Mr. Gough,s Recovery.

The following incident is worthy of being
often repeated. as an encouragement to labor
for moral or religious reform. \ warm heart
and wise tongue may overcome the most
formidable obstacles. Rev. T. l.. Cnyler tells
the story;
'.On certain Sabbath evening, some
twenty years ago reckless, well-dressed
young man was idly lounging under the elm
trees in public square of Worcester. He
had become wrctched waif ON the current
of sin His days were spent in the waking
remorsc Of the drunkard his nights passed in
the dictionaries of the ale house. As he
sauntered along, out Of humor with himself
and an mankind Il kind voice saluted him.
4 stranger laid his band ON his shoulder, and
said. in cordial tones Mr. C., 70 down
to our meeting at the town hall tonight A
brief conversation followed, so winning in its
character that the reckless youth consented to
20. lle went; he heard the appeals there
made With tremuous hand he signed the
pledge Of total abstinence. By Gods help
he kept it, and keeps It yet. The poor boot
crimper who tapped him ON the shoulder
GOOD Joel Stratton--has lately gone to heaven
But the youth he saved is the foremost Of the
reformers ON the face of the globe. Methinks,
when listen TO the thunders Of applause
that greet John b. Cough on the platform Of
Exeter Hall or the Academy Of Music, am
hearing the echoes of that tap on the shoulder,
and that kind invitation under the ancient
elms Of Worcester. He that wineth souls Is
wise"

Furnishing Children.

In multitudes of cases parents have
made hasty and furious and utterly
groundless charges against child, which
has so taken it aback that it could make
no reply, and this has been taken as a
tacit confession of guilt, and the next
question proposed in fury is, "what did
you do it for? And the child being thus
confused and more alarmed, cannot sum-
mon presence of mind and composure
enough to make denial, and as the only
alternative bursts into kind of hysteri-
cal crying. Many parents are of such a
temperament that, when a child cannot
be induced to utter word under scold-
ing, they become more enraged, and ut
ter threats which are disgrace to civil
zation; we have heard them, ourselves,
from affectionate, indulgent and Chris
tian parents, "Ill knock you down with
log of wood" ell break every bone
IN your body, iii beat you within an
inch of your life," and other similar
beastialities of expression from educated,
civilized minds; at least they passed for
such in the great world.
There is one safe rule always applica-
bic in the reproof of children; never
speak so loud to them that a third per
son, ten feet away, could hear what was
said. Any angry feeling is intensified
by a loud utteraDce. Another good rule
Is, do not reprove or correct a child in
the presence of a third person, or if so,
let it be done in a soft, low, afectionate
tone. A third precaution, and it is not
a minor one either, is, do not reprove on
the instant; wait a few hours, if not
until next day, or better still in many
cases, defer it until the occasion is about
to occur when the fault might likely be
repeated. Any intelligent and observant
housekeeper knows that if a steak is put
on the table this morning burnt to "a
crisp, bouncing up from the table, run
ming into a kitchen, aud blazing away at
the cook is neither ladylike, nor wise,
nor polite. But next morning just be
fore the steak is about to be cooked, be
in the kitchen, and ask that it be not
overdone as yesterday, with some word
Of encouragement; whatever servant is
not managed in this way had better be
dismissed. Now children are as ignorant
IS servants; the minds of both are weak

Real Courage.

Boys and girls, as well as men and
women, are apt sometimes to mistake pru
dence for cOwardice, and yet no two
qualities can be more unlike.
POOH said rough boy once to his
more gentle cousin, Il do believe, John,
your afraid to 90 near that horse just
because he isn't tied"
"There is no need of me going near
him, Stephen was the reply; " and there
is danger in his kicking any one who
leases him."
"Ha, ha" shouted Sephen, you're a
bravey, now, amt you? The idea of be
ing afraid of horselr' and with taunt
ing look at John, the foolish boy walked
up to the grazing animal AMI poked him
with stick. The horse gave all uneasy
start, but continued pulling at the grass.
"See here" exclaimed Stephen, grow
ing holder, If you'll pro1aiaeA at 1af.iaa
III present you with u lock of his tail in
q minute"
John didn't faint, but Stephen did; for
rs he stealthily approached the horse in
the rear the animal bounded away, per-
forming flourish with his hoofs that laid
his tormentor senseless in the dust. John
tried hard to restore Stephen to conscious
ness. He loosened his clothing, rubbed
MS hands and feet, and bringing water
in his cap from the pool near by, dashed
it on the boys white face, but all in
vain there was no sign Of life. The
nearest house was their own home, and
a quarter of mile distant. John felt
that not a moment was 10 be lost. He
approached the now quiet horse, and leap
ing upon his back rode swiftly, without
saddle or bride, to his uncle's house for
help.
When, after long illness, Stephen re-
covered, he was a wiser boy, and told his
cousin that he really believed that the
horse had managed TO kick little COM
mon sense into him.
And what Ounce l must have been,
john" he added, "to fancy you were
afraid of that horse"

A Child's Faith.

A few days since | called on friend
who has an adopted daughter, lovely
little girl of some nine summers, and the
mother related to me pleasing TACT
which occurred the previous Sabbath
evening. The little girl wished very much
to attend the Sabbath School concert;
but the family lived two miles from
church, and the mother was so i'll that
the father could not leave her alone
What should the little girl do?
Il will tell you, said her father;
In the afternoon call for your school
mate, 60 into your aunts to tea, and
then you will have your pleasant con-
cert.
But how shall we get home, father
We cannot come through the woods
alone.
& will come to the edge of the woods
and meet you, replied her father.
They went, and enjoyed themselves
finely. On their way home they had
walked "a mile when they reached the
edge of the woods, and no father ap-
peared. Jennie's companion murmured,
"Your father is not here. don t
think he will come. l an afraid.
"Don's be afraid, replied Jennie; he
said he would come, and | know ne will.
Now l will call father, and you will hear
him reply"
She shouted, Father and at no
great distance she heard her father S
voice. Then turning to her little CON-
pauion, she said, "DIdn't you hear? l
knew he would come"
Soon they meet, and confdingly did
the little girls walk through the dreary
woods, knowing no fear for they were
with their father and friend.
Happy for US who longer travelled
the paths of life, if We would thus always
trust our heavenly Father, assured that
he will never leave nor forsake us.

A Tool. RooM.-A neat toolroom is what
some farmers have. They go into it with pleas
ure. They 60 oftener than they would other
wise, on account of its neatness. The work is
done there; and there is a smell OF wood that
makes it pleasant-the bright glittering tools,
looking as it were at you with recognition OF
the fitness of things. These tools, neatly ar
ranged, and kept bright, are also in order; they
are always in order; they make good work, and
save time as WELL And these tools are seldom
borrowed-or by farmers as neat, shall we say?
No. A neat farmer is apt to have his own
tools, as every farmer ought to have and every
good farmer has. But the sloven looks shy.
He knows these tools ont of place in his
-hand.a--He rs aware that the owner knows this
as well; so he goes where he may pick them up,
where he finds them lying about. Yes, help
yourself / don't know where the auger is
jim, where did you put the large augur?' You
had it last" answers jim. They look for it,
and in connection with the neighbor, find tat
another neighbor' COlman'S Valley Farmer.

Wooden Clothing.

The most healthful clothing for our
climate the year round is made of wool.
If worn next to the skin by all classes,
in summer as well as winter, an incalcu-
bic amount of coughs, colds, diarrheas,
dysenteries, and fevers would be prevent
ed as also many sudden and premature
deaths from Group, diptheria, and lung
diseases. Winter maladies would be pre-
vented by the ability of wooden gar
ment to keep the natural heat about the
body more perfectly instead of convey
ing it away as fast as generated, as linen
and faxen garments do; as also cotton
and silk, although these are less cooling
than Irish linen: as any one can prove
by noticing the different degrees of cold
ness on the applications of a surface of
six inches square of WOODEN flannel and
linen to the skin the moment the clothing
is removed. The reason is, that wool is
a bad conductor of heat and linen is a
good conductor of heat.-Dr. Hall.

WRITING PoETRY.--All editors ae
grati6ed Co receive contributions of orr
ginal poetry, where they have true merit
The trouble is that so many who have
not a particle of poetic talent never know
it. If they can only manage to give it
the jingle of rhyme, the demands of
poetry are considered as fully met. Such
illusions are fairly represented in the fol-
lowing extract in which the editor gives
reasons for not putting his correspondent
in print:
"The rhythm sounds like pumpkins
rolling over barn floor, while some lines
appear to have been measured with a
yard stick, and others with a ten foot
pole"

Good Farming.

Farming is poor business" Yes,
poor farming is very poor business but
good farming is as good business, at
present prices as | want, and withal as
pleasant A good farmer raises sixty
bushels. He doubles the crop and realizes
five times the profit. His land is cleaner,
and he has twice the amount of fodder to
feed out, and makes twice the amount of
manure, and this doubles his future crops
and quadrnples his profits. His land is
getting richer and richer, while in the
other case it will be likely to get poorer
and poorer; ditto the farmer, and alas !
alas ditto his family.
But what is man to do who is poor
and has poor land?" Ifhe has good health,
is industrious, economical, and Is pos
sessed of a fair share of good common
sense, he need have no doubt as to his
being able to renovate his farm and i'm
prove his own fortune.
Faith in good farming is the first re-
quisite. If this is weak, it will be strength
ened by exercise. If you have not faith,
act as though you had.
Work hard, but do not be drudge. A
few hours vigorous labor will accomplish
a great deal, and encourage you to con-
tinued effort. Be prompt, systematic,
cheerful, and enthusiastic.
Go to bed early and get up when you
wake. But take sleep enough. A man
had better be in bed than at the tavern or
grocery. Let not friends, even, keep you
up late; manners is manners, but still
your elth's your elth."
"But what has this to do with good
farming p More than chemistry and all
the science of the schools. Agriculture
is an art and must be followed as such.
Science will help-help enormously-but
it will never enable us to dispense with in
dustry. Chemistry throws great light
on the art of cooking, but a farmers wife
will roast turkey better than Llebig.

Greatest Book Market in the World.

Leipsic is not only the greatest book
market in Germany, where ten million
volumes were published last year, but of
the world. With about ninety thousand
inhabitants it has more than two hundred
publishers and booksellers. The firm of
F. A. Brackhaus & Co., is perhaps the
largest and most extensive publishing
house ON the Continent. 1t occupies al
most an entire block of buildings, and the
number of employees is five hundred and
seventy. 1t publishes works, lexicons,
dictionaries, grammars, etc, il. almost all
possible languages, ancient and modern.
Book merchants of almost the whole world
have their agents here, and books in every
possible language may be had. The book
merchants here have their own exchange
the Buchhandler Borse-a large, hand
some building, where they meet weekly,
sometimes daily, to take counsel with
regard to the advancement of the book
trade, and where the principal book mer-
chants of Europe meet annually to adjust
their accounts. Sales and exchange of
books amount from six to eight millions
of dollars annually. Weekly, monthly,
semi-annual and annual literary adver-
tisers and catalogues are published, con-
tanning the titles of all the books, PAM
phlets, periodicals, ETC., published in Eu-
rope during these respective periods.

Remedy for Asthma.

A friend who is desirou of relieving the suf-
ferings of the suffering offers gratuitously the
following remedy for any asthmatic readers who
may chance to see this article. He says:
"If any one will follow the simple directions
which give, knoO it will effect a permanent
cure. Give the person subject to the asthma a
dose of plain -four of sulphur and molasses or
honey every day. 1t is sure cure if its admin
istration be persisted in, whether the person hav-
ing the malady be old or young. 1t is very
cheap remedy, and perfectly harmless. The
quantity of sulphur to begin with should be
small-not enough with the molasses or honey
to create anything like darrh@a, but just
enough to keep the bowels regular. 1t must
be taken euery day-as well ~hen the patient
bredtheS ueU as ILL.,"
