and his hours are long, but he is
always on the job and can be de.
pended upon. His school is far
from the best in the land and fire.
quently inconvenient; neverthe-
less, from his humble home con
tinually pours a stream of pure,
undiluted, unpolluted, red blood
ed manhood and Womanhood, in
to the towns and cities of the
country to save civilization from
dry rot. His church is generally
is Of such meager membership
as to be unable to support what
| is known in our citiesas AN able
PASTOR" yet his religion is of the
most enduring kind. When the
world becomes ratified and frus-
trated, as it is today, he is the
last to lose his balance. His wife
and daughter are generally THEN

their hands may not be able tC

ment those soul, stirring strains
of music, but they are the EN-.
bodiment of purity;and theprice-
less gem of Feminine chastity is
locked up in their spotless souls.
The farlnernourishes thatSpir-
it of civil and religious liberty
with a jealousy which would put
many of his city dwelIcrs tC
shame and he looks for no new
tangled doctrines and religious
theories, being content with the
child-like faith of the old story o.
the Cross. Aye, truly, the vine
clad cottage of the hillside" the
rural home of the farmer SIS the
true citadel of our country. The
farmer to the rescue: the glory
of the land is his. The Stanley
