root them out. Where the old trees are yet
standing, large auger hole bored to the
heart and filled with salt and plugged up will
generally settle the matter pretty eAectually,
and prevent sprouts coming up from the roots.
But most yards where they have grown are
set thickly with sprouts. In such case, re-
peated moving in the growing season, depriv-
ing them of their leaves, will probably exter-
inmate them as soon as anything else. When
there are only few, cut them off under the
surface and apply handful Of salt. 1t should
be remembered that salt in large quantities
will kill any kind of vegetable growth, ex-
cept such as are indigenous to seaside loca-
tions; such, for instance, as asparagus.

FOUR SERVANTS OF SATAN.

Dear young friends, Satan has great
many servants, and they are very busy, run.
ming about doing all the harm they can. l
know four Of them, and some of the mischief
they have DONE I found out their names,
and | want to put you on your guard against
them, for they are very sly. They will make
you believe they are your friends. They ap,
pear sociable, easy, good-natured, and not too
much in hurry. They seem to wait your
own time, and entice you when you least ex,
pect it.
ooh! we want you to enjoy yourselves, D
they say, "and not be so particular ;" and the
arguments they use are very taking; at least
I must think so, since so many of the young
listen to them and are led away by them.
And all, l believe, because they they did
not know, in the first place, who was speak
ing to them. They were deceived. They
did not see it was Satan's uniform they had
on. Do you ask for their names? Here
they are:
"Theres no danger" That is one.
"Only this once" That is another.
Everybody does So" is the third; and
"By and BY" is the fourth.
If you are tempted to leave Gods house,
and break the Sabbath day to 60 for sail or
a ride, and "only this once," or Everybody
does so," whispers at your elbow, know it is
false. The great evil of one sin is, that you
bring your heart and conscience into such a
state that you will be likely to 60 on SHINING
for there is not half so much to stop you as
there was to prevent you from setting out at
first. Hold no parley with "only this once, u
or "everybody does So Listen to their dan
gerous counsels, no, not for moment.
Are you thinking seriously about the vel
fare of your soul? Has the Holy Spirit fas'
tened upon your conscience the solemn warn
ings of faithful teacher, and brought to
mind a tender mothers prayer for your con.
version Does the tear start in your eye, and
are you almost persuaded to choose Christ and
that better part which cannot be taken from
you? That is moment when "by and BY
hovers near to snatch your confidence, and
persuade you to put away serious things. II
succeeded with poor Felix when Paul preach
ed to him, and the Roman ruler was "almost
persuaded to become Christian" "By and
by" whispered in his ear. He put off his
souls salvation to more convenient season
and it never came.
"By and by" is cheat as we'll as liar
By putting you off, he means to cheat your
soul of heaven. God says now {: "Now is the
accepted time, and the day of salvation" He
never asks you to postpone it. He max nc
promises and no provisions for "by and boy.'
Dear children, be on your guard agains
these four servants of Satan, in little things
as well as in great ones, for their only aim il
to harm and ruin you.-British Messenger.

THE MEANEsr MAN.-It turns out, after
all, that the meanest man is not the man we
referred to the other day, who split up his
first wife's tombstone. Burrows is even mean
er than he. Burrows was an inveterate
tobacco chewer, but, as his wife detested the
practice, and made home tempestuous and
stormy for him when he indulged in the hab-
it there, he always cnewed when away du-
ring the day, and declared to his wife that
he had stopped permanently. But one even
ing upon entering the front door and draw
ing out his handkerchief, he accidentally pull
led out his paper of tobacco, and, without no.
ticing it, left it lying on the floor. When
Burrows sat down to his tea, his wife walked
in with the tobacco in her hand, and, looking
Burrows firmly in the eye, said, "Do you
know who that belongs to?' With great
presence of mind, Burrows turned scowling
to his oldest boy and said, with severe voice :
Immortal Mars! Is it possible that you
have begun to chew tobacco, you young repro
bate? Where'd you get that nasty stuff?
What d'you mean by such conduct, you
young villain? Haven't I told you often
enough to let tobacco alone? Come ere to me,
or I'll tear the jacket off of you" And as
he spoke the stern parent made grab at the
boy and dragged him out into the entry,
where he chastsed him with cane. Then
Burrows threw the tobacco over the fence,
where he went out and got it the next morn
ing, and enjoyedi it during the day. "Merciful
Moses" he exclaimed when he told US about it,
"what would 1 have done if my children had
all been girls? 1t makes an old fathers heart
glad when he feels that he has boy he can
depend on in such emergencies. ."-Mar Adeler.
