The First Step.

There is an old Latin motto, often
quoted, which is designed to convey
in concise language lesson OF vast
importance-obsta principiis: resist
the beginning. However insignificant
the fault may be, however slight the
departure from the strict line Of rec
titudc, if we are careful not to take
the first in the downward course, we
are safe. II there be no first error,
there certainly can be no second. -
On the other hand, if we yield to the
first temptation, we shall be less able
to resist the second. The indulgence
We have already showed prepares us
for another. Gradually and moro
easily than we are apt to suppose
habits are formed; and that which
might have been so readily at the be-
ginning has become chain that
binds us in cruel bondage.
The traveller on the Alpine hight
amused himself with setting in motion
q small mass Of snow; ere long an
avalanche spread ruin through the
smiling vale beneath. The children
at play on the Holland dyke were dc.
lighted to guide the escaping rill in
to mimic waterfalls, which their lit
tie hands controlled at will; ere long
mighty tide red over the fields
its deyastatinf floods. The first
oath-the first theft the first un-
truth-the first Sabbath dissertation
how easy it seemed to the wander
er to retrace his step, and regain the
straight path from which he has only
begun to swerve! Was ii easy?--
Alas! almost impossible. The first
ungentle word, wounding the heart
of a friend, how easy it had been to
repregs altogether how slight the
sclC-control Il would have required;
and how wide the breach, how sadly
enstranged the hearts that one loved
so tenderly, that conflded so trust
fully! That frst evening which wit
messed our neglect OF Bible, our omis-
sion OF prayer--to what n long, weary
dcclension it led the way! All, tempt
ed hearts! let us resist the first in

FattenInu poultry.

1t is of no use to put up a skeleton
and expect to make a fine, fat, tender
meated fowl of it by feeding in con-
tinement. Fattening is adding fat to
lean. You must have the lean laid
on while the bird is running at liber-
ty. No amount of feeding will make
hard, old fowl tender. If hen il
over ten months she may as well be
ten years. She has passed the age
for the table. She is old at ten
months and ought not to be palmed
off as a chicken.
Four months, or at most five
months, is old enough to take chick
ems for the table, and if you take them
at that age, in good 6eshy condition,
three or four weeks of conflement
ought to bring them into first rate
condition for the table. If they are
going to market they may be crowded
to advantage, but for home consump-
tion it is not needed. If you make
a coop big enough for fifteen or TWEEN.
ty fowls and put four or FIVE into it
they will not readily fatten. They
have too much room. To fatten rap
idly they must not have room to
move about freely, but simply enough
to stand and SHIFT their position.
They ought to be fed three times n
day. Indian meal or dough is one of
the best articles of food to lay on fat.
Oatmeal mixed with milk is also
first rate. Either substance should
be fresh mixed each time and no
more ought to be given tn will be
eaten up at the time. If you give
too much the bird will overfeed, or
become cloyed, that is, the appetite
is destroyed, and the food gets sour,
and if the fowl does not take a de-
cided dlstaste to it, it will not thrive
upon it.
Feed fattening fowls at daybreak
in the morning. Cover them up
warm at night and protect them from
cold during the day. Feed regular
ly, never on stale food. Never sub
ject them to draughts of air. Never
place them where they can see other
fowls running about. In these cir
cumstanccs they will fatten beauti-
fully in three weeks, and there is no
known process by which they can be
kept healthy after they are well fat
tened. Begin then three weeks be-
fore you want to kill. Calculate the
number the coop will hold, and fill it
so full that the fowls can do but lit

flesh while fowls are running at large.

All this while the drawing room

with Hope close to il, listening to
what was passing. A whole world OF
feelings possessed her by turns-fear
Of her father, fear for Grantley, and
shame at the false position in which
her self will and cowardice together
had placed him something, too, that
was more than admiration at the
constancy with which he had borne
such pain and indignity that he might
keep faith with her, and kind OF
dawning idea that what she had done
had after all, been sin and a dis
honor, and that confession would de,
grade her forever-all these thoughts
and feelings passed through her mind
by turns, and held her motionless
and silent, with ever the bitter recol-
lection that Grantley was but n poor
relation at the best, and that the dis.
tance between them was immeasura-
bic, running like sorrowtul refrain

of giving him in charge, and called

she came out into the hall.

she had ever willingly done so.

Condensed Air as n Motive Power.

1t will be interesting to mechanics
to hear that condensed air is to be
tried as a motive power on stseet
cars between Albany and West Troy
A car will he ready in few days for
the experiment. The Troy Times
says: "rhe air is to be compressed
at each end of the route, and placed
in rcservoirs--which took like ex.
aggerated soda fountains. The res.
ervoirs are to be cast ir, II, and able
to resist a pressure of three hundred
pounds to the square inch. Each
car is to be supplied with one or
more of these reservoirs at each end
OF the route--tle compressed air on
each car being sufficient to run dis.
tancc of ten miles. The compressed
air is to be applied TO cranks on the
cars in n manner similar to steam,
and is to he regulated by governors,
that uniform rate of speed may be
maintained at all times. With com.
pressed air it Is supposed that the
cars may be run at an expen O not
exceeding two dollars day ch.-
This would prove vast saving to
the road, and in the end would rev
olutionize street railroad manage
ment."
If by the use o! air as motive
power the conductor can run the
machine and take up the fare, letting
his passengers in and out ut one door
of the car, there will be something
gained in this particular. The street
railroads OF this city will not admit

The Tenth Commandment.

"Thou shalt not covct," said all
the boys IN a breath, and then each
one repeated it from beginning to
end.
"That means. You mustn't wish for
things that don't belong to'you," said
Frank.
81 don't see how you can help itl'
exclaimed Sam. 81 see heaps of
things every day that | want"
"There are two w'.Ts of wishing,"
exclaimed the teacher. "We may
wish for things which we cannot get
but in an improper and dishonest
way; or we may wish for things we
may ask for, or buy, or earn. One
way is wrong, and the other is right.
One way will make us industrious
and careful, in order to obtain what
We want, and the other will lead to
dishonesty and crime. i will tell
you n story to explain this: When
was teaching school up North, one
afternoon | put some money into my
desk; there we a bill and five cent
piece. At recess the scholars played
touch and.run in the room. My desk
was a little way open, and the boys,
as they ran past it, could see the lit
tie piece of money, which was new
and bright. One boy, named Wal
do, stopped and look 1 at it. That
made him want it suppose; for, after
he had ran past the desk three or
four times, ! saw him put IN his hand,
take it out, and slip it into his pock,

"IIc coveted, and broke the tenth,
and stole and broke the eighth" said
Sam.

scholars OF The money had lost, and

who had done the wicked act might

the five cent piece. But Waldo dad

1t was an hour after school and the
