Happiness on the Farm.
Louis0urg Times.

Louisourg Times.
A prosperous farmer was in the Office
of an exchange recently, discussing the
events OF the past year, the financial
panic, the unexampled business depres-
sion, the industrial unrest and the
progress of a rebellion against the GOV
ernment, which, if not arrested, would
end in civil war. "Well, he said, as he
arose to 60, II am going back to my
farm and let the old world go its own
gait. l am happy there. Nothing
disturbs me. In the worst year that
can come I will have plenty to support
my family. I will have my books and
papers and know what is going on out
side. but | am safe. Panics and trade
revulsions do not affect me at all, and
even revolution would hardly disturb
me in my quiet nook" Now, bright
people have been cudgeling their brains
to make out picture OF the future
Utopia. But is there anything, even
in the dreams of Visionarles, that is
much nearer to condition of material
happiness than this? Hardship and
struggle are there and everywhere. Life
without struggle would be worthless.
But there also is Independence, and
with frugality, absolute assurance
against future distress. 1t would be an
untold blessing if armies of the unem-
ployed and of the unfortunate could be
transplanted to the farm.

ii he knew the meaning of that emblem
he replied that he did, and that Chris
tiani.y was the origin of the care and
comfort which they received.
These men came from various prov
inces, and when they go home VIII tell
that instead of torture and death at the
hands of their foes they had expe-
rienced such kindness and attention as
could not have been received among
their own people. The story of such
treatment cannot but be helpful in
opening the hearts of the people
toward all foreigners, and thus prepar-
ing them to receive the teachings of
Christ. And thus while war is q
scourge to bs dreaded, and the suffering
and death of thousands the penalty to
be paid, yet God is evidently overrullng
all for the spread OF his kingdom and

Mystery Of Seed terminating.

New York Independent.
1t has been long a mystery why seeds
vary in their time of terminating.
Though sown at one time, all from the
same package, all at an equal depth
beneath the surface-and indeed with
every condition exactly the same
many days, and in some cases weeks,
will elapse between the appearance OF
some plants and others. Indeed, in
the case of some trees one half the
seeds may perhaps grow in the spring
of the year, while the other half will
lie over in the ground till the following
spring before growing.
Some explanation OF this has recently
been made by the Agricultural Science.
The more near maturity a seed may be
before it is gathered or falls from the
parent, the longer time it requires for
terminating A German experimenter,
NJ. Hotter, used for the purpose barley
taken just before fully matured, and
barley taken from the same storing.
The earlier matured seed sprouted in
three days, while it took ten days for
fully ripe seed, and thirty days for
plants to appear from seed that had
matured by storage. It is thought
that more sugar is formed during ma
turitv. and it Is to this and not mere
questions of heat and moisture that the
facts are to be referred.

MANHOOD.

Not till life's heat has cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace
And every purblind passion that had
our nOlsler years at last
Spurs us in vain and, weary of the
race,
We care no more who loses or who
All, not till all the best of life seems
The best of life begins.
TO toll for only fame,
Hand c1applngs and the tickle gusts of
praise,
For place or power Or gold to gild a
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose
our days,
We on whose ears youths passing bell
has tollod
In blowing bubbles, even as children
do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope Of trivial gain that ruled US
lies
Broken among our chiIdhood's toys,
for then
We win to self control
And mail ourselves IN manhood, and
there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night.

''The American Society Young Man.

Norfolk Virginaan.
It is not belief that the American
young man in society is inferior in any
respect to the young man of like elias.
in Paris or Rome, and yet society
young man of New York makes the as
sertion, that because he is inferior is q
reason why 80 few very rich American
girls marry American young men. He
makes the statement that young women
in wealthy society seldom or never
meet young Americans, except of their
own set, and that "stalwart, self-made
and successful young men in that set
are not common"
Now just why this American society
young man should suffer in comparison
with young men of the same class OF
Europe Is not altogether clear. The
theory advanced by the young Ameri-
can, is that the European man has
made study of manner all his life and
he charms the young woman OF dollars
by his commences and refinement
which is lacking In the young society
man OF America This may be true in
some cases, but as a rule it Is not SO.
The young American reared in polite
society is the peer OF all others In gra-
ciousness of manner, and it is unfair to
that class Of American young men to
say otherwise.
It may be that the society girl meets
only society men as rule, and that
they are rarely brought IN contact with
the men who are great and useful and
famous, but 1t is not true that the soci-
ETY. young men of America are lacking
in manners and polish, which charac-
terizes their European brethren of the
same school to that extent that one OF
their number declares. 1t may not be
pleasant reading for some of them, but
the fact is, there Is lurking suspicion
that one of the chief reasons, if indeed
not the chief reasons, if indeed not the
chief reason, why some American girls
in society marry foreigners, is the craze
after some sort OF title without regard
to character or refinement or manner,
and generally the lamentabIe result of
such alliances is a fit retribution to
such matrimonial folly.
