SUNSHINE.

What dreary world this would be
if deprived of the rays of that orb of
light, the sun.
When the earth in its orbit, is car
ried away from the sun for season,
all nature is affected by the loss of
only part of the warmth impaired
by this great light-giv
The winds howl mournfully among
the leafless trees. The trees and plants
doff their gay foliage and wear "a SOM
Der look, as though, if it were in their
power, they would don garb of sack
cloth and ashes.
The beautiful flowers perish and de-
cay and are buried beneath mantle
of spotless snow, to remain until the
return of sunshine"
The purling stream is fettered by
bonds of ice. Well has the poet said
''The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year"
So much for the world of nature but
how is it in the social world? Here,
we are each and every one capable
of imparting some sunshine. Shall we
withhold itl If we do, the same fatal
results will follow as in the world of
nature. The chilly winds of pride and
hauteur freeze the young buds on the
tree of Human Love which were about
to bloom and bear fruits of affection
and kindness.
The flowers of friendship perish and
are buried under the mantles of reserve
and estrangelnent. The musical stream
of laughter is fettered by the bonds OF
conventionalities and the human heart
becomes CONCEALED, and 'inpervious to
the offerings of another heart that
fain would be congenial.
"a little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or n tear,
Has often healed a heart that's
broken,
And made friend sincere"
Let us not be afraid of giving smiles
and soft words; they cost nothing and
are little rays of sunshine to the hu
man heart. Little deeds of kindness
costing but little effort, are often re
warded by the satisfaction of knowins
that some ones pathway has beer
smoothed, or burthen made lighter
In a word, let us all, both great ant
small, contribute to the sunshine of tn,
social world. ID.

GRovx TOWNSHIP, March IL,

GROVE TOWNSHIP, March H. 1891
To the Farmers Of Crawford County:
Why is farm improvements so slow
in this county, This is a question ev-
cry farmer should ask himself-and,
also: Have | improved my place all |
could, or am | waiting for it to inn
prove itself? Have | encouraged my
neighbor by speaking well of his crops
and telling him he has done well, and
that his chances are better for the next
year2 These questions come home to
all of us, and if we will consider and
investigate we will find they are i'm
portant to all of us. II each farmer
could answer these questions as they
should be answered, there would be no
need of the first question, for the SOIL
if well worked, will pay for the labor
and the expense of working the first,
second, and third year. A person that
is farmer and expects his farm to
support him, will not let his land grow
poorer as he uses it.
Now brother farmers, we are not out
spoken enough about what we are do
ing, and what We are raising; the rea-
son is, We have been laughed at, and
sneered at, until we have nearly given
up-talking. ! mean. Now, let us turn
over a new leaf, and ask the AVA
LANCHK for a corner in which to tell
what We are doing, and what we have
raised, and in what manner we till our
crops. Any person can tell what they
have done, and how it was done; that
is, if they are interested: For out of
the abundance of the heart, the
mouth speaketh." FARMER.
