The Fullness Of Country Life.

In the country every morning of the
year brings with it a new aspect of
springing or fading nature a new duty
to be fulfilled upon earth and new
promise or warning in heaven. No day
is without it's innocent hope, it's special
prudence, its kindly gift and it's sublime
danger and in every process of wise hus-
bandry and every effort of contending or
remedial courage. The wholesome pas
sions, pride and bodily power of the Ia
borer are excited and exerted in hap
piest unison. The companionship Of
domestic and the care of serviceable ami
mails soften and enlarge his life with
lowly charities and discipline him in
familiar VISIONS and unboastful forti-
tudes, while the divine laws of seed
time, which cannot be recalled, harvest,
which cannot be fastened, and winter,
in which no man can work, compel the
impatience and coveting Of his heart
into labor too submissive to be anxious
and rest too sweet to be wanton. John
Ruskin.

Disappointed Nifnrods.

Hunting has become one OF the
principal pastimes OF. the American
people. Public men, business men,
men of all professions throw aside the
cares of life for a time to have gala
day with their guns.
In obedience to this custom, five Of
our aristocratic friends planned a trip
to Kandiyohi Island to make war on
the feathered tribe. Great prepara-
tions were made. An extra boat to
carry back the game formed part of
the equipment. The passage across
was uneventful except for the loud
talk and the betting whose dog should
prove the best. After pitching their
tents and the kettle hung in it's place,
the five started out with great expec-
tations. To him who brought the fin
est brace of ducks for supper, thanks
should be voted. Bang! bang! was
heard in every direction but the ducks
were stubborn and refused to come
down. The poor dogs got no chance
to prove their skill and felt the disap-
pointment keenly. Darkness brought
our heroes back to camp, tired and
hungry. They appeased the craving
of the elmer man" with bread and
coffee and sought relief in sleep. But
sleep they could not. Their stomachs
had been given aattering promises of
meat that evening and they like Ban
quo's ghost ''would not down." Thus
hours were passed. About midnight
"cock's shrill clarion" was heard
over the quiet waters. A new thought
struck the party. So leaving their
camp fire burning they noiselessly en-
barked for the sound of that foolish
rooster. Whether or not bold chan
ticlen had its neck wrung for disturb
ing the quietude of night the writer
will not venture to say.
The second days hunt was repeti-
ton of the first with one slight excep-
ton. The two stoutest men happened
to be in the smallest boat. A big duck
was seen making her way for that par
ticular spot. "Wait till we see the
white of her eyes" says one. Both
blazed away at the same time. The
noble bird proceeded on her way un-
scratched, but the shooting had an
other effect. An eye witness would
have seen two pieces of struggling
humanity grasping at everything.
They finally got ashore, went back to
camp wiser though wetter men. Al
the close of the second day they were
all satisfied with their sport. Each
one plodded to his home where he was
met by a loving wife who welcomed
him with a smile and warm supper.

The Homo of q Genius.

Beethoven was born in a. small house
in Bonn. His father had inherited the
vice Of drinking, and often Beethoven
and his younger brother were obliged
to take their intoxicated father home.
He was never known to utter an unkind
word about the man who had made his
youth so unhappy, and he never failed
to resent it when third person spoke
uncharitably Of his fathers frailty.
Young Beethoven was thus taught
many severe lesson in the hard school
of adversely. But his trials were not
without advantage to him. They gave
to his character that iron texture which
upheld him under his heaviest burdens.
