contrary, enjoys the forms of the Church When

sister is a Lutheran. Lord Lorpe is Presby

them that and all will 5000 forget them.

Going Out With the Tide.

Raise me up in my bed, wife;
There's the sound Of the sea in my ear
And It sings to my soul in music
That earth is not blessed to hear.
Open the little window, wife,
Then come and sit by my side;
Wen wait Gods sweet focd-water
Tetake me out with the tide.
| see the harbor-bar, wife,
And my dear little boat in the bay;
But who shall be able to guide her
When her master hath passed away
know that her helm, 50 trusty,
Will answer no other hand
As it answered mine when knew. wife,
You were waiting fer me on the strand.
Our bors are all before us, wife;
Wet aoiz is beneath the wave.
And blue-eyed Freddie sleeps, wife;
In yonder yew-bowered grave,
Where the early daisies cluster
Around his baby bed,
And the thrush sits chanting softer
In yon tree that shades the dead
There's a chill runs through our hearts wife,
When the harbor-b bar doth mean.
But darker grief will be yours, wife,
When you're left in the cot alone:
But few more flows of the sea. wife
And few more etbs Of the tide,
Then Gods sweet foods shall bring you
Again to your old mans side!
The red sun is low in the west, wife,
And the tide sinks down with the sun;
We Will part with each other in love, wife,
For sveetly our lives have run.
Give me your hand, my own love,
As you gave it in days of yore:
We viii clasp them, ne'er to be sundered,
When we meet ON the fart Of shore!

FRUIT CULTURE IN TIE UNITED STATES

Fruit CULTURE IN THE UNITED STATES
F. R. Elliott, writer on agriculture, has
been collecting certain data in regard to
fruit culture, aid ei7es the total market
value of the crop of the entire country at
SAT 900, 900. New York leads all the
states in amount with s. 900, 600. Cahfor-
MAS figures are largest in proportion to
population, being s6,000,000, this sum
probably includes the yield from vineyards
The total sum for the New England states
is put at $6,000,OO0, the individual state
not being itemlsed. In commenting on
these figures the San Francisco Bulletin,
which already CLAIMS that California is the
leading wheat growing state, thinks tie. it
will specially stand in the front as the
greatest producer of fruit, end holds that,
so far from being ove-dohe there,
the fruit business is but in its in
tancy.s 81.
