We learn from the Lewiston Journal that

five miles below the village in Auburn, was
destroyed by fire. The family were preparing
dinner when the fire was discovered. 1t had
then burned through the roof, and the attic
was on fire, indicating that it had kindled
from sparks on the roof. The barn was saved
by tearing away the shed. The loss will be
about $500 on which is policy of $500.

As-O1p LADY IN BAD FIx.-A very
good widow, who was looked up to by the
Congregation to which she belonged as an
example of piety, contrived to bring her con

She loved porter and one day, just as she
had received half dozen bottles from the
man who usually brought her the comforta.

two of the grave elders of the church ap-
preaching her door. She ran the man out
Of the back door, and the bottles under the

lady," there goes the BEDFORD; it snapped

off went another, followed by the peculiar
kissing of escaping liquor. The rope would
not do again, but the lady was not at q loss.
"Dear me- said she, ''that black cat OF
mine must be at some mischief under there.
Scat" Another bottle popped of, and the
porter came stealing out from under the

GRAFT1NG.-Dr. Regel describes new
method of grating as practiced by Herr
Freundich, one Of the Russian court gard
deners, with remarkable success. Instead
of taking the scions from the previous years
wood, with the bud just beginning to swell,
the still soft growing lateral shoots are Sc
lected when from one-half to one and one
half inch long, and either bark or tongue
grated, care being taken not to draw the
ligature too tight, as they swell much more
rapidly than hardwood scions. Success, he
says, is CERTAIN, if care is taken that the sap
of the stock be in motion at the time the op'
Grafton is performed. He recommends this
mode as su perior to all others, especially for
hard-woodcd trees, such as quereus, fagus,
&C., which are usually difficult to propagate
from the old wood. New roses and other
plants, which it is desirable to increase as
rapidly as possible, may also be advanta-
geously worked in the same manner.-Flor-
ast and Pomologist.

HELPERS OF THE PASTOR,

A church calls and settles pastor, and
provides comfortably, or uncomfortably, as
the case may be, for his support. and then
the majority of its members quietly transfer
the burden and responsibility Of the
church's prosperity, and the advancement
of Christ's kingdom thereby, to his shoul-
ders, and seem to think their own work is
done. If the church grows and fourishes
it must be by his labor. If not, it will be
his fault. It is enough to turn our eyes
into fountains of tears to think how far
this sad mistake prevails in our churches.
1t is mistake. Every member of church,
even the least, humblest and weakest, can
do something to promote it's interests and
the prosperity of religion in the midst Of
it. And to the full measure of his power
every one is bound to aid in the blessed
cause, and to be laborer together with
the pastor. The Lord of the vineyard
calls into it none to be idlers and drones
there. The "uproftable" servant is con.
demned and cast out, simply because he is
improbable. Every branch in the true
vine which "beareth no fruit" is 'taken
away" The church is "the body of Christ, u
"from whom," says the apostle" the whole
body fifty Joined together and compacted by
that which every joint supplieth,
maketh increase of the body unto edifying
of itself in love-" There are no useless
members in the body every joint, every
part, must supply something, and work ef
fectually, in its measure, in order to the in.
crease and edifcation of the whole BODY.

DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.

Come, boys, have something to tell you,
Come near, I would whisper it low
You are thinking Of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in q hurry to 60.
The city has many attractions,
But think Of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in gold, without doubt,
But ah there is gold on the farm, boys,
If only you'll shovel it out.
The mercantile life is hazard,
The goods are first high, and then low,
Better risk the old farm awhile longer,
Don't be i'm hurry to go!
The great busy West has inducements,
And so has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in day, boys,
Don't be in hurry to start!
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousands or so,
All think of the frauds and deceptions,
Don't be in hurry to go!
The farm is the safest and surest,
Its products most certain to pay
You're free as the air of the mountains,
And monarch of all you survey.
Better stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come rather Slow
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in a hurry to go!
