Even among the farm- ing elapses do we find men of this stamp; and my own observation has taught me to believe that in no less a proportion than among the manufaotgring, mercantile and profeasioual classes. But the average man, be it is that ie the subject of so muoh die. cession, Well then, is the average farmer in a worse situation to -day than- the ave - raga manufacturer, the average merohant, or the average professional man ? Not muoh, I venture to say, if any. They, no doubt, have '"aa,ease" in a physical sense that the farmer has not, whioh, again, is counterbalanced by the constant strain upon the mental as well as the physical, known only to those engaged in shop and office. Now, sir, I would like to ask is the con- dition of the average •Canadian farmer, taken in an all round view, so muoh worse, after all, tan it has been at certain times during the last 25 or 30 years? If you•say yes, then I say I don't believe it. I am anything yet but an old man, but as I look back and compare the farmer of to -day with the farmer of my baby days, I really regard it as an insult to our creed to say our situation is getting worse. Our Gode- rioh Township Farmer gave us a good defi- nition of those old days, when he referred to the unpretentious homes, furniture, dress, etc. But, I ask, where is the avoca- tion in life that has made such rapid strides toward comfort, and a more civilized, Christianized way of living, than has been made with the farming classes of this coun- try ? Ithink I am quite below the line of exaggeration, when 1 say that the average Canadian farmer has to -day $5 in direct farm improvement,where he had $1 twenty years ago, and the same comparison may be reasonably made in relation to the ma- chinery and implements of the average man. And then, what about his home comforts? they are vastly to the front of what they were some twenty years ago. And jest right in connection with this very feature of our history rests a part of the „e responsibility for this critical financial ceiling.

Our school house ehoald be as Olean as our homes, well ventilated, and all out -build - Mgt; cleaned, so that there would be nothing for cholera or any other' pestilence to lodge in. And then again, as a beautifier of a place, I, think a woman is better than a man, (there are exceptions to all rules). I have sometimes thought that a man took pride in saying he had no time for ouch things, as if they were too small for him. Per- haps the gates are off the hinges, the fence down, and the cattle are browsing the trees, and a look of dilapidation all about the place, while he spends as muoh time going to town, or in the shop, or sitting on the fence talking to his neighbor, as would do a lot in that line How often we hear the women say, "I have been coaxing my man to plant some treed, or to make a garden fence; there is no use in me trying to have anything nice, for the cattle or pigs are sure to break in and destroy it all." And we also find that the world is wak- ing up to the foot that women can do some things as well as men. They are homing to the front in education as well as other matters. In the States, the majority of teaohers are women. Inspector Tom tells us that they are on the inorease bere,whioh, to my mind shows their fitness for the work. Then, take the homes of the people, yon will find es mach education and intel- ligence among the women as the men; in some cases you will find the women appre- ciate the school more than the men do, as shown by the efforts they will make to keep the children going. On the farm there are so many things a boy can do as well as a men, that the father ie very apt to keep him at it, to the neglect of his eohooling, and were it not for his mother fighting for him, the poor boy would get very little of it. Now, Mr Editor, these are some of the reasons why I think a woman should be on a school board; as there have to be three, one ought to be a woman; she could see some things which the men could not see, for she understands children better. Indeed, the time is not far distant when women will have a say in a good many matters which she has not now, and I think the world will be all the better for it. MYnTLII Geniis.

But at the same time I would like to ask him this question: Does he really and candidly suppose that were this entire country politically Grit, that the wealth thereof would be so much more evenly distributed among the.citizens of the same. If he does. the sooner he gets free of that delusion the better for him. .I can scarcely think a man of his intelligence could mean just that, and yet he says be. cause of my illegal -bestowment belief, I am unfit for the Grit ranks. Now, sir, had he spoken in his former letter like in his last, I think I could have agreed with him a little better. He says now that one of the strongest factors which at the present is tending to make the poor poorer, and the rich richer, is this protect- ive tariff. Well, I agree with him there. Wily did he not say that before, instead of saying the whole trouble lay there. Again, he as muoh as says I prove nothing when I say there are few countries where so little of poverty is known as in Canada. I say I do; if the condition of the farmer horn ie es good or better than it is in a country fa- vored with so much better legislation, as we would be forced to believe, there is an ill -fit in the argument somewhere, and I would like to see the man who could recon- cile me to the faith, for my contention is that the great burden of depression that is resting upon Canada to -day, if it can be palled a great burden,. is a universal one, and as soon as the pastern horizon begins h to brighten with the rising g sun , Canada will not be the last to catch a sunbeam; and whether the government be Grit or wae aoknowtad ed. to be one of the I Tory, Canada will be able to hold her own g I am getting lengthy, Mr Editor, but finest ever made in Clinton.

Hate and bonnets in bewildering profusion of pattern and color greeted the eye everywhere. Patterns were never prettier than this year, and this popular firm keep cone etantly supplied with the latest pro- ductions of the Paris and New Yolk deeignere. Their accomplished millin- ers display charming taste and skill in trimming. The rich, chaste beauty of the many specimens of the millinery art to be seen on all hands clearly demonstrated their very superior taste and workmanship. The splendid ex- hibit was worthy the admiration of the erowde of ladies who thronged the More on Saturday evening, and the many compliments bestowed were richly merited.
