Tobacco.

TOBACCO poss esses only to a very
limited extent the narcotic power so con
spicuously displayed by opium. Its food
action, however, is correspondingly prom
nent. 1t retards, as is supposed, the ret
rograde change which is constantly going
on in our tissues. The nutritive forces of
the economy thus gain an ascendency,
which results in an increase of the bulk of
the body. Whether or not this be the
correct explanation, tobacco and its con-
geners undoubtedly do promote nutrition
when used properly; and this, indeed, is
che of the benefits attending their judici-
Gus Use.
The habitua, consumption of this drug,
however, is incompatible with full mental
energy. The noblesl function of the body
that of ministering TO spiritual and
mental growth-can be performed only by
the brain and it is on this organ, sc VIC
have seen, that the effects of tobacco are
first and most powerfully felt.
BY its sedative, benumbing influence
active work is retarded, and after a time a
condition of hyper nutrition is induced by
its use, in which the brain is as slow to
respond to its stimuli as was Dickens fat
boy, Joe, to the calls of his master, Wardle.

A Little Boys Rebuke.

THERE was once very old man who
lived in the house with his son. The old
man was deaf his eyes were dim, and his
legs weak and thin. When he was at the
table he could hardly hold his spoon, so
much did his hands shake, and at times he
would spill his soup on the table. All this
vexed his sons wife, and they made the
old man sit in the corner behind the stove
There he ate his food from the earthen-
ware dish, and he had not always too much
To eat, as you may guess.
Well, one day his trembling hands could
not hold the dish--it fell to the floor and
broke. AT this his son and sons wife were
so vexed that they spoke harshly to the
poor old man. His only answer was
deep, sad sigh. Then they brought HIM
bowl made of wood, out of which he had
to eat his food. Not long after this his
grandson, a boy about seven years of age,
was seen at work following out log of
wood. His parents could not guess what
he was trying to do. The little boy said
nothing to any one, but kept at his work
on the log, and looked very grave, as if he
had some great work on hand.
"What are you doing there" asked the
father.
The little boy did not want to tell. Then
his mother asked:
"What are you doing there, my son?'
"Oh," said he, I'm only making a
trough such as our pigs eat out off,
but what are you making 1t for? ?"
g am making it," said he, for you
and father to eat out of when grow up"
The parents looked at each other ard
burst into tears. From that time forth
they treated the old man well. He had
the best place at the table, nice dish and
plenty of food.

Sound Sentiments.

The Revolution has scattered not little
loose talk on social questions, and we are
therefore the more glad to find it in this
sensible paragraph in the discussion of the
Mcfarland case:
The relation of husband and wife is too
sacred to allow any attempt to be made to
seduce the affections of either from the
other without a protest uttered or felt by
every true hearted woman in the land
The duty of every married woman is to
make the most of the relation into which
she has voluntarily entered, and her duty
to God and herself require her to regard
the obligations of that relation as OF the
weightiest character. While, therefore,
the violation of these Obligations is to her
a crime, the act of the man who would
tempt her allegiance is also a crime, and
one in most cases of greater magnitude.
We would, however, apply the same rule
to the husband who treats lightly his obi
cations to conjugal duty and to the woman
who tempts him from the path of virtue,
that we would to the wife and her tempter.
On either side it is an invasion of the no.
/ lest of holes in social life. There may be
causes which justify, and even some which
necessitate, divorce on the part of either,
but until such divorce is lawfully obtained,
or until the point is reached where, in any
ceased the party seeking such divorce has
no right to make or accept a suggestion OF
another union.

save soul than that poor woman could be
cured of her hemorrhage by listening to
the sermon on the Mount. Her faith was
in the person, and its expression was the
creeping up to reach out her finger to his
garments hem. The bible no where de-
clares saving faith to be an intellectual as
sent to truth, but simply the trusting OF
ones sonl 70 Jesus. A single touch sutfi-
ces to prove the existence of such faith.
One difference between that woman's
case and our own must not be forgotten
She needed only one touch. That healed
her entirely, and forever. But oh, how
often we need to come up close to the Heal
er, the Pardoner, the Giver of strength =
Not only once in a lifetime, but again and
again. Our touch of Him in prayer is TO
be without ceasing." Our hand must
reach out after Him as often as help is re-
quired. Methinks the blessed Jesus stands
ever beside His followers, and says to each
one of them, Reach hither thy finger and
behold my hand; and reach hither thy
hand and thrust it into my side, and be
not faithless, Tut believing. "-Erangeiist.

dress to your columns. have only leisure
to briefly mention the topics considered:
lst The advantages of a collegiate edu-
cation to the man who designs to become
a leader in the knowledge of languages,
natural science, law, medicine, or theology.
I'd. The object of men who endowed the
industrial colleges with nearly ten millions
acres of land was, in the words of Senator
Morrill,, to make institutions acceptable to
all, especially to the sons Of toll, and where
agriculture, the foundation of all present
and future pOsterity may look for troops of
earnest friends studying its familiar and
recondite economies, and at last elevating
it to that higher level where it may fear
lessly invoke comparison with the most ad-
vanced standards of the world, where the
individual could obtain a sound education
at reduced rates, and love of useful labor
promoted, to gain q knowledge of soils, fer
tilizers, grasses, grain, roots, plOughing,
draining, vitality of seeds. breeds of ami
mails, destructive insects" 3D. Has this
| object been accomplished? Yes, in good
degree in Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
/ Iowa, Illinois and California, where large
farm is being worked in part by students
and its processes made familiar by Judi
/ cious teachings, and where farmers sons
are educated and still retain q love for the
farm. As in the words of w. s. Clark
president of the Massachusetts, Agricultural
College, Sept. Dist, 1869, eve have never
experienced any difficulty in awaking 4
lively interest in agriculture both theoret-
ical and practical, in our students. They
will be farmers unless worth more to the
world in some other capacity. They will
learn here that it is an honorable and de-
sirable calling, and are not likely to learn
to esteem unprOductive Incidence more
than profitable labor. A majority of the
one hundred here now intend to return to
the farms from which they came" 4th
Has this object been accomplished in tho
Vermont Agricultural College? No. Oul
president and professors are not practic a
, farmers nor well acquainted with farming
we have no experimental farm the studies
taught are not acceptable to the sons o
toll and have no direct application to ag
riculture; the president has no faith in the
readiness of farmers to receive knowledge
: and the farmers have no faith that the col
lege will ever benefit them as it is now sit
uated. 9Th. What is to be done? On thi
topic there was some discussion after tn
address closed, and separation of tn,
Agricultural College from the Vernon
University was considered advisable.

ton of farmers.

Faiths Touch of Jesus,

That was sweet little sermon which
was conveyed in one sentence from the lips
of the poor woman who crept through the
crowd to touch the hem of our Saviour's
garment She despaired of help from any
other quarter. She gave it up" Her mon
ey was gone; her health was gone; her
hope was gone. All this was needful to
send her to the Divine Healer. So doth
God strip away all vain hopes from many
a sin-sick soul and show them how their
bootless attempts only beggar them and
make them the worse. The guilty prodi-
gal had to 60 down from his dandy raiment
to dirty rags-dOwn from sumptuous tables
to the swine and the swill, before his good
old fathers face could be sought in peni-
tent humility. Faith is often born of de-
spair-as starlight is born in darkness.
There was something in Jesus which
drew that woman. She obeyed this inward
yearning, and pushed straight through the
crowd to get close enough to touch Him
As Jesus attracted that forlorn sufferer who
had almost bled away her life, so has He
attracted every believer who ever came t.
Him. He offered to do for you, fellow
christian, all you wanted He had in him
self, suffciency for you. He seemed t.
you more like the friend you needed THAI
you had found any where else. He drew
you as the sunlight draws out the blossoms
Before you loved him, He loved you, ant
really led you by His spirit up to toucl
Him with the hand of faith.
This Galilean woman only aimed t.
touch the Saviour's garment. SO prodig
ious was her confidence that she believed
that a single contact with this over charge,
reservoir of healing power was enough. 81
/ may but touch His garment / shall b
whole" And that trembling, eager, out
stretched finger was prayer of faith.
was answered on the spot. THE woman
was made whole from that hour"
A single touch of Jesus has made man
a man christian. The first approach t
Him, the first outreach of the soul afte
Him, the first honest prayer for pardon
the first act that was done to please Him
these were the touchings that brought heal
ing to the soul. Conversion takes place il
that moment when soul begins to trus
in Jesus. That is the turning point. Tn
very essence of conversion is the quittin
, of everything else in the world and layin
hold on personal Saviour. Not on sys
tenn of truth, but on the Saviour. Fait

Time is the most subtle yet the most in
satiable of depredators, and by appearing
to take nothing, is permitted to take all ;
nor can it be satisfied until it has stolen the
world from us, and us from the world. 1t
constantly flies, yet overcomes all things
by flight; and although it is the present
ally, it will bethe future conqueror fdeath.
Time-the cradle of hope, but the grave
of ambitions the stern corrector of fools,
but the salutary counselor of the wise,
bringing all they dread to one, and all they
desire to the other but, like Cassandra, ii
warns us with voice that even the sagest
discredit too long, and the silliest believe
too late. Wisdom walks before it, oppor-
tunity with it, and repentance behind it
