Iturairous fJepartauat. A ROUGH TRANSLATION. A young lady moving in the most exalted social circles of Galveston, after much toil and practice at the piano, learned to play with considerable dexterity a piece entitled "Picuic Polka." It is something after the style of the celebrated "Battle of Prague," in which the listener can readily distinguish the roar of artillery, the rattle of musketry, the shouts of the soldiers and the groans of the dying. In the "Picnic Polka," the noise of the wind among the trees and the joyous carols of the birds are reproduced, the finale being a thunder shower which disturbs the the sylvan revelers. It happens that a country cousin is in town just now, and the young lady thought she would play the piece to him and hear his comment. He is a plain, sim* n|n 1^.1 vn.itli o .1A alfknllnK Tinf DOP7 jJlCIIIIUUCU J \J Ul/ll* UtlU) UlbUUUgU ?IVV ? VIJ bright, is very appreciative. She told him what the piece was, and then proceeded to give hira the "Picnic Polka." The first notes are rather slow and hesitating, the idea sought to be conveyed being the solemn solitude of the forest, through which the gentle zephyr (not heifer) sighs. After she got through with this preface she asked him if he did not almost imagine himself in a lodge in some vast wilderness. He replied that he thought all that slowness meant the delay iu getting off. Said he: "There is always some darned fellow who oversleeps himself and keeps everybody else waiting." She did not care to discuss the point vwtli the ignorant fellow, so, to conceal her eraotious, she once more let herself out on the piano. The woods were filled with music. The mocking-bird whistled as if his throat would spilt, the cuckoo filled the sylvan bowers with his repeated cry, while ever and anon the mournful cooing of the dove interrupted the matin song of the lark. "There, now, I guess you know what that nfinnHq lilrp " she said, as she naused. I I ~ "You mean that 'tootle, tootle, tootle, chug, chug, chug?' You just bet I understand that. Many is the time at a picnic I've heard if from the moath of a demijohn or the bunghole of a beer keg." - ? Her firs$ impulse' was to burl the piano bin), but it passed off, and once more ? ? " she went at the piano as if it was the young man's head and was insured for double its value. The thunder growled, the lightning flashed (from her eyes), and the first heavy drops are heard upon the leaves. She banged and mauled the keys at a fearful rate; peal after peal of deafening thunder perturbed the atmosphere and re-echoed in still louder reverberations until it wound up in one appalling clap as a grand finale. Then, turning to the awe-struck youth, she said : "I suppose you have heard something like that before?" "Yes; that's what the fellow with linen pants said when he sat down on the custard pie. The audience found himself alone, but he picked up his hat and sauntered out into the street, densely unconscious that he had said anything out of the way.? Galveston Neuis. Will You Take a Sheep??A valued friend and an old tarmer, about tne lime that the temperance reform was beginning to exert a healthful influence in the country, said to his newly hired man: "Jonathan, 1 did not think to mention to you, when I hired you, that I think of trying to do my work this year without rum. How much more must I give you to do without?" "O," said Jonathan, "I don't care much about it; you may give me what you please." "Well," said the farmer, "I will give you a sheep in the Fall, if you will do without." "Agreed," said Jonathan. The eldest sou then said : "Father, will you give me a sheep if I will do without rum ?" "Yes, Marshall, you shall have a sheep if you will do without." The youngest son, a stripling, then said? "Father, will you give me a sheep if I will do without ?" "Yes, Chandler, you shall have a sheep also, if you will do without." Presently Chandler spoke again: "" -I L - J-U L.n "r tuner, nuuu i yuu uenei a succp, ioo ?" A Boy's Essay on Dogs.?Last Summer our dog Towser was a lyiu' in the sun trine to sleep, but the flies was that bad that he couldn't, cos he had to catch 'em, and bime by a bee lit on his head, and was working about like the dog was hisn. Towser he held his head still, and when the bee was close to his nose, Towser wiuked at him like he said you see what this buffer is doin' he thinks I'm a lily of-the-valley which isn't opened yet, but you just wait till I blossom and you will see some fun, and sure enough Towser opened his mouth very slow so as not to frighten the bee, and the bee went iDto Towsers mouth. Then Towser he shut his mouth too, and had begun to make a peace ful smile wen the bee stung him and you never see a lily-of-the-valley ack so in your life. B&r At an auction sale of miscellaneous . goods, the auctioneer put up a wolf-skin dressing gown and invited bids. An old man inspected it closely, .seemed to thiuk that there was a bargain in it, but vet he hesitated to bid. "Dou't you want that?" asked the auctioneer. "Yes, kinder," was the reply. "Then why don't you bid and and take it ?" "Well, I've bought heaps o* thiDgs in dry goods and so on," slowly rejoined the old man, "and I never yet took home anything that the old woman thought wa3 worth the price. If I got that 'ere robo for a song, she'd grab it up, pull at one end, chaw at the other, and call out, 'Cheated again?rnore'n half cotton!' That's the reason I darn't bid!" Little Mary had listened attentively to the exhortations of the revivalist. "And is it true, mamma," she asked after getting home, "that I can't go to heaven unless I am born again ?" "Yes, darling, you must be boru again, as the good man said," replied the mother. Mary looked thoughtfully, but said nothing for some minutes. Finally drawing a long sigh, and with resignation pictured on her face, she said, "I am afraid I can't go to heaven." "Why, what do you mean ?" "I was thinking, mamma, that I a-unt Ia Kd a KoKv otrain tn ho fnofi. !

BQT Two children were engaged in a dispute as to the relative merits of their respective fathers. Finally one of them said, in atoueof triumph*: "Well, ray papa is the bravest, anyway, he 'listed in the war." ] "Huh, that's notiiin'," was the disdainful re- j joiuder: "my papa 'listed three times in one year, and got a bounty every time." jtetT The church was warm, the minister was dull, and everybody fell asleep except half-witte( j'amie. "My brethren," shouted j the indignant pastor, "you should take the example of that fool there. He keeps; awake." "Ay, ay, minister," said Jamie; "but if I hadn't been a fool, I would have been asleep like the ithers." One of the managers of a hospital asked an Irish nurse which he considered the most dangerous of the many cases then in hospital.

I wish to relate my experience in propagating apple trees from the seed: Some twelve years i ago, becoming somewhat discouraged in at-! tempting to secure fruit from purchased trees, : owing to their early death, I concluded to try ! the experiment of raising my own trees. The result has been exceedingly gratifying. A moderately rich piece of land, about two rods 1 square, was prepared for sowing the seed, by plowing it deep and fine, and laid out in rows, about three and one half feet apart. In these rows I sowed pomace from the cider mill, covering it about two inches deep. The following i Spring, the young trees appeared in profusion, i These I thinned out to six or eight inches, j leaving only strong, healthy shoots. The I ground was kept well cultivated and free from weeds, by the use of the cultivator and the hoe. The first season the trees made a growth of from twelve to fifteen inches. The second season the same method of cultivation was employed, and the trees made a thrifty growth, being in the Fall as large as clay-pipe stems at the base of stock. The following Spring I se cured tne services 01 an experieneea granei, and, with my assistance, tlie entire lot of trees was grafted in one day, by the method known as splice or lap grafting. A large per centage of the grafts grew, and after remaining two years in the nursery rows, receiving good cultivation in the meantime, they were transplanted in the orchard, without the loss of a single tree in transplanting. I now have just coming into bearing as fine and thrifty a young orchard as can be found in the county, beside supplying my neighbors with many trees, all of which are doing much better than trees from the nurseries, set out at the same time. Some of the advantages in raising one's own trees are the following : When young trees are brought from distant nurseries, they are, in the majority of instances, set out in soil of a nature entirely different from that in which they were raised?a circumstance which, combined with the difference in temperature and the delay which often occurs in resetting them, is, in my opinion, a prolific cause of the great amount of complaint we hear about purchased trees not doing well. On the other hand, trees raised in a soil and temperature like of the place where they will be transplanted, the roots not being allowed to dry and wither, "from long exposure to the air are acclimatized and consequently hardier and more certain to thrive. Again, it is far cheaper to raise one's own trees than to buy them. With a little care at the outset, and a few day's work each season, while they remain in the nurseries, five O flwmoon/1 nirm fraoO C*i111 }lA rfflSfffl UUUUlCll U1 <X IUU llOiillu 1I1VV 1>1VW vuil k/v with but little expense. In fact, the outlay will not approximate to what would have to be paid for the same number of trees, if bought, and the result will be far more pleasing?to the orchardist. It may be superfluous to add, in this article, what every tree grower already knows, that to make fruit growing a success, the trees must receive constant care and frequent cultivation, after the orchard is once established. I have no hesitation in saying that trees raised at home, and properly cared for, will abundantly pay for all ohe labor and exl>ense of raising them.?James E. McClellan, in the Rural iVeic Yorker. Cure For Dyspepsia.?Milk and limewater are now frequently prescribed by physicians in cases of dyspepsia and weakness of the stomach, and' some cases are said to prove beneficial. Many persons who think good bread and milk a great luxury, frequently hesitate to eat it, for the reasqn that milk will not digest readily; sourness of the stomach will often follow. But experience proves that lime-water and milk are not only food and medicine at an early period in life, but also, at a later, when, as in the case of infants, the functions of digestion and assimilation have been seriously impaired. A stomach taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper food, inflamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise unfitted for its duties?as is shown by the various symptoms attendant upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, dysentery and fovur?will roanrnp its wnrfc and (lo it eiierCet ically, 011 an exclusive diet of bread and milk and lime-water. A goblet of cow's milk may have four tablespoonfuls of lime water added to it with good effect. The way to make lime water is simply to procure a few lumps of unslaked lime, put the lime in a stone jar, add water until the lime is slaked and of about the consistency of thin cream ; the lime settles, leaving the pure and clear lime-water at the top. Great care should be taken not to get the lime water too strong. Keep to the directions as to the consistency, and when the water rises pour it off without obtaining any of the lime. The lime-water is also very good to apply to burns and scalds. In slaking the lime, particular attention should be taken that none of the particles fly into the eyes. Balky Horses.?The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals puts forth the following rules for the treatment of balky horses, which will bear reproduction : 1. Pat the horse upon the neck; examine the horse carefully, first on one side and then on the other, sneaking encouragingly while cU 'ng so, then jump into the wagon and give the word go ; generally he will obey. 2. A teamster in Maine says he can start the worst balky horse by taking him out of the shafts and making him go round in a circle till he is giddy. If the first dance of this sort doesn't cure him, the second will. 3. To cure a balky horse, simply place your hand over the horse's nose and shut off his wind till he wants to go, and then let him go. 4. The brain of the horse seems to entertain but one idea at a time; therefore continued whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve. If you can by any means give him a new subject to think of you will generally have no trouble in starting him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around the foreleg, just below the knee, tight enough for the horse to feel, and tie in a bowknot. At the first check he will go dancing off, and after going a short distance you can get out and remove the string to prevent injury to the tendon in your further drive. 5. Take the tail of the horse between the hind legs and tie it to the saddle girth. 6. Tie a string around the horse's ear close to his head. A Cheap Disinfectant.?At this season of the year disinfectants are not only needed in the gutters and sewers, but in a great many lots about the town. Indeed there are few that do not need them. In the New York Herald we find 'chloride of lead' recommended as the cheapest and most effective deodorizer and disinfectant known, and the recipe for its preparation is given: To prepare a solution of chloride of lead on a small scale for family use, take one eighth of an ounce of nitrate of lead and dissolve it in one quart of boiling water; then dissolve one ounce of common salt in five gallons of water, pour the two solutions together, and when settled, pour off the clear mixed solution and keep well corked in a demijohn or jug for use. A cloth wet with this and suspended in the room will neutralize all offensive vapors, and a | little dashed in a sink, drain or sewer will dis1 infect and destroy all noxious gasses by combining with them. It is said to be in general use in England for purifying sewers. Small Farms.?It is said that the large farms of the West bid fair not only to ruin the owners but k.:u the land, because they cannot be cultivated thoroughly. Dalrymple and other bonanza cultivators have failed. Small farms can l>e well tilled, and every part receive a proi>er share of attention. There are positive advantages in keeping the soil well stirred. Finely pulverized earth is one of the best absorbents. It absorbs and holds the water that is constantly evaporating from the ground in dry weather in a sufficient degree to supply the wants of vegetation, except in times of protracted drought. It also absorbs whatever fertilizing gasses come in contact with it. Cultivation also helps to warm the soil and so promote growth. It brings up 1 the cool sub soil and replaces it with surface soil which is warmed by the sun. It also pul- j verizes the clods, which is of great benefit to i the growing plants. Cultivation also helps to pulverize the manure and mix it up with ; the soil. I correspondent of the Ohio Farmer,! speaking of breaking colts, says: "Driving i hoises begins with the colt, and as he is broken | that is the kind of a horse he will make. If J he is broke in a slouch that is the kind of a ; horse he will be. It is just as easy to break a j colt right as any other way. Some are in too j big a hurry. They will take a green colt, hitch him up and spend as much time in fooling around him as it would take to break him as it j should be. My idea is to have the colt thoroughly broke before you attempt to hitch him j up ; that is, get him so he is not afraid of the harness; so he will stop when you tell him j to." 1 HUswllaueous fUadittg. SOMETHING ABOUT SHOES. Shoes as articles of apparel are undoubtedly of great antiquity, and have in all times been worn in some form or other by the people of civilized countries. The practice of shoe and sandal wearing can be traced back for some thousands of years, and is probably of Eastern origin. Thus we find frequent mention of the shoe in the Bible, from the book of Exodus to the Acts. The well-known injunction to the Israelites as to how they were to eat the Passover may be mentioned as an early instance where shoes are referred to, though we have before this, in the account of Moses and the burning bush, au earlier reference, giving an antiquity of over three thousand years to the shoe. There is, however, mention made of a shoe latchet as early as the time of Abraham. The reader who refers to Cruden will find evidence there of the frequent mention of the shoe in Scripture. Among the ancient Hebrews, shoes were made of leather, rushes, or wool, those of the soldiers being sometimes of brass or iron, tied wiih thongs passed under the feet. The ancient Greeks wore various kinds of shoes, the women of distinction wearing sandals, ? .1 . T 1 ; ; ?t aua tne juaceuiemonians wearing icu ouueo. Shoes among the Greeks were made so high as to reach generally to the middle of the leg, and were often of gold and silk and other precious stufTs, The Egyptians made their shoes of papyrus or palm leaves. Coming to the times of the Romans, we find shoe making assuming something of the nature of an art. The Romans wore two kinds of shoes?the calceus, covering the whole foot, not unlike our modern fashion, and the sandal or slipper, covering only the sole of the foot. These were often sumo*"-. ously ornamented, Caligula having his efrficfv ed with preciousj3toa?8r-Nero his" 8]10(j wjth siJs.ec,-tUld-iTrs""empress, Poppaea, hers with gold. Some remarkable examples of Roman shoes were found in a tomb at Southfleet, in Kent, in 1802. They were of purple leather reticulated in hexagonal designs of beautiful | workmanship, each hexagonal division being worked in gold. Indeed, the Romans seem altogether to have been liberal patrons of the followers of St. Crispin, for the streets of the imperial city in the time of Domitian were | so blocked up with cobblers' stalls that he caused then) to be removed. In England, the fashion of wearing shoes can be traced back to the earliest times.? According to Meyrick, the shoes worn by the Belgic Britons were made of raw cowhide that had the hair turned outward, and coming up to the ankles. A great beau of the time of William Rufus, called Robert the Horned, wore shoes, with long sharp points, stuffed with tow, and twisted in a spiral form. This fashion took the fancy of the people of that day immensely, aud the points went on increasing yearly to the reign of Richard the Second, when they had to he tied to the knees of the wearer to save him from being encumbered in walking. This tying or fastening in the case of gentlemen was by chains of silver or silver gilt. In Chaucer's time the upper part of these shoes was cut to imitate a church wiudow. The rank of the wearer in those days was known by the length of his poulaines. "The men," says Paradin, "wore them with a point before, half a foot long; the richer and more eminent personages wore them a foot, and princes two feet long." By au act of the reign of Edward the Fourth, the absurd length to which these points had attained was limited nnd nn nnft under the rank of a lord was to wear shoes more than ten inches long, nd all cobblers making them were to be fined, and cursed by the clergy. Shoes, more or less ornamental, appear to have continued in togue among Englishmen down to a very late period. Perhaps the most splendid pair of shoes we read of is that worn by Sir Walter Raleigh on great court occasions. They were of buff leather, so gorgeously covered with precious stones as to have exceeded in value the sum of six thousand six hundred pounds. Our present style of shoe was introduced in 1633, but buckles were not used till 1660. High heels were fashionable in three reigns previous to that of Queen Victoria, those of Charles the Second, James the Second, and William and Mary. The man of fashion in 1720 wore his shoes square at the toes, with diminutive diamond buckles, a monstrous flap ou the instep, aud high heels. "Red heels to his shoes" is one of the directions for making a beau in 1727 ; and Gay, in his "Trivia,'' thus sati- j rizes the fashion: "At every step he dreads the wall to lose, * ' ' ?- U! 1 ?> auu nsKs, h) save aeuaeu, ins rou-uceicu smros, A Sketch of Dr. Tanner.?Dr. Henry S. Tanner is a native of Tuubridge Wells, England, and is about forty-nine years of age. He was about sixteen years old when he came to this country. He married when he was twenty-three, when working at his trade of carriage-maker in Ohio. His wife assisted him to start and manage a fruit store, and afterwards stimulated his ambition to study medicine. She studied with him, and they graduated together at the Cincinnati Eclectic Medical Iustitute. They practiced together at two or three places in Ohio, and in one town were proprietors of electro thermal baths. Finally her health failed, and she went to Duluth to recruit. Shestill practiced and supported herself, but he followed after a while. She led in the next move, too, which took them to Hudson, Wis. There they lived until a separation three years ago. The separation was amicable,, but accounts differ as to the cause. The Doctor's friends say it was because she was active, energetic, independent, ambitious of acquiring wealth and professional distinction, while he was phlegmatic aud indifferent. Whatever the cause, the separation took place in 1877. Tanner has for the past three years been practicing medicine in Minneapolis. Recently he has given his time almost entirely to research and correspondence on the subject of long-continued abstinence from food. An unusual tendency to accumulate fat when his appetite was given unrestrained sway first led him to limit his diet, by which means he re duced himself from 200 to 160 pounds, and those who are familiar with his habits assert that he eats scarcely enough in twenty-four hours to make one ordinary sized meal. It has long been a hobby of Tanner's that abstinence from food was the surest remedy for bodily ailments, and in his own case he has I regularly practiced it, often pursuiug a policy of this kind for twelve days. On one occasion in Minneapolis he is said to have abstained from food for forty-two days, under the surveillauce of Dr. J. Mayer, who has no i doubt that he honestly lived without food ! during that time. Raiskd His Salary.?A few days ago,j during oue of his rounds through his palatial hotel, the landlord of the Palmer House, entered a room suddenly and discovered a window washer leisurely engaged in reading a newspaper. Being very active himself he j had no use for a lazy man, or one who slights I his work. He discharged the washer on the spot and ordered him to go to the office for his pay. The mau obeyed, got his money, j went to his room on the upper floor, arrayed himself in his Sunday suit, packed up his duds and descended to the servants' apartment to take leave of his former associates. Abut this time Mr. Palmer entered, but did not recognize his quondam employ^ in his store clothes. "Here, my man, you look as ! though there was good work in you ; do you : want a job?" The ex-washer, somewhat surprised, admitted that he stood in need of one. ' "Can you wash the windows ?" The man allowed that he could. "Well," said Mr.' Palmer, "I've just discharged a man who has been doing that sort of work. I paid him i 820 a month, but if you take the place and go right to work I'll pay yon 822." The proposition was quietly accepted, and in half an hour the discharged employ^ was scrubbing away in the same old room. i |Uadiag far th jlabktlt. ' CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.} GOD'S ATTRIBUTES. By attribute we understand a property which is inherently in a person or thing, and is essential to the existence of that person or thing. Thus we say form is an attribute of matter, because we cannot conceive of matter existing without some form. Whatever is necessary to the existence of a person or thing, is an attrib- j ute of that person or thing. It is manifest i that the attributes of matter are not the same as those of mind. It is the difference of attributes that enables us to distinguish between mind and matter. Some of the attributes of mind are the same, in some respects, as the at- J tributes of matter; but both mind and matter i have peculiar attributes. Mind has no form, one of the attributes of matter ; and matter is destitute of the power to think, one of the attributes of mind. It 7 ] will also appear on a moment's reflection, that j a maker has some attributes which the thing ] made does not possess. God being the maker of all things, has some attributes which are < possessed by none of his creatures. All the I creatures of God possess, to a limited extent, , some of his attributes; but there is inherent- i ly in God some essential properties which are found in none of the creatures of his hands. The attributes of God are, with, at least seeming propriety, divided into communicable and incommunicable attributes. Under the first division may be mentioned knowledge, goodness and justice. The incommunicable ' attributes of God are "self-existencg^flfeb- ( lute eternity, immensity-4VftdH^niutability." 1 Knowigdg^-goodneSs^aiul justice are said to , W communicable attributes of God, because he has bestowed these inherent properties upon, some of his creatures. Thus, angels and men possess some knowledge, and there is in their natures something that at least resembles goodness and justice. Of no creature, however, can it be said that it is self-existent, or that it never had a beginning, or that it is without limit, or that it is immutable. The want of these communicable attributes is the peculiar characteristics of all creatures of every order. Angels, which are pure spirits, as well as the most insignificant worm, had a beginning. Their existence may reach forward through an eternity to come, but it does not extend backward through an eternity past. Neither can it lie said of any creature that it is either self-existent, or created itself. The definition of the word creature forbids this. Whatever was created had a beginning and a creator. Neither can any creature be everywhere present at the same time. There is a certain place where it is, and from every other place it is absent. Mutability is one of the characteristics of everything iff the universe, except God himself. lie alone is from all mutation free. One of the noticeable features of the attributes of God is that they are all perfect. The attributes of all creatures are defective. Whatever greatness may belong to any creature it is still finite and imperfect. God is infinite and incomprehensible. A creature may be possessed of every attribute which is necessary to render it capable of enjoying all the blessings i and discharging all the duties of its station. This, however, falls far short of absolute per- ! fection. Some of God's creatures know some i things, but only in part. God knows all tilings perfectly. His knowledge extends from a never-beginning etemity through an eternity which will never come to an end. With all creatures there is a past, present and future, but with God it is and always lias been and always will be an eternal present. With God a thousand years are as one day, and one day as a thousand years. I It is the perfection of God's attributes that exalts him far abuv^the conceptions of men or angels. The eternity of God is sufficient of i itself to incite, in the breast of every intelli- 1 gent creature in the universe, the profoundest reverence. No wonder the Seraphim cover themselves with their wines and erv unto each other, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts." The evidences of God's Omnii>otence are everywhere. Everything is under his control. God is king. He reigns over all things. Before him his willing subjects reverently bow i and those who rebel against him tremble and quake when his ire is kindled but a little. f Original.] CHARITY. The three graces, which, in the economy of salvation, take the lead, are faith, hope and charity. Of these, the Apostle Paul is bold to assert that charity is the greatest. Faith is that gift of the spirit by which we are enabled to believe God and accept of the Saviour which he offers us in the gospel. Hope is ' 'a firm persuasion of obtaining some future good." Faith directs the prayer to God through Christ, and hope looks up and expects, in due time, an answer to that prayer. What is charity V It must be a most marvelous grace which can, with propriety and truth, be said to be greater than either faith or hope. The word which Paul uses, and which is rendered in the English translation of the Scriptures, Charity, literally means "love." Some persons suppose the word charity to be synonymous with the word liberality. It is true that the origin of Christian liberality is charity, but there may be great, even prodigal liberality, where there is no charity. Liberality may exist in such strength as to lead its possessor to l>estow all his goods to feed the poor, and give his body to be burned, and that same individual may be destitute of charity. Whoever will read the 13th chapter of Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians, will be convinced that by charity is meant love. Love to God and love to man is the fulfilling of the Whole law of God. Whoever loves God with 1 all his heart, with all his soul, with all his i strength, and with all his mind, and also loves 1 his neighbor as himself, does all that God's , law requires of him. This is what Paul means by charity. Evidently, it is greaterthan either 1 faith or hoper. In fact, without love to God and man there can be neither faith nor hope in any man's bosom ; but with love, warm and glowing, all the other graces of the spirit are in lively and vigorous exercise. ijgr* An anecdote is told of Rowland Hill, that after preaching a sermon to prove that it was impossible for any man to fall away from grace, he leaned over the pulpit and said, "I should not recommend any of you to try it." Let us take care how we speak of those who have fallen on life's field. Help them up, not heap scorn upon them. We did not see the conflict. We do not know the scars. t@T The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act and you reap habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny. iggr The work that is to tell in heaven must be that which is done on purpose for heaven, i The work that is done for earth goes down ? with us to the grave. eg" When the Spanish proverb says, "There is no such thing as a trifle in the world," it speaks a most profound truth. Nothing can be little, whose consequences are great; and the lightest word or deed records itself in life and character. t Ibe IJorbville Hhquim.
