In School.

A school-boy being asked by
the teacher how he should fog
him, replied:
"If you please, sir, should like
to have it upon the Italian system
of penmanship-the heavy strokes
upward, and the down ones light"
Schoolmistress pointing to the
first letter of the alphabet): Come,
now, what is that ?"
Scholar.-I shan't tell you.
Schoolmistress: Yon won't but
you must. Come, now, what is it?
Scholar: l shan't tell you. T
didn't come here to teach you, but
for you to teach me.
A country schoolmaster had two
pupils, to one of whom he was
partial, and TO the other severe.
One morning it happened that
these two boys were late, and
were called up to account for it.
"You must have heard the ell,
boys; why did you not Gomez
"Please, SIR said the favorite,
II was dreaming that l was going
to Margate, and thought the
school bell was the steamboat
bell.'
Very WE'LL" said the master,
glad of any pretext to excuse his
favorite.
And now, sir" turning to the
other, what have you to say?p
"Please, SIR" said the puzzled
boy, I'll was waiting to see Tom
off.

Food for Thought.

Some hearts, like evening prim-
roses, open most beautifully in the
shadow of life.
Pride that dimes on vanity sups
on contempt.
In memorys mellowed light we
behold not the thorns; we see only
the beautiful flowers.
CaIumny would soon starve and
die of itself, If nobody took il in
and CAV il lodging.
Believers have life that death
can never touch.
IF misfortune hits you hard, you
hit some thing else hard; 60 lnlo
something with will.
Nature knows no pause in pro-
gress and development, and at
taches her curse to all inaction.
Nothing is too hard for Cod
not even my heart.
1t il with our good intentions
81 with our days; Tomorrow is
hut too often the hash IT to-day.
IL is not what you Ii We in your
cnest, but what you have in your
heart. THAT makes you rich.
God hears no more than the
heart speaks; and if the heart be
dumb, God will certainly be deaf
IF the way 10 heaven be narrow,
il is not long and if the gate be
straight, it opens into endless life.
Set watch over thy month,
and keep the door of thy lips, for
a talebearer Is worse than thief
He that walks uprightly before
God will walk honorably before
men and Is safe in every place
and condition.
IDtegrity without knowledge Is
weak and useless, and knowledge
without integrity Is dangerous and
dreadful.
1t would tire the hands Of an
angel TO write down all the par
dons that God bestoWs upon true
renitent believers.
The diamond fallen into the dirt
is not the less precious, and the
dust rai-ed by high W .nds to heav-
en- is not the less vile.
1t il wonderful how silent man
can be wheE he knows his cause is
Just, and how boisterous he be-
comes when he knows he is in the
wrong.
A man cannot be prosperous
Christian without settled seasons
OF prayer. Opportunities to pray
will be found when the heart is
intent on the exercise.
Conversion Is life from The dead.
1t is the healthfulness and growth
af functions that were entirely ex-
tinct, in contradistinction from the
notion that it is an education OF
the heart--a mere training of an
inherent principle.

The Kitchen Sch DOL.

There is a kitchen school in Bos.
ton at which the children are
fought to sing as they work. Here
is the bed-making song:
When you wake in the morning,
At the dawning,
Throw of the bedding and let in all the air;
Then shake up the pillows,
In waves and in pillows
AID leave them near windows, if the day
is quite fair.
For beds made in hurry,
A fret and a Rurry,
Are always unhealthy and musty. It's
sure;
But left for an airing,
Painstaking and caring.
And one must sleep sweetly to know ii is
pure.
The rules for bed-making.
If ever forsaking,
You list to the careless and hurry them
through,
They'll soon grow 80 matted;
So harsh and so hatted,
You'll wish you had listened, and kept
hem cutie new.

Y. City. Dear sirs-It affords me great
pleasure to inform You of the wonderful
cure your ''Constitution Water" has
wrought upon my wife. Her doctor had
pronounced her incurable Of Diight's
disease Of the kidneys, but, thanks to
you, she is as well to-day as she ever was
in her life. She says she is certain if it
had not been for your medicine she
would have been dead before this time,
aud truly hopes that all who suffer with
Bright's kidney disease will Try your
Constitution Water" before they wait
too long. Wishing you many happy
years, and that your medicine may reach
every sufferer, am Sirs, very respectful
II yours. ". A. TREvATHAS.

POWER OF WEBSTER'S EYES.

The first criminal case Mr.. Webster
was engaged in was when in the practice
of the law at Boscawen. He was junior
counsel, and the case was tried at Ply
month. st the examination of g witness
who was one of your moderate speaking
self poised men, the impression was fix
ed upon the minds Of the counsel that
he had not told all. Every approach the
ingenuity of counsel could make was
made upon him; still he was the same.
jeremiah Smith of Exeter was the pre-
siding judge, a man uneqnaled in his
aeuteness. He questioned the witness
with similar success. AS lie was step
ping down from the stand Mr.. Webster,
giving the man one of his looks, said:
sMr. Witnessl" asked him one question
aud drew from him the answer they had
been SO long after. Upon another ocea-
sion while he resided at Portsmouth,
man from Newmarket was prosecuted
and summoned to appear before three
justices at certain hour of day. Web
ster inquired, ''Before whom are you
summoned 2" The man told him. ST
will be there" said Webster. This JUS
tee in chief was not of very savory
reputation, which Webster knew. So
mounting his horse he rode in a chill
November day to Newmarket. Entering
the court room he found the justices
awaiting his arrival before a good fire.
He stepped at the fire to warm himself,
occasionally turning his eyes upon the
offensive justice. The justice rose, went
out of the room, and did not return, and
as the law required his client to be al
raigned before three justices, and there
were but two present, he secured his
discharge, thus looking justice of the
bench"

DAKOTA WHEAT FIELDS.

Harpers Magazine: OF the four hun
dred million bushels of wheat produced
in the United States, by far the largest
portion is sown in the fall, and is called
winter grain. The varieties are condi-
toned by soil and climate, the latitude
of Milwaukee making in general the
northern boundary of winter wheat.
The area suited for the production of
wheat sown in the spring hitherto has
been of limited extent, but there is an
undeveloped section of the country SO
wide and far reaching that it may be re-
garded as the great summer wheat field
Of the future. It's capabilities are so
vast, and the insurance of production SO
certain, that the millions of the Old
World may ever think of it as a land that
will supply them with bread.

west over the Northern Pacific Railroad
two hundred miles, beyond the forest
region of the Upper Mississippi, will
find himself on the eastern edge of this
bread land of the future-the valley of
the Red River, a stream flowing north
ward to Lake Winnipeg, and thence to
Hudson Bay.
In August, 1889, the writer of this
article rode over this former hunting
ground Of the Sioux, where through by
gone ages they chased the buffalo and
fought the Chippewas. The valley of
the Red River was vast expanse. No
hill, no gentle undulation, nothing but
the fringes OF trees along the streams,
bounded the sight. It was reach of
prairie unbroken by the plough. Our
own voices, or the song of meadow-lark,
plover, and crrlew, ana other fowl, alone
broke the solemn and oppressive stiffness
Hudson Bay Company had reared
house, and two or three settlers had set
up their cabins upon the banks OF the
river. We encountered man whose
birth place was in Virginia, who had
been a frontiarsman in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, vidette OF civiliz-
alton.
Have you any neighbors?" we asked.
ooh yes; three families have just sett-
led about twelve miles from here. They
are getting pretty thick, and I shall have
to move on, L reckon"
They have been getting thicker since,
aud the locomotive is speeding It's way
across the valley, on 10 The Missouri. and
beyond to the Yellowstone; it is flying
down the valley to Winnipeg, and soon
it will thunder along the Saskatchewan,
far away in the distant Northland. Farm
houses dot the landscape; towns have
sprung up; the traveller beiolds piles
of lumber, long lines of farm wagons,
pioughs, seeders, harrows, reapers,
threshers, and farm engines at every
railroad station. Marvellous the change;
in 1869 a furrowless plein; 1879, har-

ere long to be eighty million!
