IN MEMORY.

Her suffering DER her life is done,
Sickness aud death are past
She lives beyond the shining sun,
Where death can never blast.
1t was Gods will that she should leave
A world 81 sin b hind,
Apd,since we know il was His will,
Our hearts must be resigned.
Sickness aud death here may reign,
And trials thickly stand
But she's beyond the reach Of pain,
In heaven, at Gods right hand.
A shining crown is en- her head,
A hsrp is in her hand,
And there with all the angels bright,
Before the throne she stands.
Why should we weep and grieve for her,
Since from our sight she's gone;
She was only ours a little while,
And God has called her home.
Oh We shall miss her, but can't forget
All h:r suffering and patience ard love-
And we hope when our life's sun shall set,
For q reunion In mansions above.

The World Coming.

Miss Maria A. West of COnstantino-
pie, says the COngre gationalist, writes
of the commencement of il mission
work in that city such us never has
been known there before. 1t is really
another outcome of Mr.. MOOdy's labOrs
in Great Britain. After his meetings
in Glasgow, about ii years ago, Rev.
DR.. SOmerville of that city was Undue
ed to leave his passionate and give
himselfup to evangelistic work for the
world. He is now considerably past
20, and has reached COnstantinOple af
ter touring nearly around the globe.
He is accompanied by his son, Rev.
James SOmerville, and they are hold
ing two and three meetings daily. One
Sabbath service at Robert college, in
which the sermon occupied two hours,
awakened the most profound interest
among the $50 or more students.
Another gathering, for the Greek pop
ulatiOn, attracted an audience of 400
or 500. The fact that so many from
these different villages came TO the
early morning meetings in Pera, the
European quarter, speaks we'll for their
sustained interest. 1t is delightful,
says Miss West, to see a venerable
Scotch minister throwing himself, with
all the enthusiasm of Il young athlete,
into modern methods, of the best type
of evangelistic work. His picturesque
style is particularly suited to the ORR
entail mind the people call him the
"artist" preacher.

Root Crops. .

Every stOckman and farmer should
make a point of raising good supply
OF the various kinds of roots, for stock
feeding. Mangels and sugar-beets are
probably of most value. The sooner
the ground can be prepared for them,
the better, and a loose, friable soil is
best. Plant in rows far enough distant
to allow working with horse cultivator
or pillow. They will yield well in good
soil without extra fertilizing but they
are great feeders, and if there is stable
manure for the purpose, it may be used
to advantage. Sow mangels early in
May. They require deep culture. Long
Red and -Kimer's Globe are good varie-
ties. Turnips are more valuable for
feeding than commonly thought to be.
Sow Ruta Bagas or Swedes from June
LIST to July. The White Cowhorn is a
good variety, also American Ruta Baga
and Yellow Aberdeen, the latter, a

The warden was leading me through
one of the corridors of the wOrkhouse
on Blackwell's Island, when, going to
the door of cell, he pushed back the
sliding board from the grating and
bade me look in. The room was
lighted by a small window near the
ceiling. All around, to the height of
perhaps eight feet or more, it was lined
with padding covered with leather, and
on the floor, spread over its entire
breadth, there was mattress having Il
similar appearance to the padding on
the sides. On the mattress there lay a
man, probably not more than five-and-
twenty years of age, bareheaded, bare
footed, stripped of coat and vest, and
having his arms tightly bound behind
him with strong cords. He had
dropped asleep for a moment or two,
and was breathing heavily. "There :"
said the warden, as he turned away,
''that is the end of his debauch. He is
suffering from delirium tremens, and
we have put him in there to keep him

Commercial Fertilizers.

When we see the books of testimoni-

it would he that would hold the other
side of the story if it was collected in
that form. A farmer on Pudding hill
in Lyndon remarked the other day that
last Year he planted three quarters of
an acre of potatoes, using six hundred
pounds of phosphate. When harvest
came he had to sell all those potatoes,
with a quarter of an acre beside to pay
for the phosphate. He doesn't want
to buy any now.
