The Truth Of Christianity.

ICLAIM for Christianity more than suf-
ficient evidence to prove Its truth and di-
vine origin. Its light increases at every
step Of honest inquiry. Ifoof after proof
adds its radiance till the mind is filled
with the light of truth, just as, at the close
Of a summers evening twilight, star aft
er star flashes out from its hiding in the
sky, until the whole broad arch of heaven
is lighted up in one blaze of glory. 1t
is Just here that modern doubt makes one
of its damaging mistakes. Some one ar
gument of Christianity is criticised by an
able mind, and at once it is assumed that,
this argument being broken, the whole
structure must fall. Skepticism forgets
that there are a hundred others which
hold, whatever be the fate of this, and
that all united make the strength of the
Christian argument. 1t forgets that the
slender thread which the silkworm spins,
though you might break it with your lit
tie finger, yet may be twisted into q cable
strong enough TO bear the strain of a loco
motive or to hold at anchor all the ship
ping in New York harbor. Just so with
the evidences of Christianity. You do
not fairly test their strength till you see
them in their united force. Yet there are
many separate, infallible proofs, each n
of which, standing alone, is sufficient to
satisfy any doubling Thomas if he is hon
est and fair minded. -Rer. s. 4. ". Jep-

How Fifty Dollars Was Lost and Won.

Our friend, the old Colonel, is con-
t~inually making investments on a small
scale which disappoint him in their re-
suits. He has a spendthrift of a young
nephew, who wrote to him from st. Louis
the other day, saying:
"DEAR UNCLE-Thcre is a fellow down
here who offers to bet me a hundred-dol
lar greenback that nobody will lend me
that amount of money. Now, l have
taken the bet, and if you will write me a
letter inclosing a draft for 800, saying
you lend it to me, l will divide with you
equally the 800 that | will win from the
fellow. l will send the $50 by the very
first mail-sure."
He sent the young scapegrace the 800.
We happened in his Office when he opened
the return letter, a day or two a~fterward,
i%nclosing $50. The Colonel shook his fat
sides as he read the nephew's missive,
which ran thusly:
Hurrah! We've won the FOOLS money,
dear uncle. Here's your $50. Much
obliged. Yours, Tom"
Hes a reckless rogue, the boy is" re-
marked the Colonel, but you see he is
honest. He does as he agrees-all our
family always do that"
"But, Colonel" we remarked, "you
say you sent the boy 500"
"Yes-a draft for 800, and here, you
see, he sends me my half prompt as the
clock"
"And you say that nephew is honest,
and has done the fair thing?"
"Certainly-dont you see,-here's the
$50"
eyes, but where is the 800 you sent
him"
The Colonel's smiling face suddenly be-
came grave-he scratched his head,-then
pulled his mustache-then looked at us
for a moment with eyes and mouth wide
open.
"Sure enough" he muttered; &" l hadn't
thought of that. He ought to have sent
me $3.50. The young rascal has done me
out of $50 clean as a whistle! Well,
well! l am an old fool, that's a fact"
And the old Colonel pocketed his $50,
tore the nephew's letter into little bits,
threw them upon the floor and stamped
his right foot upon them with savage dis
gust,-CHicHg0 ,JOu,nnL.

Suicide Of a Rooster.

THE San Francisco Bulletin is respon-
sible for the verify of the following mar
rative: Thomas Roach, keeper of a
chicken ranch on the old San Jose road,
purchased, several months ago, a lot of
fine cropple- crowns, which he kept aloof
from his less aristocratic fowls in a small
yard. The chief of this family was a
large black bird Of an exceedingly naughty
disposition. He was monarch of all he
surveyed till about q week since, when
Roach procured a white bird of the same
breed and turned it into the yard of
cropple-crowns. The two male birds i'm
mediately Joined in battle, which, after a
gallant display of courage by both con.
testants, resulted in the defeat of the
black cropple. The unsuccessful bird
took its defeat sorely TO heart. In fact,
life was no longer worth possessing, since
honor had departed. The bird was seen
trying to kill itself with its own spurs.
Not succeeding, it tried to jam its head
finder a gate, but again failed. 1t flew
upon a barrel half filled with rain water,
and, after carefully surveying the situa-
ton, plunged into the cask. Roach ran
out and found the bird with its wings
closely folded to its side, its beak open,
and apparently ~endeavoring TO repress the
natural struggles at self-preservation. 1t
was speedily rescued from its dangerous
situation, but refused to take II further
interest in life; and after a few days of
mental torture and physical suffering it
entered that eternal rest which was the
one remaining desire of its heart.

Gas Dirty as a Hog"

THE expression originated with a dirty
fellow who had some hogs that would
have kept themselves clean if they had
been allowed a fair chance. He never
gave them a fair chance, however, or an
unfair chance. In truth he did not allow
them any chance at all. They were fed
dirty food in a dirty trough, the first being
brought in a dirty pail from a dirty
barrel. The pen and yards were appar-
emily so constructed as to retain all the
dirt that naturally accumulates in such
places and to keep out everything that
is clean. The yard wa on low ground
and had no drainage. In the course of
getting out manur during several seasons
it was followed out in the shape of a
faring-dish. Water once in it remained
till it was evaporated. Whenever there
was anything about the house, barn or
out-building too offensive to be tolerated
there it was thrown into the hog-yald.
When the cellar was cleaned out in the
spring or fall all the half.rotted apples,
potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables
were thrown into the hog-yard.
The hog-yard was cleaned out once q
year. 1t was done not with a view of
having a clean place for the hogs, but for
the purpose of obtaining some manure for
a field Of corn. The farmer thoughtthat
as his COWS and horses were clearly ami

The Bashful Young Man.

He deserves pity, but he is universally
laughed at.
He is painfully conscious of existence
wherever he goes, and it would doubtless
be a mercy to him if he could cease exist
ing now and then long enough to recover
his composure.
His feet and hands are always wonder
fully in the way, and a large portion of
his time is passed in the melancholy
task of measuring his two thumbs, as it he
were not altogether certain whether they
were mates or not. He contemplates the
toes of his boots for hours together, with
a face as grave and sage as if these same
toes were the "vague, mysterious FUTURE
of which we hear so much, and he was
seeking to penetrate its secrets.
He cannot walk across the room with
out turning up the corners of all the rugs
in his pathway, and if he does not tip over
the ottomans and sweep the ornaments of
the center-table with his c~oat-tails he may
esteem himself fortunate.
Every time he passes a rocking chair
he will, of course, bruise his ankle. bones
against the rockers, and he will wish

A short Honeymoon.

LATE n afternoon last week a we'll
TODD grocer of this city walked into the
office of one of the Justices of the Peace
with a w~ide-awake looking woman on his
arm and requested the Justice to marry
them. They were put through the usual
catechism, replying in the orthodox man
ner, kissed each other theoretically, paid
a fee that indicated entire satisfaction
with the manner in which the ceremony
was performed, received their marriage
certificate and departed, protected from
the raindrops by a new umbrella.
That was on Wednesday, and IN Friday
the bridegroom anne in looking pale and
excited. Plucking the Justice by the
coat-sleeve, he drew him aside from the
hangers-on and in a hoarse whisper in
quired:
Judge, was 1 married here day be-
fore yesterday?'
The Justice, after overcoming a strong
desire to laugh, looked the husband in
the eye for a moment in an endeavor to
ascertain whether he was joking, drunk
or crazy, and then replied in the afirma-
tive.
Was l { drunk ?" asked the benedict.
CAS- sober as a funeral" replied the
Justice.
"Well," said the unhappy man, twill
you please tell me what the woman's
name was"
Then the Judge did laugh, but the
manner in which the welded grocer
glarcd at him caused him to postpone his
merriment and get out his records. The
desired information was given, at which
the unfortunate man exclaimed: Il
would ha' gambled on it that she was the
woman!" striking his fist down upon the
table so forcibly that the 1874 city direct

Judge, l hain't no recollection of being
married to her, but she's lit out with $75
of my money, and l suppose that settles
il. "-Det10St Post.

But it is at table that he exhibits most
powerfully his peculiarly. He eats pud-
ding sauce on his potatoes and gravy on
the apple-dumplings; and he tries to cut
the butter, and the ball bounces out of the
slippery plate into the steak-plate, and
spatters the gravy all over the table-cloth.
He drops his knife, and strikes his fork
against his tumbler, and spills his tea, or
blisters his tongue with the hot coffee,
and gets himself into pickle generally.
When he calls on an acquaintance he
never knows what to say. He talks
about the weather until the subject will
bear no more handling, and then he will
fall into a dead silence, and roll his de-
spairing eyes about from one corner of the
room to the other in the vain hope that
they may discover something about which
a remark can be made,
He never knows when to 60 away, and
wien he has made up his mind that it is
time to be going he is afraid to make a
move.
His boots creak-bashful mems boots
always do creak-and there will be sew
eral ladies between him and the door, and
he doesn't remember where he left his
hat, and the cold perspiration bursts out
on his forehead, and he most devoutly
wishes that such a thing as visiting any
body was unknown.
lfhe hears a girl giggle anywhere he
feels sure that he is the cause of it, and it
makes him creep all over. He instinct
lively feels his collar to see if it is all
right, and fingers his coat-tails to make
sure there is nothing adhering to them,
and he feels savage and wishes the women
had all persisted in the deluge!
Well, there are so few bashful young
men nowadays that people should not
laugh at them, for bashfulness is one of
the ancient virtues which in this age of
" cheek" and /" brass" is fast becoming
obsolete. -Kate Thorn, an N. Y. Weekly.

l HAVE stood in mud and water two
or three inches deep, for ten hours a day
for a week, without feeling any dampness
or having any difficulty in getting my
boots on or off. If you would be equally
successful, before wearing the boots give
the bottoms a good coating of tallow and
tar and dry it in; then oil the uppcrs with
castor-oil; about one tablespoonful will be
sufficient. If the weather should be
rainy, or you are compelled to work in
water during the day, wash your boots
clean at night, hold them by the fire until
quite warm, and oil them while quite wet,
and you will have no trouble about your
boots getting hard and shrinking up SO
that you cannot get them on. If the
leather should become red, give a coat of
ordinary shoe blacking before oiling. The
effect of castor-oil is to soften tn. leather,
while it fills the pores and prevents
the water from entering.-Cor. Indiana

Keeping Farm Accounts.

THERE are difficulties in the keeping of
farm accounts in such a way as to show
the exact profit or loss in farming that do
occur in keeping the accounts of most
other kinds of business. 1t is easy to
state the general principles that should be
observed, but not so easy to apply them
in the details of practice. The farm, of
course, should be charged with the capital
invested, and with all outlays, and
credited with everything received in re-
turn. Suppose l buy a farm with suitable
buildings upon it, which, with the neces-
sary stock and farm implements, costs
$1,000. That sum should be charged to
the debtor side of the account. All sums
paid for labor, seed, fertilizers, ETC.,
should also be entered in the debtor col
So far it is all easy, but IN enter
ing the credits it is not always easy to de-
termine the value of the returns received.
If, at the end of the year, the farm, in
consequence of the Improvements made
upon it, or from any other cause, is worth
more than at the beginning, the increase
should be credited and 60 to swell the esti-
mate of profits, but frequently it is difficult
to determine the extent of the increase of
value. The same may be said of the increase
of the value of stock remaining on the
farm. There are many items of income
which are difficult to estimate, and some
of which are commonly overlooked alto
gether. The farm should be credited
with house-rent such a sum as the farmer
would have to pay for the use of a house
like his own, if he were compelled to
hire one. The use of his dwelling is
legitimately a part of the income of the
farm. The vegetables from his garden,
the fruit from his orchard, the milk, but
ter and cheese from his cows, the eggs
from his poultry and the honey from his
hives, consumed in his family, are as
much a part of the income of his farm as
is the money received for the produce sold,
and should be credited to the farm at
their market value. 1t is not, however,
easy to keep a correct account of these
little matters, but we believe that an
honest and ~persevering attempt to do so
for a year or two will convince any
farmer who shall try it for the first time
he had previously no correct notion
