The Perils Of Agriculture.

We propos, to point out some Of the
most common errors into which agricul.
turi3t fall. First, there is always danger
in running in debt for farm. A debt
is mach e,sier incarel than discharged,
and farming is often too slow Il coach to
keep up with interest. Taa times change
ana 50 do market values. HInlrels Of
owners of townships ana stations at tho
West. wac were cnvlel for their rising
wealth two years ago, are today unable
to pay interest ami taxes. Those stand
slrest who pay as they 90.
There Is great danger Of getting too

without corresponding'y manuring it, is
another com mnon error. Manures lie at

Wawenock..
Brave Indian chief who calmly sleeps
Beside our lakelet's pulslng wave,
We fain would rear to thee a shaft,
And consecrate thy lowly grave.
Long years ago where now we sit,
Encircled BY domestic cheer,
Thy brawny arm struck down the foe,
Or sped the arrow at the deer
Or shot thy birchen bark across
The waters of our sylvan bay.
Or wooed thy dusky Indian mate
Upon the shore at close OF day.
But where thy weary bones repose
Ira lition does not deign to tell:
1t only says, "hn sleeps beside
The waters that he loved so WE'LL"
There may he rest--no marble pomp
Upon his grave per"hance some rock,
Up reared by natures fostering hand.
Will guard thy slumbers, Wawcnock
Sleep on. The waves upon the shore
Their melody will freel, grant
A requiem more sad and sweet
Than organ tone or minister chant.
