Anchor to the Land.

Everybody cannot be farmer. Ev-
erybody is not naturally fitted to be
one. But it is the duty of young men,
duty to themselves, to think seriously
before leaving the farm and EMBARK
ing in other lines of business, especially
If their position is to be salaried one.
With comparatively few exceptions,
the salaried positions are unremunera-
tive, and the salaried man has not much
chance of advancement. If one does
secure position in which there is a
chance for advancement it takes q
pull" to succeed, as rule. The boy
may think he is not doing as we'll as
he should on his farm, and it may be so.
Let the fathers encourage the boys.
1t possible pay them small salary to
remain on the farm, as he would be
compelled to pay some other man if
the boy went away. Your chances are
better on the farm than in the city,

A self-Denying Husband.

George, DEAR" said the loving wife,
"why don't you smoke the cigars pre-
sented you on your birthday?"
IA pipe is good enough for me, my
dear. Cigars are too rich for my
blood"
''But, George, dear, they didn't cost
much. I paid only one dollar for the
box"
1T was very thoughtful for you to
buy them, Mary; but, as I said, pipe
is good enough for me. Your kind
ness, however, won't be thrown away.
The cigars will enable me to do the
handsome thing by our friends when
they call. They shall have them"
'But I should like to see you smoke
one of them, DEAR"
"Self-denial, darling, is one of the
greatest human virtues. I deny N.Y.
self for the pleasure of our friends"
1T is noble of you, George, and after
all 1 am proud of your resolution"

THE pAFFoDILs.

Near an old farmhouse daffodils
Are quite at home with birds and bees,
You'll find them peeping from the turf
Close to the trunks of ancient trees.
You'll find the damask rosebush too.
And pinks that will be sweet In May;
But first to come are daffodils
Lifting their yellow goblets gay.
At some quaint farmhouse door. perchance,
You'll find grandame sweet and fair.
Going forth to greet the daffodils
With stately and mysterious air.
She'll tell them. as she'll tell the bees,
A whispered story of the year.
And smile: 1.-THE gold of daffodils
Is not corroded by tear"
Thus daffodils are much beloved
Because their roots cling to the sod.
At Eastertide they show their gold.
Turn to the sun, the wind and God.
And while they stay, Gods blessing rests
On homes He founded long ago.
With daffodils and bees and birds
To keep the old-time love aglow.

asked, pressed by the vague fears that
never left his heart.

Thus were Marks worst fears for

unworthy of his love.
Many hours did not pass after he had
learned her story before he stood in
the squalid out-of-the-way street in
which Christabel lived.
The landlady politely, but with many
curious glances, asked him to wait in
the shabby little parlor while she went
in search of her ledger.
Then there had come the sound of q
light step, the rustic of a woman's dress
and Christabel stood before him; and
across the bridge of years the two
looked at each other.
To his eyes of love there was little
change in her. There was the same
grace of outline that had won his ad.
miration years ago; the same lovely
face; but that she had suffered, sui.
fered intensely, was so apparent, that
instinctively he stretched out his hands
to her.
Little by little he heard her story
'He was always the same," Christabe
said, sadly, nothing could rouse him tt

"Yet you chose him, Christabel."
She lifted her tired eyes to his face
There was in their depth dumb re
proach, an unspolen protest.
But she only answered with war
smile: "Perhaps so, as woman doe:
choose, who, after all, may not choose
but is chosen"
And as she spoke, the blindness o.
years fell from him, and too late hi
realized that in giving her up he hac

been only selfishness after all.
The pity of it, ali! the pity of il
all! 1t overpowered him, strong mar
that he was.
"Christabel," he cried, brokenly, ane
the hunger of love was in his voice
"can you ever forgive me?"
"Forgive your" she asked in wonder
Then he told her all. He did not spare
himself; the action he had once deemed
noble he despised as unworthy now
But the woman whom he had sacrificed
read between the lines and understood
In her faithful heart she found nc
blame for him.
So that when at last he looked up into
her face, thinking to meet there the re
proach he felt he deserved, he saw
only in her eyes the love-light tina,
years ago should have been his heart.

CECIL RHODES IN A NEW ROLE.

Cecil Rhodes appeared the other
afternoon in a new role at London, ser.

Salvation Army. 1t was semiaristo.
cratic function on social work of the
Salvation Army. Lord Aberdeen, Lord
Loeb, Lord Monkswell, and Lord Jus.
tice Rigby were present, the lord mayor
presiding.
Rhodes wasn't down on the list of
speakers, but was suddenly called upon
to address the meeting. He good-hu-
moredly complied, and took off his over
coat, squared his broad shoulders, and
stepped briskly to the front of the plat
form.
He praised the operations of the Sal
vationists in South Africa. The Cape
cabinet, after inquiring what the army
had done, found it had given homes to
waits and strays, had picked up the
fallen, and had given them, when re.
leased, another chance in life. He
said:
1.-THE practical form which the Cape
parliament took of the work done was
vote in aid, which had been continued
since. There are Is other colonies all
told" continued Rhodes, "where grants
in aid have been made to the army, not
on sentimental basis, but as practi-
cal return for the work the army does.
In my own church there are many dis
putes, but let us put all those details
aside and recognize that we all are hui
man beings be it as an officer of tho
Salvation Army or as minister of the
church, engaged in working for the
elevation of humanity"
Mr.. Rhodes donated $1,000 to the
army.
