GOD PIT Y THE POOR.

God pity the poor who are YEARLY sitting
By desolate hearthstones, cold, cherries
and bare,
! From which the last ember'S pale flicker
has faded,
Like hope dying out in the midst OF de-
spair;
Who look on the wide world and see it 6
| desert
Where ripples no waters, no green branches
| wave;
| Who see in future as dark as the present
| No rest but the death bed, no home but
the grave.
God pity thr poor, for the wealthy are Of
AS hard as the winter and cold as it's snow,
While fortune mskes sunshine and sum-
meraround them,
They care not for others or think Of their
woe;
Or if from their plenty a trife be given
So doubtingly, grudgingly often it's doled
That to the receiver their charity seemeth
More painful than hunger, more bitter
than cold.
God pity the poor, for though all men are
brothers,
Though all say, "Our Father not mine,
when they pray.
The proud ones of earth turn aside from
the Iowly
AS if they were fashioned of different clay.
They seem not to those who III meekness
and patience
Toil-poverty, pain, without murmur en-
dure-
The image of him whose first couch was
manger,
Who chose for our sake to be homeless
and poor.
God pity the poor! Give then courage and
patience
Their trials, temptations and troubles to
brave,
And pity the wealthy whose idol is for
tune,
For gold cannot gladden. the gloom of the
grave.
And as this brief life, whether painful or
pleasant,
To one that is endless but opens the door,
The heart signs while thinking on palace

God pity the wealthy as well as the poor.

Il DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE.

For eighteen years I was drum
mer. My territory was in the
Southern States, and travelled over
them all. In one of the largest cities
in. the states I had a good customer to
whom I sold many large bills. The
buyer of this house was a man who
drank regularly and often. On one
trip went in to see this buyer, and
he sent the stock clerk to see how
many cases of goods were needed.
When told, he ran his arm in mine
and walked out of the Office and up
the street to an alley (talking all the
time about business), and then down
the alley to back door of bar
room.
When he struck the alley I saw his
object, and said: eff the Lord will
help me now, I will not break my
rule" When we got within ten feet
of the door of the accursed hole I
stopped, and, looking at my customer
(for he certainly was not my friend),
I said: 81 don't drink anything; no
use my going in there" He looked
at me and said: sEUome on and take a
drink" Ireplied: "No, I don't drink"
ssTake a cigar, then" mo, [ don't
go in barrooms at ALL"
He stopped and looked me squarely
in the face, and took his arm out of
out, and we walked back to the
office, but he didn't arm me back nor
speak a word to me. When we got
into his office sagain I took out my
order book as though nothing had
happened, and said politely: Chow
many cases shall Iput DOWN." "None.
I don't want any!" said he. I an
swered, Cali right sir; we have sur
plus on hand at all times, and will be
pleased to have your ORDER" and
babe him goodbye.
This was Saturday. remained in
the city until Monday. Sunday morn
ing went to church as was my habit,
and when the collection was taken up
who should see passing the plate my
way but this buyer whom I had Of
Tended the day before. I don't know
whether he recognized me Or not, but
I knew him, and was told that he had
been an officer in that church for over
twenty years.
Now for the application. This man
of whom I speak was full partner in
the house, which was rated at $780,
900. I lost the custom of this house.
Tt failed in about two years after this
for over half a million dollars, but did |
not get my house for cent.
Since that time this man has gone |
down the bill until today he is COM
plete whiskey wreck. He is very |
poor, has but few of the necessaries |
of life, and has to work very hard to
make both ends meet. His head is |
now white, and his steps feeble and
tottering. I never see that man that
this incident doesn't come up in my
mind. My employer commended me
for what did, and retained me in his |
service for thirteen years.
If it had not been for whiskey this
man would be well off today and have
plenty to start all his children and
grandchildren in life.

SOMEBODY HAD TO STAY.

The story is from Ell Diario, an Ar.
genuine newspaper published in
Spanish. The anecdote is told of a
prison in a provincial town in Argen-
tine.
An employe, whose duty it was to
inspect them, arrived late at night at
one of them and asked ragged 'gau-
cho'. who opened the door, where
the Chief Of Police was.
'The Chief, SIR" he answered,
Olives at his farm, three or four
leagues off. He seldom comes"
"And the second of police?"
''Ihe second has not come for some
time, sir. The poor man has his wife
ILL.,"
"And the officer of the guard?'
''He has been invited to a dance"
"And the gendarmes?"
''The gendarmes, sir, finish their
duty at s p. m. and don't return till
next day"
"But this is a scandal! There is
nobody here to explain things. And
you? Who are you?"
II am the prisoner, SIR;
The whole thing reads like an Incl
dent from comic opera. But it is
perfectly literal translation from the
paper mentioned.

Green beans are in full supply and sell
at 50c@$1 per blu, as to quality and va

III the ASn market II1dCkere1 are very
scarce, both fresh and salt. For large
fresh fish the quotation has gone above
25 cents this week, on account of scant
supply. The shore catch sailed to date
has been only 2755 barrels. Imports Of
salt mackerel, in consequence, have been
unusually large in volume, amounting
this week alone to 919 barrels. OF this
total nearly 500 came from Ireland. Re-
ports from that country indicate that
the early season for this year is over,
but Captain Jacobs of this port has
undertaken the voyage across to see
whether his luck will be any better on
the Irish coast during the late season
than it was in the spring campaign over
here.
Irish mackere1 are quoted at $14.50@
Is per barrel, and Nova Scotia receipts
have been fetching about .$1375@14.
Some salt tinker mackerel has been on
the market at quotations ranging from
$9@9.25 latest figures being outside ones.

advances are reported on salt cod and
kindred stock.
Swordfish have come to the front in
the fresh fish market this week. There
have been landed here S3S of these bulky
warriors of the deep, and prices on
them rule quite low. At times when
the supply was most abundant $3.50 ID
was quoted thereon.
Fresh mixed fish have been in ample

It was supposed until recently that all
Of the blighting and rotting of potatoes
was due to one and the same cause, but
investigations at the Vermont expert
ment station during the past decade
have shown that there are several
causes which may act separately or in
combination to bring about the destruc-
ton of the potato crop. If the injury
leads to the death of the leaves it is
called blight; if it destroys the tubers
1t is termed a rot. There are at least
five kinds of blight and two kinds of rot
against which the potato grower must
guard-and in addition the potato scab
These are described for our readers
by Professor Jones of the experiment
station, so as to enable any farmer to
know which diseases he has to deal with.
They usually occur in the order here
given:
%. Arsenical poisoning. Due to ex-
cessive application of paris green. Com
monty causes brownsor black "burned"
spots on the leaves. These may not ap-
pear until several days after the poison
is applied. There is much more injury
from this cause than is generally sup
posed, and sometimes the plants are
iOh
green in more dilute form and more uni
formly.
(2). Early blight. This is a fungus
disease which causes spots much like
those caused by the paris green. It may
cause complete destruction of the tops
1t never produces rot, however. Rem
edy: Spray with bordeaux mixture
90. Late blight and rot Every Yer
mont farmer knows and breads this old
enemy. 1t requires warm. rainy or
"muggy" weather for it's development,
but under favorable conditions will
sweep over a field and destroy every
plant in few days. It is fungus. The
same fungus causes both the late blight
and the rot. Remedy: Bordeaux mix
ture properly applied is a perfect pre-
ventive and will fully protect the crop
on any soil and in any season. This has
been shown by nine years experience at
the experiment station.
"a. Tip-burn. 1t is very common, es-
pecially in dry seasons or when hot dry
weather follows a wet period, for the
leaves to burn especially at the tips
and margins. This trouble is worse
when the leaves are badly eaten by in
sects. Remedy: Attention to proper
cultivation, and spraying with bordeaux
paris green mixture.
60. The brown rot is bacterial dis
ease, causing the whiting and death of
the stems, followed by wet rot Of the
tubers. This is very destructive in the
south and occurs in the Hudson valley
of New York state. The experimental
station experts have not yet seen it in
Vermont, however.

On one Of the trolley lines leading
to a well-known. amusement park
they have system whereby the cars
are stopped at certain points to allow
uniformed inspectors to count the
passengers, presumably as check on
the conductors. Recently among the
passengers on the car on which the
Saunterer happened to be riding was
a well dressed young fellow with a
penchant for cracking jokes at other
peoples expense. When the car
stopped for count up he had lot of
fun thrusting gibes at the Inspector,
the conductor and the trolley COM
pany people in general. Finally, just
as the car was about to resume it's
journey, he called out:
''Say, Mister Inspector, you missed
me-"
The Inspector turned and looked
the young fellow over very careful

"Humph!" he retorted, ''I guess
the company can stand it. I didn't
miss much.'
Then everybody laughed, the young
fellow got red in the face, the motor
man turned on the current and the
