Why John Hid X?t Smoke. i j** We were walking up and down th | rp long plalf<?rm of tbe railway station Mj at New Loudon, one bright spring 5^ morning, enjoying the fresh breeze Vb that blew in from the Sound while we Kr waited for the Vermont C'eutral train R'f to take us on to the northward, j. There were other strollers beside Oourselves, and we admired particularly a handsome, dainty, young athlete for w his scrupulous neatness, his quiet, de- Jmeanor, and his firm, erect carriage. Presently lie was accosted by a halt- Mi dozen jolly young friends, who were surprised and delighted at meeiiug him } 1 there. They plied him with hasty, tie cordial, boyish question?. "Where lu had he been?" "What had he been doing?" "How was he getting on?" Fr We dropped down on a settee near by, amused at the merry, lively chat Presently some one offered our athlete Kt a cigar. " K< "Thank you. no," he said, firmly j. and quietly. "I have given up smok- j'. '?? " ! lip And then he added, laughing a little a, and showiug a set of very while, even ke teeth : "The fact is, when I reached jJJ1 ?.? ? ,1 I... f/\r uouie inert* aetiucu w uc uu l(> me to smoke, and 1 was under the ue- lit ces*ity of giving uj> the habit." S "How was that, John?" Mi "Well, you see, i was glad enough to lie <et home again, and alter supper 1 j1* went into the hbiary and lay down on k* the sofa in front of the open fire, and Ke lighting a cigar, prepared for a smoke. i Pretty soon ma ctime in. Not my Ke own mother?she died when I was a Re Utile tiling; but ibis one, ever since j*?j my faiher n:arried her, has made a ne prelty and pleasant liome for me. As Ke sne walked along I heard the soil rustle of her dresH and then I beard ner suift*. sniir, sniff, and presently she Ke -aid : '1 fancied I smelled smoke.' I jjj neld up my cigar and confessed thai 1 ua nad been smoking a little, off aud ou, J. for some lime. "'On ! is that po?" she said, gently.' h* 'Wtll, John ay, I don't know that it is Ke -urprismg, but please do not let me see [*;. \ou smoftiuK on the street or when we m\ are out anywhere. I dou't think I W. could bear that.' And 1 said: 4Cer- Mr tatnly not, ma; you can depend on me.' But I thiew my cigar in the fire, Mr having lost my enjoyment ol it somenow, although site did not scold. Mr "Pretty soon my father came in, and Jh? sum directlv: "Ma tells me you Ke nave learned to'smoke; my boy. Well, I ?uppo.?c I ought 10 be surprised that you didn't learn sooner, but don't let rue *ee you smoking around tbe bouse. And I said :'Certainly not, Sir!' and wax glad he had taken it so pleasantly. ( ' Before the evening was half over my Uncle Tom, who is my father's partner in business, strolled over fora hi little chat As he took a seat and looked me over in a way be has, as if he was taking an accouut of stock, ma said, in her soft voice: "Johnny has a new accomplishment since he went ? away. He has learned to Ktnoke.' .? "Dear me! is that so?' exclaimed , Uncle Tom. "Well, why bovs will persist in burning up their hard earn- , ings is a mystery to me; but you won't! ^ let me see you smoking about the J factory, I hope. I shouldn't enjoy see-1 mtr rnv nephew and book-keeper and | jyj protective partner about the works fc" with a pipe or a cigar iu his mouth.' . " ' '"You shall oever he pained iu that way, sir,'I said. And I took my cigars out of my pocket, and threw them .. all over behind the back log after the first one, and I never have smoked since. "Uncle Tom is a great go-to-meeting man. One evening he asked me to go r" with him, and a? I had no excuse to ? . offer I weut. There was a collection, and Uncle Tom said to me: *1 used to .. use tobacco and beer, but since I left it oft'I have put what money I save in ? . i hat way into the Lord's work, and it j*' gives me more pleasure than I ever got , * from smoke or drink.' . "'I will do that too, sir,' f said. 'I will follow so excellent an example for j . a year, and then if I am no poorer I will keep it up as long as T live.' So 1 j . P began-aving my cigar dimes. I had j , to go to church to put them in the box, | ?."f of course, and in that way I became;, intprpsiipil in iIim inlisnnn T heard I . i preached, and concluded that I needed i it as much as any oue. So. boys I am ^ ! a Christian and a church member, and I feel es if I had been getting on quite a little." I "I like your speaking out and tellinir us about it." said the jolliest young i fellow of them all. "Itnives uie faith th I to believe that you have got hold of j til ! something worth having!" I uj "All aboard for the North !" shouted cii Conductor Doane. And the next ruin I ta ute we were moving rapidly away, pc j leaving the group still talking. su # ^ I a ' j?f Bucon Fried In Butter.

Keep your harness soft and clean, rticularly the inside of the collar and idle, as the perspiration, if allowed dry in, will cause irritation and proice galls. The collar should fit closely, with ffi<-ient space at the bottom to admit ur hand : a collar tooxmall obstructs e breathing while one too large will imp and draw the shoulders into an inaiural position, thus obstructing e circulation. Never allow your horse to stand on it, fermenting manure, as this will (ten the hoofs and bring on diseases the teet; nor permit the old litter to i under the manger, as the gases will Int his food and irritate his lungs as ?I1 as his eyes. Do not keep hay over the stable, as e gase-< from the manure and the eatti of the animal will make it unnolesome. Kindness will do more than brutaltherefore do not use harsh lanage to your horse, or lash, beat or ck him. Bear in mind that he is i ry intelligent and sensitive, a will- < g servant, and deserving of you kindt treatment and thought. Remember that horses are made vi>us by cruel treatment; that it is eed which kills; more horses are med from bad shoeing than from all tier causes; that a careless applica>t; of the whip has blinded many irses; inai more ran irom weariness an frora any other cause, and that ? animal should ever be struck upon e head. Ventilate .Sleeping; Apartments. As soon as the occupants have left e room, the bedclothes should be envlv removed from the bed and hung )oii the clothes-horse or backs of iairs, the bed shaken up, and all curins, if used, drawn closely tothebedists. They should remain open In mmer, or in very fine weather, until littie after midday, wheu the warmth i the air is greatest, and then closed, i this way the air of the best portion the day is shut in and kept for relation during the night, when the :ternal air is at the worst. A fire iould be lighted for a few hours durg the afternoon, in very damp or Id weather, so as to dry the air that is been shut in. This is the only ay in which the exhalation from the 1 I clothes cau be got rid of in such a 1 ite of the atmosphere, and the sweet- ' 'ss and purity of the clothiup: and her material, which are kept in ward- | hes, secured. ? May never another war-drum be >ard or a liag unfurled on an Amerin battle-field. Put up thy swnrd into its place, for 1 they that take the sword shall per- ' h with the sword. I never knew a national dispute that ight not have been settled without a sort to the sword. My kingdom is not of this world : if y kingdom were of this world, then ould my servants ftebt. Tomato Calinp. Tomato catsup is a favorite relish. Put one peck of ripe tomatoes and one quart of onions in a porcelain kettle and boil until a soft mash. Then press through a course seive, add to it one quart of vinegar, one ounce of salt, one ounce of mace, one tablespoonful each of black pepper, cayenne pepper and ground cloves, and five pints of sugar. Return to the fire and boil several hours, stirring frequently. Botlle and seal. A catsup generally u?ed in the South is made with a peck of green tomatoes and a half peck of onions. Chop and put in a porcelain kettle with three ounces of mustard seed, one ounce of salt, one ounce of cloves, one ounce of allspice, half a pint of mixed mustard, one ounce of black pepper, one ounce of celery seed, and a pound of brown sugar. Cover with vinegar and place on the fire and boil slowly two hours; strain through a seive, bottle and seal. A fine catsup can be made of cucumbers. Chop fine four good size onions, peel and take out the seed of three dozen ripe cucumbera and put in the bowl with the onions and chop ; drain off the water aud put in preserve jare. Heat a quirt, of vinegar, adding a scant teaspoonful of cayenne pepper; a tablespoonful of salt, and one of ground clove*; when just warm turn over the chopped cucumbers so the jars are full, seal and put in cool place. Try it on fish.

HILL, a October 30tb, 1995. Judge of Probate, ai s KINDLY AFFECTIONED. J? . ii Love la the Fulfilling: of the Law? Blessing: or a Pure Heart. A loving heart, asmiling face, a gentle voice, a winsome presence, a cheer- ? ful Christian life, are among the best endowment* and most blesued gifts h that can be in th? possession of any A human being. Like sunshine, the c( one who has these qualities scatters | the clouds, the fog, the shadows ana a the chilline.is of the world. There is altogether too little sunshine of ibis ai sort. Too mauy people find this a very H hard world to live in. When we w think of the burdens, the sorrows, the & privations, the disappointments that come to all, and that rests so crushing- M ly on many, we begin to realize why it is that the Bible so often urges us to be M kind, gentle, tender-hearted, forgiving , and loving. The law of the world is selfishness, tb but the law of the kingdom of God is kindness and love. Selfishness tends segregation and isolation. Love tends re to companionship, combination, organ- di izatiou, unity. Among savage people tribes are very small numerically, and kings are very petty sovereigns. Only as men lay aside their warrings and _ quarrels, their suspicion and distrust, * on the basis of mutual obedience to law and of mutual willingness to bear the bmdens of society, in it possible for any civilized life and order to ensue? But it is possible for a country to a have a certain degree of civilization, and yet to be filled with the spirit of * selfishuess, unkindness and cruelty. -L Antf even in our own Christian land m there is so much of this harsh and self- sa seeking and bitter spirit as to make us 0c wonder if it has a right to be called a tb Christian land. And even in the 8 ! church, amoug those who profess to c< love and serve the same Lord and Sa viour, there is bo often the same spirit of alienation aud variance at) sadly to at interfere with the work that is sought kl to be done in His name. And stil ed further, in many a home where there 8U should be only peace and gentleness, >u mutual respect and love, there is loo 11 often a hard and malevolent spirit which destroys the home and embitters the life. be It is not enough to be intellectual, ia and so keenly so that one is able to be know the truth and to defend it, and so explain it and force it upon the con- or victious and consciences of others. It th in to he presumed that the impression ot made by the Lord Jesus Christ upon 85' those who saw aud beard Him was not an so much that of intellectual strength gi as of kiudne.-?sand benevolence. While possessed of all knowledge and able to make known all truth, He went about doing good, telling of God's lov- be ing kindness, aud seeking to bring ne men away from sin to love their to Heavenly Father and their fellowmen. i l. To be able to teach the Truth, and do 92] it so lovingly anil so gently that men ui will be melted, won and led to Jesus co Christ, is the crowning gift and grace, n A certain artist had made a statue in- in tended to represent Jesu- Christ, aud Be when it was finished he called in 0 lit- w tie girl, who looked at it revereutly, , and said, "It is a great mau." But this was not what He wished to bear. 00 He was difbppointed, and went to 8pi work and wrought and prayed and wrought for loug months. Again he 6J called the little child. She gazed no less reverently than before, but her face lighted up into a smile of gladness as she said, "It is 'Suffer little children to come unto me.'" Andihear tist rejoiced that there was homeifcing of the masterful sweetness of Jesus ou P? the face which he had so lovingly Le carved. an Let uh strive to be not simply great ve, men and women. Let us seek to possess that higher life and sublimer pow- fo> er which brings joy aud gladness and ha holiness like the sunshine of God. . Away with bickerings and contentions th and fault-findings. Down trom their w| place in our hearts with all harshness ba and envyings and malice. Let our of hearts be filled with loving regard aud l0( tenderness for others, seeking to do good to all, and where the good will not be received, keeping the peace and raising a prayer. We may well seek and pray for more m( of this kind and loving, gentle and forgiving spirit. It is balm to the heart ? where it resides. It is the very peace < ini of God within the soul. It comes from wi God, aud is one of the evinenc^sof his presence aud indwelling. It is iu the 1 line of preparation for service hereaf- on ter. The heart that is full of it has fTi much of heaven on earth. The home chl that is full of it is an earthly paradise. ,n< The church that is full of it is evident- VH ly indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and is tr8 drawing near to its Pentecost, when pa that presence shall make itself known in power.
