There seems to bo a sort of fasci nation in city life, because of the greater advantages in the way of amusements and education. The farmer boy's idea of city life is that it is one of extreme enjoy ment and perfect contentment, and by comparison ho thinks his own a life of drudgery. When ho looks at and envies tho well dressed city boy, ho does not see tho temptations and evil influ ences that surround him, nor think of the effect of impuro air and sedentary habits upon the body. He is governed only by appearances. The country boy is as free as air. He comes un der the most wholesome influ ences and is not subjected daily to those awful temptations which lead to corruption and degreda tion, those evil influences which work their way so quietly and yet so surely into one's life. He is in a position to develop a sound body and a sound mind, and the condi tions under which he is brought up gives him stability and deter mination. He is accustomed to hard work, is permitted to share some of the care and responsibil ity connected with earning a live lihood, and when thrown on his own resources is able to meet the stern realities of lifo face to face, without timidity and without fear of shouldering any burden which may be placed upon him. lie may not have the polish that men tal training gives, but ho is fami liar with the practicial affairs of life. One may become familiar with the sciences, may have a technical knowledge of the clas sics, and yet have to rely on his talents for a livelihood. Tho one who becomes acquainted with the fundamental principles of the ruling forces of the world is build ing on a substantial foundation. Upon the recoguized principles of right and wrong hangs tho suc cess or failure of every enter prise. The country boy is in a position to acquire practical knowledge at small expense, which will bo moro useful to him than any amount of ornamental learning. As far as superiority is concerned, it may be in evi dence in a farmer as well as any one. It is brought about, not by the occupation, but by tho organ ization of the faculties, the abso lute adherence to tho universally recognized principles of right. If it falls to your lot to bo eoun trybred, be proud of tho fact and improveyouropportuuitios.which will bring you to the height of am bition. E. D. Iloughland, in Prarie Farmer.

Jonas Teacliout, whose, barn faces the hlghwny a mile outside of this town, uilowed tin! circus wagon to paste up pictures on three sides of the bulldiu. How many tickets for the circus ho gut in cM liangi; I do not know, and It has uutiiiu to do with the tiuestlon. 'A hat lin sjiyln is that thorn pictures, in my solemn belief, shocked tho mor ula of thlji coiiiininiity fur worse than us if ten saloons hiul been opened iu tho town. The circus wagon is ug"iu uppiouchin. It Is creeplu along iu Its sly, liifiiduous way, lenvlu the blight of destruction in Its path, and If sun thin aiu't done Jonas Teachout's barn Will tigia be enwrapped in the ulluriu colors of vleo und .degradation. I move thnt it i:i the seuse of this meetlu, and of the community in glueral, that Jo nas be struggled with." "It nppears to me," says Deacon Spooner as Moses sat down, "that a p'lnt has bin made. When Moses tnlks of allurin colors of tlco nnd degrada tion, I seem to see before me them pic tures of wlmen Junipln through paper hoops. However, I'd like to hear from Silas Laphnm. I reckon he's Interest ed In the moral welfare of this com munity." "I ain't bhimin Jonas 'tnll," suys Si las. "He got 12 deadhead tickets fur the use of his barn, and I don't believe anybody was the wickeder fur it. If a man can't gazu at circus pictures with out goln away und stealin a burl of soft soap, then he ain't no man. Did any wife run awny from her husband because of them pictures? Did uny husband elope with the hired gal be cause of them J" "That's a p'lnt, nnd I fays It's a p'lnt!" exclaims the deacon as he hus tles about. "Them circus pictures was ou that barn fur two mouths, but what fain'ly was busted up through their In flueuce? It's fur Moses to specify whar vice got its toehold." "I ain't sayln that any fannies was busted up," continues Moses, "but I'm talklu 'bout tho glueral Influence on glueral morality. A circus picture is nuthiu but a picture, but It suggests lemonade and peanuts and whisky and poker and boln out late nights. They are like plzen ivy. You come across It iu the woods, and It Is fair to look up on, uud It seems to bo rooted in inno cence and tlirlvlu iu morality. You handle It, and you begin to Itch and scratch and Und yourself plzened. Like a hydra headed sarplnt, It lays in wait to work destruction to tho unwary. I hope this meetiu und this community air with me and thut it will be decided to wriutsle with Jonas Teaehout." "Moses didn't seem to make a p'lnt on the peanuts and lemonndo," says the deacon us he scratches his ear, "but he was powerful strong ou thut plzi n Ivy belli rootetl In Innocence. I kin almost seo whar circus pictures might iiuluence mo to go homo and pound my old cow with a sled stake If she didn't keep her tail still while I was niilklu, but I'm wlllln to hour more argymciiis. i;nos Williams, you drlv' by that bam twice n day all summer. How did them pictures affect you 7" "Not much different from a buskin bee," says Euos. "I didn't feel no foolin's of wickedness steullu o'er me, but I did sort of make a fool gf myself. I found a soft spot lu the barnyard uud tried to turn a handspring, and fur ubout two hours they thought my neck was busted. I'm thlnkin that hard cider has more glneral inlluence on gineral morality In tills community than clr icu.t pictures." "It's a p'lnt!" shouts the deacon as ho waves his cane on high; "It's a p'lnt nobody kin git over! It's hard cider that's backln vice all over .tills county uud h'lstin Innocence over the fence whenever they meet. However, It may he t hat circus pictures also havo their Influence. Moses, have you got uny more urgy incuts?" "Of what use?" suys Moses as ho heaves u sigh und turns uwuy. "Wasn't Sodum warned? Did Hodum heed it? When vice stalks rumpuut through ev ery household lu Jericho uud lnnoceneo Is drlv' to the Holds to sit under a blackberry bush aud weep, then re member what i havo said hero tonight I ulu't dcuylu thut hard cider Is blunt In our morality, but when you add elr cus pictures to hard cider what do you do?" "Yea, Sodaiu was warned, and Sod am full," tjuyH the deacon us he shakes Ua bead, "bui I'd Uko to hear from Lish l5l!irnr" on t'lls matter." "It's party lute." snys I.lsdi. "How purty Into?" "Why, Jonas has rented his barn mr'ln nnd got -!1 deadhead tickets, nnd hero's one he give me. How's that fur a p'lnt?" The mcetln stood appalled fur n tnln It, nnd then Deacon Spooner looks around nnd snys: "Jonas hns got 20 tickets left, and thnt means he has 10 more to give nway outside his fam'ly. Follow coun trymen, do you tnke It that this mcetln hns pledged herself?" "No, no, no!" shouted the crowd. "Is It the opinion of thin mcetln that Jonas Teaehout ought to be wrassled with?" "No, no, nor "Then I'm appealln directly to Moses Harper. Moses, will you withdraw them remarks about the blight of de struction, tho allurin colors of vice mid Innocence weepln under a black berry bush?" "I might," snys Moses after a little, reflection, "but I want to be let down easy." "It shall be done. I'm offerln the fob lowln resolution to be voted on: 'Ue Bolved, That circus pictures on a burn liiny or may not affect the moral Btundnid of n community, but we nre wlllin io chnnce It this year.' All In favor or ng'ln will munlfest It In the usual way." The resolution was carried with a whoop, and the crowd piled over Itself to get outdoors and look n round for Jonas Teaehout and beg fur deadhead tickets, nnd Moses Harper wasn't one of the last. M.
