Blessings Of Sunlight.

There are few blessings which W" enjoy
here upon this earth-that is, material
blessings-but what come to US through
the agency of sunlight.
Throughout your whole existence you
will find, by following up the same reason
ing, that your most tritiing act, your most
thoughtless movement, has derived its ori-
gin from the sun. A blow with the fist, a
breath, a sigh, can be exactly estimated in
rays of sunshine. Whether you tritle or
whether you work, to make such an effort
you have been obliged to expend so much
strength; and that strength had already
been stored in you by the sun, through the
agency of series of transformations.
Your clothing is all borrowed from the
sun. 1t is he that has spun every thread
of your linen, and fed every fibre of your
cloth and flannel. He either bleaches it
snowy white, or dyes it purple and scarlet
with indigo or nladder. He furnishes
leather for useful service, and furs and
feathers for fnery and parade. He gives
you your bedding; whether you repose
luxuriously between eider-down and wool,
OF stretch your weary limbs on straw,
chaff, Indian corn husks. seaweed, or on
even naked plank, as is the lot of not a
few, it is the sun who gives both the one
and the other. And what do we receive
from re1a ions where the sun, as it were, is
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1874-08-12

not, from the immediate neighborhood o.
either pole? We receive Just nothing
We cannot even get to them. The absenc,
of the sun bars our progress with an i'm
penetrable zone of ice and snow. In like
manner, your butter and cheese are mere
lv solid forms of sunshine absorbed by the
pastures of Holland Or CambridgeShire
Your sugar Is only crystalizel sunshine
from jamaica. Your tea, quinine, coffee
and spice are embodinents of solar influ
ences shed on the surface of China, Peru
and the Indian Archipelago. 1t is th
suns action which sends you to sleep ir
opium, poisons you in strychnine, and
cures in decoctions of tonic herbs You
taste the sun in your sauces, eat him in
your meats, and drink him even in your
simplest beverage, water. Without tn
sun no blood coull flow in your veins :;
your whole corporeal vitality, your very
bodily life is the result of the overflowings
of his bounty.
Nor is that all we owe to onr great GEN.

which we are acq laintel-heat, light.

and alternately assuming each others form
and action, are now believed in all prob;,-

As the season progresses, we are learn
ing by our success and our failures, how

rhe first thing is to have a sufficency of

the roots from standing water, however

proper care, will afford pleasure by its con-
slant blossoming all the season. Again Il
rich geranium in the centre. petuni, per-

cession of flowers. The ivies bestow IL
yracefulness which nothing else seems to
afford with its rank growth. An OCCASION
al Watering with liquid manure is an ad-
vantage. 1t is not any too easy for mere
amateurs to bethink themselves of next
winters window gardening. Slips of Ma
Ieria vine, yoang callas, trtdeschetia, he'll
iotropes, should be potted SO that when
wanted they will have commenced Il Wig
orous growth. As for prop eating by
slips, ut this time of year, only two things
are to be cared for. and these are indispen-
sable; plenty of watersand complete shade.
1t may not be a rule applicable TO all years,
but our roses put out this spring, well
mulched and not watered at all, have all
grown well, and some have bloOmed a
second time. They will get Il good coat OF
coarse stable manure this fall, and triie
of shelter. .-Pr0ridence J0ur1snl.

Oar Noble Women.

The Catholics boast of their Sisterhoods
or Orders. devoted elch to a specific work
By this work the sisters earn their bread,
charity becomes trade, and the women
really work for their support. The Epis-
copallans have tried over and again, since
the Reformation. to set up an order of wO-
men who should initiate, if not rival, the
Romish sisterhoods. Protestant Churches
have not been content to bind woman up
with the svmplthes and duties of domes-
tic and social life; let her become the Joy
full mother of children" and after looking
:" we'll to the WAYS of her own household" !"
devote the overflow of her charity to the
destitute and suffering outside. The az
rangement has worked well, being copied
from the divine model Without being
isolated or set apart, our Christian women
have taken their share in the great rclig-
ious and humane work of the Church.
Nothing goes well in which women has
not share. The Foreign Mission work
was not brought home to the heart of the
Church till the fragile girl from the banks
of the Merrimac consecrated herself to the
mission cause. The Sunday-school work,
the tract cause home missions. and labOrs
among the lOwly and destitute in our cities,
gather their power from the consecrated
labors Of the Christian wives, mothers, and
sisters of our land
When the question was asked, Cannot
something be done to reach and save, at
least the children of the foreign poor oi
our cities?" the heroic women of our
churches answered the question. Women,
whose wealth would have enabled them
% to dwell at ease in Zion" went down t.
/ the Points-then Il dangerous as well aS

done for the abandoned. The police ad-
