The Effects of Worry.

That the effects of worry are
more to be dreaded than those OF
simple hard work, is evident from
noting the classes or persons who
suffer most from the effects OF
mental overstrain. The case
book Of the physician shows that
it is the speculator, the betting
man, the railway manager, the
great merchant, the superintend-
ent of large manufacturing or
commercial works, who most fire.
quently exhibit the symptoms of
cerebral exhaustion. Mental cares
accompanied with suppressed
emotion, occupations liable to
grave vicissitudes of fortune, and
those which involve the bearing
on the mind of a multiplicity of
intricate details, eventually break
down the lives of the strongest.
III estimating what may be call
.
dJthe staying powers of differ
ent minds under hard work, it is
always necessary to take early
training into account. A young
man cast suddenly into posi-
ton involving great care and re-
sponsibility, will break down in
circumstances in which, had he
been gradually habituated to the
position he would have perform
ed its duties without difficulty.
1t is probably for this reason that
the professional classes generally
suffer less from the effects of
overstrain than others. They

Pluck.


The hopelessness of any ones
accomplishing anything without
pluck, is illustrated by an old
East India Fable. A mouse that
dwelt near the abode of a great
magician taking pity on it turned
it into a cat itself. Immediately
it began to suffer from its fear for
a dog, so the magician turned it
into a dog. Then it began to
suffer from fear of a tiger, and the
magician turned him into tiger.
Then it began to suffer from fear
of huntsman, and the magician
in disgust, said: "Be a mouse
again, as you have only the heart
of mouse, it is impossible to
help you by giving you the body
of a nobler animal" And the
poor creature again became a
mouse.
1t is the same with a mouse
hearted man. He may be cloth
ed with the powers, and placed
in the position of brave men, but
he " i'll always act like a mouse !;
the public opinion is usually the
great magician that finally says
to such person, "Go back to
your obscurity again. You have
only the heart of a mouse, and it
is useless to try to make a lion of
YOU"

How to Dress Soil.


First kill the animal in the
most approved style; then as life
is extinct skin the hind legs up
to he hamstrings; then gambrel
and hoist it up; make an incision
high up in the belly about an
inch and a half in length; then
insert the stem of a large funnel
into the incision, and pour into
it from one to two gallons of
cold water, the colder the better.
The application of cold water
cools the intestines and the in
side of the sheep, and at the
same time, fills the chamber and
passes between the intestines and
the flesh, thereby preventing any
contact of the parts and at the
same time cooling every part
completely. 1t also drives out
the gasses at the incision, so that
there is NO possibility of the
meat becoming affected in any
reasonable length of time, which
gives the operator time to dress
themeat properly. This is done
by ripping from hough to hough,
sklnning downward without fur
ther ripping, thereby preventing
the wool or any outside filth from
coming in contact with the flesh.
This, of course, l do as quickly
as possible. Then remove the
remove the intestines carefully,
SO as not to break any of them.
By this mode of treatment you
will find the tallow on the intes-
tines and ON the inside of the an
imal, perfectly cool and rigid

Handling Wet Soil.

On this subject the California
a Agriculturtst, says: ''Better not
do it, because it is an injury to
it-an injury that years of care
full culture cannot remedy
Heavy soil, once puddled and
packed when wet, remains SO for
a long time. Every step a horse
takes on wet soil peaches it. The
pillow turns it over without pull
verizing it, and leaves a stiff
glaze on the burrows. Better lie
idle a few days, or even sow the
grain without plewing, and
scratch it in when the surface
dries off, than ruin or seriously
injure the soil by puddle plowing.
This is the way that many farm
ers iii California have OF rushing
through when they get started,
rain or shine, mud or mellow, re-
gardless of consequence, is not
according to the dictates of COM
mon sense, and is not profitable,
either. Better pay your hired
man to let it alone, than to plowl
the soil when too wet.

Ticks on Sheep.

Some paper has stated that
sulphur fed to sheep will prove
a sure remedy for ticks. This is
true under favorable circnmstan
ces. An occasional feed of one
tablespoonful Of sulphur to one
quart of salt will prove benefi-
cial to the general health of
sheep, and if they are in good
order will keep tick away with
out fail. But no amount of sui
phur will kin the ticks on sheep
which are already overrun with
them and pinched up with too
little food. A daily feed of grain
will prove Of more benefit by in
terposing a layer of fat between
the muscles.

Evil Speaking.

Speaking evil of others is one
of the most unamiable habits
that can be acquired, and one
that leads to infinite mischief !;
it is. not always easy to avoid it,
for there are a great many per-
sons in the werld who are not
what they ought to be, and who
do a great many things they
ought not to do. 1t is hard for
blunt, generous mind to refrain
from expressing itself about
mean people and mean acts;there
is Something in meanness. and
dishonesty that rouses the indig-
nation of such a mind. and it
likes the luxury of denouncing
them in bold, unmeasured terms.
But the practice, as practice, is
a troublesome and a dangerous
one.
There are occasions when it is
our duty to speak out in expos
oure of wrong; but in general, it
is best to abstain from evil speak
ing, even of evil persons. We
are not made judges of others
actions; no one has the right to
assume the character of arbiter
and censor. Even the best of
us have our faults, and if every
one should presume to denounce
the vices and misconduct of 9TH
ers, the world would be given up
to defamation.
We may see and hear much we
do not admire and dislike; we
may become cognizant of many
evil deeds done by evil persons ;
but it is the part OF wisdom and
discretion to pass them by with
out notice, except when speak
ing of them cautiously may be
necessary as a warning to a
friend. E.U az
We have enough enemies in
this world without provoking
Others with ill-tempered COM
ments. ga
The enmity of evil men is a
thing to be, avoided, for while it
can do us no good, it may do us
much harm. J Besides we make
mistakes in the haste of honest
Indignation, and speak evil of
good men for acts we not under
stand. Such a mistake is worse
than the other, for while it is i'm
prudent to promisuously de-
nounce evil men, it is a cruel
wrong to defame good one.

The Master Carr1es the Key.

The mind of a p;ous workman
named Thierney was much occu-
pied with the ways of God, which
appeared to him full Of inscruta-
bic mysteries. The two ques-
tions, "How % and .sWhy 2" were
constantly in his own thoughts
whether he considered his own
life, or the dispensations of prov
idence in the government of the
world. One day, in visiting a
ribbon mandatory, his attention
was attracted by an extraordinary
piece of machinery. Countless
wheels and thousands of threads
were twirling in all directions;
he could understand nothing of
its movements. He was inform
ed, however, that all this motion
was connected with the centre,
where there was chest which
was kept shut. Anxious to un-
derstand the principle of the ma
chine, he asked permission to see
the interior. 'sThe master has
the key,n was the reply. The
words were like a flash of light.
Here was the answer to all the
perplexed thoughts. Yes +; the
Master has the key. He governs
and directs all. 1t is enough.
What need / know more ? "He
hath also established them for
ever and ever; he hath made
decree which shall not pass"
(Ps. 1856.
