A DREAM OF PEACE.
By NELLIE SPARROW.

What is il we see linen in arms" Yes
truly men in arms, Hundreds, aye, thousands
and now we hear the roar of artillery and mus
kerry, with shouts, groans and cries that pierce
our very hearts. Terrible, and yet more ter
rible grows the battle, while now and then the
almost inaulabIe cry of lost meets our ear
All, can this be war! Can it be that such
scenes as these are taking place; that such cries
and groans have gone out amid the tumull and
clamor of war, and we who are comfortable at
home can read the details with apparent com
pOsure? While our brave ones are falling
wounded, bleeding and dying, can it be that
men who are living in ease at home, while
these brave ones are fighting for their protec
tion, can make complaints of everything that
is being done, make complaints against the
government, aud find fault with those in au-
thority, who are doing all they can to crush
this wicked rebellion, and even 90 so far as to
say peace on any terms, after onr brothers.
sous aud husbands have sacrificed life and have
been drenched in goIc? Can any truly loyal
man say peace on any terms? We think not.
But We have wandered from our dream. LOST
We hear again, while our heart grows faint,
and we tremble as we hear the fatal word. The
battle groscs iercer and Gercer each moment
Thousands fall; all indeed seems lost and dark.
but bark we hear another cry. On brave
boys, on! victory is ours. On gallant fellows,
we win the day! Every heart stands still un-
I'll tie glorious cry goes from moth to mouth,
and then even the wounded and dying revive
at The glorious sound. Now in the vast AS
sembly there appears one above them all, who
siences every tongur. Look, say he, point
ing out before hi;n, "look all We brave and re
joice, for peace shall reign, and ye shall be
blessed among men" Every eye is turned,
every heart throbs with joy, for on the heav-
ems. as though reflected from some victorious
battle fcld, stands thirty four brave and gal
liant soldiers, each bearing triumphant the glo
rioas stars and stripes the brightly polished
lances glittering in the radiant halo of light
that surrounds them, and while they slowly
vanish from our sight, leaving only the beau
tiGul picture deeply imprinted on our hearts,
we hear, as if cbanled by heavenly choirs.
United we stand All hail the glorious stars
and stripes All hull, Freedom, Victory and
Peace"
And now the mighty band of love that was
severed by the fall of many brave and noble
soldiers, would in measure be healed by the
assurance of victory and peace, aud as the
words that sent their echoes through the uni
verse died away, the chains of Slavery were
severed link from link, leaving many hearts
that had been bowed down under their weight,
free to praise Him that doeth all things well,
and from the mighty throng we hear the echo,
All hail, the glorious stars and stripes. All
hail, Freedom. Victory and Peace.

The second proof of the position assumed
arises from the use of different terms 10 the
Hebrew The distinction in the kinds Of wine
is lost sight of in English, because we have
but one general term by which to designate
the juice of the grape. Not that we claim, as
some temperance advocates have unadvisedfy
done, that there is a single distinctive term for
each kind Of wine, and that the distinction is
invariably carried out. But we claim that the
various Hebrew terms aud their use, do con-
firm and establish the position taken, that dlf-
erent kinds Of wine are commended and con-
deInned. No less than nine words ere used to
denote the various kinds Of vinous beverage
referred to in the scriptures. They are these;
Ydgin, which is oil most frequent occurrence,
and is generic term including all kinds OF
wine Tir0sh, also generic term, denoting
wine as it exists in the cluster the press, or the
vat. The other terms are specific: AusiS,
wine as it runs from the press. SO6he, wine
thickened by boiling. Hhamar, red or turbld
wine. Mesech mixed wine--sometimes with
water, sometimes with drugs. S'emartn7'
lees or dregs of wine. EshtSha, cooked wine.
Sheckar, sweet drink from other sources than
the vine. Let us now see how these words are
used in reference to the good and bad wine,
Tirosh, used always to denote the fruit OF
the vine in its natural unfermented state, is
used 36 times in all, and 80 Of these are clearly
with appreciation. One is doubtful and one is
with disapprobation, but not, as the context
clearly shows, for its intoxicating effect, but
simply as being used TO surfeiting. So that
this is but.a seeming exception to the general

orchard and Nursery.

The open season will probably
allow of early work in this depart
ment. Send orders to the nursery
man as soon a selection canbe made.
This is likely to be busy month in
the nursery, and the nursery man
should be prepared with everything
that will facilitate his springs busi-
ness.
APPLE TREES. Scrape the trunks
of old trees, and wash with strong
solution of soft soap or weak lye.S
Plant early. See If there is not
some unoccupied spot that viii adj
nit tree. The list of varieties de-
termined by the Fruit Growers
meeting will be too late for this
months paper, but will appear in
April. There are certain Standard
sorts that are good everywhere, and
others have been proved by your
neighbors. Plant largely of the
best market varieties and fewer of
the fancy sorts for home use.
GRATING. This may be done
with cherries. Other fruits should
be left until next month. Root
graft ng, if not already finished,
should be completed and out of the
way of other work. IF you are so
unfortunant as to have an orchard
of poor unnatural fruit, make prep
arations to graft it with good SORTS,
If the cutting Of cions has been neg
lected until now, attend to it at
once, and keep themin earth or
sand until wanted,
INSECTS. No trees should be-
sent from the nursery or planted,
that are covered with scales. Fhe
moths of some destructive worms
ascend the trunks during the pres
ent month. Paper smeared with
tar mixed with oil enoug to keep it
soft, and tied around the trees, Will
arrest a great number.
MANURE. Ground for planting
should be prepared with well de-
composed manure. The practice of
surface manuring fruit trees is grow
ing in favor. The soluble portions
are carried down by rains, and the
course material is left as a mulch.

Finally, total abstinence is the only efftctu.
al cure for drunkenness Other plans aud the
ories have utterly and awiully failed. Total
abstinence is the hope of the world, and it is
also the solemn but sadly neglected doctrine
of the Bible. 1t has been long aud ably ad-
vocated on the ground OF expedency and on
this ground it has accomplished wonders
But this argument is two weak to accomplish
the whole work done. 1t is too superficial a nd
everescent in its effects. 1t requires too con-
slant and high Il pressure to make it effective.
In word it does not go to the bottom of the
matter it does not get hold of the hearts and
cnnseiences of men. II is high time the more
potent argument contained in the authoritative
word Of God were brought TO bear upon men,
In this way only can the awful evil and sin of
drunkenness be effectually checked. In this way
only can total abstinence be permanently ef-
fectually and completely maintained.
The Church of Jesus Christ is Gods appoin-
ted agency for the renovation and salvation Of
world, and until the solemn truth of Gods
word on this subject gets hold of the hearts
and consciences Of christian people, / can
have no certain hope of victory in the cause
God grant that this may soon be the case
that soon Gods word may cease to be pervert-
ed and the truth on this important subject may
get firm hold on the hearts Of all christian
people. Then will drunkenness be vanished
from the earth as the Church of Jesus Christ
advances to her final aud glorious triumph.

Many farmers contend that there
is really no advantage in feeding at
one time more than another. But
those who have been accustomed to
feed sheep grain, and who have OBJ.
served their movements, viii agree
with me, that morning is not as
good as noon or evening, for feed
ing grain.
There are several good and phi
losopoical reasons In favor Of feeding
grain, roots on apples to sheep, at
noon, rather than in the morning or
evening. We will state few of
them:
1st. If grain be fed in the NOR.
ming, before sheep have taken their
feeding of hay or cornstalks, there
is such a rush of the stronger ones
that the weaker sheep do not usual
ly get their proportion, while those
that do not need as much as some
others, swallow, unmasticated, more
than their allowance. But by feed
ing grain at noon, the sheep get
their appetites partially satisfied,
and the weaker ones become more
inclined to stand up for their rights
at the trough, whereas, in the NOR
ming, they are often not much IN
clined to move.
End. Another reason why noon
is better than morning for feeding
grain or roots, is, sheep need to be-
fed often, and but little at time.
Every good shepherd will agree with
me in this. If their hay or corn
stalks be fed in the morning, with
out grain, they viii be more likely
to eat it all clean; whereas, if they
get feeding OF grain or roots, their
appetItes are partially satisfied, and
they will select the most choice por.
tions of their fodder and leave the
coarsest darts, which will never be
eaten. But, by requiring them to
eat their coarser fodder first and
the dainties afterwards, fodder will
be consumed more economical than
if grain were fed first.
Bird. Another plausible reason for
feeding grain at noon is, the grain
will be mingled more thoroughly in
the stomaches of the animals, with
the coarse fodder which they have
eaten; and therefore, when their
cuds rise, every portion of their
food becomes more thoroughly mas
ticated; consequently more nutri-
ment will be extracted from given
amount of food.
On the contrary, if grain be fed
when their stomachs are nearly emp
ty, it will be more liable to remain
III one mass at one side of the stom-
ach, than it otherwise would were
it eaten after the stomach had been
filed with hay, straw or cornstalks.
When we feed unground Indian
corn to neat cattle for example,
many of the kernels viii settle to the
lower side of the stomaches, and
will never rise with the cuds and
consequent, will pass through the
animals undigested. And / have
never been able to perceive why this
theory will not hold good with
sheep as with other rumigating an
imals. I belive however, that it is
admitted that no grain
will pass through sheep undigested.
But Notwithstanding this admitted
fact, it cannot be denied, that it
will be better to have the grain min
gled with other food, than to feed
it separately. S. e. TODD.
