HOW FARMERS ARE DUPED.

"No, you can't come any O. your
lodges on me-" said a grangerfed
passenger, as the man with the big,
iinggling ring full of bus checks ac-
costed him with the enquiry if he
was going any farther than Chicago.
"You can't play me for a sucker, I
tell you. I've had my eye-teeth cut

ming rods put upon my place, every
one of which cost me seven prices.
I've been stuck on Bohemian oats,
Russian oats, Australian oats, hull

Chief wheat, red line wheat and all
o them things. The last man who
caught me on this scheme said he
represented big company and that
he was only allowed to sell ten bus
hels to one farmer at $40 bushel.
Bimeby he came around and said
he'd sell me fifty bushels on the
sly for cash, providin' I'd sign an
agreement not to tell on him. He
said he'd taken a-liken' to me an
would just as soon see me get rich
as his own father. I took the fifty
bushels, paid him $500, and signed
the agreement. Three months later
found that agreement in the bank

COMPENSATION.

In that new world toward which our
feet are set
Shall we find aught to make our hearts
forget
Earth's homely joys and her bright hours
of bliss?
Has heaven spell divine enough for
this?
For who the pleasure of the spring shall
tell,
When on the leaness stalks the brown
buds swell,
When the grass brightens, and the days
grew long,
And little birds break out in ripping
song?
o sweet the dropping eve, the blush of
morn,
The starlit sky, the rustling fields of
corn,
The soft airs blowing from the freshen-
ing seas,
The sun-hecked shadow of the stately
trees,
The mellow thunder and the lulling
rain,
The warm, delicious, happy summer
rain,
When the grass brightens, and the days
grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping
song?
Oh beauty manifold, from morn till
night,
Dawns flush, noon's blaze, and sunsets
tender light
o fair, familiar features, changes sweet
OF her revolving seasons, storm, and
sleet,
And golden calm, as slow she wheels
through space
From snow to roses and how dear her
face,
When the grass brightens, when the
days grow long,
And little birds break out in ripping
song
0 happy earth o home SO well below
ed
What recompense have we, from thee
removed ?
One hope we have that overtops the
whole
The hope of finding every vanished soul
We love and long for daily, and for this
Gladly we turn from thee, and thy bliss,
Even at thy loveliest, when the days are
long,
And little birds break out in ripping
song.

YOUNG AMERICA.

One day as L sat In a car seat on
the Saugus branch of the Eastern
Road behind a pale, careworn lady
who was taking a little boy from
Boston to Maiden. AS the little
boy was of an inquiring turn Of
mind and every thing seemed to at
tract his attention, could not help
listening to some of his questions.
"What is that, auntie?" the little
boy commenced, pointing to stack
of hay on the marsh.
"Oh, that's hay, any DEAR" an
swered the care worn lady.
"What is hay, auntie?"
"Why, hay is hay, dear
"But what is hay made of ?"
"Why, hay is made of dirt and
water and air"
"Who makes it?'
"God makes it, dear"
"Does he make it in the day time
time or in the night?"
'In both, dear"
"And Sundays ?"

"Ain't it wicked to make hay on

"Oh, don't know. I'd keep still

After remaining quiet a moment
little Willie broke out

wicked lady.
"Can the moon lay eggs, too ?'

Another short interval when Will

"Benny says oxins is an owl,

"Oh, perhaps so p
81 think a whale could lay an egg
don't you auntie?"
"Oh, yes-I guess So" said the
shameless woman.
"Did you ever see a whale on his

"Oh, 1 guess So"
"Where ?"

And the lady pointed her finger
sharply at the little boy, as if she
were going to stick it through him.
If she had been wicked woman
she would have sworn.

TWO STRANGE MEETINGS,

They met first in the oldest way.
She was standing at the approach
of the suspension bridge in a bitter,
binding snow storm.
Her umbrella was inside out, her
wrap had broken from its fastenings
and was flying in the wind the icy
breezes and fine particles of snow
were whistling up her sleeves, while
her bonnet and hair were in a white
feathery tangle, becoming momenta-
rily more pronounced as the fierce
blizzard swept across it from the
river.
She was trying hard to keep her.
self together, looking despairingly
around the while for some means of
getting across. the terrible bridge in
safety.
What could he do?
He was not the man to look un-
moved upon such picture of dis
tress, especially such a pretty pic
ture, For she was pretty.
A petite, compact figure, with un-
mistakable evidences of refinement
in every curve and outline ; bright,
dancing eyes, all the brighter in
contrast with the glowing red cheeks;
a small, firm mouth, and a chin alb
solutely trembling in its soft nest of
feather trimming.
He took in all these details at a
glance, saw that she was in real
trouble, stopped, and said :
"You had better wait for a street
car. You cannot walk across the
bridge this morning There is a
blast coming up the river that cuts
like a million knives"
81 cannot help it. 1 have to be
at the depot at nine o'clock, and
there are no street cars in sight,
was the breathless reply as she
struggled with her unruly umbrella.
He took the umbrella from her,
and as he forced it into the proper
shape, said;
"Then you had better let me pilot
you across"
She saw a tall, handsome, brown
bearded fellow, the bronzed cheeks
tinted with a rosy hue that indicat-
ed the lover of outdoor life.
She saw that the bronzed face had
a kindly, honest expression, and as
a proof that her inspection had re
suited satisfactorily, she put hel
daintily gloved little hand on his
arm and said, quietly;
"Thank you "
So he held the umbrella to wind
ward, and with the compact little
figure tucked away under his arm
and the wind hooting and groanins
his disappointment as it tried t.
get under and around the umbrella
at the dainty bonnet and hair still
in a tangle, he pushed boldly acros
the bridge, with his heart humping
a sympathetic accompaniment t.
the pattering feet of his companion,
Then as he handed her the um
brella and raised his hat, she said
! "Thank you very much for you

DANGERS In AFRICA.

"The most dangerous savage foes
we have to fear," says Mr.. Stanley,
"are the crocodile, hippopotamus
