The Spirit of the MetrOpolis.

Who knows most of New York loves it
best, Not the most of any one side of its
life, but all of its life. There ia much in ii
TO mourn over, much to arouse anxiety, and
very much more to give profound sorrow.
Its political history is not the most savory,
and its record Of crime is appalling. The
writer promises TO show at some near future
time, however, that even tho wickedness OF
New York, incomprehensible as il may seem,
will shrivel in comparison with that of some
of the small and so-called moral cities Of the
country. Nothing is SO easily overlooked as
the proportions of thing in comparison
with other things. The old city lies deep
in her iniquities, but she is an immense
city, and her charities LOOM. Her spirit ID
one of sympathy. The whole world runs in
through her ever-open gates, and her heart
in turn goes out everywhere. AS the features
of the city are cosmopolitan, so is her com
passion. When the bricks of Chicago
crumbled, end her granite palaces melted
like snow in the flames OF a blowpipe, then
our city wept, and her expressions OF sympa
thy flew westward, before the smoke of dis
aster had lifted. When the fierce heats Of
fever scorched the terror-stricken city o.
Memphis, the pulse of New York ran up il
sympathy, and aid without stiut was Law
ished. Brave men went down to still thu
rawlings OF the frantic, and to cool the flesl
afame. They died. No one grudged tn,
sacrifice. Humanity is one New Yorl
sent bread to starving Ireland, and had I
pity so acute that all Great Britain wondered
The fires OF Michigan awaken the old feel
ing, and the city gives its gold, makes prac
tical use of its emblems OF mourning, ant
turns its own badges of sorrow into chee
for others. Purses for presidents, and fol-
tunes for the widow Of the nations beloved
The flame that shot up in far-oif Vienn

The Island OF Jersey.

A great many laundering statements re-
garding the size, population, etc., of the
Island of Jersey are circulating in the ag-
ricultural press, most of them greatly un-
derstating the size, and thus giving the idea
of much denser population than really
exists. We will give the facts from the last
edition QSsO of Chambers Encyclopedias
The extreme length of the island is twelve
miles, average ten miles. The breadth is
from six to seven miles, and the area sixty
two square miles. The number of acres in
cultivation is about 10000. The entire
population (varying not 80 much as a thou
sand in thirty years) is between fifty-six and
fifty-seven thousand, but of these at the last
census 30,756 were In the city of st
Heliers. This leaves the rural population
about one and one.fourth to each acre il
cultivation. The number of cattle is main
tanned at about 10000, with an annual ex
portation of about 1000. 1t will thus b.
seen that Jersey is about as large as Crane
Isle and North Hero together. Small farm
we'll titled would soon bring up our beauti
full island county to the population and
productiveness of Jersey, which is, beside
its dairies, renowned also for its larg,
| product of choice fruits.

age with love and hope, will, under the
worst misfortunes, cling to and shield, no
matter how great the agony, those committed
TO their care, and for whose peace and COM
fort they are held responsible. With these
supports they can and will meet any trial
bravely, and conquer in the end, because
hope held them steadfast and strong. They
have their appointed work to do, and though
for time it may seem all broken and un-

Going Home Tomorrow.

Most Of the village had gathered at the
funeral of delicate, refined young woman.
She had been i'll for months with consump-
ton, which she had bravely fought, but at
last had given up the conflict. She had
shown strong Christian faith, in the full
belief that she was about to die. When the
solemn time came to her, she was radiant
with peace, heavens own peace. At the
gathering of her friends about her, after
life's light went out, all faces looked gloomy
as despair, though the tender tones of the
pastors voice spoke words of peace aud
hope, and he read triumphant assurances
from Jesus Sacred Classics" as the Chi
nese call the New Testament. The pastor
dwelt upon the symmetry and beauty and
excellence Of the life Just quenched Of her
full assurance OF faith, Of the months of
weakness and weariness and suffering she
had passed through said these were now
ended, and she whose lovely, lifeless body
lay there before us was at rest in the bliss.
full home above. But with all these words
OF cheer, an unusual gloom seemed TO rest
upon all present, as if they themselves were
upon the verge Of the valley of the shadow
| OF death, without one ray of hope beyond
it. Meanwhile one restless little boy Of five
roamed quietly about the rooms, looking in
quiringly and sadly into our faces. Pre-
sently the hymn was read by the pastor
"We are going home tomorrow" The ef
| feet of the words and the music upon thi
little rover was magical. He stood perfectly
still and his face fairly beamed with happi
ness. All through the singing he looked a
if he appreciated the joy Of going hom,
and could hardly restrain his emotions o
happiness. Twas picture many of thos
present will never forget, and lesson, too
that went to the heart. If, as we believe
"Dying is but going home," should we no

dolefully dismal and hopeless. Whilst W

AN exchange says that Colonel Robert
Holloway, Alexis, Illinois, charges that
"hundreds Of worthless and refuse grade
horses have been brought from Canada to
the states during the year and "palmed of
as pure blood Clydesdales." All of which
only shows what fools these thoroughbred u
fellows make of themselves. They are al
the time offering their thoroughbred stall
ions to cross on the common stock to i'm
prove them, and then they turn around and
tell buyers that the colts so bred are worth
less and refuse grades" We have owned
two of these Clydesdale grades, and we ash

Hone On...HOpe Ever,

Life is 80 full of vicissitudes Changes Of
every description come upon us without a
moments warning, Few could endure lifes
burdens, which are inevitable, were it not
for hope, that hope which will not die out of
the heart, but springs up with renewed vigor
when trials come heavy enough, apparently,
to crush it past resurrection. What a life
that must be where hope wells her face and
departs. In some of the darkest trials,
when heart and flesh begin to fail, ray OF
hope and comfort may pierce the gloom, and
the aching heart reaches out after it, and by
touching it gathers a little strength that
serves to hold back the threatening destruc-
ton. That slight hold gives moments
time for reflection, showing the sufferer that
the future may have still some good in
store.

A HORSE has small stomach, which
needs to be supplied often and in small
quantities. The cows stomach, on the con
trary, is large and complicated, and capable
of storing large quantities of food. Hence
frequent feeding is unnecessary, and is very
likely to cause indigestion. Pigs, again
do better if fed as often as three or foui
times a day.

when tides have to their lowest ebbed,
Then they begin TO flow;
The trees thai winters winds have stripped

One glimmering ray of hope, scarcely WIS.,
ible through the darkest clouds, has often
wonderful power, and if gratefully cherished
will grow brighter and more potent the
closer those in trouble cling to it. Some
times almost obscured it may be by some
additional strain but its light is never de-
stroyed unless the worn and suffering turn
from it in despair. Men engaged in large
mercantile or commercial operations too Of
ten find they have embarked on a treacher-
GUS ocean. Adverse winds are driving them
upon the rocks or among the breakers. All
courage and fortitude forsake them. They
see only ruin and lowest poverty before
themselves and their families. Having tas-
ted of the pleasures that riches can bring,
and forgotten the long struggle before they

"curse God and die" They look only at
the ruin and disaster. They will not turn
TO where small spark of hope is waiting
for recognition. These are the persons who
seek peace in suicide-the towards folly.
They shrink from adversely, and will not
find the hopefulness that would guide them
back to comfort and success. 1t is often the

GRATITUDE is the dew that moistens and
nourishes all the plants in the garden of
piety. The moment that the earth refuses
to send forth its hidden moisture, which re-
turns in dew and rain, that moment the
trees and fruits begin to lose their stores of
refreshment, and must soon wither. In like
manner, ingratitude will make our very
blessings begin to parch and soon become
dry and unfaithful.-W Watson.

BEAUTY is akin to joy, and the beauty
of heavenly things has the same effect Of
making us unworldly. Much of worldli-
ness consists in mental and moral atmos-
phere; and the beauty of divine things,
bringing with them their own especial joy,
surrounds us with a supernatural atmos-
phere, which assimilates our inward life to
itself after a time.-Faber.

The rivalry of nations, which becomes
more intense every year and challenges their

led exclusively by the educated classes the

nation will win whose masses take the

THE suggestion has been made, and 1t
must be commended as a thoroughly good

for permanent north and south line. This
would be of great assistance in all future
surveys, and save great deal of trouble and
expense in fixing boundary lines.

And now while the bright years roll,
In beauty and grace thou shalt grow.
Then as the sound of lamentation came
up from the earth-world over the little one
lost to sight, the angels sang again;
In the world OF care and pain,
Lord thou woud'si no longer leave her;
To the sunny, heavenly plain
Thou dost now with Joy receive her;
Clothed In robes OF spotless white,
Now she dwells with thee in light,
Like an answer to their song came prayer
from the bleeding hearts, which Christ and

All, Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where she lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures
That her heavenly food ara giving;
Then the gain Of death we prove,
Though thou take what most we love.
