DAFFODILS.
“I stand,-as once I stood of old,
Upon a meadow’s green and gold,
This sunny April day;
The little daisies kiss my feet.
The blackbird’s call is clear and sweet,
And care is far away.
“A solemn peace lies on my heart,
So lately wont to throb and smart,
And chafe at human ills;
I lift my face to feel the breeze.
That wanders through the budding trees,
And shakes the daffodils.
“How sweet they show to weary eyes,
Those hardy yellow blooms that rise
On slender fluted stalks!
They need no culture, thought or care,
But spring with springtime, free and fair.
O’er all our common walks.
“On meadow green, by leafy hedge,
In woodland shade and rusty sedge,
By little lowly rills;
While yet the north wind blows his blast,
Before the storm and sleet are past,
Laugh out the daffodills.
“They rise this year from last year’s grave,
And all their golden tassels wave
As blithely now as then.
So I, who love their beauty so,
Rise up this year from last year’s woe,
And gather flowers again.
“What though from many a dream I part.
I feel the springtime in my heart.
My tired sorrows cease.
I whisper to the yellow flowers,
‘This year shall bring me summer hours,
And deeper, surdr peace.’
“What though the feet that walked with
mine
Through last year’s days of shade and shine
Among my native hills,
Have wandered from my side and I
Stand lonely under God’s blue sky.
Among the daffodils.
“What though the hand which held my own
In love’s own clasp, while love’s own tone
Grew tender unto pain,
Has left my poor hand thin and cold;
I bring the trusting heart of old
To these bright flowers again."

The Century people started him off to ex¬
plore the country ’in their interest, and what
he expected to do was to prove that the exile
system was not as terrible as it had been
described. Knowing that he held views
favorable to them, the Russian Government
gave him every facility for a thorough ex¬ of
amination of all the prisons and mines
Siberia. The Minister ot the Interior fur¬
nished him with a circular letter which ad¬
mitted him everywhere, allowing him to
travel with exile parties and to make the
acquaintance of hundreds of “liberals.”
As Mr. Kennan relates in his preface in
the May Century , the result of all this in¬
spection was to make him change his views
completely, and he has returned to America
fully convinced that Stepniak and Prince
Krapotkin and other nihilist colors writers their have pict¬
not drawn with too strong

Preparing for the Fair.
The South is becoming quite noted for
its fairs, and they are largely held here—
as iu the North—in the Autumn. • An
agricultural fair must always depend for
Its success upon t he interest and work of
the tarmerS theil* attendance, and es
pecially their exhibits. The preparation
of those exhibits should be begun some
months before the fair. If a vegetable is
to be exhibited, the plant must be given
extra manure and cultivation. If an
animal is to be exhibited, it must be given
extra food and care. Only extra pro¬
ducts are to be exhibited, of course, and
extra duct vegetables and animals are the pro¬
Good of only extra food and attention.
the agricultural fairs are a benefit to
farmer. By making his county or
state fair a success the farmer benefits
himself. Second, preparing an exhibit
is directly profitable to the farmer. The
young animal or the plat will make good
return for the extra food and treatment
it gets, though it wins no premium, and
by demonstrating the profit there is in
good feed and care it will benefit the
farmer yet more. — Atlanta, ’ 6a., Souths
