TWO Noted Grave Roh,,cr..

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of the
grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio,
last May, the body being found I'm the dissect-
ing-room of the Ohio Medical College. Pub
lie indignation justly brands any man as a
scoundrel who will rob the grave of the dead.
But there are two noted grave robbers in the
country, SO far from being the subjects of the
peoples wrath, are universally lauded Tor
their virtues. The reason is plain. While the
former class steal the dead bodies of our loved
ones to submit them to the dissecting-knife,
these only rob the graves to restore the living
victims to our hearts and homes. Their names

Staying on the Farm.

THERE is no doubt that the boy who
is to grow up and stay on the farm and
make successful farmer, must like
his profession. This as is true in agri-
culture as in any other profession in life.
If the boy be worked from daylight to
dark, week in and week out, with no
recreation except what he gets at
church. very likely he will leave home
at the first opportunity for some more
congenial occupation. We believe
that, as a rule, farmers work too many
hours and give themselves too little rec
reation. We believe that in this day of
improved machinery for nearly every
operation of the farm, q full amount of
necessary labor may be accomplished
in ten hours, except in seeding and
harvest time. Of course there are al
ways necessary chores that must be
done at the beginning and ending of the
day, but there is no need that these be
accomplished during the very early or
very late hours of the morning or even
ing. The farmer, as a rule, who works
himself, his children, and his hands,
twelve, thirteen or fourteen hours q
day, seldom gets as much accomplished
at the years end as he who by wise
forethought systematizes his labor and
carries it forward during shorter hours.
For, the system thus remains fresh for
labor, and it is carried forward swiftly
and unremittingly. The team worked
constantly, for twelve hours . day,
soon become sluggish, and will accom-
plish no more in the given time than it
would in eight or ten hours. In fact,
we believe the average team will ac-
complish more in eight hours than in
ten, one day with another. For years
we adopted as q rule these hours of
field labor, except in pressing seasons,
and found it to work well. So it is
with men, and especially boys. If
overworked, boys become stOlid and
slOw-0ld before their time. sa iur
On the other hand, if allowed plenty
of time for recreation Gas necessary to
the young as food, they return to labor
not only with vigor, but they learn to
love labor as q means to increased COM
fort. They will be found to spend many
hours of recreation in some little act
of home adornment. Especially will
this be the case if they be given gar
den bed or two for flowers and vegeta-
bles, if they be allowed to dispose of
the produce as they please. Buy them
seeds, plants and bulbs. They need
not necessarily be expensive. These
may serve as a little source Of new
enue to their pockets as they in
crease, and from their store they can
sell and buy or. exchange. Furnish
them papers and books to teach them
the art, and it will not be money lily
spent. Above all, send them to school,
that their minds may be broadencd by
education. The boy or girl reared on
the farm with only three months school
ing in winter, with the schoOlhouse
perhaps q long distance from. home,
and three hours chores morning and
evening, are likely to become disguised
with the farm and seek other employ
ment as soon as they are out of leading
strings.
Happily nowadays this is fast be-
coming less and less common. Our free
school system makes II not difficult foz

Coal Oil Johnnie.

"COAL On JOHNNIE" who made
himself as we'll known in Detroit as in
anv other town he entered, was the son
of a poor farmer in PithOle, Pa, and
his real name was Steele. The miser-
able farm, which had never yielded
the family subsistence, proved to be
one of the richest oil locations in Penn
sylvania, and when Johnnie arrived at
manhood he found himself an orphan
in possession of a fortune of some
81, SOC, 900, which he commenced to
fling away with mad recklessness.
Rose was on hand and helped him to
get through with goodly share of it
in the maddest excitement of gambling,
riot and fast life. Coal Oil Johnnie
used to think he never could get to the
end of his pile. He would sit down
and calculate the thousands he owned,
and swear that he could never get rid
of it. He did, though, in little more
than two years, and now he is station
agent on the Atlantic & Great West
ern Railroad. Rose tells some charac-
teristic stories of his companion with
whom he travelled all over the Cont
nent, wherever sport and excitement
were to be had. Once, when sitting
with Steele and Murphy, variety
actor, who used to play at Beller's
place on Randolph street, q telegram
came for Steele. Murphy took it and
opened it. The dispatch was from
Hartford, Conn.,, and read: +" Twenty
thousand dollars here to your order.
What shall we do with it?" Coal Oil
johnnie refused to take the dispatch
after Murphy handed it to him.
." Write 'em an answer, telling 'em
that if don't call for it in five years to
give it to an orphan asylum" said the
magnificent spendthrift.
Two years later Johnnie called for
the money. He had spent all but that
sum, and it only served to keep him in
dissipation for few weeks.
Rose had at that time something over
32O, 900 that he had acquired himself,
and felt entitled to travel on a footing
of equality with this remarkable fool.
Once Johnnie got on a spree in De.
troit. He went to house on Macomb
street, and to make the orgie sensa-
tional, completely destroyed $3.50 pi-
ano, by stamping it in with his feet.
The next day he sent the owner $500
Steinway. In Philadelphia he saw a
pair of horses being harnessed in liv-
cry stable and wanted to drive them.
The stable-keeper refused, as the
horses belonged to another party, who
boarded them, but who would sell them
for 1900. Johnnie paid the money,
drove the horses furiously for two
hours, and then sold them to the col
ored coachman for dollar bill. Light
ing cigars with 800 notes was favor
tie diversion. He was charitable and
generous, with all his prohigacy, and
often did much good with his money

THE MUSIC OF THE TREES.

THE world is filed with music
10 ears attuned Alright,
ANA soul in perfect harmony
Is a soul all full of light:
But of true earthborn music,
=, that's thrown upon the breeze,
Few have such gentle beauty
As the music of the trees.
They all have different voices,
And We're their language known,
beauty all undrcamed would swell
In every varied tone;
Their hearts are swept by viewless wings,
Alike at eve or morn.
As To- the tranced and listening ear,
Their melodies are borne.
From boyhood's happy hour
To manhoods world of care,
Thro joy. or calm. or suffering,
Their music met my ear.
The Maple sang III gladncss,
While the Aspen danced in glee;
But the music of the mournful Pine
Was ever sweet to me.
When first knew its swelling notes
Twas as a blithesome boy
loved to climb its sturdy trunk,
And iii its arms to lie;
Full many a castle there l built
They all are tumbled now.
And pleasant was the music then,
1t hreathed across my brow.
made my Pine an Grant knight,
Or troubadour of old:
And the Maple WAS his lady-love--
Bearer than gems or gold.
He brushed his leaves and spoke to her
Across my waving hair,
And her gentle voice would rustic back
Sweet answer to his prayer.
But manhood came. and mid its cares,
Sweet voices gladness brought;
My children in the old Pine played,
Its topniost branches sought,
Or. meath its sturdy, spreading arms,
they shouted In their glee.
While the Pine would roll its echo back
Like the distant moaning sea.
Its voice WIS full of gladness then.
Its tone is mournful now;
The Fire King swept across its form.
And scathed its lofty brow;
The group that sought its welcome shade
Is now a broken ring
No hope of other life it has,
To meet their welcoming.
And ever still in saddened tones,
1t whispers in my ear.
Tho am scared my heart is sound
And upward my career:
BE thou the same-for unto thee
A better lot is given:
Ny life Is but for earth alone,
But thou cans't enter Heaven.
Thus music is in every tree,
And each leaf has tone.
And on the ear that listens,
Its melody Is thrown.
So. whate er may be the music
That Is flung upon the breeze.
There are few that have the sweetness
Like the music of the trees.

of people, one going to and the other
returning from Che point where the
waters meet, and am safe in saying
that the crowd was more dense than one

Dear Sir-For seven or eight years past

heart, my food distressed me, causing
acidity and pain in the stomach; and L
suffered from extreme nervousness, con-

sluggish in circulation, and l was for

benefit from it that purchased five bot
