Goodbye Till Morning.

A FEW evenings ago, l heard two lit
tie girls, who had been playing together
during the early part OF the evening,
taking their leave OF each other for the
nighl. And how different from the way
in which some little boys and girls take
their leave of each other, after playing
together during the evening. As they
separated, heard one of the girls say,
Goodbye till morning, and then they
ran merrily home. | could not help
thinking of the affectionate and hopeful
words of parting, Good bye till morn

boys and girls who play together could en-
joy themselves as these two little girls
did, and when the proper time comes.
part in the same cheerful and friendly
manner.
But my thoughts did not stop here. l

of them the more beautiful they seemed.

A Stimulus.

A stimulus is good thing sometim es.
Every year farmers find something to
stimulate sowing more land TO wheat than
is for their best good, we think. Now,
the stimulus is big and powerful one
war in the heat-growing districts of Rus
STA and few thousands of men fighting
While there is every probability that
wheat will bring good price for a year
to come, and that we can fipd ready mar
ket abroad for all that we can raise, yet
it is very questionable whether it will be
good policy for farmers to change their
regular routine or course of cropping to
sow larger breadth to wheat Half our
population are farmers, and they need a
season or two of good crops and good
prices-two things which seldom come
together Good crops are obtained
only by the best modes of culture.
Under the ordinary mode of rails
ing wheat the crop is oftener light
than large and remunerating. Every
year the disappointments are nearly uni
versal among farmers when the wheat
crop is threshed. They admit that they
make but little money out of wheat, but
this certainly is oftener owing to the way
the crop is grown than to any unavoidable
weather influence Now, if under the
great stimulus of big and long war
| farmers SOW an extra large breadth tc
wheat and put it in careless and I'M
| farmer-like manner, the crop will surely
fall far below the common average-low
as that is. We are quite sure that unless
extra care is taken with the land in max
| ing it rich and in cultivating it well
we shall lose more than we shall make by
the operation.
A farmer cannot alter his rotation for a
single year without disturbing lis plans
for years to come. What then would you
have farmers do? it may be asked.
Sow no more land but prepare the usual
quantity in a better manner. This is our
advice. Then you will realize as much,
or more, and be in no danger of loss from
general change in your course of rota-
ton. System and an adherence to it are
of quite as much importance for a farmer
as for the merchant, though ii is not SC
considered. No farmer can alter his reg
ularly established system of farm opera
tions-if he has one-without great loss
If he has no system, but Is governed by
every passing event, then it makes but
little difference what he sows, or how
much Of this. or how little Of that. Lei

then you may be guided safely. Wher

international sunday-sehooI Lessons
Faithful to His Colors.

We do not doubt the devotion that
crowns itself with dying sacrifice. Inc
farthest measure of sincerity is reached
where martyr yields his life, or the
holder of a sacred trust gives hsmseJ as
the price of its safety.
A story of the brief Austro PrussIan
War Ia little more than ten years ago.,
told to illustrate the last enthusiasm OF
patriot, contains, too, beautiful lesson
of fidelity for every tue man and Chris
tan disciple.
During the Battle Of Trautenau Gin Bo-
hemia), a young Austrian Ensign was
MORALLY wounded, and fell backward into
a trench. The trench had considerable
water in it, and when he rolled to the
bottom he found himself unable to rise
That wet ditch must be his death bed---as
il was to many another poor soldier In
that hard bought fight. -,
But. faithful to his duty, the man still
held fast in his hand the colors OF his
regiment, which he had carried on the
field. Half covered with water, he strug-
gled with his failing strength TO tear then
| from the staff. His one wish was to save
them from capture by the enemy. 1t was
all he could hope to do, to hide them
from the sight and the triumph OF ene-
mics.
Loosed from the staff, he hastily
wrapped together the precious standard,
bloody and rent with shot, and thrustlne
it under his body, lay patiently waiting
his fate.
The cool water that drenched his clothes
lessened his dying thirst, and he suffered
but little pain. He wondered if he could
| last-if he could remain unmOlested-till
the battle was over Then, perhaps
friends would fni his body, instead o
foes.
But the war-storm swept by, and COM
pany of the victorious Prussians passed
over the trench and saw the young officer.
badge. They were his enemies, but they
were noble and humane They stopped
and were about to lift him, and call one O.
their surgeons; but he begged them t.
leave him alone.
&c am comfortable, now" he said. :"
am mortally wounded, and it will yer,
soon be all over; let me die here"
| The soldiers complied with his request
and the tramp of their feet as they hast
ened away was the last sound the dyin.
Ensign heard. He had guarded his be
loved flag. He closed his eyes, and hi
face wore an expression of peace.
The battle ended, and the Prussian
were masters of the field. While seekin,
for their own wounded and dead, they re
moved the young Austrian's body, ant
under it found the regimental colors which
he had concealed with such sacred care
The generous foemen could not carry tina
trophy away. They wrapped him in it
folds, and left him to his rest.
Homer is the soldiers watchword. TIL
watchword OF the Christian is g Christ.
All that finds the hearts best love, ant
spurs to life's grandest duty, and inspire
to faiths last devotion, gathers in that be
loved name. As true as was the Austrian
to his trust, let every Christian disciple b.
to Christ-true to Him in spirit, in con
duct, in principle, in hopes-true to Him
living and dying. After this bearing o
the banner comes the wearing of tn

Tax the Dogs and Save the Sheep.

! Time was when, acting upon the hint
given by the wolves which hunted in
packs together, man followed the wild
dogs that he might share the game which
their superior speed had secured. By as
ISOLATION they became familiar, and at
last, by his power of welding the club,
man became master and the dog slave.
Then the dog was really useful to man
kind, and would be so yet if we lived by
the chase. The keeping of dogs is a relic
of savagery, as useless to civilized man as
it was once useful. Once they were even
necessary, but now it is difficult to realize
the extent of Injury done by them in a
single year, in this country alone. Man
is off with the old love and on with the
new. and in place of the dog which was
his first friend and servant, able only to
help his master secure food, he now has
the sheep and the COW, which give him
both food and clothing, and the horse TIC
bear his burdens. Leaving out of account
the many human lives lost by that most
horrible of all death, hvdrophobia, any
one of which lives were of more worth
than all the dogs that live, we will yet find
that the dog does less real good and costs
us more than any other domestic cnimal.
His ravages among sheep alone cost the
country thousands of dollars annually, an
item of all the greater Importance since
we have not nearly enough sheep to sup
ply the wants of the country, but must
send our hard carmel gold abroad to pay
others for what we should produce easily
for ourselves. This fact itself is partly
due to the influence of the dog upon the
sheep farming interests. In several by no
means insignificant districts sheep grow
