LOVE'S VOYAGE, We are going with the wind, Love, Blowing fair and free, Bomehow the breeze is always good That blows for you and me, Behind us lies tho dear old land, Before us dreams the new, Beneath us swells the joyous sea, Above us bends the blue, What is there that can hinder love, Or make our hearts afraid’ The ocean deep can never fail, The sky can never fade, You aromy universe, and I, Oh, Yam yours, my sweet ; Theatow can any cloud arise, Or any tempest beat? We are going with the wind, Love, Blowing fair and free, Bomehow the breeze is always good That blows for y ou and me, If wo go down, the sea is love, And holds us evermore ; Our tide, whatever way it move, Will reach a golden shore. «3, Thompson, in New York Independent, THE OLD CEDAR CHEST, EY H. M. HOKE. HAD not returned to my old home since the death of my parents, many years before the summer of which I write. That sum- mer, as will be seen, a powerful influence drove me from the of business, My uncle, who had taken charge of the place when my father died, received me cor lially at the spacious, old-fashioned farmhouse “Ralph,” he said, as we smoked on the wide porch after supper, * have a companion during you “A compan m!

We were inseparable play mates, and it ¢ asily came to be the wish and intention of our parents, so far as they could direct events, that weshould marry. But conditions changed. My father and mother died, and I soon left home ; and when I learned afterward that Mr. Northbrook, moved by smbi- tion, had sold his farm and gone to New York to live, my belief was that Grace and I were finally separated. Having been young when I left home, and whatever boyish liking I had had for little Grace Northbrook juickly ground into forgetful ness strife, the severing of ment caused me ning, after p my residence in New her again at a friend's surprise and pleasure Walking together that night on the broad piazza of my friend's house, I soon found that her temperament had brightened rather than dimmed.

I met her frequently after that, and our chief topic was . this youthful at tachment. She took particular de- light iz jesting about it in her half. reckless, light-hoarted way, and seemed to think it equally delightful to me, But, though I joined in her mirth, the effort was greeter onch time, end J realized that the boyish liking I had had for her as a little girl had risen into a man's love for the beautiful, sweet-hearted, woman into which she had grown. 1 saw, too, noble with growing concern, that, in the joy | of her love for Adlow, she was per. festly innocent of even a possibility of seriovsness on my pert; and, wishing more every day, ns I did, for a revival of our childhood engagemont, the danger into which we were drifting grew plainer, We were setting up a barvier of mirth, which, I feared, would bo difienlt to overthrow, At last T felt that I could no longer endare ths jesting upon what had be- come mered to me, and, shrinking from the possibility of her aroused sar- prise at a revelation of my love, X de- termined to go away. This determi. nation was fired ome evening when Grace came to me with the announce. ment that she had been authorized to invite me to afcompsny s party to spend two weeks at Long Branch.

Not many days after I made an excuse that took me from New York, and I home, “And now.” I said to myself while sitting alone on the farm porch, “she is coming here? her plans? The party was to Long Branch by this time. understand it.” The next day was rainy, and I spent it roaming over the old house to solve the puzzle of Grace's coming. Of course, she could not know that T was there, because I had kept my destina- tion a secret, and because had she known it, she would not have come. 1 felt that I could not long remain with her among those pleasant scenes of our childhood without t« ling my love, and the relations which she and Adlow sus- | tained toward each other forbade such a declaration. In the old farmhouse was a room | which had irresistibly attracted me as |a boy. It was a long, narrow partment, in which were preserved several ancient pieces of furniture, some curious prints, quaint records made by my grandfather while he had been a squire, and many other inter esting relies. One of the furniture was a large cedar which had been, in my childish eves, a veritable casket of wonders, Often had little Grace and I played in this room, and revelled in the of the chest, which embraced several old-fashioned playthings, a coat my great-grandfather wi Indian fight, with a bullet hole in its sleeve, a number of arrow casing, a tomahawk, sils, and four que ent: grandfather had : : a be at com- pieces of chest enriositieos Te 1D an hie ads, several moe- structed inv Unele f station. and her sur unbounded. doing herd g toward the Came, prise upon seeing me was “Why, what are Ralph 7" she asked, walkin carriage, vou “Rusticating,” I replied, evasively, as I helped her in.

Sometimes I felt that I had been weak in not declaring my love in spite of Adlow, but I could not make myself believe that she saw anything but fan in our relations, I amed far, and without seeing Grace again. I conld not face the ordeal of hearing that she had accepted Adlow, and if she should tell me of a refusal, I feared that she would meet lightly the confession that’ her boyish lover was her lover still in manhood. I was wenk —cowardly, but could not h it Late in the afternoon I hurried back to the house.

E. A. Popenoe and 8. C. Mason, of the Kansas Station, have found that the use of these second crop potatoes for seed the following spring has given much better returns than planting the regular erop. By the early planting of early varieties seed may be dag in July rip ¢ enough to grow a second erop that enmmer. Even vader the most favorable conditions this second erop will be comparatively lght, often small, but firm and of fine quality.
