THE DEW.

IT clouds are necessary to produce
rain, sunshine is an essential to tho
formation OF dow. A dewy morning
only follows day whose sun has well
warmed up tho Garth. II is necessary
that the hoat should readily radiute
into tho surrounding atmosphere by
night. When the surface of tho oartI
thus cools down moro rapidly than
tho incumbent air about it, and when
the air, is saturated with moisture
then, by the contact of temperatures
tho mir becomes unable TO retain its
moisture, and yields its sprays and
vapors TO 10 shaped by n natural law
the same which rounded the world
out of chaos and orbed the universe
and then what was invisible bccome es
visible in drops Of settling dow. So,
whenever dow is seen to fall, there
must first have been n flowing down
of sunshine in the day, and then q
responsive current Of warmth Uprising
in tho night, toward tho region
whence it oame. The earth receives
and yet returns the heat the heavens
gave, and MS if to reward such graft
tude, the dow desconds to refresh and
gladdcn its besecching and thankful
breast.
So, when peoples hearts ere hard
and dry, and desolato, it may bo be-
cause they lack responsiveness to
heavens gifts-for want of gratitude
for tho light and privilege which have
shone upon them all their days.
Teachers, if they would SEQ their
classes bright and happy, and parents,
if they would havo glowing summer
in their homes, and have young hearts
themselves, should be open.souIed and
thankful, and tca"h tho children how
to be grateful for daily blessings
Then would sun.warmth from tho
better world be taken in through the
gauze of form, and task, and habit,
and fashion then, because each heart
would be flower instead of flint, grass
instead of granite, fruit instead OF
fossil; then would the poarly dew
drops of glory glitter oil over a school
and oil through faulty, like an i'm
mortal morning.-Reu. Il. Clark.

GOOD FARMING,

"Farming is poor business" Yes,
poor farming is very poor business !;
but good farming is as good a bnsi-
ness, at present prices, as I want, and
w'thal as pleasant. A good farmer
raises sixty bushel of corn por acre,
instead of thirty bnshels. He doub.
les the crop and realises fve times
the profit. His land is ;cleaner, and
ho has twice tho amount of fodder to
feed out, and makes twice the amount
of manure, and this doubles his ,fu-
ture crops and quadruples his profit.
His land is getting richer and richer,
while in the other case it will Re like.

HOW LONG WE MIGHT LIVE

Professor Faraday adopts F;ourin's
physiological theory that tho natural
age of a man is ono hundred years.
The duration of the life ho believes to
DO measured by the time of growth.
Whom once the bones and eiphysis
are united tho body grows no more,
and at twenty years, this union is
effected in man. IN the camel it takes
pluco at eight; in tho horse at five :;
In tho rabbit ut ono. The natural
termination of lifo is fve removes
from these several points. Man, bo-
ing twenty years in growing, lives five
times twenty years, that is, ono hun.
dred; the camel is eight years in
growing, and lives Eve times eight
years; that is 10 say forty years the
horse is five years in growing; and he
lives twenty-five years and so with
other animals. The man who does
not die Of sickness lives everywhere
from eighty to one hundred years.
Providence has given to man ccntu.
ry of life, but he does not attain to it
because he iohcri.s disease, cats un-
wholesome food, gives license to pas
sions, and permits vexations, 10 dis
turb his healthy cquipoise. lie does
not die; ho kills himself.
The learned professor also divides
life ihto equa halves, growth and de:
cline, and halves into infancy, youth,
vir;lity, and age. Infancy extends to
the twentieth year; youth to the
fiftieth, because it is during this pori.
cd the tissues become firm; virility
from fifty to seventy.dve, during
which tho Organism romans complete,
and at sevonty-dve old age common,

LITTLE THINGS IN FARMING.

Tie whole success of farmor hin
gcs upon timoly attention to little
things. This, mainly, mukcs the diff
teret.ce between thrift and poverty.
Tho philosophy of SUCCESS it express
Cd in that old adagc, "For want of n
nail shoe was lost, for want of a
shooa horse was lost, for want of n
horse man was lost" 1t is n little
thing to keep accounts of pccuniary
transactions upon tho farm. A half
hour Saturday evening would enable
most farmers 10 know just how they
stand with tho world. Yet, wo sus.
poet, half of the men who cultivate
tue soil never make an entry in tho
book, and for tho want of this the
account runs up fearfully at the store
and many articles Of luxury arc pur.
chased for which they arc unable to
pay at tho end of the year. Debt
accun.uIatcs, tho farm is mortgaged,
and finally lost, for tho want of q
litllo paper and ink. 1t is a liltlo
thing TO put up tool in its place when
not it in use, Yet many have no tool

pIcmcct or vehicle. Things are left
where last used, tho plow in tho fold

the rukcs in tho corn.criL. Many do
not even house tho expensive implo-
mems they have bought, and roapcrs
and thrashols are treated like old
plows and harrows. The parts made
OF iron aud steel grow rusty, aud the
wood decays. A machine that is
good for thirty years with proper
care, is used up in fvo by abuse. 1t
is n very little thing to turn u nut
when it is loose. Yet for want of
tightening the nut is lost; tho bolt
comes out; and tho loaded wagon
breaks down on the road 10 market,
and.n wlo'o days time for man and
team is lost 1t is a little thing to
keep horse properly groomod; yet
for The want of clan fetlocks the
skin craks aud the horse is lame, and
the owner looses the nse of him for
months or weeks. Ventilation is a
small affair; yot for the want of it
the health OF stock in stables suffers
severely, and disease sets in. II is
small affair to provide good use at tho
beginning of the year; but the whole
success of tho season depends upon it
1t is an easy thing u deal fairly
with your neighbors, AMI make
name that is better than "precious
ointment" Many cheat on small oc-
casions; do not deliver what thoy
sell, and get reputation for moan
ness that stands in the way of their
success.

THE GULF STREAM.-There is a
rivor in the ocean. In tho severest
drouths it never fails, and in the
mightiest floods it never overfiows
Its banks and it's bottom arc of cold
water, while its current is of warm.
The Gulf of Mexico is it's fountain,
and its mouth is in tho Arctic seas.
1t is the Gulf stream. There ia in the
world no other 30 majestic f,w of
water. It's curront is more rapid
than the Mississippi or the Amazon,
and its volume more than a thousand
times greater. Its wators, oven far
out from the Carolina coast, are of IN
indigo blue. They are 80 distinctly
marked that tho line of junction with
the common sea-water may be traced
by the eye. Often one.half of tho
vessel may be perceived floating in
the Gulf Stream water while the 9th.
or half is in the common water of the
sea, so sharp is the line end the want
of affinity between these waters; and
such, too, tho reluctance ESQ to speak J
on the part of those of the Gull
Stream to 'mlngle with the com mon
water Of the sea. In addii m to this
there is another peculiar fact. The
fsnermon on the coast of Norway ARE
supplied with wood from the tropics
by the Gulf Stream. Think of The
Arctic fishermen burning upon tbei,

Ihe British and Foreign Bible Society

lie following is summary of bis labor
iu distributing the Holy Scriptures in that
country: "The circulation in 1865
amounted 10 about 1900 copies of Bibles.
1eStament' and portions. In 1867, on
account OF the civil struggle in the coup-
try when the depot was closed for come
mouths, and business in the city entirely
suspended, less than 1000 copies we're
disposed Of The circulation this year
will probably exceed that Of 1866. The

exceptional, compared with other Countries:

OF 2so miles, but generally to other parts
