TIE Lord THEY NEVER HEARD OF. Grant
Tho'nburn -" Laurie Todd "-aprears now
and then in New York paper with rcmin-
iScence or a bit of an old story. Here is his
last.
In l774, DR.. Webster was peculiar
preacher Of the Kirk of Scotland Ednburg.
Business brought him to London, and one
day when passing the House of Lords, his Gu
rioSltr induced him to make an effort to step
in and see them. None were admitted with
out AN order. except no5lcman's servants.
Webster being ignorant of the rule requested
admittance. What Lord do you belong to =
said the doorkcepcr. ITO the Lord Jeho
yah, y replied Webster. The Lord Jeho
yah, - repeated the keeper" have kept here
seven years, but have never heard of such a
Lord z" " Jack, said he to his felow.k keep
or on the front steps, " here's chap who
says he belongs to the Lord jehovah: do you
know such Lord e. - Never heard Of
him., says Jack But" said Webster
willing to keep up the illusion). s. there is
such n Lord. " Pass i'm in" said Jack
II 'Spose it's some poor Scotch Lord"
This occurred at period when there was
not one in twenty of all the manufacturing
and rural districts in England who could read
the Bible or write his own name. Sabbath
schools were introduced 1888.

KEEPING CABBAGEs. There are variety
OF good methods Of keeping them for family
use. Storing them in the house cellar is the
worst. 1t is always too warm for them, the
outer leaves drop off they then crack open
and rot, making an unpleasant odor from
cellar to garnet Better throw litter over
them and let them stand in the garden, than
to do this.
Where yon want to keep them only few
weeks the heads may be cut off and put in a
common flour barrel, sunk half way in the
earth The top OF the barrel should be kept
as closely covered as possible to prevent any
changes in The temperature inside. The
heads Will bear very hard freezing. if the
frost is drawn out gradually.
They may be kept in trench laying the
heads upon board in the bottom, and cover
ing with earth a foot deep or more The OBJ.
lection to this method is, that they are
inaccessible. when the ground is frozen hard.
The best method, on the whole. is heelng
| them in, on the north side of fence or bu,l
ding where they will have as little sun as
possible
Dig trench foot dee? by the fence the
length proportiuncd to the number ofcahhages
You desire to store Put in the cabbages,
and cover roofs and Stumps with earth, max
ing second trench Tor a second row of heads
and 50 on. until the whole Is finished. The
nearer square they are left, the less it will
take to cover them. Place rails or small
poles over them, so that they sha II not rest
on the heads and cover with any old straw
or litter, foot deep. In mild weather VEN
tilate. by removing the litter you can al.
ways get at the heads, and remove lew or
many as suits your convenience. Some mar
ket gardeners keep their cabbage in this way
until April. - Agr,cult,rist.

The kindly atmosphere of home was the
scene for her full development she Lad
forgotten the one stranger present, who
was quietly sitting in the shade of a
pillar; she was by turns the liveliest of
the party, and yet, as from her humble
seat on the porch step she lifted up her
dewy eyes to that fair moon, as those
sweet songs fingered over her lips, she
seemed Of all her hearers most deeply
impressed. This was the secret charm
of her music: it came swelling from her
heart, and SO found ready entrance to
the hearts Of those who heard her.

them with a programme comprising some of the
best productions Of the old and the new cornpo-

piece, the performers were vociferously encored;

applause In the midst Of the song.

mands OF the audience were repeated, and the
utmost delight was felt by all at the exc uisite
rendition OF some Of the musical gems Of Never
