PABXER'S CITX WIVIL
Ten years to -day, Jack, I have 'lived
This bleeeed country life,
binge kat I left my olty home
To be s, fermer'e wife.
theught that I slaeuld raiss it 80 --
The tramp of busy feet;
The ceeseless threb of rushing life,
The faces on the street.
thoeght the'eountry would be tames
Its intereets mean and small,
But then I could not say you no,
A.ud so 1 left it all.
I thougheof,all -I loved and left,
A.e f came down the aisle ;
My thoughts went back with a sigh
And fertve,rd with a eraile.
Awl now -the sun sees every day
Earth's misery and bliss,
And now where does he thine upon
A. happier lot than this?
Here are no walls to hem us in
All'e open to the sky; "
Here have I learned to love the stars
le And watch the clouds go by,
I watch the birds and squirrels, too,
And elaim them or my own:
And trees and grass -how could I liva
Where all is brick and atone ?
love them still, theme toil -worn streets,
Where many feet have trod;
The city brings us close to man,
The country near to God.
To thirds I ever should have paused
Uncertain 'twixt the two!
am so thankful that I chose
The country, Jack -and you.
This dear old hum! I wouldn't give
One downy, peeping brood
Of dayeld chicks kr the wealth
Of cities if I could.
I love my homely household tasks,
I love the fields of grain,
I love the flowers that lift their heads
To drink the summer ram.
I love the orchard crowned with fruit.
My garden fair to see,
I love the horses and the cows -
1 know that they love me.
And yet, perhaps, it's something else
That lends my life its charm;
You see I love the farmer Jack,
And so 'love the farm_ -

HEIGHT OF WAVES.
That ocean waves run "mountains
high" no one ever believed unless he
-was very credulous indeed. The
phrase is a highly exaggerated figure
of speech. But the observations of
keepers of lighthouses in exposed sit-
ur6ions ise,ve proved that waves run
high enough, in great storms, to make
very respectable hills. Some time ago
the steamer which carries supplies to
the lighthouse on Tillamook Rock, on
the coast of Oregon, was able to make
a landing and establish communica-
tion with the lighthouse keepers for
the first time in six weeks. It brought
ay:ray the chief light -keeper, who had
a thrilling story to tell.
The waves of the Pacific tore away
the wharves and other constructions
on the rock, even carrying off thnbers
which had been riveted to the rock.
As- yeti- however, the lantern had re-
mained untouched.
But the storm increased; the waves
rose in height, and presently dashed
against the lantern, which is 150 feet
above the level of the sea. Finally the
water washed clear over the top of
the lighthouse, coining in at the ven-
The keepers were compelled to work
desperately all night long to keep the
lamp lighted. They were continually
In fear that the lights of glass looking
:seaward would be broken in by the
force of the waves, and that they
themselves be washed out into the sea,
to certain death, But the iron lattice-
work outside the windows saved the
glass panes from destruction.
The light -keepers were old sailors,
affirmed that no experience on ship-
board could be so horrible as this long
struggle with the storm at the summit
of the lighthouse. They would have
been glad to take refuge even in a frail
ahip.
The Tillamook Light has on previ-
ous occasions been washed completely
over by waves. The same thing has
happened to the Eddystone Light, off
the coast of England, and to the light
-at Fleaux-de-Brechot, off the coast of
France, both of which e re upwards of
150feet in height.
It seems well established, therefore,
that waves may mount to a height of
150 feet above the general level where
there are rocks or other obstructions
to cause them to break. On the open
ocean they would hardly- rise so high
above the general level; but as each
wave is accompanied by a depression
of corresponding depth, the vessel
which is carried from the trough of
the sea to the summit of the wave may
truly be said to climb a great hill of
It water.
A WONDERFUL ALMANAC.
The publishers of the MONTREAL DAILY
and WEEKLY STAR are getting out a mag-
nificent almanac to be known as the STAR
110 Almanac, said to be the finest almanac in
the world, containing nearly four hundred
pages, with colored maps. It is looked for-
ward to with great interest.
A lone highwayman held up a stage
containing a dozen passengers near
Creede, Cal. After rifling all their
pockets he forced them to continue
their journey.
David Nesmith of the Toronto Bicy-
cle Club, rode 100 miles hi 5 hours and
22 minutes 91-5 seconds at theRoseclale

THE FIRST HALF QV 1803 41AS PEEN A
MOST DISA,STROtilii ONE -
Since Jan. 1 there have been four de-
struotive wind storms, killing nearly
200 personst, viz.; April 1, Missouri and
Kansas, 75; May 16, Texas, 15; May 27,
Wellington, an, 53; June10, Southern
Minneeota, Q. In the same period
there have been four great floods, viz.:
April II, Tombigbee River, 250; May
18, Sioux City, Ia., 35; May 2i0, Lower
Mississippi, 37; 'Tune 5, fire and Hood,
Oil Creels, Pa., 196. There also have
been four mining disasters, viz.; Jan. 7,
McAllister, I,L, Ai5;Apj1 20,_MiTICr§.:
ville, Pa., 12; May 10, Roslyn, Wash„
44; May 14, Butte, Mont., 11. Three
tires have been unusually disastrous to
life, viz.: Jan. 21, Indianapolis Surgical
Institute, 19; Feb. 7, Hotel Royal, New
York, 30; April 28, theatre, Phila-
delphia, 12.
Besides these there was on March 21
an explosion at Jordan, Mich., by
which ten lives were lost; June 13, an
explosion at the Mare Island Navy
Yard, which killed thirteen, and June
15. the fall of the bridge over the Lick-
ing River, by which 82 lives were sacri-
ficed. These are the principal disasters
of the year thus far, and they involve
an aggregate loss of 960 lives. Adding
to this total the sum of losses by minor
accidents, as reported, we have the
following sad and unusual record: By
fire, 870; by drowning, 1,364; by explo-
sions, 318; by falling structures of va-
rious kinds, 267; by mine disasters, 308;
by wind storms, 34.0, and by lightning,
120. CetHand total, 3,588. The total
loss of life by these causes during the
whole of last year -and 1891 was one
of the most destructive years on record
-was 5,762. So it is evident that 1892
will surpass its predecessor.
THIRTY DAYS TO LIVE.
SAM MURRAY'S DEATH SENTRNCE COM.
MUTED - WHAT EVERYONE IN GRAVEN.
HURST IS TALKING or.
GRAVENHURST, Sept. 21. - The many
friends of Sara Murray will be delighted to
learn that he is himself again, and that
after undergoing intense suffering, such as
few have experienced. Sam, as everyone
knows, is a railroader, or rather was up to
the time, two years ago, when he aiet with
an -accident-while engaged in coffplirig-eals.
One hand was crushed and he lost several
fingers, this was 013 September, 1890. For
five months and s half the poor fellow was
laid off work, but his old friends did not
desert him, and many were the kind en-
quiries sent from all along the line as to
how he was getting along. At last Sam
thought he was able to work and was put
to break on a passenger train and ran on
the Meaford Mail for about a month. He
was next changed to the Muskoka mixed
and after a short time was transferred to is
way freight betweea Gravenhurst and
North Bay, but he failed steadily, like a
man in consumption lost flesh every day.
From nearly 200 pounds he went down to
140
On June last year he finished one of
his t anal runs and that same evening
when taking a walk with a lady he fell on
the sidewalk, where he lay as if dead.
The young lady gave the alarm and Sam
was carried to a doctor's office. The doc-
tor said he had an itttack of Acute Local
Fatigue and that if he was ever able ta
work again it would only be by taking the
utmest care of himself. But he recovered
to a certain extent and then had another
attack while taking ,a row on the lake.
Then the spells came upon him with greater
frequency, and while they lasted he lost
all consciousness. One doctorlgave him
ihirty days to live, while another told him
he believed he would have sixty days in
which to settle his earthly affairs. This
was anything but pleasant news, and yet
Sam's cheery smile never forsook him.
He belongs to the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, and of course received hie sick
benefit from the G. T. R. At -last four
doctors gave sworn certificates that he
would never resume his duties as a train-
man. The Grand Trunk Railway paid
him off, and the Insurance Branch to
which he belonged gave him half the
amount of his life insurance on account of
total disability.
The Grand Trnak.doctors made several.
examinations and the company gave hina
several passes to Toronto to consult with
specialiets. At last he received a certifi-
cate stating that his blood was diseased
and that he should never attempt to do
any work. Like Job, he was covered with
boils.
Sam's position is a peculiar one. In the
first place, the doctors who ought to know
say, that he is unable to work and never
will be. Their certificates to that effect
are now being considered by the supreme
authorities of the Brotherhood, and unless
Sam declines to accept his insurance they
will have to pay him. But on the other
hand he is looking for work, and says he is
as well as ever he was. His explanation of
his sudden recovery is the talk of the town
as well as of his comrade of the road. For
months he conld not sleep on his back or
sides and had to take what little rest he got
by lying on his stomach.
Onb day some one threw a little book
called Kidney Talk into his door, and hie
wife after reading it persuaded her hus-
band to try a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
He agreeed simply to please her, but with-
out any expectation of getting relief.
Strange to say, the pills did relieve him
and he took several boxes of them, the re -
milt being that to -day he ia as well as ever
he was, Sam says he cannot underetand
it and don't care, however, geeing that the
pills have cured him and he is able once
again to work for his little family.-Graven-

WOULD BENFFIT BOTH.
There can be no possible justification
for the action of the United States and
Canadian Governments in maintaining
tariff barriers intended to restrict the
free interchange of coal between the
two -countries: The -natural source of
supply for the New England States is
in Nova Scotia; Ontario finds her cheap-
est place to buy across the lines to the
south, and San Francisco and the
Western States could not have a great-
er benefit conferred upon them than
would follow taking down the fence
that blocks free access to the coal fields
of British Columbia. Notwithstand-
ing the absurd impediments that have
been placed itt the way by tariff tink-
ers, Nova Scotia last year sent 173,-
000 tons to the Eastern States and
British Columbia 617,000 tons to the
Western States, while Ontario im-
ported nearly two and a half million
tons from the American coal fields.
These figures show what a trade
might be developed in this particular
line but for a policy of restriction.
The abolition of the duty on coal by
the two Governments would cheapen
fuel in both countries and give an en-
ormous impetus to the development of
a greet industry. -Toronto News, Con-
