About Moving Machines.

Buy the best. 1t is the cheapest in the end
Buy early to be sure you have the one you
wish, and not find out just as you are ready to
commence haying, that you cannot get the kind
you desire.
When attaching the horses see that the knives
are in horizontal position, neither pointed up
or down; this secures a smooth, even stubble,
without cutting off portion of it twice.
See that all the nuts are turned tight. The
their machines months before time for using
them, and nearly all wood will shrink little
Buy the best oil you can find. Sperm, if pos
sible. If you cannot get that, kerosene and
castor oil mixed, say about one-third kerosene
and two.thirds castor oil does very we'll
Keep the bearings well oiled, also the buttons
which hold the knives down to the plates in the
fingers.
Keep the knives sharp all the time. Take
both scythes into the field sharp, and once in an
hour or so rub the edges with a sharp gritted
milestone; this saves sweating your horses,
wearing out your machine, and leaves the field
as though you understood your business. Use
the scythes about equally, they fit and work
better.
Keep the buttons down close to the cutter as
possible, and have the scythe play easily. Ex-
anime them frequently, and as they wear, rap
them down with hammer, so as to keep the
edge of the cutters in close contact with the edge
OF the steel plates in the fingers You might
as well expect to cut wet paper with dull,
loose ionted pair OF scissors as grass with dull
scythes not in their proper position.
Whenever the cutters become worn to point
and begin to grow shorter, have new ones put
on; it is the poorest kind of economy to use
them so-about equal to using WORKOUT plow-
point.
Examine your machine carefully rs soon as
having is over, and if it needs any repairs send
il at once to the manufacturer, unless you can
replace the parts wanted yourself. He has time
in the Fall, and before he begins to turn out
machines for next season, to attend to it faith
fully. You thereby save yourself much vexa
ton and loss by reason of his not being able to
serve everybody first.
If your machine needs repairing, take out the
scythes, wipe them clean, and then rub them
over with an oily rag to prevent rusting Oil
the fingers, also remove the pole and bar, put
the bar and scythe in a dry place, clean your
machine thoroughly, and keep it dry and clean.

Venezuela.

Rev. T. G. Anderson, Secretary of the
Board of Missions of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, has had some con
troversy recently, in the Banner O
Peace, with DIR. Langdon, on the practi.
cability of Missions in tropical climates
He brings up some examples to show that
Venezuela and other countries in South
America are not necessarily unfavorable
to all mental and moral Improvement, OF
more sickly than many other countries
similarly situated:
at is true, that the Valley of the
Orinoko, for two hundred miles from the
coast, is very sickly-worse than New
Orleans and the country between the city
and coast were fifty years ago. But
there are vast regions-boundless plains
in Venezuela, which when brought under
cultivation will be as healthy as Missis-
sippi and Texas.
DIR. Langdon knows that the Valley
of the Jordan, the land selected by God
himself as the residence of his chosen
people, rejoices in tropical climate
Though not within the tropics, yet owing
to its great depression, even below the
level of the ocean, its climate IS tropical,
and its soil yields, in abundance, almost
all of the products of the tropics. And
this is the land which the Jew has, in all
ages, regarded as type of Paradise,
seven the garden of the Lord, like unto
Eden"
Egypt, also, owing to its depression,
being only slightly above the Ocean-level,
has tropical climate, and abounds in all
the productions common to intertropical
countries. And Egypt was, $500 or
5000 years ago, thousand years in adj
vance of all other countries, in all that
appertains to science, literature, and the
arts. 1t was the cradle of Moses, the
great lawgiver of the civilized world
1t was the home of the builders of the
Pyramids, the wonder of the world to
this day.
And Judea, with tropical climate,
can boast Solomon, a David, a Jere-
miah, an Isaiah, and finally, the Saviour
of the world.
Let no man despise tropical climate,
since God himself chose such to be the
home of his chosen people, and the the
atre of the grand drama of mans re-
demption. And to-day, the Jews, all
over the world, in every land and cline,
are looking with longing eyes toward
their native land, and awaiting and ex-

Subsistence of the Sea Bottom

Well, now, the land is perpetually
wearing down, and the materials beng
carried out to sea. The coat OF heavier
matter is thinning off towards the land,
and thickening over all the bed of the
sea. What must happen? If ship tOat
even on her keel, transfer weight from
the starboard to the larboard side, will
she continue to float even? No, certainly.
She will heel over to larboard. Many a
good ship has gone to the bottom in this
way. If the continents be lightened, they
will rise; if the bed of the sea receive ad-
ditional weight, it will sink. The bottom
of the Pacific is sinking, in point of fact.
This seems paradox; but it is easily
explained. The whole bed is in the act
of being pressed down by the laying on
of new solid substance over its bottom
The new bottom, then, is laid upon the
old, and so the actual bed of the ocean
remains at or nearly the same distance
from the surface water. But what becomes
of the islands ?-They form part and par
eel of the old bottom; and DR.. Darwin
has shown by the most curious and con
vincing proofs, that they are sinking, ant
have been sinking for ages, and are only
kept above water-by what, think you

DR.. SAMUEL BAKER, the African trav
eler, gives an account of wild asses seen
by him, which will remind every reader
of the spirited descriptions in the book
of Job and other portions of the Old
Testament:

when first observed, and upon our ap-
proach to within half that distance, they
halted and faced about; they were evil
IDENTIFY on their return to the desert from
the river. Those who have seen donkeys
in their civilized state have no concep-
ton of the beauty of the wild and origi,
nal animal. Far from the passive and
subdued appearance of the English ass,
the animal in its native desert is the per-
lection of activity and courage; there is
high-bred tone in the department, a
high-actioned step when it trots freely
over the rocks and sand, with the speed
of horse when it gallops over the
boundless desert. No animal is more
difficult to approach; and although they
are frequently captured by the Arabs,
those taken are invariably the foals,
which are ridden down by fast dromeda-
ries, while the mothers escape. The
color of the wild ass is reddish cream,
tinged with the shade most prevalent of
the ground that it inhabits, and it much
resembles the sand Of the desert.

The BIBLE IN ABYssINIA.-The people

Captain Speedy, the Basha Felecca OF
Theodore's army, propounded few ques-
tons, such as ''Who was the first hunter?'
"What was David's father? "What
was the name of the man in whose fields
Ruth gleaned?" GLOW many days was
Noah in the ark" All of which ques-
tions were answered correctly by young
fellow not over twenty years old, who,
we found out afterward, was also an ex-
client writer.

A New APPLICATION OF ELECTRICITY.
By the adoption of Bankers system of
electricity to organs, it is possible for a
performer in England to play on an in
strument situated in America. Would
not this invention be of signal service to
some of our organists who hold many ap-
pointments? Were they to have the
wires laid down from the various church
es to their own residences, they might
perform all the services at the same time,
and thereby save the expense of paying
deputies.

Summer and Spring.

I'VE find this little gem of beauty quoted
y the London Spectator, from a little book
f Poems written for child, by Two Friends:
Spring is growing up,
Is 1t not pity?
She was such little thing,
And so very pretty
Summer is extremely grand,
We must pay her duty.
But it is to little Spring
That she owes her beauty.
All the buds are blown,
Trees are dark and shady,
1t was Spring who dressed them, though,
Such little LADY,
And the birds sing loud and sweet
Their enchanting hist ries.
1t was Spring who taught them, though,
Such singing mistressD
From the glowing sky,
Summer shines above us;
Spring was such little dear,
But will Summer love us2
She is very beautiful,
With her grown up bisSes,
Summer we must bow before;
Spring We eoaxed with kisses!
Spring is growing up,
Leaving us so lonely,
In the place of little Spring
We have summer only
Summer, with her lofty airs,
And her stately PAGES,
In the place Of little Spring,
With her childish gracesl

And soon before my raptured sight glorious

gentle touch awaked me,-a gentle whisper
said,
"Arise o sleeper, follow me;" and through the
air we fed.
We left the earth so far away that like speck
it seemed,
And heavenly glory, calm and pure, across our
pathway streamed;
Still on we went.-My soul was wrapt In silent

by night,
The glory of the Lord was there, the Lamb HIM

Bright angels paced the shining streets, sweet
music filed the air,
And white robed saigts, with glittering crowns,
from every cline were there,
And some that had loved on earth, stood with
them round the throne,

But fairer far than all beside, saw my Saviour
face
And as gazed he smiled on me with wondrous
love and grace.
Lowly bowed before his throne, o'erjoyed that
at last
Had gained the object of my hopes; that earth
at last was past;
And then in solemn tones He said, "Where is
the diadem
That ought to sparkle on thy brow-adorned
with many gem?
/ know thou hast believed on me, and life through
me is thine,
But where are all those radiant stars that in thy
crown should shine?
Yonder thou seest a glorious throng, and stars

For every soul they led to me they wear jewel

And such thy bright reward had been, if such

of life alone,
But that the clear and shining light which round

Should guide some other weary feet to my bright
home of rest,
And thus in blessing those around, thou hadst
myself been blest,"
The vision faded from my sight, the voice no

And when at last, gazed around in morning S

That yet some sinner might tell of Jesus dying

And helps to lead some weary soul to seek a
home above.

And craven on my Utmost soul, this word OF
