The BIRDS OF SFRING.-The songs
of the robin and the blue-bird are al
ready beginning to be heard in the vi
cinity OF Boston--denoting the arrival
of spring These little warblers are
always welcome-and we envy not
the feelings of the man or woman who
can listen to the carols of the birds of
Spring without delight. But thesong
of these innocent chorusters is the sig.
nal to some unfeeling bipeds to get
ready their weapons of war. We hard
ly know of a more unpleasant sight
than to behold a beardless youth or
a full-grown man, traversing fields and
meadows, in the spring Of the year,
with gun on his shoulder, and trying
to crafty his destructive propensities
by shooting the robins, the blue birds,
the sparrows, and others of the Ieath-
cred tribe, who soothe us with their
Joyous songs, and render sOmuch SER
vice to the farmer by destroying nox-
ious insects. Were it not for fear Of
being hauled over the Goals for break
ing the peace, we would go as far
to kick one of these fellows as John
Randolph would have gone to kick a
sheep.--BostOn Journal.

KINDNESS TO THE AGED young
friends let me claim your kindness for
the old. They are well entitled to
your sympathy. Through this bright
world they move mistily, and though
they rise as soon as the birds begin
to sing, they cannot hear the music.
Their limbs are stiff, their senses
dull, and that body which was once
their beautiful abode and their willing
servant, has become a cage and a
heavy clog, and they have outlived
most of those dear companions with
whom they once took sweet counsel.
"One world deceased, another born, ...
Like Noah they behold,
Der whose white hair and fnnowed bgOwsN
s Too many SIMS have TOlled."
Make it up then as well as you
can. Be eyes to the blind and feet
to the lame. On their way to the
sanctuary be their supporting staff
and though it may need an extra
effort to convey your words into their
blunted ear, make that effort; for
youth is never so beautiful as when
it acts as guardian angel or a min
istering spirit to old age. Andshould
extreme infrmity or occasional fret
tulness, try your patience, remember
that to all intents you were once the
same and may be the same again, in
second childhood as in first, the debtor
of Others patience and tenderness,
and magnanimityr-H HGmiltOn's ROyal
Preacher.

MACHINE PRAY1NG.-The Tartars,

call iChu-hor, that is t'turning pray

in running stream, and are set in mo-
tion by the aRater, or by the current
of air that comes in through the tent
door, and in either place the little in
strument goes on praying day and
night, for the peace and prosperity Of
the family or persons who placed them
there. HowlEery eOaVenient thesema-

Wesleyans during his lifeh 1t was in
eorPofated into the discipline of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in the
United States, and constituted the
entire bodies of Methodists In the old
and new world, temperance societies,
on the principle Of entire abstinence
from ardent spirits. 5.J p.I
The original rule of Mr.. Wesley
was incorporated in the General Rules
Of the English Methodist in 1743, in
these words: ' ''''''.'e' IN
ihIt Is expected that all who con.
tinue in these societies, will evidence
their desire Of salvation by avoiding
drunkenness, buying and selling spir-
ituous liquors, or drinking them ex-
cept in case Of necessity"
In 1888, the following rule was
adopted by the Methodist societies in
the United States, in the form Of ques.
ton and answer. :,.
Quest;on.-"Should our friends be
permitted to make spirituous liquors,
sell, and drink them in drams?",i y 2
Ans.--''By no means; we think it
wrong in its nature and consequence;
and desire all our preachers to teach
the people by precept and example tc
put away this evil "A' tt'' "
In 1884 Mr.. Wesley's rule was in.
corporated in the general rules of the
M. E. Church in America. In 1895,
the following section was adopted, and
Incorporated in their discpline:-
ofths sale and use Of .pirituQus liquors,
"SEo. 1O.-If any member of our
society retail or give spirituous liquors,
and anything disorderly be transacted
under his roof on this account, the
preacher who has the oversight of the
circuit shall proceed against him as
in the case of other immoralities; and
the person accused shall be cleared,
censured, suspended or excluded, &C.
cording to his conduct, as on other
charges of immortality"
Bishops Coke and Ash6ury, then
the general superintendents of the
Methodist societies in America, ir
their "Notes on the discipline, >, re.
mark on this section:--
"Far be it from us to wish or en-.
deayor to intrude upon the proper,
civil or religious liberty of any OF our
people. But the retailing Of spiritu.
GUS liquors, and giving drains to Gus
toners, when they call at their stores,
are such prevalent customs at pres
ent, and are productive of SO many
evils that we Judge it our indispensa-
Bile duty to form regulation against
them. The cause of God, which we
prefer to every other consideration
under Heaven, absolutely requires us
to step forth with humble boldness in
this respect" 4na
This section continued until 1740,
when it was stricken out, as seeming
to sanction the practices for which it
made regulations, and in 1890 the
general rule was changed to read
drunkenness, or drinking spirituous
liquors, unless in cases of necessity" "
leaving out the "buying and sell
ing. But in 1848 the "rule" in its
original form was re-established.
