A PROBLEM TO SOLVE.

evening walks, and after some
conversation, as they were about
to part, addressed him as fol

~ have heard you are celebra-

you to solve"
"What is it ?" eagerly inquired
the young man.
"The clergyman answered with
a solemn tone of voice, "What

gain the whole world, and lose

The youth returned home, and
endeavored to shake off the i'm
pressions fastened on him by the
problem proposed to him,
but in vain. In the giddy round
of pleasure, in his business and
in his studies, the question still
forcibly returned to him, "What
shall it profit a man, if he shall
gain the whole world and lose his
own soul ?" 1t resulted in his
conversion, and his becoming
an able advocate and preacher of
the Gospel he once rejected.

Mr.. COUGH AND HIS MOTHERS b.
BILE.

In one of his touching address
es, in Exeter Hall, Mr.. Cough
said: sAfter a speech in Boston,
a short time ago, lady came to
me, the daughter of the Rev. DR..
Choules, and said, My father is
dead, but he was always collect
ing curiosities, and he has hap
pened to light on your mothers
Bible in Bristol l had resided
there twenty-five years ago, and
pleased was l to hear the Bible
was found. l had it sent to me
by express-train. There were
the names, Jane Gilbert that
was my mothers name before
marriage, born August 18th, 1776;
John Cough, present from his
mother, on his leaving England
for America John Cough, born
August %, 1917 l held my Bi-
BILE in my hand. l remember
now, l had seen that mother with
her lips white with hunger, and l
recollect how she took her iron
trimmed spectacles from her eyes
to wipe away the tears as she
turned page after page. l saw
her marks-sWhen the poor and
needy seek water and there is
none, and their tongue faileth for
thist, then / the Lord will help
them, l the God of Isreal will not
forsake them;' with hundreds OF
passages like that, marked in
that book. That mothers Bible
brought her history before me.
There remains no token to mark
her last resting-place, no hearse
and mourners followed herto the
grave, she was followed by my
self and sister alone, and without
a prayer she was consigned to
the dust. But she left her chill
dren the legacy OF mothers
prayers, and the Lord God Al
mighty as the executor of her
last will and testament; and
though that poor little body of a
schoolmistress has gone before,
and her spirit has taken its flight
to its eternal home, l stand be-
fore you to night TO declare that

RISE HIGHER.

When birds are flying er,and
the fowler lies in wait for them,
if they fly low, some are wounded,
and some swerving sideways,
plunge into the thicket and hide
themselves But you will find
that Immediately after the first
discharge of the gun, the flock
rise and fly higher. And at the
next discharge they rise again and
fly still higher. And not many
times has the plunging shot thin
ned their number, before they
take so high a level that it is in
vain that the fowler aims at them,
because they are above the
reach of his shot.

INJURIES TO THE HORSES FEET.

The feet are frequently injured
by picking up a nail in travelling,
or by a piece of glass or other
hard substance entering the sole
or frog,and penetrating the sensi-
tive parts. The danger to be ap-
pretended by these injuries will
greatly depend on the situation
of the puncture. If penetrating
deeply and close to the coffin
joint, it is very often attended
with serious results. Acute in
fiammatory action takes place in
the joint and this gives rise to Sc
we're constitutional symptoms.
Whenever the sensitive struct-
ures are injured, the horse shows
'lameness, which gradually in
creases, and matter soon forms,
causing much pain. The horse,
when standing, keeps his heal off
the ground and knuckles over at
the fetlock. If the hoof is pinch
ed hard or struck briskly with a
hammer, he will instantly evince
pain.
These symptoms may be pro-
duced without the substance be-
ing lodged in the sensitive parts,
and they also frequently follow
in cases where the nail or other
offending body has been removed
and the sole not thinned proper
ly; therefore, in all such injuries
it is advisable to remove the shoe,
and thin the sole around the in
jured part. If matter has formed,
it must have free exit, or sinuses
will from, which freqently prove
incurable. Poultices should be
applied until the pain and fever
are completely subdued.
When proud flesh sprouts up,
mild caustics should be applied,
as the chloride of antimony. In
cases where the sole becomes
undermined or detached, the
knife must be freely used. The
after treatment consists in shoe
ing properly, and, using leather
sole, with stufing, to protect the
injured and weakened parts

sUccULENT FOOD FOR CATTLE.

After grass begins to fail, Sue
culent food of some kind should
be provided for cattle, especially
for cows giving milk. Pumpkins
are usually given early in the
winter, or before hard freezing
weather. The seeds should be
removed, as they tend to dry up
the flow of milk. After pump
kins are gone, turnips should be
freely-say, one-half bushel per
day each head. Sugar-beets
and mangold-wurzel may then
be economically fed, say, after
the first of January until March.
If fed in the fall, or before they
are sweated aud seasoned, they
contain an acrid principle that is
hurtful to cattle. All farm stock
are fond of them, both top and
root. Hogs eat them greedily.
Sows may be literally fed on
them two or three weeks before
dropping their young. 1t will
prevent them killing them at
birth, as they will sometimes do,
if fed wholly on dry and binding
food. After March, or when the
beets are exhausted Swedish tur-
nips may take their place until
grass comes again. Salt should
be literally given with all green
food. In Europe, it is usual to
lay in a supply of green clover,
beet-tops, beet pulp, or brewers
grains in the fall for winter use.
1t is placed in watts or pits cxcav-
ated upon a dry soil to the depth
of six to eight feet or more. The
food is shoveled in and rammed
hard to exclude the air, and COW
cred to shed water. After a time
it turns sour, and stock become
extremely fond of it. Brewers
grains may be kept in this way,
in suitable tanks, ten to twelve
feet square, for year or longer.
In the absence of succulent veg
etable food, worm bran mashes
may be given daily, or thin slop
of mush may be made from finely |
ground corn meal. Cows seldom
drink water enough to produce
the greatest flow of milk posi-
BILE. Therefore any means which
will induce them to take a great
er quantity thar usual, will in
crease the flow of milk.

FINGER MARK.

A gentleman employed a ma
son to do some work for him, and,
among other things, to "thin-
whiten" the walls of one of his
chambers. This thin-whitening
is almost colorless until dried.
The gentleman was much sur
prised, on the morning after the
chamber was finished, to find on
the drawer of his bureau, stand
ing in the room, white finger
Opening the drawer, he
found the same on the articles in
it,and also on a pocket-book. An
examination revealed the same
marks on the contents of a bag.
This proved clearly that the ma
son, with his wet hands, had op-
ened the drawer and searched the
the bag, which contained no mon
ey, and had then closed the draw
er without once thinking that
any one would ever know it.
The ''thin-whitening, which hap
pened to be on his hands, did not
show at first, ,and he probably had
no idea that twelve hours drying
would reveal his .wickedness.
Children, beware, beware of evil
thoughts and deeds They all
leave their .fnger-marks, which
will one day be revealed. III
you disobey your parents, or tell
a falsehood, or take what is not
your own, you make sad stains

These marks may be almost, ifI

A DINNER AND A KISS

"Ihave brought your dinner. father" !"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arm the kettle,
And lifted its shining lid.
"There is not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this"
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left the childish kiss.
The blacksmith took of his apron,
And dined in a happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were visions
Full oil pathetic bliss;
But he never thought OF magic
In his little daughters kiss
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight OF squirrel,
Catching some wild b:rd's lay,
And ! thought how many shadow
Of life and fate we would miss,
If always our frugal dinners
We're seasoned with kiss.

Ladies' Boots.
+ S = A L.

Has just received a new inven-
ton, in the way of an improve
ment in Ladies' Boots. The boot is
made high in the leg, with elastic
sides. The improvement consists
in arranging the elastic and lin
ing, that the elastic will clasp the
ankle; and the lining, while pro-
tecting the elastic from the sweat
OF the foot, will also yield to its
contraction and expansion. Its
great beauty is this: that it is
easy to put on, fits snugly when
on, and protects the foot and limb
from cold. 1t will certainly be a
favorite with the ladies. Samples
can be seen at his shop.
