Away to the west IN tie Valley of
lrgraham, where the amethystine sky
droops in sapphire protectorate
over the undulating sub-valleys and
the sloping hiilsides; away to the
west, where the winter, yielding to
spring, bursts like an emerald lily un-
folding its petals, where the summer
is dreamy as hashish, and where the
glorious golden Autumn is panorama
OF prism kissed grandeur, there stands
amid luxuriant elms on a southern
slope, a Hildreth Home for Orphan
Boys. Maintained in a limited degree
of security and comfort by the fitful
appropriations Of state, and the philan-
thropic donations Of the charitably
rich, it drones along through chang
ing years, peaceful haven for the in.
FAINT outcasts on stormy sea,
Here among the zephyr-lulled sur
roundings, with the fitting birds that
pipe their songs Of gladness and their
twttterings of grief, dwelt Thomas
Fitzmack and Frederick Schaub, two
adolescent particles of human debris
gathered from the wreck-streWn wa
ters of Fate. OF their parents they
knew nothing except a fragmentary
recital by kindly and imaginative
preceptress Injured to satisfying blood
longing by building upon the mercst
fragments of known knowledge.

A National Hymn.

Great Western Land, whose mighty breast
Between two oceans finds its rest,
Begirt by storms on either side,
And washed by strong Pacific tide,
The knowledge of thy wondrous birth
Gave balance to the rounded earth;
In sea of darkness thou didSt stand,
Now, first in light, my Western Land.
In thee, the olive and the vine
Unite with hemlOck and with pine.
In purest white the southern rose
Repeats the spotless Northern SHOWS.
Around thy zone belt of maize
Rejoices in the suns hot rays
And all that Nature could command
She heaped on thee, my Western Land.
Great Western land, whose touch makes
free
Advance to perfect liberty
Till right shall make thy sovereign might,
And every wrong be crushed from sight.
Behold thy day, thy time is here;
The people great, with naught to fear.
God hold thee in his strong right hand,
My well beloved Western Land

College, in Congregational Home Mission

fine apples as can be obtained else

Question: what is good spray to
use?'
Mr. Powell: Il am going to use two
pounds sulphate of copper and six
pounds of lime in 50 gallons Of water.
In the west the usual solution is five
pounds of sulphate of copper to four Of
lime in 50 gallons Of water Here,
where the climate is more humid, less
copper and more lime is necessary
The benefit of spraying with this solu-
ton is chiefly to keep off insects and
fungous troubles.

The Yankee In a Far Country.

If you start to sail uncharted seas,
An unknown shore to gain
It's ten to one, when you reach the land,
naked native is on the sand
With an Elgin timepiece in his hand,
Or a Sardine-tin from Maine;
And under a spreading cocoa-tree
There stands traders tent.
Where lonely stranger is selling clocks,
And Springfield guns and Stamford locks,
Jack-kniveS and liniment.
He halls from Maine or from Lake Cham
Or maybe from Salem, Mass.
His face is lean, and his wit is keen,
And his eye lets nothing pass.
In an unmade land or desert sand
IT'S his especial pride
To do odd jobs for Providence,
And help himself on the side.
The Yankee inherits deal of craft
From his stern-faced pilgrim sires,
Who learned restraint, though they suffered
much,
nd dwelt in peace with the grabbed Dutch,
And taught the wilderness, at their touch,
TO yield what man requires.
And the mission spirit will drive some
YankS
Wherever man can roam
While others, with delicate skill, design
Wooden nutmegs and hams of pine,
To sell to the folks at home.

A Bargain for Farmers,

The New York Tribune Farmer, ma
tional illustrated agricultural weekly of
twenty large pages, has no superior AS a
thoroughly practical and helpful pubica-
ton for the farmer and every member of
his family, and the publishers are de
termned to give it a circulation unequaled
by any paper of its class in the United
States.
Knowing that every enterprsing, up-to-
date farmer always reads his own local
weekly Newspaper, The New York Tribune
has made an exceeding liberal arrange
ment which enables us to offer the two pa
perS at so low a price that no farmer can
aft ord to lose the opportunity.
The price of The New York Tribune
Farmer is S1.00 a year and The Republican
Journal is s. 90 a year, but both papers
will be sent fol a full year if you forward

Co., Belfast, Me.

York Tribune Farmer, New York City,
and a specimen copy of that paper will be
mailed to you. tt

The Island of Juan Fernandez

Readers of Mrs. Wards entertaining
account of visit to the home of Rob
inson Crusoe will be interested III the
following paragraph from recent is
sue of the Marine Review:
Having remained practically unin-
habited since Robinson Crusoe's ex-
tensively advertised visit, settlers are
now docking to the island of Juan Fer
nandez. This island is situated about
500 miles west of Valparaiso. A Ger
man sea captain gives an interesting
account of the commercial activity OH
this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES speck in the
Southern Pacific. The island is about
Is miles long by s miles wide, and as
the land can be had free Of cost by in
tending settlers many fishermen from
the main coast are awaiting themselves
of this opportunity to better their con-
dition. Grabs and HOLSTERS are found
in large numbers in the immediate
vicinity of the island. Canning fac
tories have lately been established.
Fur seals, which the law allows to be
killed during seven months of the year,
are plentiful, and the splendid natural
harbor on the eastern side will afford
safe shelter for the expected numerous
craft. It is further said that the fruit
and vegetables which grow in wild pro-
fusion can easily be cultivated, and that
plenty of fresh water is on hand. At
present only sailing vessels are employ
ed to maintain communication between
the island and the mainland, but enter
prising men in Valparaiso are consid-
ering the practicability Of establishing
a steamboat line.
