An EXAMPLE FOR YOUNG MEN.-The
Greenfield Gazette publishes the follow
ing little story about IA family, some
members of which are already pretty we'll
known, with a prospect that they will be
still better known hereafter Some
years ago there lived in neighborIng
town man Of integrity. Tanning and
currying leather was his occupation. He
had several sons one of them learned
the business of his father After he left
home he went to Boston and there en-
gagged in the same occupation. During
his leisure hours, instead OF trequentlng
saloons and other places of low resort,
vice, he found the room of the Mer-
chants library association. Here he
spent his evenings. storing his mind with
useful knowledge. He there became ac
quainted with some OF the members.
They supposing him to be merchant,
thought him good fellow, and invited
him to join their association, which he
gladly accepted, but upon inquiring as to
his business, it was found that he was
not eligible, for in an article in their by
laws no mechanic could be admitted as a
member. You may imagine that his re-
fusal, upon such a foundation, was a
pretty sharp cut for sensitive mind.
This narrow-minded view OF large
philanthropy wrought in him firm res
olution that in his intercourse with man
kind he would treat men according to
merit, regardless of occupation. He let.

their compliments, and in such a manner,
too, as to nettle my temper just little.

and cleaned the grass carefully away
from around the trees, yet those little
thieves steal into my orchard and garden
and very cody girdle my choicest trees.
put my wits to work to devise some
sure remedy that would be cheaply and
quickly done. Take equal parts of pine
tar and fish-oil. mix together thoroughly
by warming, then take Il brush and put
on the trees close to the ground, and
twelve or fifteen inches up around the
body. 1t will not injure the trees, and
there will be no more trouble with mice.
| tried the experiment on fifty trees, last
winter, and it worked like charm. My
trees were never more thrifty than dur

GrOiU Corn Fodder.

\ correspondent writing to the Canada
Farmer says he keeps a dairy Of twenty
SIX cows, the milk of which is disposed
of at cheese factory that last June
he sowed an acre of corn in drills, and
commenced cutting and feeding TO the
COWS daily the first OF July. When the
September rains came on he remItted the
corn feeding four days, and the result
was diminution of fitty-two pounds of
milk per day. The corn feeding was
aguin resumed, and in four days, the
COWS gave their customary quantity OF
milk. The increased flow OF milk doubly
paid the cost of feed given. This is an
important fact, and should induce dairy
men to provide this kind Of nourishment
for their stock at q season OF the year
when pasturage is short. In fact it
would seem that the former may be
profitably substituted for the latter under
any or all circumstances, as the yield of
green corn fodder to the acre is very
great, and the cost OF producing it COM
paratively light.

United States, while spending a Sabbath
in Chicago, walked out in the morning
unattended, to find a place of religious
worship. He chanced to drop in among
the followers of John Wesley, and as he
was plainly clad, the usher in attendance
took pains to seat the great captain
among the plebians near the door. Great
was the grief and modification of the
usher on learning that he had thus rudely
received an "angel unawares." A coun-
Gil was Immediately called, but it was
deemed best not to attempt rectifying the
mistake. This simple fact we received
from the pastor, and although of no great
moment, it is nevertheless significant as
indicating the course commonly pursued,
of making an attempt to draw dividing
lines between high and. low in the
churches. And herein lies the trouble in
question.-American builder.
