down, but turning to his enemies he said, "rhe
day will come when you will be glad to hear
me" saying which has been literally fulfilled,
for he squarely met his opposers, and put them
to flight. HISTORIAN Gladstone, for time re
tired before him. And at the time of his DEATH
which recently occurred, this Jcw, this Jec,
known all over the world, was regarded as one of
the foremost statesmen IN Europe.
A we compare the lives Of the rich and poor,
We are brought 10 the conclusion that they
who are the so-calcd "lucky ones" have com
menced life at the foot Of the ladder, while those
who entered upon life, being lifted almost TO the
ladders top, have generally ended life at its bot
tom The proverb, that erich young men, who
begin their fortunes where their fathers left of,
leave of where their fathers began" indicates,
that the only wealth which really does man
good, Is that for which he has toied. Inherited
riches, in most cases tend To aZiness acquired
riches, as rule, lead to activity.
Who are they that are numbered among the
wise. aud teach men of "the good the true and
the beautiful? Who are the men that largely
benefit the world That go through life scat
tering blessings along the way, and who though
dead are never forgotten Who are the stars
that so brilliantly shine in the intellectual rma-
ment? Who are they that penetrate the ocean S
depths, and bring up unknown treasures, or
pierce the boundess space, and tell of unseen
worlds Who are the men that Thrill, and
move mankind by their wonderful achievements?
Are they the sons of so.called noble blood, who

way through life has been made smooth, and
who never know of want or toll? Nay, but in
tho great majority of cases they have been men
OF lowly birth; whose early days were shrouded
in obscurity and poverty; who boldly plunged
into the deep darkness without lamp or guide :;
men who largely have been compelled to rely ON
themselves Was ii not Columbus who gave
the world new continent? And kepler who
discovered the laws of the planets and stars =
And Luther who split IN pieces the Romish
church? And Clarkson who destroyed the slave
trade? And Webster who always defended the
Constitution? These, and the great mass of our
other honored men, were the sons of poverty,
who by toll, and perseverance, and seli.reliance
have made posterity call them "bessed."-
Therefore, in lite's battles, trust in God, and
fight in the front ranks. Makeyour own paths
do the greater part of your thinking; nobly bear
your own burdens; ask assistance of no man, if
it is possible to do without it, and may the
ringing words of SAKE be your metto:
I'm battle or business, whatever the game,
In law, or in love, it is ever the same;
In the struggle for power, scramble for pelf
Let this be your motto, Rely on yourself"
Then, whether the prize be a ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who can go it alone"

a woodpecker's hole is such very con

birds are glad to find one unoccupied Some
times a pair of wrens will watch the motion
Of the woodpeckers while they are at work,
until an unfinished hole is left uneuarled,
when they will take possession oft AS soon
as the lawful owners rethm the thieves are
driven Off but they are SO persistent and
troublesome that, although n woodpecker is
larger and stronger than twenty wrens, the
owners sometimes abandon the place, and
make new nest Still, the Wrens are not
always allowed To keep the house they have
stolen, for the blue birds are equally covet-
Gus of it, and sometimes fight tiercely with
the w:cns in THAR attempts 10 gain pos
session oft Occasionally, both wrens and
blue birds are driven away by the martins,
for these birds also prize woodpeckers holes
very highly The fierce battle between these
various birds over an abandoned hole are
very amusing; and often last several days,
for they all are very obstinate birds, and as

Mr. JOHN +. MARSHALL:
mar Mr'-Ihis is TO certify that have used the
Poppcin Slicatcd Phosphate bought of Won for
two years past ON my entire range of truck and
the results have been highly. satisfactory II Is
decidedly the best fertilizer | ever used and /
have used several standard brands. havctested
1t beside good compost from my hCn-hOusc and
find where used the POppcin my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes, bear
much longer, ana the fruit is OF n superior uuali-
ty. Where used ii on cabbage they were twice
us large MS where there was none put. Another
good thing can say IN favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant on seed. This have tried to perfection.

son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
