STICK TO YOUR BUSINESS.

There is no wiser rule by which a
young man should be guided than to
stick to that business or pursuit in
which he has had the most expert
ence. Generally merchants clerks
adhere to this rule and rise from the
lowest round in the business ladder
to the highest. 1t is the man raised
upon the farm who oftenest depart
from this and suffer the loss of time
and capital thereby. Wehave known
many young men, here and elsewhere
who got tired of the farm and went
to the city or town to engage in pur-
suits they knew nothing about. Fail
ure was the inevitable consequence,
and they had to go back to the cOun-
try and take up pursuit with which
they were more familiar, and the re-
suit is, they are doing well, making
money. Patience and pluck will win
IRON the handle of the hoe and pillow
substantial victory. The contest may
be unpromising at first, the rewards
of labor and industry slow in mani
Testing themselves, but the young far
mer who has been raised to till the
soil may be assured that there is no
better place for him than the farm.
In the city he not only has to com
pete with men thoroughly versed in
their business, with experience and
some capital, but the countryman has
to adopt city style-his expenses for
dress and living are greatly increased,
and he has to be very strong timber
to resist the temptations and allure
ments of city life, which are but
vanity and veXation of spirit"
There's one thing | want to say to
you young men. Your education
isn't going to save you at all. Why,
In New York prison were lately
counted thirty graduates of Oxford
and Cambridge who were tramps and
outcasts. Nor will your membership
IN college or university save you.
You must get on the right path; you
must make your way to God, seek his
love, open your hearts to it. And
you may be sure the task is an easy
one, for you are sure, at the begin
ming, that he loves you and will for
give your sins.-Moody to the Yale
students.

THE GROWING WHEAT.

The absolute uniformity of the re-
turns indicate that the outlook for
winter sown wheat this year is the
worst in ten years and it may be now
set down as positive that under the
most favoring conditions, the total
winter and spring wheat yield will
tall considerably under the short
crop Of 1881, when the total produc-
ton was $50, 100000 bushels.
The condition in the various States
is as follows: Illinois, the average
condition does not exceed 46 per
cent Of the yield of 1884. Kansas SO
per cent the State will not produce
more than one third of its last years
yield Ohio SO per cent of 1884; In
diana 46 per cent of last year; Ten
nesse will not harvest one fourth the
crop of 1884 Kentucky so per cent
of last years crop. Pacific coast re-
gion show shortage of 26,500,000
bushels as compared with the crop of
1884. Michigan promises to turn out
SO per cent of the average yield.
From a close compilation, and taking
the most cheerful view of the situa-
ton, the winter wheat yield for the
present year will not exceed two:hun-
dred million bushels, and the abso-
lutte percentage from the most trust
worthy sources indicate that. the
yield will fall somewhat short under
than over the figures given.
Turning to the spring wheat belt,
the outlook is altogether more prom
Using, and the probable spring wheat
yield, based upon continuing tavora-
bic weather, will be 100000 900 bush
els. The total wheat crop of the
country, therefore, from present out
look will be from 800, 100000 to $780,
100000 bushels against an average
yield for the past five years of 1884,
100000 bushels.

At this point Josephine started

My mother, of course, retains his name,

little white hand was clasned over his

whisper in his ear:
"Oh, Harry, don t-don't ifyou can
love me still, say no more till we are

And when, later, they were alone,
Josephine humbled herself completely.
She saw her glaring fault. 1t was
not that she had been hurt at heart
by what she had heard of her lover,

The Sad Story Of Patience Bar
mum.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Over in q Jersey town, at Mount
Holly, as near as remember, iisthe
grave OF Patience Barnum. Patience
Barnum was d Quaker girl and her.
oine, and no grave is more entitled to
recognition in this season of decora-
ton. She gave her life for the Union.
No strength or charm can be added to
the simple tale Of her sacrifice. A
young physician in Philadelphia was
betrothed to Patience Barnum when
the war broke out, and their wedding
day Was fixed. He also was g. 9 uaker,
and was enthusiastically loyal, and he
was among the foremost to volunteer
his services in defense of the Union
Months went by, and he was with his
regiment in the thickest of the most
bitter fights. One day news came
North that skirmish had left some
OF his company dead and others
wounded, and that he was among the
missing. When this dispatch reached
the girl who had been waiting to be-
come wife, her whole life changed as
in the twinkling of an eye, and she sud-
denly developed into mature oman.
The next news that came convinced
all the young soldiers friends that he
had been killed. But Patience did not
sit idly and hopelessly down to wait.
Before even her closest relatives
were aware of it she had vol
unteered for . the war; she found
her place in an ambulance corps, and
they who loved her at the North lost
sight of her wholly ere many weeks
went by. She was far South; she was
in the van OF the very regiment. with
which her hero had marched away.
There came a furious fight one night,
and a rebel town was captured, a.
town with g. prison pen, a Libby ona
small scale. When victory was no

Terrific Rain storm

CINCISNATI, Aug. 22,-Tho most VIC
lent storm that over occurred hero
passed over the city about 6 o'clock
this evening, Tho rain dashed down
in sheets, flooding Easements all over
the city ana temporarily suspending
street traffic. Tho maximum velocity
OF tho wind was So miles per hour, and
this, with tho unusual rain, caused a
great deal Of damage. The Lion
brewery and the Eureka foundry
were unroofed, and several small
houses were wrecked. The damage TO
private dwellings was severe. No
persons are known 10 have been killed,
although several buildings were
struck by lightning. The Miami rail.
road dry docks suffered severely.
Three steamboats, on the docks were
torn loose and floated down the river
some distance, but wore tinal s. gWgh.
and lowed back.
