which are opposite the square-for the tenn

reason to doubt that the scheme which has
strong and wealthy backing, will be In some
way carried into effect.

Virtue In Whistling.

An old farmer once said he would not :
have hired man on his farm who did =
not habitually whistle: He always
hired whistlers. Said he never knew :
a whistling labSrer to find fault with
his food his bed, or complain of. any
little extra work he was asked to per-
form. Such man was generally kind
to children and. to animals in his
care. lie would whistle q chilled
lamb into warmth and life, and would
bring in his hat full Of eggs from the z.
barn without breaking one Of them.
He found such q man more careful
about closing gates, putting up bars,
aud seeing that the nuts on his plow
we're all properly tightened before he
took it out into the field. He. never
knew a whistling hired man to beat
or kick COW, or drive her on ruas
into the stable. lie bad noticed that
the sheep that be fed in the yard or
shed gathered around him as be
whistled without fear. lie had new.
er employed a whistler who was not
thoughtful and economical.
