A WITTY ENGLISH LAWYER.
Sergeant Davy was the originator of one
expression that has been attributed to many
a clever lawyer in this, as in the old country.
Lord Mansfield was not attached to religious
holidays. He even ordered the doors of his
court to be thrown open on Ash-Wednesday.
The disregard of Lent was by no means pleasing
to many. But, emboldened by success, it
is said that the chief justice proceeded to suggest
business on Good-Friday. He announced
this very eccentric intention in court, probably
on Thursday. But Sergeant Davy upon
this addressed the peer on the instant, and
told him that if it were so, his lordship would
be the first judge that had done it since Pon.
tins Pilate. Hie anecdote is, therefore, at
least one hundred and ten years old. In humor
Davy was quite a match for the chief
iustioe, who was by no means skilled in the
higher principles of law. He one day broke
out against the Sergeant with this gibe: "If
this be law, sir, I must burn all my books, I
see." "Your lordship had better read them

large brief with a fee of two guineas only at
the back of it. His client asked him if he
had read his brief He pointed with his finKr,
to the fee, and said: "As far as that, I
,ve read, and for the life of me I can read
no farther." He was engaged at the Old
Bailey, and, a very strong case having been
made out, Judge Gould asked who was concerned
for the prisoner; upon which Sergeant
Davy sayl, "My Lord ..Lam ?-ctfr,ce~rued for]
t ? -him^aral v&ry.much concerned after what I
have heard." .
- Once, when he was called to account for
taking the silver from a client, and so disgraciijgjtbe
profession, he replied, "I took silver
because I 'could not gti gold j-^t I took
. . eyery^uthing the 'fellow had iiflhe world,
v and I hope you don't 6aH that disgracing the
profession." This anecdote has since been appropriated
by many a good man, but it's
Davy's.
It once fell to bis lot to question a man closely
who offered himself .as bail. "Sir," said the
Sergeant, "how do you make.ont that youarew
worth ?3J)60?' The gefitJ&nhn. 'stated the
particulars of his property up to ?2,940.?
"That's all very goyd, Dut you want $60 more
to ?be worth ?3,000. "For that sum," replied
the gentleman, by no means disconcerted, "I
have a note on hand of one Mr, Sergeant
Davy, and I hope he will have the honesty
to settle it" The laughter at this extended
to the bench, the Sergeant looked abashed,
and Lord Mansfield observed, in his usual urbane
tone, "Well, brother Davy, I think we
may accept the bail."

A Tough Goose Story.?There once lived
in one of oar northern towns, not many miles
from Conway, N. H., an eccentric individual
by the name of Fogg, whose fame as a story
teller was known for miles around. One in
his own words:
"My house was situated in a glen some six
miles distant from the stage road. Between
Conway and where I lived was a pond six
miles in circumference. It so happened one
time early in the spring that I had been out
late, and in coming home I discovered a flock
of geese as they were just alighting in the
poud. Rising early next morning, I built
the fire in the fireplace, and taking down the
old shooting iron, I started for the pond to
try my luck. Arriving on the shore, I found
t? ray sorrow that they were out of gun shot,
and to fire at that distance would be sheer
folly. While I stood contemplating what to
do, a fox came down to the water's edge and
stood snuffing the air. My first thought was
to shoot him, but on reflection I concluded to
see what he would do. The fox in the mean~
time entered the water and was swimming for
halt a mile from' tTre"sftTTre.1 '-""kVret-!
to within a fow yards of them* he suddenly
disappeared, and in a few moments a goose
was drawn under water, then Reynard returned
on his homeward passage and landed his burden
on shore, then returning again, brought
another, until finally he got the whole flock,
and when he brought the last one I shot him.
When I came to pick ud the geese I found
that I had got fifty goo J nice ones,
lugged home, together with tho fox oiiUTmy |
gun. The old woman had not got breakfasi1
quite ready then. /
But, Mr. .Fogg, the fox, to capture the
"geese had to swim half a mile for each goose;
consequently the fox swam fifty miles and as
the geese averaged six pounds a piece, making
the sum of three hundred pounds, to say nothing
of the fox and gun; the thing was impossible.
/
"Impossible or not, every word of it is
truth," exclaimed the-old man, "and I can
prove it by more than a dozen of my neighbors,
to*each of whom I sold feathers enough
to fill a bedr

How Higgins Broke the News Gently.
Mark Twain con tributes the following to the
Galaxy:
"Yes, I remember that anecdote," the Sunday
school superintendent said, with the old
Cathos in his voice and the old sad look in
is eyes. "It was about a simple creature
named Higgins, that used to haul rock for
old Maltby. When the lamented Judge Baglay
tripped and fell down the courthouse {
stairs and broke his neck it was a great question
how to break the news to poor Mrs. Baglay.
But finally the body was put into Higgins'
wagon, ana he was instructed to take it
to Mrs. Baglay, but to be very guarded and
discreet in his language, and not break the
news to her at once, but do it gradually and
gently. When Higgins got there with his sad
freight, he shouted till Mrs. Baglay came to
the door. Then he said :
"Does the widder Baglay live here ?"
"The widow Baglay ? No sir!"
"I'll bet she does. But have it your own
wayT WeHrdoea Judge Baglay live here ?"
"Yes, Judge Baglaylives here?"
"I'll bet he don't. But never inind?it
ain't for me to contradict. Is the Judge in ?"
"No, not at present."
"I jest expected as much. Because, you
know?take hold o' suthin, mum, for I'm go
inar to make a little;communication, and I
reckon maybe it'll jar you some. There's
been an accident, mum. I've got the old
Judge curled up out here in the wagon, and,
when you see him you'll acknowledge, )oufr-"
self, that an inquest is about tb% only thing
that could be a comfort to liim !" .

In Re Capricorn.?An Irish gentleman,
residing on Russian Hill, San Francisco,
owned a valuable nanny goat which suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared. He accused
a neighbor of stealing or making away with
the animal, and i lively row ensued. The
next Sunday the goat returned nome, looaing
like the last run of shad, nearly starvbd-tu
death and followed by the sexton of the Larkin
street Presbyterian Church. PoorNanny
was barely able to climb the hill and get
home. The enraged sexton explained that a
week before, on shutting up the church, he
had unintentionally locked the goat in, and
having remained there a week, she hod sacrilegiously
destroyed the bibles and hymn
books, had torn up the cushions and behaved
otherwise in an irreligious and iconoclastic
manner. In fact, there was strong circumstantial
evidence that the unconsecrated creature
had occupied the Dominie's pulpit; for
all of which tne sexton demanded damages
of the owner.
"Faith an' its never a cint that I'll pay,"
? said Patrick ; "that crayture has been raised
" a good Catholic, and if she has a mind to turn
Protestant and go to the divil, it's bad luck
to her thatdt is, and I can't help it at all."

A lady has a Sunday-school class in one
of the churches. Two brothers attend it alternately.
One Sunday the lady asked one
of the boys if he would be there on the following
Sunday. "Oh no," said he, "I can't; it's
my turn to saw wood."

Dig ArousD the Trees.?This advice
needs to be repeated daily. Every farmer
knows that a hill of corn or potatoes will not
amount to much unleeB cultivated, and yet
there are many who will neglect to give the
same care to a tree, which is worth a hundred
hills of either of the former. In rich soils,
trees may grow rapidly without cultivation,
and no amount of grass or weeds will retard
them; but there are other things besides
growth to be looked afler. If the weeds and
grass are allowed to grow up around the stems
of apple, peach, or quince trees, the bark will
become soft near their base by being shaded,
and thereby be in a suitable condition for the
reception of the eggs which will eventually
become peach or apple borers. Take any
dozen young apple-trees in sections where the
apple-tree borer is abundant, and allow a portion
to be choked with weeds, and the remainder
well cultivated, and then watch the result
^JProm our own-experience, we believe
are nine to one in favor of
those cultivated being exempt from this pest
Tffe same is true in regard to many other
trees which are liable to the attacks of various
species of insects. Young evergreens should
never have their lower branches shaded with
weeds and grass, and the soil as far as the
lower branches extend should be stirred at
least once in two or three weeks during the
entire summer, or else apply some kind of
mulcliingthat.will.' effectuajlyJwep down the
weed^...become large and
strong, these precautions will not be necessary.
Every blad^ of grass or small weed that is allowed
to grow about tKe stem of young trees
will rob the soil of moisture, and this fact
alone ought to he sufficient to make every one
practice thorough and careful culture.

About M*pokg,?Five per cent, and perhaps
ten, can be added to the amount of milk
obtained from the cows of this country, if the
following rules are inexorably followed:
1st. Never hurry cows, in driving to and
from the pasture.
2d. Milk as.nqp at equal intervals a& possible.
Half-past-five in the morning and six
at night are good hoars.
3d. Be especially tender of the cow at milking-time.
4th. When seated, draw the milk a? rapidly
as possible, being certain to always get it
v '" <
5th. Never talk or think of any thing beside
what you are doing while milking.
4 6th, Offer some caress and always a soothing
word, when you approach a cow and when
you leave her. fbe better she loves yon, the
more free and complete will be her abandon
as you sit at her side.,
We append the not uncommon practice:
1st. Let some boy turn the cows away, and
get them, who is fond of throwing stones and
switching the hind ones every chance he gets.
2d. Milk early in the morning and late at
night, dividing the day into two portions, one
of fifteen hours and the other nine.
3d. Whack the cow over the back with the
stool, or speak sharply to her if she does not
"so" or "hoist"
Milk slowlv and carelessly, and stop I
" ' "" " ~ y r a
at the first slacking of the fluid.
5th. Talk and laugh, and perhaps squirt
milk at companion milkers, when seated at
the cow.
6tb. Keep the auimal'in a tremble all the
time you are milking, and when done give her
a vigorous kick.

Sapling Clover.?This is a species of
clover unknown in most parts of the West
and South. It grows from three to five feet
high, and has a much longer and stronger
stalk than the common red clover. ' Only one
crop of it can be cut in a season. It is not

which fall off and cover the ground. The
writer of this article has cut, wt-^iee sueccs--"
sive seasons, about an average of six tons from
four acres of very thin soil and finds his land
very much improved, by it It has another
advantage over the red cloves; it ripens with
timothy and mixes admirably with it, making
' a hay that is eaten with great avidity all
, kinds of stock. If care is not taken in the
sowing, however, it will over-shadow the timothy
and smother it out. It must not be
sown too deeply. In some winters it is liable
to be winter killed. It is a good plan to sow
! it upon frozen ground and then harrow it in
andothen 'roll it after the soil has thawed.
For milch cows there is no hay equal to it.
They eat it with avidity, and it produces very
rich milk. Mules eat it ravenously and it
keeps their stomach aud bowels in fiue condition.
Horses will eat it aud it agrees finely
with them, especially if it is mixed with timothy.
The seed cost, in Louisville, thirteen
dollars per bushel of sixty pounds. One
bushel will sow eight acres.?Louisville Obaerj

very nicely and you will be surprised at

Remedy for Hog Cholera?The Western
Stock Journal (Iowa) publishes a remedy for
the above named disease, sent in by an apparently
well informed correspondent, as fol- i
lows:
"Take half pound black antimony, one
pound sulphur, one pound saltpetre; mix thoroughly
and feed on meal once a month. This
is regarded as enough for fifty hogs; less in
I proportion for a smaller number. If the hog
-is prostrated with the disease, take one teaspoonful
of the mixture with one teaspoonful
of turpentine addqd; give a dose every* four
hours until it is administered three times. If
the bowels are running off, add two teaspoons-!
ful of logwood to the mixture, and give in j
half pint of warm water."

Club, Mr. "Wagner, who lives on Long Island,

crotches oozing thick gum. He gave the

The effect has been marvelous. The trees j
have renewed their youth and now look strong j

1 four pounds of rosin, one pint linseed oil, and
one ounce red lead, applied it hot with a
brush to the part where the L joined the main
house. It has never leaked since. I then
recommended the composition to my neigh-j
bor, who had a Luthern window which leaked
badly. He applied it and the leak stopped.
I made my water cask tight by this composition,
and have recommended it for chimneys,
windows, etc., and it has always proved a cure
for a leak.?Exchange.

FULTON'S FIRST STEAM YOYAGE.
The following reminiBcence of Fulton's first
steam voyage, and the reception of the passage
money, was communicated to the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser, by R. W. Haskins.
Some years since, I formed a traveling acquaintance
upon a steamboat on the Hudson
River, with a gentleman who, on that occasion,
related to me some incidents of the first
voyage of Fulton to Albany, in his steamboat,
the Clermont, which I never nfet with elsewhere.
The gentleman's name I have now
lost, but I urged him, at the time, to publish
what he related, which, however, so far as I
know, he has never done:
"I chanced," said my narrator, "to be at
Albany on business when Fulton arrived there
in his unheard-of craft, which everybod v felt
so much interest in seeing. Being ready to
leave, and hearing that this craft was to return
to New York, I repaired on board, and.
inquired for Mr. Fulton. I was referred to
the cabin, and there found a plain, gentlemanly
man,.wholly alone, and engaged in writing.
"Mr. .Fulton, 1 presume."
"Yes, sir."
"Do you return to New York with this
boat?"
"We shall try to gist back, sir."
"Can I have a passage down ?"
"You oan take your chance with us, sir,"
I inquired the amount tobepaid,and, alter
a moment's hesitation, a sum, I think, six dollars
was named. The amount, in coin, I laid
in his open hand, and, with an eye fixed ujiqn
it, he remained so long motionless thpt J sapposed
there might be a miscount, and I said
to him, "Is that right, sir f'
This roused him as from a kind of reverie,.
and as looked up at me, a tear was trembling
in Tlis eye, and his voice faltered, as he
said, "Excuse me, sir, but memory was busy
as I contemplated this, the first pecuniary reward
I have ever received for all my exertions
in adapting steam to navigation. I
would gladkyjcompiemorate the occasion over
a bottle of wmFwith you, but really I am too
poor, even for that, just now; yet I trust we
may meet again, when this will not be so."
Some four years after this, when the- Clermont
had been greatly improved, and two
new boats made, making Fulton's fleet three
boats regularly plying between New York
and Albany, I took passage in one of these
for the latter city. The cabin in that day was
below, and as I walked its length to and fro,
I saw I was closejy.observed by one I supposed
a stranger. Soon, however, I recalled
the features 01 Mr. Fulton; but without disclosing
this I continued my walk and waited
the result. At length, in passing his seat,
our eyes met, when he sprang to his feet, and,
oonrarlv cAiffinor mv hand, exclaimed. "I knew
. 'J ~ o ~J ' - -? -
it must bis you, for your features have never
escaped me, and although I am still fhr from
rich, yet I may venture that bottle now."
It was ordered, and during its discussion,
Mr. F. ran rapidly, but vivi<5y, over his experience
of the world's coldness and sneers,
and of the hopes, fears, disappointments and
difficulties that were scattered through the
whole career of discovery, up to the point of
his final crowning triumph, at which he so
fully felt he had at last arrived. "And in
reviewing all these," said he, "I have again
and again recalled the occasion and the Incident
of our first interview at Albany; and
never have I done so without its renewing in
my mind the vivid emotion it originally
caused. That seemed, and still does seem, to
me, the turning point in my destiny?the dividing
line between light and darkness in my
career upon earth: for it was the first actual
recognition of my usefulness to my fellowmen."
AN INDIAN CHIEF.

we determined* to have them, let comju
whatmjgbf Onefday we came upon them/
and-it appeared so suddenly, too, that t?-;re
was ho chance for escape. Eaph man Seated
himself squerely in* the saddle, and, with revolver
in hand, we"dashed on. There smmA
each identical Sioux on his pony, just as
though we were miles away, and*?s stoically
indifferent as thoughShey did not care a continental.
As we, at full gallop, drew near, the officer
in command felt that we were riding into some
trap, but it was too late to sound a retreat,
ana on we went. I think the distance between
us and the Sioux and their ponies was
just twelve feet before a single reaskin had
moved a muscle; then, quicker than you
could say 'scat,' off from the shoulders of each
identical Sioux came the fiery red blankets he
wore and up and down it was shaken vigorously,
in the very faces of our horses. We
"had boasted a great deal about these horses,
and they would do anything we wanted them
to do?that is to say, they would, drive
through a prairie fire, alongside a bull bufialo,
through a prairie dog village, and over dead
Indians; but I'll tell you, you ought to have
seen them, to a horse, turn tail and run from
those blankets. We were going along so
nicely, and each trooper was sure to make a
dead sure thing of his red skin that we let
the horses have it much their own way, and
we repented of it.
Just as frightened as they oould be, they
paid no attention to curb, and away they
went in every direction. Troopers were
sprawling on the ground, and others were
clinging to their horses' mane, with both feet
not only out of the stirrups, but pointing up
in the air. It was the worst stampede I ever
saw, and I have looked on at 'some' in my
day. If the Sioux had followed up, they
might have made a few scalps, but they seemed
so well pleased with the results of their
trick that those who were unhorsed near them
say they disappeared as if they had gone
through the earth. When our troops assembled,
we, one and all, declared that the thing
was the best of the kind we had ever heard
of, but determined that we would pay them
back for it one of these days, and wo'will, if |
we don't slip up."

FOOLISHNESS OF INTEMPERANCE.
The habit of drinking is, to our mind, the
most inexcusable piece of destructive nonsense
in the world. And no where is it more prevalent
than incities. The money poured down
the throats of men each year is greater than
is expended for improvements. Whisky shops,
saloons, and all sorts of irrational devices and
places to fool away money, are found by the
hundreds and thousands in cities. If a man
is tired, he drinks : if at work he drinks. If
doiDg nothing he must have a nip every hour.
If too warm he must have julip; too cold a
hot whisky. If he is by himself, out comes a
flask or bottle; if in company, he stands treat
till his money is all gone; then, like a "dead
beat," he sits around till some one asks him
up.
A man of moderate salary steps into a saloon,
invites half a dozen friends to drink,
pays half a dollar or more, and walks out.
Three or four times a day he repeats this and
always drinks when asked. It is social. Men
mean nothing by it. But during the week
half a man's salary is poured down his throat,
destroying his stomach and weakening his
nerves, over-exciting his brain, and robbing
himself and family of money needed for other |
purposes. But it is social.
Drink in the morning, at noon, at night, j
then a few between drinks. The brain whirls?
the hand grows empty?the home ones suf- J
fer?the eyes look red and tremulous, as if j
ashamed?ambition is drowned in poison.
Pretty soon, poor fellow, he is unfit for bi}sp

to work. He is not to be relied on. He leaves j
his place and in time finds a poorer one. Then j

is after all some truth in the story of the.ogre
who dranka lake dry, to catch-the fugitives
that were sailing over it. Any man can do Jhe
same?only give him time!
This estimate is, however, matter 'for a
Frenchman; for an American we have to
modify it, by lessening the number of davs he
devotes to amusement, and in place of this
substitute 1,000 days for quietly speculating
how to get more of the Almighty dglUr, 1,500
days for traveling by steam and horse
power, and 200 days in waiting for transportation.
What Kills Preachers.?A religious
contemporary says it is not preaching which
kills preachers, but dyspepsia, which they acquire
at school or college, where^h<?wflinds
are trained and their stomach neglected-1; sitting
down in a study cudgeling their brains
over a dry theoretical sermon instead of walking
abroad among the poor, the sick, the
tempted, the busy and the tired, fetchiq^hack
a hundred living sermons bubbling in the
heart; lolling idly in costly parlors and dining
and Wining with rich brethren and feeding on
the plumo-pudding and mince piep\f? the
dear sisters, until sick and weary of* roch a
life, a sensible man would long for tbefyjuries
of bran bread and cold potatflffi n^is
spcndiug houru and hottrs^Writillg^ilP^sqfc1^
which no one else will ever read, rather fean
in studying the living world until at ddrells
richly within the heart, and the poudl&g it
out to thirsty souls like the gush o&iving
fountains; it is standing up, half-cholw with
a stiff cravat and close collar, bentlpg the
neck and cramping every vocal orgaif*n the
attempt to read a prosy sermon, till the face
is livid and the brain is paralyzed, instead of
standing erect free and clear, and talking
earnest common sense and good gospei to persons
who need it, and love it, ana longh hear !
it poured forth.
Work of Strychnine.?The Oaneaut
(Ohio) Reporter relates the following iwtanee,
illustrating the terrible activity and violence
of strychnine: A farmer named Chilsai, living
near Girard, thinking to rid his confield
of a troublesome ground hog, manageTlo administer
the quadruped a dose of strjchnine,
which killed him n^asfy instantly. 7he carcass
was suspended in a tree, where tic crows
soon espied the savory bit, and proceeded to
appease their appetites. After partajfcg-of
the fatal meat the crows would fly hqfldly j
a short distance, as if in agony, and fd! dead
to the ground. The bones being thoiftighly
stripped of their flesh, remained expued to
the bleaching influence of sunshine, ran and
frost for nearly two years, when, fallingfe the
ground, a highly-prized dog raaatioated wts |
of them, and died from the effects in a stace '
not exceeding ten minutes. i |
"Pap," observed a young urchin .dander
years, to his fond parent, "does tht lord
know everything?" "Yes, ray sea," rpied j
the parent, <fbut why do you ask ?" "Because ;
our preacher when he prays is so long teling !
him of everything, I thought he was not.jost- j

SUBMISSION. 3
Disappointment is the coromojn' Jwitage of
the human family. Oar hopes ate rarely realized,
We lay plans and <Mvise schemes
which to human wisdom see*? to b? jU8t an^
good; but, unfortunately, All our wisdom is
often demonstrated to be folly, and our efforts
result.in defeat., -God; has I plans which
must be accomplished, and' in their development
human schemes are often totally upset.
The farmer, deeply involved in debt, and a
large family dependent upon him for support,
often sees his most cherished hopes blighted;
the merchant often meets with sad reverses
and finds, after a life of toil, an old age of
poverty. The common name for sucfo tilings
is adverse providence, and the complaints
which most of ns otter when experiencing
these reverses, is, "all "these things are against
me." Bat these are words uttered unadvisedly.
It is far better for us to lose our propty
than oar immortal souls. It is far better
to meet with temporal disappointment than
to experience spiritual overthrow.
Our duty at aH times, and under every possible
circumstance, is to do what God commands.
It is not our business W consider the
results. God. ba^mrescribed a.certain course
TfTacTatfrpwbich w#mu8t folloty, .Paul must
plant and ApOllos must water, but with the
result neither Paul nor Apolloshas anything
to-do.
Submission to the will of God is a most
prolific source of comfqrt It is the inexhaustible
store-house of blessing. It will convert
a prison into it palace. The want of submission
to God makes life miserable. It filfejthe
soul with anxiety and the mouth with complaining.
[OriglMl.]
SWIPING.
It would be a very difficult thing to find an
individual who is not guilty of violating the
third commandment There are, no dodbt,
some men who are naturally honest and truthful,
but the man is not ti^'He found who is, by
nature, disposed to reverently use the name of
his Maker. This is the more remarkable when
we reflect that profane swearing is attracted
with no good of any kind or character. "".The
common liar sometimes succeeds in deceiving,
and thus gains his ends; the drunkard quaffs
his intoxicating draught with delight, add is
cheered by its exhilarating effects; the thief,
if he succeeds in concealing, receives at least
the stolen goods as his reward; but the. profane
swearer gets nothing for his labor. He
literally serves Satan for nothing.
Profane swearing may be viewed ima twofold
aspect?as a social indecency and also as
a heinous sin against God. That profane
swearing is a species of indecency admits of a
demonstration, No well-bred gentleman would
dare to swear in the presence of a company of
refined gentlemen and ladies. The. reflexive
influence of profane swearing is withering and
blighting. The profane swearer, braggart and
bully, are generally ranked in the same category.
Nobody has any respect for a braggart,
no one fears a bully, and nobody either respects
highly, or believes implicitly, the profhne
swearer. The profane swearer often
places himself in a predicament very similar
to that of thelittle boy who so frequeadj^nd
, jjrplf when thfere was no ttolfji that no one re|jii.
uu uu niurmrtnnrt crtes. y JUSISO with tile
, profane swearer. He swears to everything,
'^ dQ^lLoccaajons. and that which he designs
11 i&fltensby^refixingprofane oath8^"
In a social point of view, nothing can be
more absolutely disgusting than to hear an individual
continually belching out horrid oaths.
It shocks the sensibilities of even the infidel
' who has a p|bper, sense- of decorum. Some
| men seem "to &mk>tba% putting an oath in
every sentence makes them dignified. But it
really does no such thing. It makes them lit1
tie and contemptible." There are some places
no profane swearer would blaspheme. A man,
not delerloUB, would ever think of swearing
profane oaths on a dying bed. Strict analysis
reveals the fact that profane swearing is an
evidence of cowardice. All bullies are great
swearers. They place fer more dependence
..in blasphemous threats than in .well aimed
, .blows. Thegr are aware of their want of moral
courace. and attempt to supply the deficit
with immoral oaths. It is not maintained
that all men who male use of profane oaths
are cowards, but that til cowards are profane
swearers,
* But regarded in a fcoral point of view, profane
swearing is a gnat sin. It generally assumes
a two-fold aspect, consisting both of
frivolously using tie name of God and pronouncing
anathema; upon ourselves or some
of the works of crettion. Grumbling on account
of the eventsof Providence, when these
events are entirely beyond our control, is a
species of profant swearing. In the third
commandment it is expressly declared that
"God will not hod him guiltless that taketh
his name in vain,' It is a very strange thing
that we all, infidls and Christians, have gods
by which to swhr, but many of us have no
God to worship md adore.

WAfCH AND PRAY.
I It is a sore calamity that so few of those
I who profess tope praying people, actually do
[pray. It has j reflexive influence upon the
individual v?y similar to that of being
caught in a jdllful falsehood. ' Thore are a
great many ndividuals in every. Christian
community wlo, to say the least that can be ! i
said coucernng them, are very inconsistent. ]
A vast multitide of church members prom- (
ise, under tfymost solemn circumstances "to i
pray with--fid for their children/' and notwithstandinf
all this, the families of these individuals
nVer heard them utter one single
word of seious prayer. Such a thing as a
family alta/has no existence in many house- t
holds. Tbre are some whole congregations i
which havjnot a single praying man in them t
except thepastor. Such congregations are
generally 4ouds without rain. Their location 1
is markedly a moral waste?a kind of de- J;
bris. Nome will doubt that such a state of ,
things ist cause of sorrow. A prayerless a
Christriaiis not to be found. The true child , v
of God met pray. It is a part of his renewed i>
nature. 3e cannot live without prayer. ; a
But tire is another evil which is very com- j 0
mon amDgst professed Christians. It is the !
sin of liing off their guard. There are few j a
men of bom it can be said that they live ab- ^
soluteljprayerless lives; but there is no man I r,
who is ? watchful as he should be. We are ! ^
prone t conclude that we can pray away our '
sins, luce we too often fall into the habit of h
induing in gross sins, and then praying for w
forgivtess. We do not try to keep from sin- j
ni?g, af on the contrary, so circumstance a
ourseles that it is impossible to avoid viola- i P
ting Od's law. There are thousands of situ- j
ationgin which if we suffer ourselves to be j U]
plac? it is absolutely impossible to avoid fo

.
ftgranl^olatioD3 of the laws which regulate
Chrprian condu ct. There are some men and
sp/e places that every Christian should avoid
?& he would a deadly plague. man could
be long pious and associate with some men,
and no man will ever get to hearen unless he
makes it a matter of conscience,inever, under
ordinary circumstances, to do sopae things, nor
to go to some places. It is fo6lish?it i3 absurdly
wicked, to suffer ourselves ever to be
off our guard. Every Christian is surrounded
by enemies. The moment a weak point is
discovered, these enemies mike a fierce a*
sault. It is useless to desert the standard, and
then hope to be protected qhd defended by
Hiim whom we have deserved. The instruction
of the Saviour is, "wf^bh and pray." It
is of no use to pray to Gfod ta be delivered
from evil when we rush focklessly into temp*
tation. Some of ns no doubt would be in far
better temporal circumstances, and our hopes
of heaven would be beffor founded, had we
watched more. One sentinel is worth more
than ten ten thousand bristling bayonets with

"SET THY HOUSE IN ORDER.",

Little Gifts.?Rev. Samuel Cox, in th
Sunday Magazine, eloquently points out ho'
those possessing only little, gilts and few oi
portunities may serve Goa and men. H
says:
But some will say, "How willingly woul
we serve men if we coiiWl But wehav

there must be many briers, many biarablesperhaps
a score, or a hundred, of these f<
every tree that throws lofty branches into tb
air. And a few of these orambles might g<
together, and say, "We are of no use; the to
est does not need us; men do not core for u
0, that we could bear olives or figs, or grapes
As it is, we are good for nothing but to be ci
down and cast into the fire. Why should ?
wait for that ? Let us catch fire and bur
the fotest down." But need tfre brambl<
thus despair of themselves? Ask the bjrc
who pluck blackberries off the briers! Eve
the bramble, if, instead of catching fire, it wi
give itself to its proper work, is capable (
bearing a fruit wiicii many pme ak >ve tli
sour olive or the too luscious fig, a fruit s
sweet, but not so perilous, as the grape. An
just as the bramble may always either yiel
fruit, or store up the sweet juices which tur
to fruit, so we, if we will use our few gifts, am
the trivial opportunities which every. da;
brings, may oe always either yielding iju
fruit, or making ready to yield fruit whicl
our neighbors will find both nutritious an<
sweet,
Vulgar Language.?There is as mucl
connection between the words and the thought
as there is between the thoughts and actions
The latter are not only the expression of th<
former, but they have a power to react upoi
the soul, and leave the stain of corruptioi
there. A young man who allowB himself t(
use one vulgar or profane word has not onh
shown that there is a foul spot upon his mind
but by the utterance of that woid he extends
that spot and inflames it, till, by indulgence
it will pollute and ruin the soul. Be carefui
of your words and of your thoughts.
If you can control the tongue, that no Improper
words are pronounced by it, you will
soon be able to control the mind and save it
from corruption. You extinguish the fire by
smothering it, or by preventing bad thoughts
from bursting into language. Never utter a
word anywhere which you would be ashamed
to speak in the presence of the most refined
female or the most religious man. Try thip
practice a little while, and yju will soon have
command of yourself
"What Shall I PraY For??"Why not
pray for just what you want?" said a speaker.
'Why not ? When .Christ was here on eMth
bis language was?'What wilt thou that I
should do unto thee ?' He asks us what we
ivant. If we want temporal help, why don't
ive tell Him ? He is tne same vesterdav. to
Jay, and forever. When He was here on
?arth He never turned away from those who
vere seeking temporal help. It is true.we
nay ask for things which are not good for us
;o nave. But if we ask believing, we shall
lave something given a thousand times beter
for us than the something withheld.
"But I believe in asking tor needed tempoal
blessings. I believe He answers such
irayers. I am sorry to see persons in tempoal
distress, putting in their petitions that we
vill pray for them in the day of adversity, in
, timid manner, as if they felt afraid they
rere doing something very improper. No!
t is not improper. This is a world of trouble
nd we never snail get rid of it till we get out
f the world."
Cast All Upon Christ.?A man carrying '
burden was overtaken by a rich man as he
rove along, and invited to get up in the car- j
iage, which he thankfully did. After awhile 1
tie rich man looked around and saw the buren
still strapped to the travelers's back. He
lerefore asked him why he did not lay down
is pack on the seat beside him. But he ansered,
"He could not think of doing that; it
as quite enough that he himself should be
llowed to sit behind in the carriage, without
utting his burden on the seat also." Thus
ften do believers fear to lay too much upon
le God who has bidden us cast all our care
pon Him, and a' ??vd us that "He careth
ir us."

THE SEWIJTG MACHINE.
XIIS invention may well be called the sister
art of.the printing press, for it gives to one
of humanity anew inletof light to the mind; 0
the needy mother of a family has leisure for mental
culture beyond the material and the Unite.
It was of no use to woman, whose days and >
nights were devoted to the benumbing toil of earning
a scanty pittance by setting stitch upon stitch,
with her sewing needle, that the press scattered
books and papers broadcast over the laud. She
had no time for reading. Book learning was beyond
any woman's home circle of enjoyments,
when she bad half a dozen 01- more in the family
to mako aiid mend for, besides doing "the work
of the house.'' Tho SEWING MACHINE has
changed all this, in such measure that tiro groat
majority of American women have now tiwoto t
read aua to think, if they chooso, and what woman
will not choose that which enables bor to guide .
and inform ber children ?
