IN THE VALLEY.
————————
To -day, when the sun was lighting my house
on the pine-clad hi'l,
The broast of a bird was ruffle as it perched
on my window-sil’,
And aleaf was chased by the kitten onthe
breoze-swept garden walk,
And the dainty head
- Of a dahlia red
Wes stirred on its slender stalk,
Oh! happy the bird at the rose (res, unheed-
ing the threatening storm!
And happy the blithe leaf-chuser, 1ejoicing in
sunshine warm!
They take no thought f r the morrow
know no cares to-day;
And the thousand thiogs
That the future brings
Are a blank to such as they.

dicharadson picked up the soft little
cylinder and looked at it again
“*Wuat did you call it?" he ssked.
“*Mummy-brown,” replied Kuowliton,
taking a brush from between his lips to
speak, and touching the canvas before
him with it.
“*Brown it undoubtedly is,” remarked
his friend, ‘but where dovs the mummy
come in?"
** Ia the tube, my boy,” returned the
painter, half closing bis eyes and putting
his head on one side to observe the wifeet
of his last stroke: *‘because it is made
of pulverized Egyptian mummies, ind
jt is one of the best colors we have.”
Richardson put the tube back upon
the much littered studio table, and
whistled softly.
“*Well,” said he, *‘you may count me

comes to using dead men’s bodies to
make pictures with. 1'd be afraid they
would come back again!”
“Nonsense,” said Knowlton, laughing

with the of an uneducated critic,

added, suddenly, **you’ve maae that tall

Knowlton shrugged his shoulders.
“I had an idea his face was something
like mine,” lie aoswered; *‘but as that
is a common trick of ours, I have not
given 1t a second thought. What [ am
striving for isa good picture, not pur

“Rent not paid?’ asked his friend.
“That's too bad —1"ve been there myself,

“Or, better still,” returned Knowlton,

out upon his palette, *‘my own old-time

the paint with the tip of one finger, and
a shiver, at the same time, passed over
him, leaving him strangely pale and
shaken,
“Yes, but—hello, what's wrong?" ex-
claimed Richardson, noticing the change
in his friend’s face.
“Nothing—1I don’t know-—a touch of
vertigo, that's all,” returned the painter,
gonlinedly; *J--what were you say-

The Potato Centuries Ago.
It has been proved beyond a doubt
that at the time of the discovery of
America the cultivation of the potato
was practiced with every appearance
of ancient usage in the temperate re-
gions from Chili to New Grenade, at
altitudes varying with the latitude,
The name of the discoverer of the
potato is unknown, but Du Candolle
sums up the history of its discovery
as follows:
“The potato is wild in Chili in a
form which is still seen in our culti
vated plants; it is doubtful whether
its natural home extends to Peru and
New Grenada: its cultivation was
diffused before the discovery of
America, and it was introduced in
the latter half of the sixteenth cen
tury into that part of the United
States now known as Virginia and
North Carolina, and the potato was
imported into Europe first by the
Spaniards and afterward by the Eng.
lish at the time of Raleigh's voyages
to Virginia.”
