Vv henever I chance in this wide world to meet A girl that is thougtless, a hoy that is wild, 1.1 y heart echoes softly: l4tTis some mother's child." And when I see those o'er whom long years have rolled, Whose hearts ha ve grown hardened, whose spirits are cold lie it woman all fallen, or man all de filed, A voice whispers sadly: Ah! some nioth er's child. No matter how far from the right she has strayed, No matter what inroads dishonor hath made, No matter what elements have canker ed the pearl Though tarnished or sullied she is rome mother's girl. No matter how wayward his footsteps have bfen, No matter how deep he is sunken in sin No matter how low is his standard of joy inougu guilty anu loainsome, ne is some mother's boy. That head has been pillowed on tendei- est breast, Ihnt form has ben wept o'er, those lips have been pressed, That sou has boeu praywd for in tones sweet and mild, For her sake deal gently with some mother's child . Francis L. Keller, in Home and Country. VIRGIN A POPULISTS The Populists of Virginia have held their State Convention and nomi nated the following ticket : For Governor, S.

"Only a boy,'' is a vr-r? common phras?, and it gensrally means th?it a youngster cannot be expected to nettle down to the serious business of life and achieve any marked degree of success. This is a mistake. Frauk Haan, of Ingersoll, Tox is sixteen rears old. He hasjuot quit school niter winning several prizes. During his school days he cultivated t'rree aors of land at odd times, producing cab bages weighing 30 pounds and onion averaging a pound each. The crop netted him enough to pay for forty- eight head ol range cattle. This year young Hogan has rented fifteen acres irom his father, furnish ing all the vegetables the fimily can consume as rental. He will have four iicres of oats that wdl vield seventy-five bushels per acre, sir acr of Irish potatoes yielding about twenty barrels to the acre, three acres of c.-ibba;e that hive 9. 000 plants to he acre, expecting to average eight )ound8 ti, the head, and the remain der of the land is devoted to onions that will yield 600 bushels to the acre. Hq is also raising a large number f turkeys. The boy works only one hand, and will clear at least 91.000 for his year's work. He is aocv offer-id $1 .5 ) por barrell for unions, 3 cents per pound for cab bage, and $2 per birrei for potatoes. He lakes several agricultural journals, and is quite an authority on all mat ters pertaining to farming. T.iere is plenty of roora in the South for such bovs. Thev need- ed to heip the oid folks and t a i- vertise the facrto the world that, firm mg m this region is a money, making :usines whe 1 it is properly managed That boy deserves a medal- At lanta Constitution.

The farmer has bis drawbacks o' course, and his produce often does not bring him as much as it should, but nia position of indiptrndence if he makes the most of his opportnnit s and advantages, puts him a long way ahead of us. As an exchange savs in these times of financial stringency, when the banker, the merchant, the mechanic and the professional men are at their wits' end to keep enough cah on hand to supply the neces- j saries of life, the independent posi j tioa of the farmer is sharply illustrat- : ed. H13 hens furnish eggs: his cows ! milk and butter, his garden season- ale yegetables and fruits, his corn I the i weetest of meal, his poultry ynrd, ' pigsty and pasture the best of mean j and the surplus yield of his well tilled fields are readllv exchanged ior rhat ' he does not prodace. Happy and en viable is the lot of the fanner ! GoM Leaf. STRENGTH and HEALTH.
