The s1rcat Mother,

BY CARL SPENCER.
O,rstender mother. Nature l-she has word
for each
TODAY or else tomorrow she'll name you in
her speech;
Saw not she smiles too lightIy-there are weep-
But 60 You to the meadows when troubles
once away.
All The shining and the song
Shall nothing seem to wrong
Oh, the world is good, and may the world live
longl
We know. the Gardens story-sorrow is old as
man
+ sorrow old as the world Who knows which
first began
Through an his cchoing ages the key has
been the same.
For Adam In his time,
And for each in passions primo,
The ioy-bels and the dirges rang an inter
chime
The hearts of men are rivers that chafe in or
dered grooves,
With. now song OF signing, and now song
of loves;
o Nature mother Nature, she hath borne us
on her breast
Till her own great heart Is beating in flow with
our unrest.
Many lime the sky
Hath wept its blue eyes dry
Ere ever wept beneath it you and l.
She has winds that cry OF conflict to the soul
that strives;
She has deserts bitter hearted with the grief
OF wasted lives
She has lonely rocks and moors, and ever
signing seas;
And some day You shall hearken to your own
life in these.
Butit's Ho, all the day,
When troubles once away,
And again she'll ripe for Us, and We u be gay.
She has mountains weird and kingly. with the
clouds upon their head
She has fearfuli thunder-places where the
storms are bred;
But strength and safety grid her-sea depths
and mountain bars
And peace is where Eternity dWells among the
stars.
And it's Hush, all the night
And the monaghan lieth white,
Like the pale hand Of Peace, shutting the lids
from sight.
Allsto keep the life IN US, the life that goetb
fast;
Ever she turns and turns it, but it weareth
out at last:
Sorelyand oft she sigheth to put the old away;
So to us shall tears be given when We have
had our day.
Then for us the world viii keep
silence sweet and deep,
And again she'll sing for us, and we shall
sleep

Farmers Should Raise Heavier Horses
We Indarse the opinion of the National
Live Stock journal, that it does not nav
farmers to raise fast horses. They have
seldom means suitable for the purpose,
and stand p small chance Of succeeding.
Ii they get good animal, they have not
the skill or time to train it. It's better to
leave the raising of trotters and racers to
the professionals. But there is no need
OF falling back on scrubs. Our farmers
should raise carriage and draught
horses, for which there is always healthy
ard active demand The Journal saws.
Taxing scrub or common horsas as
they run, and their quality is so poor, the
supply so large, and the prices so low.
that there is absolutely no chance, as a
general thing, of making EXPENSES in
breeding and raising this description Of
stock. But there are other kinds Of
horses which can be bred with obvious
advantage. If they have good mares of
ialr SIZE, they can by breeding to horses of
good breeding, secure colts OF proper size,
&C don and style to meet with prCmpt sale
at remuneratlve prices as carriage horses
ETC. Or, IT they employ stations of AL
most any OF the heavy draft breeds. thew
VIII obtain those solid heavy animals
which are in such demand for exnress
wagons and heavy scanning all over the
country. Noone who has not inyestigat.
Ed the subject can form an intelligent esti-
mate OF the number Of such animals tho
country can absorb. Tho demand is
everywhere greater than the supply. and
is steadily and rapidly increasing. And
tits demand which, for a great MANY
years at least, cannot be met. For. aside
from the natural ncreatc in the demand
for them, those already in use are placed
at such severe labor, that they are soon
used up; hence the old purchasers are
soon back in the marker in search Of fresh
supplies. There is nothing Of the lottery
IN this sort Of business; every horse Of
this description which the farmer can
send to market will meet with ready sale,
and bring good round prices. Aside from
the stallion service, the cost of raising
such animals is not ia particle greater than
the cost Of raising u scrub which will nit
bring one-quarter the price when brought

that they are less liable to strain and in
Jure themselves while developing in the
pasture, and arc moro readily broken and
trained to harness
