We desire to impress upon every farmer. and
every citizen OF the town, the importance Of
planting trees. Put out the best trees, both
fruit and forest. if you can afford to purchase
them; il not, set out those which are easily
and chesply obtained. At all events set
out trees. and care Tor them. They vii, be
growing while you are sleeping, and but a

10 enjoy their grateful shade and perhaps
th-ir health giving fruits. While on this

in regard to planting shade trees In the

cation for showing the effects of tree culture

THE SPRING DRIVE.

p. Montgomery writes to the Kansas Ci'y'
Indicator, from San Antonis, On the pros
pect OF the cattle drive from Texas to Kan
sas the coming season. He says: Since my
arrival here have had the pleasure Of meet
ing several Of the most prominent cattle
rais.,r and drovers from the south western
portion Of the State, = msiority OF whom
seem to think the drive will exceed that Of
last season, and give a. reason far 1t the
high prices that are being paid for young
steer, inducing miny TO sell, who in later
ye.rs held their young steers until mstured.
Stock are in better flesh than l have seen
them for years past and should the weather
remain mild and spring open up favorably,
We can safely look for this years drive to b
superior in flesh to those Of the past four OF
Eve wears. There are several Of our northern

THE LAST HYMN.
BY MARIANNE BIRMINGHAM.

THE LAST HMM,
BY MARIANNE BIRMINGHAM.
TIE Sabbath Day was ending, in the village BY
the sea,
The uttered benediction touched the people ten
Derby.
And they rose to face the sunset in the glowing,
lighted west.
And then hastened to their dwellings for Gods
blessed boon OF rest.
But they looked across the waters, and storm
was raging there;
A fierce spirit moved above them-the wild spirit
Of the air
they Numbered, groaned and doomed,
And alas for any vessel in their yawnins guifs
entombedi
Very anxious were the people on that rocky
coast OF Wales,
Lest the dawns OF coming morrows should be
telling awful tales,
When the sea hsd spent its passion and should
cast upon the shore
Bits OF wreck and swollen victims, as 1t had
done heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her,
brave woman strained her eyes,
And she saw along the billsws large vessel fall
and rise.
Oh, il did not need 4 prophet to tell what the
end must be,
For no ship could ride in safety near that shore
on such q sea.
Then the plying people hurried from theu
homes and thronged the beach.
oh! for power to cross the waters and the per
ishing to reach!
Ue,pi,ss hands were wrung for sorrow. tende
hearts grew cold with dread,
And the ship, urged by the tempest, to the fats
rock-shore sped.
..she has parted IN the middle! Oh. the hall o
her goes down!
| God have mercyl Is heaven far to seek 70
those who drowny'
10, when neat the white shocked faces locke
with terror on the sea.
Only one last clinging figure on the spar wa
seen to be.
Nearer the trembling watchers came the wrec
tossed by the wave.
And the man still chung aud fosted. though n
power on earth could save.
Gould We send him short message! Here's
trumpet. Shout awayi"
Twas the preachers hand that took it, and
wondered what to say.
ANY memory Of his sermon: Firstly? Second!
An, no!
There was but one thing to utter in the awt'
hour OF woe;
So he shouted through the trumpet: LOOK
Jesusl Can you hear.'
: And 'Ay, ay, sir" rang the answer, over Il
waters, loud and clear.
; Then they listened. He is singing, Jesus, low
, OF my soul!'
4 And the winds brought back the echo. "whi
the nearer waters roll"
Strange, indeed. 1t was to hear him, It'll
storm of life was past"
Singing bravely from the waters. ''Oh. recei
n my soul at last!'
e lie could have no other refuge. Hangs n
, helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not" The singer dropp
at last into the sea.
. And the watchers, looking homeward throui
= their ewes with tears made dim.

TwINKLfSG oP THE SrAns.-A few
years ago NJ. Montigny called attention
TO the fact that the scint.llAtioa OF stars
is considerably increased during the
aurora borellis. Further data on this
subject are afforded in recent Issue Of
the bulletin OF the Belgian Academy.
Among other things he has observed
that the phenomena is more pronounced
in winter than in summer, and that
stars in the northern region show the
increased scintillaiion most. The au-
thor's general conclusion is that the
effect is not due TO direc. influence Of
electromagnetic light of aurora on scin-
tillation itself, but TO disturbances prob
ably eooling) which comedies with
the appearance OF aurora in the upper

Earthanakes In Lanan.

For 3 number Of years Professor
Milne has made systematic study Of
the earthquakes OF japan. BY a plan
of distributing postal cards to import
ant cities for weekly report Of shocks,
he has obtained a record OF large
number of earthquakes for 3 very con-
siderable extent of territory. These re-
ports are of great value in enabling him
to compute the source and extent OF
earthquakes. His catalogue for Hako-
date, in Yezo. shows forty-two earth
quakes in the period from 1876 to 1880.
Comparison with the catalogue for an
other place showed that ten at least Of
the Hakodate shocks were felt at Sap
poro, eighty miles TO the northeast, in
the same island; and It was similarly
shown that seven Of the shocks were
felt at Toxic, 500 miles 10 the south.
One interesting result of these observa.
tions is the discovery that earthquakes
seldom pass the barrier OF mountain
ranges. Mr.. Milne has estimated that
Q distribution OF instruments of orii-
nary sensitivensss throughout Japan
would record at least 1.o00 shocks per
year, or about three per day. which Is
. number greater than that obtained
by Professor Helm for the whole world.

Restored TO Reason.

1t was September, and thro ugh the
lovely Kentish roads, from Wester ham
far away to the seashore, tramped par
ties of hop-pickers.
Among these was party Of three, a
man and woman, and a girl OF about
eighteen. Though the moon had been
up two hours they yet trudged on,
weary.footed needless, except the
girl, OF the beauties around them she,
occasionally lifting her head, seemed
TO drink in the sweet scents floating in
the air.
Hating and raising her arms above
her head as for relief from the fatigue
expressing her, she said It's been

she asked.
"Not by FIVE miles. Come along,
thought you vas tired"
The silence which again fell on the
tramps was next broken by the beat of
horses hoofs coming rapidly along q
side road. Before they were aware the
rider had dashed round the corner and
was upOn them. The tramps sprang to
the hedge, but before the girl could
follow their example the horse had
struck her, and che staggered and
nearly fell.
