TEN DERS.

“The Country Woman,

Before the blacksmith’s shop she waits, In her high country wagon sitting,

While tho good smith with friendly haste Her horse’s clumsy shoe is fitting.

He pares and measures, stirs his fire; His hammer blows riag out with shrill- ness Into the August afternoon, Steeped in its dreamy twilight stillnees.

With anxious eye sue watches him,

Shadows grow long o’er field and road, And weary faimers leave their haying.

High in the elm trees o’er the way,

On sunlit boughs the birds are singing Their cradle songs above their nests, Within the whispering sweetness swinging.

She knows at home the patient cows Stand lowing at the bars to greet her,

And anxious goodman scans the road, And sends the children out to meet her.

She knows the supper fire is lit,

The heaith swept clean, the kettle singing, The kitchen table cleared to hold

The things from town that she is bringing.

And smiles in honest rustic pride At the shrewd, hard bargains she’d been making Of snowy egys and creamy cheese, For cloth and shoes and “things for bakin.”

| The setting sun lights up her face, ; Turning its harshness into beauty— Picture ot rustic peace and pride,

Of homely happiness and duty.

Grain Rust Again.

Srr,—When we were discussing the rust question last fall, it was stated that in Kurope it had been ascertained that grain rust passed its early spring stage on the leaves of the Barberry, and on nv other plant. As the Barberry does not grow gen- eraily on P. E. Island—only a few plants vecurring in gardens and hedges about Charlottetown—I came to the conclusion | that the rust must have found some native planton which to pass through its early stage of development. Accordiagly, as*our native tress aad ,plants came inte gleaf this spring, 1 watched them carefully for the appearance of the rust fungus. Ona the leaves of the beach, birch, raspberry, and other p‘ants, various forms of fungi were observed, but ‘only on the leaves of the little native |viviets (viola blanda and v. cuculata) was the true dizidia of the grain rust to be seen.

The violets are humble little plants that rear their leaves in moist, shadowed cor- ners. At the present time, swollen yellow spots may be observed on many of these leaves. They aye the wcidium of the rust ifungus. It we examine them on the under jside of the leaf with a magnifying glass, we

will see numerous little cups rising above the surface, filled with vast numbers of bright yellow

spores, or seeds. These are now being | shed by myriads on the passing breeze. | ‘Phe situation on the violet leaves is not one \favorable for the dispersion of the rust | spores, but they svon reach the native ;grasses which grow in the vicinity. Ou | these the rust fungus again matures in an- lother form in ten days, and sends out its muititudes of summer spores to attack the fresh growth of luxuriant grain fields. . Wehave now made an advance in our study of the rust. We have ascertained exactly where it passes its first stage of growth in the spring, and have the means ‘at hand of greatly curtaiiing its ravages, Let us clear up the damp, shaded burders |where the violets grow, and in piace of ‘scrub bushes and wild plauis, encourage a growth of useful grasses. This wii) exter- ,minate the violets, and the rust fungus, | deprved of a hest-piaut, will be to a great !extent exterminated alsv. ' Tho Barberry, however—the original host- plaut of the rust—should be ruthlessly destroyed wherever found, There is a hedge of it at Mr. Wright's, St. Peter's Road, which should be destroyed, even if .the government has to remunerate the ‘owner,

We are sorry to impeach those modest beauties, the udorous vivicts of spring, but as they have taken to harboring sv vile an enemy of agriculture as the grain rust, ‘we must tell the truth about tiem, and ad- vise their banishnent with all the sweet | poetry that hangs round their early bloom-

Her busy thoughts are homeward straying; |

Come aad tuspect, as I am determined to theough tae surrounding country, which is

for gain. The fact that they had promised to close their stores on that day, and had so little sense of honor that they broke that promise, would lead one to sup- pose the latter was the cause, that the pro- privtors or some of the clerks of these establishments had a holiday counts for nothing. The stores were kept open and they have gained very little but the well merited coutempt of all honorable people.

In pleasing contrast is the conduct of 4 Souris merchant who invited one of the Montague party into his office tu have a quiet chat iiey were followed in by a littie girl who asked for helf a pound of tea. The proprietor said he could not sell her any that day. Ou her saying, ** But mamma has no teain the house” he took up a handful, put it in paper and told her to take it,

Example, it is said, is more powerful than precept. Let us hope that this manly end honorable conduct will be imitated, not only by Montague merchants, but by those who formed the mean exception in Char- lottetown, and we will find next Dominion ’ Day universally observed.
