JOCund Farmer of Wall Street

We have long had occasion to OBJ
serve that the most prosper Gus
farmers in the country are those
who grow their crops in Wall street
the wheat growers who farm on
the floor of the grain exchange, the
cotton planters who raise the sta
pie on the floor of the cotton OK
change. They plant, raise and sell
crop in five minutes, and those
who have experience in the cultiva-
tion of the speculative soil have be-
come both rich and prosperous.
Last year, as we had occasion to
remark some time ago, says the At
lanta Constitution, the farmers of
the cotton exchange raised and sold
in the course of few weeks crop
of thirty-fve millions of bales
more than the cotton growers of
the south can raise in ten years of
the most exhausting toll.
1t is no wonder that these happy
and successful farmers who plow
and hoe In the neighborhood OF
Wall street, scent prosperity in ev-
cry breeze that blows and see il in
every passing cloud. So fur as they
are concerned, prosperity is II real
thing even in hard times.
We have In mind this moment
the caso of Farmer james Il. Kconc,
who II one Of the best known and
most practical agriculturIsts of Wall
street. This horny.handcd son Of
toll went down into tho Wall street
wheat farm the other day aud walk

REV. r. T. CHEW, who was as.
signed to the pastorate of the New
Madrid Methodist church by the
conference last week, Immediately
resigned from the ministry on the
grounds that he could not stand the
elimate.-Dexter Messenger.
Our understanding is that Broth.
or Chew claims he was treated very
unfairly and proposes to show up
the true inwardness Of some con
ference manipulators. Mr.. Chew
is a vigorous writer and the fur is
liable to fly when he turns himself
loose. But we are sorry, all the
same, that he has determined to
abandon the ministry.

ADvICEs from the west say that
the price of beef has gone up fully
one-third within the past few weeks,
and butchers say that before the
holidays it will have advanced 80
per cent over the price of last year.
Beef has been steadily advancing
for the past few months, and is now
from | IL cents to 2 cents per
pound higher than 1T was at this
time last year. The meat men say
that it will continue to 60 higher
and the prospect is that it will be
higher by January than it has
been for fifteen years. Australia
has but recently recovered from
one of her periodical droughts. and
as a shipper of cattle and sheep is
practically out of the foreign COM
petition. This has caused an in
creased demand for American cat
tie, and eastern buyers are paying
higher prices for feeders than have
formerly been paid for beef cattle.
Eastern buyers have gone through
California, Nevada and Oregon and
bought or contracted for by far the
larger proportion Of cattle for win
ter use. California cattle are prac-
tically exhausted. Oregon has had
a short crop and the result is that
beef is and will be higher than it
has been for wears.

A LADY reader requests us to pub
lish Eugene Fields pretty nursery
poem:
Wynken, BIynken and Nod.
Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in wooden shoe
Sailed On a river Of crystal light
Into a sea OF dew;
"Where are you going and what do you wish"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful seq;
Nets of silver and gold have we"
Said WyDken,
Blynken
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring-fsh
"Now cast your net wherever you wish
Never afeared are we"
So cried the stars to the fisherman three
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden
shoe,
Twas all So pretty sail it seemed
AS if it could not be,
And some folks thought twas dream
They'd dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea,
But shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is wee ones trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while mother sings
Ofwondcrful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen
three
Wynken,
Blynken
And Nod.
