GOLDEN SHEAVE

"Ihere is One whose love e~xcelling
AL affection here below,
Falters not when night is ID darkest,
But grows deeper with our woe.
Oh, there's but one friend forever,
Whose affection will endure
Only Christ, on whom relying.
We may know our trust is sure.o
Deep lies the hearts language.
Forgive any, sooner than thyself.
Speech is the picture of the mind.
Every bird loves to hear himself sing.
Deeds are fruits, words are but leaves
-Where drums beat the laws are dumb.
b a friend to yourself, and others
will. -
He that has lost his credit is dead to the
world.
No one is a fool always every one some
times.
II a thousand pounds of law there's not
an ounce ofioye.
The pleasures of the rich are the tears
o 1.-THE poor.
1t is betterto sit with a wise man IN pris-
on, than with a fool IN paradise.
If we did our duty, this world might be
as full of love as it is full of beauty.
Some prayers have a longer voyage than
others, but they come with a richer larder at
last.
SO use everything you have that it shall
fix your heart more on God, and you will be
able and willing to let it go when He shall
see fit to remove it.
The way to conquer men is by their pas
sions; catch but the ruling foible of their,
hearts. and all their boosted virtues shrink
before you.
AS weeds grow rankestin richest ground,
and fruits ripest in hottest climates, so do
sins grow to the greatest height where the
gospel sun climbs highest.
Leaves are light and useless and idle
and wayering and changeable; they even
dance; yet God has made them part of the
oak. In SO doing he has given us a lesson
not to deny the stout heartedness within
because we see the lightsomeness without.
We are surrounded by motives to piety
and devotion, If we should but mind them.
The poor are designed to excite our liberal
ity the miserable, our pity the sick, our
assistance ; the ignorant, our instruction;
those that are fallen, our helping hand.
In those who are vain we see the vanity of
the world ; in those who are wicked, our w
frailty. When we see good men rewarded
it confirms our own hope; and when evil
men are punished, it excites our fear.-Bish.
op Wilson.

WHY MARRIED PERSONS LIVE LON S


DR.. Hall, in one of his "Health Tracts"
gives a few reasons why marriage is favora-
bic to health. Bachelors are always in a
state of unrest. They feel unsettled. lin
doors after supper, there is a sense of soil
fairness, inducing a Sadness, if not settled
melancholy, with all its depressing in
fluences. And many, many hours in the
course of the year are spent in gloomy mac
tivity, which is adverse to a good digestion
and to q vigorous and healthy circulation.
His own chamber or house being so unin-
wiling, the bachelor is inclined to seek di-
version outside-in suppers with friends, in
clubs which are introductories to intemper-
ance and RIGHTEOUSNESS. or to those more
unblushing associations which, under the
cover of darkness, lead to speedy ruin of
health and morals; and when these are
gone, the way downward to an l,ntinely
grave is rapid and certain. On the other
hand, marriage l%engthens a mans life by its
making home inviting-hy the softening in
fuences which it has upon the character and
the affctions-by the cultivation Of all the
better feelings of our nature, and in that
proportion saving from vice and crime.
There can be no healthful development OF
the physical functions of our nature without
marriage. 1t is necessary to the perfect man
for Divinity has announced that it was
..not good for man to be alone" Marriage
gives a lauduble and a happy object in life
the provisions for wife and children, Their
present comfort and their future welfare, the
endowment in witnessing their happiness,
and the daily and hourly participation in at
fectionate Interchange Of thought and sentl-
ment and sympathy. These are the consid-
%erations which %antagonize sorrow and light
en- the burdens of life-thus streWing flow
ers and casting sunshine all along its path
way. Voltaire said "The more married
men you have, the fewer crimes there Will
be. Marriage renders a man more yirtuous
and more wise, An unmarried man is but
half of a perfect being, and it requires the
other half to make things right. And itcan
not be expected that in this imperfect state
he can keep the straight path OF rectitude,
any more than a boat with one oar can keep
a straight course. In nine cases out OF ten,
where lQIII1cu lIlcu DcSOilC uIuIIhoiSS' "a
where they commit crimes against the peace
of the community, the foundation OF these
acts was laid while in a single state, or where
the wife is, as is sometimes the case, an un-
suitable match. Marriage changes the cur
rent OF a mans feelings, and gives him a
center for his thoughts, his affections, and
his acts. Here is a home for the entire man.
The counsel, the affection, the example, and
the interest of his 'better hail. keep him
from cratic courses, and from falling into a
thousand temptations to which he would
otherwise be exposed. Therefore the friend
to marriage is the friend to society and to
his country"

II I SHOULD DIE TONIGHT,
If should die Tonight.

fl should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet face,
Before they laid it in its resting-place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair;
And laying snow-White flowers against my hair
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness.
And fold my hands with lingering caress,-
Poor hands, SO empty and SO cold Tonight
If I should die tonight,
My friends would cal. to mind with loving thought
some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought,
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said;
ltrrands on which the willing feet had Sped.
The memory Of my sellishness and pride,
My hasty words would all be put aside,
And SO [ should be loved and mourned tonight.
IF I should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn once more to me
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance,
Would look upon me as of yore, perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way,
For who would war with dumb, unconscious clay!
SO | might rest, forgiven of all tonight.
Oh, friends, | pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow,
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently of me; / am travel-worn,
My f~altering feet are pierced with many q thorn.
Forgive! oh, hearts estranged, forgive, | plead!
When dreamless rest is mine l shall rot need
The tenderness for which I long tonight.

AT a dinner party there were two sisters
present, one a widow who had just emerged
from her weeds, the other not long married,
whose husband had latelygone out to India
for a shortterm. Ayoung barrister present
was deputed to take the widow down to din
Ter. Unfortunately he was under the i'm
preston that his partner was the married
lady whose husband had just arrived in IN
dia. The conversation between them
commenced by the lady's remarking how
extremely hot it was. Eyes it is very hot''
returned the young barrister. Then a hap
py thought suggested itself to him, and he
added with a cheerful smile, "But not so
hot as the place to which your husband is
gomez The look with which the widow
answered this " happy thought will haunt
that young barrister till the day of his
DEATH.

A HOUSE OF Our OwN.-Next to being
married to the right person, there is moth
ing SO important in ones life as to live UNI
der ones own roof. There is something
more than a practical charm in the express
sion of the wife: "We have u cosy house;
it is thrice dear to us, because it is our own.
We have bought it with the savings of our
earnings.
"Many were the soda fountains, the con-
dictionary saloons and the necessities of the
market we had to pass, many a time my no.

had been our united aim. Now we have if :
there is no landlord troubling us with rails

There is no fear harbored in our bosom that

IN PRAISE OF HEREFoRDs.

In a letter to the Rural New Yorker, refer
ing to the report OF the Centennial Exhibi-
ton published in that journal Oct. 7th, J. L.
Miller, says: There is one point, however,
that does the Herefords injustice as abreed.
Your reporter says: "Both Hereforls and
Devons fatten we'll but neither of them put
up in proportion the same amount of high
priced beef as can on equal quantity Of fod-
der be accumulated by the Shorthorn fam
ily."
Now as regards the Herefords and Short
horns the reverse of this is true. The Here
ford for a given amount of feed will make
larger returns than the Shorthorn. And
for a given grass weight will give a larger
| per cent. of high-priced beef, and the high
priced beef of a richer, ripper and better
quality than the same cuts from aShorfhorn
steer.
Mr.. w. Probert, of Cleveland, Ohio, who
has been a butcher and market man for 25
years, was at my place two months since,
and said he could afford to pay one to one
and one-half cents more per pound live
weight for a Hereford than he could for a
Shorthorn steer, and make more on the
Hereford than on the S%horthorn. This you
will find verified by the experience Of any
butcher and market mar that has cut Here
ford steers.
The records of the Smithfield club, Lon
don, Eng, show the Herefords a long way
on the lead of the Shorthorns as a beef steer,
and the London market will show the Here
fords at the same advantage as Mr.. Probert
would give them.
am aware that the opinion prevails in

retiring for the night is at hand, n TO wa
ter the horse as the saying is after ne mas De
come cool, would be very inconvenient. 10
avoid so great and evil as giving cold water
to a warm horse in winter, when his labor
is over. give him water when he IS aoout TO
return, if convenient if not wait TILL the
horse has become cool, after returning nome
and turn him to the water, or if more con-
venient carry some to the stable. If little
hot water can be added to the cold, he may
have drink without waiting; or molstened
food may be given to him, so that water
will not be SO necessary.
There is one thing in which many farmers
are negligent in the care of their horses.
They feed their whole stock early in the
evening, and they Go not go to the barn
again for the night. When the horse has
eaten his supper of the dry fodder, he
is very thirsty, but he has no drink, and suf-
ters for want of it. The next morning his
thirst has abated, by an equalization OF
moisture in the system, and he has become
hungry, and is looking for his breakfast, so
he will not drink much in the morning,
though water is offered. It is but little
trouble to turn the horse to water about
nme O'Clock in the evening, and it should
be attended to. If the food be cut and
moistened, as now practised by many, it
will be, in a great measure, a remedy for
the evil.
When the horse is out, keep him we'll COW
cred while standing in the cold, especially
after hard driving, or when warm, and put
a blanket on him OF being put into the sta
bic when sweating. Never wash a horses
legs in cold water when he is warm, not
even in hot weather. Cold water may be
used for inflammations but only when the
horse is still and cool.-Fa,mer's Home
