Dark Rooms-Sunshine.

Windows were originally intended
to let in light and air. Modern
housekeepers, however, from the
mansions of wealthy to the cabins
of the very poor, vie with each 9TH
er in shutting out the blessed SUM-
shine and pure air. Windows are
studiously curtained, double, dark
very generally closed. Let the
shades run up easily on rollers at

Sunlight is an element of life.
1t decomposes and scatters, in cons
nection with pure air, the death
seeds. When fevers are epidemic,
in large cities, or in wards of hos~
pitals, the sunless rooms and sides
of streets report a much larger
number of deaths than ever found
where sunlight can enter, even for
one hour a day. Is it from indo-
lence or ignorance, or sheer thought
lessness, that the people seem to
study how to shut out the sunshine

Sensational Preaching

Is having extreme illustration in
Worcester, Mass, now. The Bos-
ton Adpertiser tells of a minister
who has adopted a plan for drawing
audiences that may be effectual but
is hardly commendable. The sub
ject of his installation sermon was,
Never skedaddle. In the interval
since that date, he has preached on
several subjects of like character,
and last Sunday, after discourse
on Religious bugs he announced
his programme of subjects for every
Sunday until the end of July. 1t
is an astonishing lot, worth produc-
ing as Il curiosity Of pulpit cbarlat>
anism.

July 5-The Mad Prophet.

July ga Tragedy in Four
Acts.
The secret of this arrant pulpit
imposture is discovered in some re-
marks made by deacon of his orr
ganization at a conference. He
said 'the preaching there reached
class of unbelievers that 10 other
place of religious worship would
draw. The preacher put forth sub
jects beforehand, not as texts but
as bats to draw in his hearers, and
having got them there he preached
to them the genuine Gospel without
reference to the subjects announced
beforehand as topics of discourse.
It is fortunate that the number Of
clergymen willing to resort to such
devices for the sake of procuring
audiences is not large.

BILE deaf. Fish, the village painter,

One day they were sitting by

was behind the counter waiting for
the next customer, while Fish was
lounGing before the fire with a
thirsty look, casting sheep's eyes
occasionally at Wings decnnters,
and wishing most devoutly that
some one would come in and treat.

says Wing. 'Will you take sugar

Plea for Geese.

The Prairie Farmer permits this
to 60 into print: indispensable
as the pig is, however, in this sys-

goose yields far greater net profit.
Pigs will sometimes have cholera,
and they will occasionally die be-
fore their time, but the goose never.
1t is said on good authority that no
adult goose was ever sick or ever
known to die natural death. They
have been known to live seventy or
eighty years, and their average term
of life is equal to that of a man
They may, if confined, be starved

to become familiar with its natural
resources, they will manage some

that the above is all true, but if the
geese are healthy they poison every
thing else that they come in cons
act with.

Boy K1LLED.-A boy named
Parker: aged seven years, was
killed by several schoolfellows at
Burgh, in Norfolk, England, a few
days since. He was thrown by
them into dyke three or four times
and killed. He was injured so that
he could not get home, and was left
lying on the bank of the dyke,
where he died during the night.
The surgeon who examined the
body said that the lad had a great
and violent struggle with death, for
his hands were clenched and pieces
of grass were between his fingers,
while his countenance bore an ex-
preston of anxiety, dread and fear.
A wound on the temple was the
cause Of death.

TINE DOES IT.-Time has won
derful power in taking the conceit
out of persons. When young man
first erncrges from the school and
enters upon the career of life, it is
painfully amusing to witness his
self-sufficiency. He would have all
the world to understand that he has
learned out that he is master
of all knowledge and can unravel
all mysteries. But as he grows
older, he grows wiser, he learns
that he knows a great deal less than
he supposed he did, and by the
time he reaches to three~score years,
he is prepared to adopt as his own
the sentiment Of John Wesley
when 1 was young, I was sure of
everything; in a few years, having
been mistaken a thousand times, /
was not half as sure of most things
as l was before. At present l am
hardly sure of any thing but what
God has revealed to man.

sought after Nv probably every Sewing
Machine Company in the land, has been
obtained in our Machines that is, an
even, round, bird's-eye stitch on all kinds
of goods, coarse or fine, without the use
OF Cog Wheel Gears, Rotary Cams or
Levers, working silent and smooth while
in motion, is positive proof that it will
continue to run we'll for years without ex-
pense.
