The Lesson Of Gratitude

A gentleman was once making
inquiries in Russia about the
method of catching bears in that
country. He was told that, to
entrap them, a pit was dug sew
eral feet deep, and after cover
ing it over with turf, leaves etc.,
some food was placed on the top.
The bear, if tempted by the bait,
easily fell into the snare. "But,' -
he added, 1if four or five happen
to get in together, they all get
out again. aHow is thatT' ask
cd the gentleman. "They form
. sort of ladder by stepping on
each others shoulders, and thus
make their escape" "But how
does the bottom one get out %
"Ahg these bears, though not
possessing a mind and soul such
As God has given us, yet can feel
gratitude; and they won't forget
the one who has been the chief
means of procuring their liberty.
Scampering off, they fetch the
branch Of a tree, which they let
down to their poor brother, en-
abling him speedily to join them
in the freedom in which they
rejoice" Sencible bears, we
should say, are a great deal bet
ter than some people that we
hear about, who never help any
body but themselves.-Me Car
rser Doye.

Northwestern Farmersand the
Wheat Crop.

Dispatches in the Western
newspapers state that along the
line of the Sioux City and St.
Paul Railway the wheat has all
been shipped, and that the farm
ers will have to buy enough to do
for seed and bread until the next
harvest. Wheat buyers along
the Illinois Central for 200 miles
east of La Mars claim that they
can ship no more wheat this sea
son, as they have not enough for
home consumption. The wheat
crop in the western parts of Iowa
and Minnesota is only about one
third as large as last years. In
the eastern parts Of these States
there is good deal in store, but
net so much as last year, while
the proportion in the farmers
hands is smaller than ever before.
The good prices have induced
farmers to sell freely, and the
good roads all through the Win
ter have enabled them to trans
port it to stations, so that the
crop is now "in sight" to a larger
extent than ever before. No
Spring work has yet been done,
but with favorable weatherit can
be commenced in two weeks.
Last year at this time a great
deal of wheat was already in the
ground. Holders in the interior
are holding on to what they have
left for better prices. They have
sold literally, and can afford to
do it. There will be no ship
ments from the West or large
amounts, 1T is said, until about
the LIST of May.

coveted. They dreaded no day

coveted. They dreaded no day
so much as Saturday, and vel
coined none with so much Joy as
Monday. 1t was a pleasure to
teach them. Their progress was
all their teachers could expect.
The reason for this may be found
in their surroundings. There is
much in farm life to develop lat
ent power. The sunshine gives
vigor to mind and body. The
extended field laden with gold
en- grains, widens contracted
ideas majestic forests. winding
brooks, verdant plains, fragrant
flowers, and teeming herds are
each and all means of education.
Take young men and women,
fresh from these associations, and
engfaft upon them the ennobling (
influences that flow from the di-
vine mind. as manifest in science
and they come to the front as
statesmen, lawyer, doctors, min
listers, editors, and business men.
The farming precincts are the
great reservoirs from which the
supplies are to come. The mas
ses of children raised in the cit
| les are weak, enervatsd their
surroundings are too stimulat
ing; early decay is inevitable.
l took the pen intending to say
something to discourage young
men and women from leaving ru
raj pursuits and seeking situa-
tions in the cities, but the more
/ think on the subject the more
thinkit is all right that they
should come into the whirlpool
and rescue from the vortex inter
ests that must otherwise perish.
Some dozen years ago, one of the
most observing men this city ev-
er contained remarked: Twenty
five years from now it will be
found the leading men have come
from the plow, the anvil, and the
most obscure places. Since then
| was present at a meeting con-
tanning a party of ministers, and
the subject for discussion was
''What shall be done for country
churches, in view of the depen-
dence of cities upon the country
to supply the pulpit q The ques-
ton was asked of the min
listers present, how many were
raised upon the farmg Thirty
nine Of the forty responded by
arising. If this be taken as the
general ratio, what shall be said
for a paper designed to reach
this class ? 1t should be first in
the esteem of every citizen,
WELD wider influence than any
political or religious paper, and
be a power felt from center to
circumference of our common
wealth.-mdiana Farmer.

When you meet with neglect
let it rouse you to exertion, in
stead of Notifying your pride.
Set about lessoning those de-
fscts which expose you to neg
lect; and improve those excel
lsncies which command atten-
ton and respect,
Don't be too severe upon your
own failings; keep on, don't
faint, be energetic to the
last.
Take cheerful views, hope tor
the best and trust in God.
Let every man be occupied,
in the highest employment of
which his nature IS capable, and
die with the consciousness that
he has done his best.
Some very excellent people
tell you they dare not hope; why
do they not dare hopeg To me
it seems much more impious to
dare to despair.
The real way to improve is
not SO much by varied reading,
as by finding out your weak
points on any subject and mas
tering thcm.
True, it is most painful not to
meet the kindness and affection
you feel you have a right to ex-
pect from others But it is a
mistake to complain of it; for it
is of no use; you cannet extort
friendship with a cooked pistol.
Never give way to melancholy;
resist it steadily, for the habit
will encrsach. l once gave a
lady two and twenty recipes a.
gainst melancholy; one was a
bright fire; another to remember
all the pleasant things said to
and of her; another tc keep a box
of sugar plums On her chimney
piece, and kettle simmering on
the hob. / thought this mere
trifing at the moment, but have
in after life discovered how true
it is that these little pleasures
often Danish melancholy better
than higher and more exalted OBJ
jects, and that no means ought
to be thought too trifing which
can oppose it either in ourselves
or others.-Sidney Smith.

him, amother's pet"
Edward Black is the son of a
Door widow who calls him "moth

best to make his mother happy
in spite of her poverty. One
day he went to market for her,
and as he staggered homeward
under a very heavy load of pota-

"My son, that basket is too
heavy for you to carry"
Edward looked in the gentle

smile, and replied

Raising Turkeys.

1t does not cost any more, or
much more, to raise Epound Of
turkey than a pound of hen flesh.
In the summer they require to
be fed less, being mastery cam
paigners on their own account,
while in winter very likely their
nervous disposition demands
somewhat more stimulus than
other fowls. If well fed, they do
not require nearly as careful
housing as the hen, although it is
good policy to make them roost
indoors; but left to themselves,
they prefer to weather out the
widest storm in the tree-tops.
Finally, when brought to market
their flesh is worth much more
than that of the hen, so that 9TH
ers things being equal, it is econo-
my to keep them instead. Also
and this is well worth consider
ing,-allowing that the percent
age of loss of young turkey chicks
under most perfect management
is greater than the loss of chicks
Of the common fowls; still, the
turkeys that survive reach such
a great weight that a given num-
Der of pounds of turkey may,
perhaps, be raised with less labor
than the same quantity of flesh
OF the common fowls.
The breeding of turkeys is
much better than formerly. The
importance of the selection of the
stoutest and largest gobblers for
breeding, it is better recognized,
and the facts that too scanty
range insufficient food, and close
in-and-in breeding, dwarf the
stock, and render it feeble, and
cause the chicks to die off are
better known. Also, wild tur-
keys are crossed with tame more
frequently since the value of
such infusion of blood has been
seen. 1t is IN this country, if any
where, that we should naturally
expect the domestic stock to
reach its highest perfection, and
our poultry breeders may justly
feel a peculiar pride in this strict
ly American production.-Poul-
try World.

Circulation of the Blood.

The circulation Of the blood is the life of the
body, and its stoppage is death. We are heal
thy when the blood circulates freely; any in
terruption preventing its free course is the
commencement of disease. "Blood is the life
of the flesh" Can we expect to enjoy good
health. when bad or corrupt numors circulate
with the blood, causing pain and disease; and
these humors being deposited throughout the
entire body, produce pimples, eruptions, ul-
GERS, indigestion, costiveness, headache, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, and numerous other COM
plants. No disease can be in the body with
out first being generated in the blood; and no
disease can possibly be in the body, if the blood
is pure. It is Of great importance to know
what medicine will purify and renovate the
blood, eradicate the disease, renew vitality,
mentally and physically, and instill fresh Wig
or into all the vital functions of the body.
This medicine is the VEGETINE, the great
blood-purifier.
1t extends its influence into every
part of the human organism commencing with
Its foundation, correcting diseased action and
restoring vital powers, creating healthy for
nation and publication of the blood, driving
out disease, and leaving Nature to perform It's
allotted task.
Vegetine is composed of Roots, Barks and
Herbs. 1t Is very pleasant to take; every child
likes it. Sold by all druggists.
