his cries save the mocking echoes of the
wood, and still he kept sinking deeper
and deeper and deeper.
A moment more and all would have
been over with the forlorn boy, and those
few feet of mud and marsh water would
have changed the whole future history of
England. But all at once lusty shout
answered his last despairing cry for help,
tall figure broke through the encircling
bushes, and just as the boys strained
fingers relaxed their hold, two strong
hands clutched his wrists, and he felt
himself dragged up out of that deadly
quagmire on to the firm ground above.
"Well donel" said his rescuer (who
was no other than the clergyman of the
parish), after hearing the history OF the
boys adventure as they walked bomeward
together. "He who could peril his life
for stray lamb may one day, like Da-
vid of old, be a shepherd of Gods peo.
ple."
The parsons prophecy came true thirty
years later, when Oliver Cromwell
became the shepherd and champion ofthe
oppressed people of Eugland.-Dauid

1t is, of course, impossible at this date
to estimate with any degree of certainty
the yield Of corn in any aeld, but the
opinion Of old and experienced farmers
certainly furnish a criterion on which to
predicate q calculation, and the yield of
the field has been variously estimated at

has been produced at cost of ten and

ing it off in March, and also omits'apply-
ing the fertilizer and planting of the
corn; but not having kept q diary ofthat
work, it is thought best to omit it, and
simply estimate that the net value Of the
peas and fodder grown with the corn
will be full compensation therefor, though
It will be readily seen by those conver-
SAINT with the subject that liberal margin
would appear over and above said cost.
"A fair estimate of yield of fodder from
the corn described would not be less than
300 pounds, and of peas, with average
seasons, six bushels, but estimating it at
200 pounds for the former and three
bushels for the latter, at value of rs
cents for each, gives us So. 25, the net
value of Which will far exceed the cost of
preparing the soil, and will leave mar
gin of So, which if applied to credit of
the corn would reduce its cost even below
ten cents.

DEATH BEGINNING AT THE LUNGS

in which cases it takes place rapidly, or
in congestion or pneumonia, when it is a
more gradual process. In neither in

pEATHBEp EXPERIENCES.


I have seen a great many people die,
some of them great sinners, even rufians
of the most degraded type, and I have
never yet witnessed in any case the
slightest fear of death or a hereafter. 1
have also been present at the deathbeds
of many pious and worthy persons and I
have never known an instance among
this class of the least adherence Of death
or apprehension in regard to the future.
A person in sound health receiving intel.
ligence that his death is to take place in
few moments would undoubtedly at
first be greatly disturbed, and jfreligious.
ly brought up would probably wish to
make preparations for departing this life.
But the case is very different with those
who have suffered from long illuess and
whose perceptions therefore have lost their
sharpness. 1 have often told such per.
sons that they had but a few minutes to
live, but the intelligence has never been
received in any other than the most
composed and resigned manner. Ger.
tainly this a wise provision of nature.
For if, as with his present knowledge it
is impossible for man to escape death, it
is we'll that he is so constituted as to be
able to accept the inevitable with dignity
and composure.

From the 81. Louis Post. Dispatch.

Ftona the Sc. Louis Post. Dispatch.
It is only necessary to see person die
to Be convinced that SO fat from being
4 painful process the act Of death israth:
er pleasant than otherwise. The physical
phenomena that lead up to the departure
Of vitality from the body are often char
acterized by great suferings. There may
bepain, sufocating due to the irregularity
in the action of the heart and lungs, and,
above all, intense mental anguish. But
when death begins all feeling of discom-
fort in mind or body disappears; pain, in
whatever part it may be situated, ceases
to be perceived; the heart may beat with
still greater irregularity, the lungs fail
still more notably to perform their func'
tions; nothing has happened to dissipate
the fear or remorse or sorrow that have
harassed the dying person, but the per.
ceptions, the intellect, the emotions, the
will are blunted and no longer respond to
excitations that formerly moved them.
Death, as we see in persons Who have
suffered from more or less protracted ILL
ness, is not generally an act that is
accomplished in few moments Of time.
II may even last for several hours, during
which period the vital forces are e1tin.
guished little by little, so gradually in
fact that We are not able to determine
the exact instant at which life becomes
extinct.
