The Pecuniary Benefits of Christian

Many persons seem quite unaware of
the pecuniary benefits which christianity
confers upon a community. The purely
worldly advantages which the faithful
preaching of the gospel contributes to So
ciety are very great. Piety promotes in
dustry. Industry promotes wealth. A
degraded, vicious, thieving family is pest
in any community. Such family instead
Of being a source of wealth, is a source of
impoverishment and ruin. You may rear
ever so beautiful home, and decorate its
grounds with all the charms of shrubbery
and flowers; but let shanties, where filth
and degradation and thievery congregate,
surround it, and your property is of little
worth. A few miserable families, with
swarms of unwashed, profane and pilfering
children, can sink the value of property
on whole street. Let a drinking saloon,
with its dancing hall, where ragged and
bloated inebriates reel in and out-where
night is rendered hideous by the brawls of
drunken men and drunken women, rise by
the side of your door, and what is your
pleasant home worth? You cannot live
there yourself Who will buy it? No one
but the wretch who wishes to convert it
into another of the manufactures of crime,
and shame, and woe.
Every community must make its choice
between the church and the dram shop.

the Sabbath school and crowd of unwash-
ed, uncombed, thievesh boys and girls, re-
pulsive to every eye, revolving to every ear
growing up to fill the almshouses and the
prisons with the victims of shame and
crime. The religion of Jesus is the only
remedy for these ills. A young man be
comes christian. With congenial sym
pathies, they are united as husband ant
wife. This conversion controls the Who'll,

Christ as our Helper.

The first thought with many a man when
God and eternity becomes real to him is to
do something that will place him in right
position to God that will undo the past,
in some measure make atonement. He be-
Heves he can do this. And if with adj
vancing light it begins to dawn upon him
that there is much Of the irrevocable past
for which he can make no atonement, and
he recurs to Christ, be thinks of him as
Helper, not as a Savior; as a friend in
need who will make up the balance, not a
Redeemer who pays the whole And even
when the dream of making reparation has
been broken, and when the Redeemer's
work has been accepted, how often does
the human spirit revert TO its original and
criminal self reliance. Il amafraid to hope
there is so much evil in me p Then, if you
were sensible of little less evil, or a little
more good, you would hope. And your
hope would be founded, not on the salts
faction of Calvary, but on the victories of
self OF the inner changes that evidence
true faith in Christ, do not now speak,
but of that subtle self righteousness which
is constantly and practically saying in the
heart, with theology and grammar both
questionable-T feel safe, for feel so good.
When any protesting christian, however
true and sincere, is in this temper, he drags
the halter, and is for the time at the mercy
of his foes. He is Off the ground where a
sinner can stand-the perfect righteousness

linen clean and white" and putting on the
Filthy rags" He is dropping that plea
which never was urged in vain; and he is

Seek His Face EVermore.

The Psalmist is speaking of Jehovah.
He exhorts his people to give thanks to
him, to call upon his name, to make known
his wonderful works. to sing to him praises
for them, to rejoice with exceeding joy
and glory in him, and to seek strength from
him. And then, as if to say all in one, he
adds, Seek his face evermore."
His face. His face of favor; that of
which David said, make thy face to shine
upon thy servant" and Asaph, "Cause
thy face to shine and we shall be saved"
The phrase, "to lift up the light of the
countenance upon one" frequently occurs
in the bible, and expresses favor and affec-
ton. The Aaronitic benediction made use
| of it in that sense, ''the Lord lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace" employing it to expand and en-
phasize the petition which it had before
uttered, exactly in accord with David's and
Asaph's prayers above, "the Lord make
his face to shine upon thee, and be gra-
cious unto thee"
He that seeks Gods face evermore, then
seeks to secure that face to be always smil-
ing the sunshine Of approval upon all his
thoughts, and plans, and ways, aud life
He refers everything to God, decides every
thing by its relations 20 Gods will, and
undertakes everything because of its un-
derstood coincidence with Gods design:
and desires.
This implies reason and conscience en-
lightened by the Word. 1t implies, also
and much more, truly tender, loyal anC
loving heart, which turns towards Jehoyal
as naturally as the sunfower twists upor
its stalk, to follow the daily westward jour
neying of the sun.
There is nothing sweeter, nothing purer
nothing richer, on earth, than the absorb
ing, admiring, imprisoned affection Will
which little daughter often regards he
father. To her he is the impersonation 0
all excellence, and her eye follows hin
proudly, yearningly, wherever he goes
while her plans, hopes, thoughts, all cen
ter in, and cluster around him. Q the ex
quisite joy of some christian household

by such confidence and such attachment
, That gives q shadow of the substance 0

: the devout disciple, who has turned, q
last, from the beggarly elements of tn
2 world toward the treasures of a true hop

grow in wisdom ways, and those comfort

A Beautiful Idea,

Away among the Alleghanies there is
spring so small that single OK in sum-
mer's day could drain it dry. 1t steals its
unobtrusive way among the hills, till it
spreads out into the beautiful Ohio, thence
it stretches away thousand miles, leaving
on its banks more than a hundred villages
and cities, and many cultivated farm,
and bearing half thousand steamboats,.
Then joining the Mississippi, it stretches
away twelve hundred miles or more, till it
falls into the emblem of eternity. 1t is one
of the tributaries of the ocean, which, ODE
dent only to God, shall roll and roar till
the angel with one foot on the sea and the
other on the land, shall lift up his hand
and swear that time shall be no longer
So with moral influence. 1t is a rill-a
rivulet-a river-an ocean and is bound
less and fathomless as eternity.

MANAGEMENT of Brood Sows

A writer in the Agricultural Review says
that the food of sows should be varied and
moderately salt abundant enough to keep
them thriving, yet not sufficient to fatten.
1t is well to give them charcoal occasion
ally, and a trife of sulphur. The slops Of
the house are good feed. All this tends to
keep the appetite in healthy state and to
destroy the tendency of the swine to deyour
their young They should not be closely
conined-a small yard at least should be
attached to their sleeping pens for them to
go into at will. Change of quarters, espe-
cially when near the time of giving birth
to their young, is apt to work injury, and
should be carefully made if necessary
They should be supplied with great album
dance of straw or other suitable bedding
and allowed to work it down somewhat
fine and compact. and into bed of their
own liking. In winter time it requires a
warm pen, and ample bedding and care to
raise the young pigs. If poles are around
tuc SluC VI INV pen AiSh ChOuSo mum VIZ
floor to give room for the pigs underneath,
it will frequently save them from being
lain on and killed, as the SOW cannot press
close enough to the wall to injure them,
and she is not so apt to kill them in other
positions as in this one.
During the first week in the age of pigs,
the mother should be disturbed as little as
possible Especially strangers should not
approach her. Give her warm drink, and
but a small quantity of food If she is do
ing well and is quiet, and takes care of her
young, 'let well enough alone" After a
weeks time you can feed more, and when
the pigs begin to come to the trough and
eat, you will have ample space to dispose
of all the spare meal and buttermilk your
premises afford.

vine looked again upon its neighbor in Ju-
ly, and saw the rosy, swelling fruit, and
said, 81, to, will bear fruit" The fruit
came, but. sad to say, it was small and
crude, and, while yet green, the gardener
plucked it off. lest the plant should spend
its strength there. The disappointed vine,
which dropped whitening to the ground,
was unmindful that its mission had been
performed quietly out of sight under
ground
Men are ambitious to serve by the top
when God sometimes chooses the service
of the root. The day of the resurrection
will unearth the usefulness of many hum
BILE men; and some disappointed christian
workers whose favorite plans have come to
nought, will find unknown treasures attrib-
uted to their fidelity. The life serves, tho
the purposes may have been vain.
Take comfort, then, long, faithful labor
er, if at last disappointed. The gardener
is not disappointed though the plant be
robbed of flower or fruit. He is looking
for something better beneath If the life
of the Master has been in you, virtue has
gone from you to some one in the crowd
You do not know whittier, or to whom
but he will tell you when he comes Con-
