Thinqs that Last.

Let us now look at those things that
twill never wear out"
: / have often heard poor blind girl
sweetly sing, "Kind words will never
die." All! we believe that these are
among the things that "will never
wear out" And we are told in Gods
own book to be "kind to one another,
tender hearted, forgiving one an
other.n aA9
. The word of the Lord will never
wear out. Though the grass shall
wither and the flowers fall away, the
word of the Lord endureth forever.
Il Peter, i. "a, 25.) 90 al tl.
The life of the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world
to come as long as God shall live; but
the death of the wicked will last for
h The joys of the Kingdom of Heaven
will never wear out. The people of
this world soon die; but the enjoy
ments of that'world will never end.
The crown of glory will never wear
out. The crown of the winner in the
Olympic games soon faded; the crown
of kings all wear out; but the crown
of glory will never fade away. Il Pc
ter, v. 4. T1E
The "new song" will never wear out.
We hear sometimes that some of our
tunes are worn threadbare; but that
will never be said of the new song.
Which will you choose-the lasting
or that which wastes away? The
things of time or of eternity Will
you choose wealth, honor, fame or the
joys of heaven, eternal life, the crown
of glory and the "new song ?"
May God enable you to make wise
choice; and, with Joshua, may we
choose to serve the Lord Christian

Dear love did you ever feel
When the shades of night draw nigh,
And starlight often steals
From the twinkllng worlds on high,
As you would like TO dwell
Upon dream-land's fairy shore,
With nothing to break the spell,
Or open the crystal door?
The river of time flows by,
We stop at the magical isle;
Hope reareth her castle high,
wreathing each lip with a smile.
The portals are open wide
BY JOY and pleasure to-day,
Either will be our guide
Leading up the dreamy way.
Wonderous beautiful isle,
Bright in the river OF life;
Catching from heaven its smile,
Stunning earth's sorrow and strife.
Flowers bloom bright In this land,
Whispering softly oflove;
Tended by wee fairy hands,
Near to the portals above.
Ianguage would fail TO express,
All you have been unto me,
Or half the dear tenderness,
Circling forever round thee.
Morning, at noon and at night,
When ere / know you away,
Where danger hangs like blight,
never forget to pray.
That our Father on high
May watch from heaven above,
Bidding his angels be nigh
Where ere your footsteps may rove.
Then when life's daylight shall close,
Softly falls the last even,
May we lie down to repose,
Sure of a meeting in heaven.

AIlegory and Story.


Dean Stanley, in an address at the
unveiling of the statue of John Bun
yam, after quoting Lord Macaulay's
statement that the seventeenth CEN
tury only produced two men of orig
inal genius, John Milton and John
Bunyan, went on to say that there
were only two prose works of univer-
sal popularity in the whole of English
literature. These are the Pilgrims
Progress, written by a Baptist preach
er, non-cOnformist, and Robinson
Crusoe, by a Presbyterian journalist,
and dissenter. The reverend speaker
thought Pilgrim's Progress to be Zone
of the six books" and equal with any
of the six, that, after the English
Bible, have contributed to the COM
mon religious culture of the Anglo
Saxon race. 1t is also about the only
English book that has succeeded in
identifying religious instruction with
the entertainment and amusement Of
both old and young.
A busy, useful, holy life, and none
other, is life of well-doing; is noble
life, though passed in a cottage, is
happy one, though its path be rough
and thorny. In a world where there
is much to do, there is little time for
self-enj and no time for sinful
ones. Like a toiI-worn laborer. weary
in, though not of his work, the Chris
tian may sometimes wish it were con-
cluded, and long for sunset that he
might leave the field to go home; yet
toiling and enduring, bearing others
burdens as well as his own, living not
for himself, regarding every day as
lost which is not marked by some good
done, and regarding himself as the
steward of Gods bounty-not lord
but a laborer in the vineyard-that
man, though he may be weary in, will
not be weary of well-doing.-BO,Unaan.

A bit of glue dissolved in skim-milk and

Mirth and pleasant conversations at table
promote digestion. Unpleasant topics should
be avoided, and generous flow of animal

Crlbbing Horses.

Mr.. Lyman Thayer, of Franklin, Mass,
gentleman who has had large experience
in the care of horses for the past thirty
years, in answer to the question, Chow to
cure 'crib-biting, says he has been quite
successful by mailing "strips of sheep-skin
on the edges of the manger in every place
where the horse could get hold with his
teeth. The skin is put ON with the wool
side up, and If the horse attempts to play
at his old trick or habit he will find himself
pretty effectually gagged. We were shown
an inveterate cribber which appeared to be
thoroughly cured by this simple treatment.
Mr.. Thayer, like most others, considers
cribbing more habit than anything else.
The sheep wool seems to be little disgust
ing to the animal, and as he gives up crib
bing in the stall he appears to forget his
habit when on the street. Cribbing is gen
orally believed to be habit more than a
disease, although if persisted in, it may be
an indirect cause of disease.
Another remedy is to rub red pepper
along the places in the stable where the
horse is accustomed to take hold with his
teeth, and renew quite frequently. One
taste will generally cause the horse to keep
his mouth away, and in tune he will forget
the bad habit.

How Mules came into Fashion.

Few of the farmers of this county are
aware what a depth of gratitude they owe
George Washington for the introduction of
mules into general use for farm purposes.
Previous to 1888 there were very few and
those of such an inferior order as to preju-
dice farmers against them as unfit to COM
pete with horses upon the road or farm.
Consequently there were no jacks, and no
disposition to increase the stock but Wash
ington became convinced that the introduc-
tion of mules generally among southern
planters would prove to them great bles-
sing, as they are less liable to disease, and
longer lived, and work upon shorter feed,
and are m uch less liable to be injured tina n
horses by careless servants.
AS soon as it became known abroad that
the illustrious Washington desired to stock
his Mount Vernon estate with mules, the
king of Spain sent him jack and two ien-
nets from the royal stables, and Layfayette
sent another jack and jennies from the
island of Malta.
The first was gray color, sixteen hands
high, heavily made and of sluggish ma
ture. He was named the Royal Gift. The
other was called the Knight of Malta he
was about as high, fiery, even to ferocity.
The two different sets of animals gave
him the most favorable opportunity of
making improvements by cross breeding,
the result of which was the favorite jack
compound, because he partook of the best
point in both the originals" The general
bred his blooded mares to these jacks, even
taking those from his family coach for that
purpose and produced such superb mules
that the country was all agog to breed some
of that sort, and they soon became quite
common. This was the origin of improved
mules in the United States; though over
seventy years ago, there are now some of
the third and fourth generation of Knight
of Malta and Royal Gift to be found in
Virginia, and the great benefits arising
from their introduction to the country are
to be seen upon every cultivated acre in the
southern states,

The Greatest Discovery of the Age
FOR THE


HNHERE are no diseases so debilitating in
IL their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove O preventive In

Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation Is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk IN Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none Of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson g. Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.
