Interest.

No blister draws sharper than inter
est does. OF all industries none is com.
parable to that of interest. IL works
all day aud all night 10 fair weather
and foul. 1t has no sound in it's foot
steps, but travels last. 1t gnaws ut q
mans substance with invisible teeth.
1t binds industry with its film, as fly
is bound in spiders web. Debts roll
3 man over and over, binding him hand
aud foot, and letting him hang upon
the fatal mesh until the long. legged
interest dcyours him. There is but
one thing on farm like it, and that is
the Canada thistle, which swarms new
pants every time you break its roots,
whose blossoms are prolific. aud every
flower the father of million seeds.
Every leaf is an awl, an evcry plaut
like u platoon of bnyoncis, and a field
Of them like an armed host. The whole
plant is a torment and vegetable curse.
Aud yet farmer had better make his
bed OF Canada thistles than attempt to
be ut case upon interest.

GOING HOME.

Where are you going SO fast old mani
Where are you going 50 fas,9
There's valley to cross and a river to ford;
There's clasp Of the hand and parting word.
AND tremulous sigh for the past, old man
The beautiful, vanished past.
The road has been rug ged and rough old man.
10 your feet II was rugged and rough;
But you see dear being with gentle eyes,
Has shared in your labor and sacrifice,
Ali that has been sunshine enough, old man
For you and me--sunshine enough
How long since you have passed over the hill,
old man,
OF life, o'er the top of the hill
Were there beautiful valleys on the other side?
Were there flowers and treeswith their branches
wide,
To shut out the heat Of tho sun, old man,
The heat Of the forvid SUM-
And how did you cross the waves, old man,
Or sorrow-the fearful waves2
Did you lay your dear treasures up, one BY one
With an aching heart, and" Gods will be done, {"
Under the wayside dust, old man,
In the grave meath the wayside dust?
There are sorrow and labor for all. old man
Aiasl there is sorrow for all;
And you, peradyenture, have had your share,
For eighty long winters have whitened your
hair;
And they've whitened your heart as we'll, old
man;
Thank God, your heart as we'll
You're now at the foot OF the hill, old man
AT last at the foot of the hill
The sun has gone down in golden glow,
And the heavenly city lies Just below;
Go in through the pearly gates, old man,
The beautiful pearly gates

THE MILK QUESTION.
MAN.aEr.n. June !. III.

NJ. EIitor:
The letter of P. c. Cummings in the
JopgSu Of last week is intended to al
lay Standardization exprcsscdbyso
Of the farmers who are sending milk to
Cummings, Baker & Co, of New York
Mr. Cummings statements are cucour-
aging, and bis explanation Of same Of
the difficulties which are complained Of
are satisfactory, but rather late. Mr..
c. told the farmers at the commence
ment that FIVE sets of cans would ans
wer, hc now says eight. He also prom
iscd that the cans should be returned
promptly, and that notice Of damaged
milk would be given to the parties
sending it Immediately on its receipt so
that any mismanagement on the part Of
the farmer might be promptly correct
ed. He also gave us the estimated net
value Of milk each month and claimed
that it as rated low to meet any con
tingcncy that might arise. These state
meuts, calculations and estimates made
with so much seeming candor, and
coming from a man who ought to know
what he was talking about, was accept
ed by the farmers, and taken as a ba-
sis, from which they computed the
profits Of their dairies, and when they
find the expected profits are coming
far short OF the figures made, they arc
uneasy, aud are liable to complain Of
somebody or some hing We give
Mcssrs Cummings, Baker q co credit
for extra efforts in trying to build up a
milk trade on this line, and presume
that circumstances beyond their con.
troll have prevented their realizing for
| farmers their expectations. We like to
be told that we have 80 600 COWS, and
/ that we have succeeded IN sending a
/ greater number of cans daily within
/ three months than any other road has
/ been able to do in six months, and VIC
will submit to be told three hundred and
IsiXty-Gve times that we are not expect
ed to cure our milk properly, but still
+ the vital point is not settled If these

of cans instead Of five, carIessness in
