The City of God,

Beyond the limits of our mortal vision,
Weak human sight,
Arise the splendor> of the land Elsan,
Beaming in light.
It's gates of pearl are even now unloading
Where angels stand;
The eye of faith is dazzled in beholding
That blessed land.
Its walls ofjasper and its trees of healing
Shade waters clear,
While songs of praise, in joyous echoes stealing,
Entrance to the ear.
They have no need of sun or moonbeam shining /;
No night is there;
They who for heavenly gales were vainly pining,
Palm bran ches bear.
From golden censers, incense sweet ascending
Is borne on wings,
While round about the throne, the rainbow
bending,
New promise brings.
But ere we reach the blessed land immortal
Ou- feet must stray
Through devious paths, and deaths dark, chill.

A fearful way.
Our bark must toss upon the raging pillows,
The storm-winds high;
Our steps must linger meath the shade of willows
Where treasures lie.
Ger mountain tops, with fainting hearts, and
weary,
We yet must climb;
Then in the valleys, desolate and dreary,
Abide our time.
We know not where or how the way Is turning
Through forests drear,
Or on the desert plains, where sands are burning
Barren and sere.

The blaze of day.

For guidance still.

"But not the path
We may be led to brave, in call of duty,
The lightning's seath;
Tried in the furnace, whose hot fires are glowing
While foes assail

Till spirits quail.
Yet far beyond this maze of endless winding,
Where now we roam,
In blaze ofglory that is well nigh binding,
We see our home.

LECTURE ". COWS FOR THE DAIRY.
What is the best breed of cows and how
can it be obtained? Some say Short Horn,
some Ayrshire, some Alderny, some Devon
and some Dutch or Holstein. 1t is well to
consider LIST, What breed is best adapted
to the climate, soil, &C., where kept. I'd,
What breed is best adapted to the partieu-
lar purpose required. Short Horns require
liberal feed and that it be easy of access.
For cheese dairying the Attorneys or Jer-
seys are not recommended but for butter
dairying they are good. Cattle have been
domesticated for ages. Several wild spe-
cies have contributed to make our stock
what it is. The surest method to get good
stock is to breed where the stock is to be
| used, and from stock that can transmit its
good qualities. The Short Horn, Ayrshire,
Attorney or Jersey, Devon and Dutch or
Holstein, are all desirable breeds. Other
breeds such as the Galloway, Kerry, Her
eford, Breton, Swiss and other European
varieties have not so good reputation for

however was agreed upon and that was
the employment of weakened males witt

A writer who says his COW gives all the
milk that is wanted in family of eight
persons, and from which was made 260 lbs.
of butter in the year, gives the following
as his treatment. He says: eff you desire
to get large yield of milk, give your COW,
three times a day, water slightly warm,
slightly sailed, in which bran has been
stirred. at the rate of one quart to two gal
Ions of water. You viii find, if you have
not found this by daily practice, that your
COW will gain % per cent. Immediately I'M
der the effect of it, and she will become SO
attached to the diet as to refuse to drink
clear water unless very thirsty but this
mess she will drink almost any time, and
ask for more. The amount of this drink
is an ordinary water pail full each time

The Capstone Put On.

The edihce of Romanism is finished
As a system il needed the declaration of
the infallibility of the Pope to complete
both theory and practice. Nottill this as
founding assumption was deliberately ac-
cepted and proclaimed, was there logical
consistency in the Papacy. He who claims
to be, in Christ's stead, as his vicegerent,
the Head Of the Church, must claim also
TO be infallible. He needs to be to fill his
Office. Those who do not hesitate to ac-
cept the one, should not draw back from
the other. Here the dssentients in the
Council were from the first at a disadvan-
tage, and the Jesuits pressed their point
with an assurance of victory. They knew
that the logic Of the system, and the his
toric drift and actual tendency of their
church thought and action were on their
side. This accounts for their assurance
and for their final success. A resistance
was hopeless from the first. OF course
the opponents of the Papacy feel that il

Error must thus be allowed to ripen it

must become organic and assume their lie

The Cows are Cominu,

The cows are coming, Jessie dear, make haste and
see the sight;
There are twenty milky beauties to be housed and
fed tonight.
The first one with the snow-white horns is just as
old May:
She and my pet first saw the light the same soft sum
mer day
tender creature she, so weak and cold and thin
John said she was not mt to raise said it was sin
To cast her of for Maybuds sake. John laughed
and asked whether
thought it best upon the whole, to rear tco calves
together.
But she was spared. and 50 was May. 1t sometimes
seems to me.
In starbrights soft and gentle eyes, Mays pleading
glance see.
I love the creature-you may smile-perhaps my
fancies mock:
She's arest of the herd as Mays the sweetest of the
flock.
There's May, her arms round Starbright's neck; the
girl is nine to-day,
a froIicsome and genial thing at study at play;
The darling Of our falling years. spring in autumn
set.
4 fair white Jewel blazing in our faded coronet
But see, John lets the bars dows in clover deep they
stand,
With glossy flanks and backs as straight as yonde
table land
The fragrance of their breath pours in like ambergri
and myrrh;
| They're just the neatest cows to mik-John say
they never stir.
/ They know his tone-'tis seldom Loud they know hi
/ touch-'tis kind
John has a way the neighbors say to make dunn
creatures mind:
Perhaps-I only know that l. through all these blesse
years,
Have never seen the moment when his voice ha
brought me tears
The are going Jessie dear; the good man shake
the hay;
They're eating supper-so must We, John, you an

Wine Shop.

The wine shops are the colleges and
chapels of the poor in France. History,
morals, politics, jurisprudence and litera-
ture, in iniquitious forms, are all taught
in these colleges and chapels, where pro-

lessons, and hymns are sung nightly to the
demons of decentralization. In these haunts
of the poor, theft is Taught as the morality
of Property, falsehood as speech, and as

When you receive a boquet, sprinkle it

If we dreamed every night the same
thing, it would affect us as much as the
objects that we see every day and if an
artisan were sure of dreaming every night,
during twelve hours, that he is king, l
believe he would be almost as happy as a
king who should dream every night, dur
ing twelve hours, that he is an artisan. II
we dreamed every night that we were pur-
sued by enemies, and agitated by these
painful fancies, and were our days passed
in different occupations, as on a journey
we should suffer almost as much as if this
were true, and we should apprehend sleep
as we apprehend waking when we fear tc
enter upon such misfortunes in reality
And, in fact, it would produce nearly the
same ills as the reality. But, inasmuch a,
dreams are different, and the same dream
is varied, what we see in them affects u.
less than what we see waking, on accoun
of the continuity, which, nevertheless, il
not SO continuous and equal that it doe
not also change, but less abruptly, excep
rarely, as when we are journeying, ant
then one says, 1t seems to me that | an
dreaming, for life is somewhat less incon
slant dream.-PascaE.

The American Button Hole Overcoming and
Sewing Machine Company, Philadelphia, have

SIMPLER THAN ANY SINGLE THREADEA
Anybody can run it. The feed can be raised
or lowered for light or heavy work.
No more bother with the old style shuttle
with its crude incouvenient and difficult tension
| adjustment, produced by threading through q
row of holes, attended with vexing uncertainty,
| great expense of time, and breaking thread.
The Improved Shuttle admits of being instant
| ly adjusted by the inexperienced with any de-
| gree of tension required for sewing anything
| from LEATHER TO ONE THICKNESS OF
| TISSUE PAPER, (see samples) These Ma
| chimes make the Lock Stitch alike on both sides
of the work, are large, strong and roOmy, and are
supplied with extra cloth plate and leather nee
dies, for sewing leather, If desired.
| Their superior workmanship, style of finish,
durability, speed, and power, running stiller and
easier than other shuttle machines, attract the
attention and elicit the admiration OF machinists
| and mechanics every where. This, and the fact
that it is almost impossible to make them break
the thread or miss a stitch commends them 70
