CHURCH GOING

Why do not people 90 to church more
One thinks it is this, another thinks it is
that. You can open church in howell
and let voice go forth that has the pow
er Of touching men aud you will find 1t
crowded and thronged. You do not
want the cobs that used to have corn.
That which man wants is sappy food, re-
freshng food. Men are willing to be
dealt with, to have their sins flashed in
! their faces, willing to have their con-
science aroused, but do not want to be
handled: they want a preacher that takes
hold of them in some way, and If he can
do more than that if he give to them that
which every man consciously needs
some men have aspiration, and some more
indulge in superficial thought-and if be
can give them strength to bear their bur-
den, men that are sore in lie; men who
are in sorrow; women who don't know
how to bring up their children, and who
are continually having more added to
their flock; people who want to know
where the next hod Of coal is coming
from; people who are afraid of the Sher-
if; men who are pricked with the ten
thousand nettles of human life--they
come to church and hear long discuss
ion on the fall of Adam. Well that is
not inopportune, but still they're so fiat
themselves that they feel as if they would
| like to know something about their own
fall. They want something that deadens
the struggle that is going Oh within them;
| they want some one who will take part
with them, minister who brings God
down to the side of men, not as an ever
| lasting condemner, but one who brings
God down as present help in time of
| trouble. A minister who brings the
ProdigsI Son home to his Father, who
seeing Zion afar of, runs to him, and be-
fore he can speak, throws his arms around
his neck. The helper we need Is he who
will help a sinner, who will help hard
hearted proud man who knows he is
| selfish aud wants to get over it., but is
too proud to do 50. He wants God 10
convert him, aud that is what be wants

GOING WEST.

Our ueighbor Chase Of the Lyndon
Union, who is revisiting his old stamp
ing ground at Sycamore, Ill.,, writes home
very interesting letters to his paper, In
reference to Vermouters going West, he
very sensibly says:
We imagine many Of our readers are
anxious TO inquire If ii is best for them
to 20 west. The safest rule we know OF
in business is to let well enough alone.
In writing about persons and places cor
respondents are less apt TO mention fail
ures than successes Persons inclined
to change are influenced by accounts Of
successful men. But in all countries
where one man gets rich, twenty fail to
reach that desirable point. Industry and
saving will make ono forehanded any
where. The rolling stone gathers no
moss, but steady, pcrseyering application
seldom fails of success. Men get rich
not 50 oflen on what they earn a. on
what they save. They live faster In mi
uols than among the green hills Of Yer
mont. Temptation to speculate are more
abundant, and the chances to fortune and
poverty more numerous, Bot the road
TO small possessions out here is broader
than The other one, aud 50 Gar a. we can
observe il the most Travelled. II you are
doing we'll, stay where sou are. fuoi,
come west
But remember that fortunes are not ly.
ing around loose, out here, even. Accu.
mulaiing property requires steady indus.
Try, good management and economy.
Occasionally one slumbles upon rare
chances, grows rich upon rise Of land, Or
falls Id love with a rich girl. Bu,
there are more thA, don't Bear that 10
mind, and In al yoar plans 6gute sue.

good management, hard work and pFa.

Recently Quaker was travelling in a
railway carriage. After q time observ-
ing certain movements on the part Of a
fellow passenger, he accosted him as fol.
lows;
Sir, thee seems well dressed and ! dare
say thee considers thyself well bred and
wonld not demean thyself Of ungentle-
manlike acton, wouldst thee?
The person addressed promptly repi-
ed with considerable spirit:
Certainly not, If knew Il.
The Quaker continued
And supposed thee invited me TO thy
house thee would not think Of offering
me thy glass to druk out OF after thee
had drank oft thyself, wouldst thee?
The interrogated replied
Abominabe! No! such al offer would
be most insulting.
The Quaker continued
Still less would the think Of Offering me
thy knife aud fork to cat with after put
ting Il in Thy mouth, wouldst thee?
The iulerrogatcd answered
To DO that would be an outrage on all
decency, aud would show that snc4 q
wretch was out Of tie pale ia civilized 50
ciety.
Then, said the Quaker, with such inn
pressions ou thee, why shouldst thee
wish me to take into my mouth aBd nos

Through lhe Kindness Of the supefln-
teudcnt, Mr.. Wcedcu, was permitted to
witness ,he mode Of transmitting ana re-.

ty, the present rate. This delicate iustru-
ment consists Of tiny magnet aud a
small mirror swinging on a sik thread,
the two together weighing but few
grains. The electric current, passing
along the cable from Valencia, defects
the magnet TO and fro. The mirror re-
fleets spot Of light on to a scale h box
placed on the operators right hand where
by its oscillations, the spot OF llgh, indI.
Gates the slght movements OF The magnet
which are too small to be directly seen.
The little swinging magnet follows every
change ia the receiving current; aud
every change, great or small, produces a
corresponding oscillation Of the spots of
light on the scale. A code Of signals Is
arranged by which the movements of the
spot Of light are made to indicate the
letters of the alphabet. When receiving
a message from Valencia, the operator
watches the movement of the little slight
speck, which keeps dancing about over
the scale on his right, To his praoticed
eye each movement of the spot Of light
represents letter OF the alphabet, and It's
seemingly fantastic motions are spelling
out the intelligence which the pulsiugs Of
the electric current are transmitting be-
tween the two hemispbercs. II is truly
marvilous TO note how rapidly the en-
perienced operator disentangles these ir-
regular oscillations of the little speck of
light into the letters and words which
they represent.

in the District of Columbia. Before him
came as plaintiff, a shoemaker and asked
judgment against man for whom he had
made pair of shoes Came also the de-
fendant and made answer that the shoes
did not fit, AS to the issue which was
joined on the aver ment ofthe defendant,
the shoes were the best witnesses, and
they were brought into court and placed
upon the feet of the defendant. That
they would go on Is fact that would
seem to have initiated somewhat against

tendant swore that, being on, they, made

HANpliSe rnE REINs

Most drivers oyerduFe, says Mr.. Mur.
ray, In his book called The Perfect
Horse" They attempt too much, sud 10
SO doing distract or hamper the horse.
Now aud then you fiud a horse with such
a vicious gait that bis speed Is got from
him by the most artificial process; bat
such horses arc fortunately rare, and
heuoe the style OF management required
cannot become general The true way il
10 let the horse drive himself, the driver
doing little but directing him, aud giving
him that confidence which horse alone
gels in himself when he feels that a guide
aud friend is back Of him. The most
vicious and inexcusable style Of driving
is that which SO many drivers adopt, viz:
wrapping the lines around either hand,
and pulling the horse backwards with all
their might aud main, SO that the horse,
in point OF fact, pulls the weight back OF
him with his mouth, and not with his
breast aud shoulders. This they do un-
wv tAlN AAA IAIhHANA itiat HuAA u AtAtl pun
is needed in order to steady the horse
This method OF driving regard as radi-
cally aud superlatiycly wrong. 1t would
tax the ingenuity Of hundred fools to
invent a worse one. The fact Is, with
rare exceptions, there should never b.
any pull upon the horse at all. A steady
pressure is allowable, probably advisable,
but anything beyond this has no iustifi
cation in nature or reason; for nature
suggests the utmost possible freedom of
action and head, body and limbs, In order
that the animal may attain the highest
rate OF speed; and reason certainly for
bids the suppositi0n that by bits, aud not
by the breast collar, the horse is TO draw
the weight attached to it, In speeding
my horse, seldom grasp the lines with
both hands when the road is straight and
free from obstacles. The lines are rarely
steadily taut, but held in easy pliancy,
and used chiefly to shift the bit in the an
imaPs mouth, and by this motion com
municate courage and confidence TO him.
| find that by this method, my horses
break less, and go much faster, than when
driven by men who put the old fashioned
steady pull upou them.

LEvEL-HEADED LovERs.-A singular
marriage was recently made by fascinating
lady school-teacher in Kentucky country
town. First she rejected him, but he behav-
ed with SO much dignity under the mortifca-
tion of her refusal, neither getting drunk nor
hating her, and he manifested SO many signs
Of earnest affection, that she relented and
wrote him note informing him that she had
reconsidered. The young man, all aglow
with happiness, hastened to her side, and in

into the young mans buggy and was driven
to DaDville, where the knot was hastily tied.

groom went about his business, with the un-

The Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel, an excel
lent paper, is going to start daily. We are
glad of it. We started daily once. We
ran it nearly four months and then paused.
Since then we take lively interest in such en-
terprises. We have no doubt the Sentinel
people will make the daily work, and we are
quite positive it will make them work. A
started daily paper misses rare and vaua-
BILE experience. Falling down stairs with
cook-stove will hardly compensate hm.-Dan-
