mAy sometimes sssn very hard work
whom you come to the towns and zee 70
many working in shady places, and
you know you, II at home, would be
tOiline in the sun, but your time for
rest will come after . while. When
the bleak time Of the year comes, and
your sheaves are all gathered, there
will be many In the towns with weary
limbs and aud aching head, feeling
that their toll il very hard.
We long to see the time when our
men will say with pride II am far
mer," and Els daughter will gladly say
II live in the country" Some OF our
erandest men have developed on q farm
and some women who would grace any
home have been reared there. There
is 80 much Of Gods blessed sunshine
and pure air, and 90 much quiet IL
which to be thankful for them; and so
much less to excite ones envy or covet-
ousuess. II you are on farm, do not
sorrow that your mission 10 there.
1t is so beautiful to know that you
have q mission. That God sent you to
the earth 10 do something for bis crea-
tures-and for Him, and that He gives
you the opportunity Of accomplishing
your work.
What a blessing a son can be in a
home. How proudly the parents watch
him from baby hood, and build up hopes
for his future, day by day. Doing for
him seems to be their mission, and
what pleasure it is. After while he
will bring joy to their hearts only BE-
cause he has done we'll for himself.
What is sweeter in home than y
daughter. Dreams for her future are
INDUCED in &C often. What Is it that
the parents would not do for her. Do
these young people realize that they
are sent to bless their homes? All! no,
not always, for how many hearts OF par
ents are bowed in grief today, because
those they have watched so tendetly,
have gone astray. Parents love Is
so much like Gods love for US. All His
are for our good, and all He
asks in return is our love; just as all
the commands of parents is for the
childrens good and all they ask Is their
love. Young man, young lady, can you
refuse that? Father has many cares.
His hair is getting streaked with gray,
his form more bent, aud he mingles less
with the social world than once he did.
His pleasure is in his home. Give him
all YOU can. l do not think you will
ever regret speaking kind words. Do
not forget that mother may not be as
strong, as the years are added to her
life. Perchance you may tighten her
labor, II you cannot you can appreciate
it, and tell her 30.
Do some husbands realize that their
mission is something more than to pro-
vide for the homer How man can
make or mar the happiness there, only
a woman doth know. He is weary and
worn when he reaches home and 1t
should be the place to recuperate his
spent energy, but II he comes, not only
tired, but cross, 1t is 90 much harder to
rest. It IL such q pity that after hav-
ing done all the hard part to make
home happy he shall allow few harsh
words to spoil the whole evening as
completely as II a handful Of salt were
thrown into a delicate dish.

On the first day Of July, 1871, a small
railway publication issued for the
first time. In October. of the same
year, the entire plant of the publishers
was swept away by the greatest con-

this reverse, which would have put
a quietus on an enterprise less spirited,
both the plant and publication in
remarkably short time were or foot
again, stronger and better than before.
The book now contains nearly 100
pages and is the official organ of the

YOUR MISSION

''Man never Is, but is to be blest, 90
wrote the poet years ago. and no less
applicable Is his sentiment to US, than
to the generation for which it was
written.
When We look abroad upon the bless
ings which surround US, and think for
. moment, how they have come TO us,
we surely ought to say that man is
blessed.
So many have fulfilled . grand mis-.
sion In bringing to US the comforts We
enjoy. Centuries have passed away
since John Wyclif'e In The humble rec
tory Of Lutterworth, feeling it his mis-
sion, to give the people the Bible In
their own tongue, began its translation.
Little cared he for the great work,
or realized the abuss which should be
hsaped upon him for his labor.

"A Big Electric Locomotive. (, -.

A sign OF the times is the construction at the
Baldwin locomotive works of an electric locomo-
heavy freight and is capable of making 35 miles
an hour. While it is theoretically practicable to
build electric motors for any kind of service,
there is much yet to be learned by practical eX-
pertinent about the best way of constructing
them. If the Baldwin works should enter the
new field may confidently expect rapid de
velopment of the business and the gradual subst-
tuition of electric for steam power on at least
some of the great railroads of the country.
