Home Influence.

1.-THE father chiefly talks "mon-
ey, money!" at home, he general
ly rears a family in the worship
of the almighty dollar. If he
talks mainly horses, games and
races, he breeds a batch of sport
men. If fashion is the family al
tar, then the children are offered
up as victims upon that alter. If
a man makes his own fireside at
tractive, he may reasonably hope
to anchor his own children around
it. My neighbor Q-makes
himself the constant evening CON-
panion of his boys. The result is
that his boys are never found in
bad places. Bat if a father hears
the clock strike eleven in club
house or the playhouse he need
not be surprised if the boys hear
it strike twelve in the gaming
room or drinking-saloon. If he
puts the bottle on his own table
he need not wander ifa drunken
son staggers in by and by, at his
front door. When the best friend
that childhood and youth ought
have. becomes their foe, the home
becomes the "starting-post," for
moral fuin.-Rev. DR.. Cuyler.

Hens That Eat eggs.


The best way to. break hens o
egg eating is to break their neck,
and re-stock with birds that have
not acquired the habit.
Fowls that are expert in egg
eating first attack the egg with
their bill. If it is a thin shell, &
few strokes will break it, and the
rest is an easy job. If, however
the shell is thick one, they gen
orally fail to break it with their
beak, then they begin to scratch
in the nest, and, with their feet
throw the egg against. the hard
sides of the box until it is broken
First of l,make hens lay hard
'shelled eggs, so hard that they
cannot be readily broken by q
hens bill. This can be done by
feeding freely with Stacked lime,
ground or broken bones, oyster
shells, etc.
To preyont breaking against
the sides of the box, the nest
should be high and lined upon the
sides with cushions filled with
hay or other soft material. Their
only chance then is that they
may throw two eggs forcibly
against each other. To prevent
this rob them of the nest egg,and
gather the eggs several times a
day. 1t is a good plan to leave a
few China eggs near the nest for
them to work at,which will make
their bills so sore that they will
strike the real eggs with less force.

Stewed Beefstake..

Slice some onions and fry
brown. Pound the meat with a
hammer, fry it over a hot fire till
it browns little, turning each
piece as soon as it has been a few
seconds in the pan, to keep in the
juice. Put it into any kind Of
saucepan that can be tightly COW

pour water into the frying pan,
and put this brown liquor, with
the fried onions, to the beet. Let
it simmer slowly for an hour, or
less if the beef be tender. Other
seasoning may be added, accord
ing to taste, or to vary the dish,
such as tomatoes fresh or in ketch-
up, sage and summer savory, or a
grated carrot. Young green 1on-
ions, such as must be thinned out
are good cut up in it, pepper and
salt, as a matter OF course.

Choosing Matching Eggs.I.

Eggs for Matching should be
chosen of the fair average size
usuallylaid by the hen they are
from; any unusually large ol
small be rejected. Some hens
lay immensely large eggs, and
others small ones. A fat hen
will lay small eggs, (which can on
ly produce small and weakly
chickens. Absolute size in eggs
is, therefore, of but little impor-
tance. Round, short eggs are
usually the best :, to select,
very long gs,especially if much
pointed at the small end, almost
always breed birds with some
awkwardness in style of carriage
Neither should rough shelled
eggs be chosen, they unusually
show some arrangement of the
organs and are often sterile
Smooth eggs alone are proper for
Matching. 1t is a farce to sup.
pose that the sex of a bird can be
determined by the shape of the
egg

Doing Good to Enemies.

The horse of a pious man living
in Massachusetts, happening to
stray into the road, a neighbor OF
the man who owned the horse
put him into the pound. Meet
ing the owner soon afterward, he
told him Sfhat he had done, and
if l catch him in the road again,
said he, I'll do it again.
"Neighbor; replied the other,
not long since, l looked out ofmy
window in the night, and saw
your cattle in my meadow and |
drove them out, and shut them in
your yard, ,and if l again find them
there, Tll do it again. Struck
with reply, the man liberated the
horse from the pound, and paid
the charges himself. "A soft an

Fireside Department.
Street Education.

Not long ago a pale, thin boy,a
Sunday School scholar, stood
weeping in court, with his father
on one side, his experimentation
the other. Witnesses proved that
he had stolen money many times
and that he had even robbed a
poor servant girl of her wages
When the witnesses had done
speaking, thejudge said to him
How old are yous
Twelve years, sir.
Who taught you to be a thief.
Some boys in the street.
From whom did you first take
money
From my Father and mother.
SIR.
What did you do with the mon
ey? =
T Spent it, sir.
How. fi
In candy and in going to. the
theater with my companions sir.
The young thief was sent to the
prison. What ruined him? He
was a Sunday School scholar.
But his confession proved that
he was pupil of another school
the street school. While his re
ligious was going on in the Sun
day School, he was learning the
lesson of vice in the street. His
character was not established
Can we wonder that he fell into
disgrace?-Youth Companion.

Go to Church.

There is no substitute for the
preaching of the word, as the ef-
fectual and ordinary means of con-
version and Christian confrma-
ton. No one who expects to die
the death Of the righteous can
simply leave this, and resort to
meditations upon theIdivine good
ness in the fields and woods, or to
the quietude ofhis own. spirit at
home, or to the oracle of reason,
or to the printed sermons of gift
ed authors. A printed sermon
as read at home may be better
written, may be more profound,
finished or spiritual, but the fact
that the reading of sermons in
private by those who can attend
church is not in the divine plan,
is enough to condemn it as sub
stitute. -,
No matter who breaches. The
ambassador whom European
sovereign may send to our nation
al capital, cannot be ignored be-
cause he may be a third-rate OF a
tenth-rate statesman; if he have
the seal of his royal master to his
commission, he is received and
his dispatches considered. And
so,without allowing personal con-
slderations to obtrude, we should
concern ourselves chiefly with
the overtures which our Divine
Sovereign makes to us, under his
own seal; sending by whom he
will. N
For those physically able to at
tend church, but spiritually
lauguid, and in practice irregular
OF neglectful, we say turn over
new leaf. Go to church. You
will find providence in It,. for
Gods word and providence go to-
gether. What a providence may
do, making great things of feeble
beginnings, is illustrated by a
familiar incident. A Scotch inn
keeper resolved that no minister
should ever again preach or pray
in his hearing. One Sabbath,
contrary to his custom, he went
to church to hear-the music, but
declared that he would hear
nothing else. The music ceased.
the minister said, "Let US pray"
and the man put his fingers in
his ears.
As if to battle him in his fool
ish undertaking, the Lord sent a
fly to alight upon his face. The
man tried to blow it away, as it
sat upon his nose, but without
success. Then he withdrew the
hand that closed one ear, and in
that moment heard the preacher
say, 'He that hath ears to hear.
let him hear" Wonderstruck, he
listened further was interested, |
and came to church again, next
time to hear the preaching. He
became regular attendant and a
hopeful convert.-Our XonthEy |
