Premiums for Opening Farms.

The timber lands Immediately adjoining
the new and rising city of Duluth, Min
ncsota, have productive soil, are sold at
reasonable prices, and the home market
for all surplus products of the farm is eX-
celent; but so recent and rapid has been
the growth of the city and its commerce
that the agriculture of the locality is far
behind other leading interests. To hasten
the opening of farms, and promote the
general development of the country about
the head of Lake Superior, the citizens of
Duluth offer the following list of premi-
ums, amounting in all to $4,000, for the
clearing of lands and the raising of diller-
ent grains, within 10 miles of Duluth, in
the State of Minnesota:

FACES on THE WALL.
by HARRIET BEEcnER STOWE,

!
Amhoy Of " Uj,cle Toms CoJha," "W WE
and l." etc,
Once there was a very good little girl, who,
by reason of her goodness, knew where to
find Strawberries in the winter. In the same
way less perfect people, blessed by the gen
| erous fairies of memory and Imagination,
may sit, as / do now in the midst of fallen
leaves and whistling winds, and call back
the green grasses and the summer sun l
see yonder in the glen the darling Of our
house, the gold CLEAN in her brown hair, a
chain of daisies in her hand, and in her eyes
the roguish meditation Of a kitten, weary for
an instant only of its play, and thinking sly
| ly of another spring Thrown back upon the
velvet grass, she is not resting, only pauslnS;
| from her bright glances to the tips of her tiny
| fingers she is wide awake.
But now the merry play is over, and our
pet nestlcs yondcr on the ofa-cushion, tired
at last in earnest Slowly the lids fall, and
the lingering smile dies out; but the flush
in cheek and lips remains, like the glow
after sunset. The gathered buttcrcups and
daisies are loosely held by the fair little
hand; no shadows, even of drcam-land dis
turb the sweet brow's perfect peace. She is
fast asleep.
In other words, two chromos hang upon
the wall bcwitching child-hcads in which
every mother sees something of her own dear
ones, never grown old, and never lost to her,
however time or death may have dealt with
them.
Nothing pleases more at first sight or gives
! ,,1o hnp r,iat Of
children. "Thc little child" whom Jesus
sets In the midst of every family is a joy that
grows not old and fades not.
Age cannot withcr, custom cannot stale
Its infinite variety"
For this reason a happy picture of a child
brings an enjoyment more lasting than any
other, because it is a subject of which no one
ever tires.
But these pictures, besides their constant
charm for grown folks, are such as chadren
| can understand and love. Our little "Wide
Awake" and EAST Asleep" would give many
a pleasant hour of companionablc amusc-
mcnt and intercourse to the little people
akin to them in age. The pictures that chill
dren's eyes rest on as they are dropping OFF
to sleep or as they awaken in the morning,
seem to them like living friends. All sorts
of childish dreams and fancies make of the
face a real companion. Not only in the par
IOr or the sitting-room would they be an at
tractive and fitting establishment, but they
are a charming pair for the adornment of
nursery.
Undoubtedly these two pictures are por-
traits. There is realistic faithfulness and
truth about them that forhids the idea of
their being fancy heads. They will remind
many parents of little ones either here or in
heaven. Dickens says somewhere in his pOr-
traiture of little Nell that he has had letters
from the farthest regions of the earth speak
