Humorous JJejrartraent. i THE POWER OF LOYE. "While on their way home from a mite so- < eiety the other night, old neighbor Wickle < and wife became somewhat displeased. ] "I am not going with you any more, Sam- , uel," said Mrs. Wickle. "You are too old a man to cut up the way you did to-night. ' The idea of any old man who has the rheu- 1 matism so bad that he can't put his socks ou 1 mornings, going to a mite meeting and cav- j orting and romping as you have done to- < night. I say it's a shame." "I may have rheumatism," said the old , man, "but I haven'tgot dyspepsia. I don't 1 growl and snap at everybody. You have 1 been growing worse for the last ten years. 1 If you didn't have me to pick at I believe ] . you would die." , "I won't walk with a man that acts like a rhinoceros." "How does a rhinoceros act ?" asked the \ old man, thinking that he would catch her j on natural history. i "Acts like a fool, that's how he acts," and Mrs. Wickle walked rapidly away, leaving the old man several paces behind. He finally caught up just us a young man came walking along. "You are walking pretty fast," said the old gentleman. His wife didn't say auything. "It's clouding up," he remarked, "it must Ingoing to rain." The old lady made no reply, but the young man took in the situation." "You are a villain!" he exclaimed addressing Mr. Wickle. "What do you mean by attempting to thrust your company upon a lady who does not want you ? It is becoming to be too frequent for ladies to be insulted on the streets by loafers. Get back." The man struck sit Wickle. The old lady clubbed her umbrella, aud exclaiming, "that is my husband," gave the young man a very undignified blow. The old man, encouraged by his wife's | strike for the union, jumped on the young i man and held him while the rattling ribs of the umbrella fell on the youth's head with a i sound like the falling of hail-stones. "Samuel, no one can break up our do- < mestic felicitv," said his wife, after the bat- , tie. "No sir," said the old man. "When a man tries to destroy the domestic happiness , of my household he catches my consolidated , power of wrath." The Life of Maw?Man, born of wo- < man, is of a few days and no teeth. And, indeed, it would be money in his pocket i sometimes if he had less of either. As for i his days, he wasteth one third of them, and ' as for his teeth he has convulsions when he i cuts them, and as the last one comes through, i lo, the dentist is twisting the first one out, ' and the last end of a man's jaw is worse than the first, being full of porcelain and a : roof-plate built to hold blackberry seeds. i Stone bruises line his pathway to manhood ; his father boxes his ears at home, the : big boys cuff him in the play ground and j the teacher whips him in the school room. : He buyeth Northwestern at 110, when he hath sold short at 96, and his neighbor un- i loadeth upon him Iron Mountain at 63|, and 5+ e+TojorVi+ivair KranHmvn to f>2V. He riseth early and sitteth up late that he may fill his barns and storehouses, and lo! his children's lawyers divide tfie spoil among ; themselves and say, "Ha, ha!" He growleth and is sore distressed because it raineth, i and he beiiteth upon his breast and sayeth, "My crop is lost!" because it raineth not. The late rains blight his wheat and the frost biteth his peacnes. If it be so that the sun shineth among the nineties; he sayeth, "Woe is me, for I perish," and if the northwest wind singeth down in forty-two below, he crieth, "Would I were dead!" If he wear sack-cloth and blue jeans men say, "He is a,,tramp," and if he goeth forth , shaven and clad in purple and fine linen all the people cry, "Shoot the dude!" He carryeth insurance for twenty-five years, until he hath paid twice over for all his goods, then he letteth his policy lapse one day, and that same night fire destroyeth , his store. He buildeth him a house in Jersey, and his first born is devoured by mosquitoes; he pitcheth his tents in New York, and tramps devour his substance. He moveth to Kansas and a cyclone carryeth his house away over into Missouri, while a nrairie fire and ten million acres of grasshoppers fight for his crop. He settleth himself in Kentucky and is shot the next day by a gentleman, a Colonel and a statesman, "because, sah, he resembles a man he did not like, sah," Verily there is 110 rest for the sole of his foot, and if he had it to do over again he would not be born at all, for "the day of death is better than the day of one's birth."?Burdette. How to Make 10 Cents go Further than $1.00.?A young man with a nose like a razor and an eye that would have raised a blister on sheet-iron on a hot day, *- --1 j? niuieu npeucsinaii uu uium/iavmuc, anu stated that he was trying to raise money to reach the bedside of his dying sister in Chicago. He was too proud* to Beg, but if the citizen, would give nim a quarter he would show him a trick worth $5. "Vhat is dot driek?" queried the citizen. "It is to make 10 cents go further than a dollar. You can play it on the boys and make $10 a day." "My friendt, I nefer plays mit der poys." ' "Yes, but you can have lots of fun you know." "I was no handt for fun. If I ever git off some shokes I never laff." "Yes, but this is something new. When you come down to the grocery of an evening you " "I doan come down. I vash home on der stheps all der efenings." "But you could have a little fun with your neighbors." "I told you I vash not a funny man. I , likes to schmoke and read der mornintr pa- ! pers." "Well, I don't want to beg, and I am offering you the trick very low in order to get home to see my sister die. Have you a dying sister?" "I doan' expect I have. Vhat is dot drieks?" ( "To make 10 cents go further than SI." "Und vill she do it?" "She will." " Und o cents goes more ash half a dollar ?" "Just so." "Und a cent goes better ash a dime?" "That's the ratio." "Und nottings at all goes better ash 5 cents?" "I?I?I think it does." | "Veil, you shust consider you hat" all der nottings efer was und you vill be in Chicago to-morrow! Gif my love to dot dying sister and tell her that you saw me well.

"What, whip you when you haven't done nothing ?" "Yes, sir." "Go into the house, you booby." John felt quite relieved, and went into the house, and his father went down to the farm. Very soon his father came back in a rage, and laying the cowhide over the ur- 1 ohm's back, said: "Did I not tell you when I went away, to hoe that corn ?" "Yes, sir, but you told me just now you wouldn't whip me, if I hadn't done noth- < ing!" 46T "I never killed but one man during the whole war," said Col. James Otis, "who commanded a New York cavalry regiment, and that was unavoidable." i "How was that ?" inquired a listener. i "Well," said the Colonel, seriously, "a Confederate chased me twenty-five miles, i and fell dead, from sheer exhaustion. I have greatly regretted it since, but it could i not be helped."? Washington Post. An exchange says: "Our experience 1 has proved to us, beyond a doubt that the only method by which a woman's age can be correctly estimated is by looking at her teeth. This plan is attended with some danger, but is far more exact than judging by the number of rings." ?h* Jam aai Jimrili Mutton.?The mutton of a well-fed she( nf-eyery breed, from the Downs and ShirJown to the little wooled Saxony, is palat. ble and healthful. None of the objectioi irged against the use of pork can be broug] igainst those of mutton. It never has bet Icnown to impart scrofula, trichinre or ta} yorms to its consumers. Th6' sheep donot thrive in the mire, nor does it corisun garbage or vermin, or decaying meats < vegetables. It does not wallow in tl trough it feeds from but is a dainty and car Ful feeder and as cleanly as needs be in i tuibits.

We know of many well-to-c farmers, men who have well-stocked farm who do not slaughter a sheep during twelve month, yet kill a pig every moni in the summer season, and in the fall "pi iown" pork enough to last every othi month during the year.

They "crack" it, and the pe pie of the Northwest claim that the ne process makes their hitherto inferior whd the most valuable in the world.

Use Borax in Washing.?In employir a common, clean but cheap soap, I oftt put less than a level teaspoonful of powde ed borax into the bottom of my tub, pou ing hot water 011 it, and then cooling it the proper degree. The borax makes tl washing more easy, and is good for tl hands, healing them when chapped ar leaving them in good condition after was ing. Whatever good soap you use, it not necessary to Doil the clothes, but th process helps in most cases, especially the clothes are well stirred about in a boi er. It is not best to leave them actual boiling many minutes, as this will tui them yellow. The whole washing may 1 done without warm water, if desired, bi more or stronger soap must be used, ar the labor is harder. We want to loosen tl dirt between the fibres of the cloth as ea* Iv as possible, and then to wring it all awa That is the philosophy of making soih clothes clean. jgiaT The value of a pasture consists, firs in a close strong sward. To have this tl soil must be firm, fertile and filled wil moisture. By this we do not mean it she be wet, on the contrary, it must be the r verse. The moisture must be such as held naturally (mechanically), notthemoi ture of saturation, but that of vaporizatio Thus a permanent pasture should never 1 heavily cropped until it is well set. Hen none of the tuberous rooted grasses like tir othy are suitable to permanent pasture They cannot stand close cropping nor co stant tramping. Pasture grasses, therefor must be the fibrous and deep rooted vari ties. 5ST A great many farmers comfort ther selves with the notion that if they chanj seea witn some otner iarmer tney are uon a big thing. This is a mistaken idea. Se< should be improved and taken from tl farm where it is grown, and to which'it li adapted itself. At home is the place f improvement. The idea that the little ger of a seed can carry the good qualities of good farm with it is ridiculous ; but it a carry with it peculiarities in its natu: (growth and maturity) acquired in oi place, which will be unsuited to anothe We therefore advise farmers to impnv the seed in their own land by careful sele tion of the best ears for planting.

Dr. Chiyler. lg BEING TAUGHT. ;n One of the pleasant conceptions of Christ r- is that he is a great teacher, giving lessons r- to scholars who come to him for instruction, to Happily, too, they can think of him, not as te harsh and severe, acting the tyrant more le than the friend, but as one tenderly inviting id them on the ground that he is "meek and h- lowly of heart." With such a teacher will is they not all wish to learn ? is This wish is necessary if they are to get if the full results of his training. Sometimes, il- indeed, he seems to educate them even ly against their will. He literally breaks them rn in. In their stubbornness and perversity be they refuse to receive either him or his inLit struetions, and he, therefore, not willing id that they shall remain ignorant and degrale ded, subjects them to a discipline that will si- result in improved intelligence and wisdom, y. They are all unconscious that they are pas?d sing through the sch ool of the great Teacher, but after awhile they get to know it, and to be thankful for the instructions that have 5t, brought them so ^reat blessings. ie To one who is in sympathy with his Inth structor and desires his care, this daily edu til cation is a pleasure that he could not be pere suaded to forego. He has a will that needs is subduing, and as, in the hands of the Masis ter, he sees it losing something of its rebeln> liousness, and growing in tractable accorded ance with the truth, he rejoices in his ence couraging progress. He has a hot temper, tl_ a passionate spirit, a proud heart, a weak ?s, faith, and many other qualities and characteristics that are distressing to him, but as e he sees them improving under the wisdom eI that comes from above he takes heart and is filled with new courage. And then, when along with this, he feels that he is being edu. ucated into a better sympathy with God and ye his people, so that he reaches out after the ig good things that are before and makes proid gress in understanding and doing the will of the Lord, his joy is complete. as Christ's school is always in operation.

Baccalaureates are dismissing pupils, and valedictories are saying farewell to teachers, ,c. but it is not so in the school of Christ. He dismisses no one, and no scholar or class ever stands before him to utter a farewell. is THE ABSORBING WORK. fjj For Christian ministers, and indeed for the entire Church, this is seeking and saving the lost. It was for this that Jesus li" came into the world, gave it his personal energy and example, called his apostles about him and established his Church. We " only enter rightly in the mind of Christ r when we feel constrained to act as he did : in our pity for the lost and efforts to save* et them. No one will do this unless his heart is in n it. S ing men is not a thing of sentiment. The appearance of it may last awhile, but it will vanish if there is not the reality. A heart full of love for the Saviour and of com[n passion for his fellow men is necessary for Q* any one who will give himself to such a cause. It is a reflection on the earnestness n> of the Church, that it attends to anything ee else more carefully than this. If we are to v~ judge of it by its discussions, whether in the P? papers or elsewhere, we must conclude that it frequently forgets the sinners and their ;1S salvation, in laboring for objects that relain tively are of the slightest and most transient n> importance. ie It'is inevitable that the life will be given to that which rests most strongly 011 the mind. If one is full of something he will show it by his devotion to it. Out of the al abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, ?e and so does the life by all its means of extl_ pression. x* If saving the lost is that which is exerlP cising the thought and pressing upon the 'r- conscience, it will appear in what is said and done. If something el^p is uppermost in*thought it will be plainest in external 1S manifestation. The thought will express itself honestly. What a glory to the Church would be the proof on all hands, by every >il word and movement and the whole bearing er and tendency of the people, that it was fillit ed with a Christian's right enthusiasm in the ie matter of bringing men to Christ. Strifes, to divergences, heresies even disappear amicl v- the fervor thus produced and employed, e, and the energies that lie dormant or are te misdirected are roused and put in the way es of effective duty. The Church needs to >il pray for nothing more than for that baptism ." from God that will fill it with noble passion for going out into the field of the world |y and gathering in those who are perishing, in The answer to such prayer will not be withe. held, if it is waited for in a spirit of conse;n cration to the Master and his service. ** Jt6?* Man can never come up to his ideal p standard; it is the nature of the immortal spirit to raise that standard higher and " higher, as it goes from strength to strength still upward and onward.

ROBERT LATHAN. ? AT THE DOOE. i This bright, beautiful day comes like a benediction. As I look up toward the welcome sun this thought comes into my mind: )e Yonder sun is ninety-six millions of miles es away. These rays of light have traveled all le that stupendous distance, and yet I have ar only to drop the curtain of my eyelid and I ie am left in total darkness. There might as well be no sun as to have his rays shut out at the last instant from this little doorway ts of my eye. Even so has the Lord Jesus ly Christ come from his infinite, far-away id throne on his errand of mercy to the sinner's s. soul. That sinner has but to close up his heart's door and keep it bolted, and for him V there might as well have been no Redeemer. L Eternal life is refused, eternal death is 'd chosen at that very spot, the door of the hu:e man heart. n When an anxious inquirer came into my ts study for conversation to-dav, I reminded 1- her of this illustration of all tne bright bless, sed sunlight of heaven being shut out by a- the drop of an eyelid. I said to her: The :n decisive battle for your salvation is to be lo waged right at the door of your heart, s. .T 11st as the decisive conflict of "Gettysburg IpstfUaneous fUadiug. THE PRESCRIPTION. They were parting at the gateMan and maidStill he tarried, although late, Longing much toJiearhis fate, Yet to ask itmilf afraid. "If I only knew," said he? "Only know." "Let me give advice," said she; "Make a confidant of me; I can be of help to you." "Ah ! I know that," answered he, With a sigh. "Now I guess it all!" cried she; "You're in love, I plainly see, And afraid to tell her. Fie!" "You're a witch to guess so well" Answered he. "I would like to have you tell How to make a sick heart well; Kindly now prescribe for me." "Every heart will cure a heart," Low laughed she. "You must find another heart, Then your own will lose its smart. Try this olden remedy." "Let me havevour heart." he plead. "Nay!" said she; "I have none." "No heart!" he said ; "Then I go unooinforted, Mine a broken heart must be." "It is yours!" and she laughed low; "Don't you see? "I prescribed it long ago, .Seeing that you suffered so. What so'blind its men can be ?" "Had I only known before," Whispe'red he, "What a cure you had in store!" "You'd have suffered all the more; Men are foolish things," said she. Reading Aloud.?It is strange that in a country whose language is stored full of the choicest works of the human mind, and whose population is, as a whole, so well educated, reading aloud as a source of amusement and means of enjoyment is so little resorted to. mere lire many muiiucs, even in book-loving England, there are scores of families, we dare say, where a book, or a chapter of a book, is never read to the family circle from one end of the year to another. The individual members of the family read, but all reading done in the family is silent reading. Father has his paper; Mother her tract; Mary her novel; Johnny his story of wild adventures. Reading, there is enough of it; but each one reads for himself. There is no reading for the whole, and no grouping of the family into an audience for an evening's enjoyment, such as comes to people who hear a good bit of writing well read. Only those who have visited in families where the gift of reading was cultivated as a source of family enjoyment, and the custom of reading aloud to the family practiced, can imagine what a help and blessing to the family life such a habit is. Music is well enough in its way, but its range of expression is far narrower than that of reading, and for that matter far less practicable in its adaptation to the family wants. Then, too, singing requires an instrumental accompaniment, and a piano costs money and requires too much practice on the part of the performer to be available to many. The art of reading well is easily acquired and cheaply taught, and the expressions of literature are abundant and varied. If sorrow has fallen 011 the familv, the needed antidote can be found *- ? 1 ?

How cosv those home readings may be made! Warmth, light, companionship, culture, happiness, are included in them. Next to the impulse of love as a means of drawing families together is the influence of intellectual companionship. Cultivate these, good friends, and see how satisfactory will be the result.?The Golden llule. New Money-Order Regulations.? The following extract from a circular issued to postmasters from the Department at Washington explains itself: Postmasters at money order offices in the United States are hereby notified that, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of .Congress, approved March .'J, 1883, on and ofter Monday, the second day of July, 1883, a single domestic money order may be issued for any amount, from one cent to one hundred dollars, inclusive ($100), but no fractions of a cent must be introduced into the amount of a money order. On n.nd after the second dav of Julv. 1883. the fees to be charged the public for domestic orders will be as follows: For orders not exceeding $10, 8 cents.

About Advertising.?If you can arouse curiosity by an advertisement it is a great point gained. The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the world. It is a mistaken notion that a fine store in , an eligible location surrounded by very attractive signs, is a superior advertisement; for the experience of the most enterprising merchants is that it pays to spend less in rent and more injudicious advertising. The enterprising advertiser proves tnat he understands how to buy, because in advertising he knows how to sell. A simple card may profitably stand years without change, but a sensational advertisement should be changed as often as you can get the printer to do it. You can't eat enough in a week to last a year, and you can't advertise on that plan, cither. To make a man realize an idea as you rerealize it, is what is necessary to make him 1 understand his need. Advertisements must aim to place a matter so clearly before the public that they see it as clearly as the advertiser does. Enterprising peopleare beginning to learn the value of advertising the year round. The persistency of those who are not intimidated by the cry of "dull times," but keep i their names ever before the public, will surely place them on the right side in the end. Labor and Capital.?In l)r. Talmage's sprmnn nn the death of Peter Cooner he tells us as follows how to settle the long conflict between capital and labor: "Peter Cooper's life warns us that the best way to settle the quarrels between labor and capital is Peter Cooper's way. There are two ways in which the quarrel can be settled. One is by the violent subjugation of the laboring classes. The other is the martyrdom of rich people. This is fast getting to an age of dynamite. Dynamite in the Kremlin, dynamite in the Parliament, dynamite in Ireland, dynamite in Germany, dynamite in Russia, dynamite in America. The remedy for all this is Peter Cooperism. There was no dynamite under Cooper Institute. . Nobody thought of putting dynamite under Peter Cooper's house. Nobody envied him his carriage. When opulent men of all lands%hall stretch out to the laboring classes and suffering classes a generous hand like that of Peter Cooper, it will terminate the age of dynamite. May the spirit of Peter Cooper come down, under government securities, upon railroad companies, upon the business men j of America."
