Xaits From Washington. J, L. Canning ham is the senior mem ber of the Boston firm which nearly en joys a monopoly ia supplying masts for ?esseis boils on the Atlantic coast. Twenty years ago, says ilr. Cunningham, ressels were smj.!er than now and tim , faer for masts could be had in New Hamp shire and Maiae. When the forests there were thinned out they fell back on 3Iichi gan. Bert of late years the denaani has been /or larger masts thnn even the pine there furnished, and the northern pine forests of Washington .vere called upon. These are loaded into a chartered vessel and shipped to Boston arr>uad the Horn. Mr. Cubttia^ham ships cne cargo a year in this way, a tvd he has only got one com petitor- He is now on his vrny to Port Biakely, Wash., to superintend theload ing of a vessel which has a capacity of 1,400,00(1 feet of lumber. "The Northern pine,'7 he says, "is ^next to the w^ite oak in strength, anl h? double the strength of the Eastern ' piae. I buy nothing over 315 feet in j length, bo5 we could gut maot3 150 feet long if we wante-1. it i? little trouble to get a stick 150 feet long without ar knot. The lumber basinets iu Washing ton is extremely dull, and half tie mills, along the Po<:et Sound are idle. A stick that cost $110 a year ago can be bought | to-day $60. The reason? The South | American and A.isiralian markets have overstocked, and there is no fie- j mau3. T$e markets are glutted. Why, { a year ago the freight on 1000 feet ot { lumber to South American ports was $84.50. To-day it is $9.59. And the ? worst ot it is, there are no prospect of ' improvement for the present." It may surprise many to know that for twenty years this firm has been shipping ; timber for masts from the Pu-^et Sound country. At first cargoes were only lent every few years, but of iate a cargo a j j ear is the rule. The timber is shipped in the rough, and the masts are shaped j at the various New England and Eastern ?hipyarus. ? St. Paul (Mian.)

Marine Kecord. Canning of Gu'ifi. An example of the cunning of gt^ls was observed at Tacoma, Washington, ^ when several alighted on a bunch of logs that has been in the water for a ' long time, with the snbmeiged sides x thick "with barnacles. One was a big^ gray fellow, who seemed to be the Cap tain. He walked to a particular log, fttood on one side of it close to the waller, and then uttered peculiar crietf. The other gul!s came aad perched on the same side of the log, which under their combined weight rolled over seve^U finches. The guils, step by step, kept the- log rolling untii the barnacles shewed akbove the water. The birds picked eagerly at this food, aod the log was not abandoned ^ntil every barnacle had been picked.?

Professor Beach, of the New York ; r;?? pen meat Ststioa, says that the first indication of the powdery mildew which 1 ittacks the apple, peach and plum seed- } lings is the appearance of cobweb spots j on the leaves in spring. These spread antil the whole leaf is covered. The disease attach both the upper and un der surface, but does not enter the tissues. It can be kept in check by five ^ or six applications of the ammoniacal solution of copper carbonate at intervals o? about twelve days, the first to be sonde when the leaves are about half-de veloped. Hoth upper and under sur faces should be thoroughly sprayed. Th'; cost, aside from the labor expended in making the applications, is about tea cents per 1000 trees. ? New York World. A TAR ROOP FOR A ROOT HOCSK. A serviceable covering miy be made over a root house, undd^he gangway of a barn, byfir?t covering with cedar logs, as suggested, and these covered with a concrete of tar and sand. B it something must be used under this covering to pre vent a loaded wagon from shaking the support and so cracking th-? concrete. This protection will be afforded by laying three inch planks over the logs,and then covering 4tese with the floor of concrete. Lighter plank3 might do, if a few iaches of earth or gravel be laid on them, and the concrete then laid down. The earth would give the requisite elasticity to the ^ragon way. The concrete is made by "Jhrixirjg the sand, first heated on a sheet Iron pan, with the hot tar, until the tar ? all absorbei??pd will not run. This is then rolled firmly and cleau sand is ftn-ead on to take up the surplus tar as It may work to the top. Beating with a fat plank rammer will do as well as the roller. ? New York Times. ODOROUS BUT USEFUL. I think skunks do a vast amount of good and not much harm, is ttosState raent of D. ' Barper of , Genesee County. We had a twenty-twos>acre lot infested with white grubs last fall, so much so that you could not look on the ground anywhere without seeing ^rhere tbe grubs had followed the drill-marks *nd eaten off the row of wheat for?a jpace of six inches to a foot or more. In j October skunks had been over the whole 3eld and removed the grubs so, that we could not find one of the spots that had been eaten off bat what' the grub had jeen taken out. The skunk can put its sharp nose right cn the spot where the i grub is at work. We have had a few yhen-egas eaten by skunks, but not j toougp. to notice. The moet loss we ?ver suffered from them was when an old dog tried to pick up one about ten rodsafrwqatbe house; then the odor per vaded everything near there. A crock >f October butter at the house in ten ninutes was lit only for soapgrease, and jre were uncomfortable fer some time irom the presence of such powerful per fumery.

Raw potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips, iad othef kinds of loots may be given ;o breeding ewes with great benefit, pro vided they are ^ *a small quantities at 3rst, inefcasing the rations as the animals I become accustomed, to such soft and sue- j culent food. In no case should so muck be given as to cause looseness of the bowels, or what is usually termed scours, I and when there are indications of this the roots should be withheld until the droppings have returned to their norma1 conditions. If the potatoes ire large of medium size they should be cut up intc I dices, but very small ones may be fed whole. One quart of cut potatoes and a , oint of brau sprinkled over them would > be a fair ration to begin with, and only Dncc a day, increasing to double the quantity in^ the course of three dc foui weeks. A little salt, say a "teaspjonful 'jo each animal, may be added to each ration, unless salt is kept where the sheep :an help themselves. It is common prac tice to feed breeding ewes grain of some kind with <?ood hay on well-cured corn stalks, but all most?, mouldy food should be avoided, as it is likely to cause abor tions. There is nothing' better to in ;rease a flow of milk than sugar beets, 1 md every farmer who keeps sheep should raise a quaatlt# ot these roots to feed his breeding cwe| ?

One of theynost profitable crops for pigs that -can ete planted in the spring of the year is pease** and land cannot be made to produce ar.y crop that returns *o much to the owner. The pease may be raked, stacked nnd fed to the pigs from the stack, or the swine may be turned into tue iieid and allowed to eat what they will. In t le early part of A.a<_just those that are ne^de J for seed should be gathered. On every live acre; ; of pea grouad-^tuta^ about t.venty-five piers !%osc, and if the? have been fed a i little corn through the summer they will be in fine condition for the first market. The fir^t market h always the best, and the first pigs that are fattened oa the pease will save '-he corn for other par poises. In addition to this the land after the pigs have eaten the pease from it will befin excc'.:ent condition for winter wheat. *The"best soil for the field pease is i moderately rich, sandy loam, and timothy ! sod on such soil c-an be turned over for j the crop very successfully. O i low, wet j cold grounds the pea vines Will not thrive i well enough to warrant one in planting J them. Too rich soil is bad for them, i for the plauts go all to vine, and produce ! no pease. The earlier the seed bed is piowed and prepared in the spring the better the crop will be. T vo bushels of common peaae should be sown broadcast to the acre, and then dragged in well. If properly sawn they will sooa covet the field with a irreen mantle* The pea vines and the pig manure ennch the soil, and the hoofs of the animals pulverize it so that the field is a most excellent one for winter wheat in the fall of the year. Pea vine,epsilftge is a valuable food, cot only for pigi, bnt for cattle and the famous Soatfeera cow pea can be planted with great advaitas* on mwiy toil*. It is a fine crop for enriching aod improv ing the mechanical coaditiooS of the ground, and the ensilage which it makes is considered as valuable notify as that of corn. Land that is devoted to cow reas in the summer can also bew seeded oown U* wheat rery successfully in tbe fall. The sweet. s>?coulent ensilage will " also-jnake a fine ration for the animals all through tbe winter. On the whole, the va!ue,;of pease and pea vines haa && be^r justly appreciates! t>y many faxdHa ar>-i ?tock breoiiers* Like c i ove^gBp|ilan i h enrich the soil white snp 'lffi^^Pp: ani mals with food. ?

Get the flower borders ready for sow ing annuals of the hardy class. Geese are great foragers and will e?.t almost as much grass as a growing call", j Worden's Seckel pear is considered a I very promising fruit by excellent author- ! ities. Growers are regarding with much favor the Frederick Clap pear, which ' ripens in October. The best fertilizer for an orchar d ii ; stall manure mixed with wood ashes 01 i some phosphate mixture. Every care should be taken that the ; roots of transplanted trees are not ex posed to either sun or wind. \ The "Boardman*1 is a new apple, ! named in honor of the Secretary of ths j Maine Potnoiogical Society. . If not already done, cover over your ; strawberry bei with straw ro remain anl protect the fruit from the ground. Oue of the best plans of manage nen ? with the chickens and turkeys is to change the male* at least once a year. Etrly1 maturity is securing a large growth at an early age; but to receive the best results quality must go with it. One of the most important kem? in tbe management of vouag turkeys is to keep them dry, at least until the feather? are well started. Some hens never make good sitters, and hence should never be Allowed to sit ; a good mother is.oeceisary to rais<j the young fowls. March and April arc the best for hateh- J ing, and all reasonable care should be : taken to secure as large a number a? pos sible during this time. . See that the sitting hens have ready &CC0M to plenty of food and water, so that they will not be obliged to leave their nests too long at any one time. If the incubator chickens are a little late, better sell them when they will average one and a half pound in weight rather than risk Tower prices a little later. There is rib advantage in putting too large a number of eggs under the setting hens; fifteen is as many as a good large hen can cover, and a smaller hen should be given a less number. In setting out trees, shrubs, berry plants, berry bushes or flowers, be sure you leaye no open interstices under the roots; make sure that the soil toucuei the roots at every point. Low-lying lands should, as a rule, bo avoided ior fruit trees. In general the best results are obtained on high ground, when the soil may be too rough fur other tillage, yet reasonably fertile. "When spring planting is in order se the strawberry plants as early as tiie sea son will allow. If profit only is the ob ject, select wgll tested varieties that are favorites in your nearest market. When you set a broody hen, give her a green sod for the botl:oa* ( f her nest ; it tends to keep moisture for the eggs. Mark the date of setting on each egg, and see to it that no hens lay to her or break her eggs. Fifty fowls may be kept in one house, provided the place is kept clean and sweet and furnished with a good run. The fowls should have wholesome food* varied with green stuff, ground b,one meal, and coarsely ground oyster-shell. Fowls should become usei to their quarters. Book-keeping is just as necessary in poultry keeping a? i& ordinary mercan- ! tile business. Debi', the hens with all 1 food, buildings and general labor in their behalf, and credit then with all e^gs, poultry and stock jold. Theo, at the end of the year, or in fact any time, your financial standing will be readily discov ered. Absorbents are of great value to the poultry house. Dry ioam, smuck, coal ashes, etc., are splen lid fcr "taking ia" ' not only moisture and dampness, but also the various noxious gasses, such as am monia and carbonic acid gas, which are always present in greater or lesser quan tities. A pure dry atmosphere is essen tial to health. Among the anomalies of nomenclature noticed in our market reports are the words "Irisi potatoes/' applied to cur common potato. The potato is purely an Americau. Ireland never siw one until it was sent there from this conti nent. The same is true of the tomato, Owiag to the very large use of this veg etable in Southern Europe m-my persons are of the opinion that the tomato was a nitive of that section. irom tne reecn^g or tne nen in winter for eggs, ail the way through the line of domesticated animals until we reach the highest bred and m >st valuable trotter, the matter of . selectc I feeds, properly balanced fceis, and Jeedi: adapted to the ;nd desired and essential to the accom plishments of the highest results is what the American farmer and feeder has to direct his most earnest attention to. First feed the soil, then the animal, and do both scientifically. A Jf.in Who Grew a New Lungr. Not long ago the writer wm in a coun try noted for its healthful ness. One of the men whose business is to boom the town told the following as an induce ment : 4 'There ^as a mau who lived in Illin ois who had consumption, He had $10, 000 life insurance which he had placed on his life before he became marked. The doctortf'told him him he could not live six months; his friends encouraged him the same way. He told them that he did not think be would live that long, and that he did not care if he died the next day. He made a sale of his lite in surance policy at seventy- hve cent* the dollar, aud came here with his $7, 500 in mooey. He went to the cametery and bought a lot, and got it f mighty cheap, for there was never much demand for that sort of real estate in thi^ vicini-^ ty. While he wa> fixing it up, an 1 while he was cultivating the acquaint ance of an undertaker, he be^an to get better. He had one lung when he came here, and you couli hear him breathe a i block away. He lingered until he began to pick up, and tht first thing we kuew | he had sold his lor. in the cemetery. ; He actually grew a new lung without taking anything except the blessed atmosphere of this glorious climate. He got well of the tjonsumption. He went into busi ness on his life insurance money and lived ten years. His death was caused then by an accident. He had trrown to mate, but it is ft good place to make money. There was a man in Galveston who had a row with his son aoout some thing, and he told, him one day that he woatd give him $10- JO for every mile he traveled away from Galr<?ston and did not ieturn. The boy started and got ; this far and drew on the old mah saying that be had concluded to stop here. , Tne old man was as good as his Jtford afri j sent him a ofaec c for -4&ia ? the boy went into busine-?, an i ??* is ? now worth $250, 000. ?

Prov erbs xiL, 27. t>arid and J eremiah and Ezekel and and Solomon of the text showed that some time they had been oat on a hunting ex pedition. Spear?, lances, swords ana nets - were employed in this service. A deep pit fail would be digged. In the center or it there was some raised ground with a pole oo which a lamb would be fastened, and the wild beast not seeing the pitfall, but only seeing the lamb would plunge for its prey i 1 and dash down, itself captured. Birds wera 1 caught in grins or pierced with arrows. The hunters in olden time bad two missions? one to clear the land of ferocious blasts, and the other to obtain meat for themselves and their families. The occupation and ha')itof hunters are a favortfe Bible simile. David said he was hunted by his enemy like i par tridge upon the mountain. My text Ss a ; hunting scene. A sportsman arrayed in a g.?rb appropri ate to the wild chase lets alio the* oloo '- j thirsty hounds from ttjvir kennel-, aril i fcnounting his fleet horse, wfth a hilioo and j the yell of the greyhound pack th?y ai\s j off and away, through brak-.? and deit. over I marsh and moor, across chasms waere a misstep would hurl borsj and rider to de*th, ; plunging into mire up to the haunches or in- : to swift streams up to the bit, till the garni | is tracked by dripping foam and blood, an I j the antlers crack on the rock?, and the ; hunter has just time to be in at the death. . Yet, after all the haste and peril of tha j chase, my tex ; rcpreseat> this sportsman as j bemg too indolent to dress the game an I j prepare it for food. He lets it lie in tbe dooryard of his home and become a portion for vermin and beaks of prey. Thus by on a master stroke Solomon enves a picture of laziness when he say?, "The s-lotbfu! man roasteth not that which he took in hunting.-' The most of hunters z^ave the game they shot or entrapped coo ed ths same evening or the next day, but not so with this laggard j of the text. Too lazy to rip off the hide.. Too lazy to kindle the fire and put the grid iron on the coals. The first picture l-ever bou?bt was an en graving of Thorwaldseu's ''Autumn v Th* clusters of grapes are ripe 011 the vine of the homestead* and the returned hdun is, pant 1?% ? ch.ase- are ^iag on tha doorsill ,s UI1S -oulierin- the game, wliilta the housewife ib about to talse a portion of it and prepare it for the evening meal. Lnuke the person of the text she was enough industrious to roast that which had been taken in hunting. Buttheworlif has had "many a specimen since Solomon's tiDi6 of thos^r whose Jassitudd and iairirovi; dence and absurdity were depicted in ray j , 111031 those who ha\4 made a dead failure of life can look back and see a tune when a great opportunity opened, but they did not kunw it. They were net as wise as George Stephen son, the father of railways," who, when at sixteen years of age he received an appoint ment to work at a pumping engine for twelve shilling a weak, cried out- "Now I am a made fl|$h for life." God gives to most men at least one good opportuuity. a great Grecian general was met by a group of beg gar?, and he ?aid to them: "If vou want beasts to plow your land I will Jen J you some. If you want land 1 will give you some. Tf you want seed to <tow your land I will see that you get it. But I will encour age none m idleness.-' So God gives to most people an opportunity of extrication from depre&sed circumstances. As if to create >n us a hatred for indolence, God has made those animals which are slug gish to appear loathsome in our while those which are fleet and active he has clothed with attractiveness. T be tortoise, the sloth, the snail, the croco dile repel us, while the deer and the gazelle j are as pleasing as they are fleet, and from the swift wings of innumerable birds Go I b&s spared no ptirole or gold or jet or crim en or snowy whiteness. Resides all this the Bible is constantly assaulting the vies of laziness. Solomen seems to order the idler out of his.$ight as beyond all human instr u> tion when he says, "Go to the ant, thou slug* gam; consider her ways and he wise.'' And Paul seeins to drive him up from his dinin? table before be gets through with the flr^t course of food with the assertion, "if any will not work, neither shall he eat." Now, what are the causes of laziness and what aj*e its evil results? I knew a mail who was never up to time. It seemei impossible j for him to meet an engagement. W hen he was to be married be inis#ed the train HU watch seemed to take on the habits of its owner, and was always too slow. He had a institutional lethargy for which he did not seem responsible. So indolence often arises from the natural temperament. I do not know but there is a constitutioual tendency to this vice in evvry man. However active you may generally be, have you not on some warm spring <Xay felt a touch ot this feeling on you. although you may have shaken jt off as you would a reptile? But some are >> powerfully tempted to this by th?ir bodilfc constitution that ail the work of their lite"* has teen acifcmpiished wita this lethargy hanging on their back or treading on their creels. You sometimes behold it in childhooJ. The child moping and longing within doors whde bis brothers and sisters are at play, or if he join them ho is behind in every race and beaten in every game. His nerves, his musclar bones are smitten with this palsy. He r vegetates ratSer than lives, creeps rather than walks, yawns rather than ureatbes. The auimat in nis uatura is stronger than the intel!ceual. He is gen erally a great eater and- active, only when he caDnot digest wiirft he has eaten. Itre quires as much effort for hunto walk as for others to run. Languor and drowsiness are his natural inheritance. He is vbuilt for a s'.ow sailing vessel. a heavy hulk itoi an in sufficient cutwater. Place an active man in such a boJiiy structure and the latter would be shacken to pieces in one day. Evtry law of physiology demands tK^at he be supine. Such a one i? not responsible for this powerful tendency o!i his nature. His great duty is resistance. When I see a man lighting an unfortunate temperament all my sympathies are aroused, and I think of Victor Hugo's accouat of a scene on a warship, where, in the midst of a storm at sea, a great cannon got loose, and it was crashing this way and that an ! would have destroyed tne ship: and the chief gun ner, at the almost certain destruction or his own life^rusbel at it with a hanispi!ceto -.thrust bWween the spokes of the wheel of tha' trolling cannon, and by a fortunate leverage arrested the gun till it could be lashed fast. But that struggle did not seem so dishearten ing as that man enters upon who attempts to fight his natural temperament, whether it be too fast of too slow, t?fb nervous or too lymphatic. God help him, for God only can. Furthermore, indolence is o'teu the result of easy circumstances. Kough experience in earlier life seems to be necess&ry in order to make a man active and enterprising, woun'aineers are nearly always swarthy, and those who hav> tolled among mountains of trcn I- get j ??? ?_? most nerve and niuscl? and brain. Those who have become the de liverers of nations, once had not where to 'ay their heads. Locusts and wild honey have been the far? of many a John the Bap tist. while those who had been f on lie! of * fortune and petted and praised have often ^rown up lethargic. They have none of that heroism which comes from fighting on As own battles. T^ie warm surom -r sun of prosperity has w>ak ?ned and relaxed them. Born among the -usuries of life, ex^rt-on ha^ been unneces sary. and therefore they s^ljpnd thair time in faking it easy. They may enter into busi ness. but they are not fitted for its applica tion, its hardships, for its repulses, and after having lost the most of that which they have ?nveste^ro haok to thoronrh inaction. This 'xistJy ya^it may do well enough on the smooth, ^fessy bay, but cannot live an hour amid a chopped sea . Another cause of indolence is severe dis couragement. There are tho-e around us who started life with the rro^t saDguine expectation. Ther enterprise excitea th? remark of all compeers. B it some sudden and overwhelming misfortune met thf.xi. ^nd henceforth they have been inact 'e. Trouble, instead of making them more % ?, I erminod, have overthrown them. They have lost all self-reliance. They imtgine that ? d mop r?ndab otymrrenoasare nraiu^t them. They hang their heals when once they walked upright. They never loo> you up in the eyes. They become inwpjnfcaropec aoi | pronounce ati men i?^1t:?C3unireis. They go m?lanchoIifr*BKitllJl^iShare totheir graves. You ^annotrotra th?m to action by ?be moct trlittArm? offer. ? j; 1 -? j k In most cases these persons dare been hon orable and upright all the r live?, for rogues ; never get discouraged, as there is always some oiher plot they have not !ai 1 an i soma - other trap they have not sprung. There are bat fe-w sadder sights than a man of talent and tact and" undoubte I capacity giving up life as a failnre, like a line of inagniricent steamers rotting against: wharves, from which they ought to have been carrying the *TDort? of m nation. Bverv rreat financial panic produces a large cropor such men. in 'he great establishments where tbev -were partners in business they are now weighers or draymen or clerics on small salary . Reverie is also a cause of indolence. There i ire multitudes of men whoezoect to achieve great success in life, who arv entirely un billing to put forth any phy. <ica!, m -riil or tctellectual effort. * They hare a gre*t many ?Jr?si?nt theories of life. Thaw are all the vhile expecting something to turn' op. They have read m light literature how meo suddenly >and unexpectedly cam# to l?m states, or found a pot of barfed gold at . foot ot the rainbow of Good Luck, or had some great ofler made them. TbVy have passed their lives in reverie. NotwithstapdJng~he is pinched with pov erty. and any c f her man would be downcast at the forlorn prosp^t, he is always, cheer ful and sanguine an 1 jovial, for he does not know but that he may be within a day or two of astouniin z suocass. You cannot but be eut*rtaine:l with his cheerfulness of tem per. All the world wishes him well, tor he never did anybody harm. At last he dies in just the same coudition in which he lived, sorrowful only because must leave the world just at the time wj^Biis iong-thought al nlans were about to be^Gccessful Lgt no young mau b?gin iifp with reverie. The** is nolhiug aocotnplishei without hard work. Do not in idleness expect something to turn up. It wjll turn down. Indolence and wickelness always make bad luck. These people of reverie are always about to begin. They .say, 'Wait a little* So with the child who had a cage containing a beau tiful cana^v, and th* door of the cage was open and a cat was in the room. "Better shut the door of the cage," said the mother. "Wait a minute," said the boy.- IV h ile he was waiting the faline creature with one spring took tha canary. The way that many lose the opportunity of a lifetime is by the same principle. They say, "Wait a minute." My advice is not to wait qt ail . Again, bad habits are a fruitful Boii*aa.a?^ indolenc?. S:n!ul indulgences shut a man's" shop ani dull his tools and steal his profits. Dissoluteness is generally the end of in dustry. There are those who have the rare faculty of devoting occasionally a day or a week to loos* induteeuces. and at the ex piration or tnat time ga.bacs witn bleared eves anl tremulous handstand bloated cheeks to the faithful and successful per formance of th?ir duti-3% Indeed their em ployers and neighbors exp?ct this amuse ment or occasional season of ffolic and wassail. \J Some of the best workmen and most skill ful artisans have this mode of conducting themselves, but as the tiaie rolls on the sea soti of dissipation becomes more protracts 1 and the season of steadiness and sobriety more Limited, until the employers b?00111? disgusted and the man is given up tda con- i tinual and ruinous idleness. Wh|i that point has arrived he rushe3 to destruction with astonishing velocity. When a man with strong proclivities of appetite has noth ing to do, no former self respect or moral restraiut or the bessechings of kindred can save him . The only safely for a man who feels himself under the fascination of any form of temptation is an employment which affords neither recreation nor holiday. Nothing can be more unfortunate for a man of evil inclination than an occupation which keeps him exceedingly busy daring a part of the year and then leaves him for weeks and months entirely unemployed. There are many men who cannot enHura protracted leisure. They are like fractious steeds that must constantly be. kept to the load, lor a week's quiet makes them intrac table and uncontrollable. Bad habits pro duce idleness, and idleness prodnces bad habits. The probability is that yon will either have to giva'up your loosa indulgences or else give up your -occupation. Sm will take all enthusiasm out of your work and make'you sick of life's drudgery, and though now and then between your saasons of dissi pations you may rouse up to a suidan activity and start again in the chase of some high and noble end, even though you catch the game you will sink back into slothfulness before you have roasted that which you took in hunting. Pad habits untit a man for any thing but politic*. Now, what afbethe results of indolence? A~~ marked consequence of this vice is physical disease. The nealthiuess of the whole natu ral world depends upon .activity. The winds, tossed and driven in endless circuits, scattering the mists from the mountains, and scooping out tfeath damps from the cave?, | and blasting toe miasma of swamps, and hurling back the fetid atmosphere of great cities, are healthy just because of Their swiftness and uncontrollableness of sweej^ But. after awhile, the wind falls and the , hfet san pours through it, and when the leaves are still and the grain fields bend not ohce all day long, then pestilence smites its victims and digs trenches for the dead . All the healthy beauty of that whicti we see and hear in the natural world is depend ? ent upon activity and \jfrrest. Men -will be healtny? intellectually, morally aud physi cally? only upon the condition of an active industry. 1 know men die every day of over work. i They drop down In coal pits, and among the spindles of Northern factories, and on the cotton plantations of the South. In every city and town and village you find men groaning under burdens as, in the East, the camels stagger wider their loads between ' Aleppo and Damascus . Life is crushed out every day at counters and workbench* and anvils . But there are*other multitudes who die from mere inertia. Indulgences every day are contractu^ disease beyond fchi catholicon of allopathy and homeopathy and hydropathy and ecleoticism. Rather than work they rush upon lancets and scalpels. Nature has provided for those wao violate her laws by inactivity? what r?eum for the eyes, and what gout for the fdet, and what curvature for the spine, and what strictures fgs-tk^ chest, and what tubercles for the -"tungs, ancl what rheumatism for the muscle?, ami what neuralgias for the nerves. Nature in time arraigns every such' culprit at her bar, and presents against him an indictment of one hundred counts, and convicts ttf^ou each one of them. The laws of nature-will not stop their actioa- because men may be ignorant of them. Dfsease, when it come3 to do its work, does not ask whether you un derstand hygiene or pathology or materia medica . If there were not so many lies written on tombstones and in obituaries vou would see what multitudes of the world s inhabitants are slain in their attempts to escape the necessity of toil. Men cross oceans and con-* tinents, and climb the 41ps, and sit under the sky of Italy or the shadow of Egyptian Pyramid, an 1 go down into ancient ruins, an ! bathe at Baden Baden, and come home with the same shortness of breath, and (he same poor digestion, and the same twitch ing of the nerves, when at home with their ' own spade the* might have dug health out of the grouuJ, or with their own axe hewn health out of n log, or with their own scythe garnered health from the grafn field. There are inanv who estimate the re spectability ot an occupation by the little exertion it demands, and would not lave their children enter any employment where their hands may be soiled, forgetting that a laborer's overalls are just as honorable as a priest's ro'jes ail I an anvil is just as re spectable as a pulpit. Health flies from the be'? of i own and says. "1 cannot sleep here;'' and from the table spread with . ptarmigan and epicurean viands, saying, "I cannot eat here anl from the vehicle of soft cushions and easy springs, saying, "I cannot ride bore;"' and "from houses luxuriously wermei and upholstered, say ing. "I cannot live here;'' and someday you meet health, whodeciiuei all these luxuriant pi a res, walking' in tho plow's furroVJ or sweltsring beside the hissinz forgo, or spin ning among the loom?, or driving a dray, or tinying a roof, or c-irrying ho. Is of brick up the ladder of a wtl' Furthermore. n:t;c9 that iniolence en dangers the sou . Satan makes his chief conquests over m >n who either have noth ing to do, or, if they have, refuse to do it. There is a legen I that St. Thomas, years after Christ's resurrection," bagan again to doubt ?n 1 ho xv^nt fi th? Anosttas *n"l told them about his doubts. Kach A nostle looked at him with surprise and th$e said be must be excused, tor he ha I no time to listen any J !on;ci* Then St. Toomas went to the de vout women of his time ani express?! his : doubts % They said they were sorry, but they had no time to listen. Then St. Thomas concluded that it was because they xjere so bu>\r that t i ? A ?ostles anl t:ie de vout women bad no doubts. Idleness not only leads a mau into asso ciations which harm his moraU, but often thrust* m*on him tbe worst kind of skep ticism wlmoct alwevs iofidels. or fast getting to be. Consummate idlers never read the Bible, and if they appeal* in church can be distinguifchei in an audience of a thousand by their listlessnasa^ for thev are too lazy to hjar. It is not so much among occupied merchtnts, industrious me chanics and professional men always busy that you hear the religion, of Jesus ma'igned, as in public lounging places, given up to profanity and disfoiuteness. They have no sympathy with the Bo>*>k that saysi, 'Let him that stole s:*al no jnore;. but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that be may hare to give to I him that needeth." _ | ; ! j , II oever knew a man given, opto thorough ^dlebess thilt was "converted.

Let me teil the idler that there is no hopa for him either in this world or in the world which is to come. If the Son of God, who owned the whole universe, workei in the carpenter shop of Josoph, surely we, who own so littse. yet want so mucii^ ought to be busy. The redeemed in heaven are never idle. What exciting songs they sing'^, . On what messages of love they fly tanktgh all the universe, fulfilling God's higb behests an 1 taking worl.1v in one circnit; rushing with infinite fierceness against sin and croeity and onpre?sion, and making the gates of he'i to quake at tbe overthrow of i the principalities of ^rkness, and in the ' same urinkle of an ^e soeedintc r>ack to their throne^ with the new ? of sinners re pentant.

You near the pawing of their chargers, ind all along the line of battle is heard the shout of their great captain, and at the armies of the living God they hurl their de fiance. They come, not iu numbers like the hosts of Seanacherio, but their multitude is like the lereesof the forest, and the sound of , UWr'voTces like the thuader of the 6ea.

Harvests shall not lie waste in the track nor cities be consumed. Instead of the groans of captives shall come tbr. song of those redeemed. Yet the conquest shall be none the If** complete, for .if in that hour when all shotfk^ be vigilant the church of God should negi?? to seize the prize and the cause should seem to fall from the graveyards and ceme* teries of all Christendom the good and faith ful of the past would spring to their feet in time to save the cause, and though the suu might not again staud still above Gibeon, or the moon in the valley of Ajalon, the day would be long enough to cam a decisive vic tory for God "and the truth But my text is descriptive also of those who hunt for opportunities, Hand when they get them do not use tbetp.
