The world suddenly grew very dark
to .Janet North way, ivhun a cloud of
duM hid from licr .sight .1 tall, slim
limine. Shu wondered wearily if clouds
lind come over the sun and a storm was
approaching, for where had tho sun
light of an hour ago gone? What had
h:iijii'iied to all the familiar scene that
in:ule it look linlcim ami strange to
her? She had known these woods,
the stream winding through them, ev
ery licrry bu.-di on the hill from her
childhood. The old farm-house was
almost hidden from the road by an
-uchanlto jjght and left, anil a long
row of maples in front as she had
Mood oii tho broad, Hat .stone by the
gate many times before, she had looked
through the trees to it and, remember
ing that it had always been her home,
thought it a plea-ant place --now, as
.she caught a glimpse of its gray, weath
er-beaten front, it was uistaslctul and
almost unfamiliar to her.
.Slice their childhood Janet North
wa and ,lamu Forest had been friends
and comrades. When children they
had played together in the orchard that
M'paratcd the two farms, and he had
carved their names in a couplet upon
the bark of many an old tree, and,
like Virgil's idyllic lovers, as the trees
grew llieir loves grew. At last both
families began to Took forward to the
time when the two farms would bo unit
ed by their son and their daughter.
The time of which we write was dur-
jd ing the hottest cveitementof those days
uIimIi Pre! llarte has celebrated in his
Tale- if the Argonauts. That mad cru
wide of Fori tmo w:is recruited from the
it.llie shop and the farm. There
wa.s no 1 emote corner of the country
that did not furnish a representative;
and the true stories stranger than fic
tion, of the vast resources of Eldorado
r bad not been without effect on the en
ter rising spirit of James Forest. It
was not the pro-poet of wealth alone,
but a native love of adventure that
moved him; and, almost before ho was
aware, he had joined the expedition.
His heart wa.- light now; he would see
the wot Id, and, when he eamc back in
two years, his fortune would bo made,
and Janet and he would be rich. Even
her white, frightened face as he told
her of his project could not entirely
dampen his spirits and lie fondly tried
to laugh her tears away. But her smile
1 was a sad one, and. with a woman's te
nacious love, mingled with foreboding,
fche thought, when he spoke so confi
dently ot what the consummation of his
two years"" absence would be: "What if
you should never come back, or or.
we should both be old, and ou would
not can'?" Hut at the last moment
011I3 a smiling face and eyes not tear
ful met his, and so he thought he should
always remember her.
Half a year later a home-sick gold
scckcr returning to the East brought
Janet's first letter front her lover.
After another six mouths a second came,
and these were all sho everTcceivcd,
and in tho second year of his absence a
daily paper that strayed to the country
brought her the next tidings from him
"- his name was at the end of a long
list of killed or missing in a mino dis
aster. Now only the ono hope re
mained for her that he might be miss
ing, not dead, and never a summer day
passed but she looked up the road, won
dering if he might not, even then, be
coming never a winter's day but tho
omul of bells brought her to the win
dow with a heart beating fast she al-
-C ways turned sadly away, "waiting for
the gttcat who never came."
W lien another year had passed, and
he was to have been with her now, her
father and mother were both dead, and
Janet was alone. The old farm was sold
and jhc left it with an almost supersti
tious feeling that in, leaving she aban-
. dmicd her hist hope .of his return. It
Vcemed to her that if sho ever saw him
naiu he must cuter by that gardon
gate.
She went to an aunt in a distant city,
and three years later the small world at
IJrighton was exercised for a short time
pver the news of her marriage. In the
ininds of the younger people she fell
freyi that heroic pedestal whereon im
agination had placed her as the faithful
and unwearying devotee to the memory
of a lost love; but tho older people,
drawing upon the wisdom of more ma
ture atul worldly experience, agreed
that "it was the best thing Janet could

j; It was at the close ot a summer day
in 1865 that "a strauger walked rapidly
down lha country road of Brighton a
stranger to a place not strange- to Jiim,
only as change -made it -so. Sm eyes
pLpcfed eagerly from one side, of the
t'Pid to the other; he stepped to pluck
a stalk of the wild snapdragon that grew
by the road side; he turned from his
path to mount an old bowlder.
L This is hero jet," he said, " and it
will bo a hundred years from now
why," ho added, starting as ho looked
across the Held; "where is the old pop
lftr? It is gone," and it was like the
falling of a cathedral towerit had been
more than that to him in earlier days.
Ho paused before one farmhouse half
hesitatingly, and then rapped at the
door; the person that opened it, a rotm"
woman, was a stranger to him, and the
question ho asked was answered in a
toneiHllofwondor. "No." sho said,
"DaTitLFonat don't lire here; he died
stJcyearsAge bat, if you are any of his
relatioar'fou owt tell me what you
want, fofl'mliis aiecc. andjhe old lady
lives with ns,4Ht it isn't bo use to tell
hcrfor she's forgotten everything"
My molliorrr be whispered, huski
ly, and pushed past tho woman into the
room until he stood by tho side of an
old gentle-faced lad', who looked upon
him with, mild astonishment, and roso
from her chair offering it to him.
"Mother," ;he whispered, kncoling
beside her, and strong man as he was.
tears were in his eyes as he saw no
sign of recognition upon the face that
had seemed so beautiful to him years
before.
"Have you forgotten your boy?" he
said, not comprehending her silence,
"who went away fifteen years ago, but
now I'll not leave you again." She
made him no answer, and looked won
dctingly at her niece,; who had just
been able to comprehend .the fctrano
truth.
"Arc you tho one that was killed
thirteen years ago?" she asked, fright
ened as if an apparition stood bcrorc
her, and, after hearing his answer, she
turned to the old lady and said, "It's
James Forest, your own- bov. vou re-
I member him?"
"Ah," was the answer, "my brother,
James Forest; I recall your face n ow
ls 1113 sister, Mrs. James Purest, well?"
And then the bitter truth dawned upon
him; he had come hack to a place that
was home no more; his father was gone,
and bis mother wuU had happened to
her? Remorse anil reproach came to
him as his cousin told him how she had
always looked for him back, and called
him her boy, until gradually the latter
part of her lifts slipped from her mind,
and she lived wholly in the past. All
his talk of tho time he was a child, and
of the time he left her to seek his for
tune made no impression on her mind,
ami sho spoke to all who came in of
" my brother James, that is staying a
few days with me." As each day drew
toward iLsclo.se he would grow restless
and ask him wearily if it was not time
for them to "go home;" if "Alice"
would not want lier, and humoring her,
he would tell her that they would go
-"to-morrow." When ho Jtad been at
home a fow weeks there came a da',
when he told her in answer to her oft
repeated question that she should no lo
ilfj, and a smile of satisfaction came
over her face, which never left it, and
so she wont home.
There was nothing left for him now
but to go back to his wild life; not even
a melancholy pleasure in the places he
hail known during ins bovhood re-
Afler he left Brighton his feet turned
aimlessly toward the South, but no city
could keep him long. He had como
back as he had planned years before,
with plenty of money, but now wealth
was a burden to him and he wished
each moment might find him so busy
that there would be no time for
thought. The spring found him again
in tho North, going from one place to
another, staying at none longer than a
few weeks until he came to Philadel
phia and his sojourn there proved fair
to be a long one for a wanderer. His
hotel was in a pleasant quarter of the
city, and he tried to force himself to be
lieve that he would be content to spend
the rest of his life here. Search would
be useless now, he thought, for even
could he find Janet he would lind her
another's.
One tlay, in the heat of summer, he
was walking along a crowded street of
tho city, not heeding the passers-by,
when suddenly his attention was ar
rested by a little girl walking along by
his side and carefully shading her pre
cious doll by a parasol not much larger
than her blue-trimmed sun-hat. The
face was fresh and pretty to look at,
but thero was more than childish fresh
ness and beauty in it to him, for in an
instant it brought the past vividly
before his mind, and he almost fancied
that he had somewhere seen this face
before. He stopped, and, finding the
child alone, asked her where she was
going. "Jus' down here little ways to
take dolly to school." was the answer,
and as she proved to be a sociable little
body, she trudged along by his side,
and looking confidently up into his
faco, said, "My name's Jennie what's
yours?"
"Mine's James," he answered, to
please the child's fancy. She nodded
approvingly and said: "Mr. James;
that's a nice name, an' I guess I'll like
you."
With a bitter smile, he said to him
self: "Why not Mr. James?- One
name's as good as another the old life
is gone, and why not tho old name? So
I'll let it pass, and try to forget that
James Forest ever lived.
The next crossing led him to his
hotel, but, feeling an interest in the
child, ho would riot leave her alone on
the crowded street, and told her ho
would go back home with her. It was
"just' 'round tho corner." she led" the
way and then it was 'round another
corner,1' she guessed, so he followed,
but .suddenly his guide stopped and
lookup at him with a tearful little
face. "You take mo home." sho said,
trustingly. All he could learn from
her was that she " lived with mamma
in a pretty house." and that "Kitty arid
Rover lived there, too." It was sun
down already; so he could do nothing
that night but place her in the hands
of proper authorities to bo restored to
her homo. She clung to him, and only
lot him go when he told her he would
come to sco her in the morning. The
following day when ho went, her
mother had claimed her, he learned,
and she was gone. Ho was almost sail
as bethought that he would not see again
the bright little face.
After a fewdays had passed, as bo was
wandering listlessly through an art gal
lery, he heard a patter of little feet, and,
turning, saw his protege.
" O, mammaP' she said, gleefully,
"this is Mr. James. I've found him
'gain: an 'now he'll como an' sec me;
he said he would." A tall lady dressed
in black camo forward, and, extending
her hand,,satd cordially: "Mr. James.
I have wished to lind you aud thank
you for your kindness to Jennie I as
sure vou we shall never forget it. Sho
tells me of you every day, and at each
sound of the bell runs to see if you
have come."
"I did promise to come," said he,
appreciating tho humor of the whole
scene, "and, if I may have the pleas
ure, I will keep my promise."
Come now," said the child, cling
ins to bis hand. Mrs. Donald gave
nan Known uurmir iiih novnoou re- a
him her address. Her home was not
far distant from his hotel, and in a few
lays he called. The house w.is a small
one in a quiet neighborhood. There
was a large yard in front, shaded by
grand old trees, from which "the street
originally derived its name. He found
tho mother and child both at home,
and annarontlv sincere In tho welcome
J tlioy 'gave him. It was not the last time
I he camo. for what could be more
natural then that he should accept Mrs.
Donald's kind, informal invitations to
call, finding, as he did. her-society
agreeable, and her hou'e a? quiet,
pleasant place, away from the dust and
noise of the city. .ft
Mrs. Donald "was a widowrhor hus
band having died two rears before.
Though stilT young and rcLuninir much
of the dedicate beauty ho must have
had in her girlhood, James Forest felt
tbatsomo sorrow, of an earlier date
than the death of her hu-band, mtrst
have bro'ight the sad look to her face.
Fall came and James Forest's much
wandering feet were still treading the
shaded tlreets of Philadelphia, and I12
was at a lost to know why he stayed
and why tho "restless, unsatisfied lo'ng
ing" of his heart was les strong than
it bad been a year ago. 4;
It was not long bofore ho 'laid off his
affectations of a slouched hat ami
bizarre necktie, and one day, surveying
himself in the glass, he solilorpti.cd'lhus
with an energetic thrust of his right
hand into vacancy: "lias it come to
this -that , the hero of a hundred ad
ventures, with scarred body and mind,
should 'court an amorous looking
glass?' Aud all for what? AhJ-littlc
Janet, is it the fcamc with one as it was
with you? Am I as changeable as I
thought you? Why do 1 stay here?
Why don't I go back to my old life
among the Indians? I will go, but 1
cannot now."
Mrs. Donald's .soliloquy one morning:
What can it mean? Am I foolfsh
enotigh to sit here listening for his foot
step? What should I care whether ho
comes again or not? Fifteen years ago
1 Used to listen for another s coming;
and now how will nil this foolishness
end? it'is only a few days before we
go away for the net three months, and
when I come back he'll bo gone, and
then we'll both forget and 1 want to
forget."
It was not many days after this that
James Forest turned by chance (or was
it intentionally?) from the crowded
thoroughfare into tho-qtiieter street tied
led to Mrs. Donald's home. The child
espied him before he had reached the
gate and tripped down the walk to meet
him. Holding his hand they entered
tho house, and she announced that
"Mr. James had come again." For
some time she mouopolizcd'tho conver
sation. " We're goin' 'way ofl, Mr. James,"
she said, "'most a million nidus. I
guess; so, maybe, you'll never'see us
rgain."
Ho looked questioning' at Mrs.
Donald, and she told him that she aud
Jennie had planned to leave the city for
long visit among her husband s rcla-
ves 111 the WeL It might have been
tat James Forest would never have
lokcn tho thoughts that were in his
11ml, and that two lives would have
en hopelessly sad, just missiuir the
y so near them, yet of which they did
)l dream; but Pale look the matter in
r own hands and a child was her mo
unt ot communication. What ol.se
itihl have prompted Jennie to inler-
ipt their conversation with, "Mamma,
r. James hasn t got any homo -don't
m leel sorry lor him? Jle says he
in' t live anywhere. Iwiali he would

that is what 1 wanted to tusk vou.

lywhere nowhere, aud 1 am tired of
all now. N hat will your answer be?
o you see the pity of tho loneliue.-s of
y lifor Jf 1 have only fancied thalyou

forget it all -if I can."
"Mr. James." she said quickly, fear
ing that a feeling, which sho kept in
subjection, would speak in spite of her
resolution, "1 wish this had not hap
pened. I wish I had gone yesterday,
then both of us would have been spared
this. 11 don't know how to tcllyou.
1 have never spoken of it to anyone, but
I must tell you now: liftecn years ago
or about that time, the tiivt and only
one 1 ever truly loved went away and
never came back; but as the years pass
I think of him more1 and more. 1
married my husband when the loneli
ness of my life was almost unbearable
to me; my friends were all dead, and
Mr. Donald was a good and honorable
man; it w;is tho greatest sin of my life
it was an injustice to him, for, al
though we were happy whilchc lived,
1 could never forget the other one, and
I never shall; so I shall always live as I
am now."
He was not a man to waive off a de
cision once made, but ho said, "Isn't it
so with all of us? I left, a littlo girl
once that w:is more beautiful and dear
er to me than any have been since then,
ami a few years after, when I came
back, she was married, and we have
never nioL 1 cannot forget cither but
if that's the way of the world we must
accept it as such."
Sho seemed to be musing and. look
ing up, said: "Is it possible that in any
of your wanderings you may have met
him, James Forest?" She did not sec
him start or notice the sudden Hush on
his face. He answered calmly, "Yes,-1
used to hear of him years ago" "Yon
heard nothing ill of him. 1 am sure,"
she said, interrupting.
" Ho lived somewhere in the East, 1
think;" he spoke deliberately and as if
weighing each word. " Ho left homo'
in ' 19, and some time in '50 or '51 went
to Australia, and that was the last his
friends ever heard of him. Did he die
there?"
" His name was among a long list of
others killed or missiug in a mine dis
aster," she said, sadly, "1 never knew
ho went to Australia."
" What if he should come back, this
James Forest?" he asked, "stranger
things than that liavo happened. Mrs.
Donald, if James Forest stood before
you to day. would you be glad to havo
found him"?"
"Oli, I don't know! I don't know!"
she said, pressing her hands to her face
as a sudden nameless fear of joy came
over her. 4,no might havo forgotten
me he might not care; and he would
lind me so changed he would net know
me now, and and he couldn't forgive
me."
Ho gently took her hands from, her
face, and looked into her eyes, remem
bering with what smiling courage they
had met his sixteen years before.
"Ho docs know you. and lie lias not

Jimmy Takes Tare ef the Baby.
After this, don't say anything more
to mo about babies. There's nothing
more spiteful and raKitioua than a baby.
Our baby got me into an awful .crapo
once tllo time J blocked it. Hut I
didn't blame it so much that lime, lie
cause, after all, it was partly my fault;
but now it has gone and done one of
the meanest thing a baby ever did, an 1
came very near ruining me.
It has been a long time since mother
aod Sue said they would never trust
me to take care of the babv again, but
the other day they wanted iwfully to
go to a funeral. It was a funeral of
one of their best friends, and thero w.13
to bo lots of Mowers, and they expected
to sec lots of people, ami thev said thoy
would try mo once more. 'They were
going to be gone about two hour, and
I was to take care of the baby till they
came home again. Of course 1 said I
would do my be it, and so 1 did, only
when a bov tries to do his beat he is
sure to gel himself into trouble. Hew
many a time aud oft have I fottud this
to bo true! Ah! this is indeed a hard
and hollow world. The la.-t thing Sue
said when she went out of the door
was, " Now, he a good boy; if you day
any of your trick 1 11 let you know." I
wish Mr. Travers would marry her,
and take her to Chinx I don't believe
in sister-, anyway.
They hadn't been gone ten minutes
when tho baby woke up and cried, and
I knew it did it on purpose. Now I
, had once read in an old magazine that
1 if 011 put molasses on a baby's lingers,
j and give it a feather to play with, it
will try to pick that feather off aud
amue itself, and keep quiet lor ever
i so long. I resolved to try it; so I went
, straight down stairs and brought up
the big molasses jug out ol the cellar.
Then 1 made a little hole in one. of
mother's pillows and pulled out a good
handful of feathers. The baby stopped
crying as soon as it saw what I was at,
and so led me on just on purpose, to
get me into trouble.
Well, I put a little molasses on the
baby's hands, and put the feathers in
its lap and told it to be good and play
real pretty. The baby began to play
with the feathers, just as the magazine
said it would, so I thought I would let
it enjoy itself while I went up to my
room to read a little while.
That baby never made a sound for
ever so long, and 1 was thinking how
pleased mother and Sue would be to
lind out a new plan for keeping it quiet.
I just let it enjoy itself till about ten
minutes before the time when they
were to get back from the funeral, anil
then I went down to mother's room to
look after the " little innocent," as Suo
calls it. Much innocence there is about
that bab !
I never saw such a awful spectacle.
The baby hail got hold of the molasses
jug, which held tuornagallon, and had
up-et it and rolled all over in it. The
feathers had stuck to it so close that
you couldn't hardly see iLs face, and its
head looked ju-t like a chicken s head.
You wouldn't hclictc how that molasses
had spread over the carpet. It seemed
as if about half the room was covered
with it. And there sat that wretched
"littlo innocent" laughing to think
how I'd catch it when the folks came
home.
Now, wasn't it my duty to wah that
baby, and get the feathers and molas-e;
off it? Any sensible person would sa
that it was. 1 tried o wa-h it in the
wash-basin, but the feathers kept stick
ing on again as fast as I got them off.
So I took it to the bath-tub aud turned
the water on, and held tho baby right
under the stream. The feathers wero
gradually gelling rinsed away, and the
molasses was coming off beautifully,
when .something happened.
The water made a good deal of noise,
and I was standing with my back to the
bath-room door, so that L did not hear
anybody como in. The first thing I
knew Site snatched the baby away, and
gave me such a box over the ear. Then
she screamed out. " Ma! come here this
wicked boy is drowning the baby O you
little wretch won'tyou catch it for this."
Mother came running up stairs, and
they carried tho baby into mother's
room to dry it
You should have heard what they
saitl when Sue slipped and sat down in
the middle of the molasses, and cried
out that her best dress was ruined, and
mother saw what a state tho carpet wa
in! I wouldn't repeat their language
for worlds. It was personal, that's
what it was, and l'e been told fifty
times never to make personal remarks-.
1 should not havo condescended to
notice it if mother hadn't begun to cry;
and jt course 1 went and said I was
awfully sorry, and that I meant it all
for the best, and wouldn't havo hurt
tho baby for anvthing, and begged hot
to forgive ntc and net cry any more.
When father came homo they told
him all about it. I knew very well they

Artenuis Ward as a Boy
Waterford, Mo., is full of recollec
tions of Charles Brown's boyish pranks,
and his fellow-townsmen take pride in
relating them, though time was when
thoy caused not a little ominous shak
ing of the older heads, bringing foith
repeatedly the prediction that, he
would never come to any good.. One
of his earliest exploits was the organ
izing of a circus that loral institu
tion dear to the heart of VMBpall boy.
Dressed in one of his mother? gowns,
his head ornamented with her bc.-t
bonnet, the future "genial showman"
acted as clown, ring-master and man-agcr-iu-chicf,
with his village cronies
as assistants. His father's red cow,
covcrea with blankets and provided
with a stuffed coat-sleeve for a trunk,
served as the elephant, and by long
and careful training was brought into
the ways of the circus trick-mule. The
occasion of all others was the initiating
of some country greenhorn into the
mysteries of the "show business," by
permitting him to ride the elephant
When such a yonth was found and
brought in, ho was placed on the back
of the animal with great ctyemony, to
be as surely tossed " sky high." Upon
this, Charles would express the great
est surprise that the elephant should
act so, and would commiserate the
poor victim pvith much concern.
(Charles continued all his life a friend
and patron of the circus.) Scribner'i

Francois Bonvoisin, a French Free
Mason, according to the Franu du
Nord, recently made a singular attempt
at suicide, lie procured an earthen
jar. filled itwith powder, and arranged
a fuse. Then he seated himself upon
the jar, lighted the fuse, and awaited
his scattering to the four winds ol
heaven. The explosion took place, but
he was not blown to fragments. He
was simply bounced, and after the ex
trication of a few pieces or earthen
ware by the doctors he was placed
again in good standing among the fra

I have recently had occasion to ex
amine some farm accounts which havo
been kept fifty years, $omo notes from
which lcnd you, which show the uni
formity of profit of the farm, and the
stability of the business. The farnl
contains l00 acres, besides sufficient
wood land, -anti the price of it fifty
years ago was .flO.OOo. The present
owner, who inherited a small part of it.
was to have it at that price if ho could
pay for it The price of the stock aud
too'.s of the farm was $1.1.12,90 the
capitnl invested was Sll,13i. The ac
counts have evidently been kept with
accuracy and in a proper manner, giv
ing all the income of the farm, whether
from ?alos or from use by tho family of
tho owner, and giving all . the c
jienses of the farm -not of the family
including the cot of boarding the
laliorers.
It apjicars that from 1S.51 to llt
(that is, the first ten years) the aver
age net annual income was .5 1,150.01.
tor the second period of ten years the
annual nut income was nearlv the same.
From 151 to IsGl it was j-l,5'-G. 17;
from 1K-31 to 1S71 it uas $2,'25D.fe9, and
from 1K71 to 15S1 it was S-V-'Gl.Si. it
Iocs not appear that there was a varia
tion of more than twenty-live per cent,
above or below the average, in any ten
years. It shows that, in the first twenty
year.-, tho net iucome or profit of the
farm was almost exactly ten er cent
on tho capital invested, heaides any in
crease in the alue of tho land. In
the last twenty years the uetaauualin
come ha.- been ten per cent on 'r'i-',-fiOS.fin.
which would be considered a
full valuation of the land, .-(uck and
implements. It mu-t be considered, in
looking at the value of the inve-t-ment.
that money at the beginning was
at seven per cent., -anil now at the per
cent.
The increased valtto of tho farm and
stock comes partly from the general iu
creae of values, and partly from tho
improvement of the lann and stock.
And the impiovemcul of the farm h:is
been parti in tho reconstruction and
additional convenience of the dwellings,
which make them more valuable to tho
family, but do not add to the net iucome
of money. Uf course the ue of the
family dwelling and its .surroundings,
and of horses and carriages for the
family, are not counted in the fore
going figures of net income, although
they are really a very excellent part of
the profit of a farm, in addition to the
10 per cent, shown by tho figures. I
am happy to be able to send ihe-e fig
ures, becau-e thev answer the question
whether farming pays. The who'e
account is in actual figures, and is kept
in the simplest manner. 1 do not sup-po-e
that this is an exceptional case,
but only one of hundred.- of examples
of profitable farming. It dtlleis from
them only in its reliable testimony.
There was no specially favorable con
ditions of capital, or lucky bargains, or
physical strength. Tiieto wero 110
special crops ra'sed on the farm such
as hops, tobacco and fruit but only
such as are common in tho State of
New Yoik. The figures of the record
show the principal sales to bo of wheat,
corn, oats, beef, pork, woid, sheep and
products of the dairy. Nine-tenths of
the capital used, and now invested, has
come tint of tho profits, and the results
have been attained without ecos.svo
labor, or unbecoming fruga'itv, or an
neglect of tho duties and enjoyments
of social life. Tho progress in the im
provements and in the attainment of an
unincumbered title, was rather slower
perhaps than necessary, but it w:issafe.
It will surprise many to lind from these
figures that the profit of farming has
been so uniform for fifty years, and it
ought to inspire a confident expectation
for the future. They seem to show
also that the best investment for the
farmer is in the improvement of his
estate. This farmer seems to have re
ceived his 10 per cent on 22,000 as
certainly as on $11,000, and I suppose
as easily. Perhaps this tells something
on the quo-tion whether a large or
small farm is best. There is no argu
ment here in favor of a small farm.
Now 1 suppose the great capitalist
will .-mile at our discussion of an inter
est of ? 10,000 or $20,000. Why. he
makes that in a day sometimes, and
here is a farmer who has spent tho best
part of his life in gaining an estate of
$22,000 or $2:1.000. Weil, I give it up.
I do not run in the race with him. 1
take the attitudo of an apologist when
I discuss the matter with him. It is a
moderate income, even ten per cent
supposing the majority of good farmers
get that. The average capital of the
farmers in the whole country is less
than $10,000. I conclude then that the
average income is clearly less than
$1,C00. A smart clerk gets more than
that, 'and the country minister who docs
not have a salary of $1,000 must bo
very careful of his expenses.
Farming is confessed to be a slow
way ot making a fortune, but thcfigures
which we have been looking at prove
that the capital in farmingis a good
investment." When we want to set our
business in contrast with the money
making occupations, wc make another
issue and plead for the safety and per
manence of the business; and we try to
show how a family can be rich without
much money, and how they can have
the best thing which money can get a
home. Cor. Counlnj Gentleman.
Diseases of the Horse's Eje.
Replying to the question. " Is a de
fect in the eyes, which impairs the sight,
apt to get worse in the course of time?"
the I'rairic Farmer says:
"There arc some diseases of tho
horse's eye "which may be entirely re
moved by proper and timely treatment
Certain diseases of the eye. such as
periodic ophthalmia, or so-called raoon
blindncss, can only be relieved tempo
rarily; while there arc others, such as
cataract, amaurosis, and large specks
on the surface of the eye ball, the cica
trice of a wound, which arc of perma
nent duration. Depending upon the
nature of the ailment, the utility of the
horse is correspondingly more or less
impaired, and the value of the animal
lessened. Whatever the nature of the
disease may bo, unless it arises from
particular and recent cause, it is apt to
get wor.-o. and may eventually end in
total loss of vision. During tho pro
gress of tho disease, such horses arc
generally more or loss dangerous to use
The animal which is perfectly blind is.
in fact by far the safest and more de
sirable servant; for teeing enough not
to run against every thing is a very
miuoadvantagc; while seeing enough
to be alarmed at most objects that pre
sent themselves is a most serious draw
back. A good, blind horse is, for many
nurjK);cs, a most valuable animal.
When such horses habitually go straight,
tfiey arc often particularly pleasant to
drive, aud a great many of them are re
markably pleasant to ride also. Wo
should very much prefer snch a one to
another th'af shied. Blind horses are
almost invariably safe on their legs, un
less infirmities "of these render them
otherwise; and they have on an average
better action. In reference to our 00
servation as to "their going straight, we
make it, because horses, when they first
become blind, arc timid and uncertain
as to where to go; but when they be
come accustomeS to be guided by the
bit. they learn to go with confidence
straight on, until some indication is
given them to. diverge fibm the straight
line. Blind horses are generally also
light in the mouth. This we attribute
to their being sensible to the fact that
they cannot trust their own guidance,
and so are alwavs ready to yield to that
ol the driver. We have a!so generally
found them lively horses, arising no
doubt from their apprehension of dan
ger from their infirmity, which keeps
them (unless of a determinate sluggbh
temperamemt) always o the gv rtec.
