Alarming Colts when Shoeing.

No man of sense conversant with horses,
will deny that where the generality of them
resist, fear, not vice, is the cause of it. Fear,
then, is the first thing we should do away
with in the colt, and nothing but beginning
with him from his infancy will do this.
We have frequently great deal of trou-
Bile in shoeing colt the first time it is done.
How, in the name of common sense, could
we expect any thing else? A goose natu-
rally chooses to stand on one leg We have
had to do with some thousands of horses, but
we must say we never saw one voluntarily
stand upon three, unless in great agony with
the fourth. The actual fear of falling will
make the colt resist being held in Ito him)
an unnatural position yet the animal is ex-
pected to allow smith to hold him by force
in position for quarter of an hour togeth-
er, that he never before stood in for min
ute in his life. He perhaps kicks at this (;
when, to re assure his fears, he probably gets
stroke with the hammer. This is enough
to make horse troublesome to shoe for life.
Many horses hate smiths; some will not APP
proach forge. This does not proceed from
the kindness thew have received from such
men or in such places. Some horses will not
permit smith to come near them in his
smiths dress; put the groom's stable dress
on him, and the horse will allow himself to
be shod Can anything speak palmer? The
animal does not resist your wishes, or care
about being shod; he breads the smith, not
the shoeing. Horses have no natural antip-
athy to smiths or FORCES, but they have to i'll
usage. A colt has no more natural objection
to permitting you to touch his hind leg than
his head and if from the first his hind legs
were as often handled as his neck, he would
no more kick at you for doing this than he
would bite or strike at you for handling his
fore quarters, 1t is the novelty of any act
that alarms the young horse, not the act it
self.-ETchdnoe

Both God and man are employed in COW
ering sin. God covers it in his free, un-
bounded mercy. Man covers it in his shame
and guilt. How many try to cover their
sins not only from others, but from their
own eyes. They try to give it soft name,
to plead some excuse, or to put it out of
mind and thus Danish the convictions of
conscience. Sometimes they will throw the
blame upon others.
But these attempts can never prosper
Conscience will sometimes cry out. The
providence of God will sometimes bring the
transgressor to sudden and open shame.
The eye of God is never taken off from him
for a single moment, and there is no dark
ness nor shadow of death where the workers
of iniquity may hide themselves.
How much better to confess all our sin
penitently and humbly before God. He
knows it all now-but he requires that we
should confess it, because this is for our
good.
Remember two things: The first is that
even when we have made this confession,
that cannot atone for our sin. Nothing but
the atonement of Christ-nothing but his all,
perfect righteousness will answer.
The other thing to be remembered is
and let it sink down into our hearts-that
if our confession does not lead US to forsake
our sins it is worthless-it is a mOckery Of
God.
But if We confess and forsake it, Gods
free grace-GOd's infinite mercy will forgive,
will blot it all out of his book.
"Depth of mercyl Can there be,
Mercy for wretch like me?'

Cheapening Human Life.

The Nation concludes discussion of the
capital punishment question with the follow
ing we'll put argument, which will bear a
serious consideration by any who desire to
settle this issue on grounds of reason rather
than of mere sentiment:
AS regards the punishment of murder, we
believe that no community can retain pro-
per sense of the sanctity of human life in
which man who has deliberately slain a
fellow creature is not removed forever from
the sight of his fellows. We do not care
how this is done, provided it be done. No
boy can continue to look on murder as q
very dreadful offence, if, as he grows up, he
sees murderers walking about in the streets
as free, and apparently as happy, as other
people; and no criminal can hesitate much
about shooting man after robbing him, or
blowing a policeman's brains out, as Real
did here the other day, if he every day meets
friends and acquaintance who have done
the same thing, and expiated it by few
years Imprisonment. Now, those who ad-
vocate the abolition of the death penalty, do
not even attempt to offer any equal efficient
means of removing murderers out of our
sight They know perfectly well that in
the present state of American society and
politics the penalty they offer as substitute
is simply seven years Imprisonment, or less,
and that what they propose is in reality to
place the taking of mans life on the same
level, in the eye of the law, as taking his
watch or forging his name; and yet they
accuse the advocates of the death penalty,
of helping to lower the popular appreciation
of the sanctity of life.

CHRIST IN GLORY is the proof of the CON-
plete and all-suficient value of his death. If
friend becomes surety for me, and is thrown
into prison on account of my debt, and l
afterwards meet that friend walking at lib
erty, l am sure he must have made full sat
isfaction for my debt, otherwise he would
not be out of prison. So the Lord, at the
right hand of power on high, is a proof that
he has answered to the full every demand
of God against me as sinner. His death
is everything or nothing. 1t is either the
entire blotting out and cancelling of every
charge that can be made against me, or it
avails me nothing.

REV. GEORGE TRAsK publisbes the folio

REV. GEORGE TRAsK publishes the follow
ing antidote for the Unsuitable appetite for
tobacco: 81. Make the most of your wiU.
Drop tobacco, and resolve never to use it
again in any form. 2 Go to an apothecary,
and buy ten cents worth of gentian root,
coarsely ground. 3. Take as much of it after
each meal, or oftener, as amounts to CON
mon quld of 'fne-c or 'cavandisli. 4.
Chew it well, and swallow all the saliva. S.
Continue this few weeks, and you will
come off congueror; then thank God, and
thank u.s." Mr.. Trask gives the following
reasons in support of his remedy: Gentian
is tonic, bitter in taste, and will do much
to neutralize and allay your taste for to-
bacco. 2. Gentian is nervine. 1t will
brace up your relaxed and fabby nerves,
and save you from the 'awful gOneness'
under which victims agonize. 3. Gentan
for short time is an innocent substitute for
the quid or pipe. 1t employs the mouth,
beguiles the attention, and gives helping
hand to drowning man."

To the Flowers.

Wake little wild flowers, under the snow,
Lying all winter, waiting to blow.
Wake, for the storm clouds of winter are past;
Wake, now, nor fear the cold, chilling blast.
Up through the messy grown meadows now peep
Opening dewy eyes, fresh from your sleep
Nestled in grassy bed, close in the fold
OF your leaGness wrapped from the cold.
Sweet blue violets, pets yellow-eyed,
Seek not from our glad searching to hide:
Suffer US just to gather few
Beautiful blossoms stepped in the dew.
May. buds buttercups wake, and unfold
Leaves flushing, red or yellow as gold.
Wake, for the birds are singing on high;
Warmer the sun burns; soft is the sky;
Green are the woodlands lately so drear.
Wake, then, my darlings 'tis spring time ofyear'

SUNDAY UNDER THE SHAwL.-A woman
forgot to send home some work on Saturday.
On Sunday morning she told little girl
who lived with her to put on her things and
take the bundle under her shawl to the lady S
house. Nobody will see it, she said.
"But is it not Sunday under my shawl,
aunty?" she said.
Yes, it is Sunday in the back yard as well
as in the front yard; Sunday down stairs as
we'll as up stairs-in the kitchen as well as
in the parlor. Dear children, let your be-
havior be in tune, and not out Of tune, with
the sweet quiet of the Lords day.

THE Willow WHISTLE.-Who does not
love to make willow whistle, or to see one
made? Can you not recall your first lesson
in the art-the cutting of the flexible bough,
the choosing a smooth part, passing the
knife around it, above and below, pounding
it judiciously, ringing it earnestly, and feel
ing the hollow cylinder of bark at last slip
ping on the sappy, ivory-White, fragrant
wood? That little plaything grew, with
the growth of art and civilization, to be the
great organ which thunders at Harlem or
in Boston. Respect the willow whistle

Story for the Little Ones.
OLD PILGRIM,

Little children, gather round me,
And q story viii tell;
For know that little children
Always love o story well.
Once, far back in golden autumn,
In the sunshine roamed a child,
Seeking, ever seeking something,
That should please her fancy wild.
Round about the house and garden
Ran her restless little feet,
Till she spied the barn in building;
But as yet twas incomplete.
Up, far up, she saw her father,
On che roof, 50 high and tall;
So up the ladder quickly climbed she,
Never thinking she might fall.
When she gained the lofty station,
Very charming was the sight;
Woods and fields, and brown old farm house,
All we're bathed in golden light.
There she stood, all fearless, dreaming
Day-dreams that she loved so well,
Wishing she were Just q birdie,
10 the lofty trees to dwell.
And so earnest was she thinking,
That her wishes gushed in song;
When her father caught the murmur,
Down to her he crept along;
Caught her by her russell garments;
Clasped her to his trembling breast;
And perhaps o little moment,
Thought he loved this child the best.
So be bore her down the ladder,
Laid her on her mothers breast;
Safest place this side of heaven
For little maid to restl
Then he told the fearful story,
To the trembling mothers ear,
As she closer clasped her darling
In her gratitude and fear.
Years have passed, and now the maiden,
In home by heaven blest,
Tells her little flock her story,
As she lays them down to rest.
Eneeling, then, she looks to heaven,
With this earnest, pleading cry,
"Bring me safely down, my Father,
IF strive TO climb too high"

TEMPERANCE.-An exchange paper quite
pithily remarks: "Men eat too much, fret
COO much, exercise too little, sleep too little,
and then drink whiskey. Let them turn them
selves into the fresh air, eat simple food, sleep
enough, and they will bemore healthy" Says
DR.. Guthrie: "If you want to keep dead
man, put him in whiskey; if you want to
kill living man, put the whiskey into him"

What Railroads Do for Farmers,

To haul forty bushels OF corn fifty miles on a
wagon costs, says the Agriculturist at least $l2
for team, driver, and expenses A railroad would
transport it for 81 at most Allowing an average
of forty bushels per acre, the crop would be worth
So more per acre, or eight per cent on 500. AS
the relative advantage is about the same for other
crops, it is clear that railroad passing through
town would add 500 per acre to the value of
farms. A town ten miles square contains sixty-four
thousand acres. An increase of 500 per acre is
equal to $1,000, 600, or enough to build two hun.
dred miles of railroad. even if it cost $l2, 900 per
mile. But two hundred miles of road would ex-
tend through twenty towns ten miles square, and
cost but $40 per acre if taxed upon the land
These figures are given merely as an illustration
If the farmers had taxed themselves to build all
the railroads in this country and given them away
to any company that would stock and run Them
the present increased value of their land would
have well repaid all the outlay.

The Country Gentleman says, very sensi-
bly,, that the question of success in farming,
as in merchandise and mechanics, and also
in all various professions, depends more
upon the man than upon the calling he fol-.
lows; for he who brings sound and thought
full mind, with determined energy, to his aid,
by close attention to his calling, whatever
it may be, is almost sure to be successful.
