pocket a little white rod, she struck
him with it, and turned him into a
gray rock. just outside her door, and
then, striking the hound, the hawk and
the filly with the rod she turned them
into white rocks ist beside him.
Now, at home they watched the wa

after day, till at last they one day saw
the water in the hoof tracks frothing,
and they said he was fighting a hard
battle; and SO he YVES, for that was the
very day himself and the first giant
had the encounter. Next day it was
frothing more than ever, for that was
the day he was fighting the second
giant, and on the third day the water

then they knew he was fighting des-

were at it hard and fast at the same

the water turning to blood and they
thought he must be killed. SO the next
morning the second brother set out and
he said he wouldn't stop two nights or
eat two meals of meat in the one house
till he'd find out what happened to his
brother. He took his hound, his hawk
and his FLY with him and he Travelled

near a great castle where his brother
had put up before him. And when he

house flew at him and kissed him and
welcomed him back with a hundred
welcomes ten times over, for he was SO
like his brother she was sure it was him

kings daughter, and she told him he
should go, for it would be well worth
seeing. But, Och" says he, I'll find
something better worth doing-I'll not
go near it." So, after his supper, to bed
he went, and he was up again early
betimes in the morning, and making
pretend he was going TO hunt, he went
off to the castle again. This day the
crowd was bigger than ever, and When
the giant appeared, and If the first
giant was tar-riffic, this one was twice
over double as tar-riffic, and he
could get no man with the
heart to venture to fight him,
till at length my brave kings
son had to step out this day again and
encounter him. Well, if the fight was
hard the first day, it was this day
double hard, and the giant gave him
his fill of it, and he gave the giant his
fill of il, till at long and at last when II
was going hard on him he takes one
spring right up into the air and landing
down with his sword on the giants
neck he cuts the head right off from
the body and then again disappeared
in the crowd, and after a while's hunt
ing on the hills he come home with
plenty of game; and this night, just
like the nights before, when the old
woman was giving him his supper she
made great wonders Of telling him OF
the tar-riffic fight that day again be-
tween the strange gentleman and the
giant, and how he killed the giant and
then disappeared right up into the sky
before all their eyes. And then she
said that on the mora the third and
last giant was to fight, and she saio
this would be a wonderful day entire

to see the wonderful gentleman that
killed the other two giants. But "Och,'
says he, I'll find something better tc
do-Tn not go near it, to look at him
or it." And the third morning again
he went to the castle, purtending that
it was to- hunt he was goin'; and the
third giant appeared. and him far more
tar-riffic than the first two put to-
gether. And to make a long story short, |
my brave kings son and himself WENT
at it, and the fighting was the most9

POVERTY AND RICHEs.-These
two classes are rapidly becoming
the clearly defined classes of our
country. In other, older lands
these classes have already become
clearly defined.
We have usually attributed this
to the peculiar institutions and
laws Of countries upholding here
ditary nobility, and have denied
the possibility of such a result in
our republic.
The laws, however, which have
been developed during the last
twenty years, have been wholly
tending in this direction, until now
they have the very plainest purpose
to this end.
Favored classes are destined to
enormous wealth, and for every
millionaire host of poor miserable
toilers must drag out their weary
existence.
The middle class is yearly grow
ing less and less in point of num-
bers aud influence-here and there
one joining the wealthy and hosts
Of them being thrust down 20 the
dregs Of poverty.
Unless a change comes soon,
every laborer will be numbered in
the ranks of poverty and the farm
Iing class will be virtually the serfs
of those who are the holders of the
wealth Of the land.
1t is time-fully time, that the
farmers should take an active part
in shaping the laws of our country
if they expect to retain any char
acter for self-respect and to occupy
in the future any respectable po-
sition in the land.
Poverty and Riches-Fhese are
the factors now in hot conflict.
Wealth has the State and the
Church fully in its control-the
poor can only escape degrading
poverty by clinging to the possess
ion of the land and as farmers as
serting, demanding and seizing, if
necessary, their rights.
