ANGUS MACDONALD'S FARM.
He Sells it Once and is Sorry, He Sells
it Again and Is Very Sorry.
lGuelph Herald.

IGuelph Herald.
Angus Macdonald was farmer from Char
lotteburg, county Glengarry VIII, arrived in
! Winnipeg recently. Angus, in his own esti-
nation and in the estimation of his friends,
was shrewd man. He was hardly in the
place before an old acquaintance of his ran
up against him, slapped him on the back in
friendly way and said
Pm glad you've come up. l was just 60
ing to send for you" After their greeting, he
continued: BY the way, Angus, you own a
farm out near Mennedosa ?'
eyes"
"How much will you take for it -
Il don't know" said Angus. Il thought of
settling on it myself"
"Well, tell you what; I'll give You $4,000
for it."
Angus thought before leaving Glengarry
that if he got $4,000 for it he would be doing
well, but he was now in the land of booms
and he asked $4,000 for it.
"Well, here's $50 on the bargain, and We'll
sign the papers tomorrow" And the pur-
chasher rushed off.
Before two hours had passed Angus ran
against another old acquaintance.
Glad to see you, Angus; glad You came
up. There's a splendid chance for you. BY
the way, [ see you registered as owning q
farm near Mennedosa. How much do you
want for that farm?'
1--WE just sold it," said Angus.
How much did he give you?"
six thousand five hundred dollars
"The dickens he did. Why, I'll give you
$4,000 for it. You go to the purchaser get
him to release you, and I'll give You the
$4,000"
Angus wished that he was back in st.
Raphaels or anywhere else, since he had
made such a fool of himself. However, all
he could do was to try and get the farm back.
So who does he run across within fifteen
minutes but purchaser No. 1.
Says Angus: "I'm sorry l sold you my
farm. I'd like to get it back. Here's your
$50, and we'll be where we Were"
"Oh, can't do that. | bought a farm and
will have the papers ready Tomorrow
After further higgling, Angus offered him
$500 to break the bargain.
With great leluctance the first purchaser
tooh the $5OO-1O0 new S. bills Of the Bank
of Montreal-and gave back to Angus the
temporary agreement of sale.
Angus was happy again and set out to find
buyer No. 2.
He found him not No. | and No. 2 were
pal confidence men. Angus was the sucker
from Ontario, and $3.50 was the net amount
that they stung him for.

Savings of Talleyrand.

The rich man despises those who fattel
him too much, and hates those who do not
fatteI him at all. The imagination of men
is often the refuge of their prejudices. That
sovereign has little mind who seeks to &C
down to posterity by means of great public
buildings 1t is to confde to masons and
bricklayers the task of writing history. The
love of glory can only create hero; the
contempt of it creates man. The errors Of
great men and the good deeds of reprobates
should not be reckoned in our estimates OF
their respective characters. Too much sensi
bility creates unhappiness; too much insensi-
bility creates crime

KEEP NOTHING FROM MOTHER

They sat at the spinning together,
And they spun the tine white thread
One face was old and the other young
A golden and silver head.
At times the young voice broke in song
That was wonderfully sweet,
And the mothers heart beat deep and calm,
Her joy was most complete.
There was many a holy lesson,
Inwoven with silent prayer,
Taught to her gentle listening child,
AS they sat spinning there.
and of all that l speak, my darling,
From older head and heart,
God giveth me one last thing to say,
With it thou shalt not part
Thou wilt listen to many voices
And oh that these must be-
The voice of praise, the voice of love,
And voice of flattery.
But listen 10 me, my little one,
There's one thing thou shalt fear.
Let ne'cr n word to my love be said
Her mother may not hear.
No matter how true, my darling one,
The words may seem to thee,
They are not fit for my child to hear
If not indeed for me.
III tnOu IL ever Keep tny young uShIt PoIc'
Thy mothers heart from fear.
Bring all that is told thee by day
At night to u mothers car"
As thus they sal spinning together,
An angel bent to see
The mother and child whose happy life
Went on so lovingly.
4 record was made by his golden pen;
This on his page he said:
The mother who counseled ner child SO well
Need never feel afraid.
For God would keep the heart Of the child
With tender love and fear,
Who lisps at her mothers side AT night
All TO her mothers ear.

WHAT TINE Is IT.

What time Is 1t"
Time to do well;
Time to live better;
Give UP that grudgei
Answer that letter;
Spcnk that kind word to sweeten Il sorrow,
DO that good deed you would leave TILL tomorrow
Time to try hard
In that situation;
Time to build up on
4 solid foundation;
Giving up necdlessly changing and drifting
Leaving The uuicksands that ever are shifting
What time is it?
Time to be thrifty
Farmer, take warning.
Plow in the spring time,
Sow in the morning;
Spring II in is coming, zephyrs are blowing,
Heaven will attend to the Qulckenlng '.hu growing
Time to count cost
Lessen expenses;
Tine to look well
Tothe gates and fences; .
Making and mending, as good workers shouio'
shutting out evil and keeping the good
What time is it?
Time to be earnest,
Laying up treasure;
Time to be thoughtful,
Choosing true pleasure.
Loving stern justice, of truth being 1ond'
Making your word just good as your oond.
Time to be happy,
Doing your best
Time to be trustiul,
Leaving the rest

Ne'er can we call back one minute of time

THIS DEGENERATE AGE.
From the Century.

From the Century.
N.! chose days have gone forever, with their
splendid fire and fever,
And their lofty scorn of living, and their quench-
less thirst of fume!
When faith and beauty filled them, and when love
and glory thrilled them, 49, 49,
And the sacred light OF Honor LED them IKE MI
ting Flame!
And the minstrcls nder-hearted, they are silent
and departed,
With their alnatory music, once SO delicate ana
sweet;
Now we never sigh to hear them, but we fly them
and we fear them
Grinding melancholy organs on the corners OF the
street.
Gone the Pirate and the Sea King, ana bucchileer
and Viking;
Furled the banner of the Rover, hushed his cam
mons heavy roar;
And the only "Reminiscences Of his nautical exis-
tCncc
Is tho banging of the big drum in the play of
'PinafOre
Gone $ the glamour and the glory of the knights
of song and story,
With their love and high endeavor, aid their noble
deeds and aims!
of heroic deeds behind us, now there's nothing to
remind us
But the Solitary IIorscman in the narrative of
James!
Yes, the Knights so celebrated, in these days de-
generated -.
Would-be msdmen or marauders-we would rldl-
And the Pirate of the shipping would be hanged,
or get whipping,
And the Troubadours be prsoned under local
vagrant laws
Now the soul that scornS to grove, can but revcl
in the novel
Of Sir Walter Scott Bulwer, on the days OF long
ago
And of Brian de Bourdeon, and fmighty Ceur de
Lion,
And of LauncelOt and Arthur, and immortal IVAN
hoe.
For the prosy and pcdantic have eXtinguished the
romantic,
And the pomp and pride of cllivalry are driven
from the stage;
All is now faint and tender that the world has
lost its gender
And the cncrvate HIsthete is the model of the Age

Many persons have a very foolish and un-
called-for objection to hair in piece of
butter. For our part, we revel in the dis
covery, and visions of the dishevelled maiden
with her rosy cheeks at the churn float be-
fore our eyes There is still greater conso-
lation in finding hair in the butter. It's
presence is solemn proof that the COM
pound is not eleomargarine.
