II Bishop Taylor and MS Methodist
missionary band have been favored by
fortune they are by this time nearing
their destination in the far interior of
Africa. Thus far Bishop Taylor's en-
terprises in Africa have had remark
able success. He has planted a line of
stations in Angola. from the coast sew
eral hundred of miles inland, where
iifty-three white Americans are nov
living in good health, on excellent
terms with the natives, and subsisting
ON the products of their little planta-
tionS.
Bishop Taylor's intention when he
went TO Africa was to leugthen this
chain of stations az rapidly as possible,
until he had opened line of commune
cation between the sea aud the Tush-
ilange country, of which the explorer
Wissmann brought home such wonder
full stories. Last years remarkable
discoveries in the Congo basin. how
ever, showed that the Tushilanpe
country could be reached BY an all
water route. The 1lth of June last
accordingly found Bishop Taylor at
the mouth of the Congo with ten men
and one woman. King Leopold had
promised to transport them free of
charge on one of the Congo State
steamers to the head of navigation on
the lower river.
Thence they expect to march along
the cataracts to Stanley Pool. and then
travel by steamer up the Congo and its
kassai atliuent about 400 miles TO their
destination in the fertile region recent
~ visited by half dozen explorers,
and more layishly praised than any
other part Of tropical Africa.
Bishop Taylor expected to be the
pioneer in this region, but the Congo
State already has two stations there,
and the officers IN charge are sending
home most encouraging reports of the
country. Some cattle and goats that
Wissmann took there from Angola on
his last journey are thriving and
multiplying, and abundant supplies of
grains and vegetables are raised on the
little plantations of the white immi-
grants.
So short cut was opened TO Bishop
Taylor to the goal of his ambition. If
his party escapes unscathed in the very
ulwholesome regions of the lower
Congo, there are good reasons for be- !
lievlng that they Will be able 10 live in !
the CASH valley in u fair degree of !
health and comfort.

COUNTRY LIFE AND WORK.
"oUn FIRST GRAY HaIR.,.

As the Arst big pattering drops that fall
With splash on the lattice pane
Make us SILVER and start as they warn US all
OF Storm or Of coming rain,
So il is with life, when We are growing old,
And age steals unaware,
We shiver and start IL the truth were told
At the sight OF our first gray hair
We mark not the lis BIT Of our MONDAY hours,
Like The nrst streaks the dawn doth bring;
We hail not the birth OF our summer flowers
As we do the first snowdrops o spring;
on the bleak winter wind we look not with grief
Though it howl through the branches bare,
But we sigh when we witness the brown autumn
leaf,
And behold natures first gray ha'r.
Gray hairs may come when the beaming eye
Has none OF it's brightness lost
When with buoyant heart we wonld faln deny
Youths Rubicon has been crossed;
Yet the iyy-clad tree looks young and green,
Though sapless trunk may be there,
And naught OF decay on our cheeks may be seen
When We witness our fret gray hair.
Come early, come late, like knock at the gate,
Is that Fret soft silyery thread;
And il joins. with its silence the years that await
With the years forever fled;
1t silently qnestiOns-Wheref
o! faithful milestone,i were the truth but
known,
Is seen in our first gray hair.

THE AGO.
BIT b. =. TAYLOR.

o. wonderful stream Is the river Time,
As i runs through the realm OF tears,
With a fauitless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
As Il blends in the ocean Of yearsl
How the winters are drifting Ike fakes OF snow,
And the summer like buds between,
And the years in the sheaf, how they come and
they 20
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and its flow,
As il glides ia the shadow and sheen.
There's 3 magical isle up the river Time,
Where the softest OF airs are playing.
There's 8 eloudiess sky and tropical cline
And q song - sweet a. a yesper chime,
And the June with the roses are straying.
And the name Of the isle Is Long ago.
And We bury our treasures there:
There are srows OF beauty and hosoms Of snow,
There are heaps % dust-ohi we loved them So
There ar trinkets aud tresses Of hair.
There are fragments OF songs that nobody sings,
There are parts Of an infants prayer,
There's Lutte unswept and = harp without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces Of rings,
And the garments our loved ones used to wear.
There are hands that are waved wnen the fairy
shore
BY the itful mirage is lifted in air,
And We sometimes hear through the turbulent
ToaF
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river fair.
Oh! remembered for aye be that blessed isle,
All the dry Of our life until night;
And when evening gows with its beautiful
smile.
And our eyes are closing in slumbers awhile,
May the greenwood Of soul be in sight.

CURRENT NOTES.

As a rule, winter fruit should not be gathered
until after the first OF October; but the autumn
fruit will most OF it be gathered before the
end Of September. The trees should be exam
ined this month for borers, and the young or
chard should be carefully looked over, and all
limbs that cross each other removed. This work
can be none much better during warm weather
than after winter sets in. Alter removing the
borers small mound OF earth should be made
around each tree TO protect il during the wiGter
from field mice.
The successful farmer does not attempt too
much. lie concentrates, and the more he does
this the greater are his gains. He does not
expect large crops from his lands without
manuring. He recognizes the necessity Of
constant study and watchfulness.
A correspondent OF the Country Gentleman,
while admitting tie advantage of box stalls, calls
attention 20 the evils Of combining either horses
or cattle in boX-pens, even as large az ten feet
square, for three or four months continuously,
of even for two months or ten weeks, without
taking out the manure daily.
The Poultry Monthly advises that poultry men
and fanciers should encourage fall sales. Win
terng large num"er of fOwls, pigeons or any
kind of pet stock is at best very risky and ex-
pensve, az they require more than ordinary
care and runs. Worst OF all to be dreaded is
the liability Of disease spreading among them,
and the loss OF breeding stock on which so
much tin 2, labor and outlay have been expend-
ed.
Lord Derby said TO the workingmen: ''We
have heard great deal recently about the peas
antry becoming owners Of land and having gar
dens, fields and farms Of their own. Now, an
acre Of good agricultural land is worth, on al
average, about sixty pounds, or. as nearly az
possible, three pence for every square yard.

sASBoRN's SYSTEM.

The following is given by the Rural World as
Prof Sanborn's system OF Rotation OF crops on
the College farm at Columbia No. 1t is good
system for naturally good soil, Ike those OF
the Mississippi Valley. On poorer quality OF
soil il would take too much out Of and put not
encugh into the land, though one dressing OF
stable manure aud one crop of clover turned
under every six years is more in the way OF fer
tiiiZers than most OF our farms get: "He begins,
say with timothy sod. Manures and plOws in
the fall for corn in the spring. The corn Is cut
early and taken from the land as soon as cured,
the land piOp ed and in the spring sowed to oats
and seeded with clover. The oats are moved
cary for hay, thus giving the clover a chance TO
come on and make second crop for hay. The
first crop of clover the next season is cut for hay
bGt If the land needs improving the second crop
Is plowed uder and the wheat sowed. IL the land
is IN good heart il can be cut for hay or saved
for seed. With the wheat is sowed timothy
which is allowed to remain two years blowing it
up in the fall Of the second year TO plant to corn
again the next spring, thus bringing us back TO
the beginning Of the rotation again. This IL a
six years rotation ard in the six years one gets
seven crops, if he saves the second crop OF
clover he gets eight. The land is manfred
every six years. Under such management in
stead OF the land becoming exhausted it will be-
come stronger and more fertile as has been pro-
ven on the College Farm and thousands OF other
cases."
