Pat in the Stocks.

In past times (and not vesy long past)
when the "stocks," as mode Of pun
ishment. was won't to be administered
in Merry England "a punishment,
by the way, the ignominy Of which was
in great measure nullifed BY it's lu-
dicrous character-a breach of the Sab.
bath, during the hours Of divine SER
vice. was deemed cause. and cause suf-
feieat fer The summary inAiction oi
said punishment. An Irishman, one
6ne Sunday forenoon, while sauutering
among the green fields and babbling
brooks in the vicinity Of country
church, was seized upon by the look
outs" before he was aware, and instant
" hauled to the instrument Of correc-
tin. which stood by the roadside, not
far distant His neither limbs were ac-
commodated to the machine. and he
was, like Sir John Moore, cleft alone
in bis glory 1t SO happened that a
friend and countryman of poor Pat
presently "came that way" and at
tempted. like the good Samaritan Of
old, to administer comfort and consola-
tion. He inquired what it was that
Pat had been doing to get himself into
such scrape. The latter instantly
replied, 'sAn' by the powers? I've
done nothing at all at all. and they
built my legs into this wooden wall. -
"But they cannot put you in for doing
nothing at all" !" Indignantly replied his
friend "Be the powers but l AN IN, :"
rejoined poor Pat. leaving faint con-
viction upon the mind of his sympa.
thizer and countryman that Pat was
correct in his conclusion.

PRAYER Before Battle.

Whether it is true or not that the
Welsh are a quarrelsome people, we
cannot undertake to say; the following
laughable anecdote, however, would
seem in some measure to countenance
the conclusion (and Shakespeare. we
believe. almost invariably represents
his Welsh characters as touchy to de-
gree) that there is modicum of truth
in the charge. But to the story. A
Scotch peddler. without the remotest
intention on bis part Of getting into o
quarrel or fight with any man. had put
up (with bis pack) for the night, at q
country ale-house bordering on Wales.
where, as the fates would have it, be
found motley assemblage in the kitch-
en- of the inn, of not the most desirable
individuals; and, among the rest, .
Welshmau, whose aim, from the very

water with poor Sawney. The latter,
sagaciously appreciating the true char
acter of his tormentor, and deter mined
to get rid of him in the quietest way
possible, told him that he "did not
xant to fight" This only excited to
still higher pitch the bracado Of the
Welshman. and be told the Scotchman
that be would "make him fight"
WELL" says Sawney. ''if must fight.
let me say my prayers before | 6gut,'
which the Welshman conceding. the
Scotchmau fell upon his knees, implor-
ing his Maker to pardon him for f.the
t,ca men he had already killed, and for
the one that was dboot to die" The
Scotchman slowly rose from his knees.
but not before the Welshmxn had made
u precipitate retreat from the room.

Anecdote of a Cardinal.


To relate an anecdote without being
able to give the name of the subject Of
it-more especially when that name is
to be found among the most illustrious
on record-seems to SAVIOR of absurdity
in no ordinary degree. The person
age. however, to whom we refer. was a
French Cardinal. and one. we believe.
equally reverenced both as a good man
and priest. On certain occasion
Git was during spell of uncommonly
warm weather. His Eminence." quite
early in the morning, ana in the light
est costume imaginable, sought a room
adjacent to his bed room, from the open
window Of which he fondly imagined
he could entice the breeze. For such
purpose he was leaning out of the win
dow. in position the most comforta-
BILE and easy, when male domestic of
the establishment CHANGED to enter the
apartment, and, mistaking the Cardinal
for fellow-servant. gleefully ,cet both
bis hands, and stealthily approaching
His Eminence,' gave the latter SO
tremendous a slap, on part that shall
be .nameless, that this illustrious and
most amiable son of the Church at once
jumped to his feet, assiduously rubbing
the part. when he encountered before
him, on his kness, the domestic afore-
said, tremblingly exclaiming. please.
your Eminence, I thought 1t ,cas

in the soothing operation, remarked.

set on Ere and burned to the ground.
Mr.. Ford. who built the house. lost
a good part Of his pay because the own
er. who was just beginning in the real
estate business, depended largely on
the payments that were coming from
the sale of the house.
Now. tracing back the affair. it does
seem that if Whitback had paid that
little bill Of 1884, q very different
state Of affairs would have been pre-
sented. Ford could have paid some-
thing on account Of PaysoD. and got
the paint and put it on 10 time for Mrs
McQuade to have moved before the
sickness Of her boy; and that, in al
likelihood, would have been prevented.
for his fever was caused, as the doctor
said, by the malarious locality in which
she lived. and from which she was in
tending to move as soon as the new
house was completed. It is not at all
likely that If she had been living in the
house, it would have been either robbed
or burned. She would doubtless have
been able to make her payments. or at
least, being in the hsuse the owner
would have felt secure. and would have
waited her convenience. Ford would
have got his pay, for he had lien on
the house. So. it seems. from any
reasonable point Of view. that if Whit
back had paid that little bill Of $9.34

Labor /: An Ode.
BY Q. ". B.

Toll swings the axe, and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich harvests smile behind the plow,
And cities cluster round the loom.
Where towering domes ami tapering spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout Labor lights it's beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and
mill M
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning
scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag Of stars;
The engine with its lungs of fame,
And ribs Of brass and joints Of steel,
From Labor's plastic fingers came, 4
With sobbing valve and whirling wheel.
IT'S Labor works the magic press,
And turns the csank il hisaa ef toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sun-browned soil, with shining spade,
Links lake to lake with silver ties,
Strung thick with palaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies.

Seasonable Hints on Tree Planting,

When trees are growing naturally in

way through the solid ground, and Of
course. are in this way in close contact
Herewith. They then drawn in mois-
ture easily. When trees are trans
planted it is almost impossible to pack
the earth SO closely as it was before.
A large number Of little roots do not
touch the soil, and then they are unable
to be Of any service in supplying food
to the plant. 1n fact. the plant might
as well not bave these roots A plant

dition practically Of a-plant with half
its roots cut away- The good planter.
therefore. takes care to have the earth
packed as closely as possible about the
roots No matter, however. how well
this may be. done, there is always
some space left. There is generally
some water in the soil at tree planting
! time. and az the dry weather comes on
and this sater evaporates, the soil sinks
and separates from the roots. Nov.
the remedy for this is good pounding

the weather becomes dry

THIN SEEDING The experience oi
an old farmer as to thin seeding Of
wheat is given in The Agricultural
Gazette. In 1906. one peck of wheat
was "dibbled"-planted by single seeds
in holes made with round stick or
dibble"-upon one acre: the produce
was 204 pecks For the newt IA years
the seeding was from half a peck to two
pecks of seed per acre. and the average
crop was A bushels per acre, one year
yielding so bushels and another Sc
bushels. Since then and up to the pre-
sent time the seeding has been IL
quarts of wheat and one bushel of oats
or barley per acre. The result is that
the seed sowa each year since 1906 has
given Eve times more proportionate pro-
duce than any crop sown BY other far
mers with the usual seeding. ea9
