A Tender Conscience.

| A good example Of a morbidly ten
der conscience, IA we'll as one wholly
imperviOus to conviction OF wrong
is afforded in the story OF a halter
and blacksmith, who were members
Of the same church. The latter, who
was thoroughly pions man, arose
one day in conference meeting &c
tell of the enjoyment he experienced
in communion with God, in which
| delightful duty he spent an hour in
the middle Of each day. "Try it,
brethren" said he, "you will be rich.

gagged, / would not lose my devoiions
even if knew l were losing the sale
of u hat-that is" he added, after n
moments pause, "a wool hat" The
blacksmith, unlike the halter, never
troubled himself to make corrections.
On the contrary, his crying sin was
that of cxaggeration. His deeds Of
valor were no less remarkable than
Sir John FalstaH, and tho enemies
whom he disputed in battle often in
creased in the same ratio as those OF
the hero of Gad's Hill. The breu,-
rem of,hc church, panied by the re-
proach which these marvellous stories
seemed to bring OH his profession,
resolved to call meeting, invite the
offending brother to be presenL, aud
in a delicate way, hint to him that
he was doing much harm to the cause
of ofreligion. A number Of Indirect

blacksmith, tho halter rose and said
he should bc under the painful neccs-

Pleasant Homes.

AS we travel through the country
we have nothing to regret so much
as the almost entire want OF homs
embellishments, such "a shrub, vines
and climbers, lawns, evergreens and
shade trees. There is nothing in ua-
turo so refining to man as to be sur
rounded at home with these beauties,
most of which are within the reach
Of every one who Is able to own real
estate. How lamentably true 1t Is
that not over one in twenty OF all
our farmers throughout the capntry
but ore almost destitute of anything
deserving the name Of ornamental
ton about their dwellings, and still
more, are destitute of either lawn or
pleasure grounds. If farmer
should devote an acre of land to
lawn and pleasure grounds judici.
ously, but rather sparingly planted
with evergrcens, interspcrscd with a
few cherries, pears, Siberian crabs,
or deciduous ornamental trees, and
also few Towering shrubs and vines,
such an acre would soon be worth
any other ten acres on the farm.
Children all love flowers aud orna-
mental shrubbery, and above all,
they love a beautiful grass plat G
lawn for o playground, where toll
end labor can DO dismissed, and re~
creation and true enjoyment draYn
into their fill. 1t requires little 20
induce children to learn to love TO
decorate home. Give them tho cp-
portupity, and with but little outlay,
they will increase the value Of that
acre one hundred fold. When shrub
berry and evergeens are once planted,
they will need good cultarc for few
years, and after they get n aod
start, the plat may be laid into blue
grass, and soon beautiful grass plat
alrl shady lawn will bless the entire
household tor all their labor and eN.
pense. Compare this picture With
the bleak, bare grounds Of nine
tenths OF. all our farmers homes,
and we should think il would need
no argument to convince all.

LIFE.-IIe who attempts to com.
press three lives in one will incvita-
bly, experience a failure. He who
tries to live in the past and future
merely vegetables in the present. The
true idea is to live in the present for
the future, inasmuch rs the present
becomes the future between the in
spiration and expiration of each
breath.
There are those who arc continual
ly dwelling in the past, contempla-
ting the merits or the wealth of dis
tinguished and cxtinguished ances-
tors, or the fortunes they have lost
by not having acquired them when
they had an opportunity, &c. Then
there is another class, who avoid re-
trOspection to escape unpleasant re-
minisccnccs, and they neglect the
duties of the woes or joys, failures
or successes of the future. From all
which We make the following dcduc-
ton: Attend to present duties, III
dustriously, intelligently and rclig-
iously, and the past may be forgot on
and the future trusted.

Help to Next Winters Cattle Food.

Every acre of ground cleared of
oats, wheat, or any other crop har-
vested so that it can be plowed and
cultivated in July can be made to
help through the winter. Some arti-
ticial manure on the ground put in
close to the seed in rows or in conti-
guilty any way, would bring o good
crop of turnips after the soil had
been thoroughly cultivated, which
might be kept in cellars or
otherwise, to hold out Till spring.
Rape sown immediately after the har-
vesting of grain, will produce a
heavy mass of food which sheep,
young cattle, &C., could feed on late
in the autumn, and would thus save
feeding with hay or fodder so soon,
and this would seem to shorten the
winter very much. Rape is grown
extensively in Canada. Those who
have prejudice against turnips,
rape, and oil green food for winter,
can SOW or drill corn thick, and If
they put plenty of manure they may
save a great deal of very valuable
fodder, which probably may be worth
more per acre than any of their hay
crops. Doubtless there is land
enough which will be doing nothing
till next spring to grow fodder tur-
nips, rape or other food, to support
half the animals in the United States,
and the land would really be benefit
ted in the cultivation and growth OF
tho intervening crop. Let any one
reading this statement, look round at
bis ncighbor's fiehis, where he will
see hay that ought to have been put
in the barns month ago; oxen and
horses lying still which might have
plowcd and got ready the fields fol-
planting with the aforesaid crops!

COME IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.

Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come to me oft,
When the whitp wings of sleep
On my bosom lie soft.
Oh como when the sea,
In the moons gentle light.
Beats soft on the air.
Like the pulse of tho night;
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loftiest blue,
When the dew's on the flower
And the stars on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
oh come and we'll stray
Where the whole year Is covered
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is sweet
As the coo of the dove,
And the gales arc as soft
As the breathings Of love;
Where tho beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The'sweet lessons they teach.
Como in beautiful dreams, loyo,
Oh como and we'll fly
Like two winged spirits
OF love through the sky:
With hand claspod in hand
On our dream wings well go
Where tho starlight and moonlight
Are blending their glow;
And on tho bright clouds VIII lingcr,
Of fHurple and gold,
TIL the angels shall envy
The bliss thoy behold.

What Vaccination Has Done.

Through the Increase OF intelligence
three great diseases, the Oriental
plague, the scurVy, and the smallpox,
contemporary says, "have been
comparatively consigned to the past.n
With regard to the latter disease, it is
hard to imagine its destructive viru-
lence In old times. Its average annual
death rates seventy years ago, in couu-
tries where 1t was most closely observ-
ed, was about 1900 to 10000 Of pop
ulatiOn, and nearly one-tenth Of all
who died, died Of this disease What
vaccination has effected may be infer.
red from the fact that in Copenhagen,
In twelve years before the introduction
Of vaccination, $500 died of small
pox; from the year 1902 to 1913, q
period Of sixteen years after vaccina-
ton had been compulsory, only l5S
persons died of smallpox over the
whole Kingdom of Denmark, out of q
population Of 100000.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT,

The question Of who is to be the next
President has been leading one for some
time, and will continue to grow in interest
until the Presidential election Of 1872 de-
termlnes it. 1t is possible the popular
vote may not decide who is to be Presi-
dent for the four years commencing on
the fourth of March, 1873. In that case
the House Of Representatives will make a
choice Of a President. It has seldom oc-
CURED, however, that the choice of a
President has devolved upon the lower
branch Of Congress, and it is to be hoped
the people may succeed in electing the next
President, thus avoiding the excitement
that choice in the House of Representa-
tives will necessarily create. With the
exception of Thomas Jefferson and John
Quincy Adams, the Presidents, commence
ing with Washington, have been chosen
by the Presidential electors elected by the
people of the several States composing the
American Union. In the Presidential
election of 1900 John Adams and General
Pinckney were the candidates of the
Federal party for President and Vice
President, and Thomas Jefferson and
Colonel Burr were the candidates of the
