II is always ready to deceive you if
you trust it and it is, on the whole,
avery worthless thing, fit only to be
put empty on a shelf, and forgotten
there. The finer and more delicate it
is, the more utter the ruin. A mere
acquaintance, which needs only lit
tie ill.humor to break it up, may be
coarsely putlied, like that old yellow
basin in the store-closet but tender
ness, and trust, and sweet exchange Of
confidence, can no more be yours,
when angry words and thoughts have
broken them, than can those delicate
porcelain tca-cups, which were splint-

iginal excellence. The slightest crack
will spoil the true ring, and You had
better search for new friend than try
TO mend the old one. And all this

There is no UnbeIiei.


There is no unbelief,
Whoever plants seed beneath the sod
And waits to see it push away the clod,
Trusts he in God.
There is no unbclief.
Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky,
BE patient, heart Light breaketh by and by,
Trusts the Most High,
There is no unbelief.
Whoever sees meath winters field of snow
The silent harvests of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
There is no unbelief.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Consents to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
There is no unbelief
Whoever says tomorrow, the unknown,
The future trusts that power alone
He dares not disown.
There is no unbelief.
The heart that looks on when dear eyelids close
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows
There is no unbelief.
And say by day and night, unconsciously,
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny
God knoweth why.

q Comfortable Shoe.

\ Swiss philosopher has taken up
a subject that concerns very closely
the comfort OF the human race and
especially the civilized portion Of it.
They, indeed, suffer the most from
Hitting shoes. The Indian is not
not troubled by his moccasins, nor the
Oriental by his sandals; it's the tight
fitting shoe Of the European and
American that claims a place among
the instruments of torture. The re-
searches ofthe Swiss philosopher, DR..
Hermann Meper, Of Zurich, suggest
some valuable considerations, well
worthy the attention Of the intelligent
artifcers who make boots and shoes.
He asserts that a shoemaker ought
not only to produce shoe that does
not pinch, but a shoe SO constructed
that it will give to foot distorted by
the pinching it has borne already a
fair chance of return to its right shape
and full possession Of Its power as a
means of carrying the body onward.
lie says that in measuring foot for
shoe or boot the first thing to be
considered is the place Of the great
toe. Upon this toe, i'll walking, the
weight of the whole body turns at ev-
cry step in q natural foot; therefore
it is in a straight line with the heel.
a central straight line drawn from the
point Of the great toe to the middle of
its root, if continued, would pass very
exactly to the middle Of the heel, But
by the misfitting boot usually worn
the point of the toe is pressed inward,
the root outward. No last or model
Of foot already injured by wearing
Hitting boots or shoes should ever
be made of the exact size OF such a

An old farmer said to us to-day :
"The farmers do not do as well as
they know" They lnow much bet
ter what good farming is than their
practice shows. They know that
wheat ground should be broken as
soon as harvest is over, yet it is de
layed, They know that all lands not
naturally well drained would be great
ly improved by Undertaking, but
they neglect 1t. They know that lane
can not be kept in good heart anG
productive condition without the Use
fertilizers, yet the practice Of close
cropping and the neglect Of the man
ure heap prevails. While the manure
compost is the farmers bank o.
wealth, it is let so to waste, The
blowing under green crops is known
to add wonderfully to the fertility OF
the soil, but few farmers practice it.
1t is known that it is much cheape.
to raise sixty or eighty bushels ofc
on one acre OF land than on two yet
this fact is neglected, and the land is
so worn by exhausting crops that it is
often hard to produce thirty bushels
per acre. They know that stock that
natures early Is much more profitable
than that which is Of slow growth
yet they stick to the old grades that
require much time and feed to pre-.
pare for market, instead Of procuring
more profitable kinds. They know
that wagons, plows, harows, reapcrs,
&c, will last much longer, and can be
more easily kept IN order when care
fully housed when not i'll use, and yet
they stand cut exposed to the sun on
rain large portion Of the year. They
know that stock carefully housed
through the winter require less food
and keep in better health and flesh
than when left out in the storm and
cold unprotected, and yet they fail t.
provide comfortable barns for their
protection. BY neglecting these lit,
tie but important matters the profits
Of farming are wasted, and more than
wasted, and yet the cry comes up that

If the banker who handles his millions
