Respect Old Age--A True Story.

A Young gentleman fresh from college,
who had more knowledge of books han
of mon, was vending his way to the Rev.
DR.. c., of c. The DR.. was exren-
slvely known and respected Tor his ener-
gv of character, his learning, and plety,

apostle, be did not disdain 10 "labo: with

With a letter of introduction 10 the
aged divine, whom he had known only
by reputation, our geuteel young friend
was seeking the privilege of an acqnaint-
ance with him.
"Oid daddy" said he to an aged la
borer, in the field BY the way side, whose

his own broadcIoth and kid gloves and

Without condescen1ing to thank him
fJr the information, the young man rode
on, and soon found himself seated ia the
parIor of Dr. C's hospi;abe residence, al
the invitation of the lady of the house,
awaiting the expected arrival OF the DC
tor.
In due time the host appeared, having
returned from the field, LAID aside his wei
garments and adjusted his person. Bu

guest, whom should he meet in the Rev

There is an Outward splendor, which
Deceives the simple-oft the wise,
Who dream that meath covering rich,
The Dignity of Manhood lies,
Forgetting that the outward slate,
Muy cloak both foolishness and sin,
While all thai makelh Manhood great,
Cleans like polished gem within!
The love for Trutl-the will to do
An aim unbending, though it seem
Unto the multitude untrue,
Or but the madness of dream,
Which fears nor Force, nor Scorn nor Jest,
Bat rushes onwardto the goal,
He who thus bears with daunlless breast
Doth wear that jewel in his soul!
lie who, selfwise at Wisdom frowns,
And SCORES the Thought he ne'er possess
Tho men shower on him Gav'ring crowns
Is but foolish slave at best
A slave to error-captve bolnd;
Who. cropping in The shades of night,
Looks on tie darkness wild around,
And calls the rayless Dlackness light!
Our being is an endless strife
A ceaseess search for hidden things,
And he best knows the ends of life,
Who sp eaGs on high the boldest wings;
Who breaks the chains which Custom binds
Abound the struggling limbs of Man,
And for the future, Labor finds
In reaping what his Thought began!
The men Of ActiOn-thev who toll
While nmltitudes around them play,
And by their ignorance despoi,
The free gifts of the blessed day
These are thr men whose earnest Thought,
Filled with the greatness OF their strife,
And Of the Blessings to be wrought
Bears the true dignity of Life.
Befnre them spreads rayess night,
And shadows mocking fiji their way;
Behind them CLEANS flashing light,
Which brings the Fullness of the Day.
Old thoughts, long worn as trusty chains,
Before the brght-winged Spirit fly,
While songs of Hope fili all the plains,
Aud cheers Of gladness reach the sky!
The health of Life-the Sun-the air,
Are free gifts unto all Mankind
But who win gift more rare
The treasured Fullnes of the Mind
Must watch and toll and struggle loug-
With snckcloth grid his restless soul
And dare, tho 'ganst him rise the SIrong,
10 rush where'er the strife .waves roll
Truth, vaor, 6rmness, make the Man;
With these, the weakest shall be strong;
For since the changing world began,
This truth hath triumphed fail and long.
Where CT thy Fortune casts thy way
If thou hast leaned, and fearless fought,
Thou u. in thee bear the light of Day,
And Triumph in u noble Thought!

In July, 1912, Mr.. A. Palmer put one
grain Of wheat in a common garden pol
In August the same was divided into four
plants, which in three weeks were again
divided into IL plants. in September
these II plants were divided into 50 which
in November were divided into so plants,
and then placed in open ground. In Ju-
ly, 1913, IL of the plants failed, but the
remaining SO were healthy. Ga the
l9.h of August they were cut down, and
counted 1912 stems, with an average Of
so grains 10 stem, giving an increase
of 99,6OO!!
Now sir, if this be practicable meas.
urc of planting wheat, it follows tina: most
of the grain now used for seed. may be
saved. and will infntey more than cover
the extra expense of sowing, as the wheat
plants can be raissd by the laborer in his

pIoyed in dividing and trausplaning
them.
