not likely 10 be practiced by an unre.
newed person. There IL more piety In
the devotion Of Nathaniel when he
bowed nlcne beneath the gtree, than
In all the ostentatious prayers Of ply
lactery adorned Pharisees at corners OF
the streets. The poor widow who modest
~ cast into the treasury her hard earned
"mite," gave greater evidence of pisty
than did the wealthy Jew, whose golden
coins ratified their own praises as they
fell into the chest. Desire CT applause,
pride of consistency, or dread of censure,
may prompt to external devotedness;
but only piety towords Cod Gun lead
perseveringly and joyfully to the clos
ct, to the chamber OF atiiiction and pow
erty, to the alleys and lanes In search
Opportunities to do good. The child
Is dutiful who obeys its fathers request
In little matters, who seeks opportuni-
ties to please, and who watches for occa-
sion to show his love. So general obe-
dience may warrant the belief that Il
man is Christian; but he furnishes
greater evidence of love to God, whose
heart overlooks no little thing that may
please Him, or glorify his name. There
was no piety in Peters burst of zeal,
when he hewed off the ear of the high
priests servant; but there WIS in
Mary's quiet approacl, when her rain
ing tears washed the Savior's feet. The
unostentatious duties Of Christianity,
those that never win public applause,
that only find place in the tenor of or
dinary life, show more satisfactory proofs
of the power of Godliness upon the
heart, than any ebulIitions Of zeal, or
spasmodic starts of devotion.

How the Turks Work.

The methods of labor are peculiar.
The Turk will invariably sit at his oc-
cupation, if possible. The trader, in
his little store, all exposed to the street,
NAV thus be seen, cross-legged, tailor
fashion, drawing in the smoke of his
marghile, through its long flexible tube,
seemingly lost to all sublunary affairs,
and indifferent whether customers come
Of 20. fla mechanic, he also sits, II
possible, and thus see them, pressing
the block-of waod which they are fash
joining, between the soles of their feet.
The blacksmith, in his evep-by7nlne
shop, digs hole to stand In, bringing
the anvil nearer his arm. If q log OF
timber, forty on fifty feet in length, is to
be con verted into planks, it is first raised
by main force on wooden horses six or
seven feet high, and then one man
above, and another below, pull the saw
requiring good days work for the
two, to do what a Maine saw mill would
accomplish in five or ten minutes. And
so through all the walks of life. The
ancient scribe is also a Turkish instttu-
ton. You find him cross-legged in his
shop, with writing materials before
him, ready to write letter for you
draw an instrument, or sell you the ma.
terials for yourself. Perhaps yondel

for his devotions, at this fast Of Rama.

Caro- OF Boots and Shoes.

Boots and shoes, il taken care Of prop
erly, will last two or three times longer
than they usually do, and at the same
time lit the feet far more satisfactorily,
and keep them dry and more com fortl-
bic In wet and cold weather. The upper
leather should be kept soft and pliable,
while the soles need to be hard, tough
and impervious to water. The first
thing to be done with any pair of new
shoes for farm use, Is to set each one on
q platter or an old dinner plate, and
pour on boiled linseed oil, sufficient to
an the vessel to the upper edge of the
soles. Allow the leather to absorb as
much oil rs 1t will for eight hours. Lin
seed oil should not he applied to the up
per leather, AS 1t will soon become dry,
rendering the leather hard and tough.
But If the soles be saturated with this
oil, it will exclude tho dampness, and
enlsrge the pegs. 80 that the sole will
never get loose from the upper leather.
Ii the above be sewed, the linsced oil
will preserve the thread from rotting.
Now, wet the upper leather thoroughly
when the boots or shoes are to be put on
the feet, 9" that those, p"rts which al,
tight may render trifle, and thus adapt
the form Of the shoe to the foot far more
satisfactorily than when the uppc,
leather is not wet. Keep them on the
feet until the leather Is nearly dry
Then give the upper leather a thorough

tallow, or with tallow and neat's.fool
oil. Ii shoes be treated in this manner
and a row Of round.headed shoe nail.
be driven around the edge of the soles
they will wear like copper, and Away
set easy to the feet. Boots aud shoe
should be treated rs suggested, ant
worn little several months before they
are to be put to daily service. This !
the true way to save your shoe

How Maidens Worship.
From the Louisville Courier journal

from the Louisville courier journal.
a casual peep into the prayer books
which lie scattered about in the pews Of
some ofour Eashionable churches reveals
the fact that what has hitherto been
looked upon only as means Of commu-
nicating with God may be made the
channel for at least four things which
have a very remote connection with re-
ligion, viz: criticism, love making, gos-
sip and poetry. Under the first head
ing: "Who is that gentleman that just
came in with Annie Brown" 81 don't
know, but she looks like aperfect fright
in that shepherdess hat, with that great
bunch of curls underneath, five shades
lighter than her own hair" or this, In

or that old sontlsn,an in the gown il

This reverent remark has reference, OF
course, to the officiating clergyman).
Under the second heading: "Does your
ma know your out?'' "No, but my
sweetness does" ."You needn't go to-
night when pa shuts up tho house; he
always does that at nine O'Clock" "You
bet.' (This touching conversation is
carried on through the medium Of q
lead pencil and the replies are written
in n bold, masculine hand, with many
flourishes). Under the third heading;
"Just look at Mary in pink silk. She
is 80 If she is day, and will be wearing
bibs next" ''She has turned her dress
and dyed it," tThese remarks are made
In fine, pointed handwriting, which
betrays the writer's sex). Under the
fourth heading we find various frag
mentary verses, which were certainly
not taken from Watts Hymns, such as
"If you love me as love you,' etc, or
"Perdition catch my soul, but do love
thee" or, "Would that thou vert hlin'
own love" If people will ne sacri

Sun baths cost nothing, and are the
most refreshing, life giving baths that

of giving her wooleps the benefit of the

the sun. Many will think of the injury

casionai exposure of their own bodies to
the sunlight is equally necessary to their
own health. The sun baths cost moth

are still dcluded with the idea that those
things only can be good or useful which
cost money. Let it not be forgotten that

Where the Farmers Monay Goes.
A writer in the Prairie Farmer took,
the truuble to count the farm tools he
saw lying out exposed To the weather
and going to ruin, in a few days ride,
as be passed them. There was no less
than twenty wagons, nine bugges two
gigs, thirty four sleds and three cutters,
four rlows left in the furrows where
they had last been used, and twenty
three by the road side. and thirteen
double shovel plows. Nineteen reapers
costing three hundred dollars each and
upwards, were standing out In all posi-
tions, while seven mowers were backed
up In the fence corners. Eight horse
rakes aud six corn secdetso shared the
same fate. Here was not less than
twenty five thousand dollars worth Of
perishab!e and very valuable property,
left uncared for by the owners on a sim
gle road, who, after they have paid taxes
and store bills, 5an 60 and bey more, II
they have any money left, while each
man will loose three or four weeks tine
next summer running 70 1spalf shopU
and working with used up tools. Such
men are real blessings to blacksmiths.

builders, &c, &c; whatever they may

How TO BE NOBODY. Young man, |!
Is easy - he nobooy. Go to the drink
ing saloon to spend your leisure. You
need not drink much now, Just a little
beer or some other drink. In the mean
time play dominoes, checkers or some-
thing else, to kill time, so that you will
be sure not to read any useful book or,
If you do read, let ii be tlre dime novels
ofthe day. Thus go on, keeping your
stomach full, head empty, and yourself
playing time killing games, and in y
few years you'll be nobody, unless you
should turn out drunkard or profess
sional gambler, either of which is to be
worse than to be nobody. There are
many men about our towns just ready
to graduate and be nobodies.

FARM Proverbs. Do not keep more
live stock on your farm than you can
keep well.
House all your things as much a.
possible animals, utensils and your
crops.
Sell when you can get n fair price,
and do not store for rats and specula-
tors.
The more comfortable you can keep
your animals, the better they will
thrive.
A good COW is profitable machine
the more food she properly digests, the
greater profit.
A few roots daily to all stock, are as
welcome as apples are to boys and
girls.
