Yes, = said the old man, lit was a

she left me- 1t was SO hard to think
that she who had for SO long been the
object of my tenderest solicitude was be-
yond any care-taking of mine. was sure
she needed me, and | could not go to
her. All, that thought was SO bitter.
My faith assured me of her happiness
in Heaven, but my self refused to be
comforted. My only solace was my
organ, and it was then | learned of the
divine comfort of music, the glorious
harmony which God has given to His
children. None but those who have
sorrowed will understand it, for only
unto them has it been revealed At
last came to this county and to this
town, and became the organlst of the
church from which we came tonight.
Every Easter even since she let me /
have played the Hallelujah, and Thekla
has listened. Here / have lived alone
and waited waited to go to Thekla,
but ali! | did not think the dear God
would keep me from her SO long
The old organist's voice grew faint,
and Paul said:
Dear friend, you are not well; let
me stay with you tonight"
No, Paul, dear boy, it is nothing.
Go home and do not be sorroWful be-
cause of what have told you tonight.
/ love you, my dear pupil, and am
Glad [ opened my heart to YOU. Good
night, sleep well and hope that the
Easter morning may be bright and
beautiful
With warm hand-clasp the two
friends parted, Paul filled with many
misgivings and half inclined to insist
upon remaining with the old man.
The next morning when he reached the
church the organist was not there, and
fearing, he knew not what, Paul hast
ened to his home. The old man lived
alone, and Paul finding that the outer
door yielded to his touch, entered and
opened the room in which the previous
evening had been spent. His heart
sank within him as he saw, in the midst
of the sunlight which streamed through
the window, the lamp still burning as
when he departed, while ON the lounge
before the ashes of the burned out fire
lay the form of the old organist just as
he had left him. Hastily touching the
cold hand and quiet heart, Paul found
his worst fears confirmed
While the robins were singing their
Easter anthems in the early quiet of
that resurrection morning, the old man
had gone to Thekla, and with her he
joined in the ''seven-folo chorus of
hallelujahs and harping symphonies.

sPEcuLATING FARMERS.
The Farm Always Safe Investment for
Capital.

The Farm Always a Safe Investment for
Capital
The example of farmers investin g
money in railways, gold mines, Chicago
corner lots, margins ON grain, and
speculative schemes generally, calls up
the fact that in a majority of instances
these farmers have been s'bitten.'' and
nothing has resulted but loss to their
fondest calculations.
This raises the inquiry if, in ma
jority of cases, the money that was in
vested in speculation and lost would
not if put upon the farm in permanent
improvements, have been judicious
move and ended in substantial gain.
But few farms are worked UP to their
possibilities; but few farms but evidence
where money can be safely invested in
Improvements, and all farms have waste
lands and unproductive fields to some
extent, that if made productive would
be better stock than wildcat" mine
in the can t-find-' en- mountains. That
prices are low does not argue for sus-
pension of production; and that times

be allowed to go to ruin; that the past
prosperous tines of the farm are not to
be for years again realized does not
point the farmer to-, the investment of
his money in speculative schemes, that
after all are dependent upon the agri-
cultural industry of the country.
The farm is not like a mine from
which all is taken and nothing re-
turned, the more complete and ex-
haustiye. tL greater the profit, blt il is
instead del ! in which certain things
are stored fir III which harvests result,
End the more thorough the conditions.
and the more complete and ample the
investment the more profuse the returns
from that investment These invest
ments are made under the eye of the
farmer. No robbers to plumber, no
cashiers to skip, no Wards to invest
in visionary deals" but under the
farmers guiding and molding hand,
controlled by his own judgment, the
farm always is safe investment of cap

brought out IN the recitals of these
wretched women was the sense of utter
hopelessness as long as they were COM
PEELED to meet the ceaseless enticements
of the bar-room and gin-palsce.
The statements of these women
showed what an appalling amount of
tipping goes on even where there arel
no overt signs of actual intoxication.
This tipping is practiced by great num-.
bers of women. What many affect to
think mere harmless indulgence is the
prolific source of the more developed
evils. In recent article in the London
Lancet this noteworthy statement is
made:
alongside of all the teetotalism that
exists, there is an appalling amount OF
tipping that does not distinctly intcxi-'
cate, but saturates the principal organs
and destroys them more quickly than
would an occasional debauch. IN Y.

A Simple Remedy for Sweeny.

A Southern fasmer gives a remedy
which he says will in nine cases out of
ten effect a speedy cure for sweeny.
Bake a fiat pone of corn bread, let it be
about two inches thick; when nearly
done saturate thoroughly with tar,
which can best be done by making
small holes in the bread and pouring in
the tar. This being done, wrap in a
cloth and apply to the affected shout
der, pressing it tightly and keeping it
there until the bread becomes cold. By
the next morning your animal will be
ready for service. 1t is very important
that the bread should be as hot as bear
able. Another farmer says to remove
the difficulty take equal parts of tallow,
beeswax, marrow cont of beeves' bones)
and sleeps tallow, and from one gill to
one quart of whisky, also one table,
spoonful of salt. Put the frs four ar
ticles into pot or kettle, melt them to-
gether, then put in the other two arti-
cles, and then apply it to the affected
part of tie horse, battle in with hot
IRON as hof as the horse can bear. You
may work your horse right along

CATTLE SHELTER.
Warm Barns Not So Desirable, In Som.
Cases, as Open Sheds.

Warm Barns Not So Desirable, In Som,
Cases. as Open Sheds.
1t is not my purpose to discuss this
question, but to call attention to an i'm
portant consideration in the use of
warm barns or ample wind-breaks.
Stock of any kind, made comfortable
in warm barns during the night, and
turned out in the morning to face a
cold, northwest wind, with the ther-
molaeter indicating ten, twenty, thirty
or forty degrees below zero, is under
worse conditions than where sheds only
are provided, with ample grove pro-
lection. Many farmers have built
warm barns upon the open prairie with
out any shed, grove OF day protection,
and the stock is turned out for water in
the morning, and allowed to remain
all day. Suci course is bound to
lay the foundation of disease, to which
may be directly traced lung difficulties,
rheumatism, poor fattening qualities,
inferior mixers and low vitality. It is
under such conditions that some farm
ers have condemned barns. We are
not discussing the economic features of
comfortable barns gersus sheds, but
simply the plan by which the best re-
suits can be secured by a severe eli
mate.
Upon the prairies of the northwest,
every farmer should provide comfort
able barn, be it ever SO simple and in
expensive, ample sheds to break the
wind and storms during the day, and
around the whole should be grown
belt of timber, impervious to the winds.
A pioneer farmer of considerable ex-
perience has described his model timber
Wind-break, to consist of ten rods in
width Of dense, white willow, ten rods
of white pine, and again willow three
rods wide.
The external willow protects the Pine
from severe winds and drifting SHOWS;
the interior willow stands the tramping
of the stock, while the pine constitutes
the imperyious lining. If some other
farmer should prefer different plan I
should not object-only to insist that il
should form a complete protection. Ii
there be any warm corner or sunny side
for brute life in this cold climate, our
domestic animals deserve it, and they
are sure to pay the highest rent in
speed, beef, milk, wool and pork for
comfortable places in which to toast
their feet and spin their yarns while the
blizzard is howlEng without &c. 4.

Telegraphers' Paralysis and TeIeg-
raphers' Mistakes.

Telegraphers' paralysis is an ailment
the most dreaded of all by telegraphers.
1t comes on very suddenly sometimes.
On the night of the election, when the
returns came pouring in, one of the best
men in the New York Office was struck
and compelled to give up There is
hardly an operator of any experience in
that city that has not had touch of it.
Many telegraphers, after serving for
years, are forced to throw up their 20
sitions on account of this form of
paralysis. Apart from the evil effects,
physically speaking. arising from the
ailment, operators trace many mistakes
they make in sending messages, to the
same source. The slightest pressure on
the key viii ofttimes produce other than
the letter the operator wishes to indi-
cate. Mistakes are often the cause Of
much annoyance, and frequently loss,
in pecuniary way, as many operators
can attest to their sorrow. as they are
held responsible for mistakes. When an
operator is attacked be soon .inds AIT
his keen sense Of touch hss Disappeared
