Happy Days on the Farm.

oh, the happy, happy farmer! He is get
ting ready now
To harness up the horses and attach them
to the plow;
The wheat upon the hillside's patched
with yellow here and there.
Where the frost has done things to it:
and he hears. high in the air,
The wild geese flying everything free and
flying far
All, the happy's farmers dreaming. where
earth's greatest gIories are!
The sheep are calmly browsing with their
busy noses low,
And they leave their wool in lunches on
the briars where they go:
The pigs are in the orchard, roofing
round the apple trees,
And the rooster in the barnyard suns him
self and takes his ease,
While the colts are gayly frisking in the
seven acre lot,
And the paint peels from the bobsled
where the sun is shining hot
Oh the happy, happy farmer working all
the day,
Gets old Bossy, in the corner and pro-
ceedS to milk away;
Anon he holds the bucket where the calf
is in the shed,
While it frisks its tail and gayly bumps
the vessel with it's head;
1t Stops the milk and slobbers what it
doesn't want around
And upsets the happy farmer when it has
him nearly drowned.
Oh, the happy farmers dreaming as he
always dreams in spring,
Of the crops that he will harvest and
the prices they will bring;
The wind has bleached his whiskers and
the sun has tanned his hide;
He is rough upon the surface, but his
hearts o. K. inside
His overalls are baggy and his boots are
splashed with mud,
Still his liver's working fairly and there's
iron in his blood.
All, the happy, happy farmer! How his
buoyant spirit scars,
AS he hobbies, rather slowly, out to do
the morning chores!
His boys are in the city; they're eman-
cipated now;
They have gone to make their fortunes
and left pa to guide the plow
Oh, the glad, the lucky farmer! He goes
toiling all his days,
And the boys are always calling for what
money he can raise.

Protestant Churches in Manhattan

Some OF the results of Rev. Dr. A. T.
Schauffler's study of the Protestant
churches in the borough of Manhattan are
given by the COngregationalist. He shows
how the Episcopal church has distanced
all others during the last 81 years, and
gives some reasons for it's success. Dur
ing that period the Baptists have grown
from 1889 members to 13,471, the Meth
odists from 10038 to 1879, the Presby-
terians from 1904 to 1858. and the
Episcopalians from 209S4 to As, 535. The
first ami chief apparent reason why the
Episcopalians have outstripped the other
denominations is their larger expenditure
of money. Their 81 churches and chapels
cost last year for running expenses ST.
899, COO, while the 40 churches and chapels
of Presbyterians cost $556894. Methodists
spent 1894, 1876 and Baptists $165, 235. The
largest annual cost of parochial work in
one Episcopal church, Grace church. was
$179. 235. The largest cost of a Presby-
terrain church was the Fifth avenue, So
779. Washington square Methodist spent
$19, 297 and Calvary Baptist, $12691 The
individual Episcopal church is able to do
more effective work than one of another
denomination in the same neighborhood
because it has a larger number of or
dained workers. No Episcopal church in
the Manhattan borough commits it's work
to one ordained minister only. Some
have four or five, besides lay readers
and deacons. Episcopal churches are
never closed during the summer, as are
those of other denominations, but priests
are always available for services of bap-
tism, marriage, burial, visitation of the
sick and looking after strangers

that gross favoritism was shown in the

The total postal expenditures under
the bill as passed are limited to $129.-
100000, all contracts expiring July /,

Senator Hanna sprung a surprise just
before the final vote when he offered and
secured the passage of an amendment
that no foreign built ships should re-
ceive any subsidy but that neither this
nor any other law should be construed
as preventing any American citizen from
owning, controlling o. operating for
eign built vessels, and that hereafter no
foreign built ship shall be admitted to
American registry.
This was the most nauseatng medicine
administered to the Democrats during the
perfecting Of the bill. Separate votes on
the three clauses were demanded. The
ing foreign built ships hereafter from
American registry, was adopted by As to
%, almost a strict party vote.
1t is believed this amendment was Of
fered by Mr.. Hanna fully to protect j.
Pierpont Morgan and those who are
largely investing in foreign built ships
from any possible question that may sub
seduently be raised as to their right to
own control or operate such vessel, and
to permit them to engage in trade at
American ports.
