Gentle Words.

There is a magic power in gentle
words, the potency of which few ma
lures are SO icy. as wholly to resist.
Would you have your home a cheer
full hallowed spot, t,within which may
be found that happiness and peace
which the world denieth to its yota-
ries? Let no harsh words be uttered
within its walls. Speak gently to
the wearied husband, who, with anx-
ious brow, returns from the per-
plexities of his daily avocations,
and let him, in his turn speak gent
ly to the careworn woman and wife,
who, amid her never ending round
of duties, finds rest and encourage
ment in the sympathy of one she
loves. Speak gently to the wayward
child; a pleasant smile and word
of kindness will often restore good
humor and playfulness. Speak
gently to the dependent who light
ems your daily toll kind words in
sure respect and affection, while the
angry rebuke provokes impertinence
and dislike. Speak gently to the
aged; many are the trials through
which they have passed, and now in
a little while and they win be missed
from their accustomed place, the
spirit will have passed to its rest.
The remembrances of an unkind
word will then bring with it a bitter
sting. Speak gently to the erring
one; are we not all weak and liable to
err? Temptations of which we can
not judge may have surrounded him.
Harshness will drive him on the sin
ial way; gentleness may win him
back to virtue.

Compost Heaps.

1t is often recommended that
when manure is thrown into heaps
in the field, it should be. covered
with layer of earth to prevent the
escape of the ammonia. The ex-
periments of DR.. Voelcker, at the
royal Agricultural College at Ciren-
cester, IN England, have establish
ed the fact that the evaporation, of
ammonia from large heaps Of ma
nure goes on but slightly; for the
reason that during the decomposi
ton of the manure certain organic
acids are formed at the same time
the ammonia is evolved, and then
Immediately unite with the ammonia
forming non-volatile compounds.
There is an active escape of ammo
mis- from the interior of large heaps,
where the heat is too great for the
chemical changes above referred to;
but as it approaches the exterior
part of the heap, where the heat is
very much less, the ammonia is
completely taken up by the organic
acids and retained. There will be 8
trifing escape of ammonia while
there is sufficient moisture to re
tain it, for water absorbs and retains
many hundred times its bulk of am
monia gas at ordinary temperatures
These non-volatile compounds, from
being highly soluble in water, are Ii.
able to be washed away at every rain
storm, giving the well known color to
the draining of manure heaps.

IA Terrible Unrest. >

A student in one of our public
schools, in an evening prayermeet
ing recently, used these. strong and
almost thrilling words: 81 pray that
God will give me terrible unrest
in behalfof my inpenitent and dy-
ing fellowmenr' i
The universal fault of the Church
is its lethargy over those who are
perishing in sin. A reasonable
prosperity externally, a moderate
growth, or firm holding of the
Church's own, satisfies the great
masses Of Christian people, and they
sleep over the state of those who
are going down speedily to death
The mission of the Church is ag
gressive. 1t is to reach out after
the lost. 1t is to put forth special
effort for their salvation. Nay more
it is to feel the solicitude of an
intense anxiety for their eternal
safety. IISEiS51l. ID AZ =
When a friend is burning with
fever, and the crisis is just at hand
when great sorrow swings in equi
poise, and breath may turn the
scale; when great results are hang
ing on thread, there is more than
common interest; there is an aw,
full suspense which almost checks
the beating of the heart, and bids
the pulses stand still. What more
momentuous issues hang on the
salvation of human soul.
o for a terrible unrest" which
shall wake the Church's torpor and
send it forth with the impulse Of
love to Christ, and love to men, to
labor for souls.-Conq. d. Rec.

Butter-Makine

on , - FFn - = q
Many producers of butter make a
grave mistake which deprives them
of large amount of clean cash, by
supposing the products of their
dairy will return them Just as much
profit when the butter is made in
such a.prefunctory manner, that it
resembles a cross between mutton
tatlow and lard, rather than the gilt
edged butter. Thousands of tubs
and firkins of butter strong enough
to perambulate the city, are sold at
ten or fifteen cents per pound;
whereas by exercising a little care
and neatness, and asisting the prop
er Quantity of salt, every pound
would have broaght thirty or thirty
five cents. The loss has to be sus-
tanned by the, producers. Thousands
of hard-working females who grind
out their dimes by irksome drudg-
cry, could have two or three dollars
for every hours service when max
ling butter by simply spendiDga a few
minutes more than they have hith-
erto done in malraging their milk,
cream and butter with extra care.
1t is the scrupulous neatness in
washing milk pals and pans, in the
management of the cream,in churn-
ing and packing butter, that secures
an article that will pass for prime,
gilt-edged, which always commands
a remunerative' price, whether it il
here or on the prairies of Kansas.

Remedies for Stagnant Wells

The water in wells frequently be-
comes foul from various causes,
sometimes from the soaking into
them of surface water from rich
land, or land where there is a large
amount of vegetable or animal mold
sometimes from there being too
large an amount of water in the
well, which. if not drawn off stag
mates and becomes offensive. A
body of water remaining undlsturb-
ed for a few weeks is liable to be-
come foul, which, if occasionally
agitated would remain good. II
stagnant water becomes unpalatable
it may be rendered drinkable by
pouring from one vessel into anoth-
er thee or four times, letting it fall
two or three feet. By so doing if
comes in contact with the oxygen
of the air which purifies it. An
other method of purifying water is
to filter it through sand or charcoal
Ahogshead two-thirds full of sand,
lean.be set near the well-the water
pumped into il hole made in the
bottom, covered with sponge, and
the water will percolate through
clear and be purified. A chain
pump or a bucket is the best for a
well, as it agitates the water every
time it is used. I have remedied
1.-THE trouble Westerner" speaks ol
by filling up the well with pure
sand, so there will be but three OIL
four feet of water in depth, or by
pulverizing a bushel of charcoal,pu
ting it in coarse bag and suspend
ing it beneath the water in the well
causing it to sink by putting stone
| in the bag. Another cause for bat
water is, when a well is sunk into
blue or marine clay; the decompos
ed shells in the clay affect the watel
badly, and give it the taste of sui
phur or bilge water. Probably, b,
adopting some of the above men
toned methods "Westerner" car

A Teachers Opportunity.


A teacher now in the! First Pres

years ago the following interesting
experience:
A child came into her class for 6
Sabbath, whose father was a we'll.
known infidel. He had carefully
kept her from all religious reading
and instruction, but had at length
yielded TO her request to go fol
once to the Sundays school. The
teacher resolved to make the mosl
OF the one opportunity, and laying
aside,the usuallessons, went over the
life of Jesus. The child listened
more eagerly than to a romance
And when, at the close, the teacher
asked if people ought not to, love
such Saviour as that, the little pn
pill answered, 'fYes;; they all woIid
if they knew of it; and why don't
you tell everybody of it?"
Full OF the narrative, which from
the moment of hearing it, seemed
to have won her to an implicit faith
she went home to tell her father
and friends of what she had heard.

We have little story for boys and
q moral to it. Little Johnny Moore
away out in Monloe, Michigan
went to a picnic last week, and, like
foolish little boy that he was, tried
to smoke a cigar. 1t made him
sick, and he threw himself on the
wet grass and lay there long time.
The result was he had co3gestive
ehills and died. 1t is a sad story
and the moral is-that you can &C
to picnics if your parents are will
ing, but you had better not try te
smoke cigars and by all means don't
lie on the wet grass.
The story of the human race is
the story OF Gods temple. Unbe
lieving souls are the rubbish to be
removed at the Judgment day. Ask
yourself: "Am L on that foundation
or am / of the rubbish?' Do yor
love Christ? Then are you in the
temple. The architect has keen eyes
and goes around looking to see thai
ali the lives of the temple are erect
that nothing may give away.-H

Before you ask a favor of any
man just consider three things
