Newfoundland easily reached the land .
and looking back saw Mastiff struggling
vainly to reach the shore, and just read y
to sink. Forgetting his rage, the: noble
animal plunged in again, seized the
mastiff by the collar, aud, keeping his
head above water, towed him safely to
land.
AS they stood on the shore and shook
themselves dry, you could almost see in
the glance of their friendly eyes: "You
dc don't catch US quarreling againv'
Their bath cured them, and they were
friends ever after. Would the same
remedy cure quarrelsome boys?

Quarreling Cured.

A Newfoundland dog and mastiff
had contest on bridge about bone
of which each claimed possession. 1t
was worthless old bone; but it served
to make a quarrel about, and so they
went swapping and snarling ateach 9TH
eer, until finally, each tugging at the
bone, they slipped off the bridge into
the water and aoated away for some
distance before they could come to shore.

The Farmer.
BY MRs. J. E. AKERS.

BY MRs. J. E. AKERs. -
Who so joyous as the farmer, ~
When the merry spring is come,
And the air is full OF music,
All around his rustic home;
Music of the noisy poultry,
Bleating lambs and lowing herds,
Towser romping with the children
And the twit'ring Of the birds.
Who so happy as.thc farmer,
When the summer is aglow,
When all nature is in blossom,
And the gentle Zephers blow:
Verdant fields and shady woodlands,
Rustic bowers and clambering vines,
All the country's charming freshness
'Rounl the farmers home entv ines.
Who so CHEEKY as the farmer
Gathering in his ripened sheaves,
When autumnal Winds are sighing
Softly 'mong the falling leaves;
All the gorgeous Indian summer
Whistling abhis daily toll.
Who SO happy at his labor
As the man who tills the soile
Who so easy as the farmer,
When the sullen north wind, roar.
He has not fear that famine
Will be knocking at his door.
On the farmers barn and cellar
Have u good supply of food.
For our God sends rain and sunshine
On the evil and the good.

OUR YOUNG PATRONS.
Nobility.

True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by,
Some little good-not in the dreaming
Of great things to do by-and-by.
For, whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
