CHEESE AND BUTTER-Fromthe
condensed reports of 81 cheese
factories, ,itappears that 9 95-100
pounds of milk were required
to make one pound of cheese.
and the average price at which
the cheese sold was IL 73-100c
per pound. From this it will be
seen that dairymen receive, on
an average, after paying the
cost. of manufacture and fur
nishing, about &c per pound
for their cheese. From the
eight reports of butter factories,
a trifie over % pounds Of mill
were required for a pound OF
butter, and the average price
received per pound was 80

A Mothers influence.

The following gem, from one of
Mr.. Wendell Phillips speeches,
should be read in every family:
A mother On the green hills of
Vermont, was holding by the right
hand a son, sixteen years old, mad
with love of the sea. And as she
stood by the garden gate one
morning she said:
Edward, they tell me, for ]
never saw the ocean, that the
great temptation of seaman's life
is drink. Promise me, before you
quit your mothers hand, that you
will never drink LIQUOR
"And," said he, for he told the
story, 81 gave the promise, and /
went the globe over, to Calcutta
and the Mediterranean Sea, San
Francisco, and the Cape of Good
Hope, the North and South Poles;
l saw them all in forty years, and
l never saw a glass filled with
sparkling liquor that my mothers
form at the gate did not rise up
before my eyes. and to-day | an
innocent of the taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence
of the power of single word?
Yet that is not half. "For," still
continued he, yesterday there
came into my counting room man
OF forty years Old"
"Do you know me?"
"No."
"Well," said he, 81 was brought
drunk into your presence on ship
board; you were passenger; they
kicked me aside; you took me to
your birth and kept me there till
/ had slept off my intoxication;
you then asked me if | had a
mother; | said had never heard
a word from her lips; you told me
of yours at the garden gate, and
to-day am master Of one of the
finest ships in New York harbor,
and l came to ask you to come
to see me"
How far the little candle throws
its beam. The mothers words
on the green hills of Vermont |!
God be thanked for the mighty
power of a single word!

A SINGULAR INVITATION
Rev. Dir Cummings ruling pas
sion for music, and giving it for
the enjoyment of other people,
was strong even in his last days
and hours. To a friend to whom
he was tenderly attached, and
who was taking leave of him af-
ter he lay at the point of death,
he said, "Come to the funeral ;
the music will be splendid. >
We recall no instance of a deep
er sense of qualification of 9th

than is this invitation to attend
ones own funeral for the sake
of the music.

Fraudulent Pensions

The country has lately been in.
formed through the statement of
the Secretary of the Interior,
which is confirmed by the chief
of the Pension Bureau, that "ful
ly one. fourth of the pensions now
paid are frauds. p" The pension
list now foots up S31,OO0,OOO an
nually. So the item of frauds a.
mount to about S8,000,0O0 per
year. Many thousands now draw
pensions who never saw a battle.
and never were in an army. At
one time it was proposed to have
the pensions paid at the nearest
post Office, project that would
do much to prevent fraud; but as
the measure would dispose of a
large number of office-holders, it
did not meet the approval of our
lawmakers. .aH
Quite recently it was declared
ON the floor of Congress that one
batch of allowances, some three
hundred in number, obtained by
one agent, were all frauds.
