WHAT TO DO WHEN IN TROUBLE.

Don't try to quench your sorrow in run, OF
narcotics. Ifyou begin this, you must keep
right on with it, till it leads you to ruin or il
you try to pause, you must add physical pain
and the consciousness of degradation to the
sorrow you seek to escape. Of all wretched
men, his condition is the most pitiful who,
having sought to drown his grief in drink,
ayakes from his debauch with shattered
nerves, aching head and: depressed mind, to
face the same trouble again. That which
was at first painful to contemplate WILL, after
drink, seem unbearable. Ten to one the fatal
drink will he again and again sought, till its
victim sinks a hopeless, pitiful wreck.
Work is your true remedy. If misfortune
hits you hard, hit you something else hard
pitch into something with q will. There's
nothing like good, solid, absorbing, exllapsting
work to cure trouble. If you have met with
losses, YOU don't want to lie awake thinking
about theetn. You want sweet, calm 'souifd
sleep, and to eat your dinner with appetite.
But you can't unless you work. If you say
you don't feel like work, and go loa6ng all
day totell Dick and Harry the story Of. your
woes, you'll lie awake and keep your wife
awake by your tossing, spoil her temper and
your own Breakfast the next morning, and be.
gin tomorrow feeling ten times worse than
you do to-day. i:' - ''"... Il. ':.i ,.''' ''..
There are some great troubles that only
time can heal, andH perhaps some that can
neyerbe healed at all but all eau be helped
blythe great panacea work. Try.it you who
are afflicted. 1t is not patent medicine 1t
has proved its efficacy since first Adam and
Eve left behind them with weeping their
beautiful Eden. It is an oficinal remedy.

He almost wanted to take an acquaintance
out of church for not rising when it was sung.
"There was no music in mans soul who
could sit still with that tune, to those words.
The very first sentence, eve praise thee, 0
God we acknowledge thee to be the Lord,
lifted him eff his feet. There was good enough
in that one thing, and in the GLORIA IN Ez-
celsis' to keep the Episcopal church from
sinking if she lost every thing else."
Mr.. Wright was enthusiastic, but the sub
iect warranted it, Services were held in the
chapel Christmas morning, and Mr.. Wright
declared, "though Mr.. Ellison always preach
ed Bible doctrine, he had given as good SER
mon as he ever heard at Methodist camp
meeting.
Christmas dinners are generally family ones
and poor, indeed, is the family, who does not
try, on that day of blessed associations, to
have something little nice and better than
usual.
The one at Mr.. Elliott's was grand affair
and received ample justice, from the head OF
the house down to the black boy, who helped

No one knew how many steps Grace had
taken in preparing the tables and assisting
about the dessert, except her mother; and
Madame De Victor, the aunt, who, without
being in the way, or mcddling, contrived to do
many little things which enhanced the beauty
of the table decorations or added to the
pleasure of some one.
She was CHEEKY, sensible woman, very
easy and lady-like in her manners, which were
the perfection of good breeding; but her Eng
lish was slightly broken-just enough to give
charming brogue to her pronunciation and
makeher little silent among strangers. Her
French was faultless, and she always spoke to
Georgia's children in that tongue. 1t was de-
lightful to hear the little prattlers talk glibly
in French to their aunt and each other, and
to their mother and her relatives in English
Leonore spoke one language as we'll as the
other, but Louis and Louise still found the
soft tongue of their father, easiest for their
use. .....,
awe shall have German nurse, to talk
with them and teach the language as soon as
we can find a suitable one" said Georgia
"and then they will speak it more correctly
than if we wait till they are grown" Ifprac
tice and precept could make hildren perfectly
amiable, wise and good, Georgia's would have
no excuse for any shortcomings in after years
and she had this to encourage her in her ef
forts, "Train up child in the way he should
60, and when he is old he will not depart from
it."

ADuLrERAT1oN OF LARD.-A writer in
the Canadian Pharmaceutical Journal says
that he lately obtained q quantity of lard from
a respectable pork dealer. 1t was beautiful
ly white; indeed, he had never seen an article
that looked better. His first trial Of it was in
preparing ointment of nitrate of mercury.
The color, when the mercurial solution was
added, was the reverse of citrine; indeed de-
cidedly saturnine, developing in a, short time
to full slate color. Surprised at this unpre-
cedented result, the usual precautions having
been taken as to temperature, &C., the lard
was suspected, and, on examination, was found
to contain large proportion Of lime. Some
time after being in conversation with lard
renderer, hint was dropped as to the rela-
ton of lime to color, when the information
was conGdentially impaired that q common
practice among lard dealers was to mix from
two" to five per cent. of milk Of lime with mel
ted lard. A saponaceous compound is formed,
which is not only pearly white, but will ALLOW
of the stirring in, during cooling, Of twenty

NUrR1r1vE VALUE OF M1LK.-A chemist
ofProvidence, R. l., states that milk is more
nutritious than meat. The nutritive value OF
milk, as compared with other kinds Of animal
food, is not generally appreciated. There Is
less difference between the economical value
of milk and beefsteak Cor eggs or fish) than Is
commonly supposed. The quantity Of water
in good quality of milk is eighty-six per
cent, in round steak seventy-fve per cent, in
fatter beefsixty per cent, in eggs about sixty
eight per cent. From several analysis made
last winter, estimated sirloin steak (reckon-
ing loss from bone,) at thirty-6ve cents
pound, as dear as milk at twenty-four cents
quart; round steak, at twenty cents pound,
as milk at fourteen cents quart; eggs at
thirty cents dozen, as dear as milk at twenty
cents a quart. Many laborers, who pay sew
enteen cents for corned beef, would consider
themselves hardly able to pay ten cents for
milk, when, in fact, they could as we'll afford
to pay fifteen cents. @ al. =,
Milk is most wholesome and economical
food for either the rich or poor. 1t ought to
be more largely used. Kthe money expended
for veal and pork were expended fhr milk, 1
doubt not it would be an advantage both to
the stomach and pocket, especially during the
warm season. Relatively speaking; then,
milk at ten cents, ,or even twelve cents
quart, is the cheapest animal food that can be
used. Whether farmers can afford to produce
it cheaper ia matter for them to decide. 1t
is very probable that were they to ask twelve
cents large number Of poor people would re,
frain from its use from mistaken NOTIONS OF
economy, Notwithstanding they are excessive
meat eaters, .... Do 90,

BRAIN Sr1MULANTs. s.-Human beings are
the only ones that crave and contract love
for stimulants It is hardly possible to make
any animal take spirits of any kind. If com.
peiled to do so, morbid appetite for it is not
developed as ID man. However thirsty, they
will resist the finest artificial drinks. Water
is the only fluid which they demand, and
fond as some of them may be Of milk, water is
with them positive necessity. Brain excite
ment-something that quickens the nervous
system-has always been found with, every
race of people, If they have no ingenuity in
any wa that betters their condition physical
ly, they aave way ofexhilarating themselves:
They ferment the juice Of fruits, the sap OF
plants, make teas of an intoxicating quality,
or or lastly, like the Tartars on the borders Of
the Caspian Sea, who have no vegetables that
meet the morbid demand, make themselves
mere savages by acidi6ed mares milk. 1t
is a marvel in the constitution Of humanity
that this propensity for excitement by artifi-
cial means should be 80 general all over the
world. Civilization does not overcome it;
laws only hold it slightly in check; moral
suasion is feeble instrumentality, and the
question mooted is-whatis the next moveto be.

The sleep of all, that night, was sweet ane

Mr.. Wright and his children had assisted
the Elliottsin in trimming the chapel for Christ
mas, and it was beautiful. The old neighbors
who had come back to their low-country
homes, said Mr.. Wright was forgetting hi
own church but he would not acknowledge
that While he had no minister of his own
he was going to hear any other he could, es
pecially if he was as good man and fine 6

Mr.. Ellison had regretted having no organ
in his church, from the time it was built, five
years before; and when he found, some time
in the summer, he could realize few thousand
dollars by the sale of some ofhis land, he bad

bought one of those cabinet, or small church
organs, which, oflate, have been brought tc
such perfection.
