How to Keep Celery.


A correspondent of Moore's Ru
raj gives the following hints:
"For the benefit of those of you
readers who have never succeeded
in keeping celery in eatable condi
ton throughout a winter, land
know of seyeral) 1 will give rule
by which | have preserved celery
free from rot or rust, as late as the
last of March. Never work at eel
cry in any way, except the plants bt
perfectly dry. Earth up never be
fore ten O'Clock. A. NJ, or after foul
A. NJ, and then on only dry and sun
shiny days. In the fall, as soon a.
the ground began to freeze enough
to make the slightest crust in the
morning, select dry and sunshiny
day, and as near noon as possible
pack your celery in boxes, Il use
soap or starch boxes placing first
layer of earth about one inch deep;
then a layer of celery; placing the
plants just far enough apart not 10
lay against each other, and thus al
ternately earth and celery until the
boxes are filled, havlng the first and
List layers of earth. Place the box
es where the celery will not freeze,
(but not in heated room, and
your celery will keep splendidly,
and always convenient for use"

Evening.

Much of our lifetime is compos
ed of the evening hours, which may
if we choose. become the pleasant
est and most profitable part of oul
lives. 'Tis then we may gather
around the home circle, and enjoy
uninterrupted, the society of father,
mother, brothers, sisters, and per
haps children.
Here, in the twilight hours among
such friends whose sympathy and
affection are equalled nowhere out
side of the domicil we so lovingly
call home, true, pure and perfect
happiness may be secured, if we but
make the effort.
Evenings spent at home exert ar
influence for good over our lives
which is felt even until the shades
of our closing days fall upon us
How many young men have wander
ed from truth, temperance, honesty
and respectability, simply because
the evenings of their youths were
mlsspent!
When the hours of darkness are
falling about us, and the day ha.
gone never to be recalled, we should
find our pleasantest hours, our besi
and purest pleasures, our mostnobl,
and inspiring am bitions.
Do we strive as best We can Il
render to our young members of thu
family an evening of our comfor
and happiness at "Home, the dear
est spot on earth?"

The Bullet and the Bible.

Weary of the restraints of home,
and tired Of the quiet of civil life, a
young man enlisted in the army.
He had been blessed with a praying
mother, who never ceased to seek
his welfare and salvation. On leav-
ing home for the strifes and dangers
Of military life, his mother gave him
a small pocket Bible, with the re-
quest that he would read some por
tion of it daily. With her prayers
and blessings, he departed.
While engaged in fearful battle,
in which many comrades of this
young man were killed, bullet
struck him; the Bible prevented its
penetrating his body. After the
conflict, he took from his side-pocket
the Book which had saved his life,
and examined how far it had pene-
trated. 1t rested on these words:
"Rejoice,O o young man, in thy youth;
and let thy heart cheer thee in the
days of thy youth; and walk in the
ways of thy heart, and in the sight
of thine eyes; but know thou, that
for all these things God will bring
thee into judgment" Eccl. xi. 9.
The soldier was deeply affected
by these words. They seemed like
a voice from heaven. He pondered
over "these things" and the reckon
ing time, ''The day of judgment"
He sought place to weep and to
pray alone. He confessed his sins
to the God of his mother. In her
Redeemer he sought and found for
giveness. He became praying
man, student of the Bible, sin
cere Christian, doing what he could
for the salvation of his fellow-sol
diers. The religion of Christ filled
his soul. His love warmed his
heart.
In the course of time this Young
man received his discharge from the
army, and became an earnest and
successful minister of the gospel.
and won many souls to Christ.
Often in his preaching he would say
"This blessed Book saved my life,
and it has saved my soul also"
This well-known incident of Gods
providence and grace suggests to us
many lessons:
Mothers, pray for your sons, and
when they leave your home, give
them a Bible. Young men, spare
time once a day, at least, to read a
few pages of the words of Jesus.
Never man spake like him. What
a precious friend is the Bible. 1t
talks to us as a faithful friend. 1t
leads us to look into our hearts. 1t
leads to seek the Friend of sinners,
and to trust Him who gives pardon,
peace and eternal life. \

Taking Hold and Letting Go


Peters venture-I call it venture,
and yet it was not venture, for that
implies hazard, whereas there was
no risk-was leaving a leaking,sink
ing boat, to go on board noble
ship. Still to human eyes, though
not to angels, it was venture
Frail as the vessel was, it was to hu-
man eyes safer than the sea. Out
of this vessel he let himself down
into the raging sea, and began his
walk. He was now wholly in the
arms of Jesus; nothing between
him and the waves but these ever
lasting arms. What his feelings
were in letting go his hold of the
ship we do not know; perhaps very
peculiar; but with that word Come
sounding over the waves why should
he fear? His was the venture ol
faith; faith which showed itself
not in its power to grasp. but to LET
go the vessels side-the human
stay. Yes, we often speak of faith
as taking hold, but here it is seen
in letting go. = Horatio Bona r

Brilliant and Economical
Starch.

A brilliant and economical starch
finish is make by taking one pound
of wheat starch and stirring it up
carefully in six pounds of cold wa
ter until it is reduced to a homo
genous paste. One ounce of aqua
ammonia is then to be added by
constant stirring, after which the
paste becomes slightly yellow and
swells considerably. 1t is next tc
be diluted with five pounds of cold
water, and then brought nearly tc
the boiling point, stirring continu
ally. After a quarter Ol an hour al
this temperature all the surplus am
monia Will have become volatilized
and the mixture will be found to
furnish an economical size, usefu
for a great many purposes. Linen
starched with this not only becomes
sitter, but much more lustrous. II
may also be used for coating wood
to be polished,as it completely clos
es the pores.

The Safe Place.

The natives of the Sandwich Is
lands, before they received the gos-
pei, were savage and cruel people.
They were often at war with one
another; and, besides this, many
were killed by direction of the chiefs,
either when they were offended, OF
wanted victims to offer before their
idols.
But there was one singular Gus
tom that gave sure protection against
cruelty. Certain places were ap
pointed where persons in danger OF
losing life might 60, and be secure
against all violence. One OF these
places was near Kealakekua Bay, a
spot famous as the locality where
the great discoverer, Capt. Cook, was
killed in 1779.
Here are still found the remains
of an immense stone wall, twenty
one feet high, and as many broad.
This enclosed large space on three
sides, while the fourth side was open
to the sea. At one end was a tenn
pie, with affairs and images, before
which priests performed ceremonies.
Even the most powerful chief would
not dare lay hands on a man there;
for,if he should, the gods, he believed
would punish him.
There were no judges here to con-
denim, no officers to punish. After
being in this place for a few days,
man might 60 away ,and still no one
would dare kill him; for a kind of
sacredness now belonged to him.
In time of war, the women and
children of both parties assembled
in this place of refuge, while the
men fought with one another. Here
they were safe, whichever side might
gain the victory. No enemy would
venture to attack them.
All readers will note the interest
ing likeness of this custom to the
appointment of settles of refuge"
among the Jews.
What good illustration of the
safety and peace of a soul that flies
to Christ! He is our refuge. If
We are sin him." there can be no
one to condemn us; and our great
enemy can never reach us.
