TIE CRY OF THE DREAMER.

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.
am tired Of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart weary Of building and spelling.
And spelling and building again.
And / long for the dear old river.
Where i dreamed my youth away,
For a dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in "a day.
am sick OF the snowy seeming
OF a life that is half a lie,
or the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by;
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
/ would go where the children play,
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a thinker dies in a day.
can feel no pride. but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There IL nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives Of the poor.
Oh. the little hands too skillful
And the child-mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown willful
And the fathers heart that bleeds!
No. no. From the streets rude hustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
i would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as OF old by the river
And be loved for the dream Away,
For a dreamer lives forever.
And toiler dies in a day.

LETTER TO
H. J. STANDARD,
BARTON, VT.

Dear Sir: We should like to set your boys
and girls at work on this question in arith-
metic and casuistry.
farmer is fatting three hogs in three small
pens; they have equal room and straw and
care and are fed in these three ways first
hog on a certain proportion of milk and
cooked cornmeal; Sc cord hog, on the same,
half water; third hog on the same, half water
and sawdust. How long will it take, how
much will they weigh, how much will they
cost, and what'll the profit be on the three
And similar question in pigmentry. That
same farmer is going to paint three barns
same size; and he says to three painters
"What'll you take to paint that barn?"
First painter scratches his head a few min
utes and says, 'I'll do it for $780,"
Second painter: "s75."
Third painter: "$97.45"
Will they each get barn to paint, or one
get two, or one all three, nobody any; and
what'll they;make on the job?
| But there is a way to reckon: $500 gallon.
| The difficulty is in knowing how many gall
! Ions to buy. There's a way out of that.
| Buy the least gallons paint, Devoe. No
matter how much one buys; he returns what's
| left: costs nothing.

PREACHING In Labrador,

An old missionary who had been
many years in Labrador was at length
compelled to return, his influence all
gone and his mission entirely fruitless.
A young man was appointed in his
place, and before he went to his assign
ment he thought he would visit his
venerable predecessor and learn from
him the cause of his trouble in the
land of icebergs. The old man received
him very cordially.
"My venerable brother" said the
young man, II wish you to tell me the
cause Of your difficulty that / may
avert like failure"
"My young friend" said the old
missionary, laying his hand on his
brothers arm; this was the rock /
split on. l preached to those untu-
tored savages a hell that was hot,
and they rather liked the idea Of go
ing there. l think if you preach them
a hell so degrees colder than Labrador
you will drive them all to repentance ~

The Best Fertilizer for SeedipS
Down

Farmers who are looking for frst-
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
Summer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula. This formula was
devised by the Director of the Ver-
mont Experiment Station at Burling-
ton and published in Bulletin No. 116
of the station The amounts named
are for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 800 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 300 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash, so to 20 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture are
all recognized as valuable fertiliZing
agents but with the exception of
Ashes they have heretofore been diff
fcult to obtain in the markets of
Vermont. This condition is now
changed and all the materials Of this
formula-except the Ashes, which the
farmer can usually furnish himself
can be purchased of Carroll 8. Page,
Hyde Park, VT, who will be pleased
to make quotations on application.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid
Phosphate he sells are the purest that
can be bought and his Raw Ground
Bone is guaranteed to be absolutely
pure and the best the market affords.
The Bone which he offers is simply
the finer particles that are sifted out
of the coarser GRADUATED Bone that
goes into the manufacture of his
Pages Perfected Poultry Food. 1t
should not be confounCed with the
Bone ordinarily offered by the trade
as that has usually been steamed or
treated with acids. Tt will be usually
found that practically all the nitro
| genous elements have been removed
to make glue, thus taking away
the most valuable part of the bone.
If you are interested in the matter of
Summer or Fall seeding or of Fertili-
zers for any purpose, write him for
information and prices, mentioning
this paper.

clerk to give out a notice in church in
regard TO them Immediately after the
sermon The clerk, however. had a no
tice OF his own to give with reference
TO the baptism Of infants. Accordingly
at the close Of the sermon he announc-
ed: All those who have children they
wish baptized please send in their
names at once" The clergyman. who

On Falling In Love.

Falling In love Is the one illogical
adventure, the one thing of which we
are tempted TO think as supernatural,
in our trite and reasonable world. The
effect is out OF all proportion to the
cause Two persons, neither of them,
It may be, very amiable or very beau
tiful, meet, speak a little and look
little into each others eyes. That has
been done a dozen or so OF times in
the experience OF either with no great
result. But on this occasion all is diff
ferent. They fall at once into that
state in which another person becomes
20 us the very gist and center point Of
Gods creation and demolishes our la
borious theories with smile; in which
our ideas are so bound up with the one
master thought that even the trivial
cares Of our own person become so
many acts Of devotion, and the love Of
life itself Is translated into wish TO
remain in the same world with so
precious and desirable a fellow crea-
ture. And all the while their acquaint-
ances look on In Stupor and ask each
other, with almost passionate empha-
sis. what So-and-so can see In that
woman or Such-an-one in that man?
I am sure, gentlemen, l cannot tell

The Mask OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really as Well
as They Look. Cause and
Remedy

ncuIcuy.
Many people in Barton, both men
and women, who believe themselves
to be in perfect health, are often in
the greatest danger.
The most common cause of i'll health
i, indigestion, with myriad of symp-
toms such as headache, sleeplessness,
specks before the eyes, pains in the
back and side, distress after eating,
etc.
In the last few years the success
of physicians everywhere with Miro
ma stomach tablets has made them
known far and wide as the ac-
knowledged specific for the treat
ment of stomach diseases. They
strengthen the digestive organs so
that in few days the stomach is in
such shape that it takes care itself OF
all the food that is eaten without pain
or distress.
Fred D. Pierce gives an absolute
unqualified guarantee that your
money will be refunded unless Miro

and the remedy will not cost you a
penny unless 1t cures you.

CunarG, the Whittier.

Sam Cunard, the whiting Scotch lad
of Glasgow, wrought out many odd in
ventions with braia and jackknife. but
they brought neither honor nor profit
until he was consulted by Burns &
McIvor, who wished to increase their
facilities for carrying foreign mails.
The model of a steamship which Sam
whitfield out for them was carefully
copied for the first vessel of the great
Cunard line and became the standard
type for all the magnificent ships since
constructed by the firm. When Sam
uel Cunard was knighted, he did not
forget that he owed his honors and his
wealth to conscientious whiting

Two OF a Kind.

II was a sleighing party. One of the
seats contained two gentlemen and one
lady, the lady sitting in the middle.
After a time the gentleman on the
right passed his hand into the lady's
muff, and the lady withdrew her right
hand. At the same time the gentle
man on the left passed his hand into
the muff, and the lady withdrew her
left hand. There were then some in
dications Of an athletic contest, a test
OF gripping power, inside of the muff,
and later the lady, raising her two
hands, said, cit is very selfish of you

The Value of Laughter.

'T find nonsense singularly refresh
Ing" said Talleyrand. There is good
philosophy in the saying, Laugh and
grow fat" Laughter begins in the
lungs and diaphragm, setting the liver,
stomach and other internal organs into
a quick, jelly-like vibration which
gives pleasant sensation and exercise
almost equal to horseback riding. The
heart beats faster, sends the blood
bounding through the body, increases
the respiration and gives warmth and
glow to the whole system. Laughter
brightens the eye, increases the perspi-
ration, expands the chest, forces the
poisoned air from the least used lung
cells and tends to restore that exqui-
site poise or balance which we call
health and which results from the har-
monious action of all the functions of
the body. This delicate poise, which
may be destroyed by a sleepless night,
a piece OF bad news, by grief or ankle
ty, is often wholly restored by good
hearty laugh. A jolly physician is often
better than all his pills.-O. S. Marden.

The Wicked Do Not Laugh.

The envious, wicked and malevolent
rarely laugh, because they are impreg-
mated with bile and are therefore mo-
rose. The naughty, the vain and the
awkward also laugh very little, for fear
of losing their dignity. The Spanish
people, proverbially grave, are good
example-LOuis Mann.

The Aonostic.

The term agnostic. coined by the late
Professor Huxley, is from the Greek
word gnosis, with the Greek negative
prefix meaning not knowing. The ag-
