Don't forget to fix that hinge to the msture gate. It takes a man, in the strongest sense if the word, to be a farmer. If you use a steam thresher, have a few tails of water handy; in ease of lire they nay prevent serious loss. Where oats or other small grains are niscd for hay, the best time to cut is just s they an- in full bloom. It is making use of little savings that takes the garden pay. Utilize evcryliing when it is at its best. Remember that an extra girl in the itchcn for a few days, often prevents lie doctor from calling for several days. The great secret of success in gurdentg is manure and thorough cultivation. >o not hesitate to spend money for good L'rtili/.ers. It costs no more to feed good stock linn poor, and it is no more expense to andle good manure than poor, hence are should lie taken to have the best. Hardly anything gives a farm a more ovenly appearance than a fringe of ushes around every field, and clumps of rush growing in the middle of them. If you have a lawn mower lay it away irlv in the fall. The lawn will be all le better next year and Inst longer if al- j ?wed to make a strong growth of grass i lis fall. How much more delightful rural life J ould appear,and liow much the drudg- , y of farming would lie lightened, if illy the outward surroundings of the imic were made attractive. Peter Henderson said in a recent puh c address that no one should engage in arket gardening after passing middle fe, nor one who has a feehle constitu011, for to he prosecuted successfully ic owner must put his own shoulder to ie wheel.

Boiled with the mud in whose depths she had lain? All the sweet instincts of modesty slain? Standing no boldly there, Waiting so coldly there. Hearing her sentence with sullen disdain. Sternly tho justico looked down from his seat? Down at the woman who stood at his feet; Wondering how she had wandered so far Prom the clear heights where tho virtuous are. Ah, how unlovely ?-he seemed in the ?rloom There in that dismal and crowded courtroom. Treading unthinkingly, Going unshrinkingly Ou to the depths of her terrible doom! Suddenly, strangely, his feature grew mild, There on her breast lay a pure little child, ( Smiling at him with such innocent eyes. Blue in their depths us the bonny blue skic.?. Over her shoulder it struggled to climb, Sweetly unconscious of sorrow or crime, Laughing so merrily. Beautiful, verily? Fair as a lily-bud fouud iu the slime. Voftly he spoke to the woman--and then )ut from that dim, noisy court-room again [lore she her liaby, with faltering tread? ( "reed for the take of that innocent head. Just for a moment the bonny wee child Backward looked over her shoulder anl smiled; Lying so sweetly there? Cursed so completely there. By the foul touch of those lingers defiled. Sndly the justice lient over his book, Asking himself, ns he thought of that look. Through what dark pathways of sin and deceit Fortnuo would carry those small, winsomo feet. Ah, that a blossom so tende'r should rest. Thereon that hard aud unwomanly breast! One so undutiful Crowned with the beautiful! Bin by the glory of motherhood blest. Think of it, fathers, when sweet eyes of brown Watch thro' the window your coming from town? Plump little feet patter over the tloor. Eager to meet your warm kiss at tho door; Tiny wee lmrids draw your chair to its place? Fairy-like forms clamber up to your face? Cherished so carefully. Nurtured so prayerfully. Kept from all knowledge of shame or disgrace. Dream of it, mothers, when lullabies sung Over the cradle so tenderly swung Blend with the laugh of the l?aby that lies Warm in the light of your watchful bluo eyes. Ah, but how proudly you guard her from harm, Keeping her safe from all thought of alarm? Kissing, caressing her, Lovingly pressing her Close to your heart in your sheltering arm. ?Welly U.

As soon as Israel, redeemed from and brought down to Mt. Sinai, entered into > ?"' T-u * *- ~ _ - w . rw |?U VOUUTOU Ml IK His peculiar people, a kingdom of priest! (Ex xix., 5, t5), He commanded a Tabernacle to be erected, in which He might dwell in their midst as their King and Lawgiver. The Ark of the covenant was the first vessel of the Tabernable concerning which He gave commandment to Mooes, and a knowledge ?f it and Its significance and history ii essential to a right understanding of this lesson. 1. "Again, David gathered together all the choson men of Israel, thirty thousand." The previous chapter tells in its closing verses of the gathering of Israel to dofeat their enemies the Philistines, and how David, on two different occasions and by differeut methods, succcsafullv overcame them, being guided by the liord in answer to prayer (cnap. v., 1023); but this is a gathering not to overcome enemies, but to rejoice in the Lord; and it was held after due consultation with the captains of thousand* and hundreds and every leaden^ft 01TT- ) 2. "And David arose, and went with all the jieople * * * to bring up from thenco the Arlt of God." The margin of this verse, and also I Chr. xiii., fi. says that they went to Haalah, that Is, to Kir jatb-jearim; the ark hail lieen here in the house of Abinadob sinro the time when the Philistines sent it home in a new cart drawn by two milk cows, leaving their calves shut up at home. It had lieen with the Philistines seven months, thoTaliernaclo being at Hhiloh, from whence the ark had been taken. (I Sam. iv., 7). "Which is called by tho Name, even the Name of the Lord of Heats that sitteth upon tho cherubim." (R. V.) Here is the most intimate association of the Ark with the name <Sf Jehovah; it is a wondrous typi of the Ixird Jesus Christ as tho end of the law for righteousness to every one that. l>clieveth (Rom. x., 4); as our mercy seat or propitiation for sins (compare Heb. ix., 5. and Rom. iii., 25, R. V. margin); and as ono with His church, t he light and glory of eart h in the days of the New Jerusalem. The wuuuuna goio are suggestive or the humanity and divinity of Christ; the morcy scat is explained by tho passages already given; the tables of testimony, safely kept in tho Ark, speak of Him who came to fulfill all righteousness, and of whom it is written: "I delight to Thy Will; my God: yea. Thy law is within my heart'' (Ps. xi., 8), while tho thought that the cherubim represent tho church, His body, is suillciently established by tho factthat they woro beaten out of tho same pieces of gold which formed the mercy scat (lvx. xxv., 19, margin). 11. "And they set the Ark of God upon a new cart." David failed to inquire or the I<ord in this matter, els? wo should not have had this sad record. Ho know hotter, for hear him: "Then David said, noncoughtto carry the ark of God but tho Levitee. for them hath the Lord chosen to carry tho Ark of God, and to minister unto Him forever (I Chr. xv., 2). Why then did he not do light at the iirst ? Some of us would say. 1 didn't think, or it didn't see* necessary to pray about so small a matter: there was no danger, you know; it wasn't like going to war with the enemy, just going over to Kirjnthicarim to bring the Ark of Jerusalem, and if it came all right in a new cart from tho Philistines, why not bring it in a now cart to Jerusalem? 8o David had to learn by chastisement that God's appointed way is the anly way, and that lie will not tolerate any ' new cart hnsinem" oniong His redeemed people. 4, ft. "Ahis went before the Ark; and 11 widi k fci C'.Wf o IiJnt aiftTiu a'guOu aftftr, and the man who ""would dare to fliul fault, simply because the Ark was In a cart drawn by oxen instead of lieing on the shoulders of the Invites, would deserve to be called narrow minded and a croaker; nevertheless he would stand in the minority with God, and lie a blessed man even though against tho King. (?. "IJzzali put forth his hand to the Ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.' (Margin and Q. V.) The worst stumble was <ui the part of David when he employed this method, but that was not so manifest nor did It seem to endanger the safety of the Ark as much as this stumble of the oxen. The danger of h wrong step does not always appear at first, and the sin is otten mane manifest only through failure on the part of those not directly responsible. 7. "The anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his error." Uzzah signifies strength, hii<1 strength is a good thing, but tho work of tho Ixird is not dependent upon tho strength of men; His strength is made perfect in our meekness, and Ilis work is accomplished not by the might or power of inan but, by tho Spirit of the Lord of Hosts (II Cor. xii., 9; fc'high prtU ft, fflfSSBTw&.'te Aaftj tho holy vessels to be carried, and that, tho sons of Kohath, who carried them, were not to touch them, nor even go in to see when they were covered, upon pain of death; Uzznh in taking hold of tho Ark disobeyed this command, as did also the men of Bethshemesh (I Sam. vi., 19); although thero seems to have been somo reason for IJzzah's act, and there was none whatever for them. Learn that thero can lie no excuse for disoliedience. 8. "And David was displeased."^ It is a srii nusir wnen ine servant 01 i,ne iioru, no he King or peasant, becomes displeased with his Master. It shows how disobedience always leads to other sins and strikes at the very root of fellowship with Ood. A (hid of Ixive can do no wrong, can by no means make a mistake, and the only right thing for His children to do is to walk with Him in cheerf.il submission. !>. "And David was afraid of the Lord that day." Another result of his sin, which prayer and obedieneo would havo saved him from. 10, II, "The Lord blessed Olied-edom, and all his household."
