How SHALL WE TRAIN OUR GIRLS

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And the day and night are the same as one,
The year grows green and the year grows brown
And what is it all. when all ia done?
Grains of sombre or shining sand.
Sliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
Aud hundred ships are the same as one;
And backward and forward blows the breeze.
And what is it all, when all Is done?
A tide with never a shore in sight
Setting steadily on to the night.
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream,
And hund ed streams are the same as one,
And the maiden dreameth her love-lit dream.
And what is 1t all. when all is doue2
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.

THURSDAY EVENING.

The meeting was opened by % paper by
Mr.. Wetheril of the American C~ittuGtor,
ON, The Uncertainties of Farming, and
nreAgricullural Colleges and Experimental
Stations Remedy for ThemP
lie commenced by an enumeration OF
some of the uncertain conditions of farm
ing which were dependent on wind and
weather, and such uncertainties could not
be removed, and must be met by every
farmer on his own farm rs best he could.
Farmers should be exact in the record of
conditions of experiments, varying Tnly
one condition ut time. There are now
eighty experimental stations in Europe.
The sources of support of these stations
are various: governments support them In
some instances, agricultural societies and
individual donations contribute largely to
their support. as well rs fees for the anal
wing of fertilizers and examining seeds.
etc Over one hundred chemists are thus
employed in the different stations in Eu-
rope. He thought the State Society OF
Vermont should devote some of their
