bility and appears to be the worry thing
needed on farm. Itworks on the lever
principle and the levers are so power
fully arranged that IL ten year old boy
can pack, BIZ himself, the largest sized
bale of cotton.

PROOF OF MEASSEss. -"Nothinr,
says John Foster, "more palpably be-
trays lttleress, meanness of soul, than
supcrcilious looking down on estimable
friends OF inferior ord.r after man has
attained some unexpected elevation. {"
And yet nothing is more common. A
man meets with a sudden increase of
wealth, and he fails to recognize as ac-
quaintanccs those whose favor he once
courted. ~ man forms some distin-
guished acquaintances, and the plain
people with whom be was glad to asso-
ciatc arc passed by. According to Eos
ter, there must be great deal of mean
ness Of soul in the world

soned novels and of Appleton s
Library of Choice Reading" Tho one
