I Didn t Know Wliat it Meant.
He gave me a knife one day at school,
Four-bladed, the handle of pear],
And great black words on the wrapper said,
“ Poj- the dariingest little girl.”
1 was glad—oh, yes, yet the crimson blood
To my young cheek came and went,
And my heart thumped wondrously pit-a-pat,
But I didn’t know what il meant.
One night he said I must jump on his steed,
For the snow was falling fast—
I was half afraid, but he coaxed and coaxed,
And got me on at last.
Lnughing and chatting in merry glee,
To my home his course he bent,
Wy sisters looked at each other and smiled,
But I didn’t know what it meant.
The years passed on, and they touched his eyes
With a shadow or deeper blue ;
They gave to his form a manlier grace,
To his cheek a swarthier hue.
We stood by the dreamily rippling brook,
When the day was almost spent—
His whispers were as soft as the lullaby—
And—now I know what it meant.

Curious Effects of Camomile.—A
decoction of the leaves of common camo
mile vyll destroy all species of insect, and
nothing contributes so much to the health
of a garden as a number of camomile
plants dispersed through it. No green
house or hot-house should ever be without
it, in a green or dried state—either the
stalks or flowers will answer. It is a sin
gular fact, that if a plant is drooping and
apparently dying, in nine cases out of ten
it will recover if you plant camomile
near it.
