Having Depends On Using.

"Whosoever hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he hath. Matt.
1912.
This is one of our Lords enigmati-
cal saying. 1t seems to contradict it
self, for how can that be taken away
from a person which he has not?
To express the truth in simple pro-
position it is this: He that does not use
his talents will soon lose them. He
who neglects his opportunities of doing
good will soon have no opportunity to
improve.
There are many persons in the
Church who appear to have none. They
have not the ability to work for Jesus
They have not voice to speak of their
Lord. As for money, they have none
to give to religious objects. They think
they cannot labor in the Sabath>school,
and so they do not. They give nothing
and get nothing. They do no work and
receive no reward.
From these persons that appear to
have not will be taken away what they
have. The servant buried his one tai
ent and appeared to have not. When
the day Of reckoning came, from the
servant who appeared not to have one
talent Was taken away that which he
really possessed.

THE Democratic party of Pennsyl-
vania occupies most humiliating posi-
ton. At its receut State convention at
Harrisburg it in effect confesses to hav-
ing been a slanderer and libeler, retracts
and apologies for its misrepresentation,
and acknowledges that the policy of the
Republican party has been correct, aud
ieprecates "the discussion Of issues
which have been settled in the manner
and by the authority constitutionally ap-
pointed" At their conventions here
tofore the Democrats have taken just
the opposite position, and have declared
the measures of the Republican party
to be revolutionary, unconstitutional and
void. Such inconsistency needs no CON-
ment. 1t may safely be left with honora-
bic men in that party to determine
whether they will continue con-
lection with such an organization.-

SOME of our readers who have lived
fifty years may be glad to know what
they have accomplished in that time.
According to a French statistician, the
average man has, at that age, slep. g.
600 days, worked $500 days, walked
800 days, amused himself 1000 days,
spent 1900 in eating, and been sick
500 days. He has eaten 1900 pounds
of bread, 10000 pounds of meat, and
4,6OQ pounds of vegetables, fish, &C.,
drank 1000 gallons of liquids. There
are 1920 days in half century, and
from the above statement, it would
seem that man slept just one-third of
the time.

The Uasful Iaaile.

"How, little notice is ever taken OF
you in the world" said a pin to a needle,
"You are always about your work, slip
ping in and out so softly, but never
stopping to be praised. When a pretty
dress is finished, who thinks Of the
needle that sewed it? Even the holes
that you make are so small that they
close up directly behind you."
"Pm content to be useful" said the
needle. 81 do not asked to be praised
| do not remain in my work, it is true
but | leave behind me thread which
shows that my course has not been il
vain"
So let US quietly pass through life
doing our duty as we go, remembered
!or some good work left behind, when
we ourselves have departed.

No MORE cratic and terrible picture
ol plague stricken city was ever con-
templated by horror stricken mortal
eyes than is now presented by the fear
fully afflicted capital of the Argentine
Republic-Buneos Ayers. For second
time within few months has that fell
scourge of our race, the yellow fever,
visited the city. At the first dread vis-
itation $4,000 human being fell be-
meath the deadly disease, then the fatal
epidemic abated, and was thought to be
over; persons who had fled from'the de-
vastated town returned, but no sooner
had business been resumed than the in
fection broke out with renewed force
and malignity. All communication is
now cut off with the doomed capital; it
is only known that men, women and
children are dying there by thousands,
and a correspondent from Montevideo
forcibly remarks that Buenos Ayres is
a "City of the Dead" Never has the
yellow fever performed its work of death
as efectually as in this unfortunate city,

Little Sundav-schools.

Somebody out west "hits the nail on
the head" after this fashion:
"Much or nothing" is the motto of
some people. Hence, as do many old
people, so do many children suffer for
want of help. A distinguished educa-
tor who happened to dwell few months
on the frontier, refused to take a Sun
day-school class of dozen fifteen to
eighteen year old boys, because, as he
said, he couldn't give his time to less
than hundred pupils! Will he ever
hear the "Inasmuch as ye did to unto
one of the least!" Is he alone in that
error?
Two or three peighbors can have
Sunday-school. 1t is amusing to hear
Christian fathers and mothers, with halt
dozen children, mourning because they
can't 90 to Sunday-school Meet at one
of the houses, sing, say the Lords
prayer, get the "Leaf Cluster" for three
dollars, a dozen Testaments, a dozen
Bearean question books, and anything
more you want; ten dollars will "out-
fit" you. Then talk, sing, study, relig-
iously enjoy yourselves together for an
hour, and that is a Sunday.school.
Who cannot hold them? Don't be
afraid to go through the form for few.
Don't imagine you are born to do moth
ing until you can do something great.
A calf is Legitimate start for a stock
farm, and half dozen of them make a
splendid start. So every little newborn
spirit will carry new birth to others, and
honest labor, though small, will tell in
the hundreds of conversions, perhaps,
before YOU die.

Some people are like snails; they car
ry their spiritual homes around with
them on their backs. You never see
them twice in the same church. They
are religious vagabonds forever On the
move, and without any fixed abode
Nothing short of death in their family
gives them pastoral connection. 1t is
astonishing how many moribund parish
toner's the pastor OF city church can
have. This is wretched habit, aud
nothing too severe can be said in its
condemnation. .-[W W. II. II. Murray.

TINE OF CUTTING Wharf.-The
best time for cutting wheat is when the
gain has acquired the consistency of
stiff dough, and can be kneaded between
the thumb and foreGuger. Grain so
cut is plump and heavy. Left until it
is entirely ripe. it shrinks, and there is
more loss from shattering of tie seed,
and from broken heads; morever, it has
been proven by repeated experiments
that wheat cut before it is fully ripe
will yield so per cent. more -four than
the same grain will produce when dead
ripe.
