Across the prairie, towards the west, We rode at day’s declining ; What radiant pictures we beheld. In heavenly ether shining ! How blends the purple, roey light And melts into the golden. Across the azure, crimson bars, Like some escutcheon golden. The prairie seems a grassy lake Where countless islets cluster; Green sumac clamps, that wear not yet The autumn’s scarlet luster. Acrciis the billows swift We float, Across the flower-decked grasses ; While “Bob White” and his frightened mate Hide till the wonder passes. The varied tints of budding leaves, ' The long, cool shadow lying Across the grass, weird shapes of clouds Before the breezes flying ; The plaintive call of ^rhip-pobr-wiU; The mourning dove's complaining, The doleful tale the “katy-did ’ Repeats, no answer gaining ; Each sight, each sound our souls possess With sense of summer’s being ; - And Nature wears her choicest dress For those with eyes for seeing ! The splendor fades, the amber pales To neutral tint uncertain, And swiftly, fold on fold, descends The evening’s somber curtain.‘ But still our good steeds gallop on . O’er phloxes and verbenas ; The quiet holds us like a charm, No word js said between us. Sweet stars above, sweet flowers beneath. Shine in the twilight faintly, While rising in the dusky East The moon grows white and saintljt We turn our horses’ heads for borne, Beneath the wind's cool kisses ; Will life or earth e’er yield again A joy as pure as this is ?

So far operations on the farm paper. “I told Air. Patterson you would be pleased to see him,” said Elsie, sure of her father’8 sympathy and approval. “Take a seat on the lounge, please,” the dear girl continued, knowing that he would probably soon fall asleep. Mr. Morgan made some neighborly remarks, while Elsie joined her friend in her grandmothers room. “Oh, Elsie, how could you?” exclaimed Louise. “The most horrible thing in the I world to me is a drunken man. ” i Elsie smiled. It was clear that Louise ; didn’t understand her motives in bringing | him into the house, but she could afford to i let all that go, and so was silent. | “It’s a good thing you found him just as i you did,” said grandma. “Why, he would j have mortified the family almost to death, ! if he’c gone home in that shape. Elsie, | darling, you are the most thoughtful girl in ] New York. ” | It was clear that Louise thought so too, | judging from the look she gave at her friends face, and that the whole matter was instantly made plain to her. Before Elsie realized what she was about, Louise gave orders to the coachman to drive home and call for her again about twelve o’clock. “It was late when we started,” she said in explanation, “and it’s so much later now that I-prefer to spend the evening here. Of course your not going to tell me I’m not welcome,” as she saw the protest in Elsie’s faepj and so Louise Ostrander had her own way after all. As the evening wore away, Clara Patter son grew more and more uneasy. Without the presence of Louise she felt sure that her party could not be considered a com plete spCcess.' No'“‘regrets” bad been re- ceiveqf yet Louise was never remiss in so cial observances. Could it be possible that there was any slight intended ? And her father, too. Where was he on this night, of all others ? A dreadful fear made her heart cold, and it was a relief to her to say “Good-night.” to the last of hea young friends. The next moment she seized a shawl, wrapped it over her head and shoulders and went out upon the steps. A carriage turned the corner and drew' up to the house. She was on the sidewalk in an instant, and be fore she had recognised Mr. Ostrander’s car riage and coachman. It was not her father but Louise, who stepped out upon the walk, saying quietly: “Please come into the house, Clara.” In great wonder she complied. “I intended to be here this evening,” Louise continued, “but on the way I stop ped to leave Elsie Morgan, who had been spending the afternoon with me. She met your father at the door, and—I’m so sorry, Clara,” as the young girl turned pale with a suspicion of the truth, “but, of course, she did all in her power to prevent his com ing home just then.

Her coming birthday, was to be a grand affair, aud the list of guests was a long one. Once Elsie Morgan’s npme would have been count ed in among the* rest without a. question. But Elsie’s father had had great business troubles, and w asn’t so rich as he used to lie. ElSie’s mother, an energetic and ac complished woman, gave German lessons to help the family through this financial strait and wasn’t above doing line sewing and em broidery for those who wanted it. Now what should she do about including Elsie in her invitations ? c? t ■ ; . • , |1< It is true she preferred Elsie to any of the other girls of her acquaintance, but there was Louise Ostrander, the richest girl in their set, who lived in a palace on Madi son avenue, aud whom she had every rea son tp know was very particular about her associates.

The farm is managed with something of the system that is employed in directing the operations of an army. It is cut up in to divisions of 2,000 acres each, and these are managed by experienced superintendents and foremen, the finances, of each division being brought under a regular and separate system of book-keeping. Mr. Dalrymple is general manager of the whole. The area of ground under crop this year is 13,000 acres. Next year the area will be increased to 20,000 acres. The spring wheat was sown the latter part of March i the fore part of April. The first of it was cut July 25, and twelve days after that the work of the reapers had been finished, and miles upon miles of wheat shocks cov ered the plains. In bringing this crop to perfection, Mr. Dalrymple has employed nearly 500 head of horses and mules, 80 broad-cast 8$ feet seed-sowers, I GO 14-inch ploughs, 200 steel-pointed harrows, 15 30- inch cylinder threshers and cleaners, 15 10- horse-power steam engines, 80 self-binding reapers, and a force of about 400 men. These 80 machines, when in motion, cut and bound with wire 1,000 large bundles every minute. Threshing was begun at the proper time, and as I stood in the midst of this stubble plain, and watched the smoke curling up from steam machines miles upon miles away, and fancied that they looked as vessels look when steaming far out over the lake in front of Chicago. 1 thought to my self what a magnificent “desert” this is! Near by me was a superintendent who was talking through a telephone to another su perintendent some three miles away. Near him sat an operator, who was sending a dis patch to another part of the farm. Mr. Dalrymple said that he expected the yield to average twenty-five bushels per acre, which would give a total of 325,000 bush els, worth just as many thousand dollars, two-thirds of which would be net profit. It is all No. 1 wheat, and Mr. Daliymple said he had just declined an offer by the Miller's Association of Minneapolis of 92 cents per bushel for 80,000 bushels. He is shipping from his farm to Duluth, and thence to New York, twenty cars of wheat every day. My astonishment at what I had seen was nothing compared with that wliich I experienced upon being told by Mr. Dal rymple that it was his purpose to carry for ward the development of his farm until he shall have put 40,000 acres under the plough and brought his yearly production of wheat up to a round million bushels. Dakymple's is not the only large farm hereabouts. There are at least a half dozen others which number from 1,000 to 2,000 acres under cultivation. The number of farms embra cing from 100 to 400 acres under cultiva tion is very large. •curled down before the kitchen fire to have a cozy, nap and dry himself.

I had nothing fit to wear to a grand affair like that, and now I have not even to send a re gret.” For a moment Louise was too much an noyed and hurt to speak. It w as plain that Elsie’s cheery expression was not assumed for ihe occasion, and that she was really more relieved -than hurt, still Louise felt sure that she must feel the. slight keenly. How could she help judging Elsie by her self ? At last she said, in a voice husky with tears: “I shall send a regret, Elsie, and if you ever speak to Clara Patterson again, I shall think you don't know how to resent an in sult.'' “If you really care for me, Clara, we will forget all about it, and be as good friends as ever. ” Louise Ostrander’s comment was, a few weeks later: “I am sure, Elsie, I shall never be sorry Clara did that thing, for we three girls should never have been so intimate if it hadn’t happened.” His Last Resort. A small, inoffensive-appearing one-armed man, with rather an intelligent face, but poorly glad and with marks of pain and suffering in bis countenance, walked slowly into the Central police station and motion ing Lieutenant Morse, the officer in charge, to one side, where he could not be over heard by anyone else in the room, whispe red in a broken voice, “I am sick and with out money or friends.

Or, at least, opened so readily to the slight est tap, that you felt sure a warm and hearty welcome waited behind it. Squire Brown’s family consisted of him self, his good wife; two or three manly young sons, and as many pretty daughters —real, buxom, New* England girls, who could play with equal skill on a washing- machine or a piano, and where something more and better than mere doll babies, to be dressed np in ruffles. and tucks, flounces and furbelows, and not good for anything else. ■ » There was another .member of Squire Brown’s family who deserves' introduction, and that was Jerry, a big, shaggy dog, black as a tar bucket, nearly as big as a young calf, but as gentle as a kitten.

And then he would take up his line of march just behind them, enter the church, walk gravely up the long aisle and take a seat in the pew. Some times, when the pew was not full, he would be allowed to sit up on the cushions; other wise, he would sit on the floor.

I spoke at first of the broad, blue lake just above the village. At the head of this lake was a large dam. One Sabbath morn ing, very early, people were roused from their warm beds, by a dull heavy roar, like distant thunder. This was succeeded by a loud crash, and then a long, low roar, at that, people sprang to their doors and win dows, crying, * ‘.The dam! The dam !
