MONTHLY VERSE OR OLD

The unwelcome thistle thrusts abroad its seeds
That buoyant float upon the passing breeze;
The careful labourer checks the rampant weeds,
And twines around their stalks his trailing peas.
With song, and hum, and buzz, and ripple rife,
Earth's sun-kissed bosom teems with lusty life.

dotted rule, A.M.
SAYING.

June if sunny brings harvest early.
A good leak in June sets all in tune.
If on the eighth of June it rain,

It foretells a wet harvest men sain.

Proverb-Great haste makes great waste.

MONTHLY VERSE OR OLD SAYING.

The birds, grown silent, shelter 'mong the trees,
Where now the young their timid flight essay;
The bearded barley bows before the breeze,
With poppies tall each single field is gay,
The farmer now hath work to mow and weed,
While added care his moulting poultry need.

Till St. James's day is past and gone,
There may be hops or there may be none.

Proverb-One lie makes many.

it by less than half-an-hour. Of the three planets, Saturn alone remains to us, and is low down in the south-west, Uranus, it may be remarked for those with telescopes, being now as throughout the year its near companion. Saturn is not particularly well placed during 1897 for telescopic observation; it is so far south

tation as it now offers, a good telescope and keen sight may enable the observer to detect gaps and notches in the outer portion of the ring, which give visual evidence of the correctness of Clerk Maxwell's mathematical analysis.

Proverb-Slow help is no help.
