MAN is like snow ball. Leave him lying
in idleness against the sunny face Of prosperi

but kick him around and he gathers strength
with each revolution, until he grows into an
avalanche.
ALoEs is said to be on excellent thing TO
destroy insects on trees. Washing their
trunks with solution of aloes affects the
leaves sufficiently to prevent insects eating
them. 1t is believed many plants may be
divested Of them by watering with solution
OF aloes, Swinging roses With it will kill the
slug. For solution, take one ounce of aloes
to two gallons Of water. 1t dissolyes best in
warm water.
ONLY SIXTEEN YEARS OLD.-It is Just six
teen years since Professor Morse put up the

two hours in advance OF the mail"
| The loss of life and property in the West
by the recent tornado is enormous. As far
as ascertained, the lives sacrificed humber
nearly $50, and the amount of property de-
stroyed is more than million Of dollars.
| The SCRIPTURE Rule AS TO DIVORCES -
! The Methodist Conference now in session at
| Buffalo, n. Y, has resolved that the mar
riage relation cen only be dissolved by
violation of the seventh commandment or by
death, and that o subsequent marriage by
either party while both are living, is contra
ry to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures.
DuTIEs.-EVery man ought to pay his debts
If he can. Every man ought to help his

ought to get married-if they can. Every
man should should do his work to suit his
customers-if he can. Every man should
please his wife if he can.

One night as old 81. Peter slept
He left the door of Heaven ajar,
When through little angel crept,
And came down with u falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened FROM pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more;
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing bis way to that blessed shore,
And find the door Of Heaven again.
