of their famous weighing machines. This
house, however, literally has the world for a
market.

wonderfully.

Family Governments Mr.. Outs preach
ell on this subject, in the West Presbyterian
Church, last Sunday morning, from the 18th
verse Of the 10Th chapter Of jeremiah: "l'our
out thy fury OH the heather that know thee not,
and the families who call not Oh thy name" In
his predatory remarks he observed that he could
not help believing that The various orbs which
| surround us were inhabited with beings whose
| creation we've intended TO honor and elorify
the Creator of all things. Atcr allildIng to
the fall OF man and the introdnc ion of sin
into the world, lie remarked that parents should
| teach their children to worship God, and exert
over them parental authority. The family is
| the foundation of both church and state, aud
| should 1t be taken away the race would be re-
duced to state of barbarism. lie exhorted
parents to institute family worship, under the
penalty OF divine displeasure. lie believed that
| there was no other duty taught more clearly in
| the scripture than this one. The plea OF want
of time was sheer conceit. Queen Elizabeth
could not find time for devotional exercises
| exclaimed s'uillions OF money for one inch of
| time in which to pray" IL matters not how
busy persons may be, they will eventually find
| time TO be sick and to die. Godliness, he con-
tinued, Is better legacy TO leave children than
gold. In Illustration of this point he referred
| to California steamer that took fire, aud OH
being headed towards the shore, MI old miner
who was about fastening bag of gold to his
waist, was accosted by little orphan girl who
asked him if he would not save her. lie conse-
quently thrust the gold aside, and, plungng in
| 10 the water, succeeded in reaching the shore
with his young friend. lie was never heard to
| express regret for the course he had pursued.
/ On the contrary he often remarked that the lit
| tie girl had been the means of saving him IN
| two senses. Had he taken the gold he would
| not have reached the shore alive, aud his soul
would also have been lost. BY the prolongation
of his life on earth, lie had obtained the hope of
| q life in heaven.
| He exhorted all who did not feel able to
pray in the family circle TO avail themselves
| OF the use of written prayers, as drowning
man would avail himself ofthe use Of life pre-
server should one come In his way. He advised
| all TO commence every day with prayer and to
| not let their acts contradict the words or spirit
OF their petition. 1t was worse than folly TO
pray, and yet not speak a pleasant word to
those about the house. lie cited the case of n
i former parishoner who alenated all his family
he prayed fervently every day. 1t was not sur
prising that children should be alienated from
| a religion which thus manifested itself.
VOLUNTEER CRop.-The Oxford "Pres.''
says, Robert Collins, OF East Nottingham town.
| ship, had very clever volunteer crop of wheat
| the past harvest. Last year his wheat, like the
majority of fields throughout the county, was
| complete failure, and the grass also tailed to
set well. He therefore plowed down his wheat
I dad IN. "A
the expectation OF making good grass crop
| the present summer The result Was rather
| singular. The wheat heads ana loose grains
| scattered over the ground came mp AZ well as
l though they had been sown, but not quite as
evenly. This grew and did well, and when
harvest time arrived lie found that the wheat
had beaten the timothy IN quantity, and he cut
1t, having on five acres of the field over eighty
dozen sheayes Of excellent wheat. The heads
were all large and well filled. On some part.
of the field there was q good swath of wheat
and where 1t was not heavy the crop of hay was
quite good. The field is now well set witt
grass. MFR. Collins Is satisfied that 1t Is good
plan to proceed In this manner when the grass
seed sown with the wheat fails to set well.
Struck by Lightning.-Wm Palmer Of Con
cord Delaware county,was struck by lightning
while working in the woods on Tuesday last
and narrowly escaped death. The fluid took Of
feet underneath the left shoulder blade, runnin
down the left side in streak, cutting the skin Il
some places and burning il in others. TIL
clothes were not torn, nor was Mr.. Paine
stunned, but feeling he was going to fall, h
, moved short distance to a more comforiabl
place to lie, and then requested his son to pou
cold water on him. expressing the thought thu
he was about killed. At the time of the strok
the maui that he was working with was lyin
near him, and had its handle shivered to splir
: tiers.
