HIS DE VOTIONS. [Froir Our Continent.) The organ peals. the choir is singing; I wonder if she knows I'm hero ? Her thoughts, no doubt, are upward winging, While mine sink, clogged with doubt and fear. 'Tis she, of course; there's no mistaking Her crowded, glossy braids of brown, And that's the bonnet she was making; I sat and watched her bead the crown. How deft her fingers are, how busy ! All ! happy man within whose home But. stay ! such thoughts they ma1ke me dizzy, And have no place beneath this dome. Far better should I ponder grimly My faults comiitted, (uties ruisied. How neat her glove is, and how trimly It but tons round her slender wrist ! Ah ! vain and poor is earthly pleasuro; No wonder that our sad hearts yearn To sine rmore high an<l Listing treasure They're sitting dowi; pholiaps she'll turn Thank HIeaven , she sees ne !

There wasi. a young mnln living on the 3at11 Estate named Patrick MeDermt, or "'atsy,'' as he wos generally called in Ithe (011ut1y. Ile was an idle, rollick ing, plensaut fellow, reln'rk:Lly good looking, andIl a general favorite ani(loigst the girls. His parents until their deathi had held a small plot. of ground, and a louse or calin atItahleld ; 1bllt not having b een of anl indlustrious dispositionl, they sank at once-as did thlousandsi of others --when "the hiungry year" caio uponl theme. When a firnl demand was made, and a clear understanding como to, tliat the rent nust 'he paid or the land aur rendered, poor Patsy "11st, his Iresecel( of mind,'' is lie expressed it, and frankly collfessed le did not know what, to do. "Well, Mcl)ernot," said I, as ho op p eared one day in reply to a simnsilo0i i from ray ollicr, "what. 1aro our going to do? You owe four years' r'nt. Are you going to settle the nnlomit ?" 'Couldn't youir honor erall mil, ' Patsy?' " replied lie, evading iy <ilies tion with adroitness ; "it's a i indly sort of name the neiglibors ha21s for 11e, andl I'd know far better how to spake to your honor if you was It) use it youirselt." "I have no ob'(jectionl," I answered, "and sl:tl bie happh s:y to call you Pid.;y in future; lit thit loes not. alfect my (1lestion, and 1 n1uist. know lt, Olnee. wiluit ylou' intentions arE, a1 I calnot allow you to remain in 1oss;essioll of your land unless you c(omo1 to soio lettleueint (l oult your rent.'

She then said firmly, but with a strang e, suppressed energy "He might hav i nico laeo, atld plenty in it of the best as long as he lived, if ho would only once spake the word; but lie didn't s)ako it yet, and now I suppose he never will. let hoim go; I'd die sooner than I'd tell him I" ission was inl her co'ltelaunce annd resoiilutiton1 in her laretr as sho said this; and, without another word, or evel a motion of farewell to me, she suddenly left the room.

Professor Sheldon, in the Iowa Home. stead, says : Can anyone tell what dairy. ing is drifting to? \Ve hear of all sortat of <queer nionstrositios, from lard-choese to cotton butter. No man knows what lie eats if ho buys it. Simulationl is the 1 spirit of tho ago, and no end of scionco and skill is employed to deceive. A clever imitation is what men prefer to produce, and the public are led to do vour. The simplicity of geluinoness is out of the running, as things go in the world. The public must cat what is givenl them, asking no questions. The oleomargarine men have done a ter, rible lot of mischief, and ofl'al is the god whom they delight to honor and exalt. At all points they aim to cirunmvent the dairyllle an1d swindle the public. The taste of the people is degraded by the sham imtter and cheese which seems to be real. ,len's Stomacha 11ow tdays; are sepu1lehres 'or strange alomi 1latiois which they ignorantly rather than innocently swallow. This sort of thing is leading them they know not whither, and posterity will pay the piper. It is no longer that which coimeth out of, but that whicll goeth into the mouth that defiles. Meats and drinks of many kinds are not what they pretend to be, and there is a good deal of "tricks that are dark" in what passes for dairy goods. Whosse fault. is this ? Well, in a great )art tihe dairyni:m's, for they have spoilid good nilk. They have given an opweitig for the shoddy men of the dairy, who are growing rich out of oflhl. Tho law com)n1placeitly lets men sell what they like, :Ll:d the shum is, often enough, better th;n the real one. Shoddy sells well enough to he earefully made, and so the makers of eoiinterfeit ltter alnl cheese do flourish. )airymen who make inferior iitter and cheese, no mat er how real the goods may be, are out of t1e rnning entirely. If only the palate of the lllic is suited, it matters not if the article he real or pretended, so care less dairymen can hardly "make ends meet and tie." Blit one thing is clear the inakers of really first-class cheese and bulitter can hold their own, and will hhl their own against. the nefarious St111' thsat is made in ani1y and every con. IV . A w(''din,g-oult proicess is going ol, an11d goods which atre mere siniulations will take the pi1co so long occupied by the products of milk that was spoiledl. If, then, the oleolmargarine business, the m(ltedl tallow and other less credital)e things, shall result in 1brilnging abhout a thorough reform in dairy methods, we shall have reas<n after all to be grateful to miii for whom few of us entertain feelings thlt alplroach to respeet or a'i. cltion. Ihit let the publie hrive fair protcetion, let them know what hey tuy ; theln the dairVnen will wii.---if tlwy want to ; and if they don't the finilt is their own. lussian ('ourage.
