COUSIN JACKS CoURTsHIP
OR, THE LOST WAGER.

The trunks were all packed and corded,
and the carpet-bags were piled up in the
corner of the capacioas old-fashioned hall
How melancholy they looked, those en-
blems of partings and adieus. Not even
the merry laughter of the two or three
yoang girls who were gathered around a
stalwart, handsome fellow of about thirty
could entirely Danish an impalpable some
thing of sadness from the scene. Cousin
Jack was going away, the general mis-
chief maker, tormentor and tease Of the
whole family, and old Mr.. Chester, sitting
by the distant window, wiped his spec
tacles every five minutes and declared,
pettishly, that the type of the evening

Jack, applying himself vigorously to the

There she sat, on the biggest trunk
of the collection, her brown curls hang
ing about her round face, and her eyes
sparkling with curious mixture of fun
and tears.
" I'm not at all certain of that, Miss
Minnie" said Jack, decisively "If |

THE GOINGs FORTH OF GOD
BY oTwAY CURRY.

GoD wALKETH ON THE EARTH The purlng rills
And mightier streams before Him glance away,
Rejoicing in His presence. On the plains,
And spangled fields and in the mazy vales
The living throng of earth before him fall
With thankful hymns, receiving from His hand
Immortal life and gladness. Clothed upon
With burning crowns and mountain-heraIds stand,
Proclaiming to the blossoming wilderness
The brightness of his coming, and the power
OF Him who ever liveth, all in all
COP wALKETH ON THE OCEAN. Brilliantly
The CLASSY waters mirror back His SMILES
The surgng billows and the gamboing storms
Come crouchiI to his feet The heary Deep
And the green gorgeous islands, offer up
The tribute of their treasures-pearls, and shells,
And crown-like drapery of the flashing foam
And solemny the tesselated halls
And coral domes of mansions in the depths,
And gardens of the golden-sanded seas,
Blend, with the anthems of the Ginning waves,
Their allelual unto Him who rules
The invisible armies of eternity
COP JoURSEYETH SKY. From sun to sum-
From star to star the living hghtnings flash;
And pealing thunders through all space proclaim
The goings forth of Him whose potent arm
Perpetuates existence, destroys.
From depth unknown, unsearchable profound
Forth rush the wandering comets girt with flames
They blend in order true, with marshaling hosts
OF starry worshjppers. The unhallowed orbs
Of earth-born fire that cleave the hazy air,
Banched by the flood of uncreated light
Fly with the feeting winds and misty clouds
Back to their homes, and deep in darkness lie.
GoD JoURNEYETH TIE HEAVENS. Refugent stars
And glittering crowns of PROSTATE Seraphim,
Emboss his burning path. Around Him fall
Dread powers dom ions hosts and kingly thrones.
Angels of God-adorng mions-join
With irits pure, redeemed from distant worlds,
In choral songs of praise" Thee adore,
For Thou art mighty. Everlasting spheres
Of light and glory in thy presence wait
Time, space, life, light, dominion majesty,
Truth, wisdom-all thine, Jehovahi Thou
FIEsT, LAST, SUPREME, ETERNAL PoTENTATE!"

How TO SELECT FLOUR First, look
to the color; if it is white, with a yell
lowish, or straw colored tint buy it. II it
is very white, with blush cast, or with
white specks in it, refuse it. Second, ex-
anime its adhesiveness wet and knead a
little oft between your fingers; ifit works
soft and sticky, it is poor. Third, throw
little lump Of dry -four against dry,
smooth pei erpendicular surface, if it falls
like powder, it is bad. Fourth, squeeze
some of the -four in your hand, if it retains
the shape given by the pressure, that too,
is good sign. Flour that will stand all
these tests, it is safe to buy. These
modes are given by old -four dealers, and
they pertain to matter that concern
everybody, namely, the staff of life.

INCREASE OF, RATs.-The Farmers
Gazette (English) asserts and proves by
figures that one pair Of rats will have pro-
geny and descendants amounting to no
less than 65f,050 in three years Now,
unless this immense family can be kept
down, they would then consume more food
than would sustain 65, 900 human beings.
1t will be wiser in the farmer to turn his
attention to the destruction of rats than of
small birds. srg
Certainly it will. Whoever engages in
shooting small birds is a cruel man; who
ever aids in externinating rats is bene-
factor. e.should like some of our cor
respondents to give us the benefit of their
experience in successfully driving out these
pests. We need something besides dogs,
cats and traps for this business.

WASHING CoRN.-The healthfulness
of corn as an article of food is admit
ted by all, yet after it has lain for few
months in a crib infested with rats, mice,
aud other vermin, as is most generally
the case, its palatableness becomes mat,
ter Of taste. For several years we have
been in the habit of washing what corn is
used in the family, and find that it greatly
improves it. Take brass kettle or large
tub half full of nearly boiling water 'put
in your shelled corn and let it remain for
a few minutes, thea stir it briskly with u
paddle, and you will be surprised to see
how much better the puddiags, Indnn
bread, apd Johnny-cakes will be. Some
wash the corn in the ear, bat when the
corn gets wet it is tedious process to
dry it. When shelled it will dry thor
oughly in thirty-six hours. It should be
spread two or three inches deep on some
clean surface, in warm room, or if in
the summer, placed in the open air and
stirred occasionally. "Try it all ye that
