oxen in Harness.

The Burlington Qowa) Haa0keye
prints the following: A sight that at
tracted many spectators appeared on our
streets the other day. 1t was team of
oxen attached to q wood wagon. They
were equipped in full harness even to the
bits. The collars and names, instead of
being placed as when on the equine
beast, they rather were placed right the
reverse-upside down. Yet they were
in proper position, for they could be ad-
iusted to nm OK in no other manner. The
driver, a hale old farmer, employed the
old original horse vernacular: " Get up, -
"whoa, "back," and made no use of
"gee" and "haw."

KNIGHTS of tho Garter.

Prince William of Prussia has re-
ceived the highest honor which it is in
the power of the queen to confer on a
foreign prince-an honor, too, which is
sometimes coveted in vain by reigning
sovereigns. Guizot mentions how glad
Louis Philippe was to receive the Garter,
which he only did upon his visit to Eng
land in 1874, when he had already been
fourteen years upon the throne. He is said
to have expressed the feeling that now at
length he could no longer be called a
mere king of the barricades, but was
formally received into the brotherhood of
monarchs upon equal terms. Napoleon
III. was equally pleased when in 1866
less than four years after the coup dctat
he was invested with the blue ribbon
by her majesty in person. On the other
hand, we find Lord Palmerston Gn Lord
Dalling's Life) writing to his brother,
Sir William Temple, and telling him that
Bernadotte has been flying a kite for
the Garter" adding that his Swedish
majesty was not to get it. At the pres
ent moment decided majority OF the
kings are entitled to wear this highly
priced decoration, but the kings of Spain
and Sweden are as yet left out in the
cold. The only foreign princes, not ac-
t,,ally reigning sovereigns, who are
Knights of the Garter, are the Crown
Prince of Germany and his son, Prince
Louis, of Hesse, and Prince Christian,
of Sleswick- -Holstein. Three out of these
are heirs to CROWNS. The Duke of Cum
berland has worn crown, and is, more
over, lineal descendant Of George H.,
and by a statute passed on the seven
teenth of January, 1905, the order is to
consist of the sovereign and twenty-five
knights companions, together with such
lineal descendants of King George II. as
may be elected, always excepting the
Prince of Wales, who is a constituent
part of the original institution. Special
statutes are passed for the admission of
foreign sovereigns or princes as extra
knights.

" Breaking the Ice. !"

BY GEORGE LANSING TAYLOR, D. D.
Twas the touch of mild weather that midwin-
ter brings,
The old-fashioncd Jan'arv thaw,
When snow banks. like frozen up lovers, relent.
BY natures mysterious law.
The parson was breaking the ice al his gate
Forty, and frosty, was he
When h!ue eyed Jcannie came tripping that
Twenty, and pretty, was she.
The parson he greeted the lamb of his fold,
AS cordial as parSon could be;
But over the way her blue eyes strayed,
And why, it was easy to see;
For Jerry was breaking the ice at the church
Twenty-Five and handsome, was he;
And JEANNE with Ida to shield her from
harm)
Had errands to Jerry, had she.
So they crossed, and she took the pick from his
hand
And merrilv struck brave blow,
Then held her dainty red mitten for pay,
And laughed till her cheeks were aglow.
And the parson whispered: "Shes breaking
the ice
To help bashful Jerry along:
If the ice in his heart don't break for that,
1t must be uncommonly strong"
So the parson kept thoughtfully picking away,
And he unused All isn't it nice,
When q laughing girl with her heart in her
eyes,
Helps her lover to .break the ice!'
And he sighed "Ah vcreI but young once
more.
Bnt Jeannie, she wouldn't be here.
Ah, we'll the pext best thing is fee
They'll send for me in year.
They'll send for me. Tis the DID, old tale
That started in Paradise;
And the sweetest remnant Of Eden that's left
Is loving-and breaking the ice"

A fair estimate of the crop of these ten
acres would be five hundred tons. Five
hundred tons of timothy hay would cost
10000, and as this five hundred tons OF
chopped fodder will answer the same
purposes as the timothy hay, it is easily
seen that every community can thus raise
it's own meat at about half the cost to

Another Year.

1t is said of Philip Henry, that when
he had reached the age of three-score
and ten, he was accustomed TO date his
letters, " The year of my death" And
of both the older and the younger presi-
dent Edwards, il is said that on the first
Sabbath of the years Of their death each
preached on the text. This year thou
shalt die" the text seeming almost a
prediction of the departure of each to
that better land to which they were di-
recting their hearers. Death may not
come to us this year. And yet it may
come at any moment. But in view of its
certainly coming soon, and in the posi-
bility that it may come at any moment
when we expect it not, does it not become
us to live in expectation and in prepara-
ton for it? "There are two words"
says another, "that may well take up
much OF our thoughts and cares, viz,
time and eternity: time because il is 40
fast passing away, and eternity because
it will soon begin; time because it will
soon be at an end, and eternity because
it will never end"
II was the new yoar's resolve OF the
excellent Hannah More, never to pass
a day without thinking of the end of
days, and never to pass an hour without
lifting up her heart to God. through
Christ, to aid her to live for him." And
an ancient sculptor, when asked why he
took such pains in part of beautiful
statue that would be concealed by the
wall of the temple, replied, "Thc gods
will see it," And as TO every part OF
our life, we should bear in mind that
God sees il, and should endea,or ~ to
live as to be approved by him. On
plain tablet in Westminster abbey is an
inscription over the remains OF one who
was once eminent as a sculptor
+" What was, an artist, seemed of some i'm
portance to mo whils lived
But what vas, As a believer In Jesus Christ. is
the only thing Of importance to me Dew7"
And such will be the judgment of every
one of us as we look back from the
hour Of death, or from the unseen world,
on our earthly life and state.
departing or coming year is full OF
lessons to us-lessons we all should pom
der. The rules that some one has sug-
gested for the opening of every year and
for our guide through its days, if we are
spared to behold them, are full of wis
dom and safety: "Say nothing you
would not like God TO hear. Do no .hing
You would rot like God to see. Write
nothing you would no. Ike Gsd to read.
Go no where you would not like God to
90 with you. Read no book of which
you would not like God TO say, show it
to me- Never spend your time in such
a way that you would not like God TO
say, what art thou DOING"
SO endeavor to live, and life will be
continually preparing you fer death. and
death will ne,e er find you unprepared TO
depart.
Dost tnou ask, When comes this hour A"
Then. when II shall suit thee best
Trust His faithiulness and power
Trust in Him, and quiet rest.
Labor on, and hope. and wait;
Jesus never comes too lats
suddenly though He may come
IT'S to bear thee to thy home.
