According to the last report of the
Commissioner of Agriculture it appears
that 1900, 900 persons in the United
States are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. The total value of farms and
farm implements is $13, 461, zoe, ,433, or
two-thirds of the productive wealth Of
the Nation. The value of farm prod
ucts and live stock in 1873 was $3, ,O0O,-
900. 900. against $1,000. OOO, 900 of min
ing and manufacturing products. Thus
it appears that not only majority of
the adult male population of the United
States is engaged in agriculture, but
more than one-half the wealth of the
Union is invested in that industry.

She seemed in your boyhood as pure and fair

And every time yeu passed her

In the tender gaze Of her azure eye
Your glad young heart beat faster.
Her voice was musical to your ear,
Her joyous laughter you loved to hear,
And while you looked. and listened,
You saw her beautiful golden curls,
The envy of all the other girls:
Her cheeks were red. and the teeth like pearls
That in her sweet mouth glistened.
In the district school-room you loved to look
At her fair young face; DER your thumb worn
When the teacher turned S his back awhiie,
It made you happy to see her smile
As you siyly handed across the aisle
The apple you had brought her.
She said she loved you; you proudly smiled,
And even fancied, though but child,
You could not live without her.

As you hauled her home upon your sled;
You ate your supper and went to bed,
And dreamed all night about her.
