“I’d Sooner Dance than be a Chrirtian."
BV 3. E. BITTLK.
“I want to dance, I love to dance,
I like a joyous life to live,
1*11 ecarcely have another clmucc,
And then my heart to God I’ll (five.
Yon say that notr I should forsake
The »teps that lead the downward way.
Your good advice not now I’ll take,
But wait till I am old and gray.
I’d be » Christian, but I hate
To yield the dance I love so well;
I think I’ll run the risk and wait.
I’m not afraid of death nor hell.
For ‘God is love,’ and will not have
My soul*in endless torment dwell.
So cease your talk about the grave.
Of pleasure now I’ll take my fill.
1 can’t give up.the polka gay,
The quadrille, waltz and schottisch too.
Pray call again another day, .
Perhnps I then may talk to you.’*
She danced and waited one more year,
Immersed in wild frivolity,
Without a single thought or fear
To such a life an end could be.
They sent for me. The summons came:
“Life’s tide is ebbing very fast.”
Laid on a feverish couch of pain,
That fatal year had been her lust.
“I’ve gained the world, uiy soul is lost!”
This was her sad, despairing cry.
Without one fay of hope she passed •
Into a dark eternity!
Oh! thoughtless youths who falsely say,
“That life is long, no danger’s near,’*
The Savionr says, “Yield thee to-day,
You may not lire another year.
What profit though the world you choose
And lose your own undying soul!
What in exchange would you propose
Could you the wealth of worlds control V*
The Spirit grieved conies not again;
Then mercy takes its final flight.
Ah! then you’ll call and ask in vain,.
Your future ends in hopeless night!

The Chariot of Fire.
“You promised to toll us how
Elijah weut to heaven mother; won’t
you relate the story to us to-night P
said Heury as they sat by their
mother the next evening.
“Yes I will tell you. about it if you
wish,” said she. “He lived in the
ieigu of Ahab, and it was after the
famine for the want of rain, that I
told yon about, that Jezebel, Abab’s
wicked wife, determined to kill
Elijah. The prophet beard that she
was trying to kill him, and he went
as fast as be could to Beersheba and
there he left his servant, but as for
himself he weut off into the wilder
ness and sat down under a juniper
bush, and asked the Lord to let him
die.! After a while he was so tired
that he fell fast asleep and^then the
aqgel of the Lord touched him and
told him to get np and eat some
thing. Elijah wondered how anything
cou]d be got to eat in the wilderness,
but then when he remembered the
many times the Lord had fed bim by
miracle, he wondered no more, bat
got np, and behold! he saw a cake of
. bread and some water in a cruse at
his head, and so he ate and drank,
and went to sleep again. And a»
second time the angel touched him
and said, ‘Arise and eat, for the
journey I want you to take is long
and you will be very tired.’ Then
Elijah got up and ate just as much
as be could, and, then he traveled for
forty days and nights till he came to
Horeb, a mountain very wild and full
of large rocks and tall trees, springs
of water and deep thickets; and
where he thought, ‘Here Pll hide from
Jezebel,’ but it was not to hide Elijah
that God brought him to Horeb, but
to show the prophet his power, and
that he was stronger than Ahab. So
'after. Elijah had gone into a dark
cave and sat down to rest, he heard
a voice call him and say, ‘‘What dost
thou here? Then the prophet told
the Lord that the children of Israel
had forgotten him, and worshiped
idols, and that Jezebel was trying to
kiU even him, because he was a
prophet; the Lord said, ‘Go and stand
on the montain and look for me, I
shall pass along.’ Directly a great
and strong wind efime and rent the
raountaiu and tore up the tall trees ;
and it was a terrible storm. Then
the prophet thought the Lord was in
the storm, but he was not. After
the storm, came a great earthquake,
but the Lord was not in that. Then
a dazzling, raging fire passed before
the prophet, but the Lord was not in
that either, for after that when
everything was still and quiet, Elijah
heard a still small voice, like distant
music, and it called him and said,
‘What dost thon here V And when
the prophet complained to bim that
his heart was sad because the people
had forsaken him, and that he
thought that he was the only one
left that loved God, the Lord said,
‘You are mistaken about that for I
know of seven thousand who have
! not worshiped the idol Baal. Go
return and Show yourself to Ahab
and tell him how he shall die, don’t
you fear him, he shall not hurt you.
Make Hazael the king over Syria,
and Jehu king of Israel, and anoint
Elisha the son of Shaphat as
prophet in thy stead, and then I
shall send for you.’ So El^ah has
tened down from the mountain and
soon found Elisha, for he was at
work in his fathers’ field ; and wheu
he saw him he cast his mantle on
Elisha, and he left off his work and
ran after Elijah and went with him.
Some days after that, Elijah said to
Elisha, ‘The Lord will come for me
to-day,’ and Elisha would not leave
him, for he wauted to see him when
the Lord sent for him, so they weut
ou their way walking and talking
till they came to the river Jordau,
aud there Elijah took his mautle,
and smote the water and it divided,
aud left them a path dry in the middle
of tho river.”
“Just as tho water of the Ked Sea
did, when Moses stretched out his
rod, was it not mother f” said
Henry.
“Yes, just so, aud utter they had
gone over Elisha said, ‘Let a double
portion of thy spirit rest u{H>n uie,
I pray thee, if you must leave me
alone,’ Then Elisha said, ‘You have
asked a hard thing for me to grant,
but if you see me when I am takeu
up, it shall be granted to you ami if
you dou’t see me, then tlio Lord will
not grant your request.’ Presently
as they walked and talked; behold a
chariot of fire, and horses of fire ap
peared before them right out of the
sky.”
“Real Tire, mother T”
“Ob, no; but as bright, shining
and dazzling, as if the horses were ou
fire; yon know how bright and glow*
ing a coal of fire is, you eau’t bear
to look at it, so this chariot was of
such a vivid, glowing color that it
looked like fire; and it parted Elisha
from Elijah, and with a whirlwind
went up into the sky, and Elijah in
the chariot. Then Elisha called after
him, ‘My father, my father, tho
chariot of Israel aud the horsemen
thereofP Then he saw Elijah no
more, for the clouds received him
away up in the sky. Elijah left his
mantle when he stepped* into the
heavenly chariot, and Elisha took it
upaudsaid, ‘Where is the Lord God
of Elijah f aud ho went back to Jor
dan and suiote the waters with the
mantle aud they divided again, and
he went over on dry land. After
that, Elisha became the Lord’s
prophet, and did many wonderful
miracles by the power of the Lord;
and proved to tho people that God
had made him the successor of
Elijah”
“Do we ever hear ol Elijah again
mother T”
“Once more my dear, 'Thousands
of years afterwards, when the dear
Saviour came upon earth, on one
occasion he went np into a mountain
in the laud of Palestine with his
disciples, and was transfigured be
fore them, that is his clothing be
came bright, and his face aud figure
became gloriously bright and daz
zling and a glowing cloud descended
on the top of the mountain, and the
disciples saw in the midst of the
glory that surrounded the Saviour
the forms of two men, one was
Moses and the other Elijah. This
the Holy Bible tells us. These saints
came down from heaven to talk to
the Saviour, and to strengthen and
comfort him for the dreadful death
that he was so soon to suffer for us.
The Bible tells us that after Jesus
rose from the grave, he ascended
into Heaven from the top of’ Mount
Olivet, aud that a bright cloud hid
him from the view ot his disciples,
aud that au angel stood by them and
talked with them. I have thought
perhaps that in that bright cloud of
angels sent to escort the Saviour to
Heaven, no doubt Moses aud Elijah
were tho foremost ones; as they were
sent to comfort him here, they prob
ably were sent to accompany him to
glory. After this mention of him,
we hear no more of Elijah, but if
you are good children and love Jesus
you will certainly see bim in Heaven
when you die.” B.
The Saw of Contention.
“O Frauk! come aud see bow hot
my saw gets when I rub it. When I
draw it through the board a while,
it’s most hot enough to set fire to it.”
“That’s the friction,” said Frauk,
with all the superior wisdom of two
more years thau Eddie boasted.
“Yes,” said sister Mary, who was
passing, “it’s the friction. But do
yon know what it makes me think
ofr
; “No, what f” askefi both the beys
at once.
“Of two little boys who were
quarreling over a trifle this morning;
and the more they talked, the hotter
their tempers grew, until there was
no knowing what might hare bap-
hened if mother had not- thrown
cold water on the Are by sending
them into seperate rooms.”
The boys hung their heads, and
Mary went on.
“There is an old proverb which
says, ‘The longer the saw of conten
tion is drawn, the hotter it grows.’ ”
“I tell you what, Frank,” said
Eddie: “when we find ourselves
getting angry, let’s run out and use
the saw Krisskringle brought tne,
and then we sba’n’t find time for the
saw of coutentiou,”
Miscellaneous.
Preparing Skeleton Leaves.
A corresiiondent of Science Gossip,
after referring to the tediousuess of
the ordinary way of preparing skele
ton leaves, which it enough almost
to tax the patience of Job, and which
most experimenters give up in despair
before getting through with it, de
scribes a new method, which is easy,
cleauly, and takes but little time. It
is as follows:
“First dissolve four ounces of com
mon washing soda in a quart of
boiling water, then add two ounces
of slacked quicklime, and boil for
about fifteen minutes. Allow this so
lution to cool; afterwards pour off
nil the clear liquor into a clean sauce
pan. When the solution is at boiliug
{mint, place the leaves carefully in
the pan, and boil the whole together
for an hour. Boiling water ought to
lie added occasionally, but sufficient
only to replace that lost by evapora
tion. The epidermis and parenchyma
of some leaves will more readily
separate than others. A good teat in
to try the leaves after they have
been gently boiliug for about an
hour, aud if the cellular matter does
not easily rub off lietwixt the finger
and thumb beneath cold water, boil
them again for a short time. Wheu
the Hcsby matter is found to be suf
ficient! j softened, rub them separate
ly but very gently beneath cold
water until the perfect skeleton is
cx|siscd, The skeletons at first are
of a dirty white color; to make them
of a pure white, .u»d, therefore, more
beautiful, alt that Is nrmaary is to
bleach them in a weak solution of
chlorid^ of liine. 1 have found the
liest solution is a large teaspoonful
of chloride of lime to a quart of
water; if a lew drops of rinepir are
added to the bleaching solution, it
is all the Utter, for then the free
chloride is liberated. I>o not allow
them to remain too long in the
bleaching liquor, or they will become
too brittle, utul can not afterward*
lie hiiudlpd without injury. About
fifteen minutes is sufficient to make
them white and clean lookiug. Dr}’
specimens in white blotting-paper,
beneath a gentle pressnre, after they
arc bleached.
“Simple leaves are the best for.
young liegluuers to exjwriuieut u|Mi;
the vine, jioplar, heron, and iry
leaves make excellent skeletons. Care
mnst lie exercised in the selection of
leaves, as well as the period of'the
year ami the state of the atmosphere
when the sjiecimens are collected,
otherwise failure will lie the result.
The best months to gather the speci
mens arc July aud August. Never
collect specimens in damp weather ;
and none but perfectly matured
leaves ought to be selected.”
Assyrian Cuneiform Inscriptions.
Thirty years ago the history of
imperial Nineveh, then buried nuder
indistinguishable ruins, was well-
ulgli a blank. But to-day we are
tolerably well informed with regard
to the history of the entire Assyrian
Empire. The cuneiform or wedge-
sha|ied character, brought to light by
the researches of Layard, has been
the means of thus nuveiling the past.
And since few of the readers of The
Churchman probably have any cor
rect understanding of the method by
which these characters have been
interpreted, a hint or two u»ay prove
timely. The key to the inscriptions
at Nineveh, which no ooe could in
terpret, was) found at Behisttiu,
where a trilingual inscription existed
on the face of a lofty wall of solid
rock. The first ooluniu of the in
scription was Persiau; the second,
Medo-Hcythic; the third was of the
same character as the Assyrian.
This proved to the cuneiform inscrip
tions what the famous Rosetta Stone
of Ptolemy was to the Egyptian
hieroglyphics; and, after much severe
study, the secret w as unravelled, the
process of interpretation forming the
most brilliant literary feat on record.
It was found that wherever the same
word occurred in the first, or Persian
column, a group of characters was
found in the Medo-Scythi© and Bab
ylonian columns corresponding to it.
Thus it was discovered that certain
groups of words must contain the
same statements. Next, it was found
that the namet of mea, in the second
and third columns, was preceded by
a vertical wedge.
Grotefend next grappled with the
words themselves, setting forth the
hyjKithesis of homophone*, or distinct
characters representative of the same
sound, following the analogy of tbe
Egyptian hieroglyphics, which stood
from the initial tound in tbe name of
the object represented. Hincka next
inferred that the character was not
alphabetical like the Roman alphabet,
thus representing a stage in the his
tory of writiug when the analysis of
sounds was imperfect. Next it was
found that some of the characters
were not phonetic, but ideographic,
representing objects or ideas, though
occasionally tbe aauie character
stood for both object and sound, as
in tbe hieroglyphics.
Rawlinson also discovered tbe^ex
istencc of polyphone*, or unrelated
values iu the same character. After
setting points like these, the Assy-
riologists groped their way along,
and were flually able to read the
long-buried Babylonian histories, en
graved on cylinders aud slabs, aud
which now throw a flood of light
upon the Old Testament narratives.
Nevertheless, there is a somewhat
wrong impression abroad among the
people with respect to the degree of
confidence felt by Assy riologists
with respect to thpirowu conclusions.
At present, they can uot teat the
accuracy of an interpretation, and
there is no check upon arbitrary
guessing. Tbe degree of success
achieved, iu view of the difficulties,
is magnificent, yet the whole riddle
is not solved.—Churchman.
About Oil Wells.
W© live near the Alleghany River
where *11* very hilly, almost moun
tains, yet tbe scenery is very heauti-
ful. And we are in the oil country
you have no doubt heard of, and I
am going to tell yon about the oil
wells. First, they build a very high,
square frame, sixty and seventy feet
high, much smaller at the top, and
aupjiorted by cross pieces; they call
it a derrick, and It is used first for
drilling a well, And tbcu for pumping
tbe oil. Then they get their boiler
and engine, and drill by steam
power. They drill ten or twelve
hundred feet before they get oil.
Bometimes, wheu they first strike oil,
it will flow oat and np over the der
rick and on to the engine and take
fire, and burn it all down so they have
to build anew ; then they draw tbeir
drilling tools, and put in tools for
pumping; they sometimes pump over
a hundred barrels a day, hot *tis a
very good wellf* they are mostly
from twenty to fifty barrel wells.
» They build large, round vats that 1
will hold and three hundred barrels
for the oil, snd wheu one is full they
ruu it to tho river in pipes, where it
is taken to tbe refineries. Perhaps ;
aousui Johnnie, or tbe Winoousin, |
Iowa, nod Miimcssota girls and hoys
read tbe Rural, evenings, by tbe
lights from the oil taken from the
oil takes from tbe wells near here.
There are between three and four
hundred wells around here, and any
direction I look, I can see the der
ricks extending into tbe air. There
is a great amouut of money made,
and a groat deal lost, for sometimes
they ritfw to the expense of put
ting down a well and get no oil.—

SIMMONS'
Forgiveness
to
A soldier was about to be brought
before his commanding officer for
some offence. He was au old offend
er, and had been often imdflshed.
“Is be here again f” said tbe offl-
j^^onjLhf man’s name beiug called
over; “flagging, disgrace, solitary
confinement, everything Ims been
tried with him !"
W hereupon the sergeant stepped
forward, and, apologizing for tbo
liberty he took, said:
“There is one thing that has never
been done yet, sir.”
“What is that f” said tbe officer.
“Well, air,” said the sergeant, “he
has never been forgiven.”
“Forgiven P exclaimed the colonel,
surprised at the suggestion; but
when he had reflected for a few
minntew, he ordered the culprit to be
brought in, and asked hitu what he
had to say to the charge.
.“Nothing, sir,” he said, “only I
ain sorry for what 1 did.”
Turning a kind and pitiful look on
the man, wlio expected nothing else
than that bis punishment would be
increased with the repetition of his
offence, (lie oolouel addressed him,
saying: “Well, we have tried every
thing with you, and now we are re
solved to—-forgive you.”
Tbe soldier was struck dumb with
amazement; the tears started in his
eyes, and. he wept like a child. He
was humble to tbe dust; and thank
ing his officer, he retired—to be the
old, refractory, incorrigible man T
No! From that day forward he was
a new man. In him kindness bent
one whom barshuess could not
break. The man was conquered by
mercy and melted by love.

Fattening Fork
A writer in the Ohio Farmer makes
the following statement:
Some year* ago 1 was desirous of
obtaining information as to the best
and most profitable way of fattening
hogs. 1 inquired of my neighbors
and friends, aud found some in favor
of close floored pens, and others dry
lots; »ml as to the amount of pork a
bushel or barrel of oorn would make,
their opinhms were as various as
their countenances. I was just be
ginning to farm, aud as I was desi
rous of knowing the best way of
fattening hogs, I determined to try
the different plans, and also bow
much pork a barrel of oorn will
make. I made a floored pen and
covered it in. Weighed three hogs
and put them in the pen. I also
weighed three of tbe same size, and
pat them in a dry lot—average
weight 175 (rnuuda. I fed six barrels
of corn to the six hogs. They were
forty days eating tbe corn—with
pleuty of salt and w ater. Their aver
age gain was seventy-five pounds.
The hogs in the lot gained tbe most.
One that was fatted in that lot gsiu-
ed eighty-eight pounds. One in the
peu gained eighty four pounds; the
other four were uot so thrifty.
These hogs were about fourteen
mouths old when slaughtered. I
put them up the :&th October. There
was a good deal of sleet aud snow
daring the month of November,
which gave the hogs iu the pen an
advantage they would uot have bad
if the weather was favorable; they
eat the same quality of grain in the
same. It alao show* that one busliel n ic<f b T the cash, (either Bank Check' or

ing the war, while dealing so largely
in Government Honda—having a
mail of hundreds of lettera a day,
most of them containing valnable
remittances—this famous house re-
stlived to respect the Sabbath. The
Pont-Office was not visited from
Saturday night till Monday morning.
Other banking-houses received their
mail on Sabbath as usual. Jay Cooke
refused to do this. Two millions of
bonds and funds often remained in
the Post-Office over Sabbath. The
rest of tbe Sabbath benefited all
classes. Fewer mistakee were made
in thin house than probably any
other in the laud. One hundred dol
lars would cover all the loom* tie
curred in tbe mails by tbis house
during its leaf suuueetiuu with the
pork; and that the six barrels of
com made $11.25 worth of pork at
two aud one-half cents per pound;
aud that the farmer gets twelve aud
one half ceuta for his labor of feed
ing per bushel, over selling at tweu-
ty-five cents per bushel.
Hogs will fatten faster in Septem
ber and October than they will iu

fed one barrel of corn to a very’ flue
Berkshire hog that was a\>out thir

he was catiug tbe barrel of corn.
He rau on a clover lot, which was of
great advantage. This last experi
ment is considerable over an average,
and would uot hold good with com
mon hogs. From tbe above experi
ment it will lie seen that three and
two-thirds pouuds of corn, supposing
the coru to weigh fifty-five pounds
