grave error the other day which they

SUNSHINE LAND.

Yellow Is gold in the morning light;
The suns own color at noon it wore
And had faded not at the fall of night;
Clear weather or cloudy-twas all as one,
The happy hills seemed bathed with the sun,
Its secret the sailors could not understand,
But they called this country Sunshine Land.
What was the secret.-a simple thing

Touched by the tender finger OF spring,
A million blossoms were all aglow;
So many, so many, so small and bright,
They covered the hills with mantle of light
And the wild bee hummed, and the glad
breeze famed,
Through the honeyed fields of Sunshine
Land.

Of the thoughts most encouraging
20 the farmer in the heat snd labor of
the field is that what he does IS the es-
sential thing for human progress. No
people can be civilized unless they are
well fed. In improving his farming, in
making his land, flocks and herds more
productive, the farmer is laying deep
the foundation on which everything
else is built. The prosperity of the
nation depends upon the farmer, and in
no country in the world is this more true
than in the United States. The bulletins

The rush for tickets for Minnie Palmer,
yesterday morning, was little ahead o.
anything of the kind seen in this city fol-
long time past. A number Of district
messenger boys aud others were up all
night, in order to have an assurance oi
leading places in the line for their EN-
ployers, and at eight o'clock, when the
sale commenced, there was long line Of
people in waiting. The demand was
brisk from the start, and al
ten o'clock there were but two seats
down stsirs, for Friday night, unsold, A
little later these were gone, and then the
gallery was put on sale. There was like
wise q good enquiry for seats for the matt.
nee and Saturday night, and by evening
many of tho best seats were taken for each
of these performances. The speculator was
on hand, as he generally is when there is Q
good thing in sight, and many seats
changed hands during the day at prices
very much larger than those exacted at the
box Office. As high as two dollars and a
half were paid for choice seats for Friday
night.
Though all the seats down stairs for Fri
day night are gone, Miss Palmer's admir-.
era. which seemingly includes everybody,
need not despair. The seats in the gallery
are comfortable and cheap, and can be
bought to-day. Besides this, the same
play, "My Brothers. Sister," will be given
at the matinee Saturday. and some of the
best seats in the house remain unsold for
that performance. At the matinee all the
ladies will be presented with handsome
souvenirs. Saturday evening, in my
