Worse than a Mistake.

An incorporate, proHigate woman lost
child by DEATH and having no means
wherewith to prepare the body for the
grave or procure a burial place, she sent
word to a kind hearted woman who had
ormerly lived in the house with her. This
neighbor at once went to the assistance of
tie woman in distress, and purchased from
her own scanty resources, the materials for
a shroud, which, with the aid of a friend,
she made; and having dressed the corpse,
and arranged the place as tidiiy as she
could, left for her own home.
In The afternoon of the same day, po-
liceman called with a warrant to arrest her
for theft; she, as was stated, having stolen
FIVE dollars from the woman whose dead
child she had Just been preparing for bur
al. The frightened woman protested her
! innocence. She told the officer that the
woman she had befriended was utterly des-
titute, and that instead of taking a penny
from her, she had been helping her That
she was a respectable woman, with a fami-
/ ly of seven children depending upon her
/ that her husband was a hard working man.
and that it was utterly absurd for anyone
/ to accuse her of such a crime. But all in
/ vain. She was taken Immediately before
police justice, and on the testimony of
the woman's daughter-an abandoned girl
she was locked up. Her husband, when
/ he came home at night and learned of the
/ circumstances, was IN great trouble. He
tried to obtain an interview with his wife
and procure her discharge, but he was I'M
successful. Before he could prevent it she
was sent of to the penitentiary. The hus-
band, who knew his wife to be true good
woman, was deeply mortified, and well nigh
frenzied with trouble. He neither ate MOI
slept, and finally to drown his sorrow
yielded to the Intoxicating cup. and crazeC
with rum and misery, in two weeks he died
The children were left to take care O

dence ordered it, some kind persons wer,
visiting the prison and met this woman
who, finding them disposed to listen, a
once related to them her tale of sorrow
which deeply moved their feelings. Meas
ures were at once taken to bring the mat
ter before the proper authorities a petition
was sent to the Governor Who pardonet
her at once, and she was set free. and i'm

Discomfort.


Discomfort is the first fruit" of gracious
influence. Defects seen, prompt to a bet
ter life; not knowing our poverty, naked
ness, guilt and misery, we are complacent
and satisfied. This is death. When the
eyes are opened, we begin to feel our
wretchedness and cry for help. The chris
tian life is marked by hunger and fulness,
discomfort and painting after higher en-
dowments, finding fault with the present
and pressing forward TO perfection, keen
perception of defects and higher views of
the good and spiritually beautiful So there
is an intermingling of complaint and
thanksgiving discomfort and JOY, unrest
and rest, perfect peace" and longing after
/ deeper, richer communion with God and
the more Of God that is enjoyed, the more
earnestly the heart pants for larger draughts
\ of divine life. The ideal is always more
4 perfect than attainments, and desire stretch
| es onward with constant eagerness for high
er and purer experiences.
/ But all discomfort is not Of this type; an
I
other spirit often moves to complaint, a
/ selfish, indolent, enyious spirit. There is
/ immense unrest; the heart is like the
| troubled sea- but it is not a heaithful hun
ger, not longing after purity, not struggle
to be more noble, Christlike, self-denying
and useful. 1t is simple dissatisfaction,
/ fired by passion and disappointed desire.
/ The rewards Of righteousness are desired,
but her works refused; fruitage is wanted
/ but toll disiilled.
This is the spirit which sets the tongue
of SANDER on fire shows itself in envy and
bitterness; which is keen to discover faults
and eager to report them; which makes so
many eloquent over the sins and follies OF
others, but slow to see or mention their
virtues; which charges sordid motives to
those who abound in labors and are re-
warded with success which grumbles al
the plans and endeayors of others, but new
er inaugurates any itself especially where
sacrifice and hard labor are involved
which is anxious to sit in the "uppermost
seats" and have the honor of leadership
but is never ready to do the hardest of the
work, endure the chief sutterngs, make
/ large sacrifices. The wicked spirit show,
itselfin a thousand ways, and it is Away,

possess it, and makes them hang like a clos

At the Post of Duty.

When the Oneida went down, flooded
with the ocean tide, while in the distance
faded the Bombay, unheeding all the sig
mails of distress, the officers stood calmly at
the post Of duty-a fact which has thrilled
the nation with admiration for the brave
men who thus honored the trust commit
ted to them. This sublime heroism filings
around the awful tragedy an imperishable
glory which will cheer noble hearts in all
coming time, when duty calls for martyr
dom. But surely the scene is faint il
lusfration of the connection of earth's great
and constant tragedy, death, with all hui
man experience. When the life bark goes
down, the soul is either a coward, neglect
ing highest stewardship; or, the recording
angel writes in the Lambs Book of Life
before the throne of God, lat the post OF
duty" The celestial host read it, and
welcome the new accession to their ranks
with notes of victorious joy.
Every created intelligence has his post
of duty; and when the waves of death
sweep over his frail bark, he disappears
with the glory of fidelity to it gliding the
dark waters; or, mantled in the gloom, to
which, Christ in his prophetic description
of future awards consigned the ''unpro6ta'
BILE servant"
How wildly earthly tragedies and hero
ic deeds come home to our thought, while
the scenes hourly transporting on the brini
of eternity, and beyond are quite forgotten

those with the wool on.
d. c.. WRIGHT think we can get more
dollars for our wool washed well, but l
think our sheep do better to shear early in

then send it to market, and the buyer
thinks it is honest and good. Sheep will
come up in better condition when sheared

April than in June

Thorough Bred Cattle. ---Importance
of Starting Right.

| shall keep none but herd book animals,
have on hand. have no objections to the
breeding of good Short Horns, whether re-
corded or not, but would advise all who
are commencing the breeding of that no.
BILE race of cattle, not to begin half way to
the head of the class, but fully up, because
they will do as many and most all of US
have done, commence anew, when they see
their mistake; consequently losing just so
much time as is spent without having the
recorded animals. The cost of raising both
classes are alike. You will bear me out in
saying too much time cannot be spent by
those who have had experience in giving
information to those about to embark in
this comparatively new enterprise in Yer
mont. If any doubt these statements, let
them refer to all the older breeders, such
as the Messrs. Winslow, and others in this
state.
l am sorry to say that the Messrs. Ripley
and myself have the only thorough bred
herds of Short Horns in Rutland County
although there are some scattering cattle
of this class
l hope those who are breeding Short
Horns will take pains to retain them in
the State even if it does not prove quite SC
remunerative. See what England has
done disposed of too many of her best cat
tie, and now coming to America to recu-
perate their herds. See what Vermont
did in letting too many of her best breed
ing horses leave the state, and now are
paying largely for the purpose of reimprov-
ing, or at least TO bring them to their for
mer standard. Nothing seems to make q
deep seated impression upon the majority
of farmers, except leaving the doors of tbs
stable and crib unlocked, and losing the
contents thereof-DANIEL KDBALL il

Butter MAKING.

We take the following excellent rules
for making butter from the New England
Farmer :
Over and over again, have we given
rules in the Farmer for butter making,
from some of the best dairy people in New
England; other agricultural papers have
done the same, and yet there seems to be
little improvement in the article ITSELF
Farmers are losing immensely in this par
ticular. Below are some general, and, if
good butter is to be obtained, indispensable
rules for making butter
l. Perfect cleanliness in everything,
from the milking of the COW, to packing
the butter down.
2. A dry, and well ventilated room in
which to set the milk at temperature of
from so to GO degrees.
| g. Cream not to stand over 36 hours
"A is frequently better-in winter, and in
summer II to Is hours, in most dairy
| rooms.
f. Stir the cream, and add little salt
at each time of skimming the milk.
5. Churn often; twice or three times q
week is better than only once.
6. One ounce of salt to a pound of but
ter will more nearly meet the average taste
than larger or smaller quantity.
BY careful observation, it will be found
that the quality of the butter, when prop
erly made, will depend more upon the
original butter making quality of the COW,
than upon the feed. The milk of every
cow should be tested, and only that used
for butter making which throws up rich
cream plentitully. We have cows whose
milk would not only give but very little
cream, but would actually prevent, in some
degree, the cream from rising on the mill
of other COWS.
An excellent dairy woman furnishes the
following, as her mode of proceeding :
"The milk is set in dark, cool cellar, the
temperature, by the thermometer averag
ing 60 to SO degrees. I gather the cream
into stone pot, salt the weeks cream, TO
one COW one teaspoonful of fine salt, ant
stir the cream every day, to keep it swee
while accumulating; then it is strained in
to the churn; it is about 80 minutes com

milk, and turn into the churn four quarts
of cold well water, turn the crank three
times to rinse off the buttermilk, then take
it from the churn and salt it, allowing to
every pound OF butter, two ounces OF slited
salt. I put half the salt in when taken
from the churn, set it into the cellar four
hours, then work it over, by hand, in a
tray, working out the buttermilk, then put
in the remainder of the salt and let it stand

you should never despair. No distressed
woman ever hoped more against hope than
the mother of your preacher. But she

trust in the Omnipotent Arm. She not on

then waited Gods season. She.lived long

pei which he had once despised. And she
