Along the £euoe,around the meadow,
Where the sweet, black berries grew,
In my childhood days I wandered
Eating berries wet with dew.
And those -happy days were gladdend
By a friendlmost dear to me,
Ever with me, how I loved her
None so lily white as she.
ver with me in my playho9rs,
Wept, and dined, she with me too,
If a crust was hard to master
She would help me it to chew.
We were one, in thought and action
Closely to each other cling;
But I am sory—for in secret
She would always chew my gum.
And as years rolled by I fancied,:
Once or twice, she gave me pain,
But she was a friend so faithful
I forgave her soon again.
Years rolled by, our strong attachment
Ever I thought would last,
But there came a night, ah! help me
To forget that night now past.
She had better thoughts of parting,
• I was frantic, near insane,
Ab! cried the, my nerve is shattered,
I must go; I'll give you pain.
Ab! cried I, your hollow•hearted
After all those years of trust
You have pained me far too deeply,
So now go, if you must.
Then she went, but oh ! that parting
Gave excruciating pain.
Yet I'm glad, and oh! so happy,
For that tooth won't ache again.

REJOICE EV ERAIORE.
(oaTGISALy
Joy is a faith that will not shrink--
In
hrinkIn nature's barren soil,
All we can boast till Christ we know
Is vanity and toil.
A bleeding Savior seen by faith,
A sense of pardoning love--'
A hope.that triumph over death
Gives joy's like those above.
To take a gliinpse within the veil;
'L'o know that God is mine,
Are springs.cf joy that never fail,
Unspeakable, divine.
These are the joys that satisfy
And sanctify the mind,
Which make the spirit mount; on.
• high Ansila,
And leave the world behind.
IIE LEADETHWE.
„i(Bv N. B)
Ile leadest me—it may not be
That always to my mind
His way is best,
Perhaps, instead of pastures green,
He leadeth through some barren waste,
•Some lone and dry, and dreary place
Where there is no ref reshing stream
And yet because
He leads the way,
I simply trust him
And obey
It may not be that always He
Sees.best in sunny ways
To lead His child.
He.knows if sunshine,or if shower,
Or mist, or cloud, or storm is best,
To help my faith to firmer grasp
On His eternal love and power.
' And just because
..He holds my hand,
I would but follow
His command.
Ile leads"Basile the waters still."
No, not always is it so
in his blest will;
• Just likely that my way may be
Along the surging, hissing foam
Of waters troubled by some storm;
That Ile permits to come this way;
P,ut while Ile leads
I'll fear no harm
Upheld by His
Almighty arm.
He leadeth;me, for His name's sake,
In paths•of perfect righteousness,
And ways of peace,
In Wisdom he doth lead me on.
That wrought on earth of ways or means
Should,claim my affection or esteem,
That I might all his mature know,
And as He leads
In love alone, •
',would but say
"Thy will e done.'

NEWS NOTES.
Dr. Bogart, ex -mayor -of Whit-
by, was badly injured through his
horse running away on Monday.
Mrs Mars, aged 75 years, re-
siding at Jerseyville, Aneaster
township,cwas burned to death
Iast Thursday evening.
Tho drought which has prevail-
ed in many parts of Canada and
the Western States this summer,
to the serious injury of the crops,
renders an experiment about to
bo tried by Sir John Lister Kayo
in the Northwest specially inter-
esting to the agricultural com-
munity. As our readers are no
doubt aware, Sir John UWns ten
farms in the vicinity of Regina. --
When in Winnipeg he noticed the
big sprinkling cartes, and conceiv-
ed the idea of putting a large'
number in service on his farms
for the purpose of supplying the
want of rain. Accordingly he
ordered 44 tanks. .'"This is four for .
each farm. lie ordered only the
tanks and sprinklers, intending
to place thetn on wagons which
belong to tho farm. They are
made of pine boards, with oak
cross -pieces and aro water -tight,
aro 11 feet 4 inches by 8 feet 7
inches, and aro 2 feet high, hold-
ing about 12 barrels of water each.
The water sprinkler may soon be
regarded as an iniisspensible re-
quisite to each farm. In the mat-
ter of aiding she pasturage and
root and other crops, by supply-
ing moisture (luring occasional
dry spells, they would certainly
do gond work.

POINTERS ON AGRICUL-
TURE WORTH
KNOWING.
THE HORSE FOR GENERAL
FA.RJI PURPOSES.
Perfection has never yet been
reached ; until it is, the perfect
farm horse is but an animal pic-
tured by the imaginaticn. The
thoroughbred or trotting horse,
bred for speed alone, and the
massive draught horse, bred only
for great strength and endurance,
approach perfection ; but the gen-
eral farm horse,with the many de-
mands made upon him, and bred
by countless number of farmers,
has not as yet become a fixed typo.
Ho must have the, size and
strength to draw 1.11e plow with
ease; he must have the style and
action necessary to make a trip to
markt and least rd back in the poi-
Bible time, ho must be of a decile
disposition, though not to the de-
traction of norve,a most necessary
qualification of a good farm horse ;
and lastly,be must bo such a horse
as can successfully meet competi-
tion in the sale ring. Wo find
very few built that way,but it can
be done if gone about with a will
and bred year after year with
these objects in view. Do not
allow fancy, friendship, poverty,
or anything else to cause you to
turn to the right or to the left.
A large majority of farmers will
breed their mares one year to a
heavy draft stallion. By the time
tho fillies so produced aro old
enough to breed, these mon have:
chanced to see a high-stepping,
showy roadster stallion; they aro
captivated, and the grade draft
fillies are bred to him. About
this time their friend will probab-
ly buy a stallion, and they breed
this produce to him regardless of
his make-up, be he large or small,
good, bad or indifferent. The next
move they make will be to breed
to some dilapidated, unsound stal-
lion, simply because the fee is low
and they chance to he ' hard up.'
Now an inspiration seizes them
and they breed to a jack, and a
mule is the result of these years
of struggle with the problems of
horse -breeding. however, at this
stage Nature heads them off and
said mule is the last of the race.
Anyone can see that such a, course
can be productive of but ono re-
sult—failure; and you had better
spend a short time in self -com-
munion and see how nearly the
shoo•fits, You may • say that a
mule Is not a failure. I agree
with you if ho is a good ono, but
a mule so produced will not be a
good.one, and is a failure, and his
days will be spent in studying
out the intricacies of -his ancestry.
Then how shall we produce the
horse best adapted.' to general
farm use? Select your best mares;
sell two poor ones and buy one
that is good, taking soundnces
above ail things into considera-
tion. Breed these mares to a• pure-
bred draft stallion, be he Percher -
on, Clydesdale, Belgian, .or Shire.
While every one undoubtedly has
his personal preferences, it is a
recognized fact that any of the
breeds named will greatly im-
prove the common home,
In snaking choice of a stallion
to became the foundation of your
ideal farm horse, look well to his
feet and legs; ste that. is girth is
large and his ribs well sprung;
that his coupling is good and his
action sublime. Further than this,
study hisdisposition, and all
things else being equal, reject'an,
undesirable color. In breeding to
such a horse, though he weigh a
ton, it is not necessary that your-
mare
ourmare should bo large. My experi-
ence is that a halfblood Perchcron
colt is no larger when foaled than a
colt from a horse weighing but 1,-
300 to 1,500 pounds.Butdon't they
grow when neo they have seen
daylight! Push the' colts ; push
tae yearlings. Oats fod in abund-
ance both to marc and colt will
pay you a larger per cent, than
Government bonds. When the
foal is weaned, do not turn it out
to rustle for itself ; do not lot it
winter on the straw stack and
shelter behind the fence ; keep up
the oats rations through the first
winter, with plenty of bright hay:
give it a warm place to sleep, and
your yiar•ling will bo almoet as
largo as its dam. With good pas•
ture and pure water during, the
summer and autumn, and a re-
petition of last winter's treatment
your grade draft colt as a twq-
year-old is no longer a.colt, but a
fully -developed horse. If a filly
she may be..bred as a two-year-old
And here lot me ask. How many
have ever considered the profits
derived from pushing the filly
ahs ? ._.,A.g_.commsn•I•y
treated they aro not sufficiently
developed to breed until at least
throe years old, consequently ono
colt worth $50 the day it is foaled
is lost. Again I say, oats, fod to
colts are a better invostmerlt'than
Government bands. Breed your
grade draft fillies to the same tpye
of stallion as their sire, and in a
short time son will have a number
of brood mares uniform in size,
contour, disposition and colour, of
which any man may be proud;
mares which will, as nearly as is
possible, fill the requirements of a
general farm horse ; mares that
CI' fdrert Ocv fot
i •
will do their share of work in the
field and raise a colt each year
worth i75 when six months old;
mares any two of which will take
with ease the same load on the
road that would be a, burden to
three common horses mares
which, if properly cared for, will
pay the mortgage now on the
farm. Crops may bo poor, times
may be poor. times may be hard,
but allow nothing to induce you
to part with grade filly foals, The
horse colt may be put at work of
a light nature when u, long two-
year-old, and if not needed on the
farm can bo put on the market at
throe or four years old, the latter
being preferrable .See him in the
sale ring! Good size, perfect de-
velopment, splendid action, lofty
carriage. The professional buyer
knows a good horse at sight, and
takes yours at the top of tho mar-
ket without further delay.
Hard cash is the most conclu-
sive evidence of success, If your
horse is capable of doing all'kinds
of farm work as well as, if not
bettor than, another horse differ-
ently bred, and will bring .enc
deltas more on the market, then
you have struck the key -note of
success. You have the general
farm horse.—W. E. Robinson in
the Gazette.

A SCARED EDITOR.
A rugged farmer stalked into the sane•
tum with a big whip under ern'.
'Be you the editor?' he asked. 'I am,'

miles from here, in the township
of Garafraxa, about 11 o'clock.
There was a barn raising during
the afternoon at Elam Ellis',
and at night the people were en-
joying themselves in different
ways, some in dancing and other
amusements. Miss Ellis was at-
ed_by--Li-.young ..man. -non ed --

her six or seven wounds with a

from the crowd in tho d arknees
and has not yet been captured, al-
though the cpuntry round about
is being scoured and telegrams
have been sent in every di;oction.
The excitement in the neighbor-
hood is very great, and if 'round
in tbo locality where it is thought
ho is, there is groat danger of his
