A Christmas Prayer.
Lord, for the lonely heart
I prey apaxt.
Now, for the GOD of sorrow
Whom this to -morrow
Reeoiceth not, 0 Lerd,
Hear my weak word !
For lives too bitter to be borne,
For the tempted and the torn,
For the prisoner in the cell,
For the shame lip doth not tell,
For the haggard suicide
Peace, peace, this Chrieireastide !
Into the desert,. trod
By the long sick, 0 God);
Into the patient gloord
Of that sniallrcom
Where lies the child of pain
Of all neglected raost-be fain
To enter, healing, and remain.
Novr, at the fall of day,
I bow and pray.
Forthose who cannot sleep
A watch I keep.
Oh, let the starving brain
Ile fete and tett again ;
At Thy behest
The tortured nerve find rest.
I see the vacant °heir.
Father of souls, prepare
My poor thought's feeble power
To plead this hour:.
For the empty, aching home
Where the silent footstep* come,
Where the unseen face looks on,
Where the handeslasp is not felt,
Where the dearest eyes are gone,
Where the leortrait on the wall
Stirs andatrusegles m to *speak,
, Where the light breath from the hall
Calls the color to the cheek,
Where the voice breaks in the hymn
When the sunset burneth dim.
Where the late, large tear will start,
Frozen hy the broken heart,
Where the lesson is to learn
Now to live, to grieve, to yearn,
How to bear and how. to how.
Oh, the Christmas that is fled !
Lord of living and of dead,

Maine furnish a good lesson in the line of

State a hard, niggardly surface. Ohikihas
in abundance all the best minerals, Maine
none ii't granite and ice. Yet Maine is
rich and Ohio pnor 'These States have about
the same percentage of people who live by
farming, and likewise of those in other in -
(leadoff, In Maine, 92.38 per cent: own
their own farms, 71 per cent. in Ohio. A
number of Governors have in the last ten
years voiced the grief of Ohio farmers be-
cause they are so ,generally and heavily
mortgaged Governor Burleigh said in his
message of 1890 that no State in the Union
has so little property under mortgage or se
much money loaned out of the State per
capita as Maine 1 and added, there are
whole counties in which there is not a farm
under mortgage. In the State 78 per cent.
of farms are free from mortgage. Maine it
out of debt; Ohio's -obligations' exceed a
hundred millions. The savings banks fur-
nish pretty searching criteria of the financial
vigor and reserve forme of a nation. In
Maine these institutions have $43,000,000
on deposit for 133,000 owners ; in Ohio they
have $17,000,000, with a much smaller per
ceatage of depoaitors. Maine has 650,000
people, and holds to -each individual in her
banks $�; Ohio has to each of her 3,200,-
000, $6 ! So this State, which is the tip end
of every tippler's sneer because of Prohibi-
tion, with all natural advantages against
her,has eleven times as much cash in reserve
for each persoa's use as her rival, with lo-
cation, soil, climate and natural resources in
her favor. Both States have a sturdy, en-
terpriging yeomanry, and ‘. make genetous
provision for their mentil, moral and social
development. Why, then, should the
weaker be the etronger ? There is but one
answer to this enigma : Prohibition.
Forty years ago, pAaine put her ban on
the grog -shops ; andt in spite of the most
unscrupulous and satanie efforts of whole -
staters, retailers!, politicians and the devil,
they have very largely reduced the sale of
these noxious beverages, while brewery,
distillery and saloon have sunk out of s;ght.
Ire 1884, by a vote of three to one, she put
into her ,Constitution her anathema on the
drunkerd factories, and there it is to stay
till the nation becomes sober enough to fol-
low !mit. Ohio chose, under the lead of
stateemen who sneer at Maine's fanatics-, to
foster the liquor trade. She has had 100,-
000 drunkards all the time the last twenty
yee.ra ; she has buried a million in this hor-
rible, condition, and the six or eight hun-
dred millions which she would have if ae
rich as Maine, have gone to debauch her
Andrea, push them into beggary and crime,
into poorhouse and jail, and finally into
eternity under the baleful eclipse of sin
and shame. An equally telling refutation
ei thie serviceable old fraud can be drawn
from the eontrest in those twin States,
Kansas and Nebraska, in the work of Pro-
hibition as compared with high license, by
the revelations of the census of 1890. A
more impressive one could be written of the
poor little State I live in.—San Joss, Cosh

FAR AND WIDE.
Mrs. Langtry's example has already found
two imitators in France, for Mile Maxey, of
the Theatre Francais, and Mlle. Emilie
d'Alencon, one of the leading cafe chantant
singers, have purchased race horses e which
rim in their own names, as the French
Jockey Club does not allow owners to use
pseudonyms. The consequence i that
d'Alencon is obliged to otitet her
horses in her own name, which is Andre,
and her colors were recently-successfiil.
Herr Krupp has according to recent
etatistics, the highist declared ineoine in
Germany. It is -6,1760,000 marks per
annutn.
Mme. Millet, the widow of the painter of
"The Angelus," is very ill. About a month
ago she had a paralytic stroke and her
friends are greatly concerned about her. It
seems that Mme. Millet's is one of those
cases, where, after 'a great grief or ehock
all desire to live ceases completely, and
where life ebbs slowly away merely because
the "will" to live is absent. ,Not long ago
her youngest daughter, Mlle Mariahne Mil-
let, fell ill and died, and the widow, who,
by the way, lives at Barbizon, has ,uever
recovered from the shock. Mlie. Millet is
buried by her faeher's side at Chailly.
Sir Frederiok Leighton has fearlessly
taken a hand in the movement for the exhi-
bition of pictures and other works of art in
.London on the Sabbath. On a recent Sun-
day the president of the Royal Academy
opened his studio to the members of the
Sunday Society and personally conducted
his visitors over his domestic palace. The
marble basin in the hall affords much
amusement, for visitors have a knack of,
falling into it while stepping back to admire:
the ceiling.
Queen Victoria takes great interest in°
the progress of the science of electricity
and keeps au. courant with the latest inven-
tions. The phonegraph, which represents
•the artistic side of Science, was introduced
into her Majesty's houaehold some time ago,
and. everyone has heard of the initrument's
particular tour de force, the decl4mation of
the speech delivered at the Covent Garden
Opera House. The same apparatus varies
Lord Salisbury's utterances with the per-
formance of the Intermezzo. A Second set
of phonographic cylinders is being prepared
with seelctions from the Queen's favorite
operate.
Herr ltlannlielier's new iifie is said to be
a much more perfect one than any yet pro,
dueed. The rapidity wieh which it can be
fired is much faster than that of the quick-
est -firing rifle known. '
The Germanimperor has found an artis-
'tie use for whalebone other than that to
which modistes apply it. Upon the skeletons
of the cetaceans he conquered and cap-
tured on hie whaling cruise are to be paint-
ed by Fraulein Berg scenes which occurred
or which the Emperor witnessed during his
expedition,
and the pictures are to be
placed in the boathouse at Potsdam. The
illustrated hones are not to hang upon the
walls, but will be made into articles of fur-
niture. In the boat -house there are many
eouvenirs of the trip, including all the
photographs which were taken.
The Emperor of Russia has, it is report-
ed, been very curt in his refusal to be pres-
' ent at the marriage of Princess Mary of
Edinburgh at Sigmaringen. Ib is not so
much his niece he has in his mind's eye as
his brother Emperor, who but a brief time
since he so effusiveiy embraced—in public.
Just So.

A Utile girl had sent bask her plate for
turkey two or three times, and had been
helped bountifully to all the other good
things that ge to make a grand Thanksgiv-

dish of ice-cream.

The Sultan has been credited with much
intelligence, but hitherto has been unable
to manifest it practically, owing to his
surroundings, which are , of men and in-
fluential women of indolent habits and
superstitious minds. Now he has suddenly
broken' the trammels and given the order
that Turkey shall advance. According to
English ideas the Sultan's notions are wise,
as _ he commences by opening up his
territory to tne east, to the north, and to
the south by means of long railways. the
termini of all being Constantinople. The
concessions have been granted to Germans
and Belgians.
Over Prince Auersperg's estete at
Nepomuk, in Austria, about 2,500 acres,
there were shot in& single day 87 pheasants,
125 hares and more then 4,000 partridge, a
nephew of the Emperor's—Archduke Francis
Ferdinand—participating in the figures with
no less than 1,014 heads.

It is probable that an engagement will

beneficial effects are not only to the farmers
and market gardeners,but also add to the at-

fluence the building Of surburhan homes.
The reeds are made by a combination of

foundation stones are laid, over which a
layer of coarse crushed stone is placed:
Enough earth is Mixed with the stone to
make it compact readily when the heavy
roller is passed over it. A layer of fine
stone is then put on thick enough to round
the 'road well after it is rolled the second
time, which last rolling is intended to make
the road thoroughly compact and com-
plete. Thus far these roads have resisted
the disintegrating action of rains and frost.
They are repaired when necessary by add-
ing a thin layer of gravel or fine stone to
the surface.
At a meeting held in Chicago during the
recent Columbus celebration, a National
Road League was formed. The meetMg
was organized with Gov. Ilevi K. Fuller, of
:Vermont, as chairman, -The fact that Gov.
Fuller has at his own ex ense purchaged a
steam roller costing $6, to illustrate the
method of construction and feasibility of
macadamized roads in his own home town,
Brattleboro, Vt., added additional strength
to his remarks. Prominent men from near

V every state made pertinent remarks con -
corning their respective localities. The
purposes of, the National League are to or-
ganize state and neighborhood leagues, one
in every school district in the land, to cir-
culate road literature and induce legislation
in systematic ways until the great end Of

After three years' trials in feeding for

to the conclusion that equal weights of Ber-
muda and of timothy hay have practically
the same values for the production of milk
or butter. At the prices at which they
can be purchased at Mississippi, Bermuda
hay will produce milk or butter at a much
less coat than will timothhay. The milk
and butter from cows fed' on steamed cot-
tonseed costs less than that from cows fed
on raw cottonseed, and but little more

Feeding Dairy Cows,
If you are going tofeed Corn, feed it in
good silage, taken warm and oweet from
the silo, but be sure it has a good per cent.
of grain in it. I would not feed corn meal
to a cow unless she is one that milks , ,r-
ly. The nitrogenous grains are the st,
and they should be given liberally and judi-
ciously. Do not use the same measure for
every cow, as one will require more, an-
other less, to produce like results. Be
liberal e no money will come if no feed is
given; you cannot reap unless you sow.
The great trouble with the average dairy-
man is, he is constantly trying to dodge
paying out any money for good cows, foods
or implements. He must change from this
stingy narrow plan to a broad, liberal one,
as he hes "got, to hustle" hereafter or get
left. The time has come when thought and
figures will beat shiftlessness, starvation !ra-
tions and scrub cows.

Training Will Tell.
The following incident recorded in the
Hanover Post is worth repeating. Boys
who reoelve a good witty training are never
likely to go estray :—Yesterday morning a
bright little boy of about six years entered
one of the town flour and feed stores and
began to take peas out ref his pocket and
drop them into it bin. He was asked what
he was doing that for. He replied that he
had taken.* hendful out of the bin that
morning and that his mother told him to
so and put them all back again. The pro-
prietor said to him whenever he wanted any
to come and ask him and he dould have all
be wanted, and wished to know if he would
give him some then. "No eir," he replied,
"my ,mother might not like ; me to take
them.? There will be little danger of that
mother's son figuring in future police court
reports.
