houses, those efficient manufactures Of
paupers and convicts. In that case it must
be admitted that the prosperity Of the
church would injure his possessions.
But every branch of useful industry is
promoted by the influence ever emanating
from the church of Christian influence
which difuses through the community in
telligence, morals and refinement. Intern
perate, degraded, heathenish families can
Guild no tasteful houses, can purchase no
lands. They have no money to buy of the
dry goods merchant the fabrics which
high civilization has produced, or of the
grocer the food which is spread upon the
table of competence. They can hire no
horses for the pleasant evening drive
They can indulge in no luxury of china or
of home ornaments. They can give no
employment to others, and can scarcely
buy tools to work with themselves
Religion is prosperity. Its absence tends
only to ruin. Ought not, then, regard
for the temporal interests Of mankind, even
if no higher motive influence the mind, to
lead every humane man to do what he can
to sustain the preaching of the gospel?

Unknown to Usefulness.

We are not to mourn and count life
time lost when its great purposes of useful
ness are frustrated. The servants of Prov
idence are employed for ends they do not
understand, and accomplish results which
they cannot value. We should count no
faithful christian unsuccessful until the
great day when we see the work complete,
and hear the Masters award.
Vital christian life is always productive,
though the fruit is not always according to
human expectations. The potato vine
looked upon the tomato in June, and said,

came and promised fair. The ambitious

We should be chary of keeping ripe fruit
in our sitting rooms, and especially beware
of laying it about a sick chamber for any
length of time. That complaint which
some people make about faint sensation
in the presence of fruit is not fanciful they
may be really affected by it. For two con-
tinental chemists have shown that, from
the moment of plucking, apples, cherries,
currants and other fruits are subject to in
cessant transformation. At first they alb
sorb oxygen, thus robbing the surrounding
air of its vital element; then they envelope
carbonic acid, and this in far greater vol
ume than the purer gas is absorbed, so that
we have poison given us in the place of
pure air, with compound interest. Tenn
perature affects the rate of change, warmth
accelerating it.-G0Od ReaHh.

Mr.. R. II. Eddy has made for me THIR-
TEEN applications, in all but ONE of which
patents have been granted, and that one is now

Advice about Hogs.

A writer in Chester County, Penn
syIvania, the original home of the
Chester white hogs, sends the follow
ing sensible hints to the Planter and
Farmer:
No animal deteriorates faster than
swine. The trough is a great element
in the character Ofa hOg-he is amaz-
ingly like a dandy. To keep him in
first-rate trim he soon eats his head
off; yet, if he has to hunt his food,
even with the slightest effort, he soon
becomes too enterprising to be a fine
specimen. AS soon as a pig becomes
enterprising, he ceases to be a Chester
County white. Dame Nature soon
fits him to his new order of things
his nose lengthens, the disposition to
use it also increases, his legs grow
longer, his sides fatten, his hams
lose their plumpness, and in one or
two generations he is a match in a
race for any ordinary dog. At least
this is our experience.
If you want to keep up the breed
of good hogs, keep no more than you
can keep SO lazy they will not grunt.

Paperfng Rooms.

Many lives have been lost from the
laziness or ignorance of paper hangers,
who have laid on one paper above an
other, instead Of tearing off the old one
before hanging the new. There was a
very handsome house near one of our
provincial towns, which could never
keep IFS tenants, and at last stood
empty and became worthless, because
a detestable fever seized upon every
family that lived in it. A ready-Wit-
ted observer promised the owner to
find out the cause. He traced the mis-
chief to one room, and presently con-
jpctured what was the matter there.
He let slip of glass into the wall, and
found it next day dimmed with a
fatid condensed vapOr. He tore down
a strip of paper, and found abundant
cause for any amount of fever. For
generations the walls had been papered
afresh, without the removal Of any
thing underneath. And there was the
putrid size of old paper, inches deep
A thorough clearance, and scraping,
and cleaning, put an end to the fever,
and restored tine value of the house.

Out Door WOrk-Yards and
Flowers.

The season Is already here, for outdoor
work. The roses and shrubs which have
been encased in straw or carpets, or cover
ing Of warmth, must be removed, that they
may have an opportunity to fesuscitate
their growth; the old leaves and mdlChing
must be raked or spaded under vines
must be trimmed, yards raked, plants
transplanted, flower seed sown, and hun
dred little matters pertaining to such
work, looked after. A great many plans
Of walks, beds, mounds, trellises, etc, are
70 be completed the choicest seeds to be
selected, and a general overhauling and
recOnstructiug of last springs labor to be
gone through with. A few suggestions in
connection herewith may not be amiss,
Too many flowers In door yard, are in
worse taste than none at all. Roses, Yer
benas, ETC., are prettiest here, while tulips,
and flowers Of that nature, look better as
bordering in the garden. A cleanly kept
sOd, with here and there an evergreen or
shade tree, is more beautiful than yard
filed with shrubs, bushes and flowers, un-
til the green carpet beneath is almost shut
out from view. A handsome vase, with a
trailing vine and a verbena, in the centre
Of a green plat, has q more pleasing effect,
or a rustic basket or pot covered with moss
and containing q few violets, suspended
from q trellis or beneath the boughs of an
open branched tree, is beautiful. Give
your plants and flowers plenty Of sunlight
and air, and don't crowd them. especially
ifthey be choice ones, as no flower can be
brought to perfection in a cramped or i'll
ventilated position. A bouquet Of rich or
rare flowers, on the centre-table every day,
IS a luxury for the home of the humble as
we'll as the rich, and little judiciOus out
doOr-work in the spring will ensure it for
the warm and sultry days Of summer,
when their perfumes and rich colors are a
grateful offering to the senses,

Farm Fences.


We reprint from the Ohio Farmer
the following excellent practical sug
gestions on the subject of Farm
Fences:
April is really the best month Of the
year for attending to the repairs and
changes Of farm fences. Later than
this month other work so presses upon
the husbandman that insufficient time
can be found to do the work as il
should be done. If there is any one
thing connected with farm labOrs that
is more neglected than another it is
this matter of fencing. Poor fences
always beget unruly animals, which
result in damaged crops, and general
loss. In the spring, after the fence
has been racked by the upheavings of
the winter frOsts and high winds of
March, they need attention to make
them proper projections to grain fields
during the summer. Poor fences are
perpetual annOyances the farmer
never feels at ease, and yet, many en-
dure this with the plea that they have
not rail timber upon their premises to
put fences in good condition. We
know that many farmers are short Of
wood land, but we do believe that
good fences may be kept up and with
an absolute profit at the same time.
The judiciOus planning and laying
out of fields will be found a source Of
great saving. Often fully double the
number of rods Of fence are supported
that are absolutely required. Some
times two or three fields are kept for
moving when by arrangement Of
fences, all might be converted into
one meadow, and so with fields used
for grazing and blowing. Another
great saving may be made by frequent
laying over of fences, and putting un-
der new blocks. A re-laid fence with
new ground pieces, six rails high, is
fully equal to one containing eight
rails, which has stood eight years
without repairs.
We are not inclined to favor the idea
of building a fence of entire new
rails on an old farm, for the reason
that the bottom rail Of any fence will
not last more than One-third as long
as those above it; and therefore, we
like the plan Of re laying a certain pOr-
ton of the farm fences every spring,
putting in new rails at the bottom
In this way good oak or chestnut rails
will be made to last nearly, if not
quite, half a century. At the present
time board fences are cheaper in most
parts of the country than rail, and
they certainly give a homestead a
better appearance but, for division
field fences they are not exactly what
is needed, for changes are often desired
which cannot be made handily with
post and board fence. For road, line,
orchard, and door yard-fences they
are in place. For permanent fencing,
the hedge, however, must eventually
come into general use unless people
use more care about the preservation
