The Coming Of Launcel0t.
BY j. P. B.

Brown Autumn, like monk, had, sombre-wise,
Come Ger the yelowiDg fields to Camelot;
And from red dawn to azure eve, bright eyes
From bower windows eager Rlances shot.
And red lips sighed, " hy doth he finger SfiIp'?
And Gueneyer, fairest of all. most pinned,
And, In her bower, moped lonely, smiling not;
and Ger the barley -crofts through which the wind
MOST Teal Of dtt why dost thou finger stitE''
And, aye, his golden beads sad Autumn told,
Ses Se fs sslsa
The comer's name; then all but one again
Sighed YEARLY, "Why doth he tarry stAt"?
Sometimes one came on destrier stepping high,
With armor showing neither dint nor STAN;
And losels laughed, and shouted mockngly,
he 6ringefh, sooth the GrdiL"' and then, again,
Red lips would sigh. "Why doth he finger still?"'
And sometimes came one on worpout steed,
With armor rent and marred with rust and gore;
And him they helped dismount and sought with
The story of his quest, while. as before,
ked LIPS would sigh, "And, yet, he tarrieth still"
And Autumn all his golden beads had told
ana seemed to bide some change-some peril sore,
Whites walled through scentless field and songless
void
The sorrowing winds, yet, certes, evermore
Sighed Guenever, "Why doth he tarry still'''
And one drear day, anigh to evepsong,
Into the gloom longing glance she shot;
And sighed, " On? come, my loce," whites stirred
Her bower-walIs and arras. and "Launcelot.~
She softly sighed, ",chy dost thou finger stiiL?'
And on her red lips, 10! the sigh was stayed
S Gy Inc NOT KISS and crying "Lamncetot"
she lay upon his heart; and Launce0t said,
I recon onty grq1 bring thee is, I scot,

There is not quite 30 much enthusiasm
in Aroostook over the beet sugar business as
would be justified by the prospect. Nobody
ex poets that the manufacture of beet sugar
will transform our farmers into million
aires. Nobody contends that at the
price offered for the beets every farmer can
raise them with profit. What is claimed
however is that if the beet sugar manufac-
ture proves successful it will afford to some of
the farming sections of the State market
that can be supplied with fair profit. Aroos-
took is supposed to be one of the sections
where the sugar beet can be proftably cult
waited. Certainly the Sugar Beet Company
are offering some strong inducements to try
the experiment. They agree to build fac
tory at Presque Isle if a certain number of
acres of beets can be pledged. The expert
ment seems to be attended with very little
risk to the farmers and it is difficult to see
why they are not more ready to try it.

THE REV HENRY WARD BEEcHER, 10 his
lecture on 1.-THE wastes and burdens Of society"
claims "man's natural life to be 80 years, and
as the Average life is but SO years, there must
be waste of AZ years." There is much of
truth in this statement If man bs unfortu-
nate in business, it is attributed to the violation
of some commercial law. Now if person be
taken off 10 the prime of life, ought it not to be
attributed to the violation of some physiologi.
cal law? If people only knew better, they
would live better and longer; but how can
they profit by that which they know not of?
The only popular work that meets this great
want is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser. In it the great problems of disease
and health are fully discussed. The work con-
tains over 900 pages and $50 colored plates and
wood cuts. Price $1.50 (post-paid) Address

The Penobscot farmers have been dis
cussing the following question: Resolved,
that poor man can farm more profitably
than rich one." The discussion was pc
culiar one as was inevitable, considering the
nature of the question. To undertake to
argue that poor man, simply because he is
poor can carry on farm more pro6tably than
a rich man, :simply because he is rich, is alb
surd, and discussion of such question
cannot possibly be carried on on a literal in
depreciation of its meaning. Consequently
the Penobscot farmers digressed and fell to
citing examples of poor men who had sue
ceeded and rich men who had failed. What
they proved by their illustrations was that
man cannot succeed without thorough
knowledge of bis business, whether rich or
NOR.

AGRICULTURAL.

Other things being equal, an intelligent
farmer has an immense advantage over an
ignorant one. knowledge is acquired gen.
orally in two ways-from experience, and
from books. Experience is slow and costly
teacher, and lifetime is not loug enough
for the farmer to get thorough knowledge
of his business from that source. He must
have recourse to books which are the deduc-
tions from the experience of thousands. The
long winter evenings are the time to resort
to this source. The summer is the season of
experimental knowledge.

I'm 1864 the farmer had to pay 20 cents
per pound for his sugar, to-day the same
amount may be bought for less than half
that sum. II his wife needed a new calico
dress it required 40 cents to buy yard, to-
day it requires but six. Delaines have fallen
from 40 to 10, ginghams from 40 to 9, checks
from IS to Is, Canton fannels from 95 to s,
bleached muslins from IS to u, brown mus
Inns from 55 to 8. These are only few
items in long list. Of course the produce
which farmers raise has fallen too, but not to
such an extent as those articles they have to
buy.

Many farmers who now find it hard work
to keep body and soul together might have
enough and to spare If they were not waste
fal in small things. Wealth is generally
made up of small accumulations, and poverty
is not infrequently traecable to improvidence
in little things. Men who will clutch dol
lar tightly when it is in one piece will often
when it is broken up into fragments, let
some of them unconsciously slip through
their fingers. The amount of money one
spend on i'll considered trifes is startling
when it is added up at the end of the year.
