It gives directions for weddings and bu-

It points out faithful and eternal guar

SLANDER-Slander like love, is born
blind. and should be so represented. If
Love never sees q vice, SANDER never sees
a virtue. 1t can never make others what
it wishes them to be, but always makes
itself what it desires to make others. It
striks at others, but its blows reeoil upon
it's own head. 1t is dog that bites the
bitter. 1t is, however, false to suppose it
never bites any one else, for like serpent,
it may fasten its fangs upon another, and
doit but too successfully though it gen
orally ends like the scorpion. by thrusting
its venom into its own head. But it is a
poor consolation to know that he who has
killed another, dies at last by his own
hands.

Forests and Drouths.

Prof r. G. kidzle, in a late agiicultu-
raj lecture. speaks Of the necessity of pre-
serving the forests. and Of planting them
anew where they have been generally de-
stroyed. We quote:
Egypt, from the earliest periods Of his
tory. has been spoken of as rainless re-
gion bat since Mahomet Ali has made his
immense plantations ftrees, showers have
become frequent. The. controlling inau-
ence Of forests over rain falls is also shown
by the fact that countries once supplied
with forests. and having abundant rains
and immunity from frost, their forests hav-
ing been destroyed, have been seourged by
drouth and frost till the forests were restor-
ed, when they once more became fruitful /;
or, if the inhabitants would not restore
their protecting forests. the stern hand Of
| famine threatened to wipe out race that
would not reverence the order of nature.
Thus the Cape de Verde. Islands, so
named from their greenness, have been
/ dent Inhabitants, since which time they
suffer terribly from periodical droughts,
sometimes 20 rain falling for three years at &
time, aud 10000 Inhabitants, or oGe-third
of the population Lave perished. Thus
famine cuts down the Inhabitants as pitt
lessly as they cut down the protecting trees
1t has been proposed to replant the forests
yet such is the ignorance and Incidence o
the inhabitants that little has been done to
ward restoration, and it is probable that The
entire race may be cut off, to be replaced
by those who have learned that 'the tree
of the field is mans life"

OLD AGE WIFHoUT RELIGIoN.-Alas! for
him who grows old without growing wise,
and to whom the future world does not set
open her gates, when he is excluded by the
present. The Lord deals so graciously with
us in the decline of life. that it is a shame
to turn deaf ear to the lessons which he
gives. The eye becomes dim, the tongue
falters, the feet totter, all the senses refuse
to do their office, and from every side re-
sounds the call, ''Set thy house in order,
for the term of thy pilgrimage is at hand. !"
The playmates of youth, the fellow labor
ers of manhood, die away. and take the road
before US. Old age is. like some quiet
chamber, in which, disconnected from the
visible world, we can prepare in silence
for the world that is unseen.

rk-Making in New ENGLAND.

A farmer at Framingham, Mass, has
killed hog that weighed, dressed, 7o5
pounds and another, at Woburn, Of the
same State, bad ons to dress 8O5 pounds
both being about- two years old.
Most swine in New England are fed up
on grain Of some kind, skim milk, butter
milk, whey. boiled potatoes, scraps from
the table, and during al growing season.
with fresh weeds, and short, sweet grass.
to these are added, during the season Of
fattening pumpkins, squashes. carrots aud
other roots, boiled and mixed with vari-
Gus kinds of meal. Salt is occasionally
given them, and some cases pork aud beef
scraps from which nearly all the fatty mat
ter has been extracted by pressure. They
have clean and comfortable sleeping places.
and although they. sometimes wallow in the
mud in hot weather to get on coat which
protects them from flies. they are reat in
their habits when properly treated.

THE RIGHT KIND OF RELIGIoN.-I want,
says Uncle Nick. and We all want religion
that not only bears on the sinfulness of sin,
but on the rascality of lying and Stealing
religion that banishes all small measures
from the conntere, small baskets from the
stall, pebbles from cotton bag, and from su
gar, chicory from coffee, alum from bread,
lard from butter, strychniue from vine.
and water from milk cans. The religion
that is to advance the world, says Uncle
Nick, will not put all the big strawberries
and peaches on the top aud al the bad ones
at the bottom, and will not offer more bas-
kets of foreign wines than the vineyards
ever produced in bottles.

Some time since it was announced that a
man at Titusville, Pennsylvania. commit
ted suicide for the strange reason tha! he
was his own grandfather. Leaving dy-
ing statement, explaining this singular cir
cumstance, We will not attempt to unravel
it, but give his own explanation of the mix
ed up condition of his kinsfolk in. his own
words. He says: Il married widow
who had growp-up daughter. My father
visited our house very often, fell in love
with my steP-daughter, and married her.
So my father became my son-in-law, and
my step daughter my mother. because she
was my father's wife. Sometime after ward
my wife had a son he was my fathers
brother-in-law, and my uncle, for he was
the brother of my step-mother. My fathers
wife,. e., my step-daughter bad also a
son he was, of course, my brother, and in
the meantime my grand child, for he was
the son of my daughter. My wife was N y
grandmother, because she vas my mothers
mother. 1 was my wife's husband and
grand-child at the same time. And as
the husband of PERSONS grandmother is
his grandfather, was my own grandfa-
ther.

DUsr AND AsHEs.-Did you ever see a
lump of coal after it was more than half
burned on the FIRE See how all the life
the richness and fatness are burned out
Of it; and how little but course grey Gin
ders, and scraggy remnants Of worthless
dust and ashes are all that remains fit
for no use under heaven but to be cast IN
10 the street and carried away. So it is
with some men The fires Of sin have so
wrought into them, that little but dust and
ashes remain Of them. All the native rich
ness Of their nature is burned away, and
they are only ft to be cast into the great
dirtpile Of waste material of humanity, till
God shall regeuerats- aud renew them with
the washing Of regeneration and the re-
uewing Of the Holy Ghost.

Luther, when stuyding, always had his
dog lying athis fcet-a dog he had brought
from WaTtburg, and of which he was very
fond. An ivory crucifx stood at the table
before him. He worked st his desk for
days together. without going out but
when fatigued, and the IDEAS began to stag
nate. he took his guitar with him to the
porch, and there executed some musical
fantasy (for he was a skilful musician, J
when the ideas would flow upon him as
fresh as flowers after summers rain
Music was his invariabIe solsce at such
times. Indeed. Luther did not hesitate to
say that, after theology, music was the first
Of arts. Music" said he, ''is the art Of
prophets it is the only other art which,
like theology can calm the agitation of the
soul and put the devil to flight" Next to
music. if not before it, Luther loved chill
