turn out, and work nill vote for Heath. Tho
bummers aro quietly, but vigorously, at work,

Docs Farm ne PnA2

There are a good many who call
themselves farmers who argue that
farming does not pay, and attempt to
produce arguments To sustain their
position. We assert, however, that
good farming will pay; that it depends
entirely upon the qualifications and
COOL management of those engaged i'm
it, and in this connection we copy an
extract from the report of one of the
meetings of the American Institute
Farmers Club of New York. A Mr.!
Tinknam from Vermont had been
disparaging the business of farming,
and stated that he could make more
money in one month by travelling for
Il good wholesale house than he could
in twelye months of farm work, which
promptly brought to his feet sturdy
Western man, us follows:
As soon as Mr.. Tlnkham had taken
his seat, man having the aspect of
John the Baptist and voice like one
crying in lhe wilderness, arose and
asked the chair if he could have just
three minutes in which to knock
the hind sights Off that Vermont fell
Ter. The chair gave him his three
minutes, and, with the war-whoOp
of his tribe, lie sprang To the center of
the circle. My name,O he cried,

say he is lazy, but probably he Is pos
sessUd of Il constitutional diathesis

what's the matter with him! [Thun-

DO Not Blame Him to. Muth.

Until we can read the heart Ofaroth
er without doubt, aud know all the
circumstances of his life, all the many
links in the chain Of accident that has
surrounded him, we should not blame
him too much or be too wrathful with
him. What he has done may be i'll
but we cannot tell why he did il or
how he may have repented the doing.
A moment of strong feeling, an hour
of wrath, may turn the feet upon the
down ward road so hard to retracp. We
see one lying at the foot of a prpcipice
but we do not know how he fell oven
What cruel hand smOte him. What
lie betrayed him-nor how he clunp
vainly 10 the brink, praying in vain
for some helping hand.
Pity the fallen wretch and heal his
wound, If you can, If not, cover him
deCGntly with the mantle of charity,
and forgive him his sins For | be.
lieve, that of all people who need pity
foremost stand those who have done
evil deeds. The good find consolation
in their own conscience for any sOr-
row; but the wicked who, doubtless,
set out in life meaning to be as good as
the best ,-who sometimes seem to
have been victims of demons, bound
on their eternal destruction must be
very wretched. Moreover, they must
often he amazed as they look back and
remember how once they hoped to be
great and honorable and true. and of
good repor:! What hoy or girl has not
had such aspirations?
When soldier goes to war, and in
stead ufreturning crowned with laurels
and triumphant, is brought lack Grip
pied and manned. how we pity him,
how tenderly we hold in our thoughts,

of life one who meant 10 he a Chris

against whom he does bitter battle be-
fure they main his soul and cripple
all his good intentions.
