xcept to gossip with equally overworked

except to gossip with equally overworked
neighbors over the fence or seated on the
top rail. Meanwhile the wife, wearicd
for want of rest. goes through the days
drcary round in the house and out OF 1t
for three -fourths of the twenty-four
hours. There is no absolute necessity
for farmer to rise until o'clock at this
season and in the summer. He can
get his stock fed very quickly if every
thing is prepared the day before in the
afternoon or evening, and if he will be
industrious during the day he can get
through all his work in ten hours. Well
managed farm work is the easiest of all
kinds of work. .-M'c Yorh IimeS.

Farmers Who Worry.

1t is said that the average duration of
life among farmers is less than that
among any other of the industrial classes.
and that insanity prevails to the largest
extent in farm houses. 1t was we'll SAID
by the late Henry Ward Beccher (never
to be forgotten for his many wise words)
that sit is not work but worry that
kills" And it is a sad truth that the
farm house is the seat of more worry
than the average dwelling. The artisan,
the clerk and the merchant Of the city
leave their business behind when they 60
to their homes, and the evenings rccrea-
ton or conversation frees the mind from
corroding cares. But the farmer carries
his cares with him, and he may be
known, and his wife, too, by the prevail
ing sadness indicated by the lines and
furrows of their faces. 1t is not easy to
take things easy. But when one can in
ure himself to condition of content
ment, get his work down to system
attic method, and does not try to squeeze
u hours into :, he will find the world
far more joyous and pleasant than he has
thought it, and his troubles will vanish
as a nightmare when one awakes.
There are farmers who have the habit
of rising at or 4 in in the morning.
Early rising may be included in the vices
sometimes. A farmer who leaves his un-
restful bed at such an early hour is a
tyrant to his family. We have known
such men to arouse the household at this
unreasonable hour and then sit by the
fire until daylight mourning over their
hard lot, which compelled them to be
about when other people were enjoying
their rest, Then they would 60 outand
feed the stoci,, and, spending the day ip
this fashion. w.uld do very little work

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct time;
and wonderful and delicate mechanisms are
devised to enable them to do so. But the more
ject it becomes to der ngemcnt, and unless it
be kept always perfectly ri an, it soon loses its
usefulness. Wha wonder, then, that the hu-

the handspring of this complex structure: and
on the Impurities left in the blood by disor-
dered liver, depend most Of the Ills that nesh

of this organ. kinney diseases, skin diseases,

Contempt for American Methods.

LONDON Oct 29.-The Pail Mall Gazette,
writing about she Saekville incident, expresses
tho opinion that the excitement caused by the
letter 10 Americs is largely simulated for polit-
ical effect It regrets that Americans are not
superior to such outbursts of feeling. Except
for the chance Of catching the Irish vote by
abusing England, il thinks that one in Amer
ica would care two straws what Lord Ssckvlls
wrote, said or thought.
The Globe holds that the most satisfactory
denouement OF the incident would be to send
Instructions to Lord Ssckvilie to keep his opin-
ions to himself while at Washington. American
election tactics in it's opinion. are outside the
notice Of any foreign power.
