The Best OF All.


Il love my love because she Is 50 fair:
Her eyes are like two Stars, her flowing hair
Like braided sunshine, :nd her small feet
feet
Keep time wl.,l my true heart like music
sweet
Il lsve my love because she is so wise:
Her soul sits calm and thoughtful in her eyes;
No passion stirs her; she is still and calm
As in tho tropic noon the quiet palm
Il love my love for that she is SO good:
No human heart hath fully understood
Her gentle ways, her happy, hopeful face,
Bright with the light Of some sweet, holy
place.
Il love my lovs,'' the fourth sang. glad and
Il love my love, because that she loves me-
Thi. is enough to make me proud and blesf;
love my love because she loves me best.'

The Modern Farmer

The Modern Farmer
The pipe of the quail in The stnbbie field;
The seen: of the new mown hay;
And all day long the shout and the soIg
OF the rcapers so far awey.
The restless racket amid the grain, s
The noise of the reaIiny machine;
And ever again the howl of pain
Comes over the meadows green.
Oh, sweet is the field where the meadow lark hi:s
And sings, As it soars and dives;
Where The granger sits, ard yells as he sits
His fingers among the knives.
No longer we hear on the hill-sides scrc
The scythe-stone's clicke:y-ciick;
But The reaping machine cuts his legs OF, ween,
Before ever tae man can think.
With forebodings and tears his good wife hears
The man of the house say goodbye;
TO return, in sooh, with a horse-raSs tooth
Sticking foui inches out Of his eye.
When the thrsshers come in, with halloo and din,
How buricned with sorrow the hour
When they pause to scan what is left Of the man,
Chawed up in an eight horse power.
Oh, 1.-The and listen! From over the hills,
What voice for The doctor bcgs?
'Tis the stokeI who fell, and, awful to tell,
The steam harrow ran over his legs.
Thus all day long, with mirih and song,
They laugh at The dread alarms;
Though the waving field shall its harvest yield
or FINGERS, and legs and arms.
Then pity the sorrows Of poor old granger,
Whose mauSlsd limbs have borne him to the
fence;
Who brayed with reckless courage, untold dan
ger, @A&
And ran his farm with modern implements.

business, between yourself and him, i.

them. Tel what classes are failures,
what topics in arithmetic, grammar,
reading, etc., you do not present in a
manner to interest the class; what
points in discipline you fail to accom-
plish. etc. Before school closes, speak
to him quietly of those things in which
he can serve you by advising the pu-
pills in brief address. Idleness, faults
of manner, resistance to wholesome
discipline and dislike OF certain

not try to deceive him and cover up

We believe it will be found that a
majority who oppose the higher
schools supported by the State, or pub
lie taxation, are those who from aris-
tocratic notions would deny the poorer
classes the advantages of a good edu-
cation, or capitalists who grudge the
cost, or, those who wish to keep in
favor with one of the above classes.
Legislators who fight free education
usually belong to the latter class.
AN exchange justly says that when
the common schools are made cheap
in cost and quality, the children of the
rich are sent TO private or denomina-
tional schools, and the poor who can
not do this, receive little education.
and as consequence are always ruled
by others. Gen. Grant said that there
was too much education to suit some
statesmen of the U. S. already. Poll
ticians and demagogues can rule none
but ignorant voters. Make your
schools poor and you make the COM
munity of twenty years hence, a place
which you would not care to live in.
