The course Cf the wesIiest river
Ends in the srsst gray sea
The scorn, for ever and ever,
strives u ward 10 the tres
The rainbow, the sky adjoining,
chimes promise through the storm;
The glimmer Of comm morning
Through midnight gloom Wi form,
By The time all knots are riven,
Complex although they b.,
And peace Will at last be given,
DeaI, both 10 you and me.
Then, though the path may be dreary,
Look inward TO the goal:
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul:
Beck the right. though the wrong be tempting
speaK truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gem is lost,
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
Though earnest and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining,
But with evening comes the light;
Through the dark are low winds complaining,
Yet the sunrise gilds the height;
And Love has mis- hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure;
And lime gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the Word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For we know that when we awaken
We shall be " satisfied"

One Kind of Economy.

Mr.. Daniel Needham, in a recent ad-
dress on "The National Outlook" be-
fore the Agricultural Institute of the
Worcester (Msss.) North Agricultural
society, gave his opinion of one kind of
economy as follows: 81 took dinner not
long since at the table of a wealthy man
who told me they were economizing.
He said they had turned off their house.
maids; they kept three, and his own
daughters were doing the housework,
he had turned off his hostler and sold
two of his horses, and he himself did
the work in the barn. We are doing
what we cam said he, to make better
tines 1 replied, 1 think you are
doing what you can to make times
woIse. You, who have abundance of
means, have turned out four persons to
be added to the great number o. unem-
ployed. And your daughters, who can
well afford to busy themselves in the
personal service which charity demands
of well-to-do humanity, are taking the
places of those whose comfortable ey-
istence depends upon the expenditure of
ordinary physical exeEtion.' There is
danger that this panic for conomy will
affect those to whom a more limited
expenditure would be parsimony rather
than economy"

SUNDAY READING.
The Difference.

Two babes were born in the seli-ssme town,
On the very same bright days
They laughed and cried in their mothers Arms
N the very selE-same ways
And both were as poor and as innocent
as falling fakes OF snow.
But one Of them lived in a terrsced house,
and one in the street below.
Two children played in the seII-ssme town,
And the children both were fair
But one had her eurls brushed smooth and round
The other had tangled hair.
Botn of the children grew spsce,
AS all cur children grow;
But one Of them lived in the teTraced house,
And one in the street below.
Two maidens wrought in the self-ssme town,
And one was welded and loved;
The other saw through the curtains part,
The world where her sister moved.
and one was smiling, happy bride,
The other knew care and woe;
For one of them lived in the terraced house,
And one in the street below.
Two women lay dead in the self-same town,
And one had tender care;
The other was left to die alone,
On her pallet 50 thin and bare.
One had many to NOUN her loss,
For the other few tears would flow;
For one had lived in the terraced house,
And one in the street below.
If Jesus, who died lforrich and poor,
In wonderful, holy love,
Took both of the sisters in His arms,
And carried them up above;
Then all the difference vanished at last,
For in Heaven none would know
Which of them lived in the tsrrsced house,
And which in the street below.

Serenity in Death.

Perfect serenity in regard to death is
not to be obtained by any effort of the
will, or by any process of reasoning it
is rather the result of happy combina>
ton of bodily and mental conditions.
The chief of these conditions, the assured
hope of 8 future beyond the grave, in
comparison of which the brightest earthly
visions fade like 8 candle before the
dawn, is not given to all f; and in these
days, especially, it is for many over
Swallowed, if not altogether blOtted out
by doubts and questionings which can
no longer be hidden from the multitude.
Even to those who most earnestly cling
to the hope OF immortality IL would seem
that our troublous inheritance OF sym.
pathy must cast many side-light upon
prospects in which of old the faithful
were able to take undisturbed delight
However this may be, the mere prospect
of prolonged existence beyond the grave,
apart from other reasons for joyful con
fidence, must be taken rather as enlarg-
ing the scope Of our hopes and our fears
than AS necessarily altering the balance
between them. Habitual hopefulness
may color the prospect beyond the grave
with the same glowing tints which il
throws over this world, 20 that in some
cases the same cause which makes life
delightful makes death not unwelccme'
Such a state of mind, though rare, is not
unknown. But perhaps a perfect ball
ance of feeling is more readily to be
tnnnd at q over level of expectation.

wherein Consists the Success Of Farming
Successful farming demands he breed
ing aud rearing of farm animals OF some
kind, not only for dairy products, meat,
wool and increase, but for manure.
Fsrm-yard manure must always remain
the standard fertilizer, while experience
in this country has shown that, under
skilltul hands, it may be supplemented
by commercial fertilizers. 1t is claimed,
however, by good English farmers, that
MANY of the artificial fertilizers act
chiefly as a stimulant. and after a time
the land refuses to answer the spur This
is most apparent on the poor and lighter
soils, but even strong land loses heart
unless a fair proportion of farm>yard
manure is applied. The lOudest agricul-
tural complaints in Great Britain are
from districts where scientific farming
has been carried to its highest pitch,
such as the Scotch Lothians and in nor
folk. 1t is highly important that, in the
purchase of artificial fertilizers, farmers
should deal only with those houses Of

require years to heal, and which, if not

mended to prevent injury is, to begin at
the bottom and cut half way through,
and then finish at the top; or, with very
large limbs, to have them supported by a
crotched pole or pitchfork held by an
assistant below; but we have found a
better plan, and quite as easy, to be to
make two cuts, the first at convenient
distance, say foot, from the point where
we wish the limb to be removed. This
short stump can, except in the case oil
very large limbs, be easily held in one
hand, while the final cut is made with
the Other.

Herbert Clayton had grown up with
Minnie from childhood. He had always
loved her, but had felt that deep gulf
separated him, poor widows son, from
the only child of the wealthy Mr.. Arlin,
and, therefore, he felt compelled to
worship from sfsr." He, too, had
heard the rumors of Mr.. Arlin's losses,
and he supposed this was the cause of
Minnie's agitation. He could scarcely
repress the hope, sweet and faint though
it was, that Minnie might now be his
but, checking this feeling, he seated
himself by her side to comfort snd cheer
if possible. Gradually she became calm,
and then she impaired to him the story
Of Roby. He was indignant at such
baseness, and, led on by his feelings, told
Minnie of his own love and hopes. His
unselfsh action touched her heart.
Here was one who loved her for herself,
and was willing to take her, even if poor.
But the wound she had received was too
fresh to allow her to do aught but rise
embarrassed, and, though thanking Her
bert with her eyes, to shake her head
sadly.
But that chance interview decided the
fate of both. The more she thought of
Herbert's disinterested offer the more his
character rose in her estimation. Means
time, as she had consented to receive
him as friend, he often visited her, and
