SINGING Is DEVOTION.

Mr. Beecher remarked, at the open
ing of recent Lecture Room Talk:
1--WE must take incidents as they
come to illustrate truth. suppose any
one brought up as | was, and as most
New England people we're, without much
thought of the meaning of the hymns or
music, would not be surprised at certain
neglects or carelessness of behavior dur
ing singing: I remember seeing my
dear old father in the pulpit, when the
people were singing, take out his pencil
and work away at his sermon; and I've
seen him do the same in prayer-time.
Boy as | was it shocked me. | see the
same thing in the congregation. In the
midst of the hymn, which is. a prayer,
Thou art my hiding-place, Q Lord In
Thee | fix my trust somebody came
andshanded Nh. Halliday a note, and
he, thinking it was good time, came
and handed it to me. | laid it down on
the table.
If | had been praying, and Mr.. Hal
liday had come up and twitched my coat,
handed me the note, and | had stopped
and laid it on the table, you would have
been shocked; the matter would have
been inquired into by the 'deacons. Yet
we were singing:
when storms of fierce temptation beat,
And furious foes assail,
| Ny refuge is the mercy-seat,
My hope within the vail.
From strife of tongues and bitter words
| My spirit flies to thee;
| Joy to my heart the thought affords,
My Savior died for me-"
In the midst of these words | got thu
note The thing was devoutly meant
but it shows the manner in which w,
slight our singing. Many hymns arr
better than prayers. Some of US arr
never SO near to God as in hymns
There are certain hymns that contain
the christians vital blood. | will no
blame you. [ know how you have beer
brought up. Singing is devotion thro
it we can offer up the heart to God
Hymns are not always solemn, but cheer
full and gleeful sometimes In our sing
ing we should be earnest and sincere
the same as in prayer.

A RAM ON THE RAMPAGE.-The Dan
bury Neaos says: A retired clergyman
sends US an account of little affair that
happened in his place., 1t appears that
there was a young woman, a fine spirited
girl, engaged atabwash- tub, opposite an
open door. Just behind her was young
man, as is generally the case. and in the
yard was an old buck that was allowed
the freedom of the premises, which is
not always the case, we are glad to say.
Well, this buck came up to the door, and
looked in, and the young man, going
close behind the young woman, pointed
his finger straight at the ram, and the
old fellow recognized at once the press
ing character of this mute Invitation,
put down his head and dashed forward,
and the miserable man stepped to one
side and fed, and the young woman, all
unconscious of the arrangements. received
the awful shock without warning, and
passed over the tub, and the air for a
moment appeared to be full of slippers,
and wet clothes, and soap, and hot wa,
ter and suds. And the next moment
that goat came flying out that door at q
dreadful speed, bald the whole length Of
his spine, and with q wild look in his
eye. And for an hour afterward h,
stood back Of the barn, scratching hi
chin. and trying to recall all the cir
cumstances of the unfortunate affair.

CIDER AND Pickles FOR FEvER.-
Some two months ago, a resident of De
troit named Broef. was taken Ill with
some sort of fever, and for two weeks
there was but little hope of saving his
life He continued to sink, in spite of
all the physicians could do, and they f.
nally gave him up. ALI through his
sickness the man had continually asked
for pickles and cider, and when he got
so low that his death was considered on
ly question of q few hours, Mrs. Broef
decided to crafty his wishes A glass
of sweet cider was given him, and he de-
clared himself much better for it. More
was given him through the night, in
place Of medicine, and the next morning
the doctor declared that most faYora-
bic change had taken place. Some
strong pickles were procured and given
him, and he began to call for cruel and
broth 70 he brief he is now able to
move around the house, and everybody
in the neigh borhood, as well as the
physician. gives the cider and pickles
the credit Of performing the cure.

THE PASTURAGE OF BEES.

Extract from the Handy Book Of,
Bees, published by Messrs. Blackwood
& Sons, Edinburgh, Scotland: Crocuses
in early Spring receive great attention
from bees Much pollen and some hon
ey are collected from flowers. In some
places there are too kinds of willow
( slick which bear yellow flowers, beau
tifully conspicuous in early Spring,
which are much visited by bees. The
border hyacinths of our gardens-the
same sort as are forced to decorate
and scent our conseryatories- furnish
bees with many sweet mouthful. Sin
gle wall flowers grow largely in some
localities for cut flowers and seeds-are
excellent for bees. The flowers of goose
berry and plum trees are supcrexcellent,
yielding honey Of the finest quality in
great abundance. Apple, pear and cur
rant trees are also of great value to bees,
furnishing the bees with rich and
large amount of honey. Cherry, peach
and apricot are honey yielding plants.
Field mustard, (stnapsis arvensis,)
(which is weed superabounding in some
districts, frequently covering our corn
fields with its yellow flowers, continue a
long time in flower, and the honey gath
cred from it is very clear and excellent.
The flowers of turnips, and all the bras
sica tribe, are exceedingly tempting to
bees, and yield them large supplies.
The strong and rather pleasant scent
of lime trees in flavor, and the music of
bees busy at work on them, indicate that
honey in abundance. is collected from
them in the month Of July. Raspberry
and brambleberry deserve honorable men.

mignonette, heliotrope, buckwheat, and
bird s-foot trefoil (lotus cormicLatas) arc
useful in their day. White or Dutch
clover is the queen of honey-plants. It
is widely cultivated in this country, anc
continues to flower for long time.
Pastures eaten bare by cattle are. O
Z course, not so good for honey as thos,
less severely eaten. And apart alto
gether from the bee keepers view of tn,
matter, the wisdom of the farmer in put
ting too many cattle into his fields. is no
very evident. Bare pastures keep cat

stance in seeking food which, when east
