"It is the first mild day of March,
Each minute sweeter than before;
The red breast slots from the tall beach
That stands beside our door.
There Is a blessing in the air.
Which seems a sense of Joy to yield
To the bare treca, and mountain bare,
And grass in the green field.
Lore, now an unlrersal birth.
From heart to heart la stesliog.
From earth to man, from man to earth.
It It the hour of feeling,
doe moment now may tire us more
Than fifty years of reason;
Our minds shall drink at every pore,
The spirit of the season,

Hints to Hoksskssi'Sss —I once heard a
lady say, "a floor will look cleaner after I
have swept It than It will after Cousin Hattie
has brushed and washed it all day.” I asked
her wlty. and she replied, “I always sweep
the way tbe boards lie, and in this way I take
all tbe dirt and lint that has gathered in the
crevices with tbe loose dirt, when, if I sweep
across the boards half the dwt would be left
In the Jittio trenches, till a gust of wind catno
along and then it would go flying about
Just at ay window is a peaclitree in full
bloom. I cannot raiso my eyes without see
ing it, and as I look at Its lovely flowers, and
farther on at anelghbor'a garden,where every
thing is budding out in all the beauty of I though it had no abiding place. When there
spring, I wonder how any world can be more I | S8 bad In the room I use a damp broom when
attractive. It is true we have been told “eye j gwe ep beneath it and that keeps the fine,

There is nothing more interesting than I til you would think it new. Another good
watching vegetation as it advaucea from ono I way to clean old carpets Is to rub them over
stage to another. Our garden*, both flower I with meal, juat dampen it very little aud rub

"Tetched, assures*yen ate bom” he said lo
blmtelf. "Though I never did see such s little one
tetched. Mebbe the big one, that give me the dry
bread was loony, loo; that sight he wbatmade me
rich aspltfite. It might be a lunatic hospital;" and
he arose snd looked back at the houie reflectively
"Oh, yes, I live In the moon” he raid, tearing
himself again, "sutlntri: I live In the mcon.”
A shadow of painful doubt had been creeping ls>
to Stella's mind; he wss so mneh like other people;
hit manneia were not elegant, snd he wss vety
badly dre.eeJ; bat bis own assertion wss satisfac
tory. She breathed s sight of relief. Only the fear
that he would vanish before she could return, pre
vented her from going In sestet of Jtck, the un
believing, who certain,y would have lo believe
she thought. She resolved to subtract all the
Information possible and to use It to convince
Jack.
‘What kind ol cheese 1* green cheese?” she In
quired .
"Well It* sage cheese" the man answered, after
some deliberation. "Cheese with so much cage
In It that it fa kind of greenish complected eo to
speak,'’
"That Iswbst Percy snd I thought;" cried Stella
'‘But Uncle John thought It was new cheese."
“riiete's nobody knows much about tho moon,
but them as lives there," said the man, in a tone
snd manner inll ol mjstety.
"II must be very funny. But you haven't burst
have you? You don't look very limp«y. Jack says
people there must be Just like mj bariooo alter he
■tuek a pin Into It, because there isn't any air la
the moon.”
"Alt/b!ea you, there's »Ir enough! Alt and
water, that's about all there la that's plenty wbete I
live!” and he laughed harshly.
Stella resolved to enlighten Jack on that point the
vety first thing.
Presently, she asked: "Did you see tbe cow
when the j umpe 1 over the moon ?”
That was another important polo t which Stella
wished to obtain tes lmony or Jack boldly declared
his opinion that Mother Gooeee wit* not a faithful
historian. ,
The cow? Conn bein'such a plentiful animal,
I can’t rightly tell which one you mean.”
Stella opened her eyes wide with astonishment.
Don't you know?
“ 'Hey dldoledlddlle, the cat aud tbe fiddle. ,
The cow Jmped over the moon?"
"Ob, to be sure .'That ere event oocured eome
time ago sud it had klud ol slipped my mind. Yes,
t see her. She gin .the moon a clip with her
heels usna went over snd knocked it kind of
slantwise. Mabbe you've noticed seme times, that
It looks kind of slantwise.''
Yes I have 1” cried Stella, eagerly, surely such
proof u this would convince oven Jack, she
thought.
“Oh, I with I could go to the moon I You could
uot potribly Uke me. could you, aa<? bring me
back again?" she added, with a sudden thought of
home
‘ I expect they think a good deal of you at home,
and meetM) they woutdu’t want tosparo you,"said
course, i coutu come Decs ogam."
"Ul course, 1 might take yun a ong with me now,
if you was * good girl and didn’t make no noue,
and I could bring you back again before they
mined you,'' tain tbe man.
"Ob, win you?" ened Stella, hopping on one
foot That waa the way in which all the little
micgett. exprened their greatest j -y. "and Cm- ,
derltla too! It will be such a thlugfurCIndertlla.”
Stella bad beard her mother say tbatabout Polly,
their eldest, when she was lnvlied to go to Kurope.
"and pernsps they don’t bar* dolls lu the moon
aud wouldn't tike to see her."
The man exxmtneo Uinderltla critically. She
waa made of wax and had real hair, aud no said
Stella might take htr.
Ho looked cautiously aiound to aeo If anybody .

Stella wondered whether they would go on L
broomsticks, but her new friend wa. no. as talks-
uncle John, an It was from there nl. versel
salted. But the h-d never heard there was auy
conveyance from Norwich lo too moon. Jack
would no very much surprised, and would be very
likely to say: "I don’t believe it"
That was almost the last distinct thought that
Stellabad. It was long pamper bed time and lh
grew so sleepy aa she stumbled along, that, at
length, the man grumbllugly lifted her lu hi- arms
fast asleep. Her bold uoon Ciuderilla had relaxed
and the man stuck het doltiblo, head first luto bl*
grimy pocket, the legs waving in the ut. Aud so
this ktrsDge-y Amor ted company stumbled along In
the datknms.
