THE SILENT LIFE.

We lead two lives-the outward seeming fair, And full of smiles that on the surface lie; The other spent in many 6 silent prayer, With thoughts and feelings hidden from the eye The weary, weary hours of mental pain. Unspoken yearuings for the dear ones gone, The wishes half defined, yet crushed again, Make up the silsnt life we lead alone And happy visions we may never show Gfld all the silent life with sweet romance; That they will fade like sunsets clouds we know, Yet life seems brighter for each stolen glance This silent me-we little reck its power To strengthen US for ei her good or i'll, Whether we train our thoughts like birds to soar, Or let them wander whereso'er they will This silent life not those we love may share, Though day by day we strive to draw then
 close; Our secret chamber-none may enter there, Save that one eye that never seeks repose. And if beneath that eye we do not quail. Though all the world may turn from us aside, We own a secret power that shall prevail When every motive of cur life is tried

A Greenhorn in the Market.

"It amazes me-" said business man, ''how quickly tradeslnen will detect a greenhorn. l have never done any marketing in my life, but the other day. when I got through my work at the office early, thought would go down to the markets and do some buying just as a surprise for my wife. We'll, spent two hours making fool of myself l had the greatest difficulty in the world finding what I wanted, and after find ing it was stunned by the outrageous prices which I was asked to pay. l knew that they were outrageous be- cause I had heard my wife quote the price of things until had caught an idea of their average cost.
 ''I went home without buying a cents worth of anything, but took home with me so great respect for my wife's financial ability that told her the whole story, and when she laughed at me took her teazing good naturedly. What surprised me most of all, in fact took my breath away, was that dealers asked of me higher price in the market for squab than pay right along at Del monico's, cooked, dressed, served and all If any one can explain that-to my satisfaction shall acquire as great a respect for him as I now have for my wife's wonderful ability in providing for Q household and paying the bills with so small amount as she asks. ""-New York Tribune.
 An on Horse.
 There are some cases on record of women whose offishness was at least peculiarly troublesome. The wife of the famous Rev. Dr. B. was one of this sort. My dear" said the doctor one day, '''I wish light lunch for seven of the brethren today" Home he came from the Presbytery at noon, with his invited guests, only to find on the din- ing table twenty-five burning candles It was light lunch indeedl On an other occasion he blandly remarked in the old fashioned way: My dear, will you lay a couple of plates for Dr. s. and Dr. H., who will come home with me at 12F' True to the letter, he found two plates laid on the dining table, but the cupboards and pantry locked and his wife gone.
 She led the great preacher a wild life, always pulling ofiishly. It had been the fate of many great men, from Socrates down to the present, to be hitched to off horses. To pull well to- gether is the ideal of married life, and it is not so easily achieved. Is it very wrong to expect the husband to be one of the horses and the driver, too9 Will it be any better if the wife undertake such double duty2 On the whole, is not the true way to dispense with driver and driving altogether and just pull evenly9-Mary E.

this part Of his address with the asser
ton that no tariff rates on agricultural
products can benefit agriculture SO
long as we annually export hundreds
Of millions Of agricultural produce.
He probably never heard that we
import hundreds of millions OF agri
cultural produce most of which might
just as well br grown at home. The
New York Times not long ago con-
tanned a telegram from the barley
growing district Of New York STATE,
saying that barley had j.st doubled
in price on account Of tae Nj kinley
bill. Perhaps the Governor never
heard OF the fifty or sixty millions OF
farm produce sent here across the line
from Canada, every dollars worth OF
which could and should have been
grown on American farms. HIS
denial that the new bill could benefit
the farmer does not take into account
the great beet sugar industry already
springing up under its bene6c-nt
influence. Even wheat and corn,
which are practically the only cereals
we export, are dangerously near the
point where they will need protection
from imports Of foreign grain. The
Milestone Of December, assu1edly
good authority, in speaking Of whea,
supplies, says:
"As the production last year was
almost exactly lUO,OOO,OOO bushels
greater than this year, or one fifth
more. while the export continues
nearly in the same ratio. this country
will either entirely cease exporting
from now until the next harvest, or
be Obliged to impor. for its own con.
sumption-either this or else the crops
have been seriously undervalued."
All reputable authorities are agreed
that the time is near at hand, owing
to the rapid rate at which our con
sumption Of grain is overtaking
production, and the constantly
increasing supplies and decreasing
prices Of wheat from other sources &c
supply the foreign market, when 70,

will be the only guarantee of coed
prices which tho American farmer
will have. III view Of these facts we
cannot help feeling that Governor

American Economist
The speech OF Governor Boies Of
Iowa at the Reform Club banquet on
December 20, was not remarkable
for either originality or depth. The
toast, "Our New Allies in the North
west. What the Farmer Has RICH,
to Demand" was assigned to him,
and his response was merely sue
cint resume Of the free trade argu>
tnents which served for the Demo.
cratic platform in the late campaign
among Western farmers. II is be-
cause tho speech presents such rare
opportunity to study these basic argu-
ments, massed BY single mind and
incorporated into one short speech,
that the Economist singles it out for
special attention. What ills does the
"reformer" see encompassing the
farmer, and how does be propose to
remedy them?
Governor Boies truly pictures the
farmers condition, which is simply
that, owing to low prices, he cannot
get enough money out Of lis land.
He then goes on in an indefnit.
manner to imagine all sorts Of unjust
conditions under which one class is
robbed fox the benefit OF another
class, implying, of course, that the
supposed conditions are present under
our protective tariff, aud that the pro
cess OF accommodating the nations
wealth into the hands of a few, pre-.
sumably the protected manufacturers,
is now going on. Governor Boies has
evidently never studied this matter
out for himself, but seems to have
taken that prince OF demagogues.
Roger Q. Mills, as authority, and
honestly believe That the protected
mill owners are rapidly absorbing the
wealth of the nation. The fact is that
out of the fifty greatest fortunes

than one was made in protected manu-
