The long green bell in the leaning tower
of Pisa, said to date back to the thiT-

very bell which, perchance, announced
to the awe-struck Pisans that the
wretched UgolinO, starved to death at
the bottom of the tower, had at length
ceased to breathe. The great Carolus at
Antwerp, which first rung in 1867 when
Charles the Bold entered the city, the
storm bell in Strssburg cathedral, which
still warns the traveller Of the tempest
seen from afar sweeping over the VOsges;
the small bell florida, the tocain, 1916,
covered with miidew, which hangs b gh
up in Notre Dame at Antwerp, and Ii
never rung, by reason OF its sgA Gnd in

We must not trust every saying or
suggestion, but wsrily and patiently
ponder things sccOrding to the will OF
God.
Yet, alas, such is our weakness that
we often rather believe and speak evil of
others than good.
But perfect men do not easily credit
everyone who speaks to them; for they
know that human frailty is prone to
evil, and very subject to error in words.
1t is great wisdom not to be rash in
thy doings, nor to stand stiEy in thine
own coneeits..
AS also not to believe everything
which thou nearest, nor Immediately tC
relate again to others what thou hast
heard or dost believe.
Consult with him that is wise and O
sound judgment, and seek to be In
structed by one better than myself
rather than to follow thine own inven
tions.
A good life maketh man wise &C
cerding to God, and giveth him expert
ence in many things.
The more humble a man is in himself
and the more subject unto God, tn
mere wise and peaceful shall he be in al
things.-T Thomas a. -Kempis.

ThA Bright side.

Look on the bright side. 1t is the
tight side. The times may be hard, but
IT will make them no easier to wear a
gloomy and sad countenanee. 1t is the
sunshine and not the cloud that gives
beauty to the flower. There is always
before or around Us that which should
cheer and Fill the heart with warmth
and gladness. The sky is blue ten times
when it is black once. Youhave troubles
it may be. So have others. None are
free from them, and perhaps it is as well
that none should be.
They give sinew and tone to life, for
titude and courage to man. That would
be dull sea, an the sailor would never
acquire skill, where there is nothing to
disturb its surface 1t is the duty of
every one to extract al the happiness
and enjoyment he can within and with>
out him; and, above sll, he should look
on the bright side. WAat though things
do look 9, little dark? The lane will
turn, and the night will end in broad
day. In the long run the great balance
rights itsslf. What appears i'll becomes
well-that which appears wrong, right
Men ars not always to hang down theil
heads CT lips, and those who do only
show that they are departing from the
paths Of true common sense and right
There is more virtue in one sunbeam
than IN a whole hemisphere of clouds
and gloom. Therefore, we repeat, looh
on the bright side. Cultivste all that il
warm and genial-not cold AID repulsiVe
the dark and morose.

Farm and plantation.
American Agriculture.

The possibilities of American sgricul-
ture can be best appreciated by reviews
ing the facts that the srea OF arabic lands
in the United States exceeds 100000
900 square miles, while the area at pres
ent under cultivation is estimated to be
IVA 900 900 acres, or less than $4,000
square miles. 1t is probable that the
nsxt census will show a valuation of
farms exceeding 81, 900, 900, 900, and an
annual production of 100000, 900.
The fact that more than one-hslf of sill
our people who are engaged in the ordi-
nary pursuits of life are directly en-
ployed in agriculture is st once suffi>
Gent evidence of its universslity and
Importance.
In the year 1S7 8 there were 81, 00S, 900
acres in Indian corn, producing 1871
100000 bushels; 92,2OS,O 900 in wheat,
with a yield of $4,000, 900 bushels
13,176,OOO in oats, giving 41l.S55, GOO
bushels; 100000 in barley, showing
crop of ~, 900, 900 bushels; 1921, 900 in
rye, with Is, 800, 900 bushels, and 67S, OOC
acres in buckwheat, yielding q product
of 1927, 900 bushels. Thus the total
cereal production for 1878 was 1924,
9O2, 900 bushels, raised on 100,476, 0O(
acres, while in 1874 the total crops were
but 1,454, 10000 bushels; in 1876
1852 ,S21, 800, and in 1877, 2,17S, 1884, CA
bushels. The future increase in the
farm productions of this country vii
result largely from improved systems o
cultivation, as well as from EXTENDED
areas under the pillow. A system o
agriculture presents but little to b
proud of which averages to the acre owe
the whole country yield OF but twelv
bushels of wheat, less than twenty
seven bushels of corn, and only twenty
eight bushels of oats. Compared wit
what modern agriculture is capable OF i
this direction, it is not too much
affirm that our farm crops, even o
their present area, may be doubled !
