Conversion of Count Gasparin.

AdOlph Monod, one of the most gifted
and faithful evangelical ministers of the pre-
sent century, preached Christ crucifed and
his free grace, to his church in Lyons. One
Sabbath, preaching from the text "God SC
loved the world that he gave his only begot
ten Son." &C., be spoke of the person Of
Christ as the true Goldman. He announced
at the same time that the next Sabbath he
should show how men could be saved through
faith in this Goldman. But the authorities
of this church were full of Catholic and
other errors, and opposed to doctrine SO
truly evangelical. Hence, they informed
Monod that if he did not omit the sermon he
had announced they would have him arrested,
and brought before the project, and dismissed
from his office. Monod, Notwithstanding,
preached his sermon, and the authorities
made their complaint. The project demand
ed the two sermons of the accused, and
MonOd sent them to him. The project was
a Catholic count, Count de Gasparin. He
came home at evening to his wife and found
the sermons. He had never liked sermons,
especially evangelical sermons. But he was
a man who discharged faithfully the duties
of his office. 1t was necessary that the SER
mons should be read. He came to his wife
with the manuscripts in his hand, complain
ing that he would have to give up the whole
evening to the irksome and prOtracted labor.
She offered, as her husbands worthy help
meet, to read the sermons with him, so that
the task might seem to him less. tedious
They began. They read the first. With
every page they grew more and more in
terested They forgot that it was evening
and night. That which was at first an official
duty became service of the heart. They
finished the first and eagerly grasped the
second. And what was the result? AS a
magistrate, as project, Gasparin was forced
to deprive MonOd of his place because all
the authorities demanded it. But he and
his wife became evangelical Christians, yes,
living, joyful and happy believers in Christ.
They found that night the pearl of great
price, and it has remained.in the family.
Their son, Count AgenOr de Gasparin, has
long been the head and. pillar of the evan
gelical party in France.-Traslatea from
the German ia Watebman and Reflector.

adequately represent the virtues Of their
natural combination. Such mystical philc-
sophy as this is not likely to find ready ac-
ceptsnce in these days of positive science,
and unless supported by evidence of an in
controvertble nature, claims of the kind will
not advance the reputation of Spring
Yet there are examples in France and Ger
many where Springs have wide fame for
the cure of certain diseases, without any viSi-
BILE reason why, in their waters.
1t would be most desirable study in this
country for a physician of experience in
such matters to make tour to our most re-
nowned mineral waters, and to ascertain
more accurately than we can now learn, their
real merits. Most of the published descrip-
tons now extant are by proprietors, hotel
keepers, or those in their interest, who are
only concerned to brag as loudly as possible
about the virtues of particular sources.
Certain it is that the prolonged use of any
mineral water, in health or disease, is Of
doubtful efficacy, and is generally directly
preiudicial.

A Telegraph Story.

1 think the most curious fact, taken alto
gether, that ever heard of the electric tel
egraph, was told me by cashier of the Bank
of England. You may have heard of it,
1t may have been in print. / am sure it de
serves to be. "0nce upon time, then,
on certain Saturday night, the folks at the
Bank could not make the balance come
right, by just 9100. This is a serious mat.
ter in that little establishments do not
mean the cash, but the mistake in arithmetic
for it occasions a world of scrutiny. An
error in balancing has been known, l am
told, to keep a delegation of clerks from
each Office at work sometimes through the
whole night. A hue and cry was of course
made after this e100, as if the old lady in
Thread,needle street would be in the Ga
zette for want of it. Luckily on the Sunday
morning, clerk (in the middle of the SER
mon, l dare say, if the truth were known,
felt suspicion of the truth dart through his
mind quicker than any flash of the telegraph
itself. He told the chief cashier on Monday
morning that perhaps the mistake might
have occurred in packing some boxes of

Here was race-lghtning against steam,
with eight and forty hours start given. In.
stantly the wires asked "Whether such a
vessel had left the harbor?" "JuSt weigh

frantically shouted the electric telegraph.
1t was done. Have up on deck certain
boxes marked so and so; weigh them care
fully" They we're weighed; and One-the
delinquent-was found by just one packet
of hundred sovereigns heavier than it
ought to be. "Let her go, said the mys-

error was corrected without ever looking into
boxes, or delaying the voyage by an hour.

The Importance of Mnlohinr.

A sagacious fruit grower, near New Brunswick,
New Jersey, mulches his place heavily, and never
removes it from one year end to another His soil
is always cool and mellow and his trees and vines
never suffer from heat; his fruit is large, fair and
delicious, and'hs produce is extraordinary in guam
tity For all newly planted trees in the spring of the
year mulching is the only safe guarantee of their
success; without mulching many will fail; with it
not one should be lost. The practice is also saw
ing of labor and il the mulch is applied two or three
inches deep it will keep down all weeds. Nulching
can also be use to retard the rpenng of fruit from
three to ten days. Upon light, sandy soil currants
cannot be grown without it. Pears dropping from the
trees are safe from bruises. Tomatoes well mulched
will double their produce We scarcely know of a
single objection to mulching, and in experience
it has proved to be one of the most economical aids
to fruit culture brought to the notice of the
public. Try it, farmers, all of you, and see what
the result will -Horticultmrist.

81 Want to be a Minister.

More than century ago there lived in
England an orphan boy with promising tai
ents, who often said, Il want to be a minis
ter" but having no money to carry out the
great desire of his heart, his youthful spirit
was often bowed to the earth by disappointed
hope.
Once a wealthy lady offered to pay the
expenses at school if he would study and be-
come minister in her Church; but the boy
loved the Church of his fathers, and could
not be induced to leave his spiritual mother,
so he respectfully declined the lady's kind
offer.
So afterWard he visited a learned minister
Of bis own Church, and asked the good pas
tors advice in regard to studying for the
ministry; but here he obtained no encOur-
sgement at all. Now the friendless boy
went to God, and while he was engaged in

A Hint to Nurses.

You know what racket is caused, even by the
most careful hand, in supplying GOALS to CRATE or
stove, and how when the performances undertaken
by the servant, it becomes almost distracting. II
you don't remember, take notice the first time you
are i'll, or you have dear patient in your care, or
the baby is in quiet slumber. Let some one bring
on her coal scuttle or shovel and revive your recol
lection. WE'LL the remedy we suggest is to put the
Goals in little paper bags, each holding about a
shovelful. These can be laid quietly on the fire,
and, as the paper gnites, the Goals will shortly settle
in place. You may fill a coalscuttle or box with
such parcels, ready for use. For a sick-room, a
nursery at night or even for library, the plan is
admirable. Just try it. Besides, it is so clearly.
If you don't choose to provide yourself with paper
bags you can wrap the Goals in pieces of newspaper
at your leisure, and have them ready for use when
occasion requires.

Children Attending Church.

The following paragraph from the y. y.
Times is worthy of the attention of parents
We have no sympathy with the sentiment
that would excuse the little ones from at
tending church, simply because they cannot
understand all that the preacher says. 1t
is quite possible that they do not under
stand much that is spoken and done in an
ordinary church sermon. But if the sermon
is Greek to the young people, we must re-
member that it is not always plain English
to the grown people. The amount of truth
clearly apprehended and fairly appreciated
by the average adult nearer, as set forth in
the sermon, is small Children understand
more and better than we usually think. a
minimum of truth fastened in the memory,
proves, not seldom, to be the sword of the
Spirit which saves a soul. Put the question
Of understanding aside, the habit of attend
ing church is invaluable, and the practice
should be insisted on when the child is
young, till it becomes a fixed habit. "While
my boy eats at my table, says one, "he
must sit in my pew" A good diotum, per-
haps; but should not the parent and the
preacher come to an understanding about
the fare? Should not the pulpit, in its men
tai provision for the child, offer some of the
nourishment aud attractiyeness of the pa
rents table?

fervent prayer, the mail-carrier knocked at
the door of his closet and handed him let
ter from friend of his father, with an offer
to assist him in his studies for the ministry.
Then his desire was gratifed, and he be-
came one of the most useful ministers OF
England. His name was Philip DOddridge
We commend his example to all our readers.
The Lord wants many ministers. Great
numbers who are now boys must soon preach
the Gospel. We should be concerned both
about the duty of serving the Lord and h0'0
we should serve him. If it is a boys duty
to enter the ministry, he should stree hard
to enter it as well as he should stree hard
to enter heaven; and he should pray for the
Lords guidance in the one case as well as
he should pray for it in the other.

sugar-Cane on Small Farms.

One of our most remunerative agricultural indus
tries has been threatened with ruin since the aboli-
ton of slavery, but we have always believed that
sooner or later way would be found out Of the
troubles which, since the war, have embarrassed the
sugar planter The natural solution, it has seemed
to u.s. is the subdivision of the large plantations into
small farms which can be worked by free labor-the
sugar-house becoming, of necessity, cooperative
institution, to which sugar planters may haul their
cane for grinding and reducing to sugar, just as
Northern farmers haul their grain to mill to be
ground and boted. Strange as it may seem, this
practice has not yet gained much popularity but we
find in letter to the Tribune reason to hope that,
in due course of time, affairs will adjust them
selves that the lowlands of Louisiana, unfit by ma
ture for the raising of cotton, will resume their nat
ural functions as sugar lands quite as soon as the
State regains respectable character politically
The letter referred to- says that small farmer in
the parish of Assumption determined to try his luck
with sugar-cane. He accordingly invested hun
dred dollars in seed-cane, which was planted and
cultivated the first year without materially interior
ing with the ordinary crops of corn and cotton. The
second year. some thirteen acres were planted with
the young cane. The farmer and two boys did all
the work. with the assistance, of course, of mules
and horses Besides attending to the cane, they cut
wood for boiling the juice and cared for the usual
arpents of corn. A cooperative arrangement was
made with a neighbor who owned sugar.house, by
which the crop was ground without any further cash
outlay The result was thirtyfou hogsheads of su.
gar and fifty barrels Of mOlasses, worth in the New

English Girls.

Nothing can be simpler than the young
English girls; amidst many beautiful things,
there are few so beautiful in the world; slim,
strong, self-assured, so fundamentally hon
est and loyal, so free from coquetry! A
man cannot imagine, if he has not seen it,
this freshness and innocence. Many of them
are flowers, expanded flowers; only morn
ing rose, with its transient and delicious
odor, with its petals dressed in dew, can give
us an idea of it, At the least motion of the
soul, the blood rushes to these girls cheeks,
necks, shoulders, in waves of purple; you

compilations, as the colors change in the
meadows; and their modesty is so virginia.
and sincere, that you are tempted to lower
your eyes for respect. And yet, natural
and frank as they are, they are not languish-
ing or dreamy; they love and endure exer-
else like their brothers; with flowing locks,
at six years they ride on horseback and take
long walks. Active life in this country
strengthens the phlegmatic temperament, and
the heart is kept more simple, whilst the
body grows healthier Tame.

Don't be too Sensitive.

Here is short article we find floating
around on the unknown seas of journalism
that many should ponder. People, liable to
quick emotions, with sense but not reason,
showing their nature in their countenance,
and often marring repose and friendship by
unwarranted Suspicion, are found in all our
cities. Let them read and profit by this:
"There are some people, yes, many peo-
pie, always looking out for sights. They
cannot carry on the daily intercourse of the
family without some offence is designated.
They are as touchy as hair triggers. If
they meet an acquaintance on the street who
happens to be pre-occupied with business,
they attribute his abstraction in some mode
personal to themselves, and take umbrage
accordingly. They lay on others the fact
of their irritabiity. A fit of indigestion
makes them see impertinence every one
they come in contact with. Innocent per-
sons, who never dreamed of giving offence,
are astonished to find some unfortunate word
or momentary taciturnity mistaken for an
insult. To say the least, the habit is unfor-
tunate. 1t is far wiser to take the more
charitable view of our fellow-being8, and not
suppose a slight is intended unless the neg
ect is open and direct. After all, too, life
takes its hues in great degree from the
color of our mind. If we are frank and
generous, the world treats us kindly. If,
on the contrary, we are suspicious, men learn
to be cold and cautious TO US. Let person
get the reputation of being touchy, and
everybody is under more or less conStraint,
and in this way the chance of an imaginary
offence is vastly increased"

Shade Trees.

No native tree we have is better adapted to the
purposes of shade and ornament than the sugar ma
ple It's foliage is full and dense, and its form is
that of a rounded cone of beautiful proportions. 1t
is also clean and free from insect enemies. 1t would
be well if, in planting shade trees on our streets,
there could be a suitable alienation of different
kinds some of rapid growth for temporary use, and
others for permanence. Some attention should also
be paid to variety Probably the very best trees for
general street planting the different varieties of
the maple. Nextin value we would place the elms.
For intermediate and temporary painting, the box
elder and the ash may be mentioned. Here and
there should be the bass wood, or linn, the tulip
tree, the horse chestnut, and the buckeye.

The Uses of Mineral Waters.

The advantages of "a course of mineral
waters" have been very variously estimated
by different authorities. The late Professor
Dunglison used to express his doubts wheth-
er, per Sc, they do any good at all, and he
was accustomed to attribute the improve
ment not seldom manifest in those who visit
such health resorts, to the Journey, change
of air, diet, rest, and the happy effects of
faith in a favOrite Spa.
Others, on the contrary, hold that no arti-
fetal combination of remedial agents can
equal in benefit these compounds made by
nature, and they say that the mere chemical
elements included in mineral waters do not
