Domestic Happiness.

While travelling, few years since, |
was detained some days in one of our
Western cities. My room overlooked a
lane or alley-way, in which were several
houses occupied by the better class of
artizans, and l became much interested
in one of these, so much, that no sooner
did hear a glad shout from little
voice, than | knew it was meal time, and
e" Daddy was coming" and took up my
point of observation in harmless and adj
miring scrutiny of the well-governed
house. On the way in, the father raised
the rejoicing child in his arms, and gave
it two or three resounding smacks; an
other one had crept to the door sill, and
this was lifted also, and its little cheek
laid tenderly upon the shoulder, which
was hunched up to bring it close to that
of the fathers. By this time the wife
had brought bowl of water, and a
white, coarse towel, then she took the
children down, applying also sundry
pats, now on the shoulder of the little
ones, and now on the broad, fatherly
ones; and while the husband gave last
rub of the hard, rough hands, he
stretched out his neck and kissed the
pretty, girlish wife, who would be hover
ing near him. They said grace, they
dined at the plain, wholesome board, and
more than once l found myself waiting
them benediction with the tears in my
eyes. 1t is so british to pass without a
word of recognition of the Great Giver.
The husband was grave man, and the
wife lively, CHEEKY one, neat as new
pin, and very chatty. l thought them
wonderfully well matched, for there was
no moroseness in the man, nor levity in
the woman, and when Sunday came, and
the little household, dressed in all their
6nery, baby and all, went out to church,
it was sight to behold.-Mrs. b. Cakes
Smith.

faithful love that ought to be found in
every woman's heart, the unfailing sym
pathy with all her children's griefs. When
see children going to their father for
comfort, | am sure there is something
wrong with their mother.
Let the memories of their childhood be
as bright as you can make them. Grant
them every innocent pleasure in your
power. We have often felt our temper
rise to see how carelessly their little plans
were thwarted by older persons, when a
little trouble on their part would have
given the child pleasure, the memory OF
which would last a lifetime. Lastly,
don't think child hopeless case be-
cause it betrays some very bad habits
We have known children that seemed to
have been born thieves and liars, so early
did they display these undeniable traits,
yet we have lived to see these same chill
dren become noble men and women, and
ornaments to society. We must confess
they had wise, afectionate parents. AND
whatever else you may be compelled tC
deny your child by your circumstances il
life, give it what it most values, plenty
of love.-Episcopal Methodist.

Agricultural Statistics.

The March report of the department of agri-
culture, relating to farm animals, shows slight
increase during the year in horses, mules, cat
tie, and mich cows, and decrease in sheep
The New England States exhibit decrease of
from six to thirteen per cent. in swine; the
Southern States from five to twenty five, except
Arkansas and Tennessee, which give an increase
of twenty three and twelve per cent, respec.
lively Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin, show
slight decrease; Indiana and Michigan, no ma
terial change; Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Ne
braska, an increase. A diminution in numbers
of sheep is noticed in every State except New
Jersey, Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Idaho, and Nebraska
The decrease in prices is more marked than in
numbers, amounting in many States to a reduc-
ton of thirty to forty per cent. The aggregate
decrease is not less than thirty-fve millions of
dollars, averaging nearly dollar per head. A
reduction is noticed in prices of horses and mules
in every section of the country in comparison
with those of last year. The decline is more
apparent in the Southern States than elsewhere,
owing to the gloomy state of feeling in the cotton
section when returns were made. The price of
cattle is reported higher than last year in many
of the States with the exception of mich cows,
which have very generally decreased in value.

Cooking Without Fire.

There is a place in Oregon called the
Smoky Valley, where the people have a
very curious way of cooking. They do
not have the trouble of making a fire
every morning when they wish to get
breakfast. They just walk out with their
kettles, coffee pots, and whatever else
they need, and cook at the boiling springs.
The water seems great deal hotter than
common boiling water, and all they need
to do is to hang their kettles in it a short
time, and their food is nicely cooked
They are able even to bake in it, The
bread is put into tight saucepan, and
lowered into the boiling food for an hour
or two, and then drawn up most exqui-
sitely baked, with but thin rim of crust
over it. Meat is cooked here. and beans,
which are the miners great luxury. 1t
takes but minute to cook eggs, or to
make pot of coffee or tea; but if there
should chance to be "slip between the
cup and the lip, the food would be gone
beyond recovery.
Who can tell the unknown depths to
which they would descend? How fear
full it seems to contemplate these vast I'M
derground fires, of which we only catch
glimpses here and there, over the face of
the earth. There are many wonderful
things in these far off lands, which later
ages will, no doubt, be as familiar with, as
We are with Niagara Falls. What re-
sort the Smoky Valley would be, if it
were only within reach of our railroads,
and in country free from the attacks of
savages. No doubt there are still greater
wonders, which no eye has ever seen, I'M
less it be that of the red man. But God
made and sees them all, and no doubt
every one has its use in his kingdom
They certainly teach us wonderful lessons
of Gods greatness and power over all
the elements of the earth.

Pictorial Printing.

In the new volume of THE annual OF
Scientific Discovery, reference is made to,
and an illustration is given of, an inven-
ton brought out during last year, designed
for producing pictorial effects by the use
of movable metal types, cast like ordi-
nary printing types, and bearing upon
their faces different devices, which, by
their combination, produce the desired
effect. A full page illustration, printed
on landscape type, and representing the
home of the Adamses, at Quincy, Mass,
is given as evidence of what is possible
to be accomplished by this invention
The type used are each one thirty second
inch square, their surfaces either plain,
blank, or lined in various directions and
degrees of fneness. The two edifces,
with doors, windows, chimneys, columns,
and roofs, are represented in the cut be-
fore us in accurate perspective, and even
the trees, foliage, clouds, ard other ac-
cessories of the landscape are portrayed
with a considerable degree of fidelity =
The general picture presents the familiar
appearance of the patterns for canvas
needlework; every straight line appears
as such, but the curved outlines aproxi-
mate to that form by rectangular grada-
tons. This plan is Boston invention,
and is not yet even fully developed; but
even when perfected, it is doubtful if pic
lures thus printed will ever equalin beauty
those produced by process, similar in
principle to the foregoing, and, like that,
first made public during the past year.
The latter invention is due to one Fasol,
a printer in Vienna, and the art, as prac-
tised by him, is called "Stigmatypy,"
from the fact that he uses only the full
point, of different sizes, cast upon the
same body. The variations in shade, and
the whole effect, is produced, as in ordi-
nary stipple engraving, according to the
proximity of the points. Both processes
are yet in their infancy, and we await
with interest their further development,

Embalming.

The efforts which have recently been
made to discover an efficient, quick, and
inexpensive process of embalming dead
bodies, seems crowned with complete sue.
cess. A subject treated by the process
of Professor Seel y was examined recent
ly by Professor Wood and company Of
distinguished gentlemen, at the Bellevue
Hospital, and although it had been kept
one hundred and three days, ii &as found
in perfect preservation. 1t Was without
smell, and the face presented natural
ness that was startling 1t is claimed for
this process that it arrests decay at once,
and the examination of the body substan-
tiated the fact. No injection is made in
the veins, nor cut or incision in the body.
A simple wash, applied externally, eff
fects the change. 1t is claimed that the
bodies embalmed will last century,
The learned professor of the hospital ex-
pressed himself astonished at the result,
and, in response to question of MIR.
Clark, the agent for the patentees, re-
piled: Il never saw anything like it in
my life The process has been patented.

British and Foreign Bible Society.

At the recent anniversary of the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society, the fol-
lowing statement of its receipts and issues
was made:
During the last month so large an
amount had been received that, instead
of having to announce deficiency, the
Committee had the qualification to state
that the total receipts showed an increase
over those of the preceding year of T.
794l. (Cheers.) The receipts from or
binary sources for the year ending March
81, 1868, have reached the sum of 49,
91Sl. As. 3D., being 1874 lis. Cd. in
advance of the previous year. To this
must be added 1,175l. 9s. 10d. received
for the China Fund; III. Is. I'd. for the
Special Fund for India; 5,029l. Is. fur.
ther contributions to the Building Fund
and 663l. 9s. Cd. for the Paris Exhibition
Fund; making grand total of 1eS, 1911
lbs. Id. The sum applicable to the gen.
eral purposes of the Society is 93,898L
6s. 3D., being 6,13Tl. los. Sd. more thar
was received under this head in the pre-
ceding year; the receipts for the Bibles
and Testaments have reached the sum Of
$685.. lis. Id, showing an increase
of 1,657l. Is. 8. The ordinary pay.
ments have amounted to 187,020L lbs
3D.; and adding the sum paid on account
of the Jubilee, China, India, and Paris
Exhibition Funds, the total has reached
1S5,611l. 15s., being 16,7O6l los. less
than in the previous year. If to this
sum be added Is, 267l lbs. Sd. paid on
account of the Society's new premises, il
will be seen that the total expenditure Of
the year has amounted to 200,S79l. IS.
Sd. The Society is under engagements
to the extent of 112,001l The issues
of the Society for the year are as fol

Surgeons Views of Communion.

No name is to-day more illustrious il
the Baptist denomination than that Of
Charles H. Sturgeon. His brilliant tai
ent, extraordinary eloquence, fervent
zeal, devoted piety and wonderful success,
have won for him worldwide reputa,
ton. His sermons have been published
in this country, both in books and news
papers, by hundreds of thousands. His
is the largest Baptist church, we believe,
in the world. The views of such a Bap-
fist, therefore, on the subject of com
munion, are of peculiar interest. 1t is
well that he is an advocate of open com
munion, and that such is the practice of
his church. His views on this subject
have been omitted from his sermons-we
will not say with how much or how little
honesty-by the close communion Amer
lean Baptist publishers; but they are
found freely expressed in the English
editions
In sermon, for instance, on the text,
These be they who separate themselves
Jude 19), We find very strong expires
sion in favor of open communion. This,
in the American edition, is one of the
mutilated sermons; but the English edi-
zion, besides other pungent sentences,
contains the following forcible and elo-
quent plea for unity at the Lords table /:
"There is not Christian beneath the
scope of Gods heaven from whom l am
separated. At the Lords table, l always
invite all Christians to come and sit down
and commune with us. If any man were
to tell me that | am separate from the
Episcopaian, the Presbyterian, or the
Methodist, l would tell him he did not
know me, for l love them with pure
heart fervently, and lam otseparate from
them. This bears rather hard on our
strict communion Baptists. | should not
like to say anything hard against them,
for they are about the best people in the
world; but they really do separate them
selves from the great body of Christ's
people. They separate themselves from
the great universal Church. They say
they will not commune with it; and if
any one comes to their table who has not
been baptized, they turn him away
The pulse Of Christ is communion; and
woe to the Church that seeks to cure the
ills of Christ's Church by stopping its
pulse!
II think it sin to refuse to commune
with any one who is member of the
Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. l
should think myself grossly in fault, if
at the foot of these stairs | should meet
