Throughout the length and breadth of
many a pleasant country in these populous
islands, the month of August is devoted to
the securing of the harvest, and to the in.
gathering of the kindly fruits of the earth.
But it must be borne in mind that the work
of the field presents elements of a more try-
ing aspect than that of almost any other
avocation. Take the vast range of our in-
dustrial occupations in the towns, and in a
host of them it is found that they can be
carried on irrespective of wind or weather,
and without regard to storm or flood, light-
ning or tempest. There are tradesand crafts
innumerable, in which the mechanic and the
artisan handle merrily their tools in well-
protected workshops. Listen to the clang of
hammers which issues forth frpm our dock-
yards and arsenals; the sound comes not
from the open air, but from under immense
sheds covered with strong metallic roof.
Rain or sunshine, it matters not to those
hives of busy bees, for the weather cannot
affect the return which they expect from
their toil, nor can its adverse influences de-
prive them of that reward for their industry
which every honest man naturally anticipates.
Contrast these conditions of earning a liveli-
hood with those which encompass the life of
the farmer. His livelihood dep.nds upon
the ever varying fluctuations of the tempe-
rature in an uncertain and capricious
In the waning days of autumn, let the win-
dows of heaven be opened forty days and
forty nights, let the sky he black with clouds,
and the soil sodden with a continuous and
pitiless downfall of rain, and what becomes
of his opportunity for sowing in order that
he may reap his next year's crop? Or look
at him at another season of the year—the
spring. The snnshine has returned to re-
lease the ground from the icy grasp of win-
ter, the fresh foliage of the trees is merry
with the frequent song of birds; there is a
blaze of brilliant weather which pushes for-
ward vegetation to an unwonted extent, and
brings out the blossoms of the fruit trees in
all their varied glory of colour. Then en-
sues a cold and sunless May, with frosty
nights, and cutting east winds, which cruelly
destroy the blossoms in most instances, and
leave those which remain to bring forth fruit
almost as tasteless as the apples gathered
from the shores of the Dead Sea. Where
are the chances of the fruit crop now?
Oftentimes they perish in a single night, and
where this is not the case, they are as likely
not to perish under the blighting and wither-
ing influence of the eastern blasts. Once
more, let us note the farmers anxiety during
the summer months. The weather may have
been everything that he could have desired
for the ripening of his wheat. Perhaps there
has been a trifle too much drought, as the
root crops and the pasture lands could testify.
Still, the sun has been most beneficient to-
wards the wheat, and he only requires a dry
harvest-time to make a success of h's year's
operations. There is the rub. Ten chances
to one but what the long spell of dry weather
is suddenly broken at the most critical time.
Many an hour during the scorching
days of June and July has he wished for a
little rain; huge fissures in the thirsty soil
have testified to the parching of the land, as,
day after day, it has looked up to
the hot and hu”nirg skv. led. his seerrierl
almost human in its pathetic aspect of endur-
aace. Then the wind gradually veers round.
The wire of the villarr,e steeple has fo” weeks
