ween poor heart-broken widow and

cave his native country, probably for
sver. The history of the poor prisoner
was that Of thousands of others, who
are now following i'm his sad career
When child, he was allowed to have
his own way. When his mother ought
to have firmly, but kindly, enforced
obedience, she foolishly yielded to his
whims. The effects of this unwse
home-training became yearly more and
more apparent. When sent to school,
he was idle and would not learn. He
soon began to play truant. His foolish
mother scolded the master for punish
ing her headstrong boy. With bad
companions, he was soon found robbing
orchards and cruelty treating dumb ami
mails. His career was from bad 10

berry, he was, convicted, and sentenced
to fourteen years penal seryitude. "a

Foreign Religious Items.

The London Patriot, speaking of the
fate impending over the Pope, SAYS
He sits stupefied at the vatican. The
inevitable fourth of December comes
steadily on, he sees the French prepar-
ing to remove, he hears from Paris that
the negotiations respecting the Pont-
fieal debt are progressing satisfactorily;
and still there is no intert osition, no
heavenly intervention, no legions of
angels approaching to his aid.n
There is a movement on foot in Man
chester, England, for closing the pub
lie houses on Sunday. The general
opinion of the English papers IS, that
this cannot be effected that public opin-
ion Is not strong enough in that direc-
ton, to enable the friends of TEMPER
ance and the friends Of the Sabbath TO
carry their measures.
Statistics show that the sect of the
Quakers is somewhat rapidly dying
out in England. They have largely
given up their old fashioned ideas in
Theology. The record of the English
Quakers in respect to benevolence and
humanity is certainly good one. In
the gift of money for the education Of
our freedmen, they stand in advance of
all other denominations in ENGLAND.

temperance.

An Incorporate man was on his
death-bed. He sent for professor of
religion, and said to him, "Do you re-
meeting? 7 was there. l went for the
purpose of signing the pledge. When
it was circulated l kept my eye on you.
thought you knew more about these
things than l did, and if it were good
thing you would give your name and
join it. But you did not, and for that
reason did not. And here | am. |
am about to die, and / want you to
prepare to meet me in the judg-
ment. ..- .ra-.
These words went like a dagger to
that professors heart, and they should
pierce the heart of every one protesting
godliness who stands aloof from the
temperance cause. Every one has in
f1uence, and that influence should be
on the side ofvirtue and piety, on the
side of God and religion. We should
not only avoid the appearance Of evil,
but do all the good in our power. And
IN this view we should be mindful
OF our example and influence. Actions
speak louder than words. BE right
and do right.-Americaa Messenger.

CoRIANDER FOR Cows.-It has been
found that coriander seed is an excel

that the very finest appearing animal

correct this give coriander as follows

WINTER PROTECTION no PLANTS

Of hemlock or otherevergreen branches

SHEEP ESSENTIAL TO Coop FARM
ING.-One thing that struck me very
forcihly was that all farmers testified
that sheep-raising was absolutely in
dispensible to successful farming; that
their manure was necessary to preserve
the fertility of the soil and that with
out them the whole Kingdom would in
few generations be reduced to barren
ness and sterility. 1t is in this view
that l regard sheep-raising in this
country as more important to the ulti.
mate and permanent prosperity of the
country, than on account of their pres
ent profits. Whatever else may hap
pen, we cannot permit this virgin soil
and these beautiful fields of ours to be
reduced to barrenness by the time they
pass into the hands Of our children and
grandchildren. Their fertility must
be preserved at all hazards, even at the
expense of present protit.-Lieut. Coz.

CREAM IN COLD WEATIIER.-For
some reason not know, cream SKINNED
from milk in cold weather does not
come to butter, when churned so quick
ly as that from the same COW in warm
weather. Perhaps the pellicles, which
form the little sacks of butter in the
cream, are thicker and tougher. There
ale two methods of obyiating this
trouble in a great degree. One is, to set
the pan Of milk on the stove, or in some
warm place, az soon as straiied, and let
1t remain until quite warm-some say,
until bubble or two rises, or until q
skim of cream begins to form on the
surface. Another mode is to add tea
spoonful of salt to quart of cream
when it is skinned. Cream thus pre-
pared will generally come to butter in
q few minutes when churned. 1t is
thought the sa 1t acts upon the coating
OF the butter globules and makes them
tender, SO that they break rapidly when
beaten by churning.-Ne,0Y York Times.
