He has been busy perfecting plans to snatch
the government from the people since the first
day OF his exile. To make his business solely
his own. he purchased an island near his native
land which made the matter OF recovering pow.

A PRAYER
BY A. H. C.

Great God. who helps the erring soul
Through all the ways OF life,
Keep us from sin when with the shoal,
From shame amid the strife
We are so weak without Thy aid
Our footsteps soon must falter
And stumbling by our passion swayed
The way grows sad and darker
The pilgrimage from life to death
Is sometimes lone and dreary.
And ere we breathe our fieeting breath
We are so worn and weary 49,.
Oh, he Thou merciful. Great God ...
Remember we are frail
And when our house succumbs to sod
Look lenientiy DER our trail
Help us TO seek for more than gain
In gold and earthly treasures;
Help us. each fiery passion slain,
And noble deeds are precious
Help us to learn that Thou will guide
Us through this fleetins life;
We are by sin and passion tied
But Thou canst quell the strife
We lean TO Thee, o God divine,
In trembling doubt and fear:
We seek Thy guidance al Thy shrine,
When blinded by our tears.
Oh! take us when life has ended
To that bright and dazzling shore.
And in peace forever blended
we shall dream OF pain no more.

The NobIest Profession of All.

Back to- the farm rallies are IN
creasingly frequent. from one end of
the country to the other, From Maine
to California. scientific agricultural
lists are encouraging the tillers OF the
soil to come together and listen to
modern ways of tickling the earth
and of bringing therefrom two blades
of grass where one has grown before
One suggestion which we would like
TO offer is that more of the horny
handed sons of the soil who have
wrested from Dame Nature by
strength or arms and unceasing toll,
a mere subsistence. should take more
aetive part in these gatherings. Many
of these men who have little knoWl-
edge of scientific farming are blessed
with a natural fund of common sense
which should be useful, if plainly and
frankly expressed to the scientific
agriculturalists themselves. We be-
lieye that each can give to the other;
that a fair exchange is no roppefy
and that interchange of thought and
experience. of science and practical
demonstration, should add to the sum
total of agricultural knowledge.
