Practical Education.

A writer in LppincOtt's Magazine, de-
scribing school in Germany, follows a
description of the pupils writing compe-
titive compositions on states, with the
following:
In all this proceeding there is nothing
very new, perhaps, but it is so admirably
done that the spectators cannot help
taking an interest IN the process. Every
item entered is made subject of discus
sion. The prices of fowls. How much
a fat fowl should weigh. How much a
lean one. A reasonable price. What
food fattens fowls best. What sort of
fowls they are, and how old. The price
of cabbages, of carrots, of apples, their
sorts, the quantity produced everything
to bring the school home to the life
wants, interests and duties, is done; the
scholars themselves contributing each
their mite to the store of information
their letter contains. The expenses, too,
of the day, the bargains, and the shops,
are all discussed. After one such dis
play as this, | went home, looking at
the baskets in the market, at the donkey
carts laden for return home, at the buy
ers and sellers, and at the goods in the
little shop windows, with more interest
than ever | felt in such things before
| felt that in this German village school,
the children were in training for the
real duties of their lives.

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Blessed Trust in Jesus.

This was the view which the holy
Apostle took of his Saviour, as he was
standing ON the brink of eternity. He
says, "10hOm | have believed, without
naming the person. But all understand
that he means the Lord Jesus Christ.
Again, he says, "that s0hieh | have CON-
mitted to him, without telling in words
what it is. But all know that he refers
to the salvation of his soul: yes-and
body TOTO himself. Then, again, he
speaks of "that day." without telling
what day. But we are sure he means
the great day of judgment, for which all
other days were made.
COmmittiRg the soul into the hands of
Jesus and believing on him amount to
the same thing. TIL y mean trusting in
him for salvation. And what blessed
thing it is TO have this true faith, and
with it to be sweetly ''persUaded' that
Christ is indeed able to keep what we
place in his hands.
Can there be any reason to doubt that
he is sable" Has he ever yet4lest one
poor soul that rested on his word? New
er; never.
''The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
He will nO;, he Will not desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to
shake,
He'll never, no never, no neusr forsake."
If this be so, why may l not confident
ly come when he invites me; commit all
l have into his hands, and then feel as
sured that it Will be safe with me in shat
day" the day of judgment, and for all
eternity?
Can dare commit this undying soul
to any other hands? Who like Jesus can
be a security for it? OLD PILGRIM.

Too Young to Love the Saviour.

Last session quite a number of my pu-
pills learned of Jesus. Among these were
four little girls about twelve years of age.
One of them said to me as we were hav-
ing nice talk together,
"Miss s., Salhe says she wishes
you would talk TO her about Jesus as you
do to the rest of US, if you don't think
she as too y0ung. She is nine years old "
Dear little Sallie," thought, Il
fear l did think you were too young. l
have talked to the older ones and not to
you; and do not believe Jesus when he
says, Suffer little children to come unto
me?'"
After my classes were dismissed for
the day, Sallie came to my room, and
standing by my chair, put her arms round
my neck, and looked wistfuny into my
face.
What is it, Salie ?" 1 asked, do
you want me to tell you about Jesus, so
that YOU can love him, as Bessie dOesy"
YES, ma am she whispered, ''that's
what came here for.
"W1y, do you want to love Jesus,
SaIEe?"
''Oh, do so many naughty things; l
want to be better. Then feel so bad
inside. Since little sister died, have
wanted to be good, so 1 could go to heav-
en-, too.
"Well, Sallie, 1 will try to tell you
how to 90 to Jesus" l said, ''Will you
90 now"
Yes, I'd go right to him, if I could? ?"
Earnestly, tearfully she drank in every
word that l spoke. tried to make her
feel that Jesus was at her side, calling
her, in tender accents, to come unto him
that those dear hands, bearing the
print of the nails, were stretched out to
take her to his bosom, that he was say
ing, "Salhe, be my little girl. Let me
rub out your sins, and take you, and keep
you for mine own.
Il can do that, she said. I Will 90
and get in Jesus arms.
We knelt and asked the Saviour to
make her one of his lambs. After we
arose, she said,
Il can almost feel Jesus arm around
me. do think he has taken me. You
don't think Pm too young, do you }''
Salie still feels those dear arms
around her, and that gentle hand clasp
ing her own. She still loves to talk of
God and heaven. | feel that she Is la-
deed babe Ge Christ.

Photography Simplified.

How often, in the course of country
walk, we meet with objects we long to
have the power to record with the pencil
picturesque combinations that may
never occur again, which we would fain
fix upon the paper for after consultation.
1t is true there are the Photographic ap-
planes which place all men with equal
technical skill upon level; but we don't
go out willingly for stroll with bag and
baggage-hamper ourselves with imped-
iments that give us the appearance of
being out upon surveying expedition.
Hitherto this has been the drawback to
the exercise of most beautiful art
But am glad to find that the pencil of
nature is now placed at our disposal in
manageable form. A camera is now in
vented for taking landscapes, not bigger
than an opera glass; stand is impro-
vised out of an ordinary walking stick,
and supply of dry plates, prepared on
the plan proposed by Major Russell, in
which promised collodium is used. Such
plates develop, with an alkaline prepar-
alton, without the aid of silver. No
blackened fingers, no laboratory of bot
ties are any longer needed, and the
method Of printing, while it is clean,
enables enlarged proofs to be taken at
home at leisure. The tourist may carry
in his shooting coat pocket and in his
trusty staff all the means necessary for
taking transcripts direct from nature in
her most interesting scenes. When We
see what miles of foot-clogging clay a
sportsman will cheerfully carry his fowl
ing-piece over for the chance of a shot
at partridge, can we doubt that the ar
tistic pedestrian will in future provide
himself with his camera, with which, in
a days walk, he may fill his folio with
recollections which will give him pleasure
for lifetime?

Rules for Farmers.

The following from the able pen of the late
Sir John Sinclair should be preserved in let
tiers of gold. They should be cut out and
placed conspicuousy in the house of every
family in the country. By strictly adhering
to them wealth, happiness, and prosperity
cannot fail to follow:
l. The farmer ought to rise early, and see
that others do so, and that both his example
be followed and his orders obeyed.
| =. The whole farm should be regularly in
specteG, and not only every field examined,
but every beast seen at least once day.
3. In considerable farm, it is OF the utmost
consequence to have hands specially appropri

of time, where persons are frequently chang
ing their employments, and the work is not
executed so we'll
T. Every means should be thought of to di.
minish labor or to increase its power For in
stance, by proper arrangement, five horses
may do as much labor as six perform, accord
ing to the usual mode of employing them
4. A farmer ought never to engage in a
work, whether of ordinary practice or intended
improvement, except after the most careful
inquiries; but when begun, he ought to pro-
coed in it with much attention and persever-
ance until he has given it a fair trial
6. 1t is main object in management not to
attempt too much, and never to begin work
without probability of being able to finish it
in due season.

Who Will Go for Us?

Nearly the whole world is open to oul
labors. India is our own; China receives
our Evangelists into her very capital
Africa invites US to follow with the Bible
in the path of Livingstone, Spoke, and
Baker; North and South America await
our Christian embassy; and the most saw
age Islanders of the South Seas bid US
welcome, and, like the now christianized
New Zealanders and Fejees, learn to sit
at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in their
right mind
Awake to the loud calls of Gods provi-
dence; respond TO the command of your
Lord; give to the perishing heather the
bread of life; go and elevate them by
Gods grace to condition similar to your
own highly privileged state. Behold the
hopeless, unalleviated sorrows of those
who know not God, who live and die with
a lie in their right hand.
Many of you, brethren, at the seats of
learning, can go. The Church naturally
looks to you, and the great Head of the
Church expects that from your ranks
especially should the supply come forth
of officers for his army, of good, and
valiant, and well-trained. skilful leaders
of His host. Oh, why should there be
so few Hebers and Martyrs among you
Is any other sphere so noble, so benefcent,
so God like, as that of the Christian mis-
sionary? The bar, and the army and
navy, and civil services, are all honora
bic, and some of them very lucrative
professions; but the glory and the wealth
of one saved soul eclipses and outweighs
them all. Who, then, will embark in this
highest of all enterprises?
And, young men without University
advantages, intelligent, active, brave
Christian young men employed in other
professions, is not this work in which
many of you might also engage work
TO which the Church invites you, to which
the heather are calling you, which the
command of your Lord and Master rem

OUR SECURITY.

Clouds and darkness round about Thee
For a season veil Thy face,
Still | trust, and cannot doubt thee,
Jesus, full of truth aud grace;
Resting on Thy words stand,
None shall pluck me from Thy hand.
Oh, rebuke me not in anger
Suffer not my faith TO fail!
Let not pain, temptation, langOr,
Ger my struggling heart prevail!
Holding fast Thy word | stand,
None shall pluck me from Thy hand.
In my heart Thy words cherish,
Though unseen Thou still art near;
Since thy sheep shall never perish,
What have l to do with fear?
Trusting in Thy word stand,
None shall pluck me from Thy hand.

The Reprieve.

| had long wished to be the bearer of
life to some condemned cell. My wish
was granted me. 1t was on Tuesday night
that poor sentenced criminal was to be
hanged. He was within one day of the
fatal drop. But on Monday, all unex
pectedly, I was summoned to take him
his life. This as have said, is what l
had long wished for. So wonderful
privilege was it to be in position to
give life!
My first thought was, where is the
train that can bear me swift enough to
the cell? dreamt not Of clay. Delay
appeared cruel, until, at the the very
threshold of the prison, l bethought me
thus-How can I tell him? The news
will kill him. The man will die if I tell
him, so great will be the revulsion. He
has died, so to speak. He IS dead in
law. And he is already in the bitterness
of death. Soswith life in my hand, 1
stand before the victim in his cell. His
face is wan. His knees feeble. His va
cant eyes have no tears, but are red ; and
look as if, with dry hot grief, they had
burned down into their sockets. Melan-
choly picture She who owned him as
her husband had just been carried out
from the last separations still, and seem
ingly corpse, unconscious of the strange
last kiss which murderer had impressed
on her lips. The expectant orphans,
after their wretched farewell, were cry
ing over the yet motionless form of their
mother.
"My poor man, can you read?"
"Yes, was the reply.
But fearing to break the royal pardon
to him too suddenly, added
"Would you like your life?"
Sir" he responds, "do not trife with
me-"
''But life is sweets it not?"
"Sir, / would rather you would not
speak to me"
But would you not like me to pro
cure your life" tm
at is of no use, sir; I'm justly con-
demned. I'm dead man.
but the Queen could give you your
life 1oaa
He looks inquiringly at me, but is
silent.
"Can you read this?'
And now those hot eyes were directed
down upon the paper. As he intently
reads, putting his arm around my Shout
ders, 1 say
''There my poor fellow, there is your
life"
No sooner had / uttered the words,
than, as I expected, he dropped down
at my feet There he lies, as it were
dead!l 1t was more than he could bear.
What! when a man to whom reprieve
is announced, granting him few more
short years of natural life, falls down as
dead, may not a sinner, who finds he is
not to be lost, but that on believing; he
is saved-he has Christ, and heaven, and
everlasting life-Isa may not he weep?
Yea, cry? Cry for joy!
