Gods Care Over Us.

The Lord is good and merciful. He
watches over us, and guides US in the way
we should walk. If we obey him, he will
protect us in the midst of dangers. How
he keeps us through trials and affections.
Sometimes he lets US see, after it is all passed,
how he has been with us, and protected us.
Perhaps, like Christian, in the "Valley and
Shadow of Death, - We were not at the time
fully aware of the real dangers through
which we we're passing, but God knew all,
and by his own hand, led us safely through.
He is continually on the. Lockout for our well
fare, and why, then, should we not follow
him where he leads us?

An Italian School.

Dr. Field, in the Evangelist, gives the fol
lowing account of the Sunday School eStab-
lished at Venice, by Mrs. Harris, wife OF
the American Consul at that place "She
called for us yesterday morning at our hotel,
and took us in her gondola to see the Sun.
day School, in which there are about hun
dred pupils. 1t was only necessary to look
at the faces of these children, taken out Of
great poverty, to see in their scrupulous
neatness, and order and attention, and
prompt answers to questions, that they had
made great progress, and were going through
a gradual course of mental, moral and social
elevation. The words of their hymns We
did not understand, but the tunes were the
same which we had often heard in the Sun
day Schools of our own land. Indeed it
looked altogether like one of the mission
schools in the city of New York. With the
Sunday School is connected day school,
and the specimens shown of writing and
drawing of maps were quite remarkable. In
the same building is chapel where there is
Protestant preaching every Sabbath. The
pastor was absent at the Waldensian Synod
in their mountain valleys. Such is the most
interesting work which has been sustained
hitherto by private subscriptions, secured
chiefly by the efforts of our heroic country
woman.

THE PENNY YE MEANT TO GLE.

THERE's is a funny tale of a stiugy man,
Who was none too good, but might have beer
worse,
Who went to his church on Sunday night,
And carried along his weL,6lled purse
When the sexton came with his begglng'plate,
The church was but dim with the candies hight
The stingy man fumhled all through ms purse
And chose a coin by touch and not sight.
It's an odd thing now that guineas should be
So like unto pennies in shape and size,
"Tn give penny, the stingy man said
THE poor must not gifts Of pennies despise'
The penny fell down with clatter and ring
And back in his seat leaned the stingy man
'eThe world is so full of the poor" he thought
81 can't help them ALL give what l can
TIA, haI how the sexton smiled, to be sure
To see the gold guinea tall in his plate!
Ha. hal how the stingy mans heart was wrung,
Perceiyiug his blunder, but Just too late?
"No matter he said; ''in the Lords account
That guinea Of gold is set down to me,
They lend to him who give to the poor;
II will not so bad an investment De.
INA, ma, mon, " the chuekIRg sexton cried OUT
'sThe Lord is ma eheated-he kens thee Wen
He knew it was only by accident
That out O. thy fingers the guinea fell!
she keeps an account, ma doubt, for the puir
But in that account He'll set down to thee
No mair O. that golden guinea, my mon,
Than the one bare penny ye meant to 81 e!
There's a comfort, too, in the little tale
A serious side as well as sjoke;
A comfort for all the generous poor,
In the eomical words the sexton spoke.
A comfort to think. that the good Lord knows
How generous We really desire to be,
And will give Us credit in his account
For all the pennies we long ''to gfe."

Rlanketing Horses.

1t is not unusual for over kind and very
careful people, in very cold weather, to put
on a heavy blanket under the harness of
their horses when about to drive to town or
church. This practice, although intended
as a humane one, is by no means to be re,
commended. While the horse is performing
his work, there is no danger that he will
suffer from the severest cold, or that bis nat
ural clothing will not be enough. Indeed,
unless his work is very slow, perspiration
will be excited, and the moisture thus arising
would be retained by the blanket instead of
being Immediately dissipated into the air
The consequence is, the moment we stop,
our horse stands in the cold winds with a
wet blanket over his whole body, the effect
of the evaporation of the water being to
make him much colder than he would be if
the blanket were then taken off. The true
plan is, in cold weather never to blanket a
horse while he is taking bis exercise and
never allow bin to stand moment without
blanketing with dry blanket when his ex-
ercse has ceased. So true is this that the
most careful and experienced owners and
drivers of fine horses find it advantageous to
remove even the heavy coating of hair that
nature supplies for the winter season, so that
there may be no accumulation of moisture
about the skin in consequence Of heating
work and to supply its place, at all times,
when the animal is at rest, by a warm cover

Mr.. GLADSTONE AT HoME.-A Liverpool
paper states that two hours before the meeting

telling trees For portion of two days he
had been welding the axe upon large tree
in lane at the outskirts Of Hawarden vii
lage, and he succeeded in bringing it to the
ground late in the afternoon Those who
saw him say that he went to work in true
woodman fashion, with his braces thrown off
behind him and his shirt collar unfastened.
After completing his task he walked home
with his axe slung over his shoulder, and two
hours afterwards was at the meeting, look
ing not tired and weary, but quite refreshed
with his bodily labor.

THE BURIAL The funeral OBJ
sequies of the late Lyman j. Ray.
was attended by a numerous con-
course of citizens on Sunday after
noon. The ceremonies at Masonic
Hall were conducted by the Order
in an impressive manner, the burial
rites being read by Worshipful
Master McDuffie. The Rev. Mr.
Hurd then delivered a very appro-
pirate and able sermon, at the con-
clusion of which the solemn cortege
followed the remains to their last
resting place, in Silver City GENE
terry. And thus it is that Time in
its speedy flight carries out the
immutable laws of Nature. The
coming in. of life and its going
out-the cradle and the grave--are
but the veriest breath apart. Like the
lighting of taper, the spark is born
the fame fiickers for moment
and all is darkness again.

THE VIRGINIA CITY COAL Com
PANY's New RoAD.-We have it on
what we deem good authority, that
the Virginia City Coal Company are
now in condition to take out $50
tons of coal per day from the mine,
and that three mills have already
contracted with them to supply
their furnaces with coal, and that
this arrangement will 60 into effect
within the next ten days. A new
wagon road from the Carson river,
near the Franklin mill, three miles
above, to the mines, has been run
out, and that the proposed road,
with grade susceptible of becom-
ing the road bed of narrow gauge
railroad in time, will be surveyed
and opened within a few weeks.
The new route is said to be two or
three miles shorter than the one
through Ell Dorado Canyon, and of
easier construction. This looks like
business.
