GOOD CHANCE FOR OUR FARMERS

The high price of cattle is leading
many of our New England farmers to
raise their calves and to use more
steers and oxen ON the farm; and, in
fact, to be in line to have more cattle
to sell year by year. This is healthy
sign for New England agriculture as
nothing seems to be such clear gain as
turning off pair or two of fat cattle
every year. Cattle raising has been
too much neglected in the New Eng
land states during the past 20 years,
and it is a pleasure to note that on
many farms cattle husbandry is again
coming to the front. No better beef
in the world is raised than that which
is pastured on New England hillsides
even if topped off with western corn.
though we believe that cattle husban-
dry will lead to larger areas of corn
fodder and corn to be harvested in the
grain. Nothing seems to improve the
farm faster than increased attention
to the producing of beef and raising
the necessary fodder crops and grain

"A GREAT AMERICAN.

AS to the purity of General Lees
motive, the nobility of his character
and his commanding abilities, contem-
porary opinion was seldom atfau1t and
posterity entertaius no doubt whatso-
ever. In making the foundatio of
that sympathetic Judgment still more
firm, and inviting his countrymen to
put an even higher estimate on his
moral qualities, Mr. Adams has per-
formed a generous and useful service.
If there were no other reason to cherish
the memory Of Lee, his decisive refusal
to sanction guerilla warfare after
Appomattox and his loyal acceptance
of the issue of the titanic combat
which saved the Union would entitle
him to a secure place among great
Americans.-[The New Tribune.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

WHAT FOLLOWED THE MARRIAGE OF
THE EARL OF MARCH.-FROM "TIII
LIFE AND LETTERS OF LADY sARAE
LENNox." CHARLES sCR1BNEK's
sONs.)
My grandfather, the second Duke OF
Richmond, was one of the Lords of
the Bedchamber to King George II,
who then resided at Kcnsington Pal
ace. He had been, as was the custom
In those days, married while yet a boy
to Lady Sarah Cadogan, daughter of
That Lord Cadogan who as cavalry
officer distinguished himself so much
In the Duke OF Marlberough,s wars.
This marriage was made to cancel a
gambling debt. the young peoples
consent having been the last thing
thought Of; the Earl OF March was
sent for from school and the young
lady from her nursery; a clergyman
was In attendance, and they were told
that they were Immediately to become
man and wife! The young lady is not
reported to have uttered a word: the
gentleman exclaimed, "They surely
are not going to marry me to that
dowdy" The ceremony, however.
took place; postchaise was ready at
the door and Lord March was instant
ly packed off with his tutor to make
the "grand TOUR while his young
wife was returned to the care OF her
mother, Dutch women, daughter of
William Munster, Counsellor Of the
Courts Of Holland.
After some years spent abroad Lord
March returned-a we'll educated, hand
some young man, but with no very
agreeable recollcctions of his wife.
Wherefore, instead of at once seeking
his own home, he went directly to the
opera or theatre, where he amused
himself between the acts in examining
the company. He had not very long
been occupied in this manner when a |
very young and beautiful woman
more especially struck his fancy, and
turning to gentleman beside him, he
asked who she was. ''You must be
stranger in London" replied the
mot to know the toast of
the town, the beautiful Lady March,"
Agreeably surprised at this intelli-
renee Lord March proceeded to the
'ox, announced himself and claimed
lis bride-the very dowdy whom he
rad SO scornfully rejected some years
'efore, but with whom he afterward
wed SO happily that she died of a
roken heart within the year of his
ecease.

THE VINE AND THE BROOK:

A vine grows by my doorway,
All budding green and fair.
Fed by the light of heaven,
Kept in the Fathers care.
Mute is the vine to thank Him?
=. Blind to His love, think you?
Nay! 1t doth climb to reach Him
Through sun and shower and dew.
This is its daily purpose,
Here at my cottage door.
TO spend its strength to seek Him,
And live for nothing more.
A stream flows through my garden
Among tall. swaying ferns.
,. And. splashing DER the pebbles,
The miller's wheel it turns.
Think you 1t scorns the service
God giveth 1t each day?
No! 1t doth sing to praise Him,
Laughing the hours away.
For it hath learned the secret
To blend with work q psalm
AS on its wayit dances
Past cottage, mill and farm.
And, as see my ivy
Climb through the summers heat,
And hear the brOOklet singing
To grind the miller's wheat,
Why do stand regretful,
And Ill at ease the while?
Does something mar my musing,
And chase away my smile?
The vine and brook are teachers.
Though be more than they;
For forget my climbing,
And do not sing Away.
