The Door Unlocked.

Some time since l wished to enter a
strange church with minister little
before the time for service. We pro-
cured key, but tried in vain to unlock
the outside door with it. We concluded
we had the wrong key, and sent to the
janitor for the right one. But he came
and told us that the door was already
unlocked. All We had to do was to push
and the door would open. We thought
ourselves locked out, when there was
nothing to hinder us from entering.
In the same way we fail TO enter into
love and fellowship with God. The door,
We think, is locked against us. We try
to fit some key of extraordinary faith to
open it. We try to get our minds
wrought up to some high pitch of feel
ing. We say, 81 have the wrong key
l must feel more sorry; 1 must weep
more" And all the time the door Is
ready to open if We but come boldly,
with humble earnestness. to the throne
of grace. We may enter freely, at once,
without having to unlock the door.
Christ is the door, and his heart is no:
shut against us. We must enter with
out stopping to fit our key of studied
faith. for His mercy is not locked up.
We mnst enter boldly, trustingly, moi
doubling His readiness to receive Us
"iust as we are" He is willing already,
and We must not stop to make Hin
willing by our prayers or tears.

CARE OF Cows IN AUTUMS.-An enter

communicated to us usrecently his practice
in the management of his cows during
the season when grass begins to tail.

feeding stock successfully, is to keep

flesh and fat that is produced. The
question living still back of that Is, how

Miscellany.
The Instinct in Insects.

Ants and beavers lay up magazines.
Where do they get their knowledge that
it Will not bs so easy to collect food In
the rainy weather as it is in summer :?
Men and women know these things,
because their grandpapas and grand
mamas have told them SO ants Matched
from the egg artifcially, or birds
matched in this manner, have all this
knowledge by intuition, without the
smallest communication with any of
their relations. Now, observe what the
solitary wasp does; she digs several
holes in the sand, in each of which she
deposits an egg, though she certainly
knows not that an animal is deposited
in that egg, and still less that this ami
NAL must be nourished with other ami
mails. She collects a few green flies,
rolls them up neatly IN separate parcels
like Bologna seusages), and stutfs one
parcel into each hole where an egg is
deposited. When the wasp-worm is
Matched, it finds a store of provisions
ready made; and, what is most curious
the quantity allotted to each is exactly
sufficient to support it till it attains the
period of wasphood, and can provide
for itself. This instinct of the parent
wasp is the more remarkable, as it does
not feed on flesh itself. Here the little
creature has never seen its parent; for,
by the time it is born, the parent is
always eaten by sparrows; and yet,
without the slightest education or pre-
vious experience, it does everything
that the parent did before it. Now the
may say what they please, but young
tailors have no intuitive mode of making
pantaloons a newborn mercer never
measures diaper; nature teaches a cook S
daughter nothing about sippets. All
these things require with US seven years
apprenticeship; but insects are like
Molier's persons of quality-they know
everything (as Molier says without
having learned anything. = Sydney

The DEADLY EFFECTS OF ABsISTHE.-
During the session of the Medical Con-
gress at Lyons, one day was set apart
for the study of alcoholic stimulants.
On that occasion the physician of the
st. Anne Asylum, DR.. Magnan. COM
pairing the chemical action of alcohol
and absinthe on man, drew the conclu-
sion that the former acts more slowly,
gradually provoking delirium and di-
gestive arrangement, while absinthe
rapidly results in epilepsy. Then, pro-
ducing couple of dogs, he treated one
with alcohol and the other with essence
of absinthe, this latter being the active
principle of the absinthe liquor which
is commonly drunk. The alcoholized
brute could not stand up, became sleepy
and stupid, and, when set ON his legs,
trembled in an inert mass the other
dogexperienceda at once frightful attacks
of epilepsy. Analogous effects are pro-
duced in mankind.

A SEAsONABLE SUGGESTION. - Don't t
work your orchards and small fruit
gardens late in the Autumn. The effect
of cultivation is to excite growth, and
the late succulent shoots cannot become
fully hardened before the frosts arrive,
when the soil is frequently stirred. But
how about the weeds? That, to be sure,
is a serious nuisance, and requires atten-
ton on the part of all careful neat
owners of gardens. Late in the Autumn
the surface of the ground, especially if
rich, viii be green with the young
growth of the Shepherds Purse Cap

chickweed, (Stelldria mcdia). The
former is a great nuisance, as it starts
so very early in the Spring, indeed be-
fore the frost is entirely out of the
ground, consequently it must be eradi-
Gated in late Autumn. One thorough

ness where these weeds are numerous,
and if after all growth has mstured no
harm will befall the tree. Generally,
Il IS wise not to cultivate trees late in
the season, and when weeds are likely

LARD AS AN USGUESr.-It is well
known that rubbing the body with hogs
fat has the effect of reducing the tenn
perature of the skin in scarlet fever a
gentleman says he has used the fat por-
tion of smoked ham with beneficial re-
suits, and writes to disseminate the fact
for others benefit. A celebrated German
physician recommends to incorporate
one or two grammes of carbolic acid into
one hundred grammes of lard, and,
with this, to rub the whole body, ex-
cepting the head, two or three times q
day, according to the intensity of in
fammation characterizing the case in
hand. The effect of this kind of treat
ment is to produce pleasant feeling o!
GOODNESS, to keep the skin softer, and
after each application the temperature
of the skin falls somewhat. The car.
bohc acid operates to destroy the germs
and spores of the disease.

Best TINE FOR PAINTING Houses.
The best time for painting the exterior
of buildings is late in the autumn or
during the 'Inter. Paint then applied
will endure twice as long as when ap-
piled in early summer, or in hot
weather. In the former it dries slowly
and becomes hard, like a glazed surface,
not easily affected afterward by the
weather, or worn off by the beating of
storms. But in very hot weather the
oil in the paint soaks into the wood at
once, as into a sponge, leaving the lead
nearly dry, and nearly ready to crumble
off. This last difficulty, however, might
be guarded against, though at an in
creased expense, by first going over the
surface with raw oil. BY painting in
cold weather, one annoyance might GER
tainly be escaped, namely. the collection
of small flies on the fresh paint.

THE EFFECTS OF DIET.-M. Cabasson
is credited with having presented TO the
French Academy a curious essay on
that somewhat hackneyed theme, the
effect of diet on the moral and intellec-
tual faculties of man. Its influence is,
in his opinion, very great. In passage
of Lies Miserables, Victor Hugo hkens
French yivacity to the light French
wines, and English ponderosity 10
''por.erbeer ;" and many Frenchmen
are convinced that the distinguishing
traits of the two nations may, in great
measure, be ascribed to the use of these
beverages. But NJ. Cabasson speaks
from experience having experimental
on his own person with various articles
of food. Coffee taken on an empty
stomach appears to have produced most
startling effects. He states that imme-
diately after imbibing it his ideas ac-
quired unusual profundity, his style in
writing was cold but correct, while, on
the other hand. his temper underwent
a pernicious change-that is, he became
morose, egotistical, and generally disa-
greeable. a moderate breakfast re-
stored him to his normal state, and the
disappearance of intellectual profundity
was compensated for by an influx of
genial and generous ideas-such, at
least, being the modest testimony of VI.
Cabasson in his own case.
