THINGS THAT LAsT-I- have often
heard poor blind girl sweetly sing,
Kind Words Will Never Die" We
believe that these are among the things
that "will never wear out" We are
told in Gods own Book to be kind
one to another
The Word of the Lord will never
wear out. Though the grass shall
wither, and flowers fall away, the Word
of the Lord endureth forever | Peter
i. "a, So
The life of the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world
to come as long as God shall live but
the death of the wicked will last for.
ever.
The joy Of the kingdom of heaven
will never wear out. The people of
this world soon die, but the enjovments
of that world will never end
The crown of glory will never wear
out The crown of the winner in the
Olympic games soon faded the crowns
Of kings all wear out but the crown
Of glory will never fade away l Peter
v f.
The "new song" will never wear out
We hear sometimes that some of our
tunes are worn threadbare but that
will never be said of the new song.
May God enable US to make a wise
choice and, with Joshua, may we
choose to serve the Lord.

LIVING ON THE FARM.

How brightly through the mist of years,
Ny quiet country home appears!
Ny father, busy, busy all the day,
In ploughing corn or making hay
NV mother, moving with the light
Among her milk pans, ever bright,
We children, just from school set free,
Filling the garden with our glee-
The blood of life was flowing warm
When | was living on farm.
/ hear the sweet church-going bell,
As DER the fields its music fell
l see the country neighbors round,
Gathering meath the pleasant sound;
They stop awhile beside the door,
To talk their homely matters Ger
The Springing corn, the ripening grain,
And how we need little rain
" A little sun would do no harm ;"
eve want good weather for the farm. .
When autumn came, what JOY to see
The gathering of the husking bee,
To hear the voices keeping tune,
OF girls and boys beneath the moon!
To mark the golden ears so bright,
More golden in the yellow light
Since | have learned the ways of men,
often turn to these again,
And feel life wore its highest charm
When | was living on farm.

TRIAL OF Mr. ToNGUE-Mr. Tongue
was charged with being ian unruly
evil, full of deadly poison" and in
proof Of the charge, the law-book was
produced, and passage cited from
James iii. 8. The defendant replied
that if it We're not for Mr.. Heart who
lived little way below him, he should
be as innocent as his neighbors, Mr.
Nose and the Messrs. Eyes, and in sup.
port of his position he cited a passage
from the same law-book, Matt XIV. IS.
The Court decided that the defence
was a sound one, and that nothing
really good could be expected from
Mr.. Tongue until a radical change
should take place in his neighbor Heart

HELI.-Dr Norman Macleod is &C
credited in one of our exchanges with
the following: Let the fairest star be
selected, like beauteous island in the
vast and shoreless sea of the azure
heavens as the future home of the
criminals from earth, and let them pos
sess whatever they most love, and all
that is possible for God to bestow: let
them be endowed with undying bodies,
and minds that shall ever retain their
intellectual powers let no Saviour
ever press his claims upon them, no
God reveal himself to them, no Sabbath
ever dawn upon them, no saint ever
live among them, no PRAYER ever be
heard within their borders; but let
society exist here forever, smitten only
by the leprosy of hatred to God, and
with utter selfshness as its all-per-
vading and eternal purpose-then, as
sure as the law of righteousness exists,
on which rests the throne Of God and
the government Of the universe, So
ciety SO constituted must work out for
itself hell of solitary and bitter suf
fering, to which there is no limit except
the capacity of finite nature Alas
the spirit that is without love to its God
or its neighbor, is already possessed
by power which must at last create
for itself torment, a worm that will
never die, and a fire that can never
more be quenched

THE TWO BILLS.

Two bills were waiting in the bank
for their turn to 60 out into the world.
One was little bill, only one dollar:
the other was big bill, thousand
dollar bill.
While lying there side by side, they
fell a talking about their usefulness.
The dollar bill murmured out
"Ah, if | We're as big as you, what
good l would do. I could move in
such high places, and people would be
SO careful of me, wherever should go
Everybody would admire me, and want
to take me home with them; but small
as | am, what good can | do? Nobody
cares much for me. | am too little to
be of any use"
"Ah yes that is so" said the thou
sand-dollar bill; and it haughtily gath
cred up its well-trimmed edge that was
living next the little bill, in conscious
superiority. THAT is so,' it repeated.
eff you were as | am, thousand
times bigger than you are, then you
might hope to do some good in the
world" And its face smiled a wrinkle
of contempt for the little dollar
Just then the cashier comes, takes
the little murmuring bill, and kindly
gives it to poor widow
"God bless you :" she cries, as with
a smiling face she receives it. My
dear hungry children can now have
some bread y
A thrill of JOY ran through the little
bill as it was folded up in the widows
hand, and it whispered, may do some
good, if am small" And when it saw
the bright faces of her fatherless chill
dren, it was very glad that it would do
a little good
Then the little dollar bill began its
Journey of usefulness 1t went first to
the bakers for bread, then to the mill
er's, then to the farmers, then to the
minister's; and wherever it went, it
gave pleasure, adding something to their
comfort and joy.
At last, after a long, long pilgrimage
of usefulness among every sort of peo-
pie, it came back to the bank again,
crumpled, defaced, ragged, softened, by
it's daily use Seeing the thousand
dollar bill lying there, with scarcely
wrinkle or a finger mark upon it, it ex-
claims
"Pray, sir, and what has been your
mission of usefulness
The big bill replied, Il have been
from safe to safe among the rich, where
few could see me, and were afraid to
let me go out far, lest l should be lost.
Few indeed are they whom l have
made happier by my mission"
Then the little dollar bill said, 1t
is better to be small, and go among the
multitudes doing good, than to be so
great as to die imprisoned in the safe of
the few"
And it rested satisfied with its lot
MORAL The doing well of little
everyday duties make one the most
useful and happy.

WHITE GRUBs.-These pests can be
driven out of any soil by very small
quantity of salt sown broadcast over it
Five pounds per acre will Danish them
for the season, in twenty-four hours
after the application, if there is moisture
enough in the soil, or a shower, or dew
sufficient to dissolve it. There is not the
smallest danger in using even bushel
to the acre, as far as plant life is con-
cerned. Salt attracts moisture, liber-
ates the insoluble fertilizers of the soil,
and thus has sometimes Though improp-
erly) been called a fertilizer itself. Its
fertiIizng properties lay more in its
chemical action than in any merit of its
own 1t acts similarly to lime, and is
rather mere disintegrater than q ma
nurc In moderate quantities, it is Il
very valuable top dressing, as well as a
powerful insecticide.

If possible, use lime as atop-dressing
to your young clover and other grass
fields. On poor land twenty bushels
per acre, and repeated for five successive
years; and on good land, with a large
amount of grass roots and heritage,
fifty bushels per acre, and repeated
within two years. You will then have
a farm worth cultivation, with the addi-
ton of manure and fertilizers suited to
the crops you design to cultivate.
