to the yard, 2721 square feet to
the rod, 43,560 square feet to the
acre and we have another table ;
1 10 feet by 369 feet—l acre.

when it may be easily poured out
and mixed with the soap. When

When cattle aro hide-bound, or the

in cases of sores. It is valuable
in the poultry house. It is a good

“And so you love June better

gazing at the young farmer from

he replied, nonchalantly; “it’s the
best month to wean calves.”

is dying cut, and that woro tt'liot
for the emigration of foreign work
men we would he at a loss for men
to do even the commonest jobs.
The best workmen do not come
here at oil, finding enough to do at
home, so that those wo do find are
not such workmen as we had even
ty ycurs ago; but at least they are
better than the men who have fail
ed to learn a trade here. The
newspapers say that men do not
know their trades now-a-days be
cause there is no such thing as a[
prenticeship, and the reason we
have no apprentices is, that the
trades unions will allow more
than onejor two apprentices in each
shop for fear of too much competi
tion in the future. There was an
attempt some years ago to restrict
the number of apprentices, and 1
believe that in Chicago the loss
masons are allowed hut two ap
j prentices, whether they employ
five men or fifty. But all such
rules are useless here because it is
not in tho shopowner’s interest to
have any apprentices at all. There
it no such thing a3 a legal appren
ticeship bond between a boy more
than sixteen years of ago an 1 an
employer; consequently a boy who
is taught something useful in a
shop will leave when he can get
half a dollar moro a week in some
other place. A boy will not stay
in a shop for more than a year
without pay; we have to pay them
for allowing themselves to be
taught a trade. As boys are usu
ally not worth their salt in a car
penter’s shop we do without them,
I have not had a boy fer years, and
will not until the law frames aD
apprenticeship indenture which
will insure me sorno return for the
troublo of teaching apprentices.—
The consequence is, that toys pick
up a trade in a superficial way in
stead of learning it. Among the
plumbers it is somewhat different,
because every plumber has a help
er, who, hoginning as a boy, soon
learns the trade, if he is bright.—
