Goodbye, Josephine. You will not
forget our pleasant companlonship of
the past few weeks, will you, little
friend?"
The summer sun was just gong out
of sight behind the tall hills which rose
far above the little red farmhouse COW
cred with climbing roses and clematis,
and its last rays lighted the tops Of the
tall trees in the distance, while the en-
tire valley rested in the shade Of the
approaching evening. Atar Off the
call Of the cow boy sounded, ringing
out upon the stiffness with monotonv
that grated harshly upon the ear Of the
stylish young man who leaned SO lazily
against the fence that enclosed Farmer
Granger's neat little home. His black
eyes were fixed searchingly upon the
sweet face of q young girl who stood
Just inside the gateway, one slender
hand resting upon the gate, which stood
open. At his words there had been an
eager, upward glance of the brown
eyes, which dropped beneath the pierre
ing look Of her companion. Slowly
the color faded odt OF the perfect face,
and slight shiver passed over her
slender form, but only for moment
then She raised her head proudly and
half detiantly as she replied:

better off than their grandfathers, but they
have still to toll and deny themselves and see
the rich enjoying their wealth in greater num-

from them that great fact of sociology-perhaps
the greatest of all-that the earth, do what we
will with it. will probably never afford much
more than subsistence to tine great mass OF
mankind, that is, plain food and plain clothing.
Inc race, by ceaseless toll and enseavor,
throws some of its members above want or
anxiety about daily bread, and gives lew
leisure to keep its records and add to the stores
of its knowledge, but they are only handful
after all. The notion that by some little device
The world can be peopled by what are called

about the bountifulness OF nature. This notion

shops and mines undergoes curious distortion
and Degets strange impotence. The preacher
usually means that one thousand or ten th0us-
and years hence man will be refiDed, polished,
cultivated, at ease in his circumstances,
and noble in his life and aims, and able to dis
pense with the coarse or police side OF govern

perfection himself, and he is irritated by all

One cannot say. of course, with certainty how
these difficulties will be met, but it may be
affirmed with confidence that during the next
nifty years the character of instruction and
preaching on all social questions will change
greatly, though perhaps very gradually. and
that considerably less responsibility will be
imposed on governments and more on the in
dividusl man than during the last fifty years
and that when human being begins to con-
duct himself like wild animal the plea OF
nnhappiness will not BE- SO readily accepted in
his defence.

received however to show that the devastation
and sacrifice of property and life was appalling.
In the vicinity of Primrose % miles south
west of this city from there through Mount
Vernon to Poali the storm seems to have done
wide spread damage. Twenty-Five to thirty
