Mr. Bayne early devoted himself to literature, and bis name is associated with nearly all the best American 4 ii^JP23^?^0*^ .especially the.

With the influence of pastor, superinten? dent and teachers, ' thrown io that direction there would be;-little, diffi? culty in awakening the interest, and securing 'the hearty co-operation of tlie children.

I ?'- * A.father, to encourage his boy in 1 habits of industry, used to pay him a * specified price for each separate job ( of work. A formal contract was al- 1 ways drawn to which Father and Son * attached their names. One day Dick 1 was asked to sign a temperance ' pledge. He took it to nis father, "i who talked it ali over with him and 1 proposed that they sign it. together . r-a. contract that neither would * break. Dick did not know tlieh, nor until years after, that his father was taking too much wine. They signed thepledge-'Richard Howell, Senior;' j 'Richard Howell, Junior/ And then i Dick's father told him to kneel by his^lniee, and- laying; his hand cn ? ?the boy's Jiead, he sprayed. God to i help them both to keep the promise; Jj they had made. 'You have signed your name a great many times, my boy, but never to a paper that meant so much as ; this/ . 'O l I don't ever want to drink, father. It is easy to promise, and 1 1 shatl never go back on my word,' said Dick, gay ly. Years went by. Dick grew up, many and many a time he was tempted to take a glass of wine or beer.. He never yielded, for he had signed hi& nome and was onhis hojior. A few more years and he bad seen 1 the curse of drunkenness, and was so glad of that boyish pledge-so glad.of a father who made, him feel 1 the sacredness of a promise. 3. Suitable temperance text-boks 1 should be introduced into ali our 1 schools and colleges, that our young people may be instructed with rc- ' gard to the nature of alcohol, and its efft-cts npon the human system. This 1 is being accomplished by legislative 1 action in some of the Northern States, and should be urged upon Hie attention of our Southern Legis? latures. 4: Temperance literature for chil? dren should be circulated with a hundred fold more energy than at present. Illustrated papers on this line are not numerous. The Nation? al Temperance Society publishes 'The Temperance Banner, which is every way suitable ; but it needs to bc sent broadcast over the country. Our hope is in the children. Let ns set to^wofk earnestly in our homes in our. Sunday schools, in our secu? lar schools, to indoctrinate them with the^prineiples of total abstinence and ?pie next?generation will celebrate the <lay of complete emancipation from the slavery of rum.-J.- M.

I attended the New Jersey convention yesterday at Ocean Grove, and I sighed as I saw the intense interest shown by the women io their 'State paper, and every other department of temperance work.

I hope our District; offi? cers will be able to do the same. There were 225 delegates . besides almost as many visiting members. They met at Mauistee, the home of the great philan? thropist, R. G.

"Vigorous health, and its usual accom? paniment, good spirits, are larger elements of happiness than anything else, and there can bs no rational edu? cation that does not teach it. The very first requisite to success in life, is a good physique, for without good health all things else are empty of eojoyment. The best brain will be of little service if there be not enough vital power to work it. 'Three out of five children die before thc age of nine,' just because Physiol? ogy, Higiene, and Heredity are made to give place in the school and college to studying the languages of extract na? tions, and learning the superstitions of the old Gods. . Colleges are being projected in which" the prospective farmer is to be taught how to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before, and how to im? prove stock. That is all right.

After crushing the grapes, put them into a porcelain kettle when at a boiling heat the juices separate from the pulp andjskins. Thenstrain^^ough a tin seive or cullender, using a lit? tle more water. Add six pounds granulated sugar ; alter the sugar is all dissolved, strain through a thick cloth. Then heat hot and pour im? mediately into strong bottles and seal up tightly while hot. The quality of the grapes makes a great difference in the quantity of wine, and good judgment is neces? sary as to quantity of water added. If properly strained it will bo a clear bright color, and will make three gallons of wine, which if properly Boated in perfect bottles will keep any length of time. 1 have tried the above recipe with entire success, but I think it is bet? ter with less sugar and the grapes 3huuld be ripe Four or five pounds of sugar is sufficient. The wine is very nourishing and beautiful and contains only what is pure and can with safety and consistency be offer? ed to commemorate the sacrifice of the pure, and sinless Saviour of the world.
