Joy in Ones Work.

Tt may be proved with much Ger.
tainty that God intends no man to
live in this world without working:
but it seems to me no less evident
that He intends every man to be hap
py in his work. 1t is written, In the
sweat of thy brow" but it was never
written-"In the breaking of thine
heart'-"thou shalt eat bread" /
find that no small misery is caused by
over-worked and unhappy people, in
the dark views which they necessarily
take up themselves and force upon
others of work itself. l believe the
fact of their being unhappy is in itself
a violation of divine law and sign of
some kind of folly or sin in their way
Of life. Now, in order that people may
be happy in their work, these three
things are needed: They must be fit
fer it; they must not do too much OF
it; and they must have a sense OF
success in it.-Ruskin.

For some tine tracks that old timers
declare were those Of wolves had been
seen. Scoffers pronounced it impossi-
bic, but more tracks were seen.
Strange noises were heard at night:
chickens disappeared; even a sheep or
two and small calves were killed and
partly deyoured
Finally George Hamper, in charge of
a clubhouse and tic Surrounding farm,
killed full grown wolf and, skinning
it carefully, had the skin stuffed and
mounted. Hunters, of course, envied
Hampers good fortune However, this
was not the only opportunity afforded.
The depredatiOns continued.
Wolves were often seen in the gray
of early morning Selling chickens and
devouring such carcasses of animals
as had not been buried
No one secured another successful
shot and apparently the wolf pack was
thriving and waxing larger and bolder
Several farmers along the river set
traps, only to find them empty morning

Hamper determined apon trying his
fortune as a trapper He hauled ref
use. throwing it into considerable piles
in such positions as to form hollow
square, in the centre of which was a
dead horse. Between eash two piles
he set strong trap SO that to get
at the meat the wolves must pass over
the traps or leap over the piles
Everything ready, Hamper and his
men were anxious for the morning 1t
came, but no wolf was covering in a
trap. The next day, however, as they
were husking corn one of the men de-
clared that he saw something moving
among the refuse piles.
1t proved to be full grown wolf,
and male. How to secure him alive
without encountering danger puzzled
them little; but one of the men cut a
forked stick and held it uron his neck
with sufficient force to pin him to the /,
ground and to prevent him turning his
head to- bite.

There was woe in Brunonia's cup last
evening when the result OF the game yes
terday was made known and it was found
that the Green OF the hills Of Vermont
had triumphed over the Brown and White

they should fall into the same heresy.
