One only has need to turn unto the
history of the Roman people to End
much that is odious. for even if they
possessed virtues, they we're of an un-
natural kind-more, indeed, virtues Of
situation and attributable to local re-
suits than because of innate purity of
principle. At first there was frugality,
because Of poverty, but when wealth
came upon the scene, there was luxury.
immortality, injustice and the commits
sion of crime under the garb Of power.
In the course of ages, however, chris
tianty made its appearance and much
that had lent its influence to the cor
ruptien of the nation became a thing
Of the past. And yet, after all,
while it is certainly true that the So
ciety of modern times is as a nation of
sages compared with the pagans, there
is still something which is needed to
harmonic and purify the social circle
Of to-day. Has christianity grown
lukewarm. that immortality is permit
ted to cast its poison in our midst
Behold! Under the imperial purple
the scarlet woman and the adulterer
take sup side by side with the prelate
and the virgin, and bread is broken
and wine is quafed where the liber-
tine breathes out malaris and the has
lot haunts her iodecuicies in the face
of the so-called puritan. Can it be
possible that there is . spirit which
can govern its deluded followers so
that the eyes become blinded and the
forces which should abhor the de-
ceptlve colors of corruption, are dead
ened? Who shrinks from the rich
man because be is a bad man? he
net invited to the marriage feast is
he not made welcome in the sanctuary
Of home is he not wined and dined

Rosseau poured upon him when he is

Even the purest lived, the most

New Wheat Districts.

According TO the Farmer, an extcn-
siye wheat-growing district is about
to be opened up in India The paper
says: The India office Is lending its
sanction just now to an enormous
scheme for the reclamation OF tn"
waste lands Of the Punjauh. The
waters Of the five rivers which
give the name TO that region flow
wastcfully away 30 the sea, leaving a
large tract of desert land. some Of
which was once fertile. 20 be the home
Of nothing and nobody. Those same
rivers are sufficient 10 make that same
desert blossom as a rose. The work
Of cutting canals which would afford
means both for navigation and irriga-
tion would bc enormous; but 50
far is il thought feasible that
the India office has undertaken
to use the canals, paying tolls for its
transit. and to buy theirrigation water,
undertaking on its own account Ia col
lect the water rent from the natives.
Engineering experts declare that the
special work can easily be done, and
reports have been made TO the India
office which show that the land TO be
reclaimed has soil 50 rich in alluvial
deposits from the Himalayas that we
may reasonably anticipate the time
when great region now suffering
only from want of water win become
the great wheat-bearing territory of
India Some portions of the great
doab which II itisproposedt TO reclaim--a
doab of $4,000 square miles in extent
have undoubtedly been both inhab-
tied and highly fertile in their day. In
some places the canal is almost made,
the unused bed os diverted rivers "
ing ready TO be again filed with the
life-giving stream: so that the earlier
portion Of the great work will be COM
paratively easy. But whether easy or
hard the reclamation of $1,000 square
miles of land in an over-populated
country. the irrigation Of tract so
enormous in country visited by fam

cal point Of view, almost oyerweights

The Autumn Wind

Yon maple grove in robes of peerless dyci
The em'rald sweep ON softly siOping hills;
Transparent streamlots swiftly flowing by;
Each later bloouf beside tho placid rills--
And blue domo rounding silently above,
Disclose, in measures moro than wo could
ask,
The perfect manifest of heavens love,
The new accounts from Natures golden
task.
Gliding through this nnblemished autumn
light,
There comes n poet from tho arctic lands;
And though his form can never meet our
sight,
His viewless harp, as swept by cunning
hands,
Now seems to mourn dirge for summers
death,
And now to gayly lead tho harvest songs;
But when the leaflets feel his sudden breath.
They futter down in rainbow shaded
throngs.
Oh valiant northern sprite of autumn wind
love thy music and thy nerving touch;
And when thy monarch, Frost, shall come
and bind
Earth's many forms within his certain
clutch.
Then ringing skate and sloighbells' merry
chime,
And glad huzzas of urchins just from
school,
shall tell the regal pleasures of our cline,
While ancient winter holds his sturdy rule
