"'Oh, Dick, the., gun? she" "almost;
gasped, as a small puff of smoke shot out
from- the chip's Bide, followed instantly
by the dull boom of a cannon. .
"'Yes, the gun; all hands aboard!' lvd
enswered cheerily $ 'and now give me a

J "His forced gayety could not. disguise
the ,Badr:wistful expression in. tho dark
eyes nor wholly conceal the bitterness he
felt at parting. ,. She, popr girl, clang to
him passionately for the few. momenta
yet remaining." Then ; he tincLasped her
arms from his neck and bounded .away
to tli o.wai ting boat. . . -
"Jean, with eyes half hlinded by the
dews of sorrow, stood, like a statue and
watched him fcatili;d on board. Swiftly
the sails unfurled and the' great ship, like
a graceful swan,-gqve to the breeze and

"It's a beautiful sight to sea a goodly,
full rigged ship riding at anchor, bathed'
in an autumnal sun, .rising, falling on the
. never ending waves that impart to it a
look of impatience to be' off a beautiful
eight, indeed; when the great white wings
' unfold and this stately bird of the ocean
moves gradually away until lost in the'
haze of distance. " .- '
- " I think Jean failed to note its beoutier,
just then, however, she was so broken by
this new grief uf parting, ' -
"I used to meet her very often at tha,
nook during the days that followed. She
pame to look upon the spot,. I suppose, as
a sort of connecting link between herself
and her far away lover, and visited it the
"more frequently on that account. Later
on I found Mr. Thomley about as regular
. inb.i3 comings, and I seriously contem
plated a change of bise . for my musings,
' as they disturbed my best thoughts not a
little. . Then I commenced speculating on
: the final result of these meetings, ;
t ,"I" think we air ha've-a fancy that a
'girl's love is influenced mostly by the
' Bplendor of the offerings held out, and Mr.
Thomley's wealth to the simple minds of
- the fisher folk was something fabulous.
"True,-! had witnessed her. very evi
dent distress at parting with Dick, buf
Dick was gone now, and, worse still, no
word had come from him to. the hungry
hearted girl, although others on the ves
eel with him had embraced several op
portunitiea of sanding" messages to loved
-ones left, as was well known, so why
could not he? Then, too', an absent lover
is' a poor weapon to , beat back the a
gressive advances of a determined rival,
backed,' as in this case, by the express
wishes of both the parents of the defense

dog invariably calls forth our sympathy,
thougJi we "may know he was the cause
of the quarrel and brought the fight upon

Barret on much the same principle ho
being ther absent and less favored of tho
two. . . ' ' ' ' '"
. - "One day I found Jean weeping. " A
man can not withstand a woman's tears,
and before I reaay knew what I was
about I found myself trying to quiet her
and leara the cause of her grief. It waa
; a disconnected story mixed with a good
many sobs, but I got tho whole of it ai

"Early confession is good for the bur-

both that the threat , was due more to

This is a question of -wide importance ; '
As a rule, perhaps, the answer would he,
from a special standpoint, iu the ' negative.

The agricultural interests of this country
underlie all others ; and if these are profita
ble, what is there that is unprofitable?
People are apt to think that their own

many 'Farmers are noTfrea from worry,
bat this is insignificant compared with the
annoyance of city life.' ,Thero is much in
the latter that ia superficial, ' There U but a
small percentage of it that is substantial.
It is truly said that riches take wings a n
disappear, Thie U esiecia!ly true of the
people who work for a living ia citios. It
is not largely true of the tillers of the soil.
Among the latter aro not many millionaires.
How many are there amocg city people ?
The percentage 'is exoL.e.dagiy small.
' Much is said of salaries and incomes of
city people ; "but what is left in the aggra"
gate or on an average after securing a sup
port? ":'::.::,.".
Farmers first have a . living, All above
that is- counted as profit. City people, as a'
rule, if they secure a subsistence are' fortu
Bfcte. They have little in reserve..- ;
- Taking matters altogether, 'there is no
class more independent than those who own
good farms. -" All is not gold that : glitters,
in a tsenne city life may glitter, butriSTnTcf
all gold. There in too much about the lat.
tor that is - superficial. ' Worry; is at the

"Phe unemployed people iu every city and
village constitute a large percentage of the
wuoie population, ine buoer wt.o to
day do not know where ' the bread of to
borrow is to come from is enormous.
Povtrty and idleness lead to crime Tle
latter is, therefore, . one cf the shocking
feat urea of city life. - ,
Contrast this with life in rnial dlsfricta.-'
The percentage of crime ' outside . of cities
and villages is email. Hence one of the
worst and most discouraging featnrt3 cf the
census is that which shows the tend-ocy cf
population from the country to the cities,
towns and villages. J .-.:.: " v. .
