WANTED.-Men to fill good situations,
with good pay and chance for promo
ton; apply anywhere-for there is work
for all who care to aDork. Takers
whose tongue may wag and twaddle,
every time an ear can be captured for
its hearing, are plenty enough are in
fact, drug in the worlds market. But
workers, who have mans arm and heart
to give, are wanted all over the world to
help build the temple of humanity.
When we see how many pirate, and vo-
ciferate for reform, or for principle,
when to do so, only costs little breath;
and how few will do, dare, endure,
plucky, persistent, unconquerable; We
become disguised with the hollowness
we see in these tinkling COW bells of re-
form, whose noise is valuable only as
telling where they are, so that we may
avoid them.
This world is teeming with life, and
checked with sin; to affect it we must
do something; we must give money,
brain, time, toll F.; and who of us are do
ing this?
Christ bore the cross in the presence
of multitude until it crushed him, and
there was none to help. So now, few
are staggering under load for the COM
mon good, and there are few to help,
but many to shout worldly encourage

MY HICKORY FIRE.

oh helpless body of hickory tree
What do | burn, in burning thee?
Summers of sun, winters of snow,
Springs full of sap's rcsstless flow;
All past years joys Of garnished fruits:
All this years purposed buds and shoots;
Secrets of fields of upper air,
Secrets which stars and planets share;
Light Of such smiles as broad skies fling;
Sound of such tunes as wild winds sing;
Voices which told where gay birds dwelt,
Voices which told where lovers knelt-
Oh, strong white body of hickory tree,
How dare burn all these, in theeo
But too bring as to pyre,
Sweet things to feed thy funeral fire;
Memories walked by thy deep spell,
Faces of fears and hopes which fell;
Faces of darlings long since dead
Smiles that they smiled and words they SAID;
Like living shapes they come and go.
Lit by mountain flames red glow.
But sacredest of all, o tree,
Thou hast the hour my love gave me,
Only my rhythmic silence stirred
While his low-whispered tones / heard
By thy last CLEAN offlickering light
/ saw his cheek turn red from white;
o cold gray ashes, side by side
With yours, that hours sweet pulses died!
But thou, brave tree, how do know
That through these fires thou dost not 90
As in old days the martyrs went
Ih10ugh IRE winch was sacrament?
How do | know thou dost not wait
In longing for thy next estate p
Estate of higher, nobler place,
Whose shapes no man can use or trace,
How do l know. if / could reach
The secret meaning of thy speech,
But thy song of praise should hear.
Ringing triumphant, loud and clear
The waiting angels could discern,
And tokens of thy Heaven learn?
Oh, glad freed soul of hickory tree,
Wherever thine eternity,
Bear thou with thee that hours dear name,
Made pure, like thee, by rites or flannel

SAT JESUS FEET.''

Oft am very weary,
Beneath sins load groan,
and life seems dark and dreary
Before the guilty one;
But my troubles disappear,
And hear n voice of cheer,
As sit confiding here
AT JESUS FEET.
oft am very lonely.
Unknown, apart roam;
A weary exile only,
! sigh and long for home.
But the lonely feeling fees,
Like cloud before the breeze,
AS bend adoring knees
AT JESUS FEET.
of my heart feel aching,
With nameless sorrows panied,
Each tender heart-string breaking
With anguish unexplained:
But the grief which no one knows,
Like vision quickly goes,
AS my spirit lowly bows
AT JESUS FEET.
oft am nigh despairing,
As round the world / view
And see the bad-how daringl
The good-how faint and few!
But my faith again grows strong,
Aud takes up hopeful song,
As think Of heavens throng
AT JESUS FEET.
oft am filed with sorrow,
And weep beside the grave,
Which may, perchance, tomorrow
My nearest, dearest crave:
But my sorrows all subside,
Like dark and threat'ning tide,
As my little griefs hide
AT JESUS FEET.
Then let me, Jesus ever
These blessed feet embrace,
And let me wander never
From this sweet resting-place:
Let no hungry beast of prey,
Let no storms by night or day,
Scare my trustful soul away
FROM JESUS FEET.

FIRE PROOF WASH FOR RooFs, &c.
The New England Farmer gives direc-
lions for making cheap and incombus-
tible wash for the roofs and walls of
buildings. Slack lime in close box to
prevent the escape of steam, and when
Stacked pass it through a sieve. To
every six quarts of this lime add one
quart CT rock or Turks Island salt, and
one gallon of water. After this boil
and skim clean. To every five gallons
of this add by slow degrees three-fourths
of a pound of potash, and four quarts of
fine sand If desirable, coloring matter
can be added. Apply with a common
paint or whitewash brush. A CORES
pendent of the above journal who has
used this wash, gives the following rec
ommendation of its merits.
at looks better than paint, and as
durable as slate. 1t will stop small
leaks in the roof, prevent moss growing
over and rotting the wood, and render it
incombustible from the sparks falling
on it. When applied to brick work it
renders the bricks utterly impervious to
rain or wet, and endures a longer time
than any paint [ ever used. The ex.
pense is a mere trihe, in fact, scarcely
deserving of mention.

HOW TO MAKE A HOT BED.

1t is not to late in many of our North
ern States, for making hot beds. and
those who have gardens will find them
great advantage in starting early garden
vegetables. Where there is room for
large bed, lettuce, radishes, and other
vegetables may be raised without trans
planting. The following directions are
from the Massachusetts Ploughman:
''The size of the hot bed will depend
on the design, whether simply for fami-
ly use, or for market. The frames are
commonly made of two-inch plank franz
ed together at the ends in such way
as to be easily taken apart and stored
many simply nail them to cedar posts
set at the four corners. A common sized
hot bed for domestic uses would be say
ten or twelve feet long and four feet
wide. The posts ought to be three or
four inches square.
The frame of course has no bottom.
The location ought to be on dry land
with southern aspect. Let the frame
be about eight inches high and the north
side from eight to twenty inches, accord
ing to the slope or inclination of the
ground. The top of the frame should
have slope of eight or ten inches to
let in the heat of tn e sun and to shed
rain.
The best material for a hot bed is
fresh horse dung from the stable One
third its bulk may be sawdust, tan bark,
fresh leaves or straw. 1t may be put in
now, or from the twentieth of March to
the first of April. Mix the material
together and put in the depth of two or
three feet, and little wider, say half
foot wider on each side than the frame
to be placed over it. Then put on the
frame, and cover the material four or
five inches deep with rich and mellow
earth, the material being first settle /
down with a fork. The frame may be
covered with glass OF with strong oiled
muslin on laths so that they can be
rolled up. Such covers admit the light
and shed off the rain, and will be warm
enough except on extremely cold nights,
when some straw can be thrown over
them. If glass is used, small panes,
say 6x6, are better than larger ones, as
they are liable to break
After the frame is put upon the heap
of manure, let it stand few days until
the most violent heat has passed over
This fermentation may take place be-
fore the soil is put on. After a few
days the seed may be sown, say about
six weeks before the ordinary time for
transplanting in the garden or open
ground. Examine the bed carefully
every day and if the heat is getting ex.
cessive run the crow-bar down into the
manure here and there to let the steam
escape. The sashes may be raised a
little also. IF the soil becomes too dry
use little warm water, and if tho heat
falls off, pile up little fresh manure
on the sides of the hot bed Mating OF
straw may be used to throw over The
beds on cold nights.
Tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, potatoes
and many other vegetables may be start
ed in this way with very little labor
and so may be had on the table earle
than otherwise

tells this: A certain gentleman, who
was involved in domestic troubles, met
with a genuine ''Job's comforter" the

who was a widower, he related his troub-

be broken up, as his wife had commenced
suit against him for the sum of three

The DECEIT OF RIoHEs.-If you have
been accustomed to feel that there is no
great peril connected with the amassing
of riches, then the deceit has begun to
work in you. There is peril in it. He
who has begun to accumulate money
ought, morning and evening, to humble
himself before God, and say: 'Search
me, o God try me, and see if there be
any evil way in me. ;" You need to lean
upon the promise of God: "Lo, I will
be with you to the end" If you walk
in a consecrated way if you have con-
secrated your heart to God; if you have
lifted your right hand and consecrated
your wealth to God if you feel in your
very soul, 81 am the steward of God +;
this is not mine; it is lent to me to be
improved upon for the good ofmy fellow
men and for the glory Of my Lord" If
God has given you this spirit, then all
hail You are doing a noble work,
and are walking in noble way, and
not far before you is the crown and city
of refuge. But if you have no consecra-
ton, no moral purpose, no daily prayer
no fear, no outlooking, no watching; il
you are going along that way in which
thousands have persisted, without con
science and without guard, woe be te
you !-Beecher

CUT FooD FOR SHEEP.

The editor of the National Live Stock
Journal has been making some expert
ments in relation to cut food for sheep,
and says:
Some sheep farmers have discouraged
cutting fodder for sheep. asserting that
the teeth of these animals are equal to
Burr milestone, ard that they will eat
and grind it as well without cutting.
But we know these to be quite random
assertions, ignoring the most common
facts and habits Of sheep. 1t is we'll
known that the sheep, of all our domes-
tic animals, most relish fine fodder
Sheep take infinite pains to select the
finest parts of the grasses-the heads,
leaves and fine branches of clover, leav-
ing the main stalk in their racks I'M
touched while cattle and horses will.
eat all alike, if of good quality.
We remember that noted farmer in
Central New York, made very strong
statement at the State Fair in 1864,
about cutting for sheep as a waste of
time and observing that they did not eat
it as we'll after as before cutting. This
led us to experiment to test the correct
ness of his statement. We took fifty
pounds Of early cut and nicely cured
timothy hay and fed it to sixty thrifty.
common sized, medium wooded sheep, in
clean racks. After giving them longer
than the usual time to eat it, we found
twelve pounds of the fragments left.
The next day fifty pounds of the same
hay, cut short, was fed to them, and
after some length of time for eating,
gathered up everything in the racks,
found only two pounds, and this COM
posed of the longest bits of hay.
We made also comparative expert
ment with clover hay, corn stalks and
straw, and found the saving as great in
proportion. In the case of corn stalks,
they would eat nearly all of them after
cutting one-eighth of an inch long, the
butts being cut into thin shavings, the
tough hard rind broken into shreds !;
while in the uncut state, they would
only eat the leaves, tassels and fine
parts, leaving the stalk almost entire.
We tried with cut food of various
lengths, and found that the shorter it
was cut the cleaner they would eat it.
Invariably the longest straws were left.
! Sheep waste more feed than any other Of
our domestic animals. and we found,
practically, that no other animal is ben
Gifted so much by cutting its fodder as
the sheep The principal saving in cut.
ting is that it is all eaten and therefore
the animal appears to eat less. 1t is an
excellent plan to mix hay and straw to-
gether after cutting, or they may be
mixed before cutting. In this way sheer
will eat nearly all the straw, and keer
in good condition.
By cutting, food of different qualitie:
may be mixed together and thus save all
1t is then in a convenient form for mix
ing in bran, middlings or meal. Sheer
may be wintered in fine condition OF
straw cut and mixed with small por
ton of bran or meal. Two quarts O
bran, or one of meal to the bushel @
straw, we have found to keep sheep anC
other stock in good condition. We have
cut the fodder for all our animals for many
years and know that it pays, but for NJ
animal does it pay as we'll as for sheep

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
BAPTIST.

The Baptist anniversaries will be held

fourth week of May in the following Or

Wednesday, May 22d; Home Mission
Society, Thursday, May 23d. The
churches of New York, while inviting
the societies, will provide free entertain
ment only for the pastor and one other
representative of each church.
Upon this subject of entertainment of
representatives, the New York Pastor
Association have adopted the following
resolution:
"WhereaS, The attendance at the an
nual meetings of our UNCONVENTIONAL be-
nevolent societies has become so nu-
merous that it is difficult to find places
for their entertainment therefore,
'tReSoLUed, That we recommend to the
several societies to alter their constitu-
ton so as to provide either for more
limited representation at their annual
meetings or to hold their meetings trien.

The Baptists are earnestly laboring to
secure funds to build church in Rome
: The occasion is more urgent, says the
Examiner and Chronicle, from the fact
that the congregation have been three
times compelled to leave rooms they had
hired, the proprietors being unwilling t.
let them for preaching, or intimidatec
by the Jesuits.

London Missionary Society is to be with
