LACK OF BACKBONE.

Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler are well
aware that one hundred thousand of
their cOuntrymen are decending annually
into the drunkard's grave, to meet the
drunkard's awful doom. and yet they
open not their mouths in their declara-
ton Of principles to avert from the ma
ton the awful plague Of drunkenness
A handful of brave men were destroyed
the other day when attacking the Sioux
Indians. and Immediately the whole
country begins war upon the Indians for
defending their reservations That is
unjust and criminal. We are using pow
er as England used it upon the helpless
heather Chinese to make them receive
opium. We propose giving the savages,
whose territory We have invaded. taste
Of our powder and steel. In this We
/ show the extent Of our reason and our
Christianity. A few valuable lives were
sacrificed the other day on board the
Mohawk. and at once every seaman is
searching for the remedy that will avert
such disasters. Brave young men died
with Custer. and men and women in the
bloom of life persisted on board the No
hawk but what are these few eompar-
ed with the long dreadful list Of men
and women who do not live out half

HORSES AND THEIR DRIVERS.

Very many years ago. l made up ny /
mind that when there was quarrel BE- /
tween a man and horse. In nine cases
out Of ten the man was In the wrong.
Continued observation has only served
to confirm this belief.
The radical error into which drivers
fall. Is. that the horse knows perfectly
what is wanted Of him. and will not do
it. Then the driver proceeds to show
that be Is the master. and. in the vast
majority Of cases, the horse is punished
without the slightest idea why he Is 80
treated.
For horse to understand instantly
what bis driver desires, there must ex-
ist pleasant feeling between them.
The horse must feel confidence in his
driver. and with one driver horse will
show himself fearless of locomotives, and
with another be will dread them One

no more fatigue to the animal than an
other will produce in driving him ten.
Nothing tends more to cruelty to an

who has lurking fear Of his beast, is
the one who treats him the most harsh

Is just the man who treats all kindly.
He is perfectly aware that there is al
ways danger with horses; but he also
knows that this does not depend upon
the horse, but mostly comes from some
extraneous source, the bad driving Of
others who be meets on the road, or &C.

feeling towards his beast, as being /;

ANALYSIS or BUTTER

Everyone knows that there is a great
difference in the richness as well as the
favor of butter. but the why and where
fore is not so easily found out The
chemists have taken hold Of this subject.
and it Is possible that We may through
their aid have some light thrown into
the butyraeeOus abyss. The following
from the agricultural Gazette is one
step in that direction:
A report has been made to the Board
of Inland Revenue by the Principal of
the Chemical Laboratory, Somerset
House. on experiments conducted BY him
for the analysis of butter. One hundred
and seventeen samples were tested. the
result being that while few samples
were found to be very poor in quality;
and few others exceptionally rich, the
great bulk examined were found to pos
sess considerable Uniformity Of eOmpOs-
itiou. the principal variations being ap-
parently due to a difference in the meth
Cd OF manufacture. the different seasons
of the year when made. and the various
modes Of feeding. As might be expect
ed. some of the poorest buffers were pro-
duced by and obtained from small far
mers in ireland. at time when there
was we're little grass aud food was scarce.
1t was also noticed that the butter was
/ relatively poorer in its essential cousti-
tuents when the food was chiefly cotton
and oil-eake than was the case when
roots and grass formed the staple food.
A noticeable feature in the results re-
corded is the great variation in the guam
tity Of water in the different buffers. the
lowest being 4.l5 per cent. and the
highest 20.75 per cent. The Devon
and Dorset buffers, which usually stand
so high in the market, were found to
contain in nearly all cases high per-
eentage Of water. and one which was
procured from the dairy Of a private
gentleman contained as much as 1890
per cent, and a second sample obtained
from the sane source, contained 1870
per cent. Another point Of interest was
in some measure elucIdated, and which
has reference to deterioration which Ger
tain buffers undergo when kept in small
quantities in glass or earthernware yes
sells. 1t was found that while some Of
the finest and best prepared buffers IN.
dergO little or no change, there is il
Othere gradual disappearance of tht
characteristic principles of buffers, anC
consequent assimilation to the eonstitu
ton of an ordinary animal fat. Thi
change. which appears to be due to al
ineipient fermentation. and Is generall

q, Is probably caused either by the Us
L OF sour cream or by insufficient care i

TOTAL ABSTINENCE FOR The CHINESE
A correspondent at Ningpo sends Us
the following: The use of intoxica.
ting liquors, among the Chinese is on
the increase, and Is endangering the
life Of the native churches. Many Of
the missionaries are beginning to notice
this. and are taking means to check the
evil At Ningpo. DR.. S. P. Barchet,
Of the American Baptist Mission. has
just published tract in the Chinese
language. called .Ka-Tsiu-Leng. an ex-
hortation to total abstinence. The doe
tor. a medical man and total abstain
er, proves that the alcohol found in the
native liquors is poison, that it is not
in any sense food. that it Injuries diges-
ton, gives no strength increases disease.
and leads to poverty, crimes, and death.
Each point is illustrated and applied,
and the tract closes with powerful ap-
peal to abstain altogether from alcoholic
drink. We trust that it will have q
large circulation. and be the means o.
blessing to many."-Natio1saI Adrocate

ADJOINING RELIGION.

Religion is adorned by holy. eonsis-
tent life. II is made to appear beauti-
ful and attractive when those who pro-
fess it live in conformity to the precepts
and example Of the Saviour. The more
fully they DO this, the more do they
bring honor upon religion. There is
nothing in our fallen world so precious
as the religion Of the gospel. and when
it is exhibited in the daily life. and. as
it were. personi6ed before men, they
cannot fail to discern its superior excel
lence and to confess its heavenly origin.
And Christians should seek to do this
iH az things in the most trivial affairs
Of life. as well as in its greater concerns.
Ii Is not enough that a man be a Chris
tian on a Sabbath day. and in eOnspieu.
Gus circumstances be should be Chris
tian on all the days Of the week, aud in
all his intercourse with his family aud
with his fellOw-men. Religion should
prevade his whole life, to its minutest
departments and transactions, just as the
sap Of thrifty tree eirculates through
all its branches. to the extremities Of
the smallest twigs and leaves. How
beautiful such a tree What an ornament
to the premises on which it stands !
And how beautiful such life What
an ornament to the Church And how
would religion be adorned" were all
its members Of such a pattern! How
would it attract the admiring glory Of
the world, and how would the months of
gain-sayers be stopped Mr.. Jay makes
mention Of an example. He says:
''0nc day in my travels | heard Of a
servant who had attended Wesleyan

mistress, who told her she must discOn-
tinue the practice or leave their service,
She received the information with mod
