The fret essential TO success on n
farm is judicious economy. Some
one says, "Wealth is the proportion
Of income 70 outgo." 1t is not pos
sible by ordinary methods to make
farm produce more than given
quantity. The man whose wealth
increases makes his wastes and leaks
50 small that his outgo is less than
his income.

1t is not economical TO have poor

1t is not economical to have poor

1t is not economical 70 have poor

Sometimes it is not economical TO
do much work yourself
Economy should, more than any
thing else, be mixed with brains.

CHILDREN.-Let them haye as many

ber oil the family, and the suppressed
wish 10 do other things breaks out, it is
called temper, or bad disposition, and
is puplshod accordingly. We hear
good deal about the plastic minds OF
children; Of the powers which their
faculty OF imitation eudows them with
and many of the things we hear are
true; so it seems reasonable that II
parents ard older brothers aud sisters
respect the rights Of the younger ones,
needed lesson is taught, az ] they in
turn respect the rights Of others, be-
cause they haye learned what it is to
enjoy privileges. When young chill
dren understand that in one sense the
members Of the household are on
common level, that each must cooper
ate with the others, a great point Is
gained in their education.

the papers OF the last thirty years ?
They Will undoubtedly Improve. They
ave a rapidly growing power. Their in-
fuence was never greater that it IS to-
day. They mould public opinion. They
make aid unnake cur rules 10 a large
extent. They shape and enforce our
laws. They are the terror OF eNil-doers
and the guardians Of the public interest.
Their watchfulness excels official zeal.
They give tone to the communities in
which they are published, each accord
ing to the measure Of lis ability and
standard. In this free land their pow er
is greater Tran that OF the King 10 bis
dominions, and more stable. They
reach every nook and corner OF the
land, cheering the lonely, upholdlng
the weak. advising The strong, helping
all. A tremendous power indeed.
How they smite the wrong aud uphold
the right! Tie press Of the country is
incorrupiible. Ii is honest, indepen'
dent and unpurchasable. Ohice-holders
may fail in discharge Of duty, and con-
crosses and legislatures may so asiray'
but the independent press remains a

Stood the beautiful gates ajar !
"Aud the key for no further using,
To my blessed Son shall be given"
Said Mary, Neither of Jesus

But may catch the glory afar,
Since safe in the Lord Christ's bosom
Are the keys Of the gates ajar;
Close hid in the dear Christ's bosom,
