A LAND WITHOUT RUINS.
By FATHER RYAN,

Yes, give me the land where the ruins are spread,
And the living tread light on the hearts Of the dead;
Yes give me land that is blest by the dust,
And bright with the deeds of the downtrodden just.
Yes, give me land where the battles red blast
Has flashed in the future the fame of the past;
Yes, give me . land that has legends and lays,
That tell Of the memories Of long vanished days;
Yes, give me land that hath story and song!
EnFhrine the strife OF the right with the wron j.!
Yes, give me o land with grave in each spot,
And names in the graves that shall not be forgot;
Yes, give me the land of the wreck and the tomb,
There is grandeur in gravesthere glory in gloom;
For out Of the gloom future brightness is born,
As after the night comes the sunrise Of morn;
And the graves of the dead with the grass
May yet form the footstool of Lberty's throne.
And each single wreck In the war path of might
Shall yet be rock in the temple OF right.

LOSSES OF BRITISH FARMERS.

A statement has recently been COM
piled from the agricultural reports Of
England. showing the falling off in live
stock in the last 13 years. The figures
of this statement says the New York
Times, have an interest for stock breed
ers and shippers in this country quite
as direct as reports of the condition and
prospects of English wheat-growing have
for the farmers of the northwest. The
disheartening and even startling fact
shown is that with 10 per cent. more
land now devoted to fodder crops than
in 1868, the amount of stock kept is 8
per cent. less. The tables show that in
England the falling off in sheep is equal
to 5, 548, 900 head, or 26 per cent. in the
10 years from 1868 to 1881; in Ireland,
1864, 900 head, or 80 per cent; in Scot
land, 381 900 head, OF per cent, or in
the United Kingdom, 7,712, 900 head, or
over 21 per cent. This is an extraor-
dinary decrease, but there has been a
slight compensating increase in the
number of cattle, amounting to $50, 900
head, or 10 per cent. for England, and
$4,000 head, or 9 per cent, for the
United Kingdom. But to make fair
comparison, both kinds of stock are re-
duced to one term, each head is reck-
oned as equal to six sheep. The COM
bined decrease in the 13 years is thus
found to be from 90,106,00 head to
81, 1926, 900 head, or 8 per cent. in the
whole kingdom. The loss in England
alone is over 7 per cent; indeed, in all
these comparisons it is England alone
which makes the worst showing. The
money value of this live stock which has
disappeared, being equal to 2.78O, 900
head of sheep, estimated at e2 los. per
head-not high price for mutton sheep
which sell for Is. pound in their wool
lis e6, 950,00O. For England alone the
loss was much greater, being 8,288, 900
head, money loss Of 9S, $4,000, which
represents so much farmers capital in
cattle and sheep alone which has been
obliterated in the period of 13 years. -
If, meanwhile, there had been de-
crease in the cultivated acreage, this
falling off could be easily accounted for.
But in these ID years there was an actual
increase in the breadth of land under
permanent pasture, clover, grass, green
crops and roots in the United Kingdom
from 81 ,135, 900 acres to 81, 512, 900, OF
10 per cent.

Uruguayan Brutality.


The most serious question pending is
that with the Empire Of Brazil. A large
portion Of the population of the frontier
of this country are composed of Bra
lillian citizens-a laborious and peace
able people engaged in the care of
numerous herds of cattle and aocks of
sheep, pertaining to the rich Brazilian
farmers who are the principal large land
owners at the north of the republic.
In the early part of last year portion
of the second battalion of infantry, un-
der the command of Joaquin Santos, a
brother of the then minister of war and
now president of the republic. General
Maximo Santos, was ordered to the de.
partment of Tacuarambo, which is prin-
cipally peopled by Brazilian subjects.
Numerous recruiting parties were sent
out in various directions and the game
proved GEOGRAPHICALLY Brazilians
were brought compulsorily to the camp.
Nothing was then known publicly of the
terrible method adopted to compel them
to serve in the army of this so-called re-
public. ''Mu1der will out !" The last
memorial OF the Brazilian Minister of
Foreign Affairs to the legislative body
presents the authorities of this country
in q very unenviable light. The testi-
mony is there published intact relative
to the martyrdom suffered by those poor
Brazilians. The captives protested their
nationality and objected to the forcible
service. It was requisite that an exam
pie be made by their brutal captors in
order to territy them. Five of the most
obstinate were condemned by the voice
alone OF the commandante to be beaten
to death. The battalion was formed in a
square in the open ca,np and the COM
mander distributed with his own hands
the requisite instruments of torture, con-
sisting of branches of the ounce tree,
accompanied with the remark "oh0r0 le
v0y na0str0r Ell naod0 de neatar"-
am going to show you the method to
kill calling for q matt and coolly suck.
ing it while he gave his orders to pro-
ceed with the execution. The poor
Brazilians soon succumbed to the terri
ble blows, failing to the ground with
/ their heads pounded to jelly, their eyes
forced out of their sockets, and were
finally exterminated by an order to cut
their throats. All this is conclusively
