A LITTLE SHEPHERD.-There is a
Digger Indian boy employed on a
sheep ranch in Monterey county, Cali
fornia, who is a human curiosity. He
herds about eight hundred sheep all
by himself, and the overseer says he
knows every one of them by sight,
and when he brings them in at night,
he will get upon the corral fence and
tell whether one of them is missing.
He is about fourteen, and has a face
as round as the moon, and the bright
est black eyes, which fairly sparkle
with mischief. He turns more somer-
saults and hangs head downward from
more trees than one can count readi-
ly, and seems hardly to be aware of the
existence of the sheep during the day,
yet brings them all in at night. Like
true Indian his motions are perfect
ly catlike, and he never calls to his
sheep, but initiates the owl, the wild
cat or the coyote. When his employ
er calls him, he never answers sylla-
BILE, but runs toward him with all his
might.
A revolver was bought for him,
that he might shoot at the coyotes
when they came to prey on his flocks.
but he regarded it with aversion. AT
last they prevailed on him to carry it
two days in succession, and on the
second day he saw a wildcat, crept
upon it with true Indian stealth, lay
fiat on his belly, held the pistol to his
face, and after sighting along the bar
rel, and then squirting at the cat al
ternately about dozen times, at last
he fired. The pistol kicked him in
the burr of the ear, and after that he
could never be induced to take it a
gain. The Diggers are a timorous
and gentle race, and do not take tc
] firearms like the hell-born Apaches.

CHRISTIAN UNION IN HYMNs.-Since the
Church has been divided into many
branches, each has had its sweet singers,
whose music has gladdened all the rest.
1t was Toplady, a severe Calvinist, who
gave us Crock of Ages" Men differ
about the Atonement-they almost call
each other heretics and outcasts in their
differences about it; but when that hymn
is sung, every heart rests upon one Re
deemer. 1t was Wesleyan, an Armin.
ian, who sang, "Jesus, Lover of my soul. .
Side by side are Watts and Wesley
Church of England and Dissenter. Fa-
Der, a devoted Catholic, wrote that hymn
which breathes the highest spirit Of
Christian submission, 81 worship Thee
sweet Will of God" Madam Guion, ar
unquestioning Catholic, wrote, go Lord
how full of sweet content Xavier, one
of the founders of the Jesuit order, wrote
Chou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me up.
on the cross embrace p While the
Church of England was convulsed by the
greatest struggle it has known within
this century, Keble, closely attached tc
one of the contending parties, wrote
the hymn that the whole Church delights
to sing. 1t was strongly pronounced
Unitarian who wrote, 80 Lord divine
that stopped to share" A Unitarian

controversies over the orthodoxy of tha

HSECRET SOCIETIES.

Every little while the religious press
becomes convulsed over ''secret socie-
ties The American Wesleyan of late
is very severe upon them, and says anoth-
er paper, commenting upon its unmerci-
full castigations: at agrees, in this re-
spect, with the Pope and the whole Latin
hierarchy, if that can be any consolation
to it. 1t is extremely severe upon the
Masons, but strikes also at the temper
ance secret organizations. 1t says =
These secret temperance institutions
have the milder principles, though they
have not the horrid oaths of Masonry.
They are the recruiting institutions Of
Masonry. When young man of talent
is found, Masons clap him on the back
and say: Here, if you want to succeed
in life, you must come with u.s. Peo-
pie say that we are driving men into
Masonry so fast that the lodges can hard
ly find time to initiate them. We know
this is not true but we know Masons,
to save themselves from ruin, must put
forth every possible effort to avert the
dire calamity of defamation speeding on.
And perhaps, in their frenzy to save
their order from its fastening doom,
some may, by extra exertions, be entic-
ed in"
Now, were we to look at Masonry in a
calm, christian spirit, we would not get
so excited as the above writer Mason
ry is quite old and if its principles are
corrupt and tend to drive men from vir-
tue and goodness, it would have destroy
ed itself long ere this. God will not
permit a system whose core and heart is
corrupt, to live so long. When the
church of Rome gets corrupt, He will
take off the veil and let the world look
at her black heart and then she loses the
confidence of her supporters, and hence
weakens and falls. And so our wise
Father will do with any false system
The great reason of such outbursts of
passion against 'secret societies is this,
there is part of humanity with curl
osity so strong, that when it can't get
satisfied it gets vexed and seeks the de-
struction of the object that dare refuse
to let itself be fully known. On this
very principle, because men cannot fully
comprehend the mysteries of scripture,
they condemn it, and so the man who is
close-minded and keeps his business
strictly to himself is sometimes suspected
by the inquisitive part of a community.
Let us rest assured when any society
gets in the way of progression and i'm
provement and before the wheels of the
great shining car of religious truth, il
will be dashed off the track or crushed
to death.

1t is worth while to know how to stop
bleeding from the nose when it becomes
excessive. If the finger is pressed firm
ly upon the little artery which supplies
blood to the side of the face affected, the
result is accomplished. Two small ar
teries on each side of the neck, and pass
ing over the outside of the jaw-bone, sup
plies the face with blood. If the nose
bleeds from the right nostril, for exam
pie, pass the finger along the edge of the
right jaw till the beating of the arteryis
felt. Press hard upon it, and the bleed
ing will cease. Continue the pressure
five minutes, until the ruptured vessel
in the nose has time to contract.

PRESBYTERIAN.

The foreign correspondent of the Chris

Is a lull in the negotiations between the
United Presbyterians and the Presbyte-
rians in Scotland for union, the people
of the two branches in England are not
disposed to allow matters to halt. Here
tofore they have followed the Scotch
movement. They now seem disposed to
act for themselves. In accordance with
this view, the Presbytery of Lancashire
had an overture before the English United
Presbyterian Synod that met recently in
London, to the effect that, considering
the delay which has taken place in the
union negotiations, the Synod should
approve of an immediate union between
the English Presbyterian Church and
the portion of the United Presbyterian
Church in England, and should ask the
General Synod, which meets at Edin-

VENr1LATIoN.-Fresh air by day and
by ight, strong and nourishing food, dry
soil ON which to live, sunlight and warm
clothing, are the means of saving many
lives which would have been hopelessly
lost in the preceding generation. If
our conjectures are correct, this improve
ment may be expected to continue, and
everybody can help to make it greater.
Ventilate the schoolrooms, and the work
shops, and the stores, and the houses.
In cold weather let the air, comfortable
and equally warmed, be generally sup
piled from without in a constantly flow
ing current Let those who can provide
it in their homes remember that an open
fire, which sends two-thirds of the heat
up the chimney, furnishes the best ven
tilation for a room of moderate size,
which the ingenuity of man has yet de-
vised, and that the heat escaping by the
fue is the price to be paid for it. Let
in the sunlight, and never mind the car
pets; better they should fade than the
health of the family. When a man pro-
poses to build dwelling in a swamp,
warn him of his danger.

BLACKBERRY WINE.-Crush the ripe
blackberries Immediately after they are
gathered and press and strain through a
cloth. No water should be added. To
every gallon of pure juice add three and
half pounds of the best refined sugar,
and put the mixture in jugs or jars, fill
ing them completely full. Place them
in proper temperature for fermentation.
After couple of weeks pour off the clear
liquid, cleanse the jugs, and return it,
adding to each gallon one pint of the
best French brandy.

If there is way to burn kerosene oil
without danger of explosion, it should
be made public. We quote from an ex-
change the following recipe: "Cram the
wick into the lamp, fill the interstices
with sponge, and saturate the whole
thoroughly with kerosene as long as
eny oil remains in the wick the lamp
keeps burning, and no danger need be
apprehended from upsetting and even
breaking the lamp. A lamp so used is
perfectly safe. -
