Not as the World Giveth.

MY peace l give unto you" was the
benediction of the Master as he told the
faithful few of his departure to his Fathers
many mansioned home. mot as the world
giveth, give unto you," said he, for the
gift of the world is WEAKNESS and tears, in
place of peace and hope, which are the
gift Of God alone. How often in the strife
of life, when failure meets us, or when
trouble greater than seems our strength to
bear comes to us, does the weary pilgrim
look up with face white through suffer
ing and eyes dimmed with tears and tremb-
lingly yet earnestly thank the Master that
his gifts, unlike the worlds, are peace and
rest. Happy is he who can with his bur
dens and WEAKNESS come to him who tax
eth the burden and its bearer, and in him
find peace beyond expression. One who
has known the unequaled peace of Christ
the Lord, can but have pity for those who,
like them, have work to do, burdens to
carry, tears and grief, to whom failure
comes, and yet who know nothing of that
parting gift of Christ-the peace of God.
Saddest man of all the world should be he
who has no Christ, no Savior, no refuge in
distress, no shelter from the storm. o that
the world might know the peace which is
the christians gift from heaven.-Zion's
Herald.

Sons of Zion.

Sons of Zion What title of honor!
How poetical and Significant Yet, under
the proud oppressor's hand, how are the
mighty fallen! The purity of hearts and
the sanctity of souls are nothing in the
eyes of wicked rulers. Although estimat
ed by the inspired penman as fine gold,
good men are accounted by the world as
earthen pitchers. Men of truth, justice,
benevolence-men of holy principles and
noble purposes, are genuinely valuable.
They have intrinsic worth. They are the
salt of the earth-the light of the world.
They are really great and rich, although
apparently weak and poor. They are COW
enanted in sacred brotherhood; they are
heirs of Immortality. Angels are their
servants. Jesus Christ is their Redeemer
Heaven is their home. For them the uni
verse revolves its shining suns. All things
are theirs. Believers of every name and
nation are the precious sons of Zion, COM

been at discount in the marts of the world.
Wealth mixes its aims with curses, and

The RELIGION Of labor.

Religion does not altogether consist of
devotional exercises, but, as well, of daily
work. We get wrong idea of christiani-
ty when we reduce it all to songs and ser
mons, to prayers, solemn faces, and eccle-
siastical paraphernalia. 1t is not especially
for Sabbaths and sanctuaries, but also for
week days, for shops, for homes, for mills,
for stores, for streets and fields. Religion
is largely an out door institution Its Au-
thor was born, baptized TRANSPORTED, and
crucifed under no roof but the sky. 1t
means diligence in business, serving the
Lord in common vocatiOns and every day
relations, as well as in consecrated sylla-
bles on set occasions. Jesus was more sub
timely great standing unknown at the car
penter's bench in Nazareth, with apron on,
than if he had been surpliced as priest in
the temple, or arrayed in robes of royalty
on Pilates throne. He was greater with
an adze in his hand than with crown on
his head. Christianity allows no aversion
toward the mechanic. 1t gives him honor
able position. 1t invites him to its home,
and visits him in his. Yet how many rich
young ladies who would scorn to associate
with the sons and daughters of our work
ingmenl The matrimonial problems that
busy their brains involve such fractions as
lawyers, physicians, large salaried preach
ers, wholesale merchants, millionaires, and
gentlemen of leisure. 1t would be ridicu,
lJus, they think, to throw themselves away
on mechanics OF course, society has it
afinities, and that is we'll. Education
grants it. Refinement and culture Away,
seek their level. But we dig down fo
gold. Too often dissipated dandyism i
petted and honered, while intelligent in
dustry is denied a place. The difference
between building houses and selling house
is not so great that one should be consider

Sipleayes a Mark,

In the Connecticut Historical Rooms at
Hartford is the shirt and vest worn by Col
onel Ledyard when he was so wantonly
slain by British officer.
He had gallently defended Fort Girls
void at New London, and when obliged to
surrender his sword, the officer who took
it plunged it into the brave Ledyard's bos-
ON. The vest and shirt show today the
cut which the sword blade left. There
they lie before you, the cuts gaping open !;
which strongly impresses you with the fact
that beyond them was a similar cut in the
flesh, which caused the death of noble
man. The victim is crumbled to dust; he
who so cruelty inflicted that wound, is also
dead. He may have sought forgiveness of
God for that deed and have died pardon
ed man; he may be today in glory with
Jesus; we know not; but the mark of his
sin is left.
Sin leaves its mark behind although
we are forgiven and saved, it remains a
fact that we sinned, and the mark remains.
| The shirt and vest are still q silent witness
| of that mans wicked act.
1t is glorious to be saved after many sins;
| but how much better to be saved and leave
no marks of our wickedness behind us.
Oh ye young, be saved in your strength
de not wait till you are wrecks yourselves,
and till you have left a terrible mark where
you were wrecked; you may die at peace
with God and abide in peace with him
but the mark shall remain to witness
against your folly.-Montrose, in COngre-

Sawdust for BEDDING,

Inquiries are often made in regard to
sawdust as bedding and as a manure. We
can say from experience that it makes the
cleanest, soltest and most easily handled
bedding for a horse, of anything we have
ever used for that purpose, or any article
with which we are acquainted 1t is good
absorbent of moisture, and readily takes
up the urine and holds it for time, but we
DO not think it viii hold it as permanently
as muck.
Undoubtedly dried muck is the mostval-
liable for a bedding to hold and retain the
liquids, but it is very dirty, and not suita-
BILE for such use. Then again there is a
difference in the value of the different kinds
Of sawdust. For example, while hard pine
sawdust from the chipyard is pure and
sweet, even fragrant, and readily takes up
the urine. il Is not 50 valuable or good for
the soil a, hard wood dust or even our ma
tive soft wood dust from spruce, hemlock,
&c. The reason is, because the pine is full
of resin, which Is almost water and rot
/ proof. 1t will last quite time and not de-
cay, whereas the hard wood readily and
rapidly decays, thus furnishing a small
amount of manure to the soil.
OF course it is not expected that the ma
nurial value of sawdust is very great, nor
is that quality much taken into considera-
ton. Upon light soil it does not produce
a good effect, because its action is to make
it lighter. In fact. the action of sawdust
upon soil is more mechanical than manure,
as we generally understand the term
Hence, sawdust applied to heavy, clayey
soil produces beneficial effects, and the
more it is soaked with urine the better.
Some farmers are so situated that they
can readily obtain sawdust from neighbor.

manurial value can be obtained. With per.

officers of high degree are also profane
swearers. Our system of oath taking ought
to be materially modified. Oaths are made
so common, by law, that they lose their
force and solemnity, becoming formal, and
being taken lightly. In many cases, where
they are now required, they ought to be
dispersed with. And the fippant, indeco-
rus style in which they are frequently ad-
ministered should give place to reverent
manner, BETTING the nature of the oath.
If it is profane to use lightly anything
whereby God makes himself known, there
is much profanity, especially among minis
tiers and other good people, who quote
Holy Scripture for the sake of joke
Those most familiar with the Bible are
most tempted to this indulgence. But it is
bad always. 1t lowers reverence for the
sacred oracles. 1t makes unfortunate as
sociations with texts of scripture, so that
we can never hear them read without think
ing of the play made upon them. l have
known some good men who're to smile
at a witticism perpetrated at the expense
of quotation from the Bible. Thus they
testify their condemnation of the practice.

fifty examples, but in so doing l should

Dwell on Calvary.

My camping-ground, each eve shall be,
Meath Calvary's breeze swept mountain,
Its ruddy fruits my meat to be,
My drink, its healing fountain;
The blood-drops long since scattered there
BY Herod's cruel malice,
Nurture for aye the spreading vine,
Supplies my only ehalice.
Yes, nightly upon Calvary's side
My white tent shall be cleaning;
The one-star, shining through its clouds
Shall hallow all my dreaming;
My souls athirst to hear that word
Repeating there forever
That pledged the thief a speedy bliss.
A paradise forever.
Terrors and tolls of busy life,
My night abode excludeth,
Weapon nor wound of carnal foe
In this blessed shade intrudeth;
The horde, abashed, still backward fall,
Like soldiers in the garden,
When Jesus utters 81 am He:''
I'm safe with Christ my warden.
At dawn, awaked by sweet perfume
From blOod-fed flowers distilling,
My soul thrills to the praiseful song,
The universe is filling;
Prayerful I'll fold away my tent,
To wait the dusk's returning,
While night-song- in my heart
The fires Of love keep burning. X. X

Our Savior never drove his overtired fac
ulties. When tired, che sat by the well. :"
He used to go and rest in the house of
Mary and Martha, after the fatigues of
working in Jerusalem. He tells us all,
you and me, to let the morrow take care
of itself. and merely to meet the evils of
the present day. Real foresight consists
in reserying our own forces. If we labor
with anxiety about the future, we destroy
that strength which will enable us to meet
the future. If we take more in now than
we can do well, we break up, and the work
is broken up with us.

and the product by the depth, which will
give the cubic feet of the bulk of the corn

quotient will be the number of barrels OF
