Sill SO Gently

The Madison Courier tells this of revenue
officer who was sent into the illicit whisky
distilling district in Kentucky. He knew
illicit distilling was going on, but he could
get no basis to work from. Coming to an
Irishman who was tolerable drunk, the Of
ficer tapped him on the shoulder, and said,
my man do you want to make ten dollarsic
"Is it ten dollars?" said Pat; ''sure and
do" ''Then'' said the officer, ''show me a
private still'" .'Tl do the same; follow
me, yer Honor" The officers followed
across lots and fields to the camp of COM
pany of soldiers that had been sent there to
aid the revenue officers. The soldiers were
in lire-dress parade. ''Do. you see that

''He is" said Pat, ''my brother. He's been

whisky found" moralized the officers as he
wended his way back to his hotel.

Sun Printing on Fruit.

Boys and girls, if you wish to astonsh
any member of the family or any coming
guests by some day allowing them to discover
their initials neatly printed on pear, peach
or apple as it hangs on its branch, this is the
way to carry out your plan: Just before the
fruit ripens cut the desired letters from a
sheet of thin tough paper; then paste them
on the side of the fruit most exposed to the
sun, and when in course of time you remove
the paper from the ripe surface you will find
the letters distinctly marked upon it.

PREJUDICES.

1t is very difficult for us to keep from con-
founding our prejudices with piety. To mis-
take an opinion for principle, is one of the
easiest things in the world and to confound
an ignorant prejudice with conscientious
scruple, is certainly not much more difficult
Often we think that we have conscientious
scruples about the doing or not doing this or
that when conscience has very little, if any
thing at all, to do with it. The whole of it is,
we are controlled often by bitter and uncom-
promising prejudices. No doubt many of
the human family would suffer martyrdom for
an opinion, the correctness of which they nev-
er investigated
All prejudices are sinful, and consequently
retard progress of true religion in the heart
OF all people on earth, Christians should be
able and willing to give reason for the hope
that is in them. To come to conclusion
respecting anything about which we know
nothing, is heathenish, not Christian. One
of the characteristics of true Christians is, that
they search the Scriptures. What the Bible
approves, they approve, and whatever the
Bible condemns, they condemn. Prejudice
is the centre around which persecution re-
volves 1t leads men to vindictae whim
with the sword.

WHEN SHOULD AFARMER sELLPRODUCE.

One of the most successful farmers and
merchants that ever lived in this vicinity
long since dead-is credited with having said
that farmer should sell his produce as soon
as it is ready for market. The principal rea-
son he gave was, that when the farmer held
his produce over from one season to another,
or even for shorter period that he then be-
came speculator in addition to his being
producer, and that the two are inconsistent.
The farmer raises his produce for the market,
and when it is ready for it, then is the time to
SELL The money he realizes for crop can
always be used to an advantage in some other
way than that of holding grain. 1t requires
the very finest mind to become successful
speculator.
A writer compares the educated merchant
to Isaac Newton. He says the same under
standing Newton had to calculate the motions
of the stars, the merchant exerts in tracing
the actions of the1ommercial people that fer
tilize the earth. His problems are the most
difficult to solve, as the circumstances are not
derived from the invariable laws of Nature,
while the systems of geometricians are. The
problems of the merchant depend upon the
caprices of men, and upon the certainty or
uncertainty of thousand events. He takes
in at one view the whole world, and directs
his operations by an infinite variety Of consid-
erations, which it is seldom the province of the
statesman or philosopher to estimate. Moth
ing must escape the trader. He must foresee
the influence of the season upon the plenty,
the scarcity and quality of commodities. He
must know the effect of political affairs upon
those Of commerce, the changes which war or
peace must necessarily occasion in the prices
and direction of merchandise in the state Of
the markets in the cities and parts of the
world. He must look to the stagnation or
impetus that may be produced by the block
ing up or opening of some channels Of indus
trY or wealth. He must learn the reciprocal
connection there is between most branches Of
trade, and the mutual assistance they lend,
by the temporary injuries they seem to infict
on each other. He must know the proper
time to begin, and the time to stop, in all un-
dertakings. In word, he must possess the
art of making all other nations tributary to-
his own, and to make his own furtune with
that of his own country, or rather, to enrich
himself by extending the general prosperity
of mankind.
These are the objects which constitute the
profession of the true merchant. If, then,
these are the characteristics Of the merchant.
cannot every one see how much the farmer
undertakes when he becomes both farmer and
merchant he speculates on what he
produces? We know a farmer of Fayette
county who refused ten dollars per hundred
for his hemp crop, because he said it was not
enough, and he would get more; but he was
mistaken, and afterward sold the same crop
for five dollars per hundred. He lost fifty
per cent. of the price offered and one years
interest on the capital. In nine cases out of

THE ROBBER CRIPPLE.

In a lonely village among the Taurus
mountains in Asia lived poor cripple.
His hands were withered, his elbows stiff, and
only few rags covered his body. More than
this;,he was wicked man; blood and crime
stained his memory. Friends he had none,
and he had nothing to hope for in this world
or the next.
Well, a Bible wound round the mountain
passes, and strayed to that far-of village,
and somebody sat by the roadside reading it
to somebody else and the old cripple, beg
ging that way, halted and heard the words.
He listened and listened. 1t was the story
of the Saviour's love. He opened hs ears ;
he opened his mind he opened his conscience;
he opened his heart; and he found out that
somebody cared for him. There was one
who could lift him from his sin and guilt to
forgiveness and peace; and, like blind Barte-
meus, who sat by the roadside when Jesus
passed by, he cried nightly, "Jesus, have
mercy on me-" -.
There was nobody in the village that would
hearken to the old mans cries, nobody who
pitied him. But there was somebody on high
who did. The Lord Jesus, who came to save
Just such as he, heard his cries. He answered
them, and sent-what do you suppose? He
sent him heaven. Heaven came down into
the wicked old mans bosom with pardon and
love and hope and perhaps his was the only
soul in all that place that had heaven in it.
It is wonderful that this robber cripple should
have got the treasure; but God is King,
and dispenses his blessings as he wills.
By and by one of our missionaries, follow
ing the track of his Bibles, heard about this
man, and he hastened to hunt him up. He
found him on the ground, the picture Of pov-
erty, but with such face! The missionary
instantly saw there was heaven in it. Beside
him was Bible, and that explained all. The
old man never saw a missionary before. He
never heard sermon, and never attended
prayer meeting He could not even read
when he first heard the Bible read by the
roadside He could read now. He had
learned to read, taught by himself.
The missionary came to comfort and in
struct the old man, but the old man comforted
the missionary, and taught him new lesson
in the wonders of Gods mercy and grace.
And as his case touched the misslonary's
heart, 50 it must touch other hearts; tor, in
fact, the Bible is such common book among
us, we forget what wonderful book it is. 1t
is only when we see its light shining in dark
place that we realize it contains the light OF
the world. Everything else is darkness, or
only reflection of this; and we are so much
occupied with other good books, that we for
get the Bible is the fountain head Of truth.
The others are only rills from it, and some
pretty muddy ones. Let us drink from the
fountain. head
