WHEN YOU WERE SEVENTEEN.

When tho hay was mowu, Maggie,
In the years long ago,
Aud while the western sky was rich
With sunsets rosy glow.
Then handin hand close linked we passed
The levy rich between,
Aud was one-and-twenty, Mag.
And YOU were seventeen.
Your voice was low and sweet, Maggie,
Your wavy hair was brown.
Your cheek was like the wild red rose
That showcrcd in petals down;
Your eyes were like the blue sTcedwcll,
With dcwy moisture sheen,
When was onc-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The spring was in our hearts, Maggie,
And all its hopes were ours;
And we were children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers.
Aye. lite was like sumner day
Amid the woodlands green,
For | was onc-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The years have come and gone, Maggie
With sunshine aud with shaGe,
And silveied Is the silkem hair
That Ger YOUR shoulders strayed
,E many soft and hayward trcss-
Tie iairest ever soen-
When I was One-andstwcnty, Mag.
And You were seventeen,
Though gently changing Time, Naggic
Has touched you in his flight

A Kentucky Bridal Tour.

There came one day to little inland

quite impatient for fear the tain should

Buying one ticket, they stood on the

farmer, In the first place YOU detest the
business; you don't take any pride or in>
,erest in it you don't care whether your
land improves under cultivation or not
you want to get AL Of il you can without
taking the trouble to pay anything back;
you skin It year after Jear, and cry out
against the seasons; you denouucc every
man you deal with as a sharper or
swindler, because you do not get the
prices for your products other people do,
and yet you do net Seem 10 know that the
reason is that ycur products are poor in
quality, and Put on the market in mis-
cradle shape; your stock has been run,
ming down ever since your father died;
You havl't built new fence and scarcely
repaired an old one your manure has
not been hauled out and judiciously used
on the farm; your pigs have bothered
your neighbors more than they have bene.
hted you; your cattle have become
breachy. aud have had 10 shut them up
IN my stables in order to keep them out
Of my grain you have distributed from
your fence corners more weed seed than
any farmer know of,and thus given your
tidy neighhoIs trouble than your favor to
compensate. Iu short, it is time for you
to move. You ought to have virgin
farm! 1t will take you but Few years
to strip it of its fertility; then yoail
have TO move again, and keep moving
You belong to very large elias, Of far
mers, who are curse to any country
The fact is, you are not, never was, and
never will be a farmer in the right sense
Of that word. You are only guerilla.
You live by robbery-robbery Of the
soil. And it is not right, ncighbor S,mp-
son. You had better seek some other vo>
cation, now that you've got the cash TO
start with. You like horses; you can
talk horses from daylight till dark; you
can't be fooled with horses; you had bets
ter 60 iato some smart town and start
livery stable. You'll make money at IL
you'll never make money farming, you'll
grow poorer and poorer the longer you
attempt it."
! Just then Sally Simpson clapped her
hands and said: That's so, father =
Havn't told you SO? Mother and l
have often talked it over, Mr.. Crumple,
and you are just as right as can be; and
father knows it too, if he would only say
so. ! know you too well land you've
done us too many kindnesses for us to
ever forget theul, to Lclieve that you
have talked to father in the way you have
out of any unkind feeling. 1t is true,
every word it, father, and you ought
to thank neighbor Crumplc for talking
just as he thinks; do, and I don't think
the less Of him either"

WEAVING Colts.

Since replying to the question Of q
correspondent in regard to the feeling Of
a colt about TO be weaned three months
old, in which We stated that in our opin>
ion that was too young, We have met sew
eral large and successful breeders Of
horses aud inquired Of them as to their
practice in this respect. The youngest
age set Cor weaving was four months.
One Of them was clearly of opinion that
on the whole fall colts we're the best be-
cause they could run with the mare all
winter without the risk Of getting stunted
in THUR growth as they would have the
advantage Of fresh and green grass in
about the time Of weaning in the spring
SO that they would keep growing right
along; while if they are foaled in the
spring, it is quite difficult to get them
through the FIRST winter without getting
some check to their growth getting them
pot belied or otherwise out of shape.
II weaned in fall, say at four OF five
months. they feed some oats, from one h
two quarts day, and bran mash FIRE
quently or some similar succulent foot
made up Of shorts aud cut hay, AL
concur in saying that it is very importan
to guard against any check in the 6rs
years growth. They want to give plent
. of exercise aud plenty Of nutritise. mu.
cle.forming food, like oats, shorts, brar
etc. and oil concur in the opinion tha
three months Is too young 10 wean at thi
Sc: s,s Of the year.--Mass Plo,oman.

Unwilling Brides.

If there is person on Garth cutitle to
sincere commisseration, it is an unwilling
bride-a girl who has given her hand
without her heart in marriage and more
especially is she to be pittied il her heart
unhaprily has been proPossessed by an
other. Can any prospect be more dreary
than that which lies before zurh bride?
What has she to look forward to, what to
expect, what to one hope? Linked, not
for day, but for life. to one with whom
she has no sympathy-who is ro more
than a stranger, save that in law and i'll
fact, but not in soul; he Is her husband
Is it not dreadful to contemplate! How
much so to experience 1t is natural and ii
is proper that their parents should desire
that their daughters should marry well ,aud
it is reasonable that they should marry
we'll, and it is reasonable that they should
prefer for them husbands 10 comfortable
circumstances. But when it comes to tb,
exercise of compulsion in the selection
of husband-to commanding a daughte
to relinquish an engagement or an attach
II ent on which her whole soul is fixed
and to marry man towards whom sh
feels Indifference or dislike-that is
very different matter.-RufM Ne,

Prayer Meetings.

There Is one CnriSuAn orSrhiZation
without which the Church will fall /; with
out whrb Christians will grow cold ;
without which Satan will conquer with
ont which God vii not bless, and that
organization is the Pruyer Meeting.
Since the disciples with their great ex>
amplar met in the "Upp Room" every
truly religious denomination. having for
its members christians, have congregated
together aud prayed, poured forth their
requests and praises to the ruler OF
Heaven and Earth. These followers of
the lowly Nazariue having experience,
these who met, in the FIRST ages of Chris
tianity. Satan and his enticing agents
finding that in themselves they had no
power to conquer found consolation
through that great medium Prayer,
When asking His divine blessing they
felt that naugh. could harm them.
We belong to race that is tempted
aud assailed as often, if not oftener, than
the first followers Of Christ We are at
tacted in SO many different ways; Satan
is crouched in many places where we
little expect 10 meet an adversary. This
being true sh Ill we who profess to be-
Jealous Christians have no Prayer
Meetings, or having them shall we att
tend2 | will leave the question unan-
swered letting the conscience of every
reader decide.
We have in our town out OF the SIX
denominations, four Prayer Meetings and
these are never attended as they should
be. The business men cannot spare an
hour, the lawyer cannot leave his Black
stone, the mechanics are too tired, the
loafers on the street carners are afraid
some one will crack joke while they are
gone. Even the young men will not con

Meeting. 1t is not those alone who are
not members of Church but those

 Hilton has been lecturing all around us, and draws like hippodrome.

Tn Daven- port the Congregational minister advised his flock to give the lecturer a wide berth, and the long haired Demosthenese went for the divine in q way he did not like: so the parson got back at him through the newspapers, making honoTs easy.
