WE wish the farmers much Joy in
the foreign element they are introducing.
while there are plenty of young men and
boys of American persuasion, who. with
the prospect of decent wages. would be
glad to work on farms instead of being
forced to go abroad to find work. The
money used in bringing the Swedes
here. added to the wages paid for ineffi-
cient help, if offered to our boys, would
be sufficient inducement to keep them
on the farms, besides saving many of
them from going to the bad.
The above. from a Bridport cores
pondent, is scarcely a fair statement of
the ease. In the first place. it may
be questioned whether there are a
sufficient number of American young
men and boys in the county to do the
work OH the farms, even could they Sc
cure ''decent wages For several years
past farmers have had the greatest diff
jiculty in procuring help of any sort, and
it has become a matter of necessity to
obtain foreigners. Farming, like other
kinds of business. must be conducted on
business principles and only such wages
can be paid as the returns from the farm
wilI warrant. If there are not men to be
had at living rates, the farmers are GER
1ainly justified in importing laborers.
Still. there may be something in the
above communication which employers
would do well te consider.

But IN an evil hour, he, like thousands of others,
contracted drinking habits, which followed HIM
through life. He al times would feel his great
error and struggled hard and finally resolved
TO stop, and then he would be himself again;
but that insatiate, insane appetite would force
him again To give way 10 a habit, as he said, en-
urely beyond his control. About two years
ago, while residing IN MiddleburV, he obtained
a remedy and thought that IL was "A radical cure
for The habit. lie was highly delighted and
stuck To the remedy, and immediately his heart
went ont AFTER the welfare of other drinking
men. lie would say, "LOuk az me and see what
II has done for me; II II will cure me il will
cure anybody" lie finally obtained a situation
IN Washington, where he found different asso-
ciateb, ,shu p%ractised drinking habits, and he

he ls no more. from adyices received from his
Western home, 1t is sad De led n sober and

cuorse and hoped that he might gain a world
where sorrow never enters. &.
