YAREW EEL WORDA


Original posm read by John B. Cook beit
the M. \. X. A. open meeting, Tuesday eve
Ing. Nov. l2th.
Farewell words, like solemn music,
Live forever In the heart.
Speaking low In s0itenea whispers
Ufthe hosis. who met to part:
Speaking low. like hiddened voices,
OF the faces stained with tears,
That have watched their loves receding
Down the lapses Of the years.
Farewell words immortal libger
Round the hearth Of every home,
And like ghostly footsteps falling,
Through the empty chambers roam;
Wandering up and down the stairway,
Like a song that has been sung,
Like story long forgotten,
Now from memory q cloister rung.
Farewell wordy. to spoken language,
Ars what dimness Is to sight,
What the sigh Is TO gay laughter,
What the shadows are TO light;
Thcyy the bur''en Of the night wind.
They7 tie sound Of pattering rain,
They9 the song OF autumn forests,
They2 the sunsets purple stain.
Many sad iarewells are spoken,
Many uttered, hall in fest,
Many, with a cool indifference,
Others with hearty zest;
Some with tears, are said forever,
Some pronounced but for day,
Some are spoken for the moment,
Others TN brown locks are gray.
not alone In grandest mansion,
Not alone III humble cot,
Not alone by lordiy master,
Not alone by cringing s0t
Are these farewell partlngs given,
But alike by rich and poor.
Whefssoe'er are paths dlverging,
Wheresoc'er closing door.
But thc longest In duration,
And the sadaest ever heard,
Are those words In anguish spoken,
When remorse heart has stirred;
Who has wasted all moments,
In 4 lie Of sin and shame,
Who has lost its wealth of manhood,
Who has soiled goodly name
Who, Of all the souls about him,
Is the sutcast and the scum,
Who has wrecked his every virtue,
For the sake OF blasting rum
Who has tossed aside as tritiinK,
All the wealth sf mothers love,
Who has bartered Tor his toddy
Every thought Of Him above.
All the farewclls he must utter,
In tho desolate days to csme;
All tho long good byes 10 pleasure.
Aa! the long looks after home;
Never n word oi love when dying.
Never bened iction said,
Never an ,ar 10 catch his farewell,
Never an answer when he's dead.
Farewell words ON wedding morning,
Kind good.nights In evenings still,
Loving adieus TO grace our journeys,
All our thoughts aud memories I'LL;
But TO him who dies drunkard,
All from homo, aud help, and love,
Only tho night winds whisper DER him,
Only the long grass sighs above.

A LARGE OFFERING
CT
| UPIh'S FABRICS

Having had advices of Centempla.
ted advance Of LUPIN'S FABRICS, es-
pecially their Black Cashmetes and
Merinos, we have hastrned W make
another very large purchase OF these
celebrated goods, so that we may be
| able to continue the sale of them at our
PAST LOW PRICES.
The immense quantities we handle
give US great facilities in the purchase
Of these goods, which leads us to be-
| pye that there can be no successful
competition with US in prices, provi-
ding the goods could be found in this
market.
We have heard much dissatisfaction
expressed of late by ladies who have
purchase Black Goods in poorly
lighted stores, by finding after they
got them in strong light that they
were too Blue i'm color and in
ferior in quality.
Our Black Goods Depart
ment is located in the lightest part
of our magnifciently.lighted store, SO
that ladies may make their selections
with the positive knowledge that the
goods can appear no better in color
or quality at time Of purchase than
when examined with the utmost scru-
tiny at home.

The influence of vegetation on the soil is
much more easy to determine than on the
mind of man, The difference is most appar-
ent on comparing the soil of tract of land
covered with wood with the soil outside, in
other respects alike. The Bavarian Forest
Department deserves great credit for having
established meteorological stations with
special reference to forest culture, under the
superintendent of Prof. Ebermayer, of
Ash6enburg. He has published his first
years observations in work on s'The Infu
ence of Forests on the Air and Soil, and their
Climatic and Hygenic Importance" which
may be recommended to every one who wishes
to study on the subject.
Modern hygiene has observed that certain
variations in the moisture of the soil have a
great influence on the origin and spread of
certain epidemic diseases, as for instance
cholera and typhoid fever-that these dis
eases do not become epidemic when the
moisture In the soil is not above or below a
certain level, and has remained SO for long
time. These variations can be measured with
greater accuracy by the ground-water Of the
soil than by the rainfall baoaae0 IN the latter
case we have, to determine how much water
penetrates the ground, how much runs off
the surface and how much evaporates at once.
The amount of moisture in the soil of a forest
is subject to considerably less variation than
that outside. Ebermsyer has deduced the
following result tromjhs meteorological obser-
vations on forestry: SIT from the soil of an
open space 100 parts of water evaporate, then
from the soil Of forest free from underwood
5S parts would evaporate, and from a soil COW
cred with underwood only Is parts would
evapor .te." This simple fact explains clearly
why the cutting down of wood over tracts of
country is always followed by the drying up of
wells and springs.-Popular Science Monthly.

AGRICULTURAL.
Carrots a. a Farm Crop.

Carrots as n Farm Crop.
A correspondent of the Country Gentleman
says; think farmers are not sufficiently
aware of the value Of carrots for feeding, or
else they would be more generally grown. /
find them very valuable to feed laying hens in
winter-in tact far superior to any other veg
etable for this purpose. The carrots should
be chopped fine, or crushed with a mallet, or
axe, or in some other way, and fed every
morning. Onions should be added about
twice a week. If this is done the hens will
feel grati6ed, and show their gratitude by an
increase of eggs. Many dairymen use carrots
to color winter butter. The best way to color
butter with carrots is to feed them to the
cows. am confident that horses will thrive
better II fed carrots once day than if hay
Tor straw and grain are used.
There is certainly no crop that pays better
than this. One thousand bushels per acre is
by no means an uncommon yield. Perhaps
the labor and expense of wedding is the
greatest objection to growing them. To obvi-
ate this difficulty, in a measure, have sown
them upon the same ground for ten successive
years, manuring the land heavily each year
with hen manure. By this course, and by
Using fresh seed, and sowing very early, the
wedding is not difficult. OF course land that
is rich enough 10 grow profitable crop, will
have many weeds at best; but get your land
once clean, use manure which is free from
foul seeds, start early. and the labor will be
very much reduced.
Using green manure has a tendency to
cause the roots to grow forked aud misshapen,
but that is of little consequence if they are
fed out on the farm. t"Thinning out" is not
so important (but always desirable) when
they are to be fed, as the number of bushels
will be about the same when not thinned, but
the roots will be smaller. Only seed of the
oh ho
two years old will lessen the crop one-half;
besides, they are longer terminating, conse-
quently the weeds will get the start and
cause much additional labor. The Long
Orange is decidedly the best variety to grow
for stock.
