Sitting by ray study table, In the twilight cold and gray, Toying with an ancient volume That had long been laid away. From between the covers fluttered,' Fell, and lay before me there, A bunch ot violets, fastened With a curl of golden hair. In a moment all my fancies Of the future backward roll, While memories of other days Come sweeping in upon my soul, Days when 1, a youth of twenty, Free from every thought or care, Fondly lovea the blue-eyed one who Wore that curl of golden hair. I think of that bright summer eve, When, sitting 'neath the archinc vine, The little hand that plucked those flow ers Lay so lovingly in mine, While we builded airy castles Which we might together share, When the wedding wreath should twine Among tiiose curls of golden hair. And when at last that night I lelt her At her father's cottage door, Little dreaming I should see her Lovely form in life no more, Long I stood and gazed enraptured At the dimpled face so fair, Then stooned and kissed the soft white head Beneath its crown of golden hair. Ere long I stood beside a casket, In a silent, darkened room And my poor, despairing soul Was wrapped in deepest, midnight eloom, For I looked upon my darling, Lying cold and lifeless there, A wreath of snow white lilies mingled With her wealth of golden hair. Long weary years have passed since then And I have roamed the world oer Have stood upon the mountain peak, And on the ocean's stormy shore ; Yet, through all ot life's emotions, In hope and iov, or doubt and care, The link4hat binds my soul to heaven, Is that bright curl of golden hair.

They Should be Proud of Their Call ing. THEY SHOULD STAY ON THE FARM. Waldo F. Brown, in the Stockman and Farmer, has the following on "A' Few Words With The Boys" : "I have rarely written to any partic ular class in the many years that I have contributed to your paper, but I wish in this to talk of and to the farm boys who are still on the farm, but perhaps debating whether to stay there or not. I recognize the fact that not all the boys can stay on the farm, and that many are needed in the various walks of life, and will be useful and happy in th-dr chosen callings. On the other hand, I know that many farmers' boys are dissatisfied because they think that they must work harder on the farm than in most other callings and re ceive for the work less pay, and that their chances for financial success will be greatly improved by changing from farm to city life. One thing which has contributed to their discontent is the fact that for several years past the profits of farming have been affected by exceptionally low prices of some of the leading products, and drouth and flood have greatly injured the crops. Yet during all these years there have been some paying products, and many managed so intelligently and cultiva ted so thoroughly that that they have made a good profit. I believe that tak ing the last ten years, which are cer tainly more unfavorable than any oth er consecutive ten during the last forty, a larger per cent, of the farmers have lived comfortably and saved money than of men engaged in any other in dustrial calling. "One other thought troubles many of the boys on the farm. They see many farmers whose lives seem to have in them little worth living for. They plod along in a dull routine of work, and are uncouth in speech and dress, and seem to have either never had any ambition to improve their condition in life, or to have lost it if they had, and I do not blame them from shrinking from such a fate. Now, I would not advise a boy whose tastes are so deci dedly in favor of some other employ- ment that he cannot be happy and contented on the farm to stay there, but I would ask eyery young man to ook all facts in the face and weigh the matter well belore coming to a decision. "J have had under my notice the armer boys of my locality, and know low they have succeeded, and perhaps, can give some light on the question of lard work and little chances for profit. Three years ago two of them on neigh- boringing farms started in business for themselves, one going to the city and the other taking his father's farm on shares. Both were bovs of good habits and principles, with 'energy and pluck md a determination to succeed. The boy who stayed on the farm has saved several hundred dollars, and will in a ev years have enough capital to start in business for himself, either on a rented farm or to buy a small farm, with a fair prospect of becoming its owner and out of debt by the time he reaches middle life. The other young man was successful in at once securing a situation with a firm of good men, and has remained with them till the present and expects to for years to come. He began at $4 a weeek and increased to 5 before the year was out, but his board and room cost $3 a week, and washing, clothing and other nec essary expenses cost $1.20, more than his salary. The second year his pay was advanced to $7 per week, but he did not quite make expenses, and the third year he received $8 per week and spent it all. "To be sure, there is an occasional young man who gets promoted more rapidly and begins to save money soon er than this one, yet I think he has had fully average success, anu possi bly more. The fact is, there are more applicants than positions in the com mercial world, and this very fact keeps wages down. As to which one works the harder, I presume the farmer boy has some days of harder work than the 4 EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. boy in the store, but tbere is a gre.it variety in the work on the farm, and rainy days nnd winter there is butjlit tle to do, and no night work. The loys in the store work from 0 o'clock in the morning until 8 at night, and in a grocery until 0 o'clock or later on Saturday nights. The farmer oy can always have two hours a day to read if he wishes to : the boy in the store does not get two hours a week for reading, unless he takes it from the time when he ought to sleep. "Again, the loy on the farm is quite certain to form habits ot economy which will be a help to him through life, while the boy in the city has great temptations to spend, anc" often yields to them. The boy who settles down on the farm is always sure of work at good wages. The supply of good farm hands does not equal the demand, while the reverse is true of nearly all classes of workmen in cities. There is no ty rannical labor union to interfere with the farmer's right to work, and no mat ter how hard the times may be he has an abundance to eat and a home to live in. He has no chance to become a millionaire, it is true, but a much bet ter chance to own a home, and one that will support him at that, than the clerk in the city. Three or four thou sand dollars invested in a small farm which the owner has learned to man age wisely means a good living and se curity for old age, while the same amount put into a residence in the city means that you must live in an unde sirable neighborhood, and you must pay heavy taxes and get nothing from it towards the support of a family ex cept a place to live in. "The farmer who studies his busi ness and understands the forces at his command cannot fail to be an intelligent man, so that no young man need fear that the calling will degrade him. Forty years ago 1 attained my majority, and at that time was debating the question of what my life work should be. I had met with fair succees as a teacher and was disposed to make that my profession, but 1 dedcided in favor of the farm, and have never regretted it, and I believe that I have better health, have had less care and worry, and probably as much money and in fluence i s I could have hoped for as a teacher." Rules for the Journey of Life. Christian Standard. The following rules, from the papers of Dr. West, according to his memo randum, are thrown together as general waymarks in the journey of life : Never to ridicule sacred things, or what othei-s may esteem as much, how ever absurd they may appear to be. Never show levity when people are engaged at worship. Never to resent a supposed injury till I know the views and motives of the author of it. Not any occasion to re late it. Alwas to take the part of an absent person, who is censured in company, so far as truth and propriety will allow. Never to think the worse of another on account of his differing from me in political and religious opinions. Not to affect to be witty, or jest so as to wound the feelings of another. To say as little as possible of myself and those who are near me. To aim at cheerfulness without levi ty. Never to court the favor of the rich by flattering either their vanities or their vices. To speak with calmness and deliber ation on all occasions, especially in cir cumstances which tend to irritate. Frequently to review my conduct and note my feelings. Cure For Headache.
