young and foolish, for we had nothing to be
married with but Mary was delicate, and
thought | could take care of her best

depend upon.
We rented d chamber and went TO house
keeping. We got together a little furniture
a table, bedstead, dishes--but our money fail

Mary she must turn up tub for | could not
run in debt. No, no. 1t was not long before
our rich neghbor, Mrs. --, found us out
and kindly enough she supplied us; half a
dozen chairs added to our store. They were
old ones TO be sure, but answered Just as well
for Us. / shall never forget the face the
chairs put upon our snug quaTters-they new
er looked just right before. The tables are
turned with MIS-. , and me now-she
has become a poor widow, ''but she shall ne
yer want while | have nything, neyer!" cried
the old man with beaming fac; ; II don't
forget those old chairs"
All, now the secret was out. 1t was the
interest IN the Old chairs which maintained the
poor widow. She was living on the interest
and compound interest Of a little friendly act
done years before, and il suiIiced for herself
and her daughter.
How beautiful it is TO see how God blesses
the operation of his great moral law, Love
thy neighbour" and we should oftener see it,
could we look into the hidden paths Of life,
and find that it is not self interest, nor riches
nor fame, that binds heart to heart. The sim
pie power of d friendly act can do more than
they. 1t is these, the frndly acts, the neigh
bohy kindness, the Christian sympathy, OF
one toward another, which rob wealth Of its
power to curse, extract the bitter from sorrow
and open wells Of gladncs in desolate homes.
We do not always see the golden links shi-
ming in the chain of human events but they
are there, and happy is he who feels their gen
tie but irresistible influence.

We take the following brief account of the
life of DR.. Judson from the New York Inde-
pendent:
Rev DR.. AdOniram Judson was the son of
a Congregational minister of the same name
was one of the earliest students of Andover
Seminary, and one of the first band of young
men that devoted themselves to the work Of
American Missions TO the heathen. He was
sent out to confer with the London Mis-
sionary Society, and his report determined our
churches to act independently. He sailed to
Calcutta in 1912, with Rev. Samuel Newell,
Samuel Mott, and Luther Rice, all with their
wives.
On reaching Calcutta, Messrs Judson. and
Rice adopted the views Of the Baptists Rice
came home to stir up the Baptist churches TO
the work Of foreign missions, and Judson
went to Bunnah where he has continued for
nearly 10 years, He translated the whole
Bible into the language of that country, be-
sides compiling dictionary, and an immense
amount Of other literary labor in addition TO
the laborious preaching of the gospel. He
returned to this country in 1917, and mar
ried for his third wife Miss Emily Chubbuck,
known 10 the literary world by the fancy name
of Fanny Forester. The need Of honor due
to his scholarship can never be fully estlma-
ted but by the miltitudnous people who ben
eft by his works. As a missionary, no man
has been more perseyering, more heroic, more
devoted.
His faith, and labors, and patience-his
honored name and cherished memory, will be
the common heritage of the Christian world.

PREPARING LAND FOR \ CEoP.-A far

requires a weeks work, at least, to pre-
pare it for corn, oats or barley. Now
how ought he to proceed

after day to dry and bake in the sun,
without the least attention till the plow-
ing Of the whole field is completed.

let me ask what Is the use Of blowing

half a crop when it is only half pulyer-

4 Mosr UNREASONABLE EDIToR.--The
Pawtucket Chronicle, after publishing, verba-
tim ct lteratfn, the communication Of cor
respondent who differs from mos orthograph-
lists in certain particulars, appends this unrea-
sonabe notice:
'We cannot spend time to correct the wri-
tings of persons who borrow GU paper to find
fault with It."
Now, will the Chronicle please to give Us
its ideas of the newspa per editors We have
noticed in various quarters ce tain radical nU-
tions touching this subject, which, if they are
not checked, threaten to lead to the most dam
oerous consequences. Editors are beginning
in numerous cases to act as though really their
time was their own, as though me obligations
between them and their subscribers-nOt to
sneak Of their bCrrOwers-were somewhat mu-
tuaI. We have seen several instances where
editors have positively declined TO correct
manuscripts Of a few dozen cIosely-written
pages, on both sides, although expressly in
formed that they were .'at liberty" TO make an
alteration if they might see 1T. We have TO-
ticed several atrocious cases where editors
have had the audacity to demand pay for cost
of publishing matters Of the highest public
importance, such as resolutions of thanks 10
steamboat captains. puffs Of new schools. and
obituary notices Of infant children. Some
thing must be done TO put stop To this. or
editors will soon begin to think that they have
the same right as other peoPle.-Pror.Joltr

Madison Mills.

The Messrs. Farwells will soon have in op-
Grafton their Touring mill, which is being erec-
ted at an expense Of from 100000 to $4,000.
The construction embraces the latest improve
ments in mill building, and probably when
completed, will be second to no similar estab-
lishment in the State. The building is fifty
feet square on the ground, five stories high.
and presents to the eye the appearance of
beauty, durability and strength The first
tree for the building was cut from the stump
about the middle Of May, last, and by the 18th
of October, the proprietoTs hope to See 1t COM
pleted. This rapid progress evinces degree
of enterprise truly commendable, and quite in
keeping with the spirits of the age. Itis es-
timated that the mill will BE capable, with its
eight run of stone to -four 900 bushels of
wheat per year. The mill will flour large
quantities of grain for merchandise, and will
possess faculties for packing one thousand,
four hundred and forty barrels per minute.
