SEVEN.

The Lord made heaven aud earth in six
days and rested on the seventh, and pro-
claimed to all men that they should do
likewise until the end OF time The chill
dren of Israel toasted for seven DAYS. and
Ter seven successive days remained within
their tents. The command was given that
the seventh year should be one in which
no ground should he cultivated, and once
every seven years there was a complete
release for all men from all debts, and all
laves were to be free Tor ono year. In the
old Mosaic law, young men were appren
ticed for the term of seven wears. and CON.
vlcts were held in durance fer the same
number OF years, or transported for SEVEN
years, twice seven, o. three times seven
years, as the law read
The ancients never permitted their chill.

CLOSE TO THE HEART.

After the toll of the day.
After tho wearisome burden,
Borne on the shoulders Of care,
Rolls through the darkness away;
Then from benifcent hands
cometh the beautiful guerdon;
Silence keeps watch by the couch
Where our beloved we lay.
soft-the child is at rest,
Worn with the travail Of sorrow;
Kiss down the eyelids so fair,
Clasp her again to your breast;
Out of her sleep she may wake,
One with the angels Tomorrow,
Leaving you searching in vain,
For the sweet joy you possessed.
Hold them as close as we may,
Out of our arms they are going,
Surely ms into the chasm
or night aows the stream Of to. day.
Close by the roses of life
The cypress Of death may be growing
And so, my beloved, hold you
Close To my heart while may.

PUTRID MILK.

A Philadelphia doctor has been examin-
ing into the sanitary qualities of the milk
brought to that city, appropos of the typhoid
fever started by the swiIl and sewerage-fed
cows Of London. He writes:
To the Board of Health of the City of
delphia-Gentlemen: l desire to call
the attention of the Board to q probable
source of milk contamination, and hence of
typhoid fever and allied diseases in our citv.
Passing few evenings since through milk
car on one Of the main railroads, 1 was
shocked at the noisome stencil which per-
vaded the atmosphere. Looking for its
cause, concluded that it was due to the
saturation OF the floor with milk which had
stopped over from the cans and become pu-
trid. Now, space which will permit the
escape of milk will undoubtedly also permit
the entrance of air. Hence we have the
milk during the entire time of its transfer
from the farm to the city exposed to vi
tisted and poisonous atmosphere. The
remedy would seem to be to insist on hav-
ing the floors and sides of all milk cars
lined with tin or zinc, and have them thor
oughly cleaned after each trip.
Milk Is an animal substance which, like
flesh, is very liable to faint and petrify. The
covers of milk cans should fit SO closely by
toe aid of some proper composition that no
milk can run out If the vessel be turned
bottom upwards. Few dairymen have
learnt how to produce and handle milk,
fresh butter and new cheese in the best way.
Hence there is SO much poor milk and real.
ly bad butter and cheese in every large
msrket like Philadelphia and New York.
Rightly handled, there is much more money
in dairy husbandry than in producing beei
at the North, where land is high.

bearing surface, would not sink deeply intt
the soft mud; and when required, one could
be sunk on another to complete the work.
No note is taken OF The ssInud lump" phenol
mena, asathe mud Jumps could in any event
only raise up the dyke, and 1t could mol
float or blow away; but II it did the lump
would supply its place. IN
Such work as above indicated would dc
for large part of the dyke. As we draw
nearer to the outer edge of the bar, we
shall need to construct the arks with more
care, and to put heavier material into them
larger rocks, Aanico caissons, or concrete
similar to the French beton, as the whole
structure at its outer end must resist the
impact of waves rolling in from the gulf.
For great part of the length of the dyke
the water is SO shallow (see charity that the
waves cannot seriously affect the work.
| think this plan can be rapidly executed.
The work can at the same time be going on
in various localities, where timber is plenty;
and the towing of the arks to their places
and sinking them will be the only operation
going ON where the dyke is to be built.
therefore think from twelve to eighteen
months is long enough to allow for the
work.
While the dyke is being built I would
have dredging machine of some sort at
work to aid the river in cutting out the
channel.
The entire cost of the work would,
think, be Insignificant in comparison with
its Importance. One or two millions ought
