TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. ▲ farmer dropped two grains of corn In the cold, dark earth one April morn. Together they sank in their cheerleae bed, And the earth fell lightly overhead. “Oh, cruel fate!" cried one In fear. “What evil chance has brought me here! It is not meet that each as I fv Lie in the earth to waste and die. ■ Within this Stone a nice dry shelf Invitee me to take care of myself. ” The warm sun shone, and the soft rain fell, The grain in the earth began to swell. The wise one cried from its snug retreat: ■“How prudent am I! No rain nor heat Can reach me here. I'm fair us at first, While you, poor thing! look ready to burst. You owe a duty to yoiyyelf— There’s room for two on this dry shelf. ■Come out of the earth so close and wet. Perhaps you may save yourself even yet." “Nay,” answered the other one from the earth, “Only from pain and death comes birth. Os such as we spake the Holy One, “Except it die it abideth alone, But if a seed of common grain Die in the earth, its death is gain.* So let me yield in patient trust To the hand that laid me in the dust." September’s fields stand brown and sere. Now comes the “full corn in the ear.” The grain that died in the darksome mold Has yielded more than a hundredfold. While that which cared for itself so well * Lies alone in the earth, an empty shell. —Eva M. Westley in Sunday School Times. Use of Ginseng la China.

Big Plantations In Slavery Days. Agriculture oa a great scale in the new west has made people forget the great business undertakings of some planters in the days of slavery. An English traveler describes a plantation in Louisiana where a single field of 6,000 acres in sugar cane and 1,600 in corn bordered the Mississippi. The plantation was sold not long before for near $1,500,000, and it yielded that year more than $300,000 worth of products. The same planter had another plantation of 8,000 acres, worth about $750,000. One of his neighbors had saved $1,000,000 in 25 years. The crop of sugar on the first plantation was estimated to be worth nearly $500,000 in the year of !he Englishman’s visit. First Book Printed on Shorthand. The first work printed on shorthand writing was by Dr. Timothy Bright of Cambridge in 1598, who dedicated it to Queen Elizabeth under the title of “An Act of Short, Swift and Secret Writing by Character.’’ Evil Enough. There is evil enough in man, God knows. But it is not the mission of 4very young man and woman to detail xud report it all. Keep the atmosphere as pure as possible and fragrant with gentleness and charity.—Dr. Johu HalL
