DIR. oourYER ON TEE DESTRUCTION OF
THE POOR.
One Of the most touching sights Of
modern times. said the Rev. Robert
Collver to his congregation, is to see IN
tbe beautiful springtime how the poor
of the Old World catch the American
fever. The Door smith strikes his last
stroke laws his hammer across the
anvil for good luck, and then says good
nv Ia his home and his country. The
farm hand draws his last furrow and
Ioada his last vain. Then he says, with
tears in his eyes, "GOodby, master.
He will never say master again, for the
waters of the Atlantic will wash 1t from
his heart. No one knows how much

places like Lowell, were farmers
