How TO DRIVE SHEEP.-Like many
other persons, I handled sheep long
time before acquiring the art of driving
them to the best advantage, when the
sheep are turned on the road without
any help to assist me- The first day
drove eight to ten miles, and got them
in good pasture at night. The next
morning, after getting under way, l
found the sheep were very hard to drive
they wanted to lie down under every
shade, and | labored hard all day, and
only made seven or eight miles ON the
journey; and this was my experience for
three or four days. l began at last to
reflect as to the cause of the sheep driv-
ing so badly, and it occurred to me the
reason was they had filed themselves
during the night, and wanted to lie
down and chew their cud, instead of
travelling on full stomach. resolved
to change my tactics at the next stop
ping place. Accordingly when night
came, instead of turning them into a
pasture field as heretofore, l put them
into nice clean barnyard, and let them
rest all night instead of eating. The
result was that next morning when |
turned them on the road l had to get
before them to restrain them. found
II ecessary to use a long pole to keep
them back, SO marvellous was their anx-
lety to push ahead. The reason for this
change was simply owing to the fact
that the sheep had had good nights
rest, and were fresh and hungry.-Cor.
Am. Farmer.

The Scottish Churches, for some time
past, have been agitating the question
Of forming settlements IN Africa, with a
view TO the suppression Ol the slave traf-
lie. Meetings to discuss the matter
have recently been held, and, as a result,
il i announced that the Church of Scot
land and the Free Church have decided
upon a plan iOr establishing missionary
and commercial settlement at the south
ern end Of Lake Nyaszs,. About EIO,-
JOJ are required for the purpose, and the
principal part Of tlae sum has already
been donated The settlement will be
named Livingston, and is organized for
the purpose Of checking the slave traffic
on the Nyassa.

A NEW VIEW OF DRAINING FLOWER
PoTs.-Mr. Peter Henderson, who grows
hundreds of thousands of pot plants
without drainage, writes to this effect in
contemporary:
The question of drainage is not wheth-
er plants require it or not, we all agree
on that. But the question is in what
way the water passes from the pot;
whether from the bottom or whether
from the sides. We who advocate that
the practice of crocking pots is useless,
claim that nine-tenths of the escape of
moisture is from the sides; they who
practice bottom drainage" ," would sig
nifty by so doing that in their opinion
the escape of water is mainly from the
bottom. If any one wishes to decide
this matter for himself, let him take
half dozen glazed pots, such as water
will not percolate through, let him
knock the whole bottom out if he will,
and 'drain" in the usual way with pot
sherds, charcoal, or anything else he
thinks fit Let him also take half a
dozen of the ordinary style of flower
pot. Fill these up with the same soil as
used for the glazed pots, but without
drainage. Let the same sort of plant be
grown in each pot, and under the same
conditions of temperature and moisture.
Let him note the result three weeks
after the experiment has been made, and
if he does not find that the glazed pots,
with the bottom drainage, show indica-
tions of stagnant water in a greater de-
gree than those in the porous pots, then
all my observations on this subject have
gone for nothing. If | am correct in
this, does it not emphatically prove that
the escape of moisture is nearly entirely
from the sides of the pot, and not from
the bottom, and hence the futility of
placing potsherds in the bottom for
lrainage -INicEi0Gll FIlTDleJ.

The great Bible classes In our city is a
good sign. We are not greatly in fear of
the progress Of iuidelity, or any minor
heresy, so long as there is manifest an
increasing disposition to study reverent-
ly the inspired word. We observe that
Bible class just organized by Rev.
James Freeman Clark, DID, of Boston,
has an attendance Of one hundred and
eighty members. This is small, howey-
er, compared with the number (of most

WHATEVER God has given me, it is
not for myself alone; 1t is to influence,
to some extent others, and to perform a
work for others. And there is no man
SO insignificant that God has not a
special work for him to do. The other
conception would be monstrous. The
machinest makes no useless part of ma
chineIy. The builder places no useless
timber in his building. There is an OBJ
jeet for which every pillar is laid, every
aperture is made There is a reas, d
why every part of a building is formeu
as it is. 1t is for strength or beauty, for
the admission of light, for ingress or
egress. There is a reason for everything.
And so the great Architect of Creation,
the Almighty God, in forming man, puts
no useless man on this earth. Every
man has his place, foundation stone
or a top stone-a part Of the edi!ice. No
man has a particle Of intellect but God
saw necessary for this world, and to be
used for its advancement; and hence
rests on every man the duty of doing
what be can for the world Bishop

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
nent, it viii keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of. and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleteriOus substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING.
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre. and a grateful perfume.

GET YOUR CHILD A PAPER.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted
with newspaper, because he reads of
names and things which are familiar,
and he will progress accordingly. A
newspaper in one year is worth quar-
ter's schooling to a child Every father
must consider that information is con-
neeted with advancement. The moth
er of a family, being one of its heads,
and having more immediate charge of
children, should be herself instructed.
A mind occupied becomes fortified
against the Ills Of life, and is bracei for
emergency. Children amused by read.
ing and study are, of course, more con-
siderate and easily governed. How
many thoughtless young men have spent
their earnings in a tavern or grog-shop,
who ought to have spent twenty dollars
for books fos their families, would have
given thousands to reclaim a son or
u daughter who have ignOrantlY
thoughtlessly, fallen into temptation.

TEE MoRDAUNT DIVORCE SUTr.-The l. II

suit-and in this case before any answer had
been put in-that his wife Is afflicted with
incurshle insanity? The House of Lords have
answered this question in the Affirmative. deci-
ding that there II nothing in the act by which
the Divorce Court WAS called int existence to
prevent petitioner from proceeding with his
salt under such circumstances. In 50 deciding
the Lords have concurred with the majority OF
the Judges before whom the Mordaunt cAse was
brought; that IL 20 say IL We are 20 count the
opinion Of Mr.. Baron Martin, who had retired

In the court below Lord PenZsnce aud Mr.

suit. Lord Chief Baron Kelly took an opposite
view. When the judges were consulted by the
lords, Justices Denmsn, Pollock, and Mr.
Baron Martin concuTred with the Judi Ant of
the Chief Baron, and Justices Brett and Keat-
ing with that of the court below. The question
thus 30 much debated was one of strict law, and
fortunately so; for the hardship on each side
was 80 equally balanced, that there might have
been some difficulty in deciding between them.
