What Christ Did For Us.

Think what the Son of God has
done. He who was God and thus
blessed forever, left the throne
and royalties of heaven, and
stopped to yonder manger.
There he dies; his mother wraps
him in swaddling clothes; he
hangs on her breast, the Infinite
is clothed as an infant, the Invis-
ible is made manifest in flesh, the
Almighty is linked with weak
ness for our sakes. o! matchless
stoop of condescension. If the
Redeemer God does this in order
to save us, shall it be thought a
thing impossible to save vilest of
the vile. Can anything be too
hard for him who comes from
Heaven to earth to redeem. Pause
not because of astonishment, but
press onward. Do you see him
who was God over all, blessed
forever, living more than thirty
years in the midst ofthe sons ofmen
bearing the infrmities of man
hood, taking upon himself our
sickness,and sharing our sorrows,
his feet weary with treading the
acres of Palestine, his body faint
oftentimes with hunger and thirst
and labor, his knees knit to the
earth with midnight prayer, his
eyes red with weeping (for Jesus
often wept,) } tempted in all points
like as we are? Matchless spec
tacle! An incar1Mte God dwells
among sinners, and endures their
contradiction! What glory flash
ed ever and anon from the midst
of this lowliness, a glory which
should render faith in him inevi-
table. Thou who did'st walk the
sea, thou who did'st raise the
dead, it is not rational to doubt
thy power to forgive sins! Did'st
thou thyself put it so when thou
badest the man to take up his bed
and walk What is easier to say
Thy sins be for given thee: Or
to say, rails up and walk? As
suredly he is able to save the ut
termost them that come into him.
He was able even here On earth
in weakness to forgive sins, much
more now that He is seated in
His glory. He is exalted on high
to be a Prince and a Savior, to
give repentance and remission
of sins.

How to Feed Corn Stalks Pro-
fitably.

The rearing and feeding of an
imals is receiving, as it should,
from farmers and herdsman in all
parts of the country, greater at
tention every year, and especi-
ally is this true of dairymen, whose
only hope of gain rests in their
success in obtaining paying yields
from their cows. Corn stalk en-
ter largely into the fall feed of
diary cows, and how to feed them
is the important question. The
common practice is to feed in the
bundle, and but few farmers feel
able OF willing to use a cutting
machine. This feeding in the
bundle any preparation, l am
fully satisfied,is very wasteful, as
not only are the butts left, but
frequently nearly the whole
stalk.
| have learned by experience
that a little brine sprinkled upon
stalks every day, just before feed
ing, is of material advantage in
many respects. The weak brine
will cause the cows to consume
nearly all, even when fed whole;
the flow of milk increases, the
condition of the cows improves,
and they show greater content
ment, especially is this last re-
mark true on cold, windy and
rainy days. l find it much better
as a general rule, when it can be
done; to feed salt on the food, in
stead of feeding it alone. In no
case should more than one day
be permitted to pass without
brining the mornings feed. The
brine should not be strong, only
enough to furnish sufficient salt
to the cows.
OF course the cows should have
access to plenty of water, this
brine food will cause them to
drink more, and thus increase the
flow of milk. Let my brother
farmers try this and they will
thereafter place a greater value
upon corn stalks.-Liye Stock,
Farm and Fsreside Journal.

What God Elesses.


God blesses very slender things
to the conversion of souls. 1t is
very humblilg, sometimes, to a
preacher who thinks; Well l
did preach a pretty fair sermon
that time, to find God does not
care a pin about him or his SER
mon,and that a stray remark he
made in the street which he hard
ly thought was any value what
ever was what God has blessed;
that when he thought he had sue
Ceeded best he had done moth
ing, and when he thought he had
succeeded worst then God bless
ed him. Many a soul has had
his eyes opened by an instrumen-
tality which never dreamed of
being so useful, and, indeed, the
whole way of salvation is in itself
extremely simple,so as to be well
compared to the clay and spittle
which the Savior used. We do
not find souls converted by bodies
of divinity. A great many have
been received into church, but
were never converted by a pro-
found theological discussion. We
appreciate eloquence, and ha We
not a word to say against it by
itselfbut evidentlyit has no power
spiritually to enlighten the un-
derstanding, neither does it
please God to use the excellency
of words for conversion. When
Paul laid aside human wisdom
and said he would not use the ex
cellency of speech, he only laid
aside what would not have been
of much service to him. When
David put off Sau's armor, and
the stone, he slew the giant, and
giants are not to be conquered
to-day any more than they were
then by the champions arrayed
in Saul's armor. Keep to the
simple things, to the plain gospel
plainly preached.

Cheap Gate.

The old practice of building
farm gates with heavy four-by
four scantling for posts and end
pieces, and oak boards riveted to-
gether, tenanted, ect., causing an
expense of from three to five
dollars gate, and an everlasting
trouble to keep the gate when
hung from sagging. l long since
abandoned. As a substitute and
of forming a gate that has never
sagged for ten years, l take five
pieces of inch boards each ten
feet long, one eight enches wide
for the the bottom strip,and each
of the others four inches wide.
l then take one piece four inches
wide for one end upright,and one
piece where the hinges ought to
be. These strips are four feet
long, that being high enough for
any gate for ordinary purposes.
Now lay down your end pieces,
then place the eight inch wide
and ten feet long strip for the
bottom, nail it at each end to the
upright with wrought nails, now
take three of the four inch wide
strips and lay them on parallel
with the bottom one, dividing
the spaces so as to leave four
inches between the lower two
boards, and six inches each space
between the upper ones, nail as
before. Now turn the gate over,
and take the remaining strip, lay
it in angle from the bottom, at
the hinge end, to the top at the
latch one, cut it so that it will fit
in and lay close to the long strips;
nail it. Now hang the gate
with strong hinges and you have
a gate that is light and will not
sag and just as perfect protec-
ton against cattle as one made
by the joiner, and costing as
named above, from three to five
dollari.
Any person can put together
and hang the above named gate
in twoh ours.-Ohio Farmer.

The Gospel.

The Gospel is an anthem from
the harps of heaven, the music of
the River ofLife washingits shores
on high, and pouring in cascades
upon the earth. Not so cheerful
was the song of the morning stars
nor the shouts of the sons of God
SO joyful. Gushing from the
fountains of eternal harmony, it
was first heard on earth in a low
tone of solemn gladness, uttered
in Eden by the Lord God himself.
This gave the keynote of Gospel
song. Patriarchs caught it up,
and taught it to the generation
following. 1t breathed from the
harp of the Psalmist, and rang

will and does relieve and cure the affecting
