Upon the (,'reat fertile pralrlea of West ern Canada, where mil lions of acres of the richest land in the world are com prised within tho Provinces of Manl- itol-a, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc., settlers, old and new, have simply taken gold from the jrround in the (shape of mug uitieent crops U the season of 181X).

The writer visited farm after farm in Munitoha the past season where the yield of wheat averaged from KU to !S bushels per acre, and where oats yielded frequently 73 bushels per acre of choice grain. Upon one farm of 1,800 acres, tile crop of wheat and oats was close to 00,000 bushels, and of this the first lot of 20,000 bushels of wheat was sold for K4o and 80o per bushel, ( lose beside this large farm was a small one from which the owner had taken his first crop. Ho had started with no capital the year liefore, yet his crop of wheat was 1.000 bushels andthe quality was so good that he got 8.Vs per bushel for it, one cent a bushel more than his wealthy neighbor, which meant just 5otl lor Ins first season in wheat alone. With a climate peculiarly adapted to grain-growing, and a population repre senting nearly every nation, Western f'anada offers to the settler a most favorable chance to succeed among mends or fellow countrymen of his own.

MO, : ers came Into r .. 0 A . ..... . inuport, irora nobody knows whore, tbe gene ral sentiment of the town wad one of disapproba tion. They had no end of boister ous, half-clad, uncared-for chil dren, who ran wild over even the most sacred precincts of the village. These youn savages were no respecters of persons. They whooped nnd shouted under the very windows of Judge Jones, whose name usually inspired tear in the breast of large or small ilihportors. Nor did they stand in awe of ministers of the Gospel or show any regard for a church. In truth, tliey did not know the uses of a church, beyond tbe fact thst it was a lot of fun to throw stones at it while people were within on Sunday morn- InRR. And as for a preacher, wasn't be a creature whose long-tailed coat af forded glorious opportunities for deco ration which made laughter for the dec orators? Those were tbe baso uses to which the Huntor children put sacred beings and buildings. They did dozens of other things equally hateful In tho eyes of the respw.table portion 'f community, but with all their mischiev ous instincts their depredations were Tnefer absolfrtoly flagrant and unendur able. By and by some of tho more charit able of the townfolk began to pity the forlorn condition of tho young savages, particularly when it became known that thoir father was a shiftless soul, who loafed three days for every one be worked, and that their mother had lost whatever spirit or energy she had once possessed and was now merely enduring existence until it ended. And as for poverty, llillporters had never really known what it was until the Hunters enlightened them. One of the few persons who felt sorry to see the 'little Hunters grow up so neglected was Mrs. Uaynor, whoso pretty borne was not far from their dreary dwelling. 8ha made the ac quaintance of all of there, but had taken a particular fancy to six-year-old Kuth. a pretty child, with much sweet ness and gentleness in ber face and voice. Indeed, to look at Ruth one could not realize that she had been born to neglect, poverty and all the un happy results these two evils breed. Mrs. Uaynor helped the poor little untaught bouI to many an innocent pleasure and some substantial comforts. One raw autumn day she met Kuth on the street in tears. "What's the matter, Buthle?" asked the kind lady. "1-1-1 want to go to school and h-have warm clothes like o-o-otber little girls,, sobbed Kuth, shivering in her thin and ragged gown. "I-l'm so tired of being hungry and cold. This blunt confession smote Mrs Bavnor to the heart. "Don't cry, child, don't cry, I'll see if you can't have some warm clothes and go to school," and she took Kuth by the band and led her borne. That evening Mrs. Kaynor said to ber husband: "George, 1 w ant to bring little Kuth Hunter hero, put some decent clothes on her and send her to school this winter with our children. My heart aches for the poor neglected little thing." Mr. Kaynor arched his eyebrows re' provingly. "You'll be sure to rue phi lanthropy of that kind, my dear. Its a risky thing to bring a barbarian like her among civilized beings. You don know bow she might injure our own children." I'll look closely after all of them. said Mrs. Kaynor. "Why, the poor lit tle thing bas had no chance to bo any thing but a barbarian. I believe there'a plenty of good in her if some one would take the trouble to develop it. liesides.

" hi as ye lilto about It," said the fond father, "Young una are moat too thick around hero." "Well, yo ken take hor," sutd Mrs. Hunter, nodding to Mrs. liuynor, "an If she don't like It over there among your young una alio eau conio back any day." This was suid in tho most inde pendent and airy fashion, ns though there was every possibility that Kuth might not like life in tlio lUynor fam ily at all. Mm. liuynor smiled as sho thanked Mrs. Hunter, and then she took Kuth home with her. The child wasoverloyed. Nioeolothee and kitidnoss soon developed bur self respect, and sho loved hor benefactress as only a young savage can love. he was bright and quick, and learned with surprising rapidity. Tue winter went by und she still remained at tbe itay noi s. The summer and another wintor, and your after year slipped away and she was still there. At last Kuth was twelve years o'd. and a very sweet and lovely Kuth she bad grown to be. Her comfort and Joy, however, were soon to end. One day her mother came over to the Kaynors and told Kuth that they, the Hunters, were about to move "out West," and she must go with them. Tears and en treaties wero of no avail. Tlio misera ble, ignorant woman had long been Jealous of Ruth's affection for Mrs. Kaynor, and sho now declared that Kuth must come home and share the fortunes of the family. Ho the poor child went away with hor unlovely family into a lifo that was hateful to ber. For a time she wrote frequently to Mrs. Kaynor, but ns the years went by letters come less frequently, and at last, after the Kaynors removed to another town, they ceased to bear from Kuth altogether. Timo moved on and brought sad changes to the Kaynors. One by one the rosy-cheeked children sickened and died, and Mr. Kaynor soon followed them. Mrs. Kaynor found herself alone and penniless, tor ber husband's affairs were in a bad way, and bis property bad been seized by his creditors. She struggled for a time, but sickness eventually overpowered her, and, as she was destitute, she was taken to the almshouse. Hero, on New Year's morning she lay, helpless and sick at heart. Sho put her thin hand over her eyes to hide the tears of humiliation which trickled slowly ovor her cheeks. Silently she asked herself how she had sinned that she must be punished thus? Had she not always given out kindnosa wher ever and whenever she could? Had not her heart always been full of pity, mercy and charity, and her hands ready to help the needy? Yet hero she was. ill, old and a pauper, a recipient of pub lic alms. " It is greater than I can bear," she groaned, as tbe full force of her humiliation came upon her. Somebody began to sing in tbe next room. It was poor old Nancy, one of the county s feeble-minded children. In a quavering voice she sung: "Itread upon the waters east bhali be gathered at the last." The words blazed before the braiffof Mrs. Kaynor and she repeated them doubtingly: "llread upon the waters oast Shall be gathered at the laat.H Ah, but it was not true tho promise in these words was not true, it was not true. Had she not cast her bread upon the waters in deeds of kindness, again and again? Y'et here she was, forsaken. Th tears gushed forth anew tears ol An l niti nint II, loiiMicr.

The door opened softly. Somebody entered, but Mrs. Kaynor did not re move her hand from ber cyss. "Mother," said an eager voice, "Mother Kaynor." Who could call ber mother? Surely, every voice that bad a right to address her by that name wus hushed in death. Tho next instant a pair of arms were about her, and young lips were kissing her faded ones. "Mother, my true mother, it is I, Ruth Hunter. Speak to me." After the first shock of joy was over, Mrs. Raynor asked Kuth bow she learned of her misfortune. It was easily explained. Mention of tbe fact that the county had taken charge of Mrs. Kaynor was made in one of the newspapers. A copy of the papcrcon talning this paragraph was wrapped around an express package and sent to the town in Missouri where Kutb lived, and by accident fell into her hands. After reading it she started at once to find her formor benefactress, j and never rested until she reached the niffinuGUSG. "And now, mother," she said, "you are going with me to live, for I am mar ried and have a happy home in wbicb you Suail !6 loved ami cared for as long as you live. I owe every thing of good that bas ever come to me to your kind ness in the past, and I am grateful for a chance to repav you." Mrs. Kaynor !ay quite still, too full of gratitude and Joy to speak. "nd this is New Year's morning," said Ruth: "Lot me kiss you again for a Happy New Y'ear." The words of old Nancy's song floated in once more.
