0nly waiting till the reapers have the last sheaf
gathered home"
So it is in life, when look out into
the great world, with its jar and fret,
its ceaseless toll and longings, | often
wonder how many hearts are at one
moment repeating this refrain; only
waiting, moment by moment, day by
day, year by year, till all Of life's
bright promises are blasted dead about
us; our ideals crumbled into clay; and
yet we still wait by the sullen sea,
with longing eyes, gazing outward for
the expected sail. Will the ship never
come? Patience. God only knows.
The young student and as pirant for
fame bends over his books and papers
while visions of glory and renown blot
out the cheerless to-day, witt its many
cares and solitude. He is waiting for
fame, whose leaden sandals but slowly
travel along life's pathway. Patience,
for yet may be yours the cypress
crown, or wreath of laurels. Yet how
much is contained in that word pa
tience. 1t is grand to be generous to
foe that has fallen. 1t is noble to be
courageous when others shrink and
waver, or turn back, and it is holy to
be charitable to the poor, despised and
unfortunate; yet, among all, how hard
it is to be patient!
There days of deepest sorrow.
In the season of our life,
There are wild. despsiring moments.
There are hours of mortal strife.
There are hours Of stormy anguish.
When the tears refuse to fall;
But the waiting time. my brother,
Il the hardest time of all.
Often we have to persevere when
wind and tide are against us, and our
boat answers not to our guiding hand,
but drifts on, and on, whittier we will
not Hard, indeed, is this waiting,
and often the adverse stroke of fate
wears on the bravest heart before the
harbor IS gained. Did you ever think
Of the great patience Of the lover OF
Rebecca, in the fabulous days of old,
when year by year the flowers
bloomed, the fruit ripened, and the
leaves fell? Yet how patiently he la
bored for the girl he loved, whose life
was to be linked with his own, and in
the end he claimed the fulfllment OF
his dearest hope. Nothing but pa
tience through his long waiting won
him his coveted reward. Then, have
patience, Though your waiting be long
and weary; never despair, for God
thy Father, is watching over you with
the great love he bears for all his chill
dren.
We are waiting. calmly waiting on the battlefield
of strife.
Wssre waiting while drifting down the turhit
stream of life;
We are waiting, calmly waiting. for the boa.,na,
and the tide.
We arc waiting. will be waiting, till we reach tn
other side.

FEW realize the enormous amount of
money annually paid out for pensions,
though the sum in gross has been often
stated. There is not a county in the State
of Illinois that has not its pensioners, and
we believe the smallest number in any
county is nineteen. The total number in
the state is 1860, and they draw annually
pensions amounting to over two millions
of dollars. Indeed, the amount annually
paid in this state, including arrearages, is
over three millions. Illinois has the larg
est number of pensioners of any of the
northwestern tier of states, but the others
follow close behind Indiana has II, 466,
Iowa 10, 925, Michigan II ,46S, Wisconsin
9,126, Kansas 1924, Minnesota 1852, and
Nebraska 2S7. In the whole country
there are 269,s51 persons drawing pen
sions, and the money paid to them
amounts i'll the aggregate to $29, 263, 1853
annually. This is about the sum of the
entire national debt in 1856. OF course
the sum expended will soon reach its
maximum. and then go on decreasing
more and more rapidly rs the survivors of
the war drop off, until there will be COM
paratively few left twenty years hence,
when almost the Youngest man taking part
in the war will be upward of three score.

Mr.. Willard, declares this part of the state

But for nutritious grasses Southern Min

Wheat raising had ''played out" many
years ago in New York. 1t is played

fortunate in having something better to
fall back upon. There may be better corn
countries, but none better for grass.
Southern Minnesota in particular, with
it's great abundance of water, is just as
good for dairying as the country around
Fig in, ILL.,, or the best dairying districts
of Iowa, with the added advantage OF
the superior richness of our grass. We
find that Northern fruits excel those OF
the Middle and Southern States in tho
richness Of their flavor, and doubtless the
same causes will explain the superiority
of our grass. The statements made in
describing our climate, soil and produc
tions-Mr Willard we'll said-need not
be exaggerated, for we cannot exceed the
truth.

portunitics for close observation, thu

Mr.. Dunnell's Opposition.

The opposition to Mr. Dunnell embraces
two distinct elements, those who favor
civil service reform, and free trade, and
another class who are displeased with ap
pointments to office made or not made.
Both elements are seeking captain, and
each look for the man who represents
them. The woods are full of suitable
men for the latter class, but they are la
mentally scarce for the former. Mr.:
Dunnells present strength, as it has been
his past strength, is in that fact. No
man has come into sufficient general
prominence in the district, who is a leader
convictions of duty and right, and broad
opinions on public matters If he exist
at all in the district he has kept his light
shining with sedulous care, under
bushel. But. if Mr.. Dunnell is to be de-
fcatcd at all, if the victory over him is to
be anything more then a virtual defeat, if
the party expects to move forward to the
higher ground, this man must be found
by the opposition, and commissioned as
their Captain. If he cannot be found; if
they are compelled to choose between Mr..
u. and man of no greater caliber; if
the change is to be only one of men, and
none Of methods; if the practices they
reprobate are to be continued and only
ooAHe olHCl ludI uSt tHc pdllOudSc AOl
his own and not the public interests; if
his convictions of the need of his con-
stituents and the country for free trade
are no clearer than Mr.. DunnelIs; if the
fight is to be simply Dunnell and anti
Dunnell,-a mere personal squabble for
the spoils, then the real opposition may
as well go back to their tents, and wait
until taller timber grows.-Cdled0nja dr.
gus.
The above is very sensible and rational
talk, for newspaper which is classed as
antiDunnell. All, but the editor has
ideas, unlike the most of the ants who
publish newspapers, and he gives the only
reasons which any honest man ought to
use in opposing Dunnell Nine-tenths of
the opposition comes from disappointed
Office seekers and their friends. If you
ask any one of these men of their griev-
ance, they will say: Don't like the ap-
pointment of -." In the next breath
they will admit Mr.. DunnelPs intelligence
and more than usual ability. They will
not bring against him single charge OF
corruption in office during his twelve
years of congressional life. You investi
gate the matter further, and you will fine
these men were formerly strong friends
of Dunnel1, but turned against him be
cause he did not regard their wishes il
the appointment of some postmaster OF
route agent. Now, ought the arguments
of a prejudiced, unreasonable, disap
pointed ofice-seeker to have any NOR
weight with the people against Mr.. Dun
nell, than the arguments of the Office
holder in favor of Dunnell. The office
holder may be indebted to the congress
man for his position, but in nine case
out of ten, his support of him will not b.
nearly so unreasonably "subservient," a
the opposition of the sore-head will b.
unreasonably bitter and unjust. Gener
ally speaking, mans friend will not d,
half the energetic work for him that tn
enemy will do against him.

things about the Jews that multitude OF

are temperance and love of home
