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.

FEW FACTS
in regard \o the
White
Sewing
Machine.
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre
eminent among tirst-class machines, for
its simplicity and light-running qualities.
It is a mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing parts are adjustable,
so that lost motion can be "token up" in
an instant.
It is an undisputed fact that the dura
bility of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by a written warranty for tlve
years.
It is a progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful v
improvements of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly its
own.
It is a money-making fact that the
Wnite is the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
Wide-awake dealers make it their specialty.
It is a gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapidly increasing 111 public
favor.
CAUTION.
Do not bo imposed upon by agents and parties
who are interested in the purchase and sale of other
machines. It has become a common tiick fbr ua
scrupulous competitors to get a White machine and
put it in had order so that they might prejudice pur
chasers against it and in favor of their own machines.
To guard against such contemptible trickery, we
advise all intending purchasers to correspond with
us direct, and wo will take pleasure in giving them
the address of a regular authorized dealer for tlve
"White" in their county, or we will offer to seH
them a machine direct at special prices, and guaran
tee satisfaction in every respect.
