Poetry.

The Farmers.
The farmer came in from the field one day,
His languit step and his weary way,
His bendei brow, his sinewy hand,
All Shove his work for The good Of The land;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All Tor .he good of the land.
Fly The kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light of his haine, and joy of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band;
For she must boil,
And she must broll,
Ind she must toll,
All for the good of The homo.
The bright sun shines as the farmer goes out,
l he birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about,
The brook bubbles softly in the glen,
While he works SO bravsly for the good Of men
For he sows,
And he mowS,
And he hoes,
All for the good Of the land.
How lightly the wife stems about from within
The dishes to wash. the milk to skim;
The fire goes ort, flies buzz about;
For the dear one, 81 home her heart is stout;
There are pies to make,
And bread to bake,
AID steps 10 AXE,
All for the sake os home.
When the day is o'er anil the evening has come,
The creature, are fed, the milking done,
fye t1t Il . n @ a.I
From the labor of the land his thought is free;
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And ne mows,
He rests from the work of the land.
But hi, faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that is never done;
There is no rest, there is no play,
For the good of the house she must work away;
For to mend the frock,
And knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good of the home.
When autumn 10 here with its chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crop at last;
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he ne er hath care;
While it blows,
And it SHOWS,
The winter goes,
He rests from the work Of the land.
But the willing wife, till life's closing day,
Is the children's guide. the husbands stay;
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest;
For after the test,
Comes the rest,
With the blest,
By the farmers heavenly home.

time is. we are very sure it is rot when the
infinitely serious themes of the pulpit are
under discussion. If we were required to
name the one thing. that has most contrib

the power Of the American pulpit. and
lead men Of the world to regard religion
with Indifference. we would name the levity
of manner which preachers have cultivated
for the sake of entertaining their hearers.

by exposing the patient to current of air,

The yellow fever first appeared in New
orleans 1894. although it had been known
IN Havana tor 300 years before. From 1874
10 F91 the disease continued, the average
mortality being one in fifteen. For a num-
Der Of years the proportion of deaths from
yellow fever was not over 5 per cent. The
Year 1916 was considered bad one; the
Percentage of deaths 10 the total number
ofcases was 1886. The years 1922 and
l4l were very fatal. Previous to 1920 the
average mortality of yellow fever over
other diseases was in 29.03; from 1920 to
1880. in 3l74; from 1880 to 1910, ! in
