THE FARMER There il no calling under
heaven more enobling than that of the farmer.
The patriarch of the field. as he sits beside his
cottage door when his daily toll is over, feels an
,nwald calm never known In the halls OF pride.
Where else can we look but to the products OF
the soil for safety OF investment and for an am
ole return? In commercial speculatiohs, all Is
chance and uncertainty, change and fuctuatlon,
rise and fall. In mercantile life scarcely one IN
ten can avoid even bankruptcy. But with the
tllsr of the soil how different? AS long as God
is good and Nature puncual, so long is he Ia
sured of lie of plenty, happiness and health.

blood in her veins. Gustav Itasch, a Ger

ages to scrape up all the piquant and in

has lately been through Spain. In one OF
his letters 10 an Austrian paper he says:
"In Malaga many years ago there lived n
poor German toy-dealer, who had a very
beautiful daughter, TO whom the third son
of Count Montjo, a wealthy Andalusian,
began to make love. The toy-dealer's
beautiful daughter was as sensible as she
10 was beautiful, however, and repealed the
advances of the young count, saying,
without marriage, no love- Tit Young
@ count was, however, really in love with the
poor girl, and, in spite of the opposition Of
his father and his whole family, he married
% her. The old count was enraged at thiA

married life Of the young couple was at
FIRST very gloomy. But the young countess

husband died; and the latter became the
heir TO the title and possessions Of his
rich father. The daughter of this poor
German girl is the Empress of the French,
