A. last the merchants of New-York seem to be

the loss of trade because of railway determinations

of business for all. it would make rates TO Sc

these things have been known and apparent for six

The reaction in favor of farming, 81

The reaction in favor of farming, as
against ventures in city life and mercan
tile BUSINESS, is becoming 80 marked as to
attract attention from the press all over
the country. The OVERLOOKING cities with
ing list Of business failures begin to
teach young men (and old ones also) that
it is safer to invest in small farm which
will surely bring subsistence even If
it be a frugal one, than to peril all in
the one chance out five Thousand lot
terry Of city life And so far az health
and happiness are concerned the bal
ance on the farmers side is almost lnva
riably heavily in favor. Says the Boston
Journul: Great changes have been made
III the methods OF farming. 1t is no long
or lie of drudgery, and it has been
demonstrated IN a thousand OF instances
that high intelligence and rare Judgment
have produced no more satisfactory or
real results than when employed in New
England agriculture. There is good rea.
son to believe the movement has begun
which in ten or twenty years will restore
to the agricultural portions Of New Eng
land nearly as large population as they
maintained before the era of lnanufac-
turing enterprise, with greater prosperl-
ty. 1t may not bc amiss in this conncc-
ton to suggest to boards Of agriculture
in New England that they could do their
States no greater service than to collect
information Of the location and value OF
farms for sale in order that hundreds OF
inqulrers may know where to look for
accurate and satisfactory intelligence.

JeAnnctte's Gift.
BY MARY BARR.


One Christmas eve the fair Jeanette
Dreamily sat before her glass;
Not braid in its place was set,
Curls were Ill in tangled mass;
There she sat with lazy grace,
Smiling back at her own bright face.
Over her neck the hair unrolled.
Small white fingers among it stray;
Philip says it is just like gold,
But Philip knows just what to say,
Harry he looks and signs and looks,
Philip talks as they do in books.
Harry, know, is true as steel,
Never thought has he OF harm;
Philip is stylish aud very gentcel,
Harry just owns dairy farm;
Philips a lawyer and loves fee,
Harry loves nothing at all but me.
O, last summer, what hours wespent
Anklo-decp in the orchard grass;
Harry went wherever went
bright was the face in the looking glass;
Now it is Christmas eve III see
How Philip and Harry remember me.
Under the holly Jeanette stands,
ROBBED In the richest silks and lace,
Jcwcled lockct within her hands,
Holding the handsome Philips face
,Teweled locket and golden chain
Claspcd with her own and Philips name
Under the holly Jeannettc stands;
Harry enters with Il glowing face
Clasps to his heart two small white hands
Pleads like a man for loves sweet grace
Puts to her word his heart and life
Whispers: "Jcannette, be my sweet wife.
Under the holly two there stand,
Looking into each others eyes;
Plain gold ring on a small white hand
Harry slips with a fond surprise
Plain gold ring that nothing shall shift;
Harry is Jeannettc's Christmas gift

Naples.

Laughing Naples! 1t has charm of
never goes to bed. Early in the morning
may be heard the tinkle Of goat-bells
and the patter Of mnlt:tudiDous hoofshur-
ryiny to pasture. Then comes the quick
tramp OF the regiments, headed by bands
ont on their days exercise; the city cries
of fish aud fruit and water; the horns OF
the tramway omnibuscs; the thousand
voices of men and women and children
who all seem to shout together and to
shout forever; all these noises begin
the day in good time, and 60 on Vithou.
lntcrmissi0n, save tor siesta in the sum-
mer, till far into the night. When the
sun has gone down, there are no more
goat-bells nor the tramp of soldiers to
swell the ceaselcss uproar: but, instead
of these mandolin players wander from
house to house, singing safely for soldi
those Neapolitan love~songs which once
were sung only for love and at risk l
is a strange tall in poetry to hear these
carcssiDg and passionate strains, which
we're once worth SO much Likelihood O
gallant men and lovely women, coarselv
screamed beneath the balcony by some
ragged robin who would rather die in the
sun than work in the shade: and WHO
wanders about twanging his mandolin
and giving out his songs until Ae has
scraped just enough tor his supper Of
macaroni and red wine. But very little
romance is left in the world an where
and even Naples has become in certain
sense, prosalc like the rest.

The Reason.

Dear. dear! what is the matter HOW
With papa's precious little pet:
How troubled is the little brow.
The cheeks with falling tears arc wet.
Come here, and tell your papa, sweet;
What it Is alt about" III sha'nt"
And ON stool she took seat.
Back to mo with an angry tlaun,.
vi course she needed discipline;
But we who felt the rigorous rule
In childhood, are quite apt to sin
NJ the extreme from that old school.
SO | read ON and let her pout
!AW hile, and then said PLEASANTLY
"tume, Rosy -PoSv, turn about
And tell me what your grief can be.
Did dolly cry when she was dressed,
Or Carlo bark till you were fraid,
nl Katy scratch because YOU pressed
Or punched or scared her as you played?
Did uumna--" "Ies. that's what is is"
She cried, and faced me in 4 trice.
"Shr wouldn't do my hair in iriz
And then she said wasn't nice!
