Controlling influence.

In the life of every individual
there are certain controlling infu-
ences which call out what there is
in him and shape his character. II
depends upon the quality of a mans
metal whether he gets melted into
eagles ordimes. Ones "second
birth" depends much upon his first.
The controlling tendencies of his
, religious nature may have come
down to him through generations OF
ancestors. A man may inherit his
grandfather's opinions as well as
his property. The mass of Christ
aims are conformed 10 the creeds
under which they were born. All
are more or less moulded by the
pressure of surrounding opinion,
and every one is, in a degree, bound
by the prevailing sentiments he
helps to make. If we could trace
back and understand the determin-
ing forces which have been chisel-
ing away at mans nature since his
birth. we should not SO much won
der at his strange notions and pecu-
liar views. In this,as in everything
else, the scope wherein person
may exercise choice, is limited.
There are many formative influences
beyond our control, and the chief
and crowning deduction to be drawn
from a recognition of these truths
is that grandest and chiefest of the
Christian virtues, charity-charity
for the opinions of others however
they may differ from their own.

A Good Farmer.

p One of our very best and most
accurate farmers informs us that
when boy,as soon as he had learn
ed bookkeeping at school, his father
employed him to keep the farm ac-
counts-the cost of labor, the
amount of work expended on each
field, time of performing operations,
plowing, sowing, cultivating and
harvesting, amount of crops, prices
at which sales were made, DC. He
soon became much interested in
farm operations, and thoroughly ac-
quainted with the details Of work,
in a more complete manner than he
ever could have been in any other
way, and was early placed on the
track of farming regularly and sys-
tematically. Let other farmers fol-
low this example with their sons,
and we shall have less of random,
hop skip husbandry, and more of
order and success.

Keeping Roads in Repair.

The best system of mending the
highway is that which mends soon
est. The old method of working
the roads annually by the tax-pay-
ers in person has gone out of use
in many places. The work was not
well done, although the taxpayers
had to use the roads they mended.
The highways need constant super
vision by one man in each town
who understands the business, and
who can remedy a defect as soon as
it makes its appearance. A deep
rut is made deeper by every loaded
team that passes over the road, and
where the system of annual repairs
prevails the highways are almost
impossible in the early spring. We
want the same thorough system of
supervision that prevails on our rail-
roads transferred to the highway.
This has been adopted in some
towns in Massachusetts,, and is found
to be much better economy and to
give them much better roads. A
load of gravel in season applied to
the ruts and gullies saves the neces-
sity of two loads applied at the end
of the year. Travel on a well l-made
road does far less injury than the
rains and frosts. If the inequalities
are Immediately remedied, travel
rather helps than hinders road-mak-
ing. Every one prefers the well
beaten track to a new-made road. 1t
is quite possible to distribute the
repairs so evenly through the year
that the road-bed may be always in
good condition. The. loss to the
farming community from bad roads
is enormous. It is one of the heav-
lest taxes we have to pay. 1t is
laid on every article that goes from
farm to market, and in many cases
the tax is SO heavy that it swallows
all the profits. Good roads lessen
the cost Of production; they would
cheaper the grocer's bill, the miller's
bill, and especially the cost of fertil-
izers, s,which are the secret of econom-
ical farming in the older States.
Work the roads to-day, and save
money.

Making Baby Rude

The baby happened once in 8
pretty little caprice to slap ipapa's
face instead of kissing him when
he stopped for his greeting. Paps
laughed, mamma laughed, aunties
laughed, and baby thought she had
hit a happy idea. After that she
would slap papa instead of kissing
him. Baby could at any time win
a round of laughter and applause
by visiting an expectant cheek with
a blow for kiss. She was such a
sweet plaything! But there came a
time when she ceased to be a play
thing. What had been only arch
and 'cute" became downright rude.
II she mortified her parents by her
orusqpe,pert manners as a girl, it
was in doing precisely what they
mad taught her to do when she was
a little baby.-Nlnstrated Christ

The Listner.

Two city boys lost their way in
the woods, and late at night they
took shelter in a solitary inn.
About midnight they awoke, and,
sitting up in bed, heard some one
talking in the next room.
The boys put their ears to the
wainscot, and distinctly heard q
voice say:
"Wife, get the big kettle ready
tomorrow, for / mean to kill our
young rogues out of the town."
The poor boys shuddered:
"Oh, dear, this inn-keeper is a
cannibalr' they whispered softly to
each ether. "What shall we dor
After moments thought they got
out of bed and sprang ont of the
window, hoping to escape that way.
But one of them hurt his foot so
badly in jumping that he could 60
no further; and besides, the great
door of the yard was locked. So
they crept into the pig-sty with the
little pigs, and lay there trembling
till morning.
In the morning came the inn
keeper. He opened the sty-door,
sharpened knife and called out,
"Now you little rascals, out with
you, your last hour is come.
Both boys set up cry of horror;
and begged on their knees to be
spared.
The man was surprised to find
them in the pig-sty, and asked them
why they thought him a murderer.
Because we heard you say in
the night that you would kill US in
the morning"
Then the inn-keeper laughed and
said, "Oh, you silly boys! I never
meant you. / was talking of my
little pigs, whom, in joke, 1 always
call my little rogues out of the town,
because 1 bought them in the town.
But SO it always is with listeners;

Charcoal for Stock.

Farmers who raise stock should
give them plenty of charcoal to eat,
and furnish them freely with salt.
Both improve cattle and keep them
in condition. Salt acts healthily on
the blood; charcoal strengthens and
heats the mucous membrane throuh-
OUT the alimentary canal, and in
creases the power of the digestive
organs, healing any unhealthy con
dition existing there. The best
plan is to knead the salt and char
coal together with clay, and sun-dry
the mass, as previously recommend
ed by us, and then place it where
the stock can have free access to it.
