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." —All the Tear Round, PITH MD POINT.

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 ures of the horrors of the life of a Russian exile.

One of the greatest causes of trouble in this world, is the habit people have of talking faster than they think. 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 irit, /i.,;,.-. vuiuiawi.
