IMPROVEMENT IN FARMERS
HOMES,

There has been a very great change
for the better iu the homes nE am
classes OF our people within fhB Inst
thirty years We think quite n large
share Of this improvement is found iu
the strictly rural DISTRICTS and iI fair-
ly the result Of the opportunities and
privileges o. agricultural life. The
average rural parish is the equal of
the city parish in intelligence, tn good
morals, and pisty. Social life has not
so much show and brillianGF, but quite
as much solid happiness. The children
coming up I'm the country have much
better chance or sound health, or
good education, and OF q useful career
in life. The division OF labor, BROUGHT
about by the introduction Of manu-
faetures, has blest the farmer almost
as much as any other class. Ha no
longer provides his own clothing o.
makes his own furniture. H8 can buy
cheaper. Tho thrifty farmer fn the
older States has an architect 10 build
his house, and there ta taste displayed
in the building and In its surround
imgs. He knows q good deal about
fruits and floWerB, and what he does
not know his wife or daughter doe1.-
The flower border 81 quite up 20 the
town standard. The upholstery may
not be quite so attractive, but the floors
are carpeted, and the windows have
blinds and curtains quite enough for
neatly spread, and tho chinawaEo and
other appointments come from she
same manufactures that furmleh citW
homes. The cookery, especially that
part Of II furnished by the mistress OF
the mansion, is above the average in
cities. Fiaho8 and molodco2s atc very
common, and the same songs are heard
there as in the town, and they are sung
about as Welh Professional singers do
not 60 10 the country for their auolonc-~
es, but the country comes TO tnem ana
ciatiVa listeners and admirers. There
is leisure in the country, time Cor read-
ing ana reflection plenty of newEpa-
pers and magazines, and the village
library has its numerous Haer1ng lu
Efmers homts. Fafm life e This age
of railroads and steamcrs 8 quite die

In our whole course rs Journalists we have ever

with them frsm first to last In the great struggle
through which they recently passed and have
never ceased TO advocate the most intimate and
friendly relationship between them and the Cana
dams; but II they Will petuantly and, like spoiled

down and worship themselves. their institutions and
