So fuller me down thro' the cow-lot Thro' paths nude by cattle and sheep, To where in the shade by the tall ellmns made The dd crick is into sleep; Where sighs of the tired breeze whisper To quiet the waters at play. An' the dreamy coo coo of the turtle dove true Frightens care-phantoms Fer I like to set hyur a thiiikuu' An' usinr the waters 'at play What's come 'o he dear little boy 'at played here In the days 'o the long ago?

And think of the attraction it adds to a place, to speak nothing- of the beneficial after results besides. You can take a good road for in stance how much better that road would be if all would cut the weeds along their adjoining farms. And looking at the matter from a moral standpoint, is it right my dear friend and neighbor that you allow the weeds on your pre-mises to grow.

and adjoining you is a neighbor who tries to exterminate the weeds on his place? Of course it is not an entire success, and you do wrong in -my judgement by not doing your duty; first to yourself as well as to that neighbor. HOfVUEWOOD OTTAWA REPUBLIC. Mrs. V. II.
