HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST?
The inspiring penman has informed us that
if we have not the spirit of Christ we are none
of his.
Upon reading this passage, the question natu-
rally arises in the mind what is it to be like
Christ? What was the spirit he manifested; and
how shall live that may mbibe this temper
and thus meet the Divine appreciation; or is this
altogether unatanable?
No mere mortal ever has arrived to that full
and perfect symmetry of character which the
Saviour exhibited-still it is in tho power of all
mankind to be like him.-There may be his spir-
it in kind if not in measure. When Christ was
upon earth, he was man, possessed Of the
susceptibilities of our nature. He was sensible
to the alterations of heat and cold, and felt like
ourselves hunger and thirst. Indeed he was like
as we are, yet without SIM
But go through his entire existence and you
never in any one instance, find the predominance
of SELF Every feeling, every suborlination to the
fixed purpose of doing good; of advancing the
happiness of the human family, and after follow
ing him from village TO village, and from city to
city, after going with him from the garden of
Gethscmane to the cross of Calvary, we must feel
that the one grand trait, that stood out in the
character ofChrist is the absence of SELF
The question now to be asked in connection
with the cause of temperance is, Have you the
spirit of Christi
Moderate drinker,-you, who are by example
Turing so many unwary souls to certain ruin
have you the spirit of Christie Votaries of fash
ion, have you the spirit of Christ? Think you,
were he now on earth, and amid the bitter tears
wrung from the families of the Incorporate,
think you it would be his spirit to put the wine
bottle upon his table? Think you it would be
his spirit to do this? Would he turn coldIy a.
way from all The misery that is clustering around
the families of the inebriate, without one attempt

JNELLLSHS PATENT PREMIUM
VEGETABLE GUTTER.

THE subscribers manufacture and keep for sale
MELLlSHS VEGETABLE CUTTER. The a
bove machine, designed for cutting vegetables for
cattle and sheep, is operated by hand with perfect
ease. and will cut potatoes, turniPs &c, with great
rapidty. This machine was exhibited at the FAIR
of the American Institute, in n. Y. City, in Oct.
1886, and received Silver Medal, premium.
1t has been used and approved by many OF the far
mers Of New England and New York, which gives
the subscribers great confidence in recommending
it to every farmer.
All orders addressed 10 them at ST Johnsbury,
will be punctually attended to- To those who
have the operation of the macbine nothing
need be said, but those who have not, we will add
other testimony.
st. Johnsbury, VT. Oct II, 1888
The following statement is from a gentleman
who has one of these machines in operation for
some time and recommends them highly:
81 have had one of ''Nleliish s PotatUe Cutters
in use and consderit of the useful
chimes ever invented, and think no farmer, VIII
values the lives of his cattle, his interest,"
should be without one, They will cut more pota-
toes in thin slices in one hour, than could
cut with a knife in two days. l find that potatoes
cut in this machine will boil soft in about half the
time of whole ones, thereby making great saving
of fuel and labor. The machine cuts potatoes,
turnips, cabbage stumps, (squashes and pumpkins
when cut into quarters with spade) with the same
facility and ease shat it does potatoes"
This certies that we have used Melsh's Veg
etable Gutter for two yaars, and recommend ii
to the public as very useful machine, superior to
any thing of the kind within our knowledge.

THE BIRD CATCH
The following lines were written by Kaym

ov eagerly intent on catching bird by me us

GENTLY, gently yet, young s'rauser'
Light of heart and light of heel;
Ere the bird porceivos its danger,
On it slyly steal
SiIence !-ah your scheme is falling
No: pursue your pretty prey
Sec, your shadow on tho paling
Stariles it away,
Hush your step some note is giving
Not whisper-no n breath

And be mute as death
Glide on, ghost-like, still lnclining
Downwards DER it; or, as sure
AS the sun is on us shining,
Twill escape the Iure.
Caution now you er nearer creeping;
Nearer yet-how still it seems
sure, the winged elVSPi"S,
Wrapt in forest-dreams
Golden sights that bird is seeing
Nest of green, OF messy bough;
Not thought it hath of fleeing;
Yes, you catch it now.
How your eyes begin to twinkle
Silence, and you'll scarcely fail
nj of u
Salt upon its tail.
Yes, you have it in your tether,
Never more to skim the skies;
Lodge the salt on this long feather
Ha it flies it flies
Hear it-hark! among the bushes,
Laughing at your idle lures
Boy, the selfsu feeling gushes
Through my heart and yours.
Baffed portsman-childish Mentor,
How have been-hapless fault! =
Led, like you, my hopes to centre
On grain Of salt
Time! thy feather turned to arrows;
for salt have used thy sand,
Wasting it on hopes, like sparrows,
That elude the hand.
On what captures I've been counting,
STOPPING here, and creeping there,
All to see my bright hope mounting
High into the air
Halt my life I've been pursuing
Plans Id often tried before,
Rhapsodies that end in ruin
l, and thousands more.
This, young sportsman, be your warning;
Though you've lost some hours to-day,
Others spend their LIES fair morning
In 70 wiser way.
VIVA, has been my hottest treasurer
What were pc unto my eyes,
Love, and peace, and hope, and pleasuro'
Birds of Paradise
Spirits that we think to capture
BY false and childish scheme,
Until tears dissolve our rapture
Darkness ends our dream
Thus are objects loved the dearest,
Distant as the dazzling star;
And when we appear the nearest,
Farhest off we are.
Thus have children Of all ages,
Seeing bliss before them fly,
Found their hearts but empty cages,
And their hopes-on high

tunes of the brave Hannibal, who subdued the Alps
conquered on the plains of Italy, and carried the
Carthaginian armes to the gates of Rome, and the
downfall of her Government and destruction OF
her city, will bear testimony. Greece mad her
demagogues as the persecution and death of her
good, wise, and Just Socrates will bear evidence,
Rome had her demagogues; and the United States
have their demagogues.
If there is any one abominable thing on the face
of the earth abomnable than another, 1t IS a
riIe demagogue. Kingdoms have been Frustrated,
empires have been dissolved, and republics have
been subVerted by demagogues. The greatest,
the wlSest and the most virtuous men that ever
adorned the human family have been brought to
poverty, persecution, and death by rle demagogues.
! There is no man who now moulders with the
dead who was more slandered and traduced than
has been the statesman the patriot, and the philoso
pher of Monticello, by the riLe demagogues of the
same party to which the member belongs. There
is no man who minges with the living, who has
been more traduced and vilifed by vile demagogues
of the same party, then has been the winterbleach-
ed patriot of the Hermitage, who only lives to
link the living with the dead and to tell the stories
of the Revolution and the sufferings, hardships,
and privatons of our fathers with warm heart,
and with living lips. Can Mr.. Van Buren, then
