On# of my kyaa had bean Injured,
and a atrip of llnaa waa laid over both

had closed conatderabl. ekcltemrut la

This was aa tar aa ! could go la ay

This 1 did. The son. Ed Murray,
waa about my age, and I took re pedal
palaa to cultivate him. Be wax noth

that tbe kisser, asetng me going about

and It waa quite likely that by hetsg

quite sera aba would show la ber few

Time passed, and. baring thus far
failed. I concluded to reveal ay secret

walt mason on field perils
The farmer plant* hie field of com
-tb* kind that doesn't pop—and
hope* that on some autumn mom be
will start to shuck his crop. And
shuck hie crop he often does, which
is exceeding qiycer, for blights end
Perils fairly buxx around it through
out th* year. I think it strange that
fanners raise the goodly crop* they
do, for they era scrapping all their
days against a deadly crew. To plant
and till will not suffice; the men must
ntrain their frames, to kill th* bugs
and worm* and rouys, and peat* with
Latin names. The cat worm* ent,
the chinehbags chinch, th* weevil
weaves Its ill, and other pesta come
up and pinch the corn and eat lhair
fill. And then the rain works go on
strike, and gloom th* world *n
r.hrouds, and up and down th* burn
ing pike th* duet i* blown in clouds
And If oar pray/trs are of no avail,
and rain cornea in the night, it often
brings • grist of hail that riddle* all
in tight. And still the farmers rale*
their crops, and nail th* shining
plonk; none but the kicker stands
and yawns, and what be nays is
bunk. If all man brooded o’er their
WO**, end looked ahead for grief, ;
that gent would starve who gaily
goes to thresh th* golden elyeaf.
A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Those who have been clamoring
tor war base little Idea what ita
horrors ar*. Thisy think only of .ita
glamoor, lu gilt and feathers, the
binr* at trumpet* and shout of men;
but they Httle think of the suffering,
the tears and broken hearts, tha be
reaved homes end above all tha de
moralised society WJ* have had war
*-tough It It awful to realise that
thousand* of men ara to be swept
into eternity without preparation;
that thousands ar* to lie feverish
and fchllly through tha night, and
wholesale murder is to b* committed
under the name of wsr. Defensive
warfare Is jutldable, bat any other
kind Is wholesale murder, yst we
read of resolutions passed and edi
torials I written, advocating the set
sure of territory. Let thh people of
Ood everywhere pray that this hor
ror may be averted, and that tha
fellAsrsrt of the Prince of Psao* may
assert themselrvi. - prsabythrian
Standard.
