A Hymn Anecdote.

The romance of the famous hymns Of a.
world is little less appealing than the romanco % t
other literature. In connection with the bT vi
"My Faith Looks Up to Thee" of which 4ill' 4iinl'
Sutherland writes in the Delineator are rolatI
number of incidents that bear out this aSoon
ton. Among them is one which has more to Jn
larly worth repeating:
"Many will recall the thrilling experience of tbo
passengers on the German steamship Spree, ;n
December, 1882. During fearful storm the nro.
peller broke, knocking a large hole through her
bottom and leaving her helpless. She was not
onlv in danger of sinking, but she was also randi
ly driven out of her course The passengers ,ypro
in a panic, and one leaped overheard to his death
Dwight L. Moody, who the vessel inspirpd
all with courage by his splendid composure and bv
his oft-repeated assurance that God would answer
their prayers and bring them safely to land He
frequently said afterward that nothing short of
the direct interposition of Providence, in answer
to prayer, saved the ship. There never was he
said "a more earnest prayer than that of those
seven hundred souls their helpless, almost sink
ing ship, in mid-ocean on that Sunday when we
met in the saloon to implore Gods helr; and God
answered us, I knew He would. He sent the
"Lake Huron" to our rescue and made the storm
calm at this meeting,' wrote General O. O.
Howard, who fellow passenger with Moody
we sang a number of hymns, among them being
"My Faith Looks Up to Thee" The singing was
led by a Roman Catholic lady, who was return
in" to the United States from South America by
way of England. We a united band of Gods
children praying for deliverance.'"

A Tobacco Journal on Smoking.

A strange letter has come to US. 1t was writ
ten by a young lady. She wants to know if it
is proper or decent for young man to smoke in
the presence of ladies. Now this is trade paper,
and we are not given to writing things outside of
our legitimate sphere, but how we refuse to
give our opinion on question of so vital import
ance to our young lady friend? So here goes:
unless he first asks permission, and it is a privi-
lege he should be slow to ask. A young man should
not smoke when walking with lady. 1t is also
decidedly impolite for a man to speak or bow to a
lady On the street with a cigar cigarette pipe
in his mouth. On meeting a lady acquaintance,
if man has smoke in his mouth, he should with
draw it, hide it behind his back, and then pro-
ceed with his salutations. So there now. We
have answered our lady correspondent, and we
hope she will enforce the rules.-Southern To
bacco Journal.

Written for THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
The Life beautiful"

The only principle that the average father seems
really anxious to stimulate in the minds of his
children is the art of money getting. 1t is the
watch-word of the American freside Now to be
rich is disgrace. In truth wealth is konor when
honorably acquired and used for noble causes.
Yet, the vocation of money-making is a virtue
which, when prostituted readily becomes vice.
1t seems to WELD enchanting influence over
its votaries that allures them on in the wake of
its golden glow till their senses become deadened
to every impulse. Money isn't essential to happi-
less in civilized lifeindividually national
". The golden age of Sparta under the reign of
Lycurgus, when all precious metals were with
drawn from circulation and common iron substi-
tuted as the medium of exchange. Barney Barna-
to, the diamond king of Kimberly, finding life
not worth while, and David Thoreau the literary
naturalist, finding life beautiful in his secluded
cabin home is selfevident that the beauties of life
sordid pursuit of money.
are more readily found by ways other than the
sorddid pursuit of money.
That the old Arab who said to the traveller by
whom he had been asked why he planted no shade
trees: "Ill not live to enjoy them and if nv
children want them, they will have them to plant"
was not far amiss from voicing the sentiments
expressed in the family code of the common
American home will be very evident when we
cast about with observing eye and perceive the
lack of interest manifested by the fathers in their
childrens future welfare In fact, fathers are not
uncommonly heard to make such declarations
as this: "When my children get old enough to
work am going to take things easy"

Alive and Kicking.

Senator Dubois, of Idaho, tells of the case of
a miner in that State who had been reported as
dead by number of the Idaho newspapers
1t would appear that the miner had keen sense
of humor, for, with reference to an obituary of
himself, which appeared in Boise City paper. the
alleged dead man addressed the editor with view
to correcting certain misstatements in the said
obituary.
MY dear sir" wrote he, "relative to the obitu-
ary of myself appearing in your issue of the 22nd
ultimo, beg leave to call your attention to sew
eral errors therein. In the first place, I was
born in Massachusetts, not in Rhode Island; sec
ondly, my retirement from the liquor business in
the year 1899 was not due to i'll health but to the
fact that [ was unable to secure a renewal of my
license, and. thirdly the cause Of my death was
not heart disease"

The Rabbit Fired the Gun.

"Brer Rabbit" has been outdone in real life
and West Virginia rabbit family has hero
The incident occurred in this wise, according to
the Chicago Tribune:
Peter Frees and his son Louis went out rabbit
hunting in the woods near Parkersburg. West
Virginia. Their dog soon chased a cottontail in
to a pile of brush, and Louis rushed up to get
him out. He put his gun on the ground, and tax
ing ur long pole, began to punch in the brush
pile to dislodge the rabbit.
Finally bunny ran out in an unexpected place,
straight the gun, which was cooked. His
hind foot struck the trigger, sending the charge
of shot into Louis leg, and some Of it into the
dog. The boy yelled. the dog howled, and in the
midst of the excitement bunny got away.

THE HOME CIRCLE
A Cry To Arms

Hol woodsmen of the mountain side .
Hol dwellers in the wales
Ho! ye, that by the chafng tide
Have roughened in the gales!
Leave barn and byre, leave kin and cot,
Lay by the bloodless spade;
Lest desk, and case, and counters rot,
And burn your books of trade!
The despot roves your fairest lands
And till he flies or fears
Your fields must grow but armed bands
Your sheaves be sheaves of spears!
Give up to nSildew and to rust
The useless tools of gain
And feed your country's sacred dust
With floods of crimson rain!
Come with the weapons at your call
With musket, pike or knife
He wields the deadliest blade of all
Who Hghtest holds his life.
The arm that drives it's unbought blows,
With all patriots scOrn,
Might brain a tyrant with rose,
Or stab him with a thorn!
Does any falter? Let him turn
To some brave maiden's eyes,
And catch the holy fires that burn
In those sublunar skies.
Oh! could you like your women feel,
And in their spirit march,
A day might see your lines of steel
Beneath the victor's arch!
What hope, o God would not grow warm
When thoughts like these give cheer?
The lily calmly braves the storm
And shall the palm-tree fear?
MOI rather let it's branches court
The blast that sweeps the plain;
And from the lily's regal port
Learn how to breast the rain.
Hol woodsmen of the mountain side!
Ho! dwellers in the vale!
Hol ye that by the roaring tide
Have roughened in the gale!
Come! focking gayly to the fight,
From forest, hill and lake
We battle for the country's right
And for the lily's sake!

STRAIGHT CROP REPORTS.

Secretary Wilson is moving in the right direction to do
away with crop report scandals by ending official est
the information about crops collected by the De-
partment of Agriculture The plan he is reported to have
under favorable consideration originated in the West and
The Republic, called attention to weeks ago.
The plan is to go collecting such information here
tofore, strengthening the service rather than diminishing
it, and to publish the facts ragmentary though they may
be- and fast they received Secrecy being thus
abolished there could be leaks while those interested
in speculative crops like cotton wheat corn etc., would
make their deductions and estimates without the
doubtful aid of the official statisticans.
In other way the temptation be removed shade
the reports in favor OF one interest onOther It is in
this way only in something like it, that leaks of ad
vanced information can be stopped. Under the present
plan the stascans charged with the duty of making up
the reports must be of than Roman virtue to
resist the temptations that will always be thrown in their
way.
Even if the abuated monthly report is perfectly correct
and honestly issued it often gives unnecessary shock
to the market The information gathered by the depart
ment will be servicabe if published daily or weekly
