Captain ]. C. Nixon has just received q
letter from Captain Jones, commanding
his sealing schooner Allie I. Alger, in
forming him that 1,5l7 skins had been
shipped on the steamer Empress of India
from Japan port where the schooner had
put in for supplies. This letter was writ
ten the latter part of June, and stated that
eight or nine days of fine sealing weather
had been spent looking for one of the hunt
ers who was lost. The crew did not sue
coed in finding him, and they were
greatly worked up over it. Captain
Nixon said he preferred not to make
his name public, as the friends of the lost
man would be troubled, and he hoped that
he might have made his way to an island
in his boat, and thus be saved.
Captain Nixon also received notice
from Vancouver that the skins arrived
there. The freight on them was almost 81
apiece.
Captain Nixon had just returned from a

A Pig Caught In a Sly Trick.

My story is about potato field in "Old
Virginia" 1t had around it "stake-and-
rider fence" The potatoes grew and grew,
in the sunshine, dew and rain. They were
now as big as hens eggs.
The owner of the field saw that something
was wrong with his potato patch. The vines
were torn up, and the potatoes were gone.
But who was the theft By watching, may
be. the robber might be found out.
The farmer hid himself among some bushes.
But he saw nothing except one of his own
little pigs. Piggy was coming slowly, slow
ly along the big road. He was roofing all
the way, and grunting at every step. Did
the pig know where he was goingf
One corner of the fence rested on hollow
log. That log was just like the elbow of q
stove-pipe. One of its ends was outside and
one was inside the potato field.
The sly pig went straight to that log.
With grunt he crawled in at one end of it,
and with another grunt, be crawled out at
the other end, into the field. Then he began
at once TO root up the nice potatoes and to
eat them.
The farmer jumped over the fence. In
trice the bars were put down. There was q
loud call, Here Rover, Rover, seek him, seek
him, sir And the dog chased the thieving
rascal squealing from field.
AHe IdTmtr Salu 10 himself, ii Tx tnlngb
all right" Then he turned the log so that
the elbow was in the field, and both of it's
ends were on the outside. Then the farmer
hid and watched again. Mr.. Piggy came
along a second time. He thought everything
was right. He crswled into the log, once
more. He crawled though it. But he was
still on the outside.
The pig grunted. He lifted up his head.
He looked all around in great surprise. He
wondered what was wrong. Then he grunt-
ed louder, and tried once more
Again he failed. And he failed as often as
be grunted and tried.
The merry farmer laughed loudly at the
wicked and astonished pig.

An Insurmountable Objection.

Although the people in the northern part
of Georgia have the finest soil on earth for
raising vegetables, they stick year after year
to cotton and corn, and import vegetables
at heavy cost. The country Is developing
rapidly, and the manufacturing towns spring.
ing up give an increasing market for all kinds
of the stuff called garden truck; but the
farmers go placidly along In the footsteps of
their fathers and raise cotton and corn,
whether they make money or not.
why don't you plant potatoes ?" said a
recent arrival from the North to farmer
who was complaining about the small profits
of cotton growing.
"Oh, 1 can't raise no pertatoes," said the
man despondently.
"Why not?" persisted the Northerner
'You have lots of land just right for potatoes:
aud you can get 81 bushel for them right
here in town. Why, man alive, you can get
SIS barrel for all you raise"

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Up with the birds in the morning
The dewdrops glow like precious gem;
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
But she's never q moment to look at them;
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
She must not linger, she must not wait;
For words that are sharp and looks that are surly
Are what men give when their meals are late.
To glorious colour the clouds are turning,
Ii she would out look over woods and trees;
But there the dishes and here is the churning,
Those things must always yield to these.
The world is filled with the wine of beauty,
If she could but pause and drink it in;
But pleasure, she says. must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot, and her hands grow weary;
oh for an hour to cool her head,
Out with the birds and the wind so CHEEKY;
But che must get dinner and bake the bread
The busy men in the bayfield, working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think 1t lazy, and call her Sinking,
And she could never make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime;
They only know that they want their dinner
Plenty of it-and '.just in time"
And after the sweeping and churning and baking
And dinner dishes are all put by,
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and "chores" draws nigh.
Her boys at school must look like others.
She says, as she patches their frocks and hose; ;
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of children's clothes.
Her husband comes from the field of labor,
He gives no praise to the weary wife;
She's done no more than has her neighbors.
TITS the lot of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest.
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters shall call her blest.
And think the sweetest joy Of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life.
And the fairest crown of all will be given
Unto the wayworn farmers wife.

The Spirit Moved Her.

Antoinette Sterling, the well known con-

moving any one to speak, Mime. Sterling got
up and sang. Singing is unheard of in Quak-

without interruption. Afterward one of the
elders approached her and said "Thee
knowest, sister, that 1t is against the rules, but
