WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO. She can talk faster than a man can hear. She can say "No" and stick to it for all time. She can also say "No" in such a low, soft voice that it means "Yes." She can eat her breakfast in bed and enjoy it. This is something that no man can do. She can sharpen a lead-pencil if you ^ive her plenty of time and plenty of pencils. She can see in a great big selfish hulk ! qualities which he does not and never did j possess. ' She can dance all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her and enjoy every minute of the time. ' She can pass a display window of a dry ; goods store without stopping?if she is running to catch a train. Sne can appreciate a kiss from her husw/1 TTO troQT*o fha marriflcp 1 uo-uu ocvcul/^-uv^7 ^^cmo u1w1 vmv uiuiaiu^v ceremony has taken place. She can walk half the night with a colicky baby in her arms without once expressing the desire to murder the infant. She can suffer abuse and neglect for years, which one touch of kindness or consideration will drive from her recollection. She can go to church and afterwards tell * you what every woman in the congrega- 1 tion had on, and in some rare instances can ! give a faint idea what the text was. 1 She can look her husband square in the 1 eyes when he tells her some cock-aud-bull ] story about being "detained at the office," ' without betraying in the least that she ] knows him to be a colossal liar. She can rumple up $17,000 worth of dress j goods and buy a spool of thread, with an j order to have it delivered four miles away, in a style that will transfix the proprietor ' of the establishment with admiration. She can go into convulsions at the sight . of a mouse, and five minutes later she can listen to her husband's story of his financial ruin with a loving smile on her face and ' with a courage in her heart that comes not J within the knowledge of men. She can?but what's the use! A woman , can do anything and everything, and do it ; well. She can do more in a minute than a j man can do in an hour, and do it better. \ She can make the alleged lords of creation ' bow to her own sweet will, and they will j never know it. Yes, a woman can do { everything, with but one exception: she cannot climb a tree. A Match Found for a Boston Quiz, j Ti/vafrtn nronflomon whilp tramninf? 1 I^UQIVH ^vuv?VM?VU .? ? c 0 through the White mountains the past summer came across a lonely hut among the hills from which the prospect was particularly tine and extended. The proprietor of the establishment was hoeing in a small garden, and the travelers began to quiz him. Said one: "You have an excellent view from your house." "Purty fair," replied the farmer. "I suppose," continued the first speaker, winking to his companion, "on a fair day you can see almost to Europe ?" "Kin see further 'n that," returned the man. "How so?" was asked in surprise. "We don't think nothin' of seein' as fur as the mune."?Boston Courier. It Looked That Way.?At one of the Northern depots lately an old lady, whom an inward train had just deposited, timidly approached a brakeman and asked if he knew whereabouts on the line her nephew was employed. "Abner ?" said the railroad man. "Oh, he's been changed about considerably lately. He fired the John Edward till she ditched the graves and he got stove in. When he came out they gave him the Owl for a while; then he broke the two-eight passenger till she jumped a know-nothing, and he got pinched somewhere, and now I believe he's spare round the yard. You see he's had hard luck." The old lady stood speechless for a moment as if trying to digest the idioms of the railroad, and then said softly, as if at a hazard, that she "thought he had."?Boston Globe. A Correction.?Over the great Los Angeles earthquake the communities down South are excessively proud. They claim that a man at San Fernando was actually thrown out of his bed by the shock. That this is untrue can be seen by perusing the ' following dispatch: s "Editor: Please correct the statement in daily papers. My husband was not thrown t out of Ded by any earthquake. I threw him out of bed myself, aud I'll do it every time he comes home intoxicated, and lies down at the foot of the bed and puts his muddy , l>oots in my face. (Signed) Jane Wilkins." This takes all the starch out of their fourth- (, class earth-quake in Los Angeles.?San j Francisco Nem-Letter. "I engaged," said a burly lawyer, "a * chaise at Gal way, to conduct me a few miles r into the country, and had proceeded some distance when it came to a sudden stand- t still at the beginning of a rather steep incline, and the coachman, leaping to the ^ ground, came to the door and opened it. * "What are you at, man ? Thi3 is not where I ordered you to stop. Has the animal jibbed?" "Whisht, yer honor, whisht," ? said Paddy, in an undertone. 'I'm only * desaving the sly beast. I'll just bang the t door; and thecrafty ould creature will think he's entirely got rid of yer honor's splindid 0 form, and he'll be at the top of the hill in no 4 time." , Not Easily Terrified.?"Jupiter is . thar yet," reminds us of Josh King, a celebrity of Polk, before it was a county. When the stars fell in '33 his family thought t the end of the world had come, and tried to i rouse him and convince him that the time j was up. He turned over and told his wife t to "see if Jupiter wasstan'in'." .She report- ( ed Jupiter as "still thar," when he snoozed ] off, saying: "All right; keep your eye 011 j JuDiter. and if vou see him drop wake me, s for'then it will "be time to get away from 1 here."?Hutherfordton (AT. C.) Banner. i 8?* "Look a-heah, sah," indignantly ex- j claimed a colored gentlemen, "does yer ] mean ter call me a thief?" "Dat's what I , mean." "An' why sah? 'Splain yerse'f | ur take de rough consequences." "Case I i seed yer when yer stole a coat." "Wall, < dat's all right, but ef yer hadn't er seed me j I'd er wopped ver, sho'. Better be pertic'- ( lar how yer lools wid me, man, 'case I < comes from a proud fam'ly."?Arkansas < Traveler. j 86T "Whar yer goin' wid dat man ?" asked a negro of his daughter. "He ain't ter i comp'ny yer." "Gwine ter de show," the i girl replied. "Dat's all right. Thought yer i was goin' ter church. A 'oman ken go wid < raos' any man ter a show, but she's got ter \ be mighty pertic'lar who goes ter church : wid her." 1ST "Where are you taking me to ?" asked i a criminal, addressing the detective who s had just arrested him. "I'm taking you to the office of the police superintendent," was 1 the reply. "I wish to observe in this case, i XT If i '1 Ak/v Anlwml if 4*2 fllQ nftlPO !

"What's up now?" "Dar's a colored ' man gwine ter be married and I ought ter }' be present to see him fru." "Who is the 11 colored man at whose wedding you have to j1 be present ?" "I'se de man, boss." S&- Teacher to a little girl to whom he is j! endeavoring to explain subtraction of frac-' tions : "If you had a pie and I should ask you for a ouarter of it, and you should give ; me what I wanted, how much would you have left? "I wouldn't have any left,"said j the little girl. Kissixg His Wife.?It is reported that when the judges at Naragansett park an-! nounced Jay-Eye-See's time to have been 2:103 in the test heat last Saturday, Mr. J. I. Case, the ownerofthe horse, was so gratified that he actually kissed his wife. It is curious what some men will do in moments of joy and excitement. AST "Pat, you shot both barrels into a reg ular jam of ducks, but I don't believe you killed many," said the hunter's compan-i ion. "Oi didn't did Oi?" exclaimed Pat. "Jus' look in the wather there, will yez?, It's fairly aloive wid dead wans!" Ihe and Jiteside. Tarring a Rat.?Rats are wonderfully clean animals, and they dislike tar more, perhaps, than anything else, for if any gets on their jackets they tind it most difficult to remove. Now, I had heard it mentioned that pouring tar down at the entrance of their holes was a good remedy, also placing broken pieces of glass by the holes was another remedy. But these remedies are not effective. The rats may leave their old holes and make new ones in other parts of the house; they don't, however, leave the premises for good. I thought I would try another experiment?one I had not heard of before. One evening I set a large wire-cage rat-trap, attaching on the inside a most seductive piece of strongly smelling cheese, and next morning I found to my satisfaction, that I had succeeded in trapping a very large rat, one of the largest I had ever seen, which, after I had besmeared him with tar, I let loose into his favorite run. The next night I tried again, and succeeded in trapping another equally big fellow, and served him in the same manner. I could not follow these tar-besmeared rats into their numerous runs, to see what would happen, but it is reasonable to assume they either summoned together all the members of their community, and by their crestfallen appearance, gave their comrades silent indications af the misfortunes which had so suddenly hofaiion t.hpm nr that thev had frichtened their brethren away, for they one and all forsook the place and fled. The experiment was eminently successful. From that day, in 1875, till now, 18S3, my house, ancient though it is, has been entirely free from rats, md I believe that there is no remedy equal to this one, if you can catch your rat alive. They never come back to the house again. Chamber** Journal. Weather Troubles.?We must remember that this is a lar^e country, and that )ur troubles from bad weather are really ilmost always comparatively local. With >ur railroads uniting all parts of the county, bringing the farmers of the extremes as lear each other as residents of a county used :o be, there is far less cause for melancholy foreboding than in the days of our grandfothers, when a single snow storm or cold snap might cut off all traffic and communiation between comparatively near neighbors for whole weeks at a time. Now, if he hay crop is short, or our corn is frozen, ,ve can find plenty of either waiting for a narket almost at our very doors. To the former who lives from "hand to mouth," who uses up each year what each year proluees, a short crop means a degree of want, bossibly hunger and cold, but this is not he character of the farmers generally. We believe that there is no considerable class bf working people in the . community who rom year to year suffer less from actual ,vant than- the farmers. Their very occupaion teaches them to look ahead and provide for the future. Tradesmen and -manufacturers have their poor years, and farmers nust not expect to be exempt. As one exreme is expected to follow another we may lope for an exceptionally productive season lext year.?New England Farmer. Black Walnut.?Black Walnut can be frown from the nut, producing a butt foureen inches in diameter in as many years rom the seed, as fa* north as Massachusetts. !Co tree valuable for the timber in cabinet ises, unless the black birch be so considered, an attain to that useful growth in that peiod of time in four northern climate. Ma* t-iv x\ I lies require twenty years ueiore nicy ueome good timber trees; beeches and birch!S, fifteen years to attain to a diameter large inough to yield nine inch boards ; hickory hould have a growth of thirty years ; and sherry at least as much. The cultivation of the black walnut might >e made a source of profit, if only as an auxliary to the ordinary farm products. It retires no particular care, makes an elegant ree even in its youth, and later affords an igreeable shade. The Sewing Machine Joitruil says: "One hundred acres of land, seeded to valnut trees, if they even reach maturity n fifteen years, would be more remuneraive than many of the crops produced by fifeen of incessant toil. Besides, these trees night be planted and would thrive on spots vhich are really valueless for agricultural lurposes, and while in the course of growth vould serve as valuable aids to agriculture is wind breaks and in other respects." The Eyesight.?Dr. Lundaylays down he following rules for the better care of the (yes: 1. Avoid reading and.study by poor light. 2. Light should come from the side and lot from the back or from tTie front. i). Do not read or study while suffering ^reat bodily fatigue or during recovery from llness. 4. Do not read while lying down. f>. Do not use the eyes too long at a time or near work, but give them occasional peiods of rest. G. Reading and study should be done sysematically. 7. During study avoid the stooping posiion, or whatever tends to produce congesion of the head and face. 8. Select well printed books. 1). Correct errors of refraction with proper passes. 10. Avoid had hygienic conditions and he use of alcohol and tobacco. 11. Take sufficient exercise in the open lir. 12. Let thy physical keep pace with the nental culture, for asthenopia is most usualy observed in those who are lacking in physical development. petroleum.?This peculiar product? ailed a "mineral" in the official documents, because it is supposed to have been produced, geologically, from coal?now constitutes one of the most important of the country's exports. It may not eventually prove to be a mineral in any other sense ;han is implied by its being found in the subterranean rocks, for it is not yet certain :hat it is not produced from measureless millions of a minute marine shell fish that nice lived in theancient seas, Whatever it is, a product of coal, or of what was once a form of animal life, it is essentially made jf carbon and hydrogen, and Is proving to ae an invaluable addition to the world's possessions. It seems strange that tills subdance, so early known, should have remained, during all these centuries, unused? except by some of the followers of Zoroaster, who have for a long time utilized napttia springs at Baku, on the shores of the Caspian sea, to keep alive their perpetual fire. Farming Pays.?If apiece of land cost >100 and produces crops that yield a net return, after paying all cost of labor and fertilization, of 810, it is paying ten per cent on the investment, just as much as if 8100 had been loaned at tfie rate or ten per cent, interest. Now there is no man who would think of living on the interest of $100 loaned :it even this high rate, but instances are not rare of men making a good living for themselves and their families from careful cultivation of ten acres of lands. We mention this fact to prove the two frequent expression that "farming does not pay" is not in accordance with fact. Ifa man invest$l,000 in 10') acres of land and makes only ten of them, or $100 worth available, he cannot expect to derive a profit from the other ninety acres, any more than he could expect any interest 4pon $1,000 when he had only $100 of it invested. Land well cultivated pays a better interest on the money invested than any other venture.? Vermont Watchman. How to Tell Diphtheria.?A doctor says: "I was called out of bed past midnight to' go four miles in the country and attend, what the messenger stated, was a bad case of diphtheria." "And you went?" "Had to. When I arrived I found a ten-year-old * T l/.Alrn/l girl crying Willi H sure uiiuut. x wuivcu imu it, asked a few questions, and found.that she had done a big washing that day. Had a little cold?nothing else." "How can you tell the difference ?" "I'll give you a rule by which you can always determine," was the response. "If the throat is red and smaller, no fear of diphtheria; but if it looks as though some one had thrown a handful of ashes into the throat?a dull gray colorlook out. It's diphtheria's danger signal. ? Bgp- Mush made in this way is excellent: Boil a quart of water. Stir a pint of cold milk with one pint of corn meal and one tablespoonful of salt. Pour this into the boiling water gradually and let it all boil for half an hour. Watch it carefully to prevent burning. ! mailing fat the ?ahhath. j ! CONDUCTED DT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. fOriginnl.J j FOLLOWING THE LORD. j In the 63rrl Psalm, at the 8th verse, David t J says, "My soul followeth hard after thee." r From the preceding context, it is manifest ( that it is God, reconciled in Christ Jesus, < that the pious Psalmist was following. The j verb translated "followeth," means "tostick t or cling to." Hengstemberg says, "('leaves'e to him, as a bur to a coat." Adam Clarke j; renders it thus: "My soul cleaves or is glued , after thee." Waterlaml translates the pas- v sage thus: "My soul hath kept close?hath ^ adhered to thee." The idea is well express- * ed by our common English version. Every 1 one knows what is meant by following a j thing, or person; and every one knows what j is meant by following hard after a person or ' thing. Worldly minded men follow hard ? after wealth ; ambitious men follow hard r after fame ; but the Psalmist says his soul ' | follows hard after God. When the Psalmist gave utterance to these words, he expressed the soul-yearnings of a vast multitude of the human family. In the days of David there were many others whose souls followed hard after God, and v ever since that, there have, in every period of the world's history, been many whose -j experience was similar to David's; and today there are many who are literally follow- * ing hard after God. Such will be the case so long as the world lasts. Two things, sug- C gested by these words, demand our atten- 11 tion. 1st. Why follow hard after God? and, i( 2nd, How can any follow hard after God ? si The overwhelming majority of our race ^ follow hard after things for no good reason, is The man whose soul is set on the things of b this world, wears out his body and vexes J-( his soul for that which observation and ex- I perience teaches will profit him but little, !l and but for a short time. Anxious thoughts jf fill his mind, and lie struggles to obtain that I which is unable to satisfy his soul's desires. ? Still he struggles on. The man whose soul is following hard r after fame, can give no good reason for b bending all the energies of his being in the \ pursuit of that which will be but an empty ? bubble when obtained. The man whose ' soul is following hard after God reconciled ft in Christ Jesus, has a good reason for pursuing such a course. Even in this vale of is tears, he finds in God all that his immortal si soul craves. Communion with God is the . consummation of all joy and bliss. This 11 the man whose soul follows hard after God " experiences. He finds a reason in the characterof God. The man whosuffers his soul si to cleave or stick to wealth or fame, follows ? after something infinitely beneath himself. He is crouching to his inferior. Animmortal soul is seeking delight in something jj which may administer to his carnal pleas- a ure, but cannot afford soul delight. ' Not so with the man whose soul follows hard after si God reconciled in Christ Jesus. In the vast f? 1 U? +1.,. KooIJ tlliu UUUI1U1C.V) 1UVCU1 UUU lliv; OUU1 forever. Ilere is a fountain pure and sparkling, deep and inexhaustible. God?the living God?is the portion of his soul forever. Whoever follows hard after God is wise. How are we to follow after God ? By the p restless multitude, the question, "How can I sii become rich, receive worldly ease and world- tl ly fame?" is often asked. Here and there, 11 are a few individuals, who are anxiously inquiring, "How can I follow hard after God." To such it may be replied, in a general way, you follow hard after God by obeying all his oi commandments. The people of God are M often, in the Scriptures, called soldiers. !) They have a leader?a captain?Jesus Chris). ^ That soldier follows hard after his captain j* or leader, who strictly obeys all his com- t( inands in the way and at the time required, n Such a soldier may be said to stick to his ti commander. So the individual who obeys the voice of the Lord, doing all that he is n commanded, at the time, and in the way he is required, follows hard after God. o. But to be more particular, it is remarked n that in order to follow hard after God, a cor- 01 rect Scriptural knowledge of the character ai of God and our own condition is necessary. P The mass of Adam's race are following hard tf after the gods of the heathen. They know s] nothing of the God that made them, and n have no correct knowledge of their own n spiritual condition. They have a zeal, but n it is not according to knowledge. They are followingthey know not what. David knew 11 the character of God. He was not following Han imaginary Deity. The beingthat lie had t constantly before his eyes was the architect v of the universe and the God of salvation. To follow hard after God, we must follow tj him constantly and continuously. 111 another Psalm (16:8) David says: "I o: have set the Lord always before me; because n] lie is at my right hand, I shall not be S( moved." So it is with every one that fol- b< lows hard after God. lie is always before their face. Their heart is fixed upon him. Again, they who follow hard after God, te follow him humbly. They are not pulled ai up. The greatness of God and their own t(: insignificance and worthlessness keeps them tl humble. They follow him willingly and fc joyfully. Thecommands of God are to them k sweeter than honey, Their delight is in the law of God. j1 For all who follow hard after God a great reward is provided. The war will soon end. The shout of victory will soon be heard. i ik'ii mc uatuc-ouiiicu d\jiku\:i wi v,i%jsyo will lay aside the implements of warfare, ? and be clothed in robes of eternal peace and joy and bliss. Then he will sit down and _ sing forever hallelujahs to him who led him safely through great tribulation, and crown- c ed him at last with a crown of righteousness, l | nrifin.il. | CHANGl'S. s< The last century has been prolific of ^ changes. The face of the American contipent hasbeen so changed that its original fea- i3 tures are almost wholly effaced, Inagricul <> ture, the country has made great changes. Socially, the inhabitants of the country have a undergone great changes. The inhabitants ^ of North America certainly enjoy more comforts and have to struggle with fewer b disadvantages to-day than they had one b hundred years ago. The greatest change r which has taken place in America during the last century is in the church. Christianity has spread in a most wonderful manner. The growth of the church, in some I respects, has been like a tree planted by t( rivers of water. ? There are many of the changes which 1< have taken place in the external aspect of the v church which are exceedingly gratifying. (1 There are, on the other other hand, some changes which do not indicate a state of ' XI /II U great prosperity in uie ouua-u. oumu tl phases of piety are fast disappearing from u our country. Parents are certainly not as a particular now as they once were to in- a struct their children in the primary principles of the Christian religion. The Bible has been thrust out of our common schools and largely out of tho family. If these things are true, and we think they > are, although we would hope they are otherwise, they omen no good. Any individual who will cast his eyes abroad over our j country, will discover tluit in every section i j, there is a united effort to secularize the r Church. This evil begins in the pulpit and ! t: descends to the pew. Ministers of the gos- | c pel preach that gospel so as to make them-11 selves popular. The great duty of instruct- I( ing the people in the plan of salvation, and _ the way of recovery through Jesus Christ | i in nil nnr nnlnits. lanrelv neerlected. The I result is that many congregations in our ! i, I country know comparatively little about' <1 ; Jesus. 11; Another unfavorable sign is the almost | universal desecration of the Lord's day. ! ~ I The Sabbath, as a day kept holy unto the i Lord, has almost ceased to nave an existence i ; inour country. We generally entirely cease j on that day to follow our secular employ- j 1 ments; but we devote the day not to the ! Lord, but largely to our own carnal pleasure. | Another bad change is the contempt with i ; which professed Christians treat church dis! cipline. The binding and loosing power I which Jesus Christ gave to the officers of his _ | church is treated very frequently with scorn. ! Because the Church cannot put a man in jail, . j its power is despised and its laws trampled \ ' under foot. I YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. PROSPECTUS FOR 1SS4. A Fine BugKj' as a Premium!
