rySTERY, I did not love him; longl ago e Instead of Yes I gave him No. I I did not love him, but today V I read his marriage notice. Pray I Why was I sad, when never yet Has my heart known the least regret Over that whispered No? And why Reading the notice, did I sigh? No analyst can guess the cause; A woman's reason laughs at laws. Sure, I am glad to know the wound I gave Is healed; that he has found Love's blessedness ard peace, and yet Today I seem to see him stand, With every glance a mute caress, Still pleading for the longed-for Yes. His early love for me is dead Another lives in that love's stead. And It he loves her well, as men should love their chosen ones, why then me must he glad that long ago Instead of Yes I gave him No. Perhaps that Is the reasou why I read the notice with a sigh.

Bread corn is bruised because he will not ever be thrashing it." There are three kinds ot seed men tioned-fitches, cuninin andl. corn. ( 4 the last we all know. But it nav he well to state that the litches and the cummin were small seeds, like tie car raway or the chickpea. When these grains or herbs were to be thraished, they were thrown on the ioor, and the workmen would come arotind with stall or rod or flail and heat tliemt until the seed woulu be separated, butL wlien the corn was to be thrashed ,hat wits I brown on tile floor, and the mien would lasten horses or oxen to a cart with iron dent ed wneels. 'liat cart wouh be dratwin around the lirasliing foor, amd so the work would be accomplishedi. Different kinds of tirashig for dilerent prodiu.tAls. "The fitches oe tt thrashed wit it a thrashing instrument, nelthier is at cart wheel turned aboutit ilion te cummit, but the fitclies ate beaten outt with a stff aand the cummin w it a roi.

They left oin board the largest and best sail boat oc the river. She hmd mado the trip many times before arid had proyei a list-class traveler as wellas a safe boat. Altt ough quit.e it large, she haed never, however, taken s9 many passengers before. le trip to Frost's Mill was mnade in beautiful style vnd there was not. an incident to llmair tei pleasires of the day. In the afternoon the ipr 'ty started oil the re torn trip. Three of A,le young men re it t 'ied in a row boat, leaving twenty ie three on board the yacht. The latter sailed halmdsomnely the greater portion of the way b..ek and nothingr appeared to be tit, matter wit I her.
