"De comin' man hasn't come yet," said Brother Gardner, as he looked Giveadam Jones square in the eye and motioned to Elder Toots to draw in his feet and let the heat of the stove have a chance to circulate around the hall. "No, gem'len, de comin' man hasn't arrove in dis kentry yet, an' if de rheumatics keeps on boderin' me I can't expect to be on ajrth when he gets heah, an' take him by de han' an' tell him how powerful glad I is to see him. But some ofour chifi'en may lib to see him, an' dar will l>c sich a celebrashun as no Fo'th of July kin hold a candle to. "I)e comin' man, my friends, will go to Congress unpledged an' come home unbribed an' wiaout fear of meetin' de people who sent him dar. "De comin' man will be 'lected State, County or City Treasurer, an' when his term has expired his hooks will balance an' his accounts will be souar' to a cent. "De comin' man will nave a reverence fur (le Constitutshun of de Union, an' a respect fur de laws of his own State. "De comin' man will look sternly upon embezzlement, bribery an' all sorts of fraud, an' he will take a square stand upon an honest polytical platform. "If de comin' man should happen to be 'elected to de Common Council de people of dat city would h'ar such a rattlin' and shakin'of dry bones dat de music of ten brass bands couldn't drown de noise. "As I menshuned befo' de comin' man hasn't got hear yet, an' when I pick up de daily paper and scan de daily record of crime I can't help but feel dat de hero will timl sich a job laid out fur him that he will go down into his butes an' nebber be seen nor heard from again. "While I don't want to occupy de waluable time of dis meetin' ober an hour an' a half furder I feel it my dooty to remark dat dis Lime-Kiln Club isn't gwine to wait fur any comin' man to come. De Committee on Finance am gwine fo look into our lodge safe once a week all freu de y'ar, an if de money doan' tally wid the Secretary's figgersa cyclone will begin to circle. While de Janitor of dis club am only allowed to handle seventeen cents per week, de fust time he makes seven an' live count up thirteen he will be missed from his accustomed paths. "While dar am naturally a fraternal feelin' in a lodge of dis sort, dat feelin' must chop squar' off when a brudder member am seen promenading down to de stashun in company wid a purleeceman. Love one another, but return borrowed money exactly when you promise. Stan' by a member in distress, but let him know dat as soon as lie gits well lie will be expected to aim his own meat an' tatersan' flaii-wood. Anticipate a reduckshun in house rent, but (loan' move out in de night owin' de landlord back rent. Be obleeging', but when a man returns your coffee-mill minus de handle an' boaf cog wheels doan' fail to drap a hint dat it would be less trubble fur him to drink tea or pound his coffee in a rag. Let us now embarrass de reg'lar order of bizness." Shocking Advick.?A prominent Detroiter, who has the reputation of knowing all about horses, was coming down Woodward avenue, theotherday, when a stranger halting him, inquired if he was Mr. So and So, and added: "I have walked seven miles this morning to secure your advice. will you go to the harness-shop with me?" The citizen turned back and walked three blocks to the shop. The stranger .then showed liini two horse-brushes and stud : "This brush is twenty cents and that one two shillings. Which one would you advise me to purchase?" "I'd take the dearer," replied the disgusted adviser. "Did you bring me here simply to settle that question ?" "Oh, no. Iliad already about made up my mind to get a brush with a landscape painted on the back. Now about my currycombs. The object of a currycomb is to agitate a horse, I suppose, but what particular style do you advise? Here are both red and blue handled currycombs, and 1 will be guided l?y what you say." "Did you ever own a horse?" asked the citizen. "Mercy, no!" "Do vou own one now?" "Why, no!" "Then what in flaxation do you want of those things?" "Well that's another matter on which I wanted your valuable advice. Isn't it lK*tter to buy a brush and currycomb in the winter aiid then buy the horse in the spring, or would you buy all at once?" "You'd better buy a saw horse!" remarked the indignant citizen as he walked off. "Just see that!" gasped the man who had walked seven miles. "I was intending after we got through to ask him to take a glass of beer, and he walks off as if he took me for a dead-beat! What other man in Detroit knows all about horses?" l.twii' AT i t .it ri"r i. i.* wik S.\\f.?miv "Pa," said the licv. Mulkittle's iittle son, "Samson was a strong man, wasn't lie?" "Samson was the strongest man that ever lived." "Tell me about him." "It was intended that Samson should be the strongest man before he wits horn?" The bewildered expression on the child's face arrested the minister in his narration. "Before he was horn?" asked the hoy. "Yes; hefore?that is before he was found in the hollow stump." "Just like me and sister." "Yes, just before he was found, an angel appeared and foretold of his strength, saying that no razor must touch his head." "Was the angel afraid the razor would cut him?" "No; the angel meant that his strength lay in his hair and that his hair must not lie cut off." "If I let my hair grow long can I lift more than I can now?" "I don't know about that." "Are women stronger than men?" "No." "But they have longer hair. A woman couldn't whip you, could she?" "No, not easily." Was Samson a Democrat?" "1 guess." "But why don't you know? I'd know if I was as old as you. How many was it that Samson killed?" "One thousand." "lie was bad; wasn't he!" "No." "But when a man kills anybody he's had?" "The Lord was with Samson." "But the i-ord says you musn't kill anybody. Did Samson go to Heaven?" I suppose so." He is the strongest angel there isn't he?" "You are getting foolish again." "But I want to know. Will you know Samson when you go to Heaven?" "I suppose so." "But you won't fool round him, will you? If he was to hit you he'd break your wings, wouldn't he?" "Go to your mother. The next time you attempt to question me about j the Bible I shall whip you." Thk Pkikst and a JI kuktic.?Father O'Rafferty, an Austin clergyman, met Mike | Sullivan the other day, and during the con- I versation Father ()' Itafferty said : "blister Sullivan, how is it that ye/, being an Oirishman yezdo not belong to the howly Catholic Church ?" "Because I lost all confidence in the howly church twinty years ago, sor." * "And how did you come to lose all confidence in the howly church ?" "I'll tell ye/, how it was, Father()'Buffer- ! ty. Me youngest brother was married to a j hirltic, bnt in the howly church bvapraste. ! It was a mixed marriage, as it is called. Well, sor, the pruste made me brother j promise that all the children should be brought up in the Catholic faith." "And how did that cause ye/, to lose faith in the infallible church?" "Bedad, sor, they have been married now, j sor, more than twinty years, and divil a j kid have they got y it, sor." "Misther Sullivan," said the priest sol-, emnly, "it would have been betther for yer j sowl if yer lather, instead 01 yer oroiner hud married a liiritic." Tiie priest had him there. Occidental Coi'rtksiks.?A Leadville j man traveling in the (Junnison country met a stranger in the lower part of the trail. "Hallo!" said the Leadville man. "Hallo !" was the rather surly reply. Then the Leadville man reached around to his hip pocket to get a bottle of whisky as a kind of a modifier. The stranger promptly shot at him, putting a bullet through the i lieadville man's hat. "All right,"said the latter, digging spurs into his broncho, "if that's the way you feel about it we'll just drop the acquaintance I right here. 1 never try to force hiyselfon a man."?

The colt is born with four grinders, and when the four front teeth have made their . appearance, it is twelve days old. When 1 j the next four come it is four weeks old. ! When the corner teeth appear the animal < ; is eight months old. When the latter have ] ! attained to the height of the front teeth , it is one year old. The two-year-old colt ( j has the kernel (the substance 111 middle of : the tooth's crown) grown out in all the front 1 i teeth, in the third year the middle front s teeth are shifting, and when three years old ' these are substituted by the horse teeth. The next four teeth are shifted in the fourth , year, and the corner teeth in the tifrh. At six years the kernel is worn out of the low- ' middle front teeth, and the bridle teeth < have now attained to their full growth. At < seven years a hook has been formed in the I corner teeth of the upper jaw, the kernel j of the next at the middle is worn out and the bridle teeth begin to wear oil'. At eight years the kernel is worn out of the ' lower front teeth, and begins to decrease in tlii? middle tinner front. In the ninth I year the kernel lias wholly disappeared i | from the upper middle front teeth, the hook | 011 the corner has increased in size, and the . | bridle teeth lose their points In the tenth year the kernel is worn out the teeth next 1 to the middle front of the upper jaw, and in the eleventh year the kernel has cuti rely 1 vanished from the corner teeth of the same ] jaw. At twelve years old the crown of all the front teeth in the lower jaw has become 1 triangular, and the bridle teeth are much ' worn down. As the horse advances in age ' the gums shrink away from the teeth, 4 which consequently receives a long, narrow ( appearance, and the kernels become dark- . ish points. Gray increases in the forehead and over the eyes, and the chin assumes the form of an angle.?Xebra.ska Farmer. ' A Plack fok thk Tools.?When not in t use every tool used 011 the farm or in the i garden, should have a place for safe keeping. ; A well-to-do farmer can afford to have a , house especially for the tools. Hut the lack of a tool-house does not prevent the farmer ( from having some suitable place for storing ' his implements. The sides of a carriage- I house may be arranged so that a large num- > ber of the small tools can be put away in . good shape. Not long ago, the writer was , in a farm buildinir where the whole under side of the roof was devoted to the storage of implements, llere were grain cradles, > scythes, and various rakes, forks, hoes, etc., i hung upon bars and pins, in a safe and satis- , factory way. Racks for holding implements ( can he put in between the studs of a build- . ing, and above these, shelvesshould be made for holding various articles, such as baskets, ' tubs, etc., that take much space. The time I of year for fitting up the tool-room is at | hand. With the implementsin good work- ( ing order, and stored so as to be within quick , reach, the farmer is forearmed for his work, that comes so much in a heap at the opening ' of spring.?American Agriculturist. , Ax Acre ok Clover.?In two and a half \ tons of clover hay, or in an acre of clover ( sod of corresponding quantity, there will ; be, both for grain and straw, enough phosphoric acid for a crop of thirty-four bushels, of combined nitrogen for seventy-one bush- * els, of potash for 102 bushels, of magnesia for 120 bushels, and of lime for 270 bushels, i In other words, the clover hay or sod con- ( tains enough phosphoric acid for more than , double an average crop, enough nitrogen for more than four average crops, and potash 1 for more than six average crops of wheat. ' With such figures before you, do you won- J der that farmers are surprised at the large ( crops they can raise on clover sod ? You see also why lands in rotation with clover can endure the heavy tax of two crops of wheat J in succession without a complete exhaus- 1 tion. Rut when a body of clover is plowed t in with sod, we reach results that round out that figure of Oriental magnificence: "The { pastures are clothed with flocks, the valleys , also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, and they a Iso sing."?Professor Jieat. ' ? ADr rabtjE Whitewash.?A correspon- < dent of the Scientific American gives the fol- t lowing directions for a good wash: For one barrel of color wash, half a bushel of white ( lime, three pecks hydraulic cement, ten pounds umber, ten pounds ochre, one pound ; Venitian red, quarter pound lamp-black. 1 Slack the lime; cut the lamp-black with t vinegar; mix well together, add the cement, i and till the barrel with water. Let it stand j twelve hours before using, and stir frequently while putting it on. This is not white, 1 but of a light stone color, without the un- 1 pleasant glare of white. The color may be changed by adding more or less of the colors I named, or other colors. This wash covers n well, needing only one coat, and is superior . to anything known, excepting oil paint. 1 . have known a rough board barn washed with . this to look well for tive years, and even 1 longer, without renewing. The cement ( hardens, but on a rough surface will not i scale. Seed Cokx.?F. 1). Curtis writes as fol- ^ lows to the Country Gentleman concerning * seed corn : A friend undertook a few years i ago to improve bis corn crop by plantingnll n kinds mixed together, lie confessed that this plan was a failure, as lie got no improved variety, but a mixed up lot, just what the . offspring would be from a mongrel^ sire, il- 1 lustrating still further the similarity in the * nature (breeding) of corn and animals. A i great many farmers comfort themselves with the notion that if they change seed with ^ some other farmer they are doing a bigthing. This is a mistaken idea. Seed should be 1 improved and taken from the farm where H it is grown, and to which it has adapted it- ? self. At home is the place for improve- <: ment. The idea that the little germ of a ! seed can carry the good qualities of a good . farm with it is ridiculous, but it can carry with it jiecnliarities in its nature (growth 51 and maturity) acquired in one place, which will be unsuited to another ; hence, reader, C improve the seed on your own land. i ^ I ( )X S VST KM A TIC I IOl'SKK EEl'IXfi.?1There f would ho more orderly homes if all house- ^ keepers would have a regular plan for eaeli day's work ; .or "there is nothing like method and regularity to lighten labor." e If J could sneak with our younghousekeep- () ers, I would say to them, "Secure a few mo- ,, meats every evening to think over and ar- . range the necessary labor of the morrow. Bring before your mind just what ought to be done, and tlx the mode and time for do- t ing it distinctly.

[Originnl-l CHRIST THE KING. Since Jesus Christ is (Jod, he is necessarily the Supreme sovereign of the universe. In the economy of grace, however, he exercises regal dominion over all things in a higher sense than he doesas the maker of all things. By virtue of his nature, he rules >ver all things as an absolute sovereigu, but 1 - - - ?" 1. I . . " .V, r*r\ r, . /M1..T/1. Vl ft JIl'A.l.i liyvirwur Ul III> oiurcn.^ icuri'iiu'i, JIC i sceptre of universal dominion as tin* .Saviour of sinners. We are not to conclude that the Son of Sod, on becoming the redeemer of Ids people, gave up his natural supremacy over his reatures, or that he ceased to be God over ill blessed forever. Such was not the case, >ut to his supremacy as Creator, he added that of Redeemer. As the Saviour of sinners, Jesus Christ exercises kindly authority over all things. It is not simply dominion that he exercises, >ut dominion exercised "to the intent that low unto the principalities and powers in leavenly places might he known, by the t'hureh, the manifold wisdom of God." Kp. ;i: 10. To save his people from their nns, Jesus Christ came into the world, God Manifest in the flesh; for the salvation of lis people Ik? lived and died, and for his >eople he exercises supreme dominion over ill things in heaven and in earth. We are old in the Scriptures that, God the Father, 'set him at his own right hand, in the heavenly places, far above all principality and lower, and might and dominion, and every lame that is named, not only in this world, ?ut in that which is to oome; andliath put ill things under his feet, and gave him to be he head of all things to the Church, which s his body, the fulness of him that tilleth ill in all." Kp. 1:20?2;}. During the pe iod of Jesus Christ's humiliation, the regal lominion which he possessed as one with lie father, was, for the time, veiled. In the inguage of the Scriptures, "he made himself of no reputation, literally emptied himi?lf, and took the form of a servant." Will. >!?. Having* as God-man, accomplished the vork which his Father gave him to do on ?arth, he ascended to heaven in his assumed nituremand, the yeii-}vt>ich had been spread >ver his divinity, during the period of his lumility, was removed, and he wasdeclared >y the Father to he "head over all things to he church." The words "head over all Jiings to the ('hurch," gi ve us a clear and distinct notion of the extent and nature of Jhrist's kingly authority. It is over all hings, or it embraces all things,both in this vorld and that which is to come, and is exercised for the Church. With strict propriety ,ve may say that the kingdom of Christ is the Jhurch. The church and the kingdom of 'hristareconvertibleterms. Both mean the mine thing, are equally extensive and subject o the same restrictions. The word Church is k'ripturally defined when it is said to be tlio iVhole body of those who believe in Jesus Jhrist. The visible Church is made up of hose who profess the true religion. We nay speak of the Church as here on earth mttling with the devil, world and flesh, or is in heaven enjoying the bliss of a Saviour's >resenee. In its Scriptural sense, the word Jhurch denotes till those of Adam's Eace aiisoined by the atoning blood of Jesus 1hrist. These are called in the Scriptures ; te "body of Christ." Ep. 1:2-1 These onstitute the mediatorial kingdom of Jesus Jhrist proper, but for the promotion of their velfare, he exercises universal dominion >ver all things. In the language of the Psalmist, the kingdom of Jesus is without uul. It is everlasting in duration and ininite in extent. It is the peculiar prerogative of Jesus Jhrist, as mediator, to cause all things "to ,vork together for good to them who love jod, to them who are the called according o his purpose." llom. 8:28. The dominon of Jesus Christ, theGod-man, mediator, s over all things in the universe. "All lower," hennnouneesto the world "isgiven into me in heaven and in earth." Matthew 18:18. InPs. 8:0, it is said'that God the Father, made him to have dominion over ill the works of his hands, and that he put ill things under his feet. From other Scripures we learn that nothing in the universe s exempt from the dominion of Jesus Jhrist "except hiln which did put all. things inder him." I. Cor. 15:27. It would be impossible to select language vhich would more fully and more precisely ussert the absolute and unrestricted (lomilion of Jesus Christ overall things in heaven md earth, t^uui that; which is used in the scriptures of the Old and Xew Testaments. In addition to this kingdom of power, as t is called, which God the Father has beitowed upon Jesus Christ his Son, the Godnan mediator, was given a kingdom of rrnce. Thatthewratlrof the wicked might >e made to praise him who is above every lame, and the remainder of that wrath retrained, all power in heaven and earth was riven him. In consequence of this omnip tenee he laughs at the counsels of his enenies and has them and their power in deri ion. "Kings of the earth may set themelves, and rulers take counsel together, gainst him and Jus oouy, wnicn is me Ihurch," but lie will, in his own time and 11 his own way, "break them with a rod of roil." They shall be slain all of then 1; hey shall he as a bowing wall, and as a totering fence. . ...... .... .. ... Tn the kingdom of grace, Jesus- Christ exrcises his kingly power in reigning in and ver his people. As a king, in the use of ueans of his own appointing, he convicts lis people of their sins, and translates them rom the kingdom of darkness and brings hem into the kingdom of light and liberty. Ls a king, Jesus Christ is the lawgiver of lie Church, and for the administration of is laws, he appoints officers. All the laws f the Church are contained in the Bible, nd all the officers which Christ has appointd in thoChurch,are simply administrative ffieers. With the strictest propriety, and ;ith absolute truthfulness rhe Bible may be j idled the law book of the Church. In it very duty is commanded, and every sin is irbidden. The opposite of whatever is ummanded is forhiddenand is sin; and the pposite of whatever is forbidden is com landed and is duty. Tins principle is one j f universal application. It must lie applied 1 regulatingourthoaghts, words and deeds, is subjects of the kingdom of grace, our hole duty is discharged by obeying the miniands of the king. What the king miniands is right, and what he forbids or oes not command is wrong. All the great legal principles by which esus Christ governs the kingdom of grace re embraced in the ten commandments, i hese ar^so short that a youth of ordinary j lental powers may commit them to memo- \ r in less than a single day, and yet they j ive us a clearer notion of equity and right? < r our duty to God and our duty to man? inn all the enactments of legislators, and pinions of judges since the world began,! o. The law jpf. the Uifd-is perfect. It is ' nth a rule of duty and a converter of the cart. j. The officers of the Church are among the tension gifts of Jesus Christ. When he .] tended up on high, he led captivity cap- j 1 ve, and gave gifts to men. Hegavesome, 1 poslles; and some, prophets; and some, I evangel!sis; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Ep. 4. At the final consummation of all things, Jesus Christ, as king, shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of tfce arch-angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first." I. Thes. 4:10. The descriptions of the second coming of Jesus Christ are incomparably grand. The elements will melt with fervent heat, indescribable joy will fill the minds of the resurrected righteous, and agonizing grief and anguish take hold on the wicked. The demons of despair will utter a malignant wail which will echo and re-echo through the pit of woe. That will be the day of days, when in obedience to the command of king Jesus, the arch-angel shall proclaim intones so loud that the.V shall waken the sleeping dead: "The world is on tire! Jesus Christ iscometo judge the world in righteousness."
