Mr.. Handy knows how to prepare, plant

gathering the crop: Sales from potatoes
and onions, $50; 103 gallons syrup at 60c.

$40; total, 1921 80. Now, l have placed

about what the crop was worth when
gathered.

Bishop Pierce. The body of the quilt
contains handsomely executed emblems,
and the initials of different conferences,
colleges, etc., over which the Bishop had
presided. One of the objects of the work
was to raise funds to assist in carry ing
out one of the deceased Bishops benevo-
lent enterprises that had not been per-
fected at his death. To this end all who
contributed a dime or more, as they felt
disposed, were accorded the honor of hav-
ing their names worked on the quilt. The
border of the quilt contains several hun
dred Of these names from all parts Of the
country. One small space in the quilt
contains the name ''Joe joe" little boy
in China. 1t was truly noble impulse
that originated the plans and purposes of
this quilt, and the lady to whom the honor
belongs, Mrs. Mosely, of EatOntOn, de-
serves the thanks and gratitude of the
entire NJ. Z. church South. We trust that
the success which has been attained IN
the execution OF the mechanical work of
the enterprise will be awarded to all the
other objects for which it was originated.

THE OLD CHURCH BILL

Ring on, ring on. sweet Sabbath belll
Thy mellow tones like To hear;
was a boy when first they fell
In melody upon my ear;
In those dear days past and gone,
When sporting here In boyish gice,
The magic Of thy Sabbath tone
Awokc emotions deep in me.
Long years have gone and have strayed
Out DER the world far, far away
But thy dear tones have round me played
On every lovely Sabbath day,
When strolling DER the mighty plains,
Spread widely in the unpeopled West,
Each Sab h morn I've heard thy strains
Tolling the welcome day of rest.
Upon the rocky mountain crest,
Where Christian feet have never trod,
In the deep bosom Of the West,
I've thought of thee and worshiped God.
Ring on, sweet bell, I've come again
TO hear thy cherished call to prayer,
There's less of pleasure now than pain
In those dear tones which fill my ear.

THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER.

In the bright summer sunlight
We see near the strand
The cliffs made immortal
By great Shakespeare's hand
You may search the fair shores
OF old England over,
You will never find cliffs
Like the white cliffs Of Dover.
The gray castle may stand
On the rock-bound coast
And the pretty town near il
In vain pride may boast;
There Is no sight so pleasant
To the tired sea rover
As a view o'cr the waters
or the white cliffs of Dover.
oh, land of our Fathers,
our heart love for thee
Is as warm as the sunshine,
As deep as the sea.
Thy bright fields are fresh
With the sweet scented clover,
As we bid thee farewell
BY the white cliffs Of Dover.
The steamer moves out
From the long wooden pier,
And the parting is sad
With the sigh and the tear;
But we still watch the land,
Growing lower and lower,
TIL We leave in the distance
The white cliffs of Dover.

TuE COUNTRY FIDDLER.

What music the master makes,
With pedals enl ilcs AMI keys;
The roar Of tn hl.si that ,aL.s
The cliffs on their granite knees;
The signing rough of the wind.
AS II signals the storm 10 come,
With the traupling rain behind,
When the plains are parched and dumb
The chanting Of tempest hymns,
The roll OF the thunder drum,
The lashing Of lusty limbs,
Where the forests creak and hum
The distant dolorous dying,
AS the windy forces part,
That is like the secret crying,
And craving of the heart.
But make It as loud AS thunder,
AS low as inward pain,
As rapturous AS the wonder
OF love returned again;
Not till ! gain that city
For which my father prayed,
Shall ever hear such music
As our country fiddler made.

Dear 90 the saint the sound,
The name of Charlotte skinner,

Dew drappled, the orchard dreamed;
In the meadows the crickcts danced
And the silken gossamers cleaned;
And, doubtless, were eltins peered,
From their moonless, sylvan vaults,
And whisked and wheeled to the weird,
Sad strains OF the "FaIry Waltz
Strange thoughts in my childish head,
Chased lightly TO money Musk"
To the Fishers Horn-pipe" sped,
Through the dim enchanted dusk,
How good did the old world seem,
How much better Place,
Than what We can ever deem
When We meet it face to face.
No Jest, for II Is tear,
For memories sweet and faint;
Borne from the past, hear
Those melodies, like plant
They bring the scent Of the wildwood,
The purpling bloom OF the lea,
Till the happy heart Of childhood
Is born sfrcsh in inc.
Tonight no PHILOSOPHERS,
No crec,ls precisely filed,
Wiser than all the wise
Is the heart Of the little child.

For what | most 10 yearn,

Man is dependent upon his surround
ings for the necessities of life. Air and
water are necessities of life, but impure
air and impure water are most prolific
sources OF disease. Food Is also neces-
sity of life, but numerous diseases are
tTsceable to both lack of necessary food,
and an over Indulgence in special kinds
of nourishnent. Besides these external
sources of disease there are other more
subtle and internal causes. Each individ
ual inherits from his parents certain
physical constitution, Each person there
fore derives his chances Of health or dis
ease from Il double source, namely his in.
herited constitution aud his surroundings
in life. Sanitary science devotes attention
to our surroundings. Medical science
seeks to overcome tho constitutional or
Inherited weakness by medicines that
supply what is wanting in the system
De Haven's Dyspepsia Cure supplies that
which is wanting to ensure proper assim
ilatioL and digestion offood. Try it. Free
