Waste Products of the Farm.

Waste Products of the Farm - was the
title of II paper read by Prof. Collier of
Burlington, who treated in an exhaustive
and comprehensive manner the mtny de-
tall of his subject SO far us time and pl ce
would permit, and its presentation WAS well
received. The Importance of subject,
one which was early recognized by the
Board, was illustrated by brief intro luc-
tory reference to the ut e ition given in
England, Germany. and France, the more
Important nations of Europe, to the util q

millions upon millions of d. liars, the same
material having been II few years since,

the attention of the fl mers of Vermont,
to see to it that the resources of nature of
which they make use are not wasted and
lost, but that, obedent to the Divine in

storms, and the effects of the destruction
of timber, his hand was often apparent
with disastrous results. Sections of the
State once fertile, are now waster. Ind-
vi ual townships may not be expected to
modify such tnings, but it is t be hoped
that the time will come when more en-
lightened views may prevail throughout
the State on this subject,

utilized. Care was needed in selecting for

Land itself In every town was sub iect to
II waste that could not well be continued.
Efforts in other countries to avoid such
waste were noticeable and of great impor-
lance. A long list of things from house.

as bones, ashes, suds, dish-water, etc. The
c'srca>ses of horses, sheep. dogs and cats,

MINGLED FEELINrS.
We know not on an April day.
How soon the sun NAV yield to showers;
The hawthorn bloom of closing May
still hides the fading of its flowers.
We know not, IN a smiling eye.
How soon the starting tear may tremble:
The heart where JOY may seem to lie
Hath oft most sorrowS to lissemble.
We lit the music that brings back
Dear tnu -inss forgotten pleasure:
Yef meet With SORROW on the track.
Where memory 1Jateth with the measure.
TIL, pleasure of the human breast
Can never quite from pain be singled;
AMI that remembrance Is the best
Wherein the least of grief is mingled.
Down the broad vista life has passed
When cared mem Try seeks indulgence,
She ever in,!s some shallow cast
To clou the suns complete rcfIlSencc.
But, like pictu long laid by,
From wni.-h the gafi-h hues have faded.
Few spots ale all obsrurIiy,
And most are OILY softly shaded

Father, to thee our songs we raise,
Out If the depths We cry;
Gladly we join to hymn Thy praise
And upward lift our eye.
All nature makes glad acclaim;
The woods and soun ling sea
Join in one grand perpetual psalm
OF Thankful ness to Thee.
But natures 10 tl-immortal man
Fails where his slave obeys;
Sin rots hi prayer to dust and chokes
The gIa,i, sweet breath Of praise.
In countless homes where mortals dwell
Thou li-teneth in vain

Nature, prolonged refrain.
Up, Christians, upl on faiths strong wing,
Rise high, and b ess the Lord;
OF Christ and his salvation sing,
Rejoice in Jesus word.

And where his letters once were worn

The spirit of modern infdelity threat
ems to destroy even the peaceable idol
airy of Madras A carpenter had been
working for four months to build de-
cent car Juggernaut at Berhampore,
and turned out vehicle of superior
weight and workmanship. The carpen-
ters unusual success had entitled him
to the doubtful and dangerous honor of
braking the car, with a log of wood
thrust under the wheels. The car was
towed by hundreds of people as usual
through the streets. AS the unwieldy
monster was about to carom against a
block of cheap buildings, the carpenter
ran forward with his brake. Unfortu.
nately he missed his foot-hold and was
pulverized by the enormous wheel
which went over him.
The populace considered the accident
speculatively. One said Juggernaut
was SO well pleased with the carpenter $
fidelity that he translated him to heaven
at once; another, that the carpenter had
given him trouble, IND deserved death;
third, that the roads were so unusual
ly clean and level that their god became
bewildered and lost his head. But the
voice of all the people was full of anger.
They said: "WheIe is his mercy, to
kill the man who for many months has
been building his carr The gods, like
the people, have all become false. :"
There is a rationalistic spirit abroad in
Hindostan.
