GOOD RESOLUTION.

What shall the motives be
Throughout the present year?
Shall they be for evil,
Or shall they bring good cheer?
Shall the Angel Reapers
Fer search for wheat in vainl
Or shall they find store
OF ripened golden grain?
Shall my heart be growing
A crop of evil deeds ?
Or carefully produce
A harvest of good deeds?
Shall my hancs cease labor
Because the work is hard?
Or shall with new vigor.
Discouragements discard!
Shall my life be wasted,
And time be spent in vain
Or, constantly improve
Each moment for my gain
Shall 1 cultivate the thorn
And let the roses go?
Or tareS cast in the fire,
That flowers sweet may grow?
With careful watch I'll give
The tareS and thornS no room
Rich graces from the spheres
Within my heart shall bloom.
That when the Angel Reapers
Bind up the golden grain,
They find in me q harvest
A life not spent in vain,

At least such had been her inten~

from it; few low, earnestly spoken
words reach her ears, and in an in

the name of William Browne was
more than once pronounced.
"But, my darling" said Raymond,
"surely it cannot be that when your
uncle knows that your dear heart,
God bless it, is given to another, he
will still seek to make you comply
with an engagement that your father
made for you when you were a little
child ! He himself would not, if he

George. But within few days, he
has told me that Mr.. Browne has re-
turned from his ten years residence
in Europe, and that | must make up
my mind to fulfil the old contract
very shortly. Oh, Charley, what
shall we do?"
"Do !" exclaimed the young man,
do! why, that is very clear. Your
uncle does not know OF our attach
ment. have never spoken to him
about it, but now l will tell him, and
then he will certainly not insist on
your fulfilling contract that (par-
don me, dearest), should never have
been made. Do not be uneasy, dear;
all will be we'll !"
"No it won't, either !' exclaimed
an excited, familiar voice; and as the
lovers, thus rudely awakened to the
fact that their interesting conversa>

sprang to their feet, the parlor door

crash and scream, Mrs. Winston,

Charlie Raymond, vainly endeav.

picked the old lady up, and then,
smoothing down her disordered attire,
she at once broke forth with the new,
the grand idea, whose brilliant adj
vent had led to her mishap; she con-
tinued just where she had broken off,
all unheeding, in her excitement, that
her every word convicted her of
evesdropping.

old Hickory Wagons.

The cold Hickory" is manufactured at
Louisville, Kentucky, by the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company.
The quality Of the cold Hickory" is main
tanned at any cost.
The cold Hickory" is built for strength
durability, lshtness, and is of graceful APP
pearance.
The "Old Hickory" is as perfect as it is
possible for wagon TO be built.
The superiority of the cod Hickory" over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption of that form or mod
ell that comprises the largest amount of strength
with the least superhuous weight
Second-To the adoption of that shape,
size, and adjustment Of skeins, wheels and
gear, and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singletrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft
Thrd-To the great advantages the manu-
facturers Of the "0ld Hickory" have over
other wagon makers in location, situated rs
they are in the centre of the finest timber re-
gion in the world. The company makes Sc
lections from the white oak and black hickory
Of Kentucky, which are justly celebrated.
Fourth-To the great advantage of having
plenty o: the best timber to work on, only
thoroughly air-seasoned timber being used -
No irresponsible convict or penitentiary labor
is employed, but intelligent, skilled mechanics

made only of one quality and that strictly

NO DDURTING THOMAS
Eight Acres Cut in Five Hours, Binds
Solid Sheaves.

SANDY SPRING, Montgomery co., Nd,
March 20, 1888. !
Mr.. F. l.. NooRE Yours of the 23d inst
per Mr.. Grimes, just received. In regard TO
my experience with the Champion Binder,
can only say that ] was unfortunate in get
ting hold OF one that did not seem properly
adjusted, though we had good satisfaction
with il for one day, cutting eight acres in FIVE
hours by the watch. 1t binds more solid
sheaf than any other binder | have seen. The
bundle is round and compact, whereas all
other binders have seen make bundle hav-
ing cavity in one side which makes the bun
ole get looser after being handled.
The machine is well made in every respect.
The material seems to be of the best quality.
The rnisng and lowering Of the cutter bar is
all desire. The machine will cut and The
elevators deliver the worst lodged grain we
have had. We are looking forward to the COM
ing harvest with great deal of satisfaction,
believing, rs we do, that when the binder az
tachment is properly adjusted it will be the
best machine, taking all things together, that
is yet made. Very truly,
f. P. THOMAS.

THE ESTERLY
Light Draft, SelfBinding Harvester


Having sold a number of these machines for
the harvest of 1882, and they having given
such entire satisfaction, surprising all other
makes with which they came in competition
during the harvest of 1882 in performing the
work for which they are designed and sold,
was constrained to accept the general agency
for the States of Virginia, West Virginia,
Montgomery county, Nd, District Of Column
bia and the counties of Sullivan, johnson,
Washington, Carter and Greene in the State
of Tennessee, having secured the general
agency, and having believe the most simple,
and durable, and only perfectly reliable bind
er made, can offer inducements 10 farmers 10
purchase this machine in preference to all 9TH
ers. Having the general agency will carry
a full line of extras, which any farmer in this
locality can appreciate as great advantage,
being SO much nearer to him in case he needs
repairs. The Esterly Binder Is the only bind
er made which will 60 right along cutting and
binding every sheaf without any foolishness
or delays and time lost in running after ex-
perts to fix them when out Of working order !;

The New Osborne

is he Binder Of Tie present day. After setting
up.several this season, and comparing their
many points of undoubted merit over other
Binders we are compelled 10 agree that the
inevitable light-drgf Improved Appleby Net0 o.
borne Binder is THE BINDER of the present
day.
THE NEW OSBORNE is a substantial,
strong built and durable Irvine Binder.
THE NEW OSBORNE is automateal
and controls its operations.
THE NEW OSBORNEis simplicity per-
sonifed, having .teaoer parts than any other
binder, and consequently less liable to get
out of order.
THE NEW OSBORNE is an external
gedred machine.
THE NEW OSBORNE, on account of its
external gearing, is very light draft ma
chine
THE NEW OSBORNE'S knives pass
through three guards to the stroke, thus giving
in comparison TO other binders third more
po,cer with third less speed.
THE NEW OSBORNE is so nicely bal
anced by the driver when seated that it can
be tilted without effort SO as to carry the
knives over stones, or depress them for picking
up lodged grain. 1t is wonderfully effective
in down and tangled grain. 1t can pick up
and save grain that others can not touch
ter boards are each adjustable.
TIE NEW OSBORNE has tho centre
geared knife and boiled guards.
THE NEW OSBORNE has the 60 inch
eleedtion. We have found from actual expert
ence that the so inch elevation does not suit
the East, and offer TO our farmers Il binder
with a 60 inch elevation, enabling you to Sc
cure your Rye as well as wheat. Please note
this, if not present it may be a future con-
sideration.
II affords US pleasure te state that Mr.. II. J.
Case and E. +. Mills, Company's Agents, re.
port from South America that they have put
the New Osborne to the segerea test, and il is
doing faithful work, never missing sheaf
They cannot detect single defect
THE NEW OSBORNE is on exhibition at
our Store and the public ale hereby cordially
invited to call and examine for themselves -
The Binder we can with confidence recommend
as The binder for our people. We offer the
NEW OSBORNE and the Osborne family of
combined machines, Independent Reapers and
the Osborne Premium Mooer, as lo,o as any
machine of the same class can be bought, and
on very easy terms. The trade has already
commenced with us, and the prospect for
heavy one was never more hattering. We
have arranged with Mcssrs. d. NJ. Osborne Il
Co. TO carry a complete stock of Extras, and
with tried, experienced men already and regu-
larly in our employ, and as much assistance
from the company as desired we promise faith
ful service 10 all purchasers Of the Osborne
