This table shows that the farmer lives
over fourteen years longer than the aver
age person. and over twelve years longer
than the class next below him in longey-
ity, and fourteen years longer than the
professional man. But it does not fol-
low that farmers wives and children are
longer lived than those of men of other
callings, for farmers wives are too often
brought under influences tending to
shorten life The science and art of san
itation, which are doing so much to pro-
long human life, should especially
brighten the farmers home. Early
deaths everywhere diminish as the sci
ence of sanitation advances. In Geneva,
Switzerland, the statistics show that the
average length of life in that city in the
sixteenth century was 21.21 years, in
the seventeenth, 1857, in the first hall
of the eighteenth, 25.75, in the last half.
&c. 5, while to-day it is about 43 years.

men study the causes of disease and the
means Of preventing it.-Report Conn.

OUR OWN.

If had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
7 said when you went away,
I.had been more careful darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex "our own"
With look and tone
We may never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give US the kiss OF peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many 60 forth in the morning
That never come home at night!
And hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thoughts for th'
stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest;
But oft for "our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love 'our own" the pest.
Ahl lips with the curve impatient!
Ali brow with that look OF scorn!
'Twere cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of the morn.

to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne, at the
BANQUET of the American Horticultural
Society, in Boston, few weeks ago:
O Painter of the fruit and flowers,
We own Thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands OF ours
Nav share the work of Time.
Apart from Thee we plant in vain
The root and SOW the seed;
Thy early and Thy latter rain,
Thy sun and dew we need
Our toll is sweet with thankfulness,
Our burden is our boon;
The curse of earth's gray morning Is
The blessing of its noon.
Why search the wide world everywhere
For Eden's unknown groundF
The garden of the primal pair
Nav never more be found.
But blest by Thee, our patient toll
Nav right the ancient wrong.
And give to every CLINE anu sui
The beauty lost so long.
Our homestead flowers and fruitful trees
Nav Eden's orchard shame;
We taste the tempting fruits OF these
ike Eve without her blame.
And North and South and East and West
The pride of every zone,
The fairest, rarest, and the best
May all be made our own.
Tt easiest shrines the young world songh'
In hill.grove and in bowers;
The fittest offerings thither brought
We're thy own fruits and flowers.
And still with reverent hands we see
Thy gifts, each year renewed;
Thy good is always beautiful,
The beautiful is good.
