Master, Forever"

The following touching little
sketch is from the late work of
John B. Cough the distinguished
Temperance lecturer, entitled SUN
light and Shadow"
Two boys were in the school
room together, when some fireworks
were suddenly exploded When
the master questioned them, one
boy at once denied it; the other,
Bonnie Christie, would neither adj
NIT nor deny it, and without fur
ther question he was severely fog
ged. When the boys were alone
again, he who had escaped said:
Bonnie, why didn't you deny it p
Because there were only two Of
us in the room, and one Of us
must have lied"
Then why not say ! did it?"
Because you said you did not,
and ! pity liar andwill never tell
on him"
When school was again called,
the boy marched up to the masters
desk and said;
please, sir, | can't bear to be a
liar; | let off the crackers and
then burst into tears
After a moments pause, the mas
ter, hand-in-hand with the culprit,
before the whole school, walked
down to where young Christie sat.
Bonnie Christie, lad, said the
master, che and | have come to beg
your pardon; we were both to
blame"
The school was 50 hushed they
might have heard Bonnie's big-boy
tear-drops fall on his copy-book, as
looking up with the tears on his
cheek-such tears as the severest
hogging would never have forced
from his eyes-he gently said:
master, forever" and the glorious
shout Of the scholars made the raft
ers ring as the teachers eyes grew
dim with tears.

From the "MiStress of the Manse, +"

The time of roses came again:
And one had bloomed within the manse.-
Bloomed in a burst of midnight pain,
And plumed its life in fair expanse,
Beneath loves nursing sun and rain.
In calyX fair of lilied lawn,
Wrapped in the MOSES of the lamb,
Long days it lightened toward the dawn
OF the bright-blushing orifiamme,
That on two happy faces showd
Such tendance meier had flower before!
Such beauty meier had flower returned,
Found on that distant island-shore,
Whose secret She at last had learned,
And made her own for evermore.
Mildred consigned it to her breast;
And though she knew it took it's hue
From her, it seemed the Lords bequest,-
Still sparkling with the heavenly dew,
And still with heavenly beauty dressed.
Oh roses! We were wondrous fair
That summer by the river side
For hearts We're blooming everywhere,
In sympathy of love and pride,
With that which came to Mildreds care.
And rose as red as rose could be
Filled Philips breast with largest bloom,
And east It's fragrance far and free,
And filled his lonely, silent room
With rapture of paternity!

to be trusted as autobiographical,

tain it IS that Benjamin Disraeli
believed implicitly that they had
done more for him than all other
instrumentalities combined. Truth
is stranger than fiction, and it is
the simple truth that Mrs. Bridges
Wyllyams, of Torquay, Devonshire,
out Of her woman's admiration for
his genius, made him heir to her
estate, worth some $150,000 She
only exacted from him in return
his friendship while she lived, and
promise that she should rest after
death among the Disraeli's at
Hughenden. Nor will it be forgot
ten that to the Queens high per-

Addressing the farmers at Bucking-

trace his path to fame we see stand
ING beside him this enchanting
figure of a faithful wife, nerving
his ambition, soothing his defeats,
and entering with zest into his
ultimately startling triumphs.
The story has often been told of

THE WHEAT CROP.

The August crop reports OF the De-
partment OF Agriculture are so meagre
as to afford no satisfactory basis for an
estimate of the wheat yield Of the year.
The returns up to August LIST report the
condition Of Spring wheat to be 81
against So at the same time last year.
On this numerical scale the condi-
ton of the crop is the same as in
August, 1879, in which year the total
yield Of the country was AS, 1851 SIS
bushels. There is q marked decrease in
the crop of Iowa and Illinois, a slight
falling of in Minnesota, Nebraska, and
California, while there is an in
crease in Wisconsin and all the
New England States. Dakota re-
ports large increase in acreage and a
fair yield. There is nothing in these
statements which would justify the at
tempt to make even an approximate es-
timate OF the probable total yield.
Guess-work and the estimates of specu-
lstors who have their own selfish inter-
ests TO promote still hold the field. The
uoint most important to be determined
ia the amount OF the surplus for export
which will remain after deducting the
number OF bushels required for home
consumption and for seed. The depart
ment reports give little or no assist
ance, but from information gathered
through variety OF channels it is gen.
erslly expected that this surplus will
f.ll much below the SURPRISES o. the last
three years. This decrease in the sup
ply which we can spare on European
demand is accompanied by aproportion-
ate reduction in the amount which
Europe is likely to ask Of Us.
During the year ending June so last,
our export of wheat and -four amounted
To 100 900, 600 bushels, of which l60, 000,-
600 wasshipped from Atlantic ports. The
exports Of the previous year amounted
10 nearly lSO,Ooo,OOO bushels, and
tboss Of 1879 to 100000. The figures
for the present year win be determined
