OUR CITY FARMERS.
If yon desire to rank among
The public', pets and charmers,
Yon ought to join without delay
The clnb of city farmers.
They never handle hoe or rake.
And never turn a furrow:
But in respect of theory
Their practice U Quite thorough.
They know just when to mow the corn.
And when to pick potatoes,
And when to graft the pnmxkin trees,
And when to dig tomatoes.
They can instruct the farmer's wife
Concerning bugs that plague plants.
In making souse of roasting ears,
And hatching out her egg plant.
Quite learnedly they can describe
How cheese is got by churning:
But how the cows give buttermilk
Is quite beyond their learning.
They can discourse on breeding fish
To fill the wastes of ocean,
And still find time to air their thoughts
About perpetual motion.
Of farming life they are the soul,
The thinkers not the actors.
A'id harmlessly believe themselves
The people's benefactors.

SACKS FURNISBEDTO PATRONS.
THE END OF THE PEW.
Man concedes to woman the bestseat
everywhere but in church. The church
seats (for no very good reason) is still a
straight bench with a sloping back and
no arms but fo' the cushion a disgrace
to an oldfashioned country schoolhouse
the devil a well known church architect
has for his own reason pat-petratu this
arrangement, while he has introduced
arm chairs and seats inclined slightly
backward in theatres, opera houses,bar
roomSjlivry stable offices and all ungod
ly places. But assuming that the ex
cruciating is necessary to a religious
frame of mind, why should man be a
boor alone at church and appropriate
the best seat next the aisle? To be sure,
owing to another device of the same
architect above-mentioned, this arm its
self is often a delusion and a snare, so
far as it pretends to support the arm
unless it was intended for a race of being
with an arm coming out under the fifth
rib. But observe, that the frail man
tries to get at least some trifling support
out of it for his back, his tide, or other
portions cf his weary frame. Woman
however, must sit bolt upright, leaned
against the slippery verge of the polish
ed walnut or ash, and looking as though
"she -would sink" before the preacher
gets to the mercifull "lastly". But
of course there were high and mighty
obje-jtion to woman's sitting next to the
aisle. In the first place,, it is not her
sphere. God created woman for a sphere.
An important feature of her sphere is
backache, and no true woman would
be so false to her high destiny as to
trifle with any institution, ordained to
that end. Her place is in the home,
nd what would become of the home if
she were to sit a the first end of the
pew, while paterfamilias took his seat
in the middle? Moreover, woman can
not fight. Man evidently sits at the
end of the pew so he can more readily
grasp his musket and stand in the aisle
ready to march to his country's defense.
This question goes to the very root of
the whole matter. She who can not
fight of course should not vote, and she
should not expose herself to the enemy
by sitting at the end of the pew. But
women sits next to the pew in other
places of resort. Tut, tut this level-
j down of sacred distinctions in sec
ular places imist not invade the church
es. If woman is allowed to sit at the
open end of the pew, she would still
more frequently invade the pulpit,
until she is as familliar there as in the
choir.
But there is also the imporiant ob
jection, what would the world say 1
How could a modest woman sit at the
arm end of the pew, while husband or
father sat inside 1 Sure enough how
could she? Then, again, they have
not asked for it. No petitions have
been sent to the Legislature, and the
majority of women would probably do
just as their husbands say, anyway.
Ergo, the men will keep the end seat.

CtUHE-BRID JOURNALIST,.
If our colleges propose to fit young
men for journalism, they- must bear
in mind that the journalists duty is
to write the history of the present,
not of the past, and he must be
brought in contact with the age of
stalwarts, and half-breeds, and demo
crats and not of the homooisians and
tiie homooustans with Conkling and
Gaifield, and Tildon and John Kelly,
father than with Pericles and Cicero
Greek is good and Latin is good,
and sn are logarithms and the calcu
lus; but they are not useful to make
newspapers with. It. may be said
that knowledge and training in an
direction are useful in whatever work
a man may undertake to do, and that
is no doubt so; but life is too short
for any one man to grasp the sum
total of human knowledge, and if any
one has journalism in view, he wants
to be put in training for that, and
not for law or theology or art or
natural science, and brevity should bo
the most severe part of the discipline.
There is a Methodist editor out
west-who knows about how it is. He
says: "If our paper was aboat as large
as the mainsail of a ship, we could
probably publish one half of the pon
derous documents we get. Just now
comes about half an acre of printed
matter with a request to publish:
We may have time to read it when
we get to heaven. Earth and time
are limited. For pity's sake if you
have anything to say, say it without
going back to the pro-Adamites."
WOMAN'S WORK.
I am glad to tell you that out of
all the toil and disappointments of
the summer just ended, I have risen
up to a victory; mat silence oi
tho ight airice you have been away
has won lor me a triunapJa. I resd
something like this the other day:
"There is no healthy thought with
out labor, and thought makes the
labor happy." Perhaps this is the
way I have been able to climb up
higher. It came to me one morning
when I was making bread. I paid to
myself: "Here I am, compelled by
an inevitable necessity to make our
bread this summer. Why not con
sider it a pleasant occupation, and
make it so by trying t see what
perfect bread I can make?4 It seemed
1 ke an inspiration and the whole ot
life grew brighter. The sunshine
seemed flowing down through my
spirit into th white loaves; and now
I believe my table is furnished with
better bread than ever before and
this truth, old as creation, seems just
now to have become so lully mine,
that I need not be the shrinking
slave of toil, but its regal master,
making whatever I do yild roe its
best fruits. Yon have beeo king of
your work so long, that may be you
ill laugh at me for having lived so
long without my crown, but i am to
glad to have found it at all to be
entirely disconcerted by yoar mer
riment. Now, I wonder if right here
does not lie the "terrible wrong," or,
at least, some of it, ot which the
women suffragists complain. The
wrong'y educated woman thirks her
duties a disgrace, and frets under
them, or shirks thern if she can. She
sees man triumphantly pursuing his
vocations, and thinks it is the kind
of work he does which makes him
grand and regnant: whereas, it is not
the kind of work nt all, but the way
n which and the spirit in which he
does it. Mrs. Garfield to her hus
band, ten years ago.
Bishop Philip Klingen Smith, of the Mor
