Good Enough for Home.

why do you put on that forlon old
dress ?" asked Emily Manners Of her cousin
lydia, one morning after she had spent the
night at Lydia's house.
The dress in question was a spotted, IA
ded old summer silk, which only looked the
more forlom for its once fashionable trim
mings, now crunpled and frayed.
"Oh, anything is good enough for home" +"
said Lydia, as hastily pinning on soiled col
lar, and twisting up her hair in knot, she
went down to breakfast.
Your hair is coming down." said Emily.
"Oh, never mind. It's good enough for
home" said Lydia, carelessly. Lydia had
been visiting at Emily's home, and had al
ways appeared in the prettiest of morning
dresses, and with neat hair, and dainty col
lars and cuffs but now that she was back
again among her brothers and sisters and
with her parents, she seemed TO think any
thing would answer, and went about untidy
and rough in soiled finery. At her uncle's
she had been pleasant and polite, and had
won golden opinions from all but with her
own family her manners were as careless as
her dress she seemed to think that courtesy
and kindness were too expensive for home
wear, and that anything was good enough
for home.
There are too many people who, like
Lydia, seem to think that anything will do
for home. Young men who are polite and
pleasant in outside society are rude to their
mothers, and snarl at their sisters and girls
who, among strangers are all gayety and an
ilration, never make an exertion TO please
their own family.
It i. wretched way to turn always the
smoothost side to the world, and the roughesi
and coarsest 10 ones nearest and dearest
friends

Mans Need OF Religion.

The marvellous success OF Messrs. Moody
and Sankey in England, and OF Mr.. Varley
in this country, must be little discourag-
ing TO those who are looking for the death
and burial of the popular religion. We Of
ten hear from scientific and literary readers,
that the Bible has been outgrown by reason,
and can no longer satisfy human needs. II
has done good work in past centuries, they
tell us, but its doctrines Of a depravcd hui
man nature and Of supernatural grace can no
longer prevail in our enlightened age. Chris
tianity must take its place with the perished
faiths Of the Old World.
But facts can not be warped TO the sup
port Of such philosophic theories. Human
nature refutcs the theories, and the yearning
hearts of men turn away from their advo-
Gates, pining with hunger for divine Sa-
viour aud for a religion proving by is fruits
that II has come from God.
For many months the cities OF Great Brit
ain have been shaken, like Jerusalem at the
Pentecost. Eager crowds, larger than any
building could seat, have focked to listen 10
the words, not Of eloquent preachers but Of
modest laymen, telling in simple way, the
the old story Of the cross Mhitefeld and
the Wesleys, in the last century, did not at
tract such rnultitudcs, nor were the converts
so numerous under their preaching. Many
thousands have abandoned sinful ways, and
begun to lead upright and pious lives Even
the secular journals, that ridicule the whole
movement. acknowledge its benhcent re-
suits. They confess that druukards are
made sober, and licentious men chaste, and
hasphemers deyout. They confess that
homes, long filthy and wretched by degrad-
ing vices, are now clean and pure and happy
The influence Of the preachers does not end
in the crowded assembly II goes into the
daily life, inspiring to higher aims, and sus-
tanning by stronger motives.
Similar results, though less marked both
in extent and power have followed Mr. Var
! ley's labors in this country. Large crowds
have been drawn together Christians have
/ been quickened TO a more spiritual life, and
/ sinners have been awakened and converted.
| The cross Of Christ is still a magnet to draw
| the world unto itself.
| No better answer can be given TO the
| challenge Of unbelicf. A religion cannot
decay which meets the profoundest wants
OF human nature, and restores harmony 10
| the disordcred soul. A religion cannot grow
| old, which evokes dormant forces lifts from
| the abyss Of vice to the heights Of virtue,
and reforms whole communities by its di-
vine energy. Christianity is stll the power
Of God unto salvation, no less than when
the iailcr trembled at Philippi and Cornelius
-eioiced in CWsarea. IL may be a stumbling
| block to the jew and fo0lishness to the
Greek, but is justified 10y its children, for
| they have tested its promises, and had an in
ward experience Of its transforming grace

Orange Growing In Florida.

People who have never tasted a Florida
orange, little know what a good orange is.
They must be eaten TO be appreciated no
ordinary description will do them justic.
They bring high prices even here. While
good Havana oranges wholesale at 81 per
hundred in New York Florida oranges bring
SIS per barrel for the best, In Jacksonville.
At this rate few can afford TO purchase them
for their Northern friends. A barrel CON
tains from two to three hundred according
10 size Of fruit When the season COM
menced they sold at two and half cents each
at the groves, and have gradually risen to
five and six cents apiece. The picking
season was over some time ago, and the trees
are blooming for a new crop, which will be-
gin TO ripen in December. A few trees are
still kept in fruit to show to visitors, and
some have both fruit and blossoms. In jack
sonville, short time since, could be seen
tree laden with fruit, one half the tree bear
ing oranges, while the other bore lemons of
large size. At Arlington, across the river
saw large tree, one-half laden with oranges
and the other with grape fruit The latter
is frequently three times larger than Flor
ida orange Of ordinary size, and very similar
in appearance. The flesh is coarse and bitter,
aud is not much sought after for its edible
qualities, though the colored people deyour
them with considerable relish. 1t requires
from ten to twelve years from the planting,
for an orange grove to produce crop that
is really remunerative. The number Of
groves in this section of the state that are
yielding large returns is comparatively small.
OF course the great number Of visitors rem
ders it impossible for the proprietor OF a
grove to give away his fruit, but they will
sometimes allow a person 10 pick few
oranges from the trees at five cents apiece.
A great many people have goneinto the busi-
ness, and in o few years there should be
enough oranges produced here to bring them
within the reach OF the Northern people at
reasonable prices But there is some risk at
tending the business, at least north of the
" "frostline." A "cold-snap," like that ex-
perienced in 1855, would blast the prospects
Of the fruit-growers for some time and as
may of them unwisely make their crop Of or
anges or something else their sole depend
ence, they spend each winter in constant APP
prehension Of frost visitations, and have had
much reason TO feel uneasy about It the past
winter. One morning in February there was
storm of sleet and snow in the vicinity Of
Jacksonville, but fortunately it did no dam-
age, The lemon Is grown to a less extent
than the orange; aud most OF those ! have
seen in the market are double the size of any
we see at home, and of unexceptionable
quality.-JdcksoRuale Cor. 81 Atbdns Hess'r.

How Snow Avalanches are Formed.


\ Nevada paper, speaking of the avalanches
of snow which were so destructive Of life
and property last winter, says The purely
sliding avalanches, or snow slides, are such
as occur in dry or merely moist snow, while
the rolling ayalanches take place when The
snow is wet, or sufficiently moist 10 form into
balls by rolling.
The avalanches that occurred in Virginia
City were of the genuine rolling description
the kind most dreaded and most destructive
in the valleys Of the Alps. Avery small begin
ming, when the snow Is in the proper condi.
tion, may end in destructive avalanche. A
ball Of snow no larger than a mans head,
started high upon the side OF Mount David
son, might have swept away several houses
at the foot of the mountain. The fearful
force Of the avalanche was shown here when
one broke into house aud killed two men,
and another demolished tw- houses, and
buried five persons, who were rescued with
much difficulty.
A further illustration of the terrible force
and destructive power Of the avalanche is 10
be found in the fact that twenty-eight Chi
namen were killed by one that fell near
Genoa. As we have said, n small ball of
snow, started high upon the slope of Mount
Davidson, would result in a genuine ava
lanche. In rolling a distance Of fifty yards
in the moist snow the small ball OF snow
would become four or five feet in diameter
when it would burst, and each piece Of il
would, an instant after, form ball Of large
size; these in turn would explode as soon as
they had aquired a certain weight and veloc-
ity. and moment after there would be hun
dreds and thousands Of these balls in motion,
all bounding down the steep sides Of the
mountain.
While hundreds of these are exploding or
just forming, other hundreds are Of full size
and are picking up rocks, dirt and all man
ner Of rubbish, which becomes involved in
the grand downward rush. Toward the low
er part of their course the balls become 50
numerous that they bound aud clash to
! gether so often that they are broken before
they acquire any great size, aud the whole
avalanche is then plunging, sliding mass
Of snow.
The avalanche which knocked two houses
to pieces and buried five persons, started but
a few hundred yards above where the houses
stood, 1t started at bunch of rocks which
projected fifteen or twenty feet above the
general surface of the slope of the mountain.
On these rocks the snow had fallen and ac-
cumulated to the depth of about three feet,
hanging in places as snow is seen TO do on
the caves of house. From one OF these
rocks fell a bunch Of snow which began to
roll down the hill, and the result was destruc-
tive avalanche. Doubtless, the avalanche
which killed two men started in much the
same way.
