The graduates had j read their essays, and the chairman of the school board had presented their diplomas and made a short address. Now it was the turn of the young master. and the audience gave him a little round of cheers as he rose to speak the parting words to the graduates. For Phil Oakes was certain to say something worth hearing. So he did. The conventional sentiments about the voyage of life and the port of success v.ere for once neglected. The young master's speech, was short, but good; terse, but bright and interesting and amusing. Amy looked and listened. She was with her brother and sisterin-law. and she was rather in doubt as to the tiling she intended doing; but she did not falter. How nice he looked! And his bright eyes were turned toward her more than once. And she had determined to do it if it was eccentric. She grasped firmly the handsome noseof flowers she had carefully arranged, red and white and yellow roses, with a border of delicate ferns, and as the young master bowed, amid sincere applause, she threw it with vigor directly at him. There was a general laugh a^the novel feature, and then a spreading*Ah !n of consternation. The big bunch had hit the rather * ^1V~ | ety lamp on the orp- .

She stood motionless and watched one figure on the platform. Phil Oakes had snatched up the carpet rrora uie temporary piauorm, ana was valiantly smothering the flames. Amy waited. She had done it! If he was badly burned?if he was smothered ?it would be her fault?her*.! "^CnU how differently she had meant it!

For otherwise she would bo going home with John and Margaret. "My sister-in-law was hysterical with fright,said Amy, laughingand half-crying together, and almost hysterical her- j self.

"But I'm not," she replied, wondering. The schoolmaster stopped short and laced her. , "Is it possible," he said, solemnly,? "is it possible that that child is your nephew?" "Of course! What else could he be?" Amy cried. There was a sileuce of some minutes. "I thought he was your?son," said Phil Oakes, almost inaudiably. "I thought you were a widow."

Yuang and old fowls need enough of nutritious food to keep them in thrift j and good condition. The object of | feeding well is to increase size as rapidly as possible, and to furnish nutriment and the material for the eggs for the laying hens. "With young fowls the rapid growth of body, bone and feathers is a great drain,and to supply these and push the bird along as fast as possible, and consistent with good growth and strong constitution, we must have recourse to a supply of proper food during certain periods of growth and during the season when we desire the greatest number of i eggs.? California CacJilcr. UK ST 'miE TO FELL TIMBER. The best time to cut trees for lumber, says J. II. Andre in the Xtw York Tribune, is in November, December and January, when there is least, as well as the thinnest, sap in the pores of the wood, and when the weather is so cold that fermentation will not set in to injure the fibre. In summer the sap is richer as well as more abundant, and in the hot weather a liveh destructive fermentation is very liable to set in. It is an. undis-rvtifrw-l om/vricr xvr*r??"?<mr?r? 1 tint trees felled in summer quickly decay.

When cool nights come it is time to becrin to forff> :ilrmo- nil -tni mals, not to crowd them to their utmost capacity, but to be liberal with food, so that they will show a perceptible gain. Swine to fatten well need good, dry beds and not too much sloppy food. Pork usually sells at a better price before Thanksgiving than afterward, and a bushel of corn in October will make more pork than five pecks will in December. It will also make more pounds of poultry, if the fowl have comfortable quarters in a hennery where they will not be too warm in warm nights or too cokl in cold iULJUW., UJUIU.

Every year a great deal of grain is spoiled molding or becoming musty j , after being' tlircbtocl. Tins year, unless j threshing is delayed until very laic, the losses from this cause arc likely to be unusually heavy, owing to the wet weather at harvest time, and the bad rendition in which much grain was got un- ' der cover. Yfe heard a few days ago a practical farmer describe a method by | which he put up grain, however wet and in any amovfUt, without injur}-. lie kept a lot of common brick uhder cover, so :is to be always dry, and when the grain was put into the bin he interspersed brick through the heap, enough to ab- j st>ft> all superfluous dampness. Almost I every one know* tbaj kiln-dried brick I will absorb a great amount of watei in , proportion to their size. The brick in a heap of damp or even wet grain will, if numerous enough, dry it out, saving all daugc" of heating. After serving their purpose, the brick should be carefully put one side for use another year. Our informant's father had used' the same , pile of brick many years, and however dry the gram, no usuauy tnrew ;i lcw hrick iu the bin to insure greater safety. It is possible that this would prove a good method in drying oat corn, or to keep hay or grain ia stacks from being spoiled bv heating through, The bricks would thus be iu greater danger of being lost, or with grain stacks of beinx.ut through the threshing machine.?Anicricau Cultivator. EBIXE SALTING OF JiUTTER. The demand for less salt in butter has i called'attention anew to brine salting, and I think, says a writer in ihe New York \ Tritune, that whenever the maker has ( mastered the method, this brine-sal* ?ci butter h.'is given best satisfaction to consumers. It has been wrongly supposed that salt used for salting butter, strikes into the fats themselves and pickles them, a* vxj assume it does in the ease of meat. But all that is accomplished is to substitute for the water left in the butter, usually from ten to fifteen per cent, a saturated brine or water containing all the salt it can hold at ordinary temperatures. At the Minnesota Experiment Station it ! : w.is found that butter fats cannot be made ! to absorb salt or brine: the particles of | | fat are ouly surrounded by this solution. ! i All the salt that will be discovered iu a j pound of butter l>y its own moisture | amounts to little, if any, over half an j ounce: hence of an ounce of salt in a j I pound of butter, a large part is simply j undissolved salt. It was shown, father, j that tht< liner the granulation of the but- I ter. and the longer the butler ^ the brine, the more of t\v< y* t ? take up; the more bc^,0 lou ifc v/iil j ; I tains the moie oi S*e the butter cou" matter is removp *ie.caseous or cheesy rendered harirvr ir? s0:nc other way j butter will ess' and tile longer the I 1 i . , i; UnM-.-r'l!

I: ;acy mciose uiuil- w mt . . ;hat Avill not be taken out, since the brine j 1 .-innot penetrate into these larger masses j ] >{ fat. Gathering the butter into gran- j , lies the size of small bird shot is about j i :lg? best one can do to avoid the unde- i >irable extreme above mentioned. Brine : j waiting can be most perfectly done I9 i . draining the butter as close as possible ( ifter the last washing, then adding a ! strong brine, enough to cover the butter ! ?not to float it. Such granulated but- | , ter will contain thirty-five per cent, of j . its weight of wash wate-, which, of i course, weakens the added brine by that j much. If. after standing in this solution j for a few moments, this brine is mostly J removed and salt acided >.c lxiuforce its : strength, and it is then poured buck and j the ch;:;n slowly revolved, the butter will be salted as much as is possible by ; any process of salting if all the salt is to be dissolved; and this is all the salt that Mh^swer to preserve f he caseous mat^fermenting.

It is quite certain that much is yet to j be learned in orchard management to make it uniformly profitable. If thc-ru were any doubt on this subject an observation of the manner in which its products are often gathered and marketed would be sufficient to dispel it. Many defective apples, as well as better windfails. thai would make excellent vinegar if put to that use are allowed to waste and rot. "\Vnen cider is made too little care is exercised in excluding decayed fruit and also as to the time and manner ' ' - - j-i- - j. j-\ _ i . l _ ill wmcn it is inane, so mat xue arucie | produced is not of the best and will not command a remunerative price. Again, in picking the fruit from the ! trees, ladders are handled so roughly, or limbs shaken by clumsy or careless climbers, that many of the best of the apples arc knocked oil and bruised by the fall. None but the most carcful hands sftould l>c allowed to gather the fruit from the trees. It ought to be remembered that an apple bruised in the basket at the picking means a rotten apple in the barrel, causing not only its own loss, but an additional one. by inducing rot in others with which it comes in contact. A careful man ought also iO do all the barreling. "When a full basket is re- i - ? ?mi- i 1 i ceiveu an empty one . snuuiu uu uiiuuvn iu i the picker, ami the apples be Lifted.

Face two rows stem down against the head that is to be taken out when the barrel is opened foi sale cr use. The others may be laid in indiscriminately but carefully until the barrel is full. A gentle shaking is allowable, ji:si enough to better settle the fruit in place, then the head should be pressed in by the use of an apple press. Just how much pressure may lie applied must be left to the judgment of the operator, but it is quite as likely'to be too little as too much. At this stage a bruise from a pressure oi the head will not cause rot as it would were the pressure not stil! continued upon it, by which the germs of decay seem to fmt>i f<ntwims thf> hmisf'd spot, us they would if it were more freely exposed to the atmosphere. "Whatever maybe the reason, it is quite we'll established that a pressure that prevents any movement of the apples when the package is handled, even if it occasions bruises to a few, is necessary to good keeping when barrelled. While a selection of fair and sightly apples is allowable and expected for the head, to be shown to the buyer, these should not be so much better than the average as to be disappointing when ^kminc^mverdow^jJi^^al^iouid^)^! aercSutablea^^^)to the standard that s claimed for them. In packing apples : it fidvised to make first and > econd qualities, and where there is a j jortion of unusually large fruit even a 3 bird may be made to advantage, for uniormity in size adds much to the appearance. More money will be obtained for i crop properly graded and each sold on . ts merits than if all were packed indis- 1 ;riminately without regard to size, lu general, packing in the orchard at the ;ime of the picking will be found the >est; but circumstances alter cases so luich that no fixed rule will apply alike :o all.?JS'etn York FAllM AND (iAKDE.V NOTT.J.

A common mistake in applying insecticides is often made in not repeating in a week or ten days to destroy the young that may have hatched out after the first application.

There is in Brazil a plant they call the "murderer," for the simple reason tliat it is so poisonous ifc kills almost everything it touches. It begins to wind around the root of the tree, and coming up to the branches reaches out to the ends of tho branches, killing the tree as it goes along. When it lias come to the tip end of tho branch tho tree is dead. Its seed fall to the wound and start other plants just as murderous. And so it is vrith sin. It is a poisonous plaut that was planted in our soul a long while ago, and it comes winding about the body and the mind and the soul, poisoning, poisoning, poisoning?killing, killing, killing as it goes.

Tho batteries of temptation silenced. Troubles that fought against us captured and made to fi^ht on our side. Not as a result of any toil or trouble on our part, but only as a result of "Lookir.g unto jiesus." '-But what do you mean by "Looking unto Jesus?1" some one inquires." I mean faith. "What do you mean bv faith?" I mean believing. "What do yo'u mean by believing?"' I mean this: If you proniiso to do a certain thing for me, and I have confidence in your veracity?if you say you will give me such a thing ana I need it very much, I conic in confidence that you are an honest man and will do what you say. Now, tij^ Lord Jesus Christ says: "You are in fwed of pardon and life and heaven you can have them if you come and ?et them." You say: \'l can't come iUiu usk ixtsc. ? am al'iaiil \ou won't give 'it to iue." Then you arc unbelieving, yuf, ycu sc^y: \vill conic and jisI* . 1 know. Loi;4 Jesus, Thou art iu earnest about this matter. I come asking for pardon. Thou hast promised to give it to mo, Thou wilt give it to me, Thou hast given it to rne." Tftac is faith. Do you see it yet? "Oh,'' says some one. "I can't understand it." No man ever did, without divine help. Faith is the gift of God. You say: "That throws the y^s-jonsir J bility oft' my shoulders." No." Faith is the I gift of God," but it comes in answer to prayer. All over fflorlotja Is my T.orii Ko must be- lovefl and yet adored; His worth it all {ho nations knew, . .

If a paiutor go to a portfolio or a gallery o? art," however exquisite, to get bis idea of the natural world from these pictures, ho will not succeed as well as the artist who starts out and dashes tno dew from the grass and sees tho morning just as God Bunt-it in the clouds, or poured it upon the mountain, or kindled it upon -the sea. People wondered why Turner, the nvrioir ,,^1-1^ rcu fji SKiiLVtitug 4^ bwr-iii ujjuu ww eean. It remained a wonder until it ras found out that several times he had been ashed to the c'pck in the* midst of a tempest nd then looked out upon the wrath of the ea, and coming home to his studio, he picured the tempest. It is not the copyist who ucceeds, but the man who confronts the latural world. So if a man in literary com?ositioa resolves that he will imitate the ! moothness of Addison, or the rugged vigor >? C&rlyle, or the weiredness of Spenser, or he epigramatic style of Ralph Waldo Enier;on, he will not succewsl as well as :liat man who cultures his own natural style. What is true iu this respect "is true in respect to character. There were men who were fascinated with Lord Byron. He was lamo and wore a very large collar. Then there were tens of thousands of men who resolved that they would be just like Lord Byron, and they ovwl w/>i"C lornfA hnt rli.1 not'have any of his genius. You cannot successfully copy a man whether ho is bad or good. You may take the very best man that ever lived and try and live like him, and you win make a failure. There never was a better man than Edward Payson. Many have read his biography, not understanding that he was a sick man, and they thought they were growing in grace because they were growing like him in depression of ! spirit. There were men to, cofi^. Cowper, I 11IU fttJiTi.', *1 IVU.-? ?UU JVU1VHU4V.J I afliicted with melancholy almost to insanity. The copyist's got Cowper's faults but none of j his virtues. Theiv never was but one Being fit to copy. A few centuries ago I le came out through iiunible surroundings, and with a gait and manner and behavior different from anything the world had seen. Among all classes of people He was a perfect model. Among fishermen, lie showed how fishermen should act. Amons raxgatlierers. Jle showed how taxgatherers should act. Among lawyers, He showed how lawyers should act. " Among farmers Ho showed how farmers should act. .iUiiong ruiers, jae suuwuu. uuw ruivrs should zct Critics tried to find in His conversation or sermons something unwise or unkind or inaceulate: but they never found it. They "watched Him. oh how they watched Him! He never went into a house but they knew it, and they knew how long He stayed, and when He Same out, and whether He had wine for dinner.7 Slander -.-twisted her whips and wagged lier poisoned tongue and set her traps, but could not catch Him. Little children rushed out to get from Kim a kiss, and old men tottered out to the street corner to see Him pass. Do you want an illustration of devotion, behold Him whole nights in prayer. Do you want an examnle of snfferinc TTw rmth across Palestine tracked with blood. Do you want an example of patience, see Him abused and never giving one sharp retort. Do you want an example of industry, see Him without one idle moment. Do you want a specimen of sacrifice, look at His life of self denial, His death of ignominy, His sepulcher of humiliation. Oh what an example! His feet wounded, yet He submittal to the journey. His back lacerated, and j*et He carried the cross. Struck, lie never struck back again. Condemned, yet ho rose higher "than His calumniators, and with wounds in His hand and wounds in His feet and wounds on His brow and wounds iu His side, ne ejaculated: '-Father forgive them, they know not what they do." Ah, my brethren, that Is the pole by which to set your compass, that is tho headland by which to steer, that is the light by which to.kindle your lamps, mat is xue example taat. w?.? ought all to follow. How it would smooth out the roughness in our disposition, and the world would ho impressed l?y Ilia transformation and would say: "I know what is the matter with that man, he has been with Jesus and has learned of Him." Alexander was going along with his army in Persia and the snow and ice were so groat that the army halted and said: "N~o can't march any further.". Then Alexander dismounted from his horse, toot a oie'-cn-r ahead of his army and struck into the ice and show. Tho soldiers said: "If he .can do that we can do it," and they took their picks lad soon the way was cleared and the army i ? C* ? T murcueu UII. OUUUi uviu uwuivuutcu u uai [lis glory, and through all icy obstacles hews a path for Himself and a path for us, saying: "Follow Me! I do not ask you to go through my suTering, or fight any battles 'where I Jo not lead the way! Follow Me!" Again I remark, that we are to look to Christ as a sympathizer. Is there anybody in the house to-day who does not want sympathy? I do not know how any one can live without sympathy. There are those, however, who have gone through very rough paths in life who bad no divine arm to lean Da. How they got along I do not exactly inow. Their fortunes took wings in some unfortunate investment and flew away. The sank failed and they buttoned up a penniless pocket. Ruthless speculators carried olf the fragments of an estate they were twentyfive years in getting with hard work. Qow did they stand it without Christ? , Death came into the nursery and there was in enipiy eru\ une voice less m cuo Household. One fountain less of joy and laughter. 1'wo hands less, busy all day long in sport. Two feet less to go bounding and romping through the hall. Two eyes less to beam with love and gladness. Through all that house shadow after shadow, shadow after shadow until it was midnight. How did they get through it? I do not know. They trudged the great Sahara "with no water in the goat skins. They plunged to their chin in the slough of despond and had no one to lift them. In an unseaworthv cratt they put out into a black Euroclydon. Mv brother, mv sister, there is a bahnlhai. cures the worst wound. Th~-r> ^?S*iiffale up tne'Wifl'a'L ftarLness.There-is a liarbor from the roughest ocean. You need and may liave the Saviour's sympathy. You cannot get on this way. I seo your trouble is wearing you out body and mind and soul. I come on no fool's errand to-day. I 'come with a balm that can heal any wound. Arc you sick? Jesus was sick. Are you weary ? Jesus was weary. Are you persecuted? Jesus was persecuted. Arc you bereaved? Did not Jesus wcqp over Lazarus? Oh, ves, like a roj on the mountains of Bether Jesus comes bounding to your soul to-day. There is not one passage of Scripturc, every word of which is a "heart throb: "Come unto Me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I wijl give you rest." Then th^rc is another passage just as <->* V>r? An am I AI*/1 VUt CIA J UUIUCU UJ1 UiJ.V5 iJ-JiU wfcliV* He will sustain tbee." Oh, there are green pastures where the heavenly shepherd leads the wounded and sick of the flock. The Son of God stands by the tomb of Lazarus and will gloriously break it open* at the right time, Genesarct caiinot toss its wares so high that Christ cannot walk them. The cruse of- oil will multiply into an illimitable supply. After the orchard seems to have been robbed of all ?ts? fruit, the Lord has one tree left, ?ull of golden and ripe supply. The requiem may wail with gloom and with death; but there cometh after a while a song, a chant, an anthem, a battle march, a jubilee, i a coronation. f)h. dq you not reel tho breath j of Christ's sympathy now, you bounded ones, you troubled ones? If you do not. I would like to tell you of the chaplain in the army who was wounded so he could not walk, but he heard at a distance among the dying > a man who said: "Oh, my God!': Ho said to himself: "I must help that man though I can't walk." So he rolled over and rolled through his own bloojJ and rolled on over many of tire slain, until he came where th>: ooui' fellow was suffering he preabaed to him the comfort of thu Gospel, and with his owu wound ho seemed to soothe that man's wound. It was sympathy going out toward an object most g?C6S*iK?ua, and mwi t.Vinr. Via 'vrnlti An>.ilv understand. Ami ^ i<. is with "Christ. l&ough wounded all I over Himself, He hears the crv o.f c.ur repentance, tho crv" of ouv - bereavment. the ery of our poverty, the cry of our wretchedness, and He says: "I must go and help that soul," and He rolls oyer with i wounds in head, wound,? ;r< hands, wounds in feet, toward until He comes just where we ) are'weltering in our. own blood, and He puts His arm over us?and I see *t is a wounded i arm. and it is a wounded hand?and as He throws Si's arm over us I hear Him say: "I halve loved thee with an everlasting love," o I Again, we must look to Christ as our final rescue. We cannot with these eyes, however good our sight may be, ?atch a glimpse of the heavenly land for which our souls long. But I have no more doubt that beyond tho cold river there is a place of glory and of rest, than we have that acrocs the" Atlantic Occan there is another continent ?.it the | sea veiny laivi ana tnis ir.ua ?canti m im^my contrast. This io barrenness and that verI slurs.

Those instrument's of earthly music, so easily racked into discord, compared with the harps that thrill with eternal raptures, and the trumpets that are so musical that they wake the dead. These streets along which we go panting in summer Ueat. or sniveling , in winter's' cold, and the poor man parries his burden and the vagrant asiw ror aims, ana iioag v.-hlcU shuffle the feet of pain and S& tf?\ U.-* ^reets that 50t2i:i f<* w lUl (jic of joy and holiness, and those walls made out of all manner, of precious stones, the light intershot with reflections from jasper and chrysolite and topaz and sardonyx and beryl and emerald ; and ohrysoprasus. Oh, the contrast between this world, where we struggle with temptation that will not be conquered, and that world where it is perfect joy, perfect holiness and perfect rest! 4fliid a little blind child: "Mamma, will I v/blind in heaven?". "Oh, no, my dear," ^p^^th^noth^^yoi^won^be^lind^ "Mamma, will F be lame in heaven?" " "No," she replied, "you won't be lame in heaven." Why, when the plainest" Christian pilgrim arrives at the heaveuly crts+n if r.rujv.c tr* him nnfl ss t.hfi oUM' *v vi/> ' T*7~~ T ,?o come down to cscort him in, and Ihpy spread the banquet, and they keep festival over the august arrival, anil Jesus conies with a crown and says: '"Wear this," and with a palm and says: "Wave this," and points to a throne and "says: "Mount this." Then the old citizens of heaven come around to hear the newcomer's recital of deliverance wrought for him, and as the newly arrived soul tells of the grace that pardoned and the mercy that saved him, all the inhabitants shout, the praise of the King, crying: "Praise Him! Praise Him!" Quaint John Bunyan caught a glimpse of that consummation when he said: "Just as .1 ,1 i-' r ! lilt' pities VI cic vpcilcu IU let Ul 111C wau, *. locked in after them, and behold the city shone like the sun: the streets were also paved with gold and in them walked many men with crowns on their heads, and golden harps to sing praises withai.

A TOTAL abstain*eu. About ten years age or mors, says Canon Farrar, I first became a total abstainer, because I was easiiy convinced that the use of alcohol was not a necessity, and a great deal turns upon that. - 1 saw. for instance, that whole nations had not only lived without it, but had flourished without it. I believe that the human race had existed and had Nourished a considerable time before it was discovered. I saw the remarkable fact that there were some twenty thousand persons in England, and tiiat though many of them had male themselves mere funnels for drink; though they liad been accustomed to drink ; from their childhood: though most of them ) La-1 beeu brought to prison, either directly I oakndirectly, through drink, yet the very day that they entered the gates of-a prison, all drink was entirely taken from them, and yet there was not a single instance on record i n which any one of them had suffered in consequence. On the eonirarv^,?*t?n who have enteral prisons sicklvr^Riighted have been made compulsorn-t^Sjuer by act of Parliavr/v>t. tmd after a few months, !eft prison hale and strong and hearty: and women who had been put into prison perfectly horrible ana hideous in their loathsomeness and degradation, after a short period of deprivation from the source of their ruin, left prison with the bloom of health and almost of beauty. 17Jff'd Y?>c;1<r G:tc liu-y'ral Dollars Rewardfcr :>-y cas ? of Crarrh tint cannot be cured by tafcimr H-dl s Catarrh Cure.
