"WHAT ARE LIFES PLEASURES.
What are life's pleasures.
Vanishing treasures,
Gleaming awile then passing away;
Like waves of the ocean,
When Oiled with commotion
Still hurrying oaward the white-foaming

What are life's dreams,
. That bring sonny gleams
To light for moment, the world weary heart?
Like sweet summer floorers,
When coaae chilling showers,
From Autum's cold breath their beauties
depart
The hopes thst we cherish,
How fleeting! they perish,
We watch their fair colors that fade in the
bloom ;
Ami sorrow-tears flow,
From hearts bruised and sore,
And linger around the cjuill of the tomb.
Ah! life's fleeting pleasured
Ah, vftrishirtg treasures I - .

In every true-born heart whether
glowing with the fanciful dreams of youth,
or the quiet memories ot age there is a
warm emotion awakened at the very name
of Our native Home the land where all
the hallowed associations of earlier days
are grouped the la id where mighty spir

bome onr forefathers left to our care and
enotniif in t!s "eiecf or Tn8"fiarf:' ")Libf;
w hy do we see so many brave brave spir-ita-so
many gnat men rise from the

so many young men exchange the peace

valor, ivrving his arm to ''do and dare."
Yet, it is not strange, for who does not
love their mother land the ideal of all
that is beautiful and iruetbeaweet home
that first sheltered the young bead the

Lucid Manure Tkyma. Wo take
the following from tho Western. Rural:
As liquid manure ia exceedingly vboinr
cial to dl vegetables! plenty of it should
always be available, and without a liquid
manure tank this cannot be obtained.
For large gardens, a tank should be built
exactly like a cistern : the brhska
ting through the anil, and also to keep
surface water from entering the tank by
tiledruii.s from the stable, byre, kitchen,
etc., and may be taken out by a pump. i
In small gardens a hogshead or large cask
of any kind that nil itold water, uiay bo
unk in the ground, and will answer on a
small scale. In this, soot, guano, etc.,
may be converted into a valuable manure
by dissolving them in a suitable propor
tion of water. Manure is much more
readily taken np by the roots of plants
when to solution than wheu in a solid
state. In fact, solid manure has to bo
disoolved before it can -enter the sponge
