LEAVING THE NEST.
Two thrushes came to my garden,
In the bloom of the early spring,
And built their nest in the holly,
With many a flutter of wing;
And four little heads looked over
The rim of the well lined nest,
And 1 thought of the songs of the future
From my birds of the spotted breast.
1 went again to the garden,
And my little birds had flown;
The nest was there in the holly,
But all forsaken and lone:
For it needs the ampler spaces,
The higher and larger things,
And the nest is all too narrow
For the bird which has found its wings.
‘We made our nest in a garden,
Where the flowers of God are grown—
In a street of the crowded city,
But the nest was all our own;
And the children's voices filled it
With a music passing sweet,
And the home was a bit of Eden,
Though it locked on the narrow street.
For love had set them soaring.
And given them golden rings,
And the home-nest was too narrow
For the bird that had found its wings.
And as we sit in the gloaming,
And think of the long-ago,
‘Thou gh the house is strangely silent,
It is best it should be so;
For still we can hear the music,
As our little birdie sings
By its own sweet nest in the garden,
Now it has found its wings.
—By Dr. Henry Burton.
THE WITCH'S DAUGHTER.
It was well for old Elma Franklin that
Cotton Mather had passed to either the
heaven or hell in which he believed; it
was well that the Salem witchcraft days
were over, although not so long ago, or it
would have fared ill with her. As it was,
she was shunned, and at the same time
cringed to. People feared to fear her.
Witches were no longer feared in court,
and put to torture and death, but human
titions die hard. The heads there-
of may be cut off, but their obnoxious
bodies of fear and suspicions writhe long. |
People in that little New England village,
which was as stiff and unyielding as its
own trees which sentinelled so
many of its houses, knew nothing of that
making of horns which averts the evil
oe. y shuddered upon their ortho-
heights at the idea of the sign of the
cross, but many would have fain taken
refuge therein for the easing of their un-
quiet imaginations when they dwelt upon
old Elma Franklin. Many a woman
whispered to another under promise of
strict secrecy that she was sure that El-
ma bore upon her lean, withered body
the witch-sign; many a .nan, whea he
told his neighbor of the death of his cow
or horse, nodded furtively toward old El-
ma's dwelling. In truth, old Elma’s ap-
pearance alone, had it been only a few
rs ago, would have condemned her.
n was she, and withered in a hard,
brown fashion like old leather. Her eyes
were of a blue so bright that people said
they felt like swooning before their
glance; and what right had a woman, so
old and wrinkled, with a head of golden
hair, like a young girl's? Her own hair,
too, and she would wear no wig like oth-
er decent women of less than her age.
And what right had she with that flower-
like daughter Daphne.
Young creatures like Daphne are not
born of women like Elma Franklin, who
must have been old sixteen years agone.
Daphne was sixteen. Daphne had a Greek |
name and a Greek beauty. She was very
small, but very perfect, and finished like
an ivory statue whose sculptor had toiled
for his own immortality. Daphne had
golden hair like her mother’s, but it wav-
ed in a fashion past finding out over her
little ears, whose tips showed below like
the pointed petals of pink roses, and her
chin and cheeks curved as clearly as a
rose, and her nose made a rapture of her
profile, and her neck was long and slowly
turning, and her eyes were not blue like
her mother’s, but sweet and dark, and
gently regardant, and her hands were as

laid to bear upon and he was sent
away to Boston town, and Daphne wateh-

passions grew} for evil surely dwelt in
heart, as in most human rts, and
she had been sorely dealt with and badg-
ered, and the girl was her one delight o
life, and the girl's sorrow was her own
:
And whether she were a witch or not,
much brooding upon the with
wtich people regarded her made her
stars. And old Elma led her daugh-
ter the El

“Mother, you hurt me, you hurt me!”
moaned Daphne,and directly the mother’s
gash of the listle fais qm was as if she
a new-born babe.
“What aileth thee, sweetheart?” she 1
whispered, but the girl only sobbed gent-
<
“It is for thy lover, and not a maid in
the precinct so fair and good,” said the
mother, in her fierce old voice.
And Daphne sobbed again, and the
mother gathered her in her arms.
“Sweetheart, thy mother will compel
love for thee,” she whispered, and the
girl shrank away in fear, for there was e
something strange in her mother’s voice.
“I want no witchery, to call true love
to truelove.”
“If love cannot be called else, I want
not love at all.”
“But,
white witchery.”
“I want none, and besides—"
“Besides?”
The girl said no more, but the mother
knew tnat it was because of her that the
Jover had fled, and not because of lack of
ove.
“See, sweetheart,” said old Elma, "I
know a charm.”
“Sweetheart, watch thy mother cross
the field from east to west and from north
to south, and criss-cross like the spiders’
webs, and see if thou thinkest it harm-
ful witchcraft.”
“I will not, mother,” said the girl, but
she watched. |
And old Elma crossed the field from
east to west and from north to south, and
crisscrossed like the spiders’ webs, and
ever after her trailed lines of brighter sil-
ver than the dew which lay upon the field,
until the whole was like a wonderful
web, and in the midst shone a t silver
light as if the moon had fallen there,
although still in the sky.
Then came old Elma to her daughter,
and her face in the strange light was fair
and young. "Daughter,daughter,” said her
mother, "but follow the lines of light thy
mother’s feet have made and come to the
central light, and thy lover shall be

wickedly veined as if with unholy clawing |
as her mothers. |
Daphne led however, as lonely a life as |
her mother. People were afraid. Dark
stories, vile stories, were whispered
among that pitiless, bigoted people. Old |
Elma and Daphne lived alone in their
poor little cottage, although in the midst |
of fertile fields, and they fed on the milk
of their two cows, and the eggs of their |
chickens, and the vegetables of their gar-
den, and the honey of their bees. Old.
Elma hived tilem when they swarmed |
with never any protection for that strange |

times cast eyes askance at Daphne, but |
turned away, and old Elma knew the rea- |

But the daughter stood in her plas,

his heart in this world.”
And the mother was silent, for she tru-
ly knew not as to the spell whether it
concerned the soul's salvation.
But she had still another spell, which
she had learned from her strange book:

is sa
the 1910 display in the gigantic
Garden—one of the largest
hallsin America—was the first successful |
event of the kind east of the Mississippi.
{ When the people of the Pittsburg ter-
| ritory came to realize the scope, variety
and magnitude of this Show, which they
|did within a couple of days after the
| opening of the doors, the walls of Du-
quesne Garden were not
enough to hold them comfortably on any
| one of the remaining nights of the two
| weeks. At this wating enough of the
i space irr Duquesne Garden has been sold
to exhibitors to guarantee in 1911 more
than a duplicate of the achievement of
910.
No exhibit in this coming Show will
attract more attention than the one
which will display the marvels achieved
by Luther Burbank, the ant ie wizard
of California, disclosing
that has been opened up, through the dis-
they men will quote.
ying a great deal, indeed, for
a:
capacious |
great future |
in it, there are many exceptions.
dd spruce and Austrian and Scotch
pine have been carried from their native
home to other parts of Europe and to
America, and have been found well
worth the attention of the grower of
timber. Several of our own species, such
as the Douglas fir, black walnut, znd
others, have met with favor in Europe
and flourished there. The Australian
eucalyptus is proving a great find for
America and South Africa.
Our own white pine long ago crossed
the Atlantic in response to the needs of
Europeans, whose forests are compara-
tively poor in tree species, and is now
grown commercially on such a scale that
when it is wanted tor planting in its own
native habitat the German nurseryman is
often ready to deliver young plants here
for a lower price than our Own nursery-
Now the Germans are
going to try the Western larch also. The
request from the German nurseryman in-
structs the collectors to gather the
choicest seeds when ripe this fall. One
nurseryman cn Flath Lake has offer-
ed to exchange larch seeds for seeds of
desirable German shrubs, which he in-
tends to cultivate and sell in America.
In the same region, four or five months
ago, foresters of our own ent of
Agriculture gathered seed for use in the
neighboring Lolo Forest, where a new
forest-planting nursery was begun last
year.
The objects of the Guelph planting are,
according to local accounts, to protect
the town's water source by a forest cover
over its springs in the hills, to make
beautiful woods fora public park, and to
provide for a future timber supply as a
' municipal asset. In foreign countries,
forest tracts are often owned and man-
aged by towns and cities as a paying in-
vestment and to insure a permanent sup-
ply of wood for local consumption, but in
America planting by municipalities other
than for parks and for watershed protec-
| tion has scarcely been thought of. The
kinds of treesto be grown in the Guelph
! park have already been decided upon
| the Ontario Agricultural College. The
proposed reforestation promises to be of
| so great economic and sanitary value
| that the estimated cost of $8 per acre for
| importing and planting the seedlings and
| caring for the growing trees is regarded
; as well worth while.

General F. D. Grant, at a dinner at
West Point, once analyzed the mili

“Washington,” be said, “gave us our
independence by campaigning fauit-

There have been more brilliant sol-
diers than Washington, but there has
never been so sure a one. In warfare,

paign, a whole cause. Ard that re-

The firm way in which the bolero has
made its way to the front of fashion again
this season is worth remark. It began to
appear at the very end of last summer in
the models of an exclusive dressmaker
in the Rue de la Paix, a man, who
himself on his knowledge of the uy
arts, as well as on his flair as to what is,
the right thing for a woman to wear.
He first sent it out in the form of a
short silk coat with a full basque, the
waist line being indicated by a cord.
color.
Then others of his kind took up the
tale, and now the bolero, in some oh or
another, is worn by every woman who
follows fashion closely. There is one
kind which imitates the Russian blouse
in lace and has a black velvet band fas-
tened with a quaint buckle round the
waist. Such a little garment as this locks
very well on any dress, and could be used

coat fastens like a fichu in front and be-

The latest idea for the favorite taffeta
. bolero is to have a lawn collar in cream,
embroidered in vivid tones likes those of
the Russian embroideries; but for the
wear of the moment nothing equals the
daintiness of the lace bolero, only—and
the “only” is such a big one—the lace
must be good, or the effect is common.
