Consider it your religious duty TO take

about Lucys gown that is not finished
and Tommy's jacket. and even his coat
his buttonless coat thrown into your lap,
as If to add the last ounce to the camel's

more important that your children in
their tender years should not lie left

Curious case of second Sight.

1t is historical fact that the Rev.
Joseph Buck minister, who died in Yer
mont in 1872. just before his death an
nounced that his distinguished son, the
Rev. j. S. Buckminster, of Boston.
was dead. 1t afterward turned out that
the son had breathed his last about the
moment his father made the announce
ment. The Eaton (Ohio) Telegraph, of
tie present week, tells the following in
cident, which may be taken as parallel
to that of the Buckminsters
On wednesday, morning last, at 4
o'clock, General John Quinn breathed
bis last But few minutes after that
Joseph Deem, who also died on the I4th,
aroused from his sleep and said to his
son John, who sat at his side, John.
Genera! Quinn is dead" To this
John said, Il reckon you are mistaken,
father; you have been dreaming; | guess
General Quinn is not dead. He is not
even sick, but goes down town regularly
every day for the mail" YES" said
Father Deem, Il know he is dead" and
he had scarcely finished speaking till
Benjamin Holman walked in, about 5
o'clock, as was his habit, and said to
them, General Quinn is dead - What
is strange about it is, that Father Deem
did not know of General Quinn's illness,
and, in all probability, had not heard his
name mentioned. Was it the freed spir-
it Of General Quinn, on its first mission
o 1t of the body, to carry the news to an
old dear friend also near the portals of
death? Or. was it wider vision, a SUI
pernatural sight given to Father Deem,
so that, as he stood on the confines OF
the unseen world, he took in the scope
OF his sight things unseen to the natur al
eye? Did he see with the freed spirit S

is full of interest to every inquiring

A NOBLE ACT.

Once | remembered among my friends
a lady who had known many Affections,
cares and heart griefs, and yet, whose
brightness of demeanor and cheerfuiness
were unfaeging, whose very presence
was sunbeam. This lady talked often
of her art When praised for any stink
ing course OF action, she would reply,
with touching simplicity; eyes. j learn
ed that from my art. =
As a child l oftened wondered what
this art could be; growing older, L set
myself to work to find out. 1t was not
the art of music, passionately fond as
she was of that deyine art, and or 50
lofty pedestal as she placed ii; for, be
ing somewhat AT home. within its magic
realms myself, / knew that she was not
sufficiently skilled therein to designate
1t as her own; nor was 1t the art OF pant
ing, nor vet OF sculpture.
Miss Margaret, l enquired one day,
s'what IS Your art p
A sweet smile fitted across her face,
as she touchingly asked for reply. ''And
have SO poorly exemplified it all these
years, that You need ask p
81 am sure, now, cried I, THAT il Is,
after all, what has often suggested itself
to my mind, The art of making the

.'You are right" she answered, well

SEASONAKLE DISHES.
I AT this season OF the year, people les
/ pecially those who have not been eating
/ correctly though the winter grow dainty.
/ They crave freshly-grown food and Oft
en-, especially in the cities they pay large
| prices for forced or imported fruits and
/ vegetables, and mock themselves with
| the fancy that they are better fed than
/ their less extravagant neighbors. But
/ their viands taste more of money than of
| health or of real good flavor Fruits
and vegetables that grow or ripen in I'M
natural conditions rarely have the rich,
luscious favor of those grown in the
abundance of sunshine and open air.
Those imported from the South are little
| better. The early tomatoes which we
get from there are lough and shrivellel,
probably because picked green, and ri
pened ON the way here They have very
little of the fine flavor of good glass
canned fruit of the previous summer
Green peas are worse still. Think of
this delicate comesiible, which should
not be picked more than six hours before
being served, waiting as many days or
more
A still more absured thing is the green
peas" which are sold in our market all
winter long yellow, Shiny things, which
people buy at ten cents quart, without
ever asking whence they came. They
are merely the dried green peas of the
grocery. soaked in water, which makes
three quarts out of one When dry,
they retail at the same price, ten cents
per quart, giving the huckster the very
handsome profit of at least two hundred
per cent. This the housekeeper should
save, and also secure a better dish, by
purchasing and cooking the dry article.
The wrinkled kinds are the best. Our
friends who have gardens would do well
to plant eno1 gh to supply themselves for
next winter and spring. They make
wholesome and agreeable dish. They
should not be soaked first, but put on at
once to cook, like beans, in about four
times their measure Of water, finishing
off even full The time required is
from two and half to four hours. When !
done they should be perfectly soft, and |
begin TO fall to pieces. They are richer |
and more nutritious than unripe peas, |
and taste but little like them. They con-
sort well with potatoes, mutton, rye-and- |
Indian bread, and stewed dried apples.
Pea pudding, or pea cheese, a very good |
accompaniment to bread and butter for |
supper, is made of split-peas quite |
different artiele), boiled gently to paste, !
in about four times their measure OF |

Eat of it sparingly, for it is nutritious,
and the meal is late. Stewed pie-plant

VOICES FROM THE SCAFFoLD Both
Drictr and Osborne, who were hung for
murder in Illinois last week, made speech
eS from the seaffold. in which they attri-
bated theif crimes to the use of liquor and
to consequent evil influences and the
keeping evil company. Their words are
potent warnings to young men who are
starting in the career of life, and selecting
their associations and habits. Perhaps
all drunkenness dose not lead to the seat
foid-but 1t leads to what is nearly or
quite as bad-the bunting of the moral
perceptions, mental and bodily imbecility
and the coming down to level with the
brutes- What ;eafiold is m re degrading

GETTING PIETY OF FRESH EGGS

Thirty years ago I was troubled just
as my neighbor now is. L fed my hens
plenty of corn and got but few eggs. [
reasoned upon the matter, and happened
to think that the constituent parts of
milk and the whites of eggs We're much
alike. Now, it has long been known to
milkmen that wheat middlings and bran
are about the best of any food to make
a COW to give milk; why not, then, the
best to make hens lay eggs? [ tried it,
and since then have had no trouble. Ny
mode of preparing the feed Is to mix
about five quarts of bran with one of
middlings. In the morning ( wet ND

Agriculture should be the most ennob-
ling of all vocations. 1t would be if
farmers cultivated the earth as teachers
develop the head, and preachers the
heart. Teachers and preachers aim to
train the thoughts and feelings to truth
and love, utility and happiness. Farm
ers should train the earth to produce
such crops and fruits, and such only, as
are conducive to the best health and
highest welfare of human beings. Then
would their calling be transformed from
one of degrading drudgery and interim
nable toll to one of refinement and luxll-
ry. The terminating seeds, the waving
grains, the luscious fruits, so suggestive
of the source of life and all blessing, and
the harvest season, so typical of a res
surrection and Immortality, ought to
Uuake the life OF an agriculturist con-
tinual pastime. And this would be the
farmers life, if farming was managed as
it should be-
Farmers have unequalled natural adj
vantages for health, strength, and lon
gevity. The statistics of disease and
the tables of mortality, however, are
aginst them. This is not due to their
vocation, but to their misuses of it. No
class, as a whole, is probably so utterly

sive-it compels the conclusion, that, as
a rule, the dietetic habits of farmers are
worse than those If any other class, who
