PRErENsloN.- People who 90 through the
world with flourish rarely have anything
else. 1t is cheap and paltry existence,
and may be compared to bass drum, which
makes a great deal Of noise, but mas not the
slightest music. The hest part of comet
is MOI in its Haunting, but in its magnetic
body; the best people in the world are not
those who flourish md parade and smash
and crash along, but the quiet, thinking,
pushing, working class.

Poetry.
FINISH THY WORK.


Finish thy work-the time is short
The sun is in the West
The night is co ina down: till then
Think not of rest.
Yes, finish all thy work, then rest;
Till then, rest never;
The rest prepared for thee by God
Is rest forever.
Finish thy work, then wipe thy brow,
I'ngird thee from thy toll
Take breath, and from each weary limb
Shake Off the soil.
Finish thy work, then sit thee down
On some celestial hill.
And of it's rength-reyiving air
Takethou thy fill.
Finish thy work, then go in peace.
Life's battle fought and won;
Hear from the hrone the Master voice,
ssW ell done well doner'
Finish thy work. then take thy harp,
Give praise TO God above;
Sing 4 new song OF mighty JOY
And endless love.
Give thanks to Him who held thee up
In all thy paths below.
Whe made thee faithful unto death.
4~tJ And crowns thee now ts

If they cannot save large sums they will not
save anything. They do not realize how Il
daily addition, be it ever SO small, will soon
make large pile. If the young men and
women OF to-day will only begin, and begin
now, to save litle from their earnings, and
plant it i'll the soil Of some good savings
bank, and weekly or monthly add their mite,
they will wear u happy smile Of competence
and independence when they reach middle
life. Not only the pile itself will increase,
but the desire and ability 10 increase it will
also grow. Let clerk aud tradesman, labor

parents teach their children to begin early

tsol the stream OF extravaganza, and then
work will be easy. To choose between
spending aid saving is to choose between
poverty and riches. Let your youth go on
IN habits of extravaganza, for lily years

MORE BRAIN AND LESS MUscLE.-An OBJ
servant traveller in agricultural districts,
writes these true words:
ut has often struck me forcibly, while
riding about the country, that there is a de-
plorable want of proper management of their
business among farmers. They depend too
much on main strength and awkwardness'
for success. Hand work is made to supply
the place of head work. There is too much
Of shutting, temporizing policy adopted
No attention is paid to picking up the loose
ends, attending to small details, cconomi-
ziug labor, preserving the soil, improving
quantities of grain or stock, and the like
They lack, in short. what the old lady had
such faith in, CONTINUANCE
II believe that one of the greatest mis-
takes the farmers, many Of them, make, is
leaving their grain in the shock too long
This is often done to save stacking, as it is
thr she'd right from the shock. This prac-
tice is indisputably poor one. There are
often heavy storms, as has been the case
this season, and the grain becomes injured.
10 avoid this danger alone, wheat should be
stacked as soon as possible. 1t is also dem
onstrated that the wheat improves by stack
ing and going through the sweating process
more than enough to pay the expense of
stacking it,
The practice farmers have Of raising
wheat on the same land year after year, of
burning their straw, Or sowing poor seed, of
shallow blowing, all these things tend to the
final impoverishment of the farmer, and the
general detriment of the country. More
brains and less muscle would improve the
management of our agricultural affairs"

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

A New PLow.-At the Agricultural Fair
recently held at Hagerstown, Md, new
blow was exhibited, which is thus describ
ed:
.sThe plow which excited the most inter
est was the Osborne pillow, exhibited by Ma
jor II. w Mason, of Hagerstown. 1t is
! fearful innovation on all our traditional ideas
of the plow The two handles between
which the plowman walks, and guides the
share and point, have come down to US from
the remotest antiquity, and Mr.. Osborne
must be a brave man to attempt to make a
pillow without them; but he has attempted
it, and has succeeded. The plow-boy, who
has for ages walked in the furrow and left
the imprint of his toes in the fresh mould,
has f.ured we'll in story and song s;and, on
the whole has been a useful lad. But, in
my opinion, his days are numbered. In the
thrteth century he will be considered a
myth, and will be classed with the boys who
used to pillow with forked sticks on the banks
Of the Nile. Mr.. Osborne has done much
towards hurrying this honest and industrious
boy into oblivion He has remorselessly
sawed off the handles by which the plowman

spring seat between pair of wheels,
where he sits and drives his horses, having
absolutely nothing to do when the ground is
smooth Should he encounter rocks or
stumps, he raises or lowers his pillow with q
lever, as the necessities Of the case demand.
At the end of the furrow he swings his pillow
clear o: the ground and turns around with
out any of the hauling and tugging that is
necessary with the old fashioned pillow This
pillow turns furrow sixteen inches wide and
eight inches deep with perfect case, and two
horses draw it apparently with less effort
than they would an ordinary pillow In a

days work. am not a practical farmer,
but, in my humble judgment, the work done
by this pillow was equal to that done by the
best three horse plows. and was done in half
the time. The cost Of this pillow is about
$45. In smooth land it win certainly SUI
persede all others. The inventor, however.
claims that it will work as well as any other
pillow among the rocks, and that it is only
when tried in rough and uneven ground that
its greatest merits appear"

The ERE still continues burning in the
east ledge Of the Kentuck, near the
yellow Jacket line, but is apparently
subdued than i, was yesterday,
owing to the energetic measures
adopted for eItinguishing it. The
supply of water from the town hydrauts
fell short at noon to-day, but a fresh
supply will be given at 6 o'clock this
evening. This is led through the hose
Of the FIRE department down the Crown
Point shaft into the 7OO.foot level, and
brought to bear upon the FIRE as
efficiently AS possible ; but, AS we have
bafore stated, it is extremely diff
cult to get at, owing to the caved
debris among which it shoulders. The
Crown Point and Ksntuck people are
working together 6ghtiug the FIRE, and
the waste rock and other cayed matter
removed in order to get at it is taken
out through the Kentuek shaft. Moth
ing 10 or can be done ut present in the
Yellow Jacket mine, owing to the strong
gaseous smoke. This comes through
the 600-foot level, AS the 700 is blocked
up tightly in order to stop the draft.
Below that point the air is good. Ia
the Grown Point and Kentuck, also, the
air 10 good enough below the 700-foot
level. The FIRE appears to be worse be-
tween that level and the GOO than any
where else. No one can work in the
60o-foot level Of the Crown Point owing
to the smoke and gas.
