IRVING COLLEGE.

Irving College, Oct. 16-It is now
only about 20 days till the election,
and the outlook is still favorable for
Democracy. Isn't it about time those
Democratic Clubs are being organized
in the districts where they have none,
and arrangements made for speak
ings? We would like to hear from
the Chairman of the County EXecu-
tive Committee, and know whether
he can send us a speaker or two and
when. Democrats should sleep very
little nights and none in day time till
the 9th day of November. There is
no time nor votes to be lost. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty" and
it is the worst sort of idleness for
Democrats to sit and talk of the faith
lessness of public servants. Go to
work and elect men that will be
faithful and vigilant.

Those Funny Collegians.

The idea of 80 joke" entertained by
the college youth of the period affords
a cur Gus commentary upon the sense
of humor and the estimate of sport
among these callow culture-seekers.
The old-stylc hazing and class rushes
at Cornell appear to have given place
to attempts on the part of the two low
est classes to steal each others dinners,
kidnap their respective Presidents. alb
duct the toast-master chosen for the
class festivities, and otherwise to mar
or destroy each others enjoyment of
the harmless diversions of college life.
The originality Of these practical
jokes is only equalled by their exqui-
site humor and refinement. They are
quite up to the hilarious sport of pull
ing ones chair away as he is about to
sit down or putting pepper on the stove
as the school pumpkins at Waybaci
used to do forty years ago when they
dared TO be as funny as they could.
Spo ling or stealing a dinner or lock
ing up II class officer or speaker is way
ahead of putting bent pins on the
benches or smoking out" "Freshy." "
Cornell must be nest of mad young
wags. If they do not laugh at eacl

A Word to the Bows.

A writer in the American Boy says:
Farmer boys, YOU need not envy the
Young men who stand behind the
counters of the city stores. You need
not envy the Young men who are max
ING ready to take the places OF the
army of lawyers and pettifogers who
are subsisting by the litigatons of
ouarrelsome clients. And certainly you
ought not to envy the boys who have
no employment at all those who are
growing up to manhood without ac-
curing industrious habits upon which
to rely in times of great need and press
ing emergencies, whose idleneSs invites
to temptations which so often lure to
mental and bodily ruin Your clothes
may be so finely spun and made as
those of the city boys, but you are the
peers of them all, with your bronzed
faces and horny hands, however preten
tious their employments. Your business
is one which ante dates every vocation
in the world. The farmer was blowing
and reaping his harvest long before the
merchant lawyer or doctor was known
and he still stands foremost at the
gates whence issue TO the millions OF
the world the steady never ia ling
streams of righteousness and life. A
generation or 50 ago the brightest boys
of the farmers family were assigned
to the professions The dull fellows
sent to the fields. Nowadays different
order of things prevails. Once the idea
was popular that only muscular strength
was necessary on a farm-the strength
to guide pillow, to weld an axe, hoe
or a ythe-the endurance TO go
through the sweltering tasks of summer,
or the exposed duties of winter. These
important requisites given. BOBBY
might fill the place just as well as any
one else. So some folks used to think.
but what say you working farmer boys?
Do you not place higher estimate
upon your skill, and upon the value of
your servicesp Look up then. and vim
dictate yourselves. You are getting
health and strength from the wholesome
exercise OF the fields. and that you may
have the necessary intelligence to COM
bine with this strength for the proper
prosecution of your calling apply your
selves diligently to acquiring knowledge
whenever respite from labor shall give
| YOU the opportunity.

YOUNG FOLKS CORNER.
NOBODY ELSE.

Two little hands, so careful and brisk,
Putting the tea.things away:
While mother is resting awhile In her

For she has been busy all day.
And the dear little fingers are working for
love,
Although they are tender and wee.
'1'll dot 50 nicely, she says to herself
There's nobody else, you see."
Two little feet just scampering upstairs,
For daddy will quickly be here;
And his shoes must be ready and warm

Then she must climb on chair to keep
watch,
HE cannot come in without me.
When mother is tire l. open the door
There's nobody else, you See"
Two little arms round daddy's dear neck,
And soft, downy cheek 'gainst bis
own;
For out of the nest, so cosy and bright
The little one S mother has flown.
She brushes the teardrops away as she
tn nks.
"Now he ha, no one but me.
mustn't give way tat would make him
SO sad
And there's nobody else you see. "
Two little tears on the pillow, just shed,
Dropped from the two pretty eyes;
Two little arms stretched out in the dark,
Two little faint sobbing cries.
"DaGdy forgot | was always walked up
When he whispered good night to me.
0 mother, cone back just to kiss me in
bed
There S nobody else, you see."
Little true heart, If mother can look
Out from her home in the skies,
She will not pass on to her haven of rest
While the tears dim her little ones eyes.
If God has shed sorrow around us just
now,
Yet His sunshine is ever to be;
And He is the Coz. fort Of every one s pain
There's nobody else, you see.
