FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS. DEAR TO SOMEBODY. Somebody's darling was gaunt and old. Crippled and shockingly battered. Covered with bruises and scars untold, Kaggcd and torn and tattered. 'Somebody's darling had only an arm, And ouc of her eyes was missing; Her checks had lost their roseate charm, Hy reason or too much kissing. Somebody's darling was christened Poll; And this I perceived full clearly, -Although she was only an old black doll. Somebody loved her dearly. Little Folks. LIKE A POSEY. Dat Little Elsir Proved Ilenteir to be Good for Something More Than a flower. "Well, you do look like a posoy, sure enough,' said Susan, the maid, as Elsie walked through the hall. "Where you going this nice morning?" rm going down to poor old Aunt Dinah's to take her 6omo flowers," said Elsie. "She says she 'gets 'pow'ful "tired in dis Norf country, seen' so few flowers."1 Susan laughed as Elsie went out into Hie garden. Any one who had seen the dear little maiden would surely have agreed with Suan. She walked about, taking in the full si eetness of the early June day, won dering if ever a day hail been quite so perfect liefore. Every dowdrop added .u brightness to the smile with which the darling little flowers looked up in the sunshine. The birds chirped and It'll led and twittered as if they were all trying which could say the most about the beautiful day. "Don't be sorry because I pick you, you beauties!' said Elsie. "I know it's nice to stay here in the sunshine and jut look pretty, mil mamma says every thing ought to Iks good for something else besides that- And that's what I'm taking you for." But outside the garden and down tho road Elsie found some things which "were not -o pleasant as the flowers and the bird-. Three shabby, unwashed little children, a boy and a girl and a "baby, were playing in the sand. man who carried her to the bank, a bile another brought the baby. "Some one at the door wishes to see you Elsie," said her mother to hor tho next morning. A very dirtv. bare-headed, bare footed little boy stood there with a great bunch of beautiful wild flowers which ho offered to Elsie, saying: "You ;iin't stuck up a mite and I'm no end o' sorry I said you was. You hud right down on that dirty log with all your clean things on and if you hadn't we we shouldn't a' had any baby to our house this inornin'." He rubbed his eyes as he laid down the flowers and went away. "Mamma," said Elsie, "I'm good for more than a flower, ain't I?' "What a question for the child to ask?' said mamma, kissing her.

She thinks more of her clean duds'n any thing else in the world.""" Elsie thought it very disagreeable for any one to talk so. Aunt Dinah was sitting alone in her wee little house, looking wistfully at the )eautiful world outside, when Elsie came to hor window and held up th6 fiowers. "You'.-e for all de world jes' like a summer inornin' yo'self, honey," she iN-iid, :u Elsie found a vase for the ilow ers. "Aunt Dinah," said Elsie, soberly, "is it any harm to like to have on clean clothes and look nice?" "Any harm? Why, bress yer little heart, didn't de good Lord make Mich as you jes to go roun' a-shinin' an' a beamin' like do flowers?" "I don't know. Aunt Dinah," said tho little girl, shaking her head very gravely. "It seems to me little girls ought to be good for more than flow ers. If they weren't meant to be so, they wouldn't have been able to walk about and talk, and do lots of other things, would they?" "Dat's inore'n 1 can tell, honev. But I don't make no doubt you'll be 'nough sight better'n a flower some time." "I'd like to be now," said Elsie, as fehe walked away after baying good-bye to Aunt Dinah. She did not like to go by the rude children again, and so sho went down a little lane, which brought her out by the river just above the saw mills. "Ha' ha! There sho is again!" 'And just :is stuck up :is ever!" The other children must have liked the lane and the brook as well :is she 'There they were, and the saucy boy stooped to pick up a bit of dirt to throw at her sis she hurried by. But it was never thrown, for as he raised his arm he caught sight of some thing which made his face turn pale. The baby!" he screamed. Elsie looked where he pointed. Down the bank the ioor Httlo unkempt two-year-old had mado his way and had crept upon a log which lay in the water close to the shore. From this he had climbed to another and then another log until he now stood balancing; him .sclf upon one which lay next to the dark water beyond. With shrieks for help the boy rushed toward the mills, while hut sister ran wildly about, screaming: "Mamma! Mamma!" Elsie was older than either 'of them. Swiftly into her little hodd came thoughts of stories she had heard about the folly ol people allowing them selves to become frightened in times of danger instead of trying to do their best to help. She ran down the bank and before the boy had reached the mill was setting her feet upon the logs. Her licad grew dizzy as they tipped rind rolled under her and she half thought of going back. But she heard a pitiful cry from the baby and oould not iind it in her heart to turn her back upon him. Nearer and nearer sho came and had almost reached him when he slipped into tho water. Elsie threw herself at fulllangthon the log, and stretching out her arm could just lay hold of his dress. She grasped it tightly, holdingon with all her might as the cruel water seemed deter jnined to sweep her away. "Hold on a minute longer!" Shouts and footsteps were coming rear and Elsie was seized by a pair of strong arms just as she was being drawn into the water. "You're a brY Ultle g IrL" saidUi How He Wan Taught That It Would Be Horrid to Live in a House Where .No body Kept the (iolden Kule. Willy's lips stuck out as if a bunible- !ee had stung them. Think of it! when his own dearest mamma was softly put ting him to bed, and talking to him so sweetly about the naughty things he had been doing all day! "When you spoke so to Robbie, did you think it was keeping the Golden Kule?' said mamma, sadly. "Ho says just that way to me always," cried Willy, "And he's a-bound to break all my things, and he deserves to have his broke back again." "But the Golden Rule. Willy!" said mamma. "My boy mustn't break that, if Robbie does break playthings." Willy didn say, "Don't care;" but old Don't Care sat on his lips as big as life. Mamma went awav at last, and left him. She sat down by the window.and tried to think up some plan to make Willy a better boy. Next morning Willy came down to breakfast when he got ready. Nobody called him. They had hot buckwheats and honey for breakfast, and usually mamma called him so as to have them nice. But this time sho said: "He wouldn't trouble himself to call us. Never mind him.' "Why didn't somebody put 'em in the warming oven, Katy?" he asked ia angry surprise. "You, wouldn't like it, I vuess, to have old fried griddles, stone cold." -Deed, and I shouldn't think." said Katy. "But a body can't Le always doing to other folks as ye'd like them to do to yersilf. This was Willy's own idea, hut it wasn't pleasant to take with cold grid dles. "Where's papa and mamma?" he asked after awhile. "('one for a sleigh-ride," said Katy. "Without mo?" cried Willy, chok ing. "Sure, yis," said Katy, chetrfully. "They said they guessed it wouldn't pay to wait for you. You never wait for anybody." He couldn't'eat any more breakfast no, not if tho cakes had been red-hot. Mamma gone, mamma to do so, mamma to speak like that! He went and hid his face in her old wrapper in the closet, and cried an hour or less. The sound of sleigh-bells made him come out. In came mother, ro-y, sweet, holding in her hand a lovely bunch of greenhouse roses, in her arms a brim ming bag of chocolate caramels. "Aren't they beautiful?" she said, pinning one in her collar and putting the rest in a silver vase. "I want one in my buttonhole," said Willy, wistfully, eying the creamy, fra grant buds, "Yes," said mamma, sweetly, "it would be pretty," and fell to eating the candy with great enjoyment. Dinner was just as bad. They noticed him now and then, carelessly. It didn't seem that any one was displeased with him. Only nobody cared for him. Oh, the misery of that littlo sentence! No body seemed to be thinking to-day, "I wonder what my little Willy would liko." After dinner, mamma sat down and read "What will he do with it?" Willy knew what he would do with it, could he only get hold of it. He would take that book and pitch it "clear away down to tho bottomest place in the welL" Read and eat caramels! Why, almost always mamma read to him. And who ever heard of mamma keeping nice things to eat all alone? All at once, mamma heard a great sob. She laid down her book, and looked at Willy sorrowfully. "Does he want to como and sit in mamma's lap a minute?" she said, gently. Bounce! It was only Willy; but peo ple who aren't used to boys might have thought it was a cannon-tall struck them, or something. "O mamma," cried Willy, squeezing her tight, "I wish I was your mother, and you were my little boy!" "Dear me!" laughed mamma, though she was almost crying. "Wat for?" "Oh, because I'd stop showing you how horrid it is not keeping the Golden Rule." Mamma took the hint, and gave him some candy, with, two of her best kisses. "O mamma," sobbed Willy on her neck, "wouldn't it be horril to live in a house where nobody kept the Golden B.ile?"Well-Spring. canity be unimpaired, and whose con dition requires perhaps more care, and certainly induces about as much suffer ing as any other.

How to Obtain Nice Lawns. The lawn mower is a great institution in many ways. In one respect, like many other modern inventions, it is a valuable device when properly used. Unfortunately it is generally operated without any other idea or purpose than to keep the grass cut short. This ; it is expected, will make a soft, velve sward; but it doesn't, unless the lawn can be deluged with water, which is not often the case. It should be borne in mind by ail persons desiring to have a rich full, soft and thickly set sward, that if the roots are exposed to the cover the front and sides, while the back is of plain Swiss muslin arranged I in full burnoose drapery. Panels of Swiss embroidery are still liked, one panel being down the front and one down each side of full round skirts; some wide lengthwise plaits separate these panels, and bridles of white watered ribbon are set down the plaits. The ribbons for muslin dresses are a feature this season, those of white moire being considered most dressy; then yellow, green, old-rose or blue is chosen, in two or three inch widths, with either feathered or satin edges. Embroidered Swiss muslin flounces are plaited around the foot of imported dresses, or else there are two deep flounces covering the front and sidos. sun 'they will be burned, and if not j or from three to five flounces are up partially destroyed, produce a thin, straggling erop. In order to avoid this the roots should never be exposed, but sheltered by the young grass they produce. The lawn mower should not be used until the grass has attained a length of at least four inches, then it should not be cut more than two inches in well set grass, leaving at least two inches to protect the roots. This ap plies only to properly graded lawns and a luxuriant growth. If tho soil is poor and the sward new, a longer growth should be kept cultivated. A beautiful, well-kept lawn requires in telligent treatment to become an orna mental adjunct to the family residence. Harriiburg (Pa.) Call. The Effect of-Association.

It has been suggested that by prop er management the seeds in the apple might be entirely eliminated. That is not half so important, however, as getting rid of seeds in the strawberry, blackcap, etc. These are not only a source of annoyance, but especially the strawberry seeds often cause serious irritation of the intestines. N. Y. Examiner. AdTuutages of the Former aized by All Authorities. The inventor who produces a cheap, simple and effective machine for roll ing hay after it has been cured and is lying on the ground will merit the thanks of farmers and will be in tho way to fame and fortune. Bales of hay that are cylindrical in form wfiT not pack as closely together as those that are rectilineal in shape, and are. therefore, not quite as desirable. But it is likely that a machine could be more easily constructed to make the lormer out or dried grass as it lies on the ground ready to be gathered by the rake. If such a machine could be produced it would do the work now performed by the horse or hand-rake, the pitchfork and the hay-press. It would put the hay in a condition where it could be easily handled, without the use of the fork or the loader. If th bales did not weigh more than a hun dred pounds each a strong man could pick them up and put them on a cart or wagon. Only one man would be required to load hay or to move it from the cart into the barn or under the roof that was to protect it. Baled hay is so compact that it occu pies but little space. If hay could be baled in the field nearly all farmoN would have buildings to store the entire amount they raised. Bound bales could be piled up like cord-wood and covered with a roof of thatch. As only the end s of the bales would be exposed they would receive little injury. Few farm ers in the West can afford to build barns that will hold all tho hay they raise. and sis lumber is constantly ad vancing in price there is little prospect that they will ever be able to store in buildings all the loose hay they pro duce. The waste of hay placed in stacks or ricks is large. Much of it is injured or ruined bv the rain and snow, and a still larger amount is blown away. In feeding it out to stock much is blown away. Bales of hay can be moved to the places where animals are to be fed without loss. They are con venient when hay is to be sold in a vil lage, and baled hay will always bring a larger price in towns, as most people who buy it have small stables. It is also preferred, for the reason that it aoes not litter up the premises. Hay is the best preserved in bales, and animals of all kinds will eat it cleaner than they will loose hay. It keeps its color better, and preserves most of its aroma. In these respects it is like hops and medicinal herbs.
