Birds. the Farmers Friends.

Birds are source Of unfailing pleasure to
man. Adorned with NATURES richest oolors,
they delight the eye; chanting their sweetest
music, they charm the ear as they visit our
homes and sport upon the trees on our cult
waited grounds. .. .....
And we derive much benefit from the
labor of birds. They feed upon the insects
which destroy the fruits Of our gardens and
fields. Without their timely service, the
labor of the gardener and the huEbandman
would oftentimes be in vain. The extent to
which bids are useful in the destruction Of
insects can hardly DO over estimated, Mr.
Bradley, a writer on husbandry and garden
ing informs Us that pair Of sparrows once
carried to their nest, on an average, forty
caterpillArs every hour during the day.
Hence nearly Ave hundred of these insects
were destroyed by them in twelve hours
Ten pairs Of sparrOws would, therefore, de-
strOy thirty thousand caterpillurs per week.

American Girl, the famous trotting mare,
which has won 30 many races on the turf,
dropped dead while trotting at EImira, N.
Y, Saturday afternoon. She died in the
harness like every faithful worker.
The New York Sun has the following on
the event.
The incident excited great deal Of SYM
patty, as the mare was great iavorte here
and had been the chief attraction for the
races to-day. A singular circumstance in
the matter was, that from the grand stand a
rainbow was seen, the end Of which fell upon
the head Of the dying horse. The band played
funeral dirge as soon as the death was
made known. American Girl was owned by
William Lowell of New York, and was val.
ued OF S25, 900, which sum had been offered
for her only last week. Ben Mace offered
$4,000 for her this very morning and il
was refused. There was no insurance or
her. She was thirteen years old, and has
been a favorite on the turf for years. The
Elmira driving park association propose
should the body be left here, to erect a 81 ,O0C
monument to the memory Of the American
| fi;rl Ida.

Church Dress.

The Vermont Union does occasionally
have good article Cby mistake, thought, and
here is one. 1t should be committed to
memory, and repeated three times day,
also between-meals.'9oi6 er.-g .r..E
During these times of gospel labor,
wouldn't 1t be a good thing for the'workers"
to lend their efforts occasionally towards an
attempt to reform church dress Houses Of
worship have been sadly abused OF late by
being converted into emporums of fashion.
Many Of our best women, who really have at
heart the interests Of religion, are at fault
in this respect. When the styles of the sea-
son change they cannot think of attending
church until the dress maker aud the miliuer
pronounce their approval 1t is common TO
hear worthy women say II can't go to
church to day, for my bonnet hasn't come"
Now gaudy or an expensive church attire
IS questionable on two grounds. First, it is
apt to divert worship from spiritual to ma
terial things. FOO many women think more
of how their dress becomes their forms than
Of how their maker regards their conduct
and their frame of mind. Too much regard
for display in dress is quite apt to be accom-
panied by corresponding want Of true de-
votion. The second object is far greater
than the first. There is large proportion
of the community without the means to deck
themselves in costly fabrics, and the latest
style, sufficiently to compare well with the
few who are able. Being proud and un-
willing to suffer comparison with the wealthy,
they avoid the contrast by staying away
4 from church. This Is the one great influence
which, at the present time, is keeping SO
many families out of church Now let the
gospel workers, who are trying so earnestly
to reach all classes, and advance the cause
Of religion, give their efforts to reform in
this respect Let cur ladies Of wealth, who
are true Ghristians and desire to Increase the
followers of their Master set suitable ex.
ample in church dress. Abandon expensive
Hounees and 6ueries, adopt plain, neal
style of dress, but so Inexpensive that al
can afford it, and be able TO attend church
on level with those more favored in worldly
possessions. r .
