A Valuable Cow.

We clip the following from the New Ha
ven Register. 1t is worthy Of note, in this
connection, that although milk giving
qualities are supposed to be Inherited prin-
cipally from the mother, still all the heif-
ers got by the grandsire of this COW have
been notable for rich milk;
"A few days ago, Mr.. Charles Webster,
Of this city, sold an AlderEey COW, raised
from a calf taken from the Donald G..
Mitchell farm, to Mr.. james Andrews, of
Bethany, agreeing that if four quarts Of
the cows milk did not furnish one pound
of butter, Mr.. Andrews need not pay for
her the large price agreed upon, or, in fact,
any thing at all. Yesterday, Mr.. Andrews
was in town, and assured Mr.. Webster that
the COW did even better than recommended
and that it does not take four quarts of her
milk to make pound of butter Who can
beat that?

Three Blows.

"a gentleman had three beautiful lovely
little daughters. They were the idols of
their fathers heart. He was not chris
tian. The little girls bad learned to love
Jesus, and they often prayed together for
their father.
zone of his dear little band was taken
sick with disease which was unto death
She went rapidly down the bank of the
cold river of death. When dying, she
called her father to her and said: Dear
father, am about stepping into the river,
and shall soon be on the shining shore. |
am going to see Jesus very soon. | want
you to promise to meet me in heaven
Promise me, father" said the beseeching
young girl.
"But the father would not promise, and
she went down to death without it. At
length second girl came down with dis
ease, and sunk rapidly toward the grave.
When she found she was going, she called
her father to her bedside, and said she was
going soon to join her sister in heaven. She
asked him if he would meet her in heaven.
Still the hard heart of the father vouch-
saied no assurance to cheer the heart Of the
little daughter, and she went on her jour
ney through the dark valley and shadow
of death without it.
Then the third and only remaining
daughter sickened, and her case soon be-
came hopeless. She had seen how her sis
tiers had died. fearing no evil as they step
ped into the dark shadow. So she APP
preached the dark valley with the same as
surance, that Jesus would be with her and
His rod and His staff should comfort her.
Feeling herself to be going, she also called
her father to her and, stretching out her
little hand and grasping his, she said -
Father, | am going to see my little sisters,
which have gone to Jesus in heaven. You
believe they are now with Him in heaven.
shall soon be there too, and wethree shall
be together and we shall join the everlast
ing song. Now, dear-dear father, will you
promise me, before | go, that you will meet
us all in heaven7" The heart of the faith
er broke down, and he answered, 81 will
| will" And with smile on her face, the
little girl departed into the unseen world,
and winged her joyful flight up to the gates
Of the celestial city. Three dreadful blows
had to be struck before that stout heart
would yield, but now he gives evidence
that he has experienced the great change.
80 God carries on and accomplishes the
victories of His grace. So all over the
great West God is bringing sinners to re-
pentance."

All Fullness in Jesus,

This arrangement of putting all the full
ness into Christ pleases the Father; does
it please you? Are you willing to live life
of faith upon the Son of God; life of con-
slant, entire dependence new creaturely
life? Have you learnd to say
"I'm poor sinner, and nothing at all,
But Jesus Christ is my all in ALL"
Do you begin to see beauty, sweetness.

makes you rejoice, and thank God for it =?

Deeds not Words.

Why call We me Lord. and do not the thing
which say?"
Not forever on thy knees
Would Jehovah have thee found;
There are burdens thou canst ease,
There are griefs Jehovah sees;
Look around.
Work is prayer, if done for God
Prayer which God delighted hears;
see beside yon upturned sod
One bowed meath affliction's rod:
Dry her tears.
Not long prayers, but earnest zeal
This is what is wanted more,
Put thy shoulder to the wheel;
Bread unto the famished deal
From thy store.
Not high sounding words of praise
Does God want meath some 81 and dome
But that you the fallen raise,
Bring the poor from life's highways
10 thy home.
Worship God by doing good,
Works, not words, kind acts and deeds
He who loves God as he should,
Makes his hearts love understood
By kind deeds.
Deeds are powerful, words are weak.
Batt'ring AT high Heavens door;
Let thy love by actions speak
Wipe the tear from sorrows cheek;
Cothe the poor.
Be it thine life's cares to smother,
And to brighten eyes now dim;
Kind deeds done to one another
Gud accepts as ne, my brother,
Unto Him.

Dutch Grade Cattle.

All who have attended our county fair
during the last two years have doubtless
noticed the young cattle there that were
black or black and white. Mr.. T. Baker
of Barton, and A. NJ. Ripley of Coventry,
have obtained the Dutch stock so lately
that the Oldest of the stock raised are only
two years old. 1 suppose l have the first

She calved the 18th of February, when %!

90 pounds of milk day, but has decreased
somewhat. March 18th, she gave Is lbs.

COWS and the milk of this heifer is as rich

My opinion is that these cattle are going
to prove hardy, gentle, and good mixers

Job Throckmorton, Puritan minister
who is described by his contemporaries ''as
being as holy and as choice preacher as
any one in England" is said to have lived
thirty-seven years without any comfortable
assurance as to his spiritual condition
When dying, he addressed the venerable
John Dodd; what will you say to him
who is going out of the world, and can find
no comfort?' What will you say of him, y
replied Mr.. Dodd, "who, when he was 60
ing out of the world, found no comfort, but
cried, My God, my God, why hast Thou
forsaken me?'" This prompt reply admin
istered consolation to the troubled spirit of
his dying friend, who departed within an
hour after, rejoicing in the Lord.

of this same thing, marching on ones post
Then again multitudes stand as if their
feet were glued to the ground, with no mo-
ton at all; others have their feet pinched
within tight and narrow ecclesiastical ex-
clusiveness, SO that they cannot walk with
out pain; others still have such clumsy,
heavy and ill-titting shoes that their feet
are like Jumps of lead again you seethose
who have undressed their feet altogether

They think of nothing but their own ease.

Christ comes to us morning by morning
to present to US, for the day then opening,
divers little crosses, thwartings of our own
will, interference with our plans, disap-
pointments of our little pleasures. Do we
kiss them, and take them up and follow in
His rear. like Simon the Cyrenian? Or do
we toss them from us scornfully because
they are SO little, and wait for some great
affection to approve our patience AMI our
resignation to His will /? All, how might
we accommodate to the small matters of
religion generally those words of the Lord
especting the children, Take heed that
ye despise not one of these little ones
Despise not little sins; they have ruined
many soul. Despise not little duties
they have been to many saved man an
excellent discipline of humility. Despise
not little temptations; rightly met they
have often nerved the character for some
fiery trial. And despise not little crosses
for when taken up, and lovingly accepted
at the Lords hand, they have made men
meet for great crown, even the crown Of
righteousness and life, which the LORD
hath promised to them that love Him.

SOWING Grass Seed with other Crops.

Grass and clover are both crops. But
most farmers treat the two as if they were
not crops. The Prairie Farmer, when al
luding to the subject of sowing seed only
when land is stocked down, says that this
attempt to kill three birds with one stone
is aiming to do entirely too much. There
can be little doubt that it is an injury to
both crops to SOW grain and grass together,
If there is a good ''catch" of grass, there
are less bushels of grain in the bin than
would otherwise have been there On the
other hand, if there is a very heavy growth
of straw, there will probably be very sick
ly growth of grass, which will wither up as
soon as the grass is out Of the way par
ticularly if the cutting of it is succeeded by
a drouth, as is often the case at that time
of year It is probably not true that gras-
ses, in this climate at least, need protection
from the sun, even in The earlier stages Of
their growth, if the seeds are sown suffi-
GENTLY early in the season, or the ground
has a suitable supply of moisture. Nearly
every one has noticed in grain fields that
| have been seeded down to grass, that
wherever the grain was very thin, OF where
by accident, none come up, there the grass
was abundant These spots Of yerdure Of
| ten look in the fall like little GASES in the
midst of a desert.

Our Chart.

If you would know whether the Bible be
true in its teachings, you must do by it as
you do by chart. The chart is nothing
but piece of paper and what good would
it do for half dozen captains to sit down
on shore and discuss its merits? How can
they know whether its descriptions are cor
rect or not? Let them take it on board
and prove it by sailing by it. That is
true chart on trial. If there is a rock
where it says rock" if there is shoal
where it says shoal ;" if there is a cur
rent where it says current" if it is safe
where it says safe, " then it is true chart,
no matter who made it, or how, or when,
or where it was made
1t is the sea that is the best test of a
chart; so is the human life the test of the
bible Take Gods word, in which human
life is charted down, and measure charac-
ter and conduct by it: measure your whole
self by it; measure Gods grace by it, and
see if it is not tue. Would you know the
truth of the bible? Become a christian
"If any man will do his will, ," says Christ,
che shall know of the doctrine which |
teach"
