Beginning the stock Business.

My beginning in the stock business was
humble enough. / got a few Plymouth
Rock chickens, and sold eggs enough to
buy two little pigs. Then / got q SOW.
We saved everything Allthe dish water
was poured into the swill barrel, and grain
or mill feed mixed with it. We gave the
pigs plenty Of green food, and crowded
them right up to the market. They helped
us to buy young cow and calf. The
skim milk went to the pigs, and the
surplus butter helped out our little treas
ury. In due time pair of weaving mare
colts could be bought. At two years old
they did considerable work, and at three
they were a good, trusty team. 1t was
easy enough to multiply and improve this
stock after it was once paid for. 1t was
like young mans fortune the first $l0e
comes the hardest. 1t has been my motto
in breeding stock, if | could not afford tC
pay for the services of a thoroughbred
male, to wait till could, rather than SEND
to scrub and run in debt. This policy has
paid me we'll. Husdreds Of farmers never
get a good start. They don't turn waste
into gain, and they won't look after LITTLE
thingS.-E. B., IN Rural Neac Yorker.

WHERE ARE OUR YOUNG F.?

The Chicago WatcInaan gives some
painful facts in regard TO the young men
of one town in Illinois. We trust that
the same could not be said Of many towns.
but it will be well for us to ask how near
Iy the same thing could be said Of our
town. It asserts that ole town contain
ing three thousand young men. on a GER
tain Sunday, had. by actual count, one
hundred and forty young men in atten-
dance at the Protestant churches in the
morning and one hundred and sixty one in
the evening. On the previous evening one
hundred and five young men entered sin
gle saloon in this city in only one hour,
and there were thirty-six saloons open at
the same time. Over forty young men
were brought before the police magistrate
of the city within four months, charged
with misdemeanors. Two hundred and
eleven persons were convicted of crime
during tue year four-fifths of these were
young men. Eighty five prisoners were
lodged in Jail during the year fifty-eight,
or over two-thirds of these were young
men. There are now twenty nine prison
ers in the jail, and twenty-five of these are
young men. Is it not high time that we
were redoubling our efforts to save young
men? Does any one question the impor-
lance and need of work being done for
young men 20

A1TTIFIJL LIyING-Sidney Smith cut

BEAUTIFUL LIVING Sidney Smith cut
the following from newspaper, and pre-
served it for himself 'sWhen you rise in
the morning form the resolution to make
the day happy one to some fellow
creature. 1t is easily done a left off
garment to the man who needs it, kind
word to the sorrowful, an encouraging
expression to the striving-trifies in them
selves as light as air-will do at least
twenty-four hours. And if you are young,
depend upon it, it will tell when you are
old, rest assured it will send you gently
and happily down the stream of time to
eternity. If you send one person, only
one, through each day, that is 365 in the
course Of the year. If you live only forty
years after you commence that course of
medicine, you have made $4,000 beings
happy, at all events, for a time"

To prepare bed for pansies, select a
spot where it is little shady, at least in
the middle of the day. A place entirely
shaded is not desirable. A light soil made
rich with well rotted stable manure will
answer. Seed can be sown any time in
Julyo August to raise strong plants be-
fore winter. Sow the seed in shallow
drills and water lightly. Take little
freshly cut grass and sprinkle it lightly
over the bed as mulch. Watch carefully
for the young plants, and as soon as they
appear arrange the grass to lie between the
rows. When the plants are sufficiently
strong, about an inch high, transplant
them to stand from four to six inches
apart in rows. with the latter ten to
tWelyeS inches apart.

What Happens to Girls.

Thirty-nine girls.
In ten years fifteen will have married.
In ten years seven of the fifteen will
be widows dependent upon their own
exertions for bread and meat.
In ten years fifteen of the remaining
twenty-four will be sleeping beneath the
sod. And how far apart they will be sleep
ing One in Georgia, one in Califor-
mia, one in Ohio, one in Virginia, an
other perhaps, in missionary's grave
in China. another amid ashes of the an
Gent Aztecs Of Mexico, another-but only
time will tell where they all will sleep
In ten years, the nine l have not yet
mentioned will begin to lose their sweet
ness and develop something Of the sour
ness supposed to be inseparable from
women who are destined to be old maids.
In ten years, not one Of the thirty-nine
but that will have tasted of the bitterness
that comes III time to all human beings.
Hope will be blighted. loved ones will be
claimed by that same skeleton you beheld
just now, sorrow in hundred forms will
be experienced, indeed, to every one sur
felt of dead sea fruit will be offered.
A HERO AMONG THE LOATHsOME LIE
PERS.-We regret to hear that the apostle
of the lepers of Molonai is beginning to
pay the penalty of his heroism. Shut away
from all civilized and healthy humanity,
Father Damen has for years been willing
prisoner in the island in which are collect
ed and confined the lepers of all the neigh
boring Sandwich group. For long time
though cut off from the outward world
Father Damen continued in good health
though alone with the dead. But the stroke
has fallen at last. In letter written re-
Gently he says: Impossible for me to &C
any more to Honolulu, on account of the
leprosy breaking out on me. The microbes
have finally settled themselves in my left
leg and ear and one eyebrow begins to fall
I expect to have my face soon disfgured
Having no. doubt myself of the true charac
ter of my disease, feel calm, resigned
and happier among my people. Almight,
God knows my sanctifcation, and will
this conviction say daily good fiat vol
untas tua" Where is the heroism whici
will vie with this.

very generously offered two to three
acres adjoining the cemetery if the town
authorities will open a thoroughfare
through to his line, and further to bind
himself to continue the street to Blair's
woods and sell town lots of one quarter
acre at not more. than $25. Mrs. Nelson
