ONE BY ONE.


One bv one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one bright gifts from Heaven
JOYS are sent thee here below,
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them 60
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's dark sorrow;
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not lingcr with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond;
Nor the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but one by one
Take them, less the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

A WEATHER SIGMA Paris correspondent of
the Philadelphia Bulletin, speaking of an eccentric
old woman there says:
The old lady invariably takes note of the weather
on each of the twelve days that follow Christmas
day, and carefully records whether it has been cold
mid, fair, rainy or changeable. According to her,
these twelve days typify the twelve months of the
new year, each of which reproduces the weather of
its corresponding day. The lady does what she
says her father and grandfather did before her, and
during the course of three quarters of a century
which her personal observation have extend
ed she has never known her criterion to fail.

CURING HAMs.-Let the hog hang long enough
in the open air to get perfectly cool through Lc-
fore cutting. When the ham is cut, put one large
tablespoonful of saltpcre on each ham, and rub in
well on the feshy side, especially near the hip
joint, and let it lie for ten or twelve hours; then
rub it in well with blown salt, and pack it away,
and let it remain about as many days as the ham
will weigh pounds; then take it up, and wash
clean in water and before it dries sift on as
much powdered black pepper as will stick to the
feshy parts; hang It up. and let it remain for
or three days, or until it is dry. Then smoke it
well with green hickory or oak, the former some
what preferable. And occasionally during the
year, when the weather is damp have smoke rails
ed under it, and it will not become buggy.

HOW TO GET RELIGION.

At one of the prayer meetings at Bur-

said.
We are strongly impressed with the
idea that there should not be occasion
for Sc much individual labor as there is.
He could conceive the necessity of it in
healhen country. where the Gospel is
proclaimed for the first time; but here.
where the truths OF Christianity have
been so long and repeatedly taught
where we have heard little else-it
seemed 10 him men did not need. in this
respect, to so through with another train

But there are many who lay out q
plan for being converted, by suPposing
that they must be serious for tHo or
three days, then have a week of being
anxious, and then finally go through
He'll Gate and become a Christian 1t
was, he thought, a shame for man 10
lay cut such a plan. A man should
take his lesoIuiisn, and act upon it at
once.
Th.re was an idea that unless there
was some leader in The case, a deacon
or clerg! man. a mans conversion
could not be complete; bu; he believed
That Christianity was between a mans
heart and his God, and that he needed

READING ALOUD There is no treat

distinct ujlerance, whines, drones,
nasal twangs, cultural notes, hesi.
tations, and other vices of elocution, are
almost universal. Why it is. no one can
say unless it be that either the pulpit, or

the style, in these days. Many lady
