A CHRISTIANS COMFORT.


The best ground Of comfort
and confidence which man can
feel, that he is Gods son and abid-
ing in His favor, is that he is "led
by the Spirit of God" Nor is
it difficult for any one to discover
whether this be the case, or no;
since "the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, long suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance" If, there
fore, a man find these graces in
his own heart and conduct, he
may be sure that they must be
planted there by God; the fruits
Of his good Spirit; and that he,
being led by the Spirit, is the son
of God. And as this is their
support and comfort, so it is a
caution to the best and wisest,
that from that blessed eminence
they may at any moment fall
and consequently no care can be
too great to preserve themselves
from the sin of grieting the Holy
Spirit Of God, by whose presence
in their hearts they are sealed to
the day of redemption. Be dill
gent, therefore, in using these
outward means of grace, whereby
God sanctiies His children from
the world be studious to walk
where the. Spirit leads, lest that
blessed Spirit be withdrawn !;
and be lowly and humble before
the Most High, since it is to such
only that an increase or continu-
ance of the Divine favor is prom
ised.-Bishop Heber.

HARDEN THE NECKS OF YOUR
TEAMS.

Some horses have tender skin,
and the harness will sometimes
gall them cruelty, in defiance OF
all means to prevent it. But,
many times, the true cause is at
tributable to a bad collar, bad
harness, OF to a good harness i'm
properly fitted to the animal. A
yoke of bows that do not fit the
oxen well will often gall them,
and unfit them for labor, when if
these things were as they ought
to be, they would work with far
more ease, and their skin would
not be CALLED. la
When a harness or yoke Of
bows do not it properly, and
their skin is liable TO be CALLED,
battle those parts before they are
CALLED with cold water until the
outside skin appears quite soft,
and then bathe those parts with a
strong decotion of white oak
bark. Let this be done every
day, and the skin will become
much harder and tougher than it
usually is. A little care in pre-
venting an i'll, is far better than
much labor and skill in curing it,
or in endeavoring to obviate its
injurious Effects Working Far

provided to supply his wants, to
the gratuitous and brutal cruelty
of starving and torturing them to
death by inches. 1t is purely
gratuitous cruelty: Every one
has a right to kill his domestic
animals when necessary, and the
mode should be prompt and in
stantaneous. Every flock master
who has more sheep than he can
keep properly or sell, should kill
the surplus when winter sets in,
if he gets nothing from them but
the pelts. Death comes to them
as a friend, saving them and Others
from protracted suffering, and
not increasing the aggre gate
mortality. The remainder escape
suffering and make better returns
to the owner than would the
whole flock under the starving
treatment.-RGnd0U, an Rurdl
Ner Yorker.

WHERE HELL Is.

Il wish to ask you a question:
said Mr.. Sharp to our young min
lister as he met him in the street,
Il am anxious to know where hell
is. The Bible have read, ge-
ographies, histories, and other
books, and | can't find out where
it is exactly"
The young minister placing
his hand on his shoulder, and
looking earnestly into his eyes,
replied encouagingly, "My dear
sir, don't be discouraged; | am
sure you will find out after awhile.
As for myself, / have made no in
quiries, and really don't wish to
know where hell is.' About
heaven l have thought and read,
and studied a great deal. l wish
to make that my home, and by
the help of the Lord l will. Ask
me about heaven and l can talk
Il don't know where hell is,and
you had better not find out"

Shall the Surplus Sheep be Starved OF
Petted.

Winter is near at hand and
every owner of a flock of sheep
should make his arrangements for
it. In most Of the Northern
States an exaggerated feeling of
discouragement still pervades the
growers of fine wool. Many of
them wintered their flocks poorly
last winter, on the ground that
they could not afford to feed them
well-and probably will do the
same this winter. This in our
opinion is cruel and suicidal
policy. Less returns are thus OBJ
tanned from a given amount of
food.
Thirty half starved sheep will
produce less good merchantable
wool than twenty properly kept
ones; will lose twice or three
times as many by death; and
will not raise half as many lambs.
And what farmer possessing
spark Of humanity is willing to
see these poor denfeseless animals
which afford one of the great
est and most indispensable neces-
saries of human life driven to
exc out scanty supply of hay
or straw by digging through the
snow for,or cropping from the icy
and storm sweptfields:grass which
has been rendered almost wholly
innutritious by freezing-the
sheep every day growing thinner
and weaker, many of the inlamb-
ed ewes incapable of rising with
their burthen, and dying in par
turition.. A more painful specta-
Gle of brute suffe' ing than a flock
in such condition near the close
of winter, cannot be witnessed.
And we believe that morality |
has voice in this matter as well |
as humanity. We believe that
no man has a moral right to sub
ject the useful domestic animals.

BE KIND.

There's misery that we know not Of
In this bright world Of ours,
And many an aching head there is
Beneath a wreath of flowers.
How oft the surface of the sea
shines calmly in the light.
While wreck of storms that lie beneath
Are hidden from our sight.
Oh. let Us. then be kind to all.
For we can seldom tell
by that which on the face appears
What in the heart doth dwell.
Be kind to all; on kindness hangs
Our hopes of future bliss,
And, while we trust His kindly love.
Our friends, remember this:
There's misery that we know not OF
In this bright world of ours.
And many an aching head there i
Beneath wreath of flowers.

CHRISTIAN SONG.

Many think song is a luxury
which they have a right to deny
themselves if they please. Few
have thought it a duty that they
should be instructed in Christian
song themselves, and should
teach it to their families and
yet the command to sing is as ex-
plicit as the command to pray,
and we do not think of neglect
ing to teach our household to
pray. You will bear witness, the
greatest trouble of Christian ex-
perience is what we may call the
liquefaction of thought into emo
ton. The Greek method of cul-
ture was philosophical, and we
have followed largely in the same
direction. This is an important
element in the education of the
people, but we find it difficult to
express the wine of emotion from
the cluster of thought.
The wings God has given us to
fly up to Him are the wings of
song. The lyrical element is the
best expression of feeling. All
forms of experience have been
touched in the poetry of chant
and song. Why should we neg
lect these gatherings of express
sione Why should you try by
thought to get to God, when you
can sing your way to Him with
half the effort ! There is a rail
road up Mount Washington. A
man who sings through life is like
the man who ascends the noun
tain in the car the man who
does not sing is like the traveller
who pants on foot up the steep as
cent. Many say first reason, emo
ton last. But in the hymn, the
same truth may touch all hearts
AS well Lord Bacon as the poor
slave on the plantation. Singing
is the process by which intellec
tual propositions can be convert
ed into emotion and heart express
sion.
DR.. Stowe said, when he visit
ed a certain institution in Ger
many, "In one room where boys
with violins playing,anoth room
was full Of boys singing. The
teacher said, IF the childred don't
sing, the devil is in here but
when they do, he has to 90 and
sit out there" Evil can not
dwell in a spirit of sacred song
and so, to bring this to close,
"Speak to yourselves in psalms |
and hymns, singing and making
to the Lord in your heart"
.Rer. II. ". Beecher.

F S E A L,

Has just received 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.

ANOTHER ECLIPSE BY notice elsewhere
it will be seen tina. the city is to be shroud
ed in darkness on and after Monday next,
by the closing of the gas works, all on
account of the city council attempting to
regulate the price of gas at a lower figure
than Mr.. Harper thinks consistent with his
interest. Will our aldermen permit this
inconvenience to the city and the large
number of gas consumers? We would
suggest public meeting of those interest
ed, and that they tell their representatives
how much they are willing to pay for gas,
or go without it. Mr.. Harper has at least
acted fairly in giving due notice, so that all
can invest from FIVE to ten or more dollars
in lamps, kerosene, candies, etc. Let US
gather pine knots. and by their light discuss
the relative merits, prices included, of gas.
Now. Young folks, is the time for counting
But, joking aside-isnt this 9uarrelling
about prices useless. Don't the council
stand in their own or the peoples light?
