THE HUMAN HAND.


All the works of God are useful and beau
tiful. Every animal is provided with physi-
cal members which prepare it for the station
assigned it in the scale of creation by its ma
kcr. Some animals have the sense of sight
very highly developed; others have the sense
of smell. The dog is endowed with the pow
er of tracking his master through the streets
Of crowded city. Rarely will he confound
the track of his master with the track of any
one else. Many of the wild animals wander
about through dark thickets in the night with.
out apparently suffering any Inconvenience
from the darkness. The physical member
which distinguishes man, is the hand. No
other animal has hand. Many animals
have four legs, and the monkey tribe has
something that resembles the human hand,
but is not hand.
The most wonderful thing connected with
the material universe is the human hand.
1t prepares man to take his position as lord
of the lower world. Notwithstanding all the
mental powers with which man is endowed,
he would be but poorly prepared to assert his
rights had he no hand. Without hand no
cities could be built, no rail roads constructed,
no forest cut down, no fields plowed, no gar
ments spun or wove The beaver could con-
struct his dam, the bird could build its nest !;
but man without hand could construct no
house. Without the hand, perhaps man
could not exist He could neither endure
the cold winds of winter, nor the scorching
suns of summer.

A MOTTO FOR BOYS.

The boy who does stroke and stops,
Will ne'er great man be;
'Tis the aggregate of single drops
That makes the sea the sea.
The mountain was not, at its birth,
A mountain, so to speak;
The little atoms Of sand anu earth
Have made it's peak peak.
Not all at once the morning streams
The gold above the gray;
'Tis thousand little yellow CLEANS
That makes the day the day.
Not from the snow-drift May awakcs
In purpleS, reds and green's;
Springs whole bright retinue it takes
TO make her queen of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from branch to root,
And blossoms bloom and fade witlal,
Before the fruit is fruit.
The farmer needs must SOW and till,
And wait the wheaton bread,
Then cradle, thrcsh and 60 to mill,
Before the bread is bread.
Swift heels may get the early shout,
But spite Of all the din,
1t is the patient holding out
That makes the winner win.
Make this your motto, then, ut start,
twill help to smooth the way,
And steady up both hand and heart
"Romo wasn't built in day"

GOOD POINTS OF A COW.

Observation and experience have taught
some rules to be observed in the choice Of
good mixers which, though not infallible, are
by no means to be despised. A few doggerel
verses, which appeared some months since in
the Farmers Magazine, states what are popu'
larly considered in England the points of a
good COW, though it is rare thing to find
them all combined in one animal; and there
fore this brief COW poem is only fancy sketch
As now quoted, it is slightly altered from the
original:
She's long in her face, she's fine in her horn,
She'll quickly get fat without cake or corn;
She's clean in her jaws, and full in her chin,
She's heavy in flank and wide in her lon.
She's broad in her ribs, and long in her rump,
She sstraght and flat backed without g hump
She's wide in her hips, and calm in her eyes,
She's fine in her shoulders and thin in her thighs
She's light in her neck, and small in her tail,
She's wide in her breast and will fill the milk pail
She's fine in her BONE and silky OF skin,
She's airy without-a meat market within.
To state in prose the characteristics of 8
good mixer, as guide in purchasing dairy
stock
/. Youth. A COW is in her prime at from
four to six years, and the best paying time tc
buy is Just after the birth of her second OF
third calf.
2. Prominence and fulness of milk veins
and velvety softness of skin. The milk veins
run down on either side of the animal toward
the udder, and are easily perceptible to the
eye, or can be readily found by pressure Of
the hand, if the animal is not over fat. The
skin should be soft and mellow, not hard
rough and Staring"
8. Symmetry, fullness and softness of the
udder. 1t should be broad, we'll spread out
projecting behind the legs and also reaching
forward under the belly. There should be q
softness and thinness to the touch, and an alb
sence of heshiness and thickness.
4. Perfect number and condition of teats
Ifone teat is wanting, about fourth less milk
will be the result. A cows udder is not, a:
some suppose, a barrel with four taps, but i:
divided into four different compartments, call
ed "milk glands" each of which has its OWL
tap or teat. 1t is not only important that the
full number of teats be present and in working
order, but it is desirable that they be vel
placed, not crowded together, but pretty fal
and uniformly apart; rather long and taper
ing all pointing out and downward equal II
size and even in appearance.
5. Docility and quietness Of disposition
These are indicated by large mild and clear
eyes, and an air of contentment generally. A
COW that is quiet and contented feeds at ease
chews her cud with entire satisfaction, anc
will secrete and yield more milk than any
restless and turbulent animal, having similar
| milking characteristics in other respects.

Too Much CRED1T.-Mr. Keene, shrewd
and thrifty farmer of Pennsylvania, owned a
large flock of sheep, and, one autumn, when
it came housing time, he was greatly annoyed
upon missing number of his finest muttons,
among them three or four wethers which he
raised and fattened for his own table. He
was sure it was not the work of dogs, and the
most he could do was to await further deveI-
opments.
In the following spring, when his sheep
were turned out to pasture, he instituted a
careful watch, and ere long had detected Tom
Stickney, neighboring farmer, in the act of
pilfering sheep; but he made no noise about
it at the time. Stickney was a man we'll to
do, and Keene did not want to expose him.
Autumn came again, and upon counting up
his flock Mr.. Keene found eight sheep miss
ing. He made out bill in due form to
Thomas Stickney for the eight sheep and pre-
sented it. Stckney choked and stammered,
but did not back down. Like prudent
man, he paid the bill and pocketed the re-
ceipt.
Another spring-time came, and Mr.. Keene's
sheep were again turned out. Another au-
tumn came, and the farmer again took an &C.
count of his stock, and this time fifteen sheep
were missing. AS before he made out the
bill to Tom Stickney for the whole number
missing; but this time Tom objected.
"It's too much of a good thing" he. Eff.
teen sheep! Why, bless your soul, haven't
had a fifth part of 'em."
Mr.. Keene was inexorable.
"There is the bill," said he, "and I have
made it out in good faith. have made no
fuss when my sheep have been missing, be-
cause deemed your credit good and suff-
cient."
"Well," groaneds Tom, with big gulp, II
suppose I must pay; "but," he added en-
phaticaly, "well close that account from
this time. You have given me too much
credit altogether other rascal has been
stealing on the strength of it!

THE TONGUE.


THE TONGUE.
The tongue is little member, but it is
mighty, either to accomplish good or to orig.
mate and scatter broadcast evil. Once a
company of wise old men were assembled to-
gether. All except one was busily engaged
in conversation. This one was asked why he
alone remained silent. He replied that he
had often repented that he had spoken; but
never had he repented that he had kept silent.
A large amount of the evils which befall US
in this world might be avoided by simply
keeping our mouths shut. 1t is great mis-
fortune for any one to be unable to talk; but
is no less misfortune for any one to contract
the habit of talking too much. There are in
this world only few persons who are dumb !;
but there are vast multitude Of idle pratt
lers.
The tongue sustans the same, or similar
relation TO the human being that the crater
does to volcano. From the crater of vol
cano there is often thrown great quantities of
matter. Sometimes this matter is of such a
kind as to make all the country around the
volcano rich and fertile; at other times the
matter thrown out makes the whole surround
ing country poor and unproductive. Just so
with the tongue. Sometimes it gives vent to
words which fiji the hearts of all who hear
them with joy at other times the words Ut.
tered are of such character as to spread
strife and anger over whole country.
There is no music so sweet as the prattling
of a little child. When, however, that pratt
tling tongue becomes tell-tale tongue, it
makes the most discordant sound in the world.
1t becomes war trumpet which arouses q
peaceful community into deadly hostilities.
Nothing can be more melodious than the
voice of little child knelt before its mother
repeating the words: "Now I lay me down to
sleep, &c." but nothing can be more like the
harsh and grating dialect of perdition, than
the little child cursing and swearing. Chill.
dren, learn to govern your tongues. The boy
who can manage his tongue is able to manage
the fercest wild beast that prowls upon the
face of the globe. If there is boy in this
wide world who is able to put bride on his
own tongue, and keep it under his control,
that boy is prepared to manage the affairs of
q nation.

of communion or commerce or intercourse be-
tween God and man. The devotees of false
religions denied that the rites and ceremonies
which they practiced were devised by men ;
but boldly asserted that these rites and cere-
monies were given to them by their gods.
All the ancient law-givers claimed heaven
ly origin for their laws. If it is improbable
that God would make an extraordinary reve-
lation of himself, no one could be induced to
believe it. The human mind is so consti-
tuted as to give credence to probabilities; but
never to improbabilitics. There is but
shade of difference between improbabilities
and impossibilities.
The next thing to be considered is the ne
cessity of an extraordinary revelation. Do
men need revelation? The testimony of all
mankind-modern in6dels excepted-is that
they do. Without an extraordinary revela-
ton, some of the most interesting, as we'll as
the most important facts cannot be discover
ed. No man, it matters not how extensive
and varied his learning, and how penetrating
his discernment, can discover anything salts
factory respecting the origin Of the human
race. Civilized nations universally believe in
the existence of the human soul. Man, they
say, is compound being-part material and
part immaterial-part body and part soul.
This is a matter of pure revelation. 1t can
neither be discovered by reasoning nor by OBJ
servaton. All that we know certainly about
the existence of the human soul or body is
what is revealed to US in the Bible. 1t is not
denied that both reason and revelation har-
monize with what is revealed; but the fact is
disclosed simply and alone by revelation.
When revelation stops, then reason and OBJ
servation are compelled to stop. No man
knows certainly in what part of his body is
located his soul, if the word located be ad-
missible in this connection. 1t may be in the
head or in the heart, or in the liver, or in the
stomach, or it may be in some other men,
ber. 1t is foolish to assert, and it is as fool
sh to deny, anything about its location
This is only one fact amongst many concern
ing which a revelation is necessary. A reve-
lation is necessary to make known to man
something about sin, its origin, its hatefulness
in the sight of God, and the penalties which
await the sinner. We especially need rev.
elation to make known to US the plan of re-
demption. If for no other reason, this Of it.
