the reflection of her lovely face in the glass;
as she bent over the gems.

AS we reached the hall Miss Arlington
emerged from my room, and moved softly

Toe Nah Land.

The tendency of American farmers
is to acquire an extent of land entirely
out Of proportion 10 their means of I'm
proving it. Thousands of hard work
ing culIivators of the soil keep them
selves in state of poverty and distress
through the insane idea or owning large
farms. or of spending their entire CAPT
tai in the purchase OF adjoining acres.
when those already possessed are un-
productive through the lack OF means
for their proper cultivation.
Such an injudicious course of control
ling large areas by men Of limited
means, is as though an individual
should buy a wagon for service before
lie could command the price of the
horse to draw il; as though a merchant
should invest his all in q warehouse,
showcases, counters and signs, with
nothing left to purchase stock OF mer-
chandise; as though a railroad corpor-
alton should eNpend its entire capital
stock and resources in securing the
right-of-way, steel rails, sleepers, and
spikes, in the end finding itself unable
to obtain rolling stock-the engines,
freight and passenger cars.
What does il avail man TO own two
or three hundred acres of improved
land, if the deed has cost him all the
means at his command, or, even worse.
il he has been obliged TO make partial
payment in notes secured by mortgage:
How is property obtained at such cost
to increase the comfort, happiness OF
prosperity Of the purchaser. Large
farms, broad acres, herds of cattle and
fiocks OF sheep are perfectly Legitimate
for those who possess sufficient CAPT
tai TO pay fer them, but for him who
has but limited means, at his command,
few acres well filled, with a little re.
served capital for the purchase of tools
implements, seeds and improved ami.
mails, is far the wisest, safest course.
Any farmer, who, in his ambition &c
control large farm, devotes his entire
capital to its purchase, thereby enslaves
himself lior many years, perhaps fol
life, He is obliged to use his credit il
