The Or. Barn.

No hay upon its widespread mows,
No horses in the stalls,
No broad horned oxen, sheep or cows,
Within its time-worn walls,
The wind bowls through its battered
doors.
Now swinging to and fro;
And Ger its once frequented floors,
No footsteps come and go.
But once, alas each vacant bay.
And every space around,
Was teeming with sweet-scented hay,
The harvest of the ground.
And well-fed cattle in row,
At managers ranged along
Each fastened by an oaken bow,
Stood at the stanchions strong.
But where so long old Dobbin stood,
His masters pride aud care,
And from his hand received his food,
All now is vacant there.
Then those broad fields, both hill and
plain.
Waved in the Summer air,
With choicest crops of grass or grain,
Now left so bleak and bare.
How sweet the music of the fail,
Resembling far and clear,
AS borne upon the passing gale,
1t reached the distant ear.
The black bird hailed the dewy morn,
Form out his bushy perch;
The sparrow sung upon the thorn,
The catbird on the birch.
The robin from the highest tree
Sent forth his whistle clear,
His soul partaking of the glee
That wakes the vernal year.
And childhood's merry shout was heard
The farm-yard choir among,
Which, mingled with the note of bird,
Enriched the tide of song.
The master on his daily round,
With conscious pride would go,
His faithful dog close by him found,
Attending to and fro
Old honest "Trip" long since has gone
And moulders meath the wall;
No more he takes the welcome bone,
Nor hears his masters call
The kindly master, too, has died,
The matron in her grace,
And dead, or scattered far and wide,
The remnant of their race.

The Ecert0sfiAg HiIts.
BY HENRY GILMAN.

The mountains in the blessed land
Lie piled like silvery wool;
OF purest light their massive sides,
And towering crests are full.
Higher than aught in heavenly ground,
They drink the clearest air;
And meath the tread of shining feet,
They ever grow more fair.
No vapor wells their awful front
From the astonished eye;
Boldly defined, and fully shown,
Is their immensely.
No gaping rift or hollow chasm
Mars their unearthly might =
From everlasting they have stood
In Gods eternal sight.
Though here we walk narrow way,
To us it may be given,
To tread with Christ, in robes of light,
The spacious hills of heaven.

LYING IN BED 1t is often the ques-
ton among people who are unacquainted
with anatomy and physiology of men,
whether lying with head exalted or on a
level with the body is the most unwhole-
some. Most consulting their own taste
on this point, argue in favor of that
which they prefer. Now, although
many delight in bolstering up their
heads at night. and sleep soundly with
out injury. yet we declare it to be a
dangerous habit. The vessels in which
the blood passes FROM the heart to the
head are always lessened in their cavities
when the head is resting in bed higher
than the body; therefore, in all diseases
attended with fever, the head should be
pretty nearly on level with the body !;
and people ought to accustom themselves
to sleep thus, and avoid danger

A correspondent sends the st. Adams
Messenger comparison of wages and ex-
penses of all kinds in 1929 with present
prices, from which it appears that wheat
has nearly quintupled in price; potatoes,
sheep, COWS, eggs and butter have sus-
pended even a greater advance Hay is
now four times as costly, while the price
of tea and coffee, pepper and salt have
declined one half, and cotton goods have
sustained larger reduction. Wages, on
the average, have advanced three fold,
so that farmers who do their own work,
and mechanics whose time is their CAPT
tai, have nothing to complain of in the
general change of values

Great discomfort exists in the church
of Scotland at the appointment by the
crown of the Rev. DIR. Wallace. of old
GreYfriars, to the chair of church histo-
ry in the University Of Edinburgh. DR..
Wallace is objected to ON account of his
extreme broad church views, which seem,
according to the citations that are made
of expressions he has used. to go to the
