The cry Cor rest is often louder than
the cry for fool; not that it is more i'm
portant, but it is often harder to get. The
best comes from sound sleep. Of the
men or women otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the best will be the most NOR
al, healthy and efficient. Sleep will do
much to cure i,ritabihty of temper. peev-
ishness, uneasiness and insanity. 1t will
restore to vgor an overworked brain. and
build up and strengthen weary body.
1t will cure the headache, hypochondria,
the blues. and long list of nervous NAL
aides. But the cure OF sIeeplessness itself
is not go easy. 1t is often produced by
hard study, long continued watchfulness,
too little exercise, tea aud whisky>drink
ing, and tobacco using. To break up
the habit are required: First, gooi
clean ted. Second, sufficient exercise
Third, good air. and not too warm a
room. Fourth, freedom from too much
care. Fifth, clean stomach. Sixth. n
clear conscience. Seventh, avoidance o.
stimulants aud narcotics.

ir mind that the religion Of genius is no,

intellectual sympathy, and that religion
of the heart, which alone is accepted
with God THIS dissiction is thu more

TO have fine thoughts. or be able to write
or speak fine words, about religion, is 10
he religious. Many arc true Christians
who have no such brilliant gifts of utter

unable to appreciate the beautiful or the
sublime side Of Christianity. The 81

Goodness, TO be such as that while essen

The Ey. OF . Needle.

The passage from the New Testament
III is easier for camel, etc., has per
picked many good men who have read
il literally. In oriental cities there IN
the large gates small and very low APP
erlures, called metapborically need 'es
eyes, just ms wet talk of windowson ship
board as bulls eyes," These entrances
ne too narrow for acamel to pass through
them in the ordinary manner, or even il
loaded. When loaded camel has to
pass throngh ons of these entrances, it
kneels down, its load is removed, and
then it shuffics through on its knees
Yesterday writes Lady Duff Gordon
from Cairo, I saw camel 60 through

kneel aud bow his head to creep through !:
and thus the rich man must humble him

Vermont, in times past, was applied to

iron fence around the cemetery in that

does not need any fence, as those inside

Feed Your Cow.

A correspondent Of the Maine Farmer
says that two cows, well fed, will give
more milk than four ill kept. We be-
lieve this statement, and also agree
with the writer " that farmers should
not keep more cows, or other stock of
any kind, than they can keep well, both
as to food and shelter. 1t should be as
much the business of the farmer to
grow a full supply of winter provender
for his stock, as it is to furnish them
with summer pasture, and yet how
many there are, who never dream of
such thing as setting field of clover
OF any of the artificial grasses, relying
altogether upon the precarious resour-
ces Of their corn fields to carry their
stock Through the winter and early
spring months. Nor do many of them
pay proper attention to saving the PROV
ender from those quarters"

4 WELCOME TO THE IMMIGRANT.

Thrice welcome to our sunny land,
The hardy sons oftoil,
Who have left their homes on distant shores
To till our fertile soil!
The matron grave, the blooming maid,
The sturdy yeoman tall,
The rosy, romping boys and gisls--
A welcome to them all!
The Switzer from the Alpine dales,
The German and the Dane
Norwegian, Swedes and Britain's sons,
And the men Of vine-clad Spain;
The Celt, Slovenian, and Magyar,
The Roman and the Gaul-
They're brethren of our common blood
Thrice welcome to them all! |ttt
The Southerland's fields shall smile once
Shall blossom as the rose; [mOre,
And white men rule the land again,
In spite of all our foes. ,t.
Then let warm hearts the exiles greet
Who seek our sunny land;
And meet them all with kindly words,
And with helping hand. r

The LOafer.

This most contemplate specimen Of
all that bears the name of man, and dis
graces humanity, is thus sketched by
the Saratogian. Young man read it, and
if YOU are not already constantly en-
gagged in some honorable vocation, at
once seek situation whereby you may
earn an honest living, and not be either
burden or disgrace to your gray-hair-
ed father or mother:
"The young squirt on the corner,
with his hat little on one side, the stub
of cheap cigar in his mouth, and stare
for every lady that passes-is a loafer.
Do you know where he gets his money?
His mother earns it for him by taking
in washing. Poor soul! She thinks her
boy will get work soon. He could find
work enough to keep him busy fifteen
hours day, if he wanted it. But he is
a lazy loafer, and don't want to work.
If he gets place he shirks, or does his
work SO poorly that he is soon dischar-
ged. He never works for the same man
twice. Or, perhaps, he is particular
what kind of work he does. He is
willing that his mother or sister should
sew or wash to earn money for him to
spend, but he is a little particular what
work he does with his hands. He looks
down on the sweaty carpenter who
hurries by him, mods cOndescendingly
at his friend, the shoemaker, and sends
a Whit of smoke into the eyes of the
bedaubed painter, with both hands full
of paint pots and brushes. He couldn't
borrow ten cents of any one of them.
They know he would never pay it.
They earn their money. He begs his
of his mother. Stylish boy, isn't he?"
