THE DUTIES OF LIFE.
Whatever They May Bo. They should Be
Chocrfully Performed.

Ch0Ortully PERFORMED
Every life has its purposes for being.
That these are not always fulfilled, only
argues the blindness and recreancy Of the
one who 10 content to exist, not live, in the
best sense Of the term. Not plant that
springs from the bosom OF the earth but
fuliills some part in the design OF creation,
and since this rule applies to the most insig>
nidcant Of carth's objects, with what reason
or sense can man hope to cvadc the uni.
vcrsal respon sibility? To merely exist is
not 70 live; it is to caricature and belittlo
the very name Of life. To live IL 10 be liv.
ing, active force in the worlds destiny, and
whether one be . great or humble factor In
what his time accomplishes, factor he
must be, il he would not travesty the very
idea Of living. All men are not endowed
with equal faculties; all can not DO flaming
lights Of honor upon the worlds highway;
each can, within the limitations which the
Creator has imposed, contribute to the IL
lumining of the road. The tallow dip per-
forms Its allotted part as thoroughly as does
the lighthouse; either one could not be sub
stituted for the other. and II the hcadiand
beacon attracts moro attention than does
the feeble taper, it but fulfills it's mioIlon,
which the other does equally well. All can
noo W Oc0Sohss 0A HccO Hub uC uutuUic
tapers; but whether fitted for beacon OF
taper, there Is part TO be performed By
each life, and the fact Of real living or Of
merely dailying out an existence is deter
mined by the performance. He only lives
whose life means something accomplished
and something in process of accomplish
mcnt. The life of the humblest blade OF
grass growing upon the hillside is nobleI
than that Of the man whose days have been
purp0selcss. Farm and Preside.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
ABOUT DRAINAGE,

Some Valuable Hints ON m lmp0rtan,
Subject.
in answer to queries propounded or
drainage, Mr.. Chamberlain, an authority
on such matters, answers in the County
Gentleman as follows:
How TO FIND AND KEEP GRADE.-The
mains should follow the natural depres
6ions where the water runs of upon the
surface in wet times, Of course straight
cning the crooks somewhat. II there is
a regular slope like the roof Of a house,
only not so steep, tho mains should take
tho place Of the caves troughs, and the
laterals, II any, should run straight
down the slope as nearly as may be. Ii
the fall is very slight, 1t may need .
field leyeling instrument to lay out the
system. But usually very wet time IL
the best to locate drains. A furrow
plowed then by the eye will work Its
own grade or show ii.
How TO DIa THE DITcHEs.-If you
have not ditching machine use heavy
breaking pillow and strong team to throw
out tho first eight or ten inches, only
drive straight. II possible dig when
there Is just enough moisture down deer
to ooze slowly into the bottom Of the
ditch as you dig. Begin the spade.
digging at the outlet and work along uI
the mains and laterals. The water will
show the level. Permit no dips or de.
pressions. Dig as narrow and true as
possible to the required depth and
groove the bottom Of the ditch with q
bottoming scoop OF size adapted to the
tiles used. This and the ditching spades,
at least, you should have for three thou
sand feet Of thing. usually establish
the grade pretty nearly with the plow.
blowing deeper through knobs and
shallower through dcprcssions. and
then dig two or three depths of the
spade according to the depth required,
keeping the spade at the same anglo al
the time and thrusting it full depth
each time. This preserves the grade.
It takes true eye. elf you have not one

LITTLE oR1NDMoThER.
She Was Always Knitting and Countin
tho At1trhNa.

She Was Always Knitting and Counting
tho stitches.
Matte Bigelow was called Little
Grandmother" because no one ever saw
her in the daytime without her little
French cap or ball OF yarn and knitting
needles. And she was always knitting
and counting stitches.
II any one asked her a question she
was just as likely to say: .'One, two.
three, four, fivc-in minute, please:"
and after answering, she would COM
mence again: six, seven, eight" and
so on.
Matte lived near the great Missis-
sippi river. In the spring, when the
freshcts came and the river overlooked
its banks, Mr.. Bigelow would often
have to move his furniture and family
before the flood came.
One day Mattie's father and mother
went away from home, leaving her in
charge Of her little brother Stephie,
who was only three years old.
There had been some signs Of fresh
ct. but as Mattie's father expected to be
back in an hour or two, he did not think
there was any danger In leaving Matte
and Stephie in the house.
Several times on their way back Mr..
and Mrs. Bigelow were told that the
river had risen suddenly. When they
got near home they found their house
surrounded by water, which was up
nearly to the second-story window.
Mr.. Bigclow got skiff and padded
over TO the house, and before he got to
the window he heard somebody saying:
lone, two, three. four-don't cry.
Stephie: five, six, seven, eight-papa
will soon be here; nine, ten, eleven,
twelve-be good boy"
1t was Matte counting stitches and
watching over her little brother.
When her father called her to the
window and lifted her and Stephie into
the skiff, Matte said:
Thirteen. fourteen, fifteen, sixteen

without Employment Lilo Would be One
Long span of Woarincsa
God pat Adam in the garden of Eden ITO
dress it and to keepit. Herein He recog-
nized, even in the earthly paradise, the uni
versal law Of work-cmployment for hand
and brain. Doubtless this law will prevail
even In the celestial paradise. Without EN-
ployment eternal life would be eternal
WEAKNESS.
Tho late fearful disaster in the Cone
mauyh valley left the survivors bcreft Of
homes, famii,es, friends, property and hope.
When outside helpers organized the stricken
multitude and set them 70 work, reporters
for tho press wcrc struck with the immcdi-
ate change for the better III look and tone
and bearing.
In any great calamity, whether impcnd.
ing or already como, nothing is so helpful as
elgrossing employment. Men working At
the pumps to save, If possible, tho sinking
ship, do not suffer IN a tenth part ~ much
as these who stand gazing in the face of
death. No bloody encounter OF the battle
field equals in horrible experience the posi-
ton Of the line which must simply hold its
ground without returning the firc Of the
enemy.
Next to the abiect poor we may pity the
inheritors Of vast wealth, who are too often
without stimulus TO cxertion. and indeed are
often excluded from it by foolish social no
tons. Amuscments form q sorry subs,i-
tuto for actual employment for they soon
lose their mower to please. Tho great mid
die class enjoys the blessed reaction OF regu-
lar, adequate work, and their children are
to be pitied il their fathers industry dooms
them to = life Of ldieness.
MANY r,argays sNhno0 Ynin1a far Sx.ant of
wholesome activity, have fallen into an ua-
healthy state, have been saved from mean
ity or suicide, through the calling out Of
their sympathies In behalf of others Such
work is the more helpful in that II brings
into play the best part of ones nature, the
part most happy in its reflex influence.
Not few successful men retire from
business at . comparatively early age to en-
JOY, as they term it, q period Of rest. Such
men generally make . sad mistake. Their
enjoyment Is not half what 1t was before,
and they are fortunate il the tendency of
the brain to shrivel with years be not sad

activity.
John Quincy Adams kept at his post in
Congress to the last, not because of politi-
cal ambition NOR on account Of pecuniary

retain As long aspossible his power TO work.
