OF What Profit is Knowledgee

A man may know all about the
rocks, and his heart remain as hard as
granite or addnant; he may know all
abort the winds, their courses and their
currents, aud be the sport of passions as
turbulent and fierce as they; he may
know all about the stars, and his fate
be the meteor's that blazes for little
while, and is then lost, quenched in
eternal night; he may know all about
Ihe sea, and be a stranger TO the peace
of God; his soul may resemble its
troubled waters, which lashed by
storms and rufiled by every breath of
wind, cannot rest, but throw up mire
and dirt; he may know how to rule the
spirit of the elements, and not know
how to rule his own; he may know
how to turn aside the deadly thunder
bolt, but not the wrath of an angry
God; you may know all in short, that
man fas discovered or his skill invent
ed, but if you do not know Jesus
Christ, if your eyes have never been
open to a saving knowledge of the
truth, what will that avsil you, glazed
by the hand OF death? Equally by
the deathbed of the greatest philosG-
pher, az of the hardest miser that ever
ground the face of the poor, there is
room and reason for the solemn ques-
ton: "What shall it profit a man if he
shall gain the whole world-all its
learning, its pleasures, and honors-
and lose his own soul?"-Dr. Guthrie.

Granger,s Dream.

The Lanark, Ills, Gazette, a staunch
Granger paper, publishes the follow
ing, which is too good to be lost. b
A Granger dreamed that he died; he
went straight to the spirit-world;
knocked at the gate of the New Jeru-
salem, and it was opened unto him.
The books were opened; he was asked, !,
did you ever belong to any secret
societies?' to which he replied, L did;
to the Changers Then, sir, you cam
not be admitted; depart He then
went to the bottomless pit, where the
same questions were again asked him
by the devil, and again he was told to
depart. After he had gone little way
off, he was accosted by the homely
ruler of the pit, when. the following
propositions were made: Stranger
says Nick, Il will,not admit you here
they do not want you in heaven; but
will sell you two hundred barrels
of birthstone for cash, ten per cent off,
and you can start little hell of your
own, with no agents or middle men,

An Australian Funeral.

q Awriter in the Milbourne .TOwn and
County gives the following interesting
account of funeral among the semi
savage natives OF Australia go Sf
The body was first carried away some
half mile, and covered over with
leaves and branches, being watched by
the Lubras. Then fires were lit on
high mountains, and made emit large
volumes of smoke, bidding the men,
bers of the tribe within sight to haste
to the spot, they again, as 1 understood,
thus telegraphing TO others further
away. By the following morning
many had arrived, and shortly after
sunrise arose, and continued IA long
time those native walls, to which I
know of nothing to liken them, and
which we could distinctly hear-wails
of strange, quivering cadence of most
melancholy sound, borneupon the keen
morning breeze = t
Which, echoing bach from mount and hill,
Rolled on the wintry air, to fill se
With dirge of death Ger savage rung,
By wild and untaught voices snng.
2 Then commenced after a while the
-us-InOet revolving ceremony, perform
ed by three blacks, of each eating a
morsel oftbe departed one. Zsyl -
This is almost, you might say, q
species Of relious superstition, they
virtually believe that with the swal-
lowed portion all narrowing regrets at
the loss which death has brought them
are dissipated; and If they do not eat
thereof they will grieve to such an ex-
tent as to cause their aeath or some
dire calamity. Indeed, this belief is so
strong among the wild ones that its
non-fulfillment produces a species of
consumption or wasting away, and the
being becomes haggard and emancipa-
ted, eventually often in reality dying.
Some days after they had buried the
remains a mob came up from the far
country, and the bones were exhumed,
the late arrivals smelling the poor clay,
and departing again in peace and tran

Useful Hints.

A lady, writing to the Country Gen.
tleman, thus recapitulates come of the
valuable suggestions she has had the
good sense To learn, from her servant
girls. She says: The other day Mary
was ironing and asked for piece OF
sandpaper to rub her irons on. I was
astonished that / never thought of il
before; it is so nice, removes every bit
OF starch or anything else, and makes
them so smooth. -szl1,, -
One girl taught me that old corsets
make the best stove cloths. Just one
half at time Is o convenient size.
They are ready made and much better
when unfolded, to take hold, of any
thing with, than made holder, and
much easier to wash. Just throw them
in with the brown fowls, as many as
you happen to get during the week,
and they come out clean and ready to
use again. 81 ~ t...-,- =, IA 'iss 9 -
= Another girl pours hot water on the
blades only of steel knives ard they
wipe easily and do not need drying.
Another one told me the best way to
keep hams and dried was to pack il in
dry salt. We have tried it several
years, with perfect success. An old
salt barrel is convenient. Set 1t in
some cool, dry place; put quite thick
layer of salt in the bottom, then pack
in the hams, using the Lieces Of bried
beef, If you have any, for chinking;
cover with salt, then hams; and salt
again, till the barrel Is full. There is
not the least danger from insects, II
the hams are smoked and the beeI
dried and put away early before the
or oats or anything of that kind. as
