The Farmer Feedeth All. My lord rides through his palace gate, My lady sweeps along in state, The sage thinks long on many a thing, And the maiden muses on marrying; The minstrel harpeth merrily, The sailor plows the foaming sea, The huntsman kills the good red deer. And the soldier wars without a fear; But fall to each whate'er befall, The farmer he must feed them all. Smith hammereth cheerily the sword, Priest prcachetli pure and holy word, Dame Alice worketh broidery well, Clerk Richard tales of love can tell; The tap-wife selis her foaming beer, Dan Fisher fishes In the mere, And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine, While pages bring the Gascon wine; But fall to each whate'er befall, The farmer he must feed them all. Man builds his castles fair and high, Whatever river runneth by, Great cities rise in svrey land, Great churches show the builder's hand; 3[Gr#at arches, monuments and towers, Fair palaces and pleasing bowers, Great work is dond, be't here and there, And well man worketh everywhere; But work or rest, whate'er befall, The farmer he naust foed them all- WONDERFUL Tit RES. The 11 r tree growths of Puget Sound form one of the wondi rs of the American world. They average 200 feet in height, and some specimens have been cut that meas ured 320 feet in length and twelve feet in diameter at the base, with a straight and well proportioned log to the length of 90 feet to the first limb. The cedar trees are in like proportion, and are most val uable for wooden wares of all kinds, while the firs are best for spar and ship timber of any yet found in any country. There are few nations that do not use them in shipbuilding. One-fourth the wealth of San Francisco was culled from the firs of Puget Sound while the gov ernment slept, and to-day all the princi pal mill owners who saw and prepard for market from 100 to 200,000 feet a day to each mill—and there are thirty or more mills— are residents of San Francisco, where they invest their profits, to the great injury of the residents of the Sound. There is, apparently, no exhaustion of the timber, and a century will elapse be- Puget Sound forests will be cleared of their immense resources of varied tree growth. " Fear not thou faithful Christian; fear not, at the appointed time, to descend into the tomb. Thy soul thou nrayest trust with thy omnipotent Redeemer, who is Lord of the unseen world, 'who has the keys of hell and death.' Most safely mayest thou trust thy better part in those beniflceut hands which w°re pierced with nails and fastened to the ig nominious tree for thy salvation. With regard to thy earthly tabernacle, be not dismayed. It is* taken down only to be rebuilt on a diviner plan and in a more heavenly form. It it retires into the shadow of death and lies immured in the gloom of the grave, it is only to return from a short confinement to endless liber ty. If it falls into dissolution, it is to rise more illustrious from its ruins, and wear an infinitely brighter face of perfec tion and glory."— Rev. James Ilerveg. A barren world does not suddenly be come a garden of beauty. Slowly and patiently, season after season, its fur rows must be turned and the seed sown again and again. Great marshes are to be drained, wide forests felled, rocks rent asunder and borne away, desert places enriched, the whole work done by an invisible Spirit working through hum an hands. Centuries pass before a great continent yields its riches to the hand of the cultivator, before its barrenness be comes wholly fruitful; shall we look for a quicker harvest of divine graces and virtues out of the hard heart of the world ? Christian Union. HOPE.—What makes it possible for any of us to bear the sight of suffering in those dear to us ? What could it be but hope? Hope of healing aud purification through suffering; hope of rescue at any cost for the lost; hope learned from Ilim who not only loved the world enough, through all its sinning, to give Himself for it, but hoped for it enough to deem the joy set before Him of saving it from its sin well worth the cross? They through hope able to be patient; are through patience learning to hope. BUSINESS LOCALS. Town Lots For Sale on reasonable terms. Apply to JOHN W. MIX, Towanda, Pa.
