There is a desiro on tho jwtrt of many boys raised on tho farm to seek employment in the city. There seems to be n 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 docs not see the temptations and evil influ ences that surround him, nor think of the effect of impure 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 degrada 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 tho stern realities of life 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 he 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 recognized principles of right and wrong hangs tho suc cess or failure of overy enter prise. The country boy is in a position to acquire practical knowledge at small expense, which will bo more useful to him than any amount of ornamental learning. As far as superiority is concerned, it may bo in evi dence in a farmer as well as any one. It is brought about, uot 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 be coun trybred, be proud of tho fact and improveyour opportunities, which will bring you to the height of am bition. E. D. Iloughland, in Prarie Farmer. If you have ever seen a child in the agony of croup you can realize how grateful mothers are for One Minute Cough Cure which gives relief as soon as it is ad ministered.

Jonas Teaehout. whoso barn faces the highway a mile outside of thi.s town, uliowed the circus wagon to paste- up pictures on three sides of the bulldlu. How many tickets for the circus ho KOt iu exchange I do not know, and It has niltliiu to do with the question. Yt'hat I'm sayln is that them pictures, iu my solemn belief, shocked tho mor ula of tliU community fur worse thuu us If ten saloons had been opened iu tho towu. Tho circus wugou is UK'iu approm-hln. It Is creepln along in Its sly, lu.siduous way, leaviu tho blight of destruction iu Its path, and If nun thin uiu't done Jouaa Teachout's baru Will ng'iu bo enwrapped in tho nllurin colors of vlco und ilesrudatiou. I move that it la the souse of tills nieetln, and of tho community iu Kluurul, that Jo nas bo struKKled with." "It appears to me," nays Deacon Spooner as Moses sat down, "that a p'int has bin made. When Moses talks of allurln colors of Tleo and degrada tion, I seem to see before mo them pic tures of wlmeu jumpln through paper hoops. However, I'd like to hear from Silas Lapham. I reckon he's interest ed In tho moral welfare of this com munity." "I ain't blamin Jonas 'tall," says Si las. "He Rot 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 guzo at circus pictures with out koIu away and stealin a bur"l of soft soap, then he ain't no man. Did any wife run away from her husband because of them pictures? Did uny ihuhband elope with the hired kuI bo cause of them?" "That's a p'int, and I nays it's a p'int:" exclaims the deacon as he hus tles about. "Them circus pictures was on that baru fur two mouths, but what fam'ly was busted up through their In fluence r 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 talktn 'bout tho gluoral Influence on gineral morality. A circus picture Is nuthiu but a picture, but It suggests lemonade and peanuts and whisky and poker and beln out late nights. They are like plzen Ivy. You come across it Iu tho woods, and It Is fair to look up on, and It seems to be rooted lu Inno cence and thrivin In uiorullty. You handle It, and you begin to Itch and scratch and find yourself plzened. LIko a hydai headed surplnt. It lays lu wait to work destruction to thu unwary. I hope this meetln and this community air with me and thut It will be decided to wnissle with Jonas Teaehout," "Moses didn't seem to make a p'int on tho peanuts aud lemonade," snyg thu deacon us he scratches his ear, "but he was lowerful strong on that plzen Ivy beln rooted in innocence. 1 kin almost seo whur circus pictures ,mlght Inlluenco mo to go homo aud pound my old cow with a sled stake If she didn't keep her tall still whllo I was mliklu, but I'm wlllln to hour more nrgymeiit;. Inos Williams, you driv' by that Lam twice a day all summer. How did them pictures affect youY" "Not much different from a huskln ,tiei," says Euos. "I didn't feel no jfeclin's of wickedness stealln o'er me, but I did sort of make a fool gf myself. I found a soft bpol In the barnyard and tried to turn a handspring, and fur ubout two hours they thought my neck wns busted. I'm thlnkin that hard elder has more glnerul Influence on glueral plurality lu this community than cir cus pictures." "It's a p'int!" shouts the deacon as ho waves his cane on high; "it's a p'int nobody kin git over! It's hard cider that's bar kiu vice all over .this county and li'lstln Innocence over the fence whenever they meet. However, It may be that circus pictures ulso bavo their Influence. Moses, have you got any more argyiueutsV" "Of what use?" says Moses as ho heaves a sigh and turns away. "Wasn't Sudum warned? Did Sudani hoed It? When vice stalks rampant through ev ery household lu Jericho aud Innocence Is drlv' to tho fields to sit under a bluckborry bush and weep, then re member what 1 have said hero tonight. I ain't deny in thut hard cider is blunt In our morality, but when you add clr cub pictures to hard elder what do you do?" "Yes, Sodam was warned, and Bod am full,!' says the deacon as be shakes Ma lead, "bui I'd like to hear from Ilsh hnifncs on tMs matter." "It's purty late," snys I.tsh. "ITow purty late?" "Why, Jonas has rented Ids barn nct'tn mid got IM deadhead tickets, and here's one he give me. How's that fur n p'int?" The meetln stood appalled fur a mln It, and then. Deacon Spooner looks nrotind and nays: "Jonas has got 20 tickets left, and that means he has 10 more to glvo away outside his fam'ly. Fellow coun trymen, do you take It that this meetln has pledged herself?" "No, no, no!" shouted the crowd. "Is It the opinion of this meetln that Jonas Teaehout ought to bo wrassled With?" "No, no, nor "Then I'm appoalln directly to Moses Harper. Moses, will you withdraw them remarks about the blight of de struction, the nllurin colors of vice and Innocence wcepln under a black berry bush?" "I might," says Moses after a little reflection, "but I want to be let down easy." "It shall bo done. I'm offerln tho fol lowln resolution to be voted on: 'Ite Holved, That circus pictures on a barn mny or may not affect the moral standard of n community, but we nre wlllln io chance It this year.' All In favor or ag'ln will manifest It In tho usual way." The resolution was carried with a whoop, and the crowd piled over Itself to get outdoors and look around for Jonas Teaehout and beg fur deadhead tickets, and Moses Harper wasn't one of tho last. M.

The gill was overwhelmed with offers, but final ly made a selection aud settled lu a family that valued her services very highly. The girl wus happy until one day her employer met a neighbor, a very dear friend, aud told her of her good fortune lu finding the country girl. And this neighbor met another very dear friend and told her of her other friend's good luck, and thus did It become generally known that there was a good "hired girl" lu the neigh borhood. And from that time on the mistress and the girl were unhappy until one day tho very dear friend gave tho girl $1.50 more a week than she was earu lii in her first place, and In this man ner did tho girl become happy again, while her mistress and the very dear friend ceased to be on speaking terms. And then the girl became unhappy uguln until the other very dear friend engaged her at an advance of $1, and the other dear friend and tho first dear friend ceased to talk over the back fence. And then the good girl wore line dresses and flue hats, and one day a dashing young man led her to the altar, and now the three friends and tho poor country girl are all very happy. Moral.
