cured for love or money, and IL is partly
this theory Of Gail Hamilton's that il Is de-
grading for a woman to work, or at least to
do ho,secork, that makes good help 80 scarce
and so many Of our farmers wives over bur-
dened
When such is the case, il is plainly the
husbands duty to save his wife's burdens as.
much as 10 him lies even if he had to hire
additional help out of doors,-but then here
is an objection for the additional help might
add more to her labors than her husbands
help wonld detract from them.
On the whole, each man or woman, if he
or she be sensible, can better judge Of their
duties than others can judge for them.
One of our correspondents seems to think
if the cares of farmers household are so
onerous, it's best to keep still about it, lest
our daughters refuse to marry farmers. My
dear sister, there is no danger Of such a cat
astrophy.
| Farmers daughters usually declare they
will "neuer marry a farmer" and marry the
first one that offers them his hand and heart,
even if the hand is hard and brown. The
fact is our girls marry the men and not their
calling. Arabella may wish, and often does,
that jim. Brown was lawyer, doctor, or
even mechanic, but he is only farmer,
but if Arabella LoUeS him, she would marry
him if he owned ten farms, and she is quite
likely to make model farmers .wife, even
if she has no particular love for the calling.
l have not exhausted the subject, but am
afraid have the editors patience though
editors are reputed to be long suffering NOR
tails. LAURA b. BoYCE.

A FRIGHTENED COW YIELDS
BAD MILK.

There can be no doubt but that milk is
often seriously injured and rendered un-
healthy from the careless manner in which
the COWS are managed. Some dairymen
allow thoir hands to be extremely brutal at
times TO animals intrusted to their charge.
Not uulrequently it a COW is restive during
milking, or makes misstep, oyerturning tho
pail and wasting its contents, tho mixer is
allowed to pound her with heavy stool, or
bestow suudry kicks, aud otherwise maltreat
the animal. Again, many dairymen have
the habit of bringing up the COWS from tho
pasture with dogs, racing them over the
field at tho time when their udders are dis
tended with milk, not only causing fright,
but bodily pain and they do this without
thinking that the milk by these practices Is
injured and often rendered unhealthiul and
unfit for human consumption. We are con-
stantly receiving accounts of the difficulty
Of working milk into good article OF butter
or cheese, and not unirequently the whole
trouble may be traced to the cause we have
named Many farmers have yet lesson to
learn in regard to tho production OF milk,
and the time we hope is not far distant when
every one who keeps a COW for milk will
understand these matters fully and appreci-
ate the responsibility which rests upon them.
They should feel that the disposal Of milk
from diseased COWS, or those cruelty treated
is as much a moral wrong as to sell any
other article Of unhealthy food. 1t is only
Of late years that the public sentiment has
been awakened in respect to the kind treat
ment Of animals. Men now begin to learn
that the brute creation have certain rights
which must be respected, and that those who
practice abuses and eruelties are amenable
to the laws We are also becoming better
acquainted with the proper production OF
healthy food, and especially 50 IN regard to
milk, and when this knowledge shall be gen.
orally disseminated and acted upon, the
healthiulness of our people will be promoted

THRoUGH THE WHEAT.
BY FLORENCE pKRcI

Once, when my heart and l were young,
We wandered, restless, by sea and strand
And fingered little space among
The grassy valleys Of Switzorlandi
Whore vatehfur summts forever frown,
Through blue air slantng, clear and keen,
Wearing proudly their icy crown,
While happy hamlsts smile between;
Where rapid torrents rejoicing run,
Leaping the cliffs in strength and prldc
Like snow-white ribbons, in wind and sun,
Fluttering down the mountain sidei
Where smoke-like cloudings of tender blue
Dapple the slopes in sunny spots,
And sweetly change on n nearer view
To drifts Of fairest forgetms-nots.
Often at eve, when the sun was low,
And the mountain shadows grew dark and vast,
! watched the cottagers, vending slow
Home to rest when their toll was past.
Two walked lovingly side by side,
Speaking softly, as lovers speak
lie with an air of manly pride,
She with a blush on her sun;browned check.
Hand in hand, through the evening red
Thoy went-through the shadows damp and sweet
Choosing narrow path that led
On and on through the growing whoat.
Sunset touched him with rosy light,
Sunset frightened her loosened hair
Poor and plain, thoy were fair to sight,
For youth and love forever fair.
And often sunset charms the air
For tho time and scene arc vanished now
think Of that simple loving pair,
And wonder whether they kept their vow
Whether under some mossy roof,
Their welded spirits sorenely blent,
They weave the warp and woOf
Oftheir quiet lives in calm contenti
Or whether they parted in scorn and wrath,
As myriad lovers have done before,
And choosing each a separate path,
We're thence divided for eyermOre,
Or whether still. as across the land
The dowy shadows grow damp and sweet,
Perennial lovers, with hand in hand,
They walk knee-deep, in the growing wheat.

4 Wan with MapacIcd Hands saves
the Life of n Child.


We wish to notice the heroic conduct of
George Bellhymer, who, while the steamer
Dakotah was passing through Goose
Rapids, or her last trip, performed one of
the most heroic and daring feats it has
ever been our fortune to witness Mr..
Bellhymcr was at the time under guard
and securely handcufed for the alleged
offence of larceny. Among the passengers
on board were Mrs. White and six children,
from Port Prairie, Ontario, on her way to
Join her husband in Manitoba. Sabbath
afternoon, while her children, with others,
were playing about the deck, little Emma
fell to the river below, and at once sank.
coming to the surface near the stern of the
boat At once all was confusion; the
women shrieked and the men shouted; all
but Mr.. Bellhymer, who jumped to his feet
without moments hesitation. with heavy
boots and clothing upon his person, and
his hands closely held together, sprung
from the hurricane deck and swan to the
rescue of the struggling child. He caught
the child and raised it to the surface. but
the rapid current swept him under and
carried the child from his shackled hands :,
again he came TO the surface and again he
caught the child and again began to strug-
gle to keep above the water, while scores
of men and good swimmers, stood by and
waited for the small boat to reach the
struggling man and little child. They
were saved and returned to the boat, where
the passengers did all they could to show
Mr.. Bellhymer their appreciation of his
conduct. A testimonial was presented him
before reaching Pembna by those who
witnessed his daring leap and struggle in
the water.
