Money on Farm Mortgages.
Luther .. Green, Inspector of Finance
for the State of Vermont, in his annual re-
port says of Western investments; "Ver-
mont investments In Western mortgages
increased from $1,27s, 39o.63 in 1879 to
81, $40. 470.66 in 1890. The gain In Western
real estate loans last year was $685., "a,
while this year it is $500, S00.34.
The last year has been trying one

learned both by the companies and the

A suit has been entered to test the valid
fly ofthe late senator Ross will, which was
entered for probate at Ottawa, Canada, a
year ago and involves the disposition Of an
estate worth $1,000. 900, the largest private
fortune ever bequeathed In Canada. James

that time was found. and accordingly the
hoirs ut law took possession. These were

Frank Ross, OF Quebec, and the chill

Quebec. A year later, however, In
October, 1850. a duly sigrei Photograph will

of the village, took fire. IL was a

Choosing q Sweetheart.

Choose your sweetheart carefully, wisely
and tenderly, my dear girls, says writer
in "The Ladies' Home JOURNAL" Remem.
Der he is to be more than even this to you
some day-he. is to be your husband, for
surely you are not one Of the girls who have
sweetheart here, and one there, and gives
little love TO this one and little to that
one, until when the real one appears the
perfect bloom is gone from the peach and
she cannot givo him what he offers her,
You girls know very quickly when man
means means more than ordinary friend
ship for you. You have an instinct that
tells you that this big, good-looking fellow
has come sweethearting, and that that is
the time for you to study him little bit.
Think out if his temper and yours are cer-
tain to agree we'll together; think out if his
tastes and yours are alik,, or if they can
grow to be so, for you know, little woman.
if you want to be happy in your married
life, you must learn the great and wonder
ful virtue of adaptability. You must choose
your sweetheart as you do new gown, SO
that he will wear we'll but you want him
longer than for winter; he must last thro'
the long summer days aud through the
winter ones, aud before you put your hand
in his and tell him that you are willing to
fight out the battle of life together. think
it all over and we'll remember that you are
choosing your sweetheart not for day or
a year, but for all through life and, please
God, il you love each other enough, for af-
ter death.

A VOICE FROM THE WEsT.-The foil,

A VOICE FROM THE WEsT.-The follow
ing is the conclusion of an article in the
Kansas City Times of April 19th:-
"Poor deluded, swindled farmer. His
trade is the receptacle out of which every
body takes grab. He must sell where he
can and buy where the trusts and combines,
upheld by the laws of his country, order
him to buy. He must dumbly listen while
his party newspapers tell him that the tar
iff protects him. He is not allowed to
make the tariff. The iron men, glass and
esrthenw ware men, tinplate men and Others
of the same coteris go to Washington and
make out the schedules. The farmer must
take their word that he is protected. He
has a surplus to ssll and to sell it quickly
and at high prices he must have an ex.
change of products. The tariff restricts the
exchange and the Surplus moves slowly.
Mortgages, debts and interest pile up and
still the tariff makers build the barriers
against the sale of his surplus higher and
higher-higher than Henry Clay imagined
in bis widest flights or than the war con.
crosses deemed possible when the country
was spending extra millions every day.
There is one comforting reflection. HUI
man natures endurance has a limit and
even the farmer can rebel against pilfering
legislation. Next fall will teach the repub-
lican leaders of the west that they have
crossed the line of patient endurance"

ONE RESULT OF REPUBLICAN, RULE
England swings the lever that moves ths
trade and wealth of thu world. Even we
have not escaped her inf -encs. She mar
kets the cotton crop of the South, and the
farmers of the North must look to her as
the purchaser of their corn aud wheat.
When we build railroads we borrow money
from London, and wherever we turn we
see the power of British gold, for the terri
tory of England is not her 0,OOO square
miles of island, but the wide sweep OF al
the oceans, three thousand times as great,
and she has known how to gather rich
harvest from their waves. England oc
cupies the position which belongs to the
United States, aud of which the fraud and
robbery of the Republican party have de
prived us. We should be first in these
things as we are i many others, and with
the Democracy at the helm we will yet wir
our rjghtful place.

Tbe proceedings of the next General AS
sembly of the Northern Presbyterian
Church will be watched with worldwide
interest in view of the controversy over the
revision of the Confession Of Faith which
will culminate in that body. What its ac-
tion is likely to be can only be determined
by the Presbyteries that have yet to act on
the question. So far tho revisionists are
considerably in the lead. Of the 212 Pres
byteries that will be represented in the As
sembiy, 156 had voted on the question up
to the close of last week. Of these 156,
ninety-nine favor revision. ffty.two oppose
it, four missionary Presbvteries have de-
clined to vote, and one was tie. If any
thing like the same ratio is maintained
among the remaining fifty six Presbyteries,
the revision will undoubtedly be carried.
Of the large cities of the country Baltimore,
Brooklyn, New York and Washington are
for revision, while Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
San Francisco and Kansas City are against
it.-Lynch. Virgin,an.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Count up the joys and not the pains;
Think not of losses, but of gains
Keep the clouds back; gaze at the sun
Thus life will smoothly with you run.
Our gifts are more than all our blows,
And what is best we know God knows;
And He will send His blessings down,
Some yelled, but all will hide crown.
If we could know the meaning grand
In tears that come from Gods command,
Then sweetly should we take the cross
And count as gain what soems a loss.
Only let US wait and pray,
When out of night will come the day,
And pearls long hid from human sight
VIII crown our brows with holy light.
-Rev. G; d. Bradlee.
