Dr. Talmage, one of the gree cs, pulpit orators, in one of his sermo1* on the "Spirit of the press" said; "To publish a newspaper requires the skill,the precision, the boldness, the vigilance, the strategy of a com- mander in chief. To edit a newspa» per requires that one be a statesman;. an essayet, a geographer, a . statisti- cian and, in acquisition, encyclopedi- ac.

If you feel like start- ing a newspaper, secular pr religious understand that you are being threat- ened with softening of the brain or lunacy, and throwing your pocket- book into your wife's lap, start for some insane asylum before you do something desparate. "First of all, newspapers _make knowledge democratic and for the multitude. The public library is a Haymow so high up that few can reach it while the newspaper throws clown the forage to our feet. Pub- lic libraries are the reservoirs where the great floods are stored high up and away off. The newspaper is the tunnel that brings them clown to the. pitchers of all the people. The chief use of great libraries is to make newspapers out of. Great libraries make a few men and women very wise. Newspapers lift whole nations into the sunlight. "You cannot find ten literary men in Christendon with'strong minds and great hearts but are or ,have been somehow connected with the news- paper printing press. While the book will always have its place, the newspaper is more potent. Because the latter is multitudinous do not in- clude it is necessarily superficial. If a man should from childhood to old age see only his Bible, Webster's Dic- tionery and his newspaper, he could b, prepared for all the duties of this life and all the happiness of the next. "There is not a single doctrine of theology but has been discussed in the last ten years by the secular newspapers of the country. They gather up all the news of all the earth bearing on religious subjects and then they scatter the news abroad again. The Christian newspaper will be the right wing of the • apoca- lyptic angel. The cylinder of the Christianized printing press will be the front wheel of the Lord's chariot." THE FIREPLACE Notwithstanding all the modern in- ventions for heating I tell you there is nothing so full of geniality and so- ciability as the old fashioned coun- try fire place. The neighbors were to come in for a winter evening of sociability. In the middle of the af- ternoon, in the room in the house, some one brought in a great back log, with great strain and put it down on the back of the hearth. Then the lighter was put on armful after arm- ful. Then a shovel of coal was taken from another room and put under the dry pile, and the kindling began, and the crackling, and it rose until it be- came a roaring flame which filled all the room with geniality and was re- flected from the family pictures on the wall. Then the neighbors came in two by two. They sat down, their faces to the fire, which ever and anon was stirred with tongs and readjust- ed on the andirons and there were such times of rustic repartee andstory telling and mirth as the black stove and blind register never dreamed of, meanwhile the table was being spread and so fair was the cloth and so clear was the cutlery they glisten and glis- ten in our minds to -day. And then the best luxuryof orchards and farm yard was roasted and prepared for the table to.Ineet the appetites sharp- ened by the cold ride. We heartily wish for a return of the old fire place. Our readers, whose locks have whiten- ed by the frost of many winters, know that this pen picture of the fire place is true to life. Don't be afraid to do your duty be- cause some one ridicules or opposes you. A man who has opinions of his own and the courage to advocate them viii be sure to have opposition in this world because he runs contrary to other people's opinions; but just keep ahead if your cause if right and your conscience clear. Don't bother your- self about what people say; life is too short for that. Some will abuse you through envy, others for the want of principle, and some because they hon- estly differ from, you; but if you keep on right openly, manfully and intelli- gently and with proper dignity and and character, honesty of purpuse and self-respect, those who differ from you will respect your opinions.

Dated at Exeter the 20th day of March 19 ty state was for horses 95, milch cows 94, other cattle 91, sheep 95, and swine 94. In the Maritime provinces Quebec and Ontario, the winter prov- ed exceptionally mild; and, with an abundance of fodder, all descriptions of farm life came well through. In the Northwest provinces live stock did well on the whole; but in many local- ities cattle suffered through the lack of prairie hay, which was spoiled by last year's heavy rains. Many deaths a- mongst young pigs were attributed to the cold farrowing season. The win- ter proved long and cold in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but was usually mild and open in Alberta. Indications at the end of March were for an early Spring and sowing seasons throughout the eastern part. of Canada; but in the Northwest pro- vinces, where deep snows and severe cold persisted during March, it was anticipated that sowing would be late, with few exceptions the fall wheat in southern Ontario was reported to be in fine condition. It was too early to report on the fall wheat of Alberta. Archibald Blue. YOUR interest, and the interest of all our customers, have al- ways been the first consider- ation with us.

Dated at Exeter the 20th day of March 19 ty state was for horses 95, milch cows 94, other cattle 91, sheep 95, and swine 94. In the Maritime provinces Quebec and Ontario, the winter prov- ed exceptionally mild; and, with an abundance of fodder, all descriptions of farm life came well through. In the Northwest provinces live stock did well on the whole; but in many local- ities cattle suffered through the lack of prairie hay, which was spoiled by last year's heavy rains. Many deaths a- mongst young pigs were attributed to the cold farrowing season. The win- ter proved long and cold in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but was usually mild and open in Alberta. Indications at the end of March were for an early Spring and sowing seasons throughout the eastern part. of Canada; but in the Northwest pro- vinces, where deep snows and severe cold persisted during March, it was anticipated that sowing would be late, with few exceptions the fall wheat in southern Ontario was reported to be in fine condition. It was too early to report on the fall wheat of Alberta. Archibald Blue. YOUR interest, and the interest of all our customers, have al- ways been the first consider- ation with us.
