Stars* let me heat you ,shout!
" Why hang; ye leave? so still?
This night she faltered out
A rosy-bpped ”1 will.”
The blood rushed through my brain,
She turned her face to me?
Then kisses came like rain
Upon ii parched lea,
Lioht streamed from pole to pole.
The aif became peflufue,
And all my barren soul
BUrst into green and nlootri.
Oh, hour that bankrupts joy,
But perfects nature’s plan—
This morn I was a boy
And i.dvv lain a man.
Stars, let me hear ydtt shout I
Oh, leaves, hang not so still!
Wind, call yoUr music dtlt! .
My love has said ‘T Will!”

WHAT SliB SAYS;
My hope has then come true-^
He loves me, so he said;
How fast my pulses flew—
My cheek, it burned, how red I
Some things I seemed to hear.
And some i seemed to see;
Was it through eye or ear
He told his heart to the f
So high he seemed to stand,
My hope grew faint and dim;
His loVe came like a hand
And drew me up to hims
Within me, all is light—
How, why, I can not say,
For me, night is not nighty
And day is more than day i
And thus hay hope comes true—
Oh, hope how faint and dim;
And sd what can I do
But love and live for him ?

Good Farming*
In a long article oil the sub-
ject of good farming the agricul-
tural editor of the Detroit Tri-
bune reflects oilr ideas exactly.
He says it is entirely too com-
mon for farmers to feel that they
ought to have more laud, when
really they are in need of no
more* It is a mistaken notion
for men to consider that they are
only great when their acres are
counted by hundreds and thou-
sands, and their fences measured
by miles. Much we should re-
gret that the spirit which built
the old Norman castles, and
gained lordly estates iu England,
lingers still iu the bosom of
many a farmer in this country,
and spurs his ambition to be-
come a governor or lord of a
miniature estate. There is no
greater folly than this. It is not
the owner of great acres who is
the pattern farmer as a rule, but
the man who rais* s the highest
average number of bushels or
tons to the acre. The model
farmer is not lie Who sells the
largest number of car loads, but
it is he who makes the most
clean cash for the labors ex
pended.
It a man has the means, he
ma.y become the oWllef of a
township and take his twenty
mile circuit daily to overlook
his grand operations, and it may
please his ambition to direct
and control a large body of
Working inen and sell his vast
products directly to agents of
foreign governments, neverthe-
less his profits on a bushel of
grain may not be, and probably
are not, as large as the eighty-
acre tanner realizes from his
crop. There is a just limit in
the business of farming, beyond
which it. is not policy or profita
ble to go, merely for the purpose
of Self-gratification or self-glori-
fication.
The really good farmer seeks
to make the most from each acie,
and this should be the aim of
every one who owns a farm.
These laud misers are a bad ele-
ment in the country. They in-
jure labor interests and educa-
tional interests, and the less we
have of them the better for the
community. Small farms, well
tilled by intelligent owners,
make better society and sustain
and foster general enterprise
and education iu the highest de-
gree.—Mobile Register.

Because it tells how to raise chickens, how to make pickles,
how to destroy flies, how to raise children, and a great
many other things the housekeeper understands
better than the pajper does.
YOUNG LADIES SHOULD TAKE IT
Because it is reliable in making their toilets. Its a
“bustling” paper any how.
The Merchant should Take it
Because it gives a price current of foreign and domestic
markets; tells how much wheat, corn, rye, oats and cot-
ton has been raised, and gives them valuable hints in re-
gard to their business, that they might never learn
otherwise.
HOTEL KEEPERS SHOULD MB IT
For the benefit of their guests.
Sportsmen Should Take It
Because it makes good gun-wadding

Because it tells how to cure the croup, measles, ear-ache,

Ministers Should Take It
Because after a good deal of reflection, we can find no good
reason why Ministers should take it except that We send
it to them for nothing, and pay the postage ourselves, and
they should take it to encourage our liberality and po-
liteness, if for no other reason. Send in your names and
address.
EVERY 01 TAKE IT
Because it would be mutually advantageous to all to do
so. The subscriber would get the worth of his money, and
we would get the use of it—grow rich, live virtuous, die
happy, and found a hospital, and live in story and in song,
like Horace Greeley, Jack Shepard, Bill Arp, and other
noted literary characters.
