THERE-IS BUtK ?Jf THE BLUE
OF THE SKY.
An artist one day ai his easel stood,
And sketched with a pencil five,
?be go'd of the meadow, the green of the
wood,
And the purple and gray of the sea.
A child looked over a little r?ay back,
And questioned the artist,*" Why,
Do you mix with your color a touch of
black,
When you paint the blue io the sky ?"
" Only because I see it, my child ;
I am painting the sky as it is ;"
And he softly said to himself and smiled :
"lt is one of earth's mysteries;
Not the lily itself wears a perfect white ;
x?or the rad rose an unmixed dye;
There is light in shadow, and shadow in
hght,
And black in the blue of the sky."
There are films over nature everywhere,
To soothe and relresh our sight,
m niQrtroyes were not made to bear
The dazzle of shadeless light.
Oar consolation and our complaint
Awaking both smile and sigh ;
There are human faults in the holiest
saint;
There ie black in 4he blue of the sky.
What th en,?- -AJtttiie-akes indeed not bine,
Lilies white, nor the roses red ?
Bhall we doubt whether ever the crvsli
dew
.~?rop9'pearis on the path wr tread
We may fl ?ell where there, is no blue ic
the any * asa
No veil over earth, by and by,
But go. d always and everywhere.
Though black may steal into blue sky.
We have read from the leaves of an old
-fashioned Book,
Of One in the glory unseen,
Whose g^E*. the poor-seraphim -dare not
brook, - r -
Before whom tbVneaver?'are-andean
And the hope of immortals ia in the
thought |{
Of'a Truth and Love so high
That possible evil Bullies them not ;
No black itt;the?bine pf their sky.

The parasitic fungi which infest
potato vines and other "' vegetables
most important to man, as furnishing
bia. staple articles.1 of fooSd, constitute
a gronp of special interest to the mi
croscopist as well as to the farmer.
Some of these forms of mould or
mildew are most beautiful objects

But most farmers are only too well
acquainted with them as pests, s nd
consequently do not admire .eitbei
their peculiar lorm or their elegant
structure. They know from Bad ex

rarmiiig for Pleasure.
Many persons who are engaged io
farming fora livelihood orasabrancb
of business do not regard it as a very
pleasurable occupation. In "act, they
complain of their monotonous life
and of their lack of the means of en
joyment. Many farmers make their
plans to spend the latter years of
their lives in some town, where they
can have more to er joy than they do
on the farm. Men who become rich
m cities, however, desire to letire to
the country, and very many of them
do so. A large proportion of tbe
very wealthy men in the city own
and manage farms. Several bf them

of agiiculture, fruit grow ine . and

unless he was prepared to sever his

are plain, practical discourses on the
