It is the intelligent man to-day that wo need on our farms, in our factories, offices, stores and other places. THERE is no short cut to excellence. In every department of human achievement superiority is based upon toil and success is reached only by effort Drudgery in some form underlies every performance that is of any worth, and he who plumes himself upon his ingenuity in escaping from it is like the man who congratulates himself on his shrewdness in building a house without the trouble of laying a foundation. noontide.

The crisp air also and brightens the pooulation against fright or that nervous apprehension lhat in its results invites the approach of any disorder.

Is our great overcrowded hives of industry, song, instead of being regarded as a helpmate to work, is looked upon as a not altogether wrongfully, if we consider the pace at which the workaday world moves now. When wearers and cobblers sang at their work, tha science of valuing time by its measurement was unheard of. Work is probably not a whit better done nowadays than then, but it is done morn rapidly, and, when time means money, the employer of labor very properly considers that indulgence in song would mean putting a drag on tho wheel of Time. So we may with reason believe that In spite- of what isocial dissectors and historians eay to the contrary, life in the old days was a brighter labor than at present DURING tho discussions on the native birds of this country at meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural society, an amusing instance was stated of wild blunders which law-makers make when they undertake to frame laws on subjects with which they are not acquainted, especially when requiring scientific knowledge, and as great mistakes by those who attempt to carry out these laws. Under what was called tho -Scalp Act" i $150,000 was drawn from the publlo treasury as bounties for the destruction of wild cats, foxes, minks, weasels and other animals, an investigation proving that at least $80.000 was paid for destroying beneficial animals.

Barefaced frauds were shown, and bounties were paid for the heads of common domestic fowla partridges and cuckoos, and the officers made to believe that the heads of English sparrows ware the heads of bloodthirsty devouring hawks and owli.
