MAKE MOTHER HAPPIER.

"Mother's cross" cried Maggie, coming
into the kitchen, with pout on her lips. Her
aunt was busy ironing, but she looked up and
answered Maggie:
"Then it is the very time for you to be
pleasant and helpful. Mother was awake a
great deal in the night last night with baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put on her
hat and walked off into the garden. But a
new idea went with her.
"The very time to be helpful and pleasant
is when other people are cross. Sure enough"
thought she, that would be the time when it
would do the most good. I remember, when
was sick last year, was so nervous that if
any one spoke to me, could hardly help be-
ing cross; and mother never got angry or out
of patience, but was ust as gentle with me. l
ought to pay it back now, and l will"
And she sprang up from the grass, where
she had thrown herself, and turned her face,
full of cheerful resolution, toward the room
where her mother sat soothing and tending a
fretful teething baby. Maggie brought the
pretty ivory bells and began to jingle them
for the little one. He stopped fretting, and
smile dimpled the corners of his lips.
"Couldn't take him out to ride in his car.
riage, mother? 1t is such nice morning"
she asked.
81 should be glad if you would" said the
mother.
The little hat and sack were brought, and
baby was soon ready for the ride.
II will keep him as long as he is good"
said Maggie, "and you must lie on the sofa
and get nap while I am gone You are
looking dreadfully tired"
The kind words and the kiss that accompa-
MED them were almost too much for the moth
er. The tears rose to her eyes and her voice
trembled as she answered.
"Thank you, dearie it will do me world
Of good if you can keep him out an hour; and
the air will do him good, too.. My head aches
badly this morning"
Whata happy heart beat in Maggie's bosom
as she trundled the little carriage up and
down the walk She had done real good,
She had given back little of the help and for,
bearance that had so often been bestowed upon
her. She had made her mother happier, and
given her time to rest. She resolved always
to remember and act upon her aunt's good
words:
"The very time to be helpful and pleasant
is when everybody else is tired and CROSS

BEATEN AT His Own GAME.-A merchant
in New York stopped in front of furniture
store on his way to dinner, to look at bed
room set worth eighty dollars, and remarked
to the dealer that he admired it very much,
and asked if eighty dollars was the lowest
price, which was found to be the case. The
merchant went home and mentioned the fact
to his wife. On his return home at night, he
found the bedroom set had been put up at his
house in his absence, his wife supposing he had
sent it as surprise. But he denied ever buy
ing it.
It occurred to him, however, that a lawyer
might be Of some service, and he remembered
needy little fellow down town, whom he
called on and stated his case. The lawyer
said, Every we'll keep the goods, and leave it
with me-"
Not long after, summons was served on
the merchant for the price of the set; this he
took to the lawyer, and asked him what else
should be done.
30, nothing" said the attorney, "leave it
all to me-
"But don't you want me as witness?"
"No, leave it all to me-"
Trial day came and passed, and the mer-
chant, not little nervous, called to learn the
result, asking his legal friend how it came out.
Cali right" said young Blackstone, call
right the furniture is yours"
"But what have I to pay for it ?"
Nothing"
"How can that be?'
easy enough; he puts one witness on the
stand to swear you bought the goods. l ad-
mitted it. I then put two witnesses on the
stand to swear they saw the sale, and saw you
pay eighty dollars cash for it. Of course
won."
This was conclusive.
s@-In Scotch country parish, not long
ago, there lived church officer who had filled
that Office and that of grave digger for the
long space of fifty years. Suspicion had long
been entertained that he was in the habit Of
helping himself out CT the collection plate,
whenever opportunity permitted. 1t was diff:
fcult of course to prove this. At last, how
ever, the sum of one pound was abstracted
from a missionary box which stood in the
vestry, and everything combined to point out
this man as the culprit The elders told the
minister that something must really be DONE
The minister said, "Leave him to me, and I'll
see what can be DONE" The following Sab
bath, after the forenoon service, the minister
was taking of his gown and bands, and, being
alone in the vestry with the suspected man,
he thought the opportunity was too good to be
lost, so he said, ANDREW, have you heard Of
the money that is missing from the box"
80, ay," said Andrew, 81 was hearing some
thing about it," "Andrew," continued the
other, very gravely, "the matter lies between
you and me- We are the only two who have
access to the box. Either you or must be
the thief" Deed, SIR" rejoined the imper-
turbable Andrew, "it's just as you say; we're
the only twa that has had access to the box,
and 1 think the best woy'll be for you to pay
the half and l pay the tther, and say nae
moor aboot it."

same principle that physicians administer
whisky or brandy to their patients. Give a
we'll man whisky or brandy and nothing else,
and he must die. 1t will avail nothing to say
that whisky is made out of corn or rye, and
these are when mechanically prepared, good
for food. Whisky is a chemical preparation,
a powerful stimulant, but when injudiciously
used it produces great prostraton. Just so
with chemically prepared fertilizers. When
judiciously used they exert good effect upon
the soil, but when used improperly they will
kill it and break the owner of the land besides.
The object which should be constantly kept
in view in manuring land, is making the land
permanently rich. This object can never be
accomplished by the present mode of using
commercial fertilizers. The soil is forced with:
out giving it any soil food. On the subject of
fertilizers, as upon many other subjects, South
ern farmers have ultra views. Many depend
wholely and absolutely upon fertilizers, and
make no manure on their plantations This
class of farmers may make large crops, but
they are not making much clear money.
Those farmers who make large quantities OF
manure on their farms and buy only small
quantities offertilizers and use them as stimu-
lants are, if they manage we'll in other re-
spects, making money.
The proper place to use chemical fertilizers
is on good land-on land that is strong rath'
er than active. Every farmer knows that
there are some kinds of land that act sluggish
ly. On such land, these chemical fertilizers
subserve most excellent purpose. No man
ought to expect to make clear money on poor
land, by the simple use of fertilizers.

Sowing Wild Oats.
BY NET VALENTINE.

Sowing his wild oats, deep in each heart
To bring forth sorrow and pain,
Causing each one when with him they part,
To wish they'll ne'er meet him again,
Sowing his wild oats wherever he passes,
Till he rolls In the ditch, to his sleep;
But little he thinks how true Ii was said,
Whatsoever he sows he shall reap.
Sowing his wild oats, to destroy each Joy
or her who hath loved him dear:
Causing each day to be pass d meath cloud,
And the nights to be darkened with fear.
Sowing his wild oats, to cause the gray heir
OF father, once strong and brave;
Who cared for his childhood now child HIMSELF
In sorrow to sink In the grave.
Sowing his wild oats, that 1t may be said
or his daughter, so gentle and mild,
She's a handsome, intelligent brave, good girl,
But then, she's d'uakdrd's child.
Sowing his wild oats, In spite OF the prayers
OF a mother, most faithful till death;
Filling his own soul with horror and dread;
Fast approaching the day OF his death.
Sowing his wild oats, o, God, may he heed
The missve which came from above;
May he gladden. the hearts Of wife, parents and
child.
BY learning his Savior to love.
