He sat in the door at monday, lonely and gloomy and sad; brood ing over the price of his corn crop, and figuring how much he had. He had worked from earl y spring-time. early and late and hard and now he was counting his assets and iigur- ing out his reward. He figured that it took two acres to buy his two boys new boots, and ten acres more on top of this to lit them out with new suits. To buy his wife a protected dress took 100 bushels more, while five acres went in a solid lump for the carpet on the floor. His taxes and his grocery bill absorbed his crops of oats, while the interest on his farm mort gage took all his fattened shoats. The shingles for his COW sheds and the lumber for hlS barn, had eaten up his beef steer and the balance of his corn. So he sat in his door at monday, lonely and gloomy and sore, as he figured up his wealth little less than it was the year before. By gum, they say I'm protected, but l know there IS something wrong; Eve been de- ceived, and gulled, and hoodwinked bv this high protection song, They told of rebellious traitors and held up the bloody rag, and l followed along like pumpkin, and now I'm holding the bag.

HARD WORK NEVER KILLS.

Much complaint is made about hard work. As regards physical health and comfort it is blessing, for which those sharing it should be thankful. The equilibrium of both mental and physical health can only. as rule, be kept up hy labor and exercise, and the use of medicines IS of no avail without their employ ment. To be fully occupied through necessity is to be equipped against the many temptations that bcsct our pathway. Especially is this valua- are prevented from cultivating ex- peusive habits, which can not easily be changed in more advanced years. The person without having daily la Dor to perform is next to man with out country; there is no place he can call his own. Wealth can not prevent his being a burden to him self as we'll as his surroundings he is welcomed by few and honored by none. That inward glow which is the reward of honest labor is to him a stranger. and he pays the penalty of his derelictions ini poor health and sleepless nights. Unless golden dol lars purchase an outward show there are none to do him reverence.
 Honest and persistent effort is the only road to success. Questionable expedients and dishonest transac- tions may work for awhile, and be seemingly successful, but in the end such generally are engulfed either in monetary or mental bankruptcy. Look over your long list of acquain- tances, examine their lives, and you will find the truth of this statement cxcmplllicd.- Ex.

A LOST LOVE.

There were tears in Gerty's s Deans eyes as she turned her face away from Robert Clare.
 After all these months have you no kind word to say to mel" she asked, sadly. "I believe you have become tired of me"
 Well, to tell the truth" said Clare, rather rudely, II have been mingling with intelligent people lately, and after taste of cham pagne, it's hard to come down to cold water again"
 II know l am not intellectual, " she said wistfully, but I try to read q great deal for your sake"
 Well dear, we cant expect a canary to sing like nightingale. Now run into the house and get me a cup of tea"
 Gerty obeyed, only half con yinced. She made up her mind to break off her engagement, since he found the bonds burdensome.
 So that very day, as he was dreaming over book in the orchard she stood before him and resolutely handed hi mher engagement ring.
 Robert" she said, II have been thinking the matter over, and I be- lieve that we would better to sep arate.'
 "Gerty!' he exclaimed. in amaze mcnt.
 Here's the engagement ring, Robert" said she. ''Please don t attempt to argue the point, for noth- ing will induce me to change my mind"
 He accepted the tiny blue token reluctantly.
 You will remember, Gerty," said he, "that this is your own doing"
 II shall not forget it, " said she.

"Ill be as punctual as the clock, " said Robert Clare, with sparkling eyes and heightened color. And he kept his word. "Coombe Valley, eh? said he, glancing at the railway tickets in his friends hand. "What. It cant be possible, l was boy there. 1 know everyone in Coombe Valley. v
 Then, perhaps, you know this lady?"
 Clare shook his head.

 "les," said Wayne, it is the old Deane mansion, and here is your un- known correspondent, the authoress of "A Lost Love- coming to welcome us.

 "Phil. what an unciviIized savage you are" said she. And l have not even spoken to Mir. Clare"
 But Mir Clare stood transtixed in sort of incredulous surprise.
 "Gerty!' cried he. "Gerty Dcane :"
 She inclined her head, with a rougish dimple in either cheek.
 Yes" cried she; "Gerty Deane. Oh, you never dreamed that you were corresponding with me, did you: For Phlls sister copied all my letters and posted them from town, and Phil didn't object, and"
 But what business was it of MT, Wayne's?" rather haughtily de- handed Robert Clare.

1t is difficult to decide sometimes whether
the Hon. Henry W. Blair of New Hamp-
shire is sincere and genuine crank or only
make-believe crank. He said a great many
cranky things when his educational bill was
before the House and in way that led the
puDhc 10 pelieve that there was no Hypocrisy
or humor about him; that as crank he was
all wool and yard wide. But when In the
senate OF the United States Mr.. Blair moved.
as he did on Monday, that the United States
oil America request England to dismantle
her Notifications and learn war no more. he
so far exceeded the ability of the ordinary
crank TO evolve nonsense as to leave the sus-
plcion that Mr.. Blairis not crank at all but
titanic jester who had been firing Jokes at
tue American people for years past, and
slyly laughing in his sleeve to see them take
MIN seriously. The Senate of the United
states seems to have caught on" to some
such suspicion on Monday for instead of ad-
1ourniDg to the cloak rooms as they did when
ne delivered his educational serial they sat
ana laughed, occasionally firing inter
ioea1ories at the Senator designed to
. Dans OUT more jokes We are inclined to
Junk mat this latter view of Senator BIair

accident should happen or a fire should

form In which the proposition comes. There
is a cat under the meal they say. Mr.. Levi
e. Wade is not himself but somebody else,
and who that somebody else is seems to be
tolerably well known. Suppose Mr.. Wade
is working in the interest of some great rail
road corporation. Is 1t not more reasonable to
assume that the Knox 81 Lincoln will at least
be kept up to its present condition when it is
division of great railroad system than
when 1t is a small single line? And is it not
reasonable to assume that an accident or
fire destroying much property and entailing
heavy expense can be better taken care of
by single corporation than by heterogen.
eous collection of municipalities acting as in
dividual bond holders? fa
The city of Portland has demonstrated
twice within the memory of men now liy-
ing" the difference between a railroad when
owned by cities and when it is in the hands
of single individuals or when run as diyi-
sion of great system. The very towns
owning the Knox 6 Lincoln themselves
have in this very matter shown how breth-
rem do not always dwell together in unity,
and If this proposition had been to bridge
the Kennebec or to double-track the road,
instead Of to sell it, what would the result
have been? 1t is grievous mistake for
town or city in its corporate capacity to own
railroads. If any such property is unloaded
on town that town cannot too quickly dis
pose OF it. Cash in the town treasury Is
worth infinitely more than piece of proper
ty that may bring In $4,000 a year, or may
pile up double that amount in debt.

change of frtnt on the part of the towns that
voted no to the proposition for the sale of the
road to the Wade syndicate. The cities and
towns which voted yes are assumed to be
thoroughly committed to the disposal of the
property either by sale or lease, and are not,
therefore, much troubled by the meeting.

The Herald is right. 1t is difficult to con-

England, than to drive the Canadian rail-
roads out OF this country. The business
which now comes from these roads to our
ports would inevitably go to Halifax and

Halifax. The policy of the Dominion gov.
