II was but a little sip,
just a taste ppon the lip;
ID Bntit lett a longing there /;
Then The measure larger grew,
And the habit strengthened, too,
Till itswould no eurbing bear;
So the Demon Drink decoys;
Soul and body both destroys.
II was but one little word
Softly spoken, scarcely heard,
Uttered by u single breath
But it dared to take in vain
Gods most high and holy name;
NSo'proyokihg wrath and death.
Soon his lips, once fresh and fair,
Opened but to curse and swear.
II was but one little blow,
PASSIONS sudden overflow,
Scarcely needed in its fall;
v.sButi once lOOsed, the fiery soul
' Would no longer brook control
laws it spurned, deied them all,
10TH the hands, love clasped in vain,
Wore the nurderer's crimson stain.
All il is the foxes small,
Slyly climbing DER the wall,
That destroy the tender vines
And it is the spark of fire,
Frightening, growing, curling higher,
That across the forest shines.
DUST so, step by step, does sin,

OIL FOR IRON OR STEEL TOOLS.

The animal oils, Gard, sperm, etc.. are
liable to become rancid, and generate an
acid that invites rust, instead of prevent
ing it. Keep constantly in the tool-house
dry cloth and an oiled one. When
tool is brought in after the days work is
done, clean and wipe with the dry cloth.
IF it is not to be used the next day, rub
the oiled cloth over it. Wherever plow
or cultivator is not to be used the follow
ing day, let it be taken in and cleaned.=.
BY pursuing this course through the sum-

A LIE WELL STUCK TO.
BY HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

In the nursery time of our life, lies of
small magnitue we called /" stories" and
we have sadly learned since, that stories
are very often lies (; and a grotesque story
an odd or funny one--is destined, if one
may say so, to a short immortality.
Many stories that have been walking
up and down the earth since the food, are
told to-day of living public men, as un-
doubted and veritable history. Many
standing jokes are traceable to the Middle
Ages. they reappear in Roman history,
and may be found again in old Greek an
thologics, and probably the Greeks borrow
ed them from yet older people, and they
from the antediluvians.
It adds to the relish Of these primitive
Joe Millers to hear them recited by some
innocent friend, with guarantee, II

THE RESULT OF APPLICATION.

Seek to acquire the power of continu-
Gus application, without which you can
not expect success. If you do this, you
will soon be able to perceive the distance
which it creates between you and those
who have not such habits. You will not
count yourself, nor will they count you as
one of them. Thus you will find yourself
emerging into the higher regions of intel
lectual and earnest men--men who are
capable of making a place for themselves,
instead of standing idly gaping, desiring a
place without the power to command it.
Keep on striving to accomplish more and
more every day, and thus enlarge con-
stantly the range Of your intellectual abil-
ity. If you learn to do as much work in
one day as you used to do in two or three
days. you are as good as two or three
such men as you formerly were, boiled
down to one.--Dr. Wayland.

AFTER THE GREETING.
by A.A. HOPKINS

Alas all greetings end too soon
Too soon the morning finds it noon
We glide from new to old of moon
And meet, and greet, and part
But Godspeeds warm and true we blend
With each adieu to parting friend,
And hopes that all their way may wenc
Where fragrant blossoms art -.'
0 happy hearts go through the year
With love and light to warm and cheer.
May all the songs'you sing or hear
BE sung of hopeful things
He blesses most, and most is blest,
Who lulls to sleep the wild unrest
That turks in every human breast.
With every song he sings!
0 loving hands 50 softly press
The brows that long for loves caress,
In all their longing tenderness,
That love shall answer you
Who smiles through loving inger-tips
Has prayers in pay, from loving lips,
And sees, amid earth's dark eclipse,
A CLEAN of heaven through
o trusting souls, who wait and pray
Beneath the clouds, in twilight gray
There soon shall dawn a perfect day
Then yield not up your trust
Above the clouds, in purer air,
The sun is shining bright and fair,
And you shall walk in gladness there,
For God is good and just sf''

years old, living in Stanstead, recently

and shortly after a tumblerofrye whiskey.
On the way home he sank down speechless
and helpless, and was taken into black
smith shop by his companions. In the
morning they, through shame, removed
him to barn, but becoming alarmed, fin
ally sent for aphysician. He was remov-
ed to his fathers house, where he soon
died. The jury of inquest found that
he died of "apoplexy, caused by the ex.

COLLECTING LOCAL KNOWLEDGE.

The Ohio Horticultural Society, at its
recent Injecting inaugurated an important
measure. And if it can be made practi;
cal it will be worthy of imitation by other
similar industrial organizations. A special
standing committee was appointed; desig.
mated as a COMMITTEE for the Collection
Of Local Knowledge" This committee
consists of FIVE members, of which f. Il,
Elliott is Chairman and Sec'y, whom to
working management the coming year is
deputed. Three of the members of this
committee are to be reappointed annually
two holding over. The committee is to
decide by ballot which two shall hold
over.
The duties of this committee will be to
supply all agricultural and agrinnlt,,.-f
ol.be and societles IN the State, monthly,
with one and the same subject for discuss
sion at their meetings to. ask the Scores
taries Of these organizations, respectively,
to report these discussions to the chairman
Of the Committee who is to colate the
same, furnish it for publication and send
printed copies thereof to each society,"
Thus the discussion of the same subject
cotemporaneo ously in all parts of the stute
will elicit related facts upon the specified
topics, and make the State one general
mass meeting. This idea is very good
one; and it might be extended to other
organizations in other States with profit.

i, BR1GHAMs POLICY gaHsIi
The policy adopted by Brigham last
October is this to do no trading with the
Gentiles. He believes that it will drive
out the Anti-Mormon element at Salt
Lake, and that it will keep out all Gen
tiles who may be thinking of settling
there taaJ W. ate5ef .eaH
As yet there have been no public lands
sold in the territory, but the land Office is
now open and the sale will commence
in the spring, when every available acre
will be taken up by the Mormons under
Brigham's directions, thus shutting out
completely the Gentle element; for no
Mormon can dispose of his land wltlluut
Brlgham's consent BY Withholding inter-
course with the Gentiles, by taking up the
public lands, by bringing new emigrants
from Europe, by the natural increase of
population, by adherence to their faith,
the Mormons, one and all, believe that the
church will become firmly established.
Their faith looks forward to the time
when Mormonism will be the prevailing
religion in the I. S. when concubinage
will be universally practiced.
now SHALL TIE QUESTION DE SETTLED?
The Mormon problem is soon to come
before the people of the United States for
solution. An attempt will probably be
made by the Mormons, at the next session
eff Congress, to obtain admission into the
Union as State.
Are the people of the United States
ready to have concubinage one of the pill
lars in the new Temple of Liberty which
they are rearing on this continent? 1t
will be largely Mormon population.
They will choose their Senator'S, make
their own laws, and administer justice on
Mormon principles and for the interest Of
the church. They will be beyond reach
Of Congress if Utah becomes State.
1t is proposed to cut the territory into
slices, with the hope of dividing Brigham's
authority, but his power is not limited by
territorial lines. There are thousapds Of
Mormons in Idaho and Montana who be-
lieve in him and are ready TO do his bid
ding.
Shall we ignore political action and
trust to schools and missionaries? How
shall we get schools established? how
obtain the ground? how get foothold in
community determined not to accept any
teachings opposed to Mormonism?
IF Utah asks to be admitted as State
the question of concubinage will be brought
before the people of the United States, and
the quicker it comes the. better for the
welfare of the country.
The system based on the barbarism Of
the past delusion, on Mahomet, the Turk,
the Hindoo and the Hottentot, and the
system of civilization, cannot continue side
by side. One or the other must give
way. Which shall it be?

out of it. Then worms will gnaw it, bugs
will bite it, beetles will bore it, aphides

"a young man from Buffalo called to
see me to-day. He said that he had heard
a young lady in a large company, relating
the story for my beginning sermon with

contradicted it. She affirmed it positive

to him: "When you go back, l wish that
you would take occasion, before witnesses,
to say to that lady, from me, that she
