Family REGIMES.

l. For repairing family Jars.-
Mutual love well stirred with for
bearance, mixed with readiness to
forgive, and general good temper,
is an admirable cement. 1t is well
to let all family jars be shelVed at
once.
2. Preserving.-The topper is best
kept by using as little vinegar as
possible. The heart, by using
abundantly of the oil of grace.
Treasures, by laying them up where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.
3. Creams.-TIe milk of true
faith, if it stands long enough, yields
the cream of assurance; if favored
with the essence of love, it is a de-
icious dish.
4. Stews.-These are best avoided
by leaving our troubles with him who
sent them.
5. Pickles.-Those persons get in
to them most who meddle with 9th
er peoples business, or who act on
the rule of policy rather than that Of
truth aud unswGrving honesty.
6. Dressed peacock.-This is too
common and poor n production to
be introduced into Christian fani-
hes.
T. To cure cold and heartburn
Do all the good you can, live near to
God, love your neighbor as yourself.
8. Fritters Novel reading, silly
conversation, gossiping, ceremonial
visits and late rising, soon fritter
away time Christians have not Il
moment to waste.
Q. Tart-Sone think tart replies
to he smart, but il is never 50 wise
to let our wit wound other peoples
feelings. Soft answers turn away
wrath, tart speeches lead to general
souruess.
10. Sauce Never to be tolerated
in children; a vulgar and evil thirg
in any one. Generally found to go
with goose.
IL. Crabs-Need grating with
some sweeter fruit. He who can do
it is named in Johu Nv. l.
10. Toas's Least likely to effect
the head when drunk III water. Toast
and water is far better than healths
drank in wire.
ID. Mincing -OaIy pracIiced by
very silly persons; natural manners
are best. See Isaiah iii. 1G. for "A
warning against those who are de-
scribed rs walking and mincing as
they go. '--ReU. G. II, SpurgeOR.

lon of Female Hands.

Il is a mission of some women to
dress aud talk gossip. It is the mis-
sion of others to toll and win bread
by the sWelt of the face. We pro
duce annually six b undred millions
of pounds of butter, worth $780,
600, 900, aud two hundred and forty
million Of pounds of cheese, worth
$36,000,000. Or course, a good deal
of this work is done by men, but by
far the larger portion of it is the
toll of fem lie hands. But women
do not D at the dairy They as
sist man II the great work of pro
duction in other fields in gardening,
aud in the care of live stock they
prove their efficiency. The cases
are exceptional where the female en-
cages III the more heavy work of
the farm, such as blowing and wood
choppinp, and it is we'll that 1t Is SO,
as she who bears our children should
not be made a common drudge. To
find how useful woman can be, go
to Long Branch. To learn how
useful she actually Is, visit rural
homes whei e contentmeut reigns. It
is a mistake to bring up girls IN the
belief that they have nothing to do
III lie but dress, and talk scandal
Most OF us acknowledge this, and yet
we 20 on repeating ii. Fortunately,
however, the county Is broad, and
the notions of the town are not re-
ceived with general Iayor in its pure
atmosphere. It is bad enough for
two women to be dronCs, but when
they develop into such luxurious
gossamors as to require PIN money
at the rate of ten or tw enty thou
sand dollars year, we may well hold
our bre It'll with feeling of alarm.
Much of the prosperity of the
country is due to female industry.
and let us hope that this branch Of
industry will never dwindIo to
smaller proportion than now.

promising their responsibility but the

believed, when he gave it to the world
that IL was an unequalled tonic, free
from the objections urged against the
medicated fire-waters and dilutions OF
strychnine, quinine and other powerful

but he scarcely expected that it would
prove Il specific for chronic dyspepsia,
liver-complaint, incipient consumption,
confirmed rheumatism, govt, scrOfula,
nervous affections, general debility and
all diseases that disorders, without de-
stroying, the vital machinery. Yetthis,

spired to deceive the public, Is actually
the case.

English cron Prospects.

The following extract which we
condeBse from the London Field
of July 9th, is interesting as cor
roborative, from another and later
source, of the information on this
subject already published

ers on their prospects. Pastures, it
is true. are 50 full of grass that cat

though surrounded with plenty, have
not justified expectation wealth

grass too watery. Foot and mouth
disease of q severe type Is very
prevalent and increasing. We want
sunshine to mature everything. The
last fortnight has shown a great
improvement, and Immediately the
newspaper authorities are speaking
hopefully. The sunshine Of July Is
to make good the injury done in
May aud June We are thankful
for such weather as we have had
lately-without it much of the cereal
crop would have been wori HESS but
we cannot delude ourselves into the
belief that we can have an average
crop of wheat. Barley, which occu-
pies an unusua ly large area, having
been planted instead oil wheat in
many instances, promises badly on
most soils, but especially on strong
land. Oats are generally good, and,
with fine weather, will be the re-
deemiug feature of our cereal har-
vest. This crop stands moisture
well, hence it's growth in the humid
districts in the Northwest of Eng
land and Scotland. Loguminous
crops are promising where clean, but
the aphis has made it's Appearance
in some cases, and may do much mis-
chief. Even the root crop, which
has generally got in under
favorable conditions, and came away
from the fly rapidly, has suffered
from the rain. Harvest viii be later
than usual by two or three weeks.

4 Used I'D Horse

Mrs. H. S, Medley. Of New Castle,
Pa, asks if any OF our readers know
cure Tor big head, or mad staggers
in horses. She says" We lost a
horse some time ago. The symptoms
were, first he began to tHrn tue sight
Of his eyes backward; then he be-
camo stupid; would shake his head;
got stiff ia his hind legs; his back
appeared affected all along, He lived
about a week after being taken, eat
ing heartily ali the while. The doc
tors could not cure him and called
the disease big head or mad stag
gers. The diseases called big Lead
and mad staggerB are very much I'M
like, but this horse had neither of
them. The disease was probably an
affection of the spice, which also
affected the brain, and was practical
ly incurable, or if relieved, the horse
would never have been of any use at
forwards.

would frequently forget obligations,
and allow their passions to enter and

their passions. 1t was at one OF
these periods that the two distin-

were out spoken, and meant what
they said. They were positive and
representative men. At one OF
their exchange, conversational, of
hand discussions, they started TO at

or, they fired their heaviest guns at
each other and ut the policy of each
party. Without the least hesitation
or cquivocation whatever, they huri-

they stopped and looked at each

A London correspondent write S
concernsng the Great Raft Of the
Red River which was partially re-
moved in the years 1875, at an ex-
pense of three hundred thousand
dollars, and was then allowed to nc
cumulate again. He says that it
seems to move against the current
instead of with it, the motion being
at the rate of about two miles year.
The explanation of this is that the
logs at the lower end of the raft are
disintegrated and carried away by
floods aud freshets, while the upper
end constantly receives additions,
and this gives it an apparent up
ward cotton which, since its first
formation. has seemed to carry it
about four hundred miles.
