UNDER THE SHADOW or THY
WING,

Pure, holy, eacred, tender dove,
Brood on my soul in patient love;
As. meath Thy moving, once the deep
Weakened from the gloom and formless sleep,
So mold the chaos Of my heart;
Set light and darkness wide apart;
Ny stormy soul in mercy bring
Under the shadow Of Thy wing.
When Jesus stood within the tide,
Heaven opened-where Thou dost abide;
Thy yearning pinions there outspread,
Folded above His sacred head.
So, spotless Spirit, rect on me;
Let me this hour receive from Thee
A new and deeper christening,
Under the shadow OF Thy wing.
When breaks the first faint flush of morn,
Lead Thou my soul unto the dawn;
Encompassed by the noontide hour,
Oh! clothe me with Thy grace and power;
And with the falling twilight come,
To lead my wandering spirit home
Hide me from morn till evening
Under the shadow OF Thy wing.
Fill every home of pain or death
With the sweet fragrance of Thy breath;
Take every wearied head to rest
This night upon Thy peaceful breast;
Let every wayward child rejoice
Who. through the darkness, hears Thy voice;
Gather the grieved and suffering
Under the shadow Of Thy wing.
Spirit of purity, from sin
Cleanse me, and make me fair within;
Spirit of Holiness-oh! dress
My soul in Jesus righteousness!
Lead me, al last, o Tender One,
Into the presenre of the Son
Where l the marriage-fesst shall sing
Under the shadow of Thy wing.
&C. II. Woodmdn, in Christian Union.

Destroying Weeds.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New ENGLAND
Farmer tells how he eradicates weeds, as
! follows:
Some fifteen years ago turned up an
acre of rich land and sowed it at the proper
season with rye. 1t came up perfectly
well, and promised a good crop. In the
spring it looked very lourishing, but there
soon appeared multitudes of weeds which
continued to flourish till, at the time for
harvest, they were much more conspicuous
than the rye. After threshing, the straw,
which | usually valued more than the
grain, sold very ill, hardly at half the
usual price in Boston. The rye itself was
full of seeds, many of which refused to be
separated by the winnowlng. 1 deter
mined to avoid this evil if l could; so l
plowed up an acre next to that which had
served me so Ill, let it lie until the next
spring and waited till arich crop OF weeds
sprang up, which, when they were five OF
six inches high, I rlowed in and waited
till another crop Of somewhat later weeds
were in the same condition; these were
plowed in and afterward a third crop of
the latest weeds was served in the same
manner. 1t was then sown with rye and
produced the ~cleanest and most beautiful

Forests.

The following paper on |" Forests" by
Geo. May Powell, Chairman Of the Forest
Committee of the American Institute, was
recently read before that body:
Over ten thousand miles of recent travel
in prairie States west of the Mississippi
has convinced me that in forest care and
culture the men ofthe West are as they are
in many other things, the advance guard
of America. Our c%ountrymen living east
of a line drawn north and south from the
mouth of the Shenandoah are evidently
needing more instruction and exhortation
on this subject than are those living west
of such a line. The attention given to
this tremendously important subject
should, however, be increased manifold
on both sides of that longitude.
By the formation and maintenance of
fire barriers to protect what were only
thickets fifteen or twenty years AGO, mill
ions of acres of thrifty young forests have
been created in the West. Many OF these
forests, which were then composed of
mere bushes, the main stems of which
were only two or three inches indiameter,
are now beautiful and thrifty trees with
trunks from two to four feet in circumfer-
ence. They are growing on the several farms,
in tracts of from five to fifty acres, and
furnish fuel and fencing posts in sufficient
quantities to demonstrate that less expend-
iture is needed to create an abundant,
permanent supply of timber for fuel and
CONSTITUTIONAL purposes than would be
needed 10 create the same values in any
other rural industry. Many a farm in
these regions has thus had fifty-fold more
added to its actual salable value by beau
tifying the property than the cost of trim
ming and thinning, and protection from
cattle and fires. Cattle are almost as de-
structive to growing timber as tires.)
Then little bits of forests which in many
cases have been reared to the windward
of the homes of the West have also paid
for themselves by promoting warmth for
the houses and stock-yardso of their owners,
thus saving feed and fuel. Their intlu-
ence for good on the health and climate
of these regions Is also becoming noticea-
Bile. Careful microscopic and thermo-
scopic observations extending through the
next twenty years would demonstrate a
| continuance of the gain in these respects
from forest culture.

Lawyers Studying the Bible.

THE Rev. DIR. Vaughan, one of the most
distinguished clergyman Of the Church Of
England, has commenced a of pub
lie reading in the Greek Testament at the
Middle Temple Lecture room, London, at
eight O'Clock in the morning. The course
is intended specially for the benefit of the
lawyers in whose courts the lectures are
delivered, and it is to be continued every
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day during the law term. One who was
present at the opening lecture writes:
The announcement to which we have
referred awakened our curiosity. We
were anxious TO see how such a man would,
to such an audience, eXpound the words
of the great apostle. Despite, therefore,
the early hour and the six or seven miles
which lay between our house and the
Temple, we resolved to be present. With
difficulty and after a good many in.
quiries the lecture-room of the Temple
was reached a few minutes after eight
O'Clock. To our surprise and, let us add,
pleasure, the room was full. 1t looked
like a theological class IN one OF our col
leges. Ranged along desks or seated in
odd corners, where some facility for
writing could be found, ' &c seat
ed thirty or forty n-so in the
early morning Of life; some who
were drawing near TO its evening hour.
Judging by appearances, nearly all be-
longed to the legal profession, which finds
one of its favored homes in the winding
courts and halls of the Temple. Here
and there, however, appeared a dress
which told Enthusiastically that Its wearer
belonged to the clerical order. Every
one, however, meant work. Notebooks
and interleaved Greek Testaments were
being rapidly filled with the words which
fell from the lips of DR.. Vaughan. He was
seated at a little desk with Greek Tesla
ment and Concordance before him, and
with a rare grace of name and finish
and precision of statement was discours-
ing of Paul's second letter to the Corinth.

1t must be an interesting sight, an as
semblage of men learned in the law
gathered at such an early hour 10 study
the word of God in the tongue in which
it was written. But what could be more
appropriately. Y. Observer.

A SUBSCRIBER having asked the Iri1
Farmers Gazette how to make prepared
oil from linseed oil receives the following
instructions: Add a teaspoonful of line,
ly-powdered and perfectly dry whiting to
about two ounces of linseed oil. Place
the oil with the whiting in a bottle, shake
them together and place the vessel by the
side of the fire. After a certain time,
which will vary according to circum.
stances, from a few hours to two days,
the whiting will be found to have settled
at the bottom of the vessel and to have
taken down with it all the impurities and
color from the oil. Then carefully decant
the clear portion of the oil, so as not to
disturb the sediment at the bottom, and
preserve it in a well -stoppered bottle.

"Facts Are Stubborn Things.n

Thousands of human beings are yearly
borne on the swift current Of disease down
to the grave, just because they do not pos
sess a sufficient knowledge Of themselves. A
man meets his neighbor and the first saluta-
ton is: "How are your" or How is your
health?" The reply frequently is: ''Oh, l
am well, with the exception of a cold"
do you know that a cold is one of the most
dangerous of maladies? A cold not only
clogs up the pores of the entire system, and
retards circulation, but it is productive of
Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to Con
sumption. oh" you say, ait is nothing
but a cold in my head" True; but that cold
is really a mild form of Cstarrh, and if not
arrested in its course will become chronic.
Catarrh is one of the most disagreeable,
offensive affections in the catalogue of
diseases. The passage to the nose is OBJ
structed, the sense of smell impaired, and
there is a disagreeable sensation of pressure
in the head. In the more advanced stages
there is a discharge having an offensive
odor. If the disease be allowed to continue
in its course, thick, hard incrustations will
form in the head, the bones of which some
times become sOftened and break away in
pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer
from such an annoying, disgusting disease
when they can just as well be cured of it?
DR.. Sagc's catarrh Remedy will cure the
worst forms of Catarrh; in fact, it is the only
sure and safe remedy which has yet been
offered to the public. Many harsh, irritating
preparations may, for a time, relieve the
urgency of the symptoms, but they do not
cure the disease. DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy is soothing and healing in its effects,
and when used with DR.. Picrce's Nasal
Douche, according to directions, does not
fail to effect a cure. Sold by all Druggists.
