For many years now a blood thirsty
looking individual has haunted the
parks and clubs, and especially Rot

and frightening the children of the
aristo3rscy by his murderous looks
Perhaps part of their fright might
have come from hearing him called,
as he universally was, the Assassin"
Yet he was a very harmless, amiable
creature, who loved principally fine
horses in this world and whose villain
Gus countenance had DaUght to do
with his character or deeds. The
Assassin was no less a person than
Wyndham Smith, a son of, the witty
Sydney Smith, though a remarkable
contrast to his joval. punning papa
Wyndham detested books aud litera-
ture, and from an early period frater-
nized with jockeys, had a mania for
races, and was one of the best judges

he was for years invariably called and

The
Farm Life.

Of all professions or trades which
mankind engage in for a livelihood,
that of farming (all things consider
ed) is the one that is the most to be
desired. There is no employment 50
healthy and %invigorating to the body,
or so calculated to ennoble the mind
with religious thought and lofty aspi-
ratiOns for a higher, a purer, and q
better life.
Who has V c walked out over the
fields of a farm, on an early May OF
June morning, and has looked upon
the wheat, the corn, and the clover,
weighed down with the fragrant dew,
but has had gentler and better
thoughts stirred up within lin ?
Who has ever listened, in the coun-
try, to the lowing of cattle, the bleat-
ing Of sheep, the singing of birds, the
mellowing sounds from the wood
mans ak, or the murmurings of a
waterfall, but has felt sOftened under
the influence of such communings
/ with nature? Who has ever visited
an orchard, a garden, or a vineyard,
and partaken of the luscious fruits
made delicious for the palate of man
by natures own peculiar handiwork
without being penetrated with feel
ings of gratitude to the Author of all
good for his wonderful benefits to
the children of men ~
And again: what farmers boy, as
he has slowly wendell his way home
ward from the mill, or from the neigh
boring town, on seine beauteOus star
light evening, has ever geZed upward
n~nn thu nlnrianu hnnuGnC nhnV-n
without being thrilled withia devo-
tional sentiment akin to that felt by
David himself when he said: "NNhen
/ consider the heavens, the work of
Thy fngers-the moon and the stars
which Thou hast ordained-what is
man, that Thou art mindful of him ?
and the son of man, that Thou visit
est him ?"
Without question the country is the
natural home for man. 1t is there
that our reflective faculties enjoy the
fullest scope and play. In the city
the turmoil and the hurry drown out
all opportunities for calm and quiet
reflection. But in the country man
has time to think, TO reflect, and to
grow up a more perfect moral and in
tellectual being. OF all other spots
on earth, the country should, and
does, produce the best types OF the
human ace.
Albert Barnes used to advise young
preachers to always be careful and
preach their best sermons to country
congregations. He said that the men
and women of city congregations read
little and thought less. They live on
the run and they think and read on
the run. People in the country take
time to lead, and take time to think.
Consequently their minds are In a fit
receptive state to listen to aud drink
in the grandest truths and the most
comprehensive thoughts Cincinnati
