226 -LIFE: To Friends of Our Fresh Air Fund. HIE present supply of water at Lire’s Farm comes from an old well near the kitchen, and is so hard as to be unfit for ne which, of course, demands, many uses. It is pumped by ane nd attention. With ourtwo hundred children, and with all the washing, cooking and quenching of thirst that is always going on, the quality of the water is of great portance. On the hillside, across the ley through which the ri runs, there is a spring with an inexhaustible supply of the purest, care lroad t desirable water, This water can be carried to Lire’s nections made for less than three hundred e of the Farm and all co dollars, as the pipes would be laid along the surfa ground, the water being used only in summ If, among the many friends of this charity, certain ones should contribute toward giving us this better water, the deed will be heartily appreciated by Lire and his two thousand youthful summer guests.

HEY grow, as fair fowers grow, — But in the city street Brig What space, or place for flowers oms grow, Where hurrying footsteps beat ht heated, pure and wild— *s blo: So blooms each country child, «as Sprin The round of toilsome hours, And Labor strains, and sighs For playmates, glad and dear— And wheels of traffic grind— Where all the world is kind, Where should the young sad eyes And He of childhood find ? Safe from life's sordid cares, Nor grace, nor health, nor peace, merry sun and wi ven itself seems near Their real Free of its blot and stain, ‘or friendly winds, nor suns; A happy lot is theirs, No life—no room—for these, Children of field and lane!
