The fast trains are to be withdrawn,
and one of the shortest railroad wars on
record is over. One week more of fast
trains rushing across the country at reck-
less speed, wearing out cars, engines and
tracks in foolish rivalry which brought
no return to the companies, and only
made railroad travelling more dangerous
for passengers, and the old time Ia bles
will be resumed. With the old time
tables will be resumed the old rates of
fare. Verify these great railroad wars
sometimes resemble the spats of school
children. Here within q few days the
rates Of several great roads have been
suddenly dropped and then as suddenly
raised again to their old level the time
Of trains between cardinal points has
been suddenly shortened and then as
suddenly restored to its old length. 1t
is cheap wisdom to say that this caprice
and this uncertainty damage the rail-
roads and demoralize the calculations uf
the business public. No remedy has yet
been found against the recurrence of
these wasteful contests, of which this was
one of the least excusable but happily
the least destructive. The day may
come, however, when railroad managers
will not be able to indulge in any such
prepOsterous fooling at the community's
expense.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Old Miracle.

Are the days of miracle working over9
Is not each renewing of life miraculous9
On sunny slopes the sod is green where
yesterday no life was seen; the tree tops,
with their fragrant breath, but whisper
OF life in DEATH and summer waiting
down the days where June walks up
the fowery ways, shall prove to us, in
bud and bloom, that out of trance and
out Of tomb the dead rise still, and still
shall rise, to greet the want of waiting
eyes aud glad US with sweet surprise.
Every May is fulfillment and promise.
The old miracle of growth is wrought
over and over again. Men believe in it
whether they confess belief or no. In
their faith they plant and wait, that by
and-by they may garner. In expectancy
that sees no failure, they look for April
and October, the Alpha and Omega of
agricultural trust, in this latitude. There
is no disappointment. The round that
has been shall be. The winter wanes as
surely yet as ever. God does not forget.
The miracles that once He wrought live
on in His eternal thought, and some ex-
preston find to-day where blossoms
spring and branches sway, and shadows
on the meadows play. The worlds green
wonder is aglow with promise and with
hope. And so, to walk the velvet sunny
slopes is but to find the faded hopes OF
dead years bud and bloom again-sweet

BRAIN WoRK.-Dr. Farquharson says
$50 long as brain worker is able to
sleep well, to eat we'll, and to take fair
proportion of outdoor exercise, it may
safely be said that it is not, necessary to
impose any special limits on the actual
number of hours which he deyotes to his
labors. But when what is generally
known as worry stepsin to complicate mat
ters, when cares connected with family
arrangements, or with those numerous
personal details which we can seldom es-
cape, intervene; or when the daily occu-
patton of life is in itself a fertile source
of anxiety, then we find one or other Of
those three safeguards broken down"

The farmer who thought to demoral-
ize field of potato bugs by planting
rows Of onions between the rows of pota-
toes is not feeling so smart as he was.
The Worcester Press says that when he
saw the bugs crawl off the onion tops
and chew cardamon seeds for their breath
before attacking the next row of potato
vines, he went into the wood-shed and
gave way to his feelings.

THE country should now be the OBJ
jective point of every unemployed man
and woman, too, for that matter.
There are too many people in the cities
in all parts of the country, while there
are not enough in the country. For ten
years the towns grew at the expense OF
the country; manufacturing and mer-
chandizing attracted men from the corn
and wheat fields, the "crisis" was the
result, and now the balance is being adc
justed by the continued depression OF
mercantile affairs, while agriculture Is
in the bloom of prosperity. If man IN
the city continues unable to obtain en-
ploymert he should regard it as an un-
mistakable sign that his place there has
been closed out by the readjustment Oh
the relations of commerce to agriculture,
and that, in consequence, it is wisest for
him to accept the new order OF things,
and array himself with the class which
has no surplus-the agriculturists.
