body had been kept in ice for two days,
proves incorrect in one psrticular-he did

was that the funeral was postponed on &C
count of the life-like appearance Of the

Comparison of Breeds of Poultry


Isaac Lynde, of Ohio, in the Poultry
World, describes an experiment tried by
him last season. At the first of September
he took ten pullets each of five breeds
each within a week of being six month,
old, and placed them in yards forty feet
square, with comfortable houses. For the
uext six months he kept an account of theil
food and egg production, with the following
results:
The Dark Brahmas ate three hundred
and sixty-nine and half quarts of corn
oats, and wheat screenings, laid six hun
dred and five eggs, and weighed seventy
pounds.
The Buff Cochins ate four hundred anC
six quarts, laid FIVE hundred and ninety -ont
eggs, and weighed seventy-three pounds.
The Gray Dorkings ate three hundred
and nine and half quarts, laid five hun
bred and twenty-four eggs, and weighed
iifty-nine and one half pounds.
The Houdans ate two hundred and four.
teen and one-fourth quarts laid seven hun,
bred and eighty-three eggs, and weighed
forty-fve and one half pounds.
The Leghorns ate two hundred and thir.
ty-one and half quarts, laid eight hun
bred and seven eggs, and weighed thirty
six and one-half pounds.

The Heroic Young Sailor.

Says the apostle In everything, by
prayer and duplication with thanksgiv.
ing, let your requests be made known unto
God"
Among many instances of boy heroism
on the sea we have found none more beau
tiiul and impressive than the following,
which we abridge from the account given
by West Indian chaplain of the Seamen's
Friend Society
l must tell you of feat performed by a
sailor boy in the height of the storm. lie
was literally boy, and far better adapted
to the duties Of the school room than furl-
ing a sail in a storm. Bat his mother was
widow ; he must earn his living, aud
where better than at sea
The ship was rolling fearfully. Some OF
the rigging got foul the manmast head, and
it was necessary that some one should GO
up and fix it Alright. 1t was perious un.
dertaking.
was standing near by the mate, when !
heard him order the boy to do it,
The lad lifted his cap, aud glanced al
the swinging mast at the boiling, wrathful
sea, and at the stately, determined counte-
nance Of the mate. He hestated a mo,
ment in silence, then, running across the
deck, he pitched down into the forecastle.
Perhaps he was gone two minutes
when be returned, he laid his hand on the
ratlines, and went up with a will. My
eyes followed him till my head was dizzy
when | returned and demonstrated with the
mate for sending the boy aloit:
/ did it, replied the mate, "to save
life. We've sometimes lost man over.
board but never boy. See, how he holds
like squirrel. He is more careful. He
will come down safe, | hope"
Again | looked till tears dimmed nv
eyes, and | was compelled to turn away,
expecting every moment to catch glimpse
Of his last fall.
In about fifteen or twenty minutes, he
came down, and Strengthening himself W
with the conscious pride of having perform.
ed a manly act, he walked aft with smile
on his countenance.
In the course Of the day, l took occasion
to speak to him.
why did you hesitate when ordered
aloft ?"
." went sir" said the boy, "to pray'
:" Do you pray?'
Yes, sir. thought that l might MOI
come down alive, and went to commit my
soul to God"
Where did you learn to pray 2"
AT home. My mother wanted me Il
so to Sabbath school, and my teacher urgeC
me to pray to God to keep me, and | do.
"What was that you had in your jack
etq"
My Testament, which my teacher gave
me. | thought if | did perish, | would
have the word of God close to my heart
We read Of the heroism of the Spartan
youth, of the fiery valor displayed at Pla
tea, at Salamis and Thermopyle, but wher,
in the annals Of heroism do we find any
thing more noble than this ?
