The king may rule DER land and sea,
The lord may live right royalty,
The soldier ride in pomp and pride,
The sailor roam DER ocean wide,
But this, or that, whate'er befall,
The Farmer he must feed them all.
The writer thinks, the poet sings,
The craftsmen fashion wondrous things,
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads,
The miner follows the precious leads,
But this, or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer must feed them all.
III.
The merchant may buy and sell,
The teacher do his duty we'll,
But men may toll through busy days,
Or men may stroll through pleasant ways,
From King to beggar whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The farmers trade is one of worth
He's partner with the sky and earth,
He's partner with the sun and rain,
And no man loses for his gain,
And men may rise and men may fall,
But the Farmer he must feed them all.
V.
The Farmer dares his mind to speak,
He has no gift or place to seek,
To no man living need he bow;
The man that walks behind the plough
Is his own master, whatever befall,
And king or beggar he feeds usall.
VI.
God bless the man who sows the wheat
Who finds us milk, and fruit and meat;
Nay his purse be heavy, his heart be light,
His cattle, his corn, and all, go right,
God bless the seeds his hands let fall,
For the Farmer he must feed us all.

Died, February 4th, at her home in Peters
burg, Va. Miss ADA BOND in the 54th year of
her age
There is vacant seat in our sanctuary. A
gentle loving Christian woman worships with
us no more. A face that had always bright
smile; hand that gave ever a warm grasp;
heart that responded with sympathy to every
call of suffering and sorrow; life that was red
olent with the graces of the Holy Spirit-these
are the treasures that have gone from our grasp
We miss her at the Sabbath services and at the
prayer meeting. We miss her in the Sabbath
School where she loved to teach. We miss her
by the bedside of the sick and the suffering,
where her tender ministry brought soothing to
many an aching head and comfort to many a
troubled heart. We miss her in that home of
which her sunny spirit was the light, where
even the little children loved her, and all hearts
are disconsolate for her loss. But she has gone
to the Saviour whom she loved; to the heaven
for which she longed to the company of dear
ones who have passed on before. She had no
fear of death. For years she had lived in Gaily
readiness for it. Her lamp was trimmed. Her
loins were girded. She has entered in with the
Bridegroom to the marriage feast.

GOOD COFFEE,

GOOD COFFEE,
Everybody wants it, but very few get 1t,
because most people do not know how to
select coffee, or it is spoiled in the roasting
or making. To ohviate these difficulties
has been our study. Thurber's package
coffees are selected by an expert who UNI
derstands the art of blending various fla
vors. They are roasted in the most perfect
manner dt is impossible to roast well in
small quantities., then put in pound pack
ages (in the bean, not 0rO,u,d) bearing our
signature as a guarantee of genuineness,
and each package contains tho Thurber
recipe for making good Coffee. We pack
two kinds, Thurber's mo. a." strong
and pungent; Thurbers mo. A." mild
and rich. One or the other will suit every
taste. They have the three great points,
good quality, hOnest quantity, reasonable
price. Ask your Grocer for Thluber's
roasted C9Gee az pound packages, mo. 34'
or "No. H." Do not be put off with any
other kind-your own palate will tell you
what is best.
Where persons desire it, we also furnish
the "IdeaP' Coffee-pot, the simplest, best
and cheapest coffee-pot in existence.
Grocers who sell our Coffee keep them.
Ask for descriptive circular.
