JOHN JENKINS SERMON.

THE minister said last night, says he.
Don't DO afraid of giving; ..
If your life amt nothin' to other folks,
| Why, what's tho use O. liviu'r
And that's what say to wife, says !,
There's Brown the mis'rsble sinner,
He'd sooner beggar would starve than give
A cent towards buying . dinner"
tell you our minister's primo, he 10,
But couldn't quito determine,
When heard him a.giving'it it right aad left,
just who was hit bv his sermon.
OF course they couldn't bs no mistake
When he talked of long -winded prsyin,'
For Peters and johnson they sot and scowled
At every word he was ssyin',
And the minister he went on to say,
d" There's various kinds o. cheatin',
And religions as good for every day
A it 10 to bring to meetin',
dont think much of man that gives
The Lord Amens at my preschin',
And spends his time the following week
In cheatin' and Ovcrreachin'."
guess that dose was bitter enough
For a man like Jones to Awaller;
But notice he diden't open his mouth,
Not once, after that, to holler,
Hurrah, says l. for the minister
OF course said it quiet
Give us some more of this open talK,
It's very refreshing diet.
The minister hit 'em every time
And when lie spoke of fashion;
And a-riggin' out in bows and things,
As woman's rulin' passion,
And a-comen' to church to zee the styles,
couldcn't help a-winkin'
And a-nudging my wife, and says l. "Thats
yOu."
And guess it sot her ,hinkin',
Says to myself THAT sermons pat,
But man is queer creation,
And I'm much afraid that most of the folks
Won't take the application
Now if he has said q word about
My personal mode of sinning',
I'd have gone to work to right myself,
And not set here a GRIMM,
Just then the minister says, says he.
"And now I've come to the fellers
Nho've lost this shower by usin' tn cir friends
As sort O. moral umbrellas.
10 home, says he, and find your faults.
Instead of huntin' your brothers,.
10 hOme." lie says" and wear the coats,
You've tried to fit for Others"
dy wife she nudsed, and Brown he winked,
And there was lots o smilin',
md lots O. lookin' at onr pew;
1t set my blood a-bilin',
ays to myself Our minister
Is gettin little bitter;
II tell him when meetins out, that l
Amt ut all that kind of IL critter.'

A Story of Deed Forgery.
BY CARL BRENT.

The recent revelations concerning
deed forgeries, at criminal trial i!
Chicago, have reminded me of a,
Incident that occurred. few year.
ago, in the vicinity of st. Louis
which seems to me to DO worth re
lating.
Clara and Mary Ncrwin, sisters
and orphans, were in the sitting
room of their pleasant home on THE
edge of village near the Missouri
Their mother had been dead sever
al years; their father had lately
died, leaving them an estate, al
they supposed, of the value of some
forty thousand dollars. But they
had learned quite recently that the
property was encountered to such
an extent that they were likely to
be deprived Of it all. The discov.
cry. as may be supposed, filed them
with sadness and anxiety, and they
were seated in silence, unable to
read, to converse, to work, to do
anything but brood over their great
misfortune.
While they were thus occupied
with somber thoughts, buggy
drove up in front of the house, and
man alighted land the buggy drove
away.
This man must have been a little
on the shady side Of fifty, to judge
from his gray hairs, although his
face was fresh and unwrinkled. He
was dressed with remarkable neat
ness, and his manner indicated
briskness as we'll as precision. In
one hand he carried small valise,
and in the other All umbrella, and
he stepped quickly to the door and
rang the bell. In a few minutes he
was ushered into the presence of
the Young ladies'.
"pm obliged to introduce myself"
he said, smiling and bowling in a
stately manrer-"Abner Pierce,
Here is my card-my professional
card. You will perceive that 1 am
a lawyer in st. Louis, and presum.
ably y respectable man. Don't be
l am not here to hurt YOU
but to help you. 1 have the honor
to call myself friend of your fam.
ily; that is to say, although it is a |
number of years since ! have seen |
any member Of said family, / al.
ways had the highest possible re-
gard for your now sainted mother,
md nothing could please me better
han to he Of some service to her
'hildren." .., ............

Farmers.

In a recent address before the
Massachusetts Agricultural College,
DIR. w. Il. Warren of Boston, said
that it is happy circumstance
"that there has never been q time
in our history when the agricultu-
raj class was more highly favored
than Others" when the tillers of the
soil are the only ones that have
abundant and unfailing supplies,
other classes of society are arrayed
against them and prey upon them,
as was the case in the age of feu-
dalism, when the farmer became the
slave of the lord, in return for the
protection which the lord extend
ed to him. But there is another
condition equally unfavorable to the
agricultural interests and to which
American farmers are much more
exposed, and that is, when the farm.
ers are not 80 well off as other clas.
es. This condition Of society re.
suits in a great degree from the dis.
satisfaction which the farmers feel
with their own calling. DR.. War
ren considered the question wheth-
er American society is tending to
diminish the desirability Of the farm
ers' calling. Without attempting to
give definite answer to the ques.
tion, he made some very pertinent
suggestions towards it's solution.
The tendency to continual subdivi-
sion Of labor, he said, must be guard.
Ell against by agriculturists. In the
end it reduces labOrers to MA
chine-like sameness, which is now
the condition Of the Asiatie serfs.
One form of defence, Of which
every farmer may avail himself, is
the responsibility which is placed
upon private citizens, tor the safety
of moral and religious institutions.
A wide field of facts and ideas, mo-
tives and inspirations is placed be.
fore the private citizen, by which
he may be kept from sinking into
the dull routine of the commonplace.
Our government invests each citi-
zen with the prerogatives of royal.
ty. This prevents his ideas OF life
from shrinking down into the mar
row aspirations of the historic peas.
ant. The agricultural education
which is now given to yonng farm
ers destroys many of the forces that
menace farm life in this country.
New fields of knowledge and thought
are open to the young farmer, and
it will probably not be long before
The very tendency which now leads
young men from the farm will here
after draw them to it.

A New FOoD FOR HORSES AM

A New FooD FOR HORSES AND
SHEEP. A favorite and rather a
new kind of mash for horses is com
ing into use, composed of two
quarts of oats, one of bran, and
half pint of flax seed. The oats
are first placed in the stable bucket,
over which is placed the linseed

covering the mixture with an old
rug and allowing it to thus rest for
five hours then stir the mass up
we'll. The brand absorbs while re.
tanning the vapor and the linseed
binds the oats and bran together.
A greater quantity of fax seed
would make the preparation too oily
and less relished. One feed per
day is sufficient. 1t IL easily diges.
tible and is specially adapted to
young animals, adding to their vol
ume rather than to their height,
giving substance to the frame. Pro.
fessor Samson reminds us not to
overlook the food, the nourishment
question, in connection with the
amelioration of live stock. He con.
siders oats, as so generally given to
sheep as Objectionable aud approach
ing the Improbable. Rams gener-
ally receiving one pound OF oats
daily, ewes half that quantity. Oats.
forming an exciting food, are espec-
tally suited for rams during tho
season when they serve; but for
Fastening the development Of young
sheep they only build up the bones,
not the flesh.

CHURCH DEBTS. The one great
reform which is now most impera
lively needed in our churches is q
reform in church building. What
right has any church to 20 beyond
it's available means ? What right
to incur a debt except for pressing
convenience or by obvious necessi-
tyi What right to fund debt, or
leave debts floating for its future
members to pay I What right have
any pastor or people to subject
themselves TO the burden Of a debt
which may overtask their financial
ability, which must prevent their
doing much for other objects(to say
nothing of their being absorbed in
their proper spiritual work. which
is likely to fall on few wealthy or
benevolent members, and which, in
case OF their removal, bankruptcy
or death, can never be paidi What
right to consecrate to the Lord a
house of worship which is built
largely by borrowing, which is
covered with, and may be crushed
by mortgages, which belong really
to its creditors, and may be held
only at their mercy-in short, whose
affairs are conducted with risk
which, in any private business,
would be pronounced fool-h rdy,
