TAKE COURAGE.

We think we suffer greatly now
Through tho long wakeful night
In pain of body or of mind,
We toss till morning light. =.
Dear friends forsake us and we mourn
5 Their loss, or fortune flies,
Or foes with weapons keen aSSau
a. A truth or cause we prize.
,'"This worlds wilderness Of woe,"
We solemnly declare.
~''Is life worth lving?" we inquire.
Does JOY dwell anywhere?
Methinks the nut-brown acorn had
The same doubts as it lay
Buried in earth. so coarse and cold
And dark, day after day.
But life within it could not rest.
1t struggled to be free.
With throes of pain it burst its bonds,
And 10! great oak-tree!
Lofty and strong and beautiful,
Its branches spreading wide.
It's green leaves whispering to the breeze.
It stands in power and pride.
And so to US will come a change
More beautiful and grand
Than ever nut-brown acorn knew,
In any cline or land.
The God within us cannot rest,
But will at length arise
In might and majesty and power
And bliss, beyond the skies.
Then let us courage take, and strength.
Though rough may be the way,
Each step will lead us higher on
Towards realms of perfect day.

RESCUiAG PEACHES.

Sum Of $4,000 Spent in Hale Orchard In
Destroying Worms.
The great Hale peach orchard, in
Georgia, covers 1918 acres, GOO of which
are in bearing trees, and the remainder
in nursery stock. There are avenues
running north and south through the
orchard 500 feet apart, with a cross
road every 1000 feet. There are two
large packing houses 100 feet long and
40 feet wide and two stories high, and
a lodging house or hotel has just been
built for the help. =:
Last year some 400 helpers camped
in barns, wagons, tents, etc. At picking
time about 500 men and women, chief
ly co1ored, and IS horses and mules
are employed, while so men and 30
mules are employed the year round.
At the lodging house rooms and beds
are free and board costs $3.50 week,
while families and parties can furnish
their own food and have it cooked for
themselves if they choose.
This year the curculio attacked the
peaches and Mr.. Hale waged prompt
war upon the insects, jarring the trees
and catching the insects in sheets
tackled to light semicircular hoop
frames. Two of these were brought
together about tree, which was struck
by rubber-padded club, and the in
sects which dropped were then thrown
into buckets and carried by boys to
barrels in wagons and drawn away TO
be burned by the stung fruit which
dropped with them. Fifty men were
busy for nearly two months, from
early April onward, at this work, which
cost $4,000. Butwhile in other orchards
from go to 90 per cent. of the fruit
was lost, and in some orchards the en-
tire crop, the Hale orchard alone had
full crop, and many of the trees were
so overloaded that they required Sc
