A GENTLEMAN.-When you have found a
man, you have not far to 60 to find gentle
man. You cannot make gold ring out of
brass. You cannot changes Cape May crys-
tai to diamond. You cannot make gen.
tleman till you first find man.
To be gentleman is not sufficient to have
had grandfather. To be gentleman does
not depend on the tailor or the toilet. Blood
will degenerate. Good clothes are not good
habits.
A gentleman is just gentle. no more,
no less; diamond polished that was first
diamond in the rough. A gentleman is gen.
tie. A gentleman is modest. A gentleman
is courteous. A gentleman is slow to take
offence, as being one that never gives it. A
gentleman is slow to surmise evil, as being one
who never thinks it. A gentleman re6nes
his taste. A gentleman subdues his feelings.
A gentleman controls his speech. A gentle
man deems every other better than himself:
Sir Phillip Sydney was never so much Of a
gentleman mirror though he was of English
knighthood- when upon the field of Zut-
phen, as he lay in his own blood, he waived
the draught of cool spring water, that was to
quench his mortal thirst, in favor Of dy-
ing soldier.

WORDS OF EXPLOITATION.

The trouble with you, brother, is that you
are spiritually weak. This weakness comes
out whenever the earth is damp or the sky is
cloudy at church time and whenever little
praying or speaking is wanted of you, some
thing pulls you back and keeps you down.
Somehow you don't enjoy these things as you
used to do. Is it not so2 Did it ever occur
to you that this position of yours is dan
gerous one? A skeptic once explained his
apostacy from the faith by saying, "That just
went out and this just came in" The poor fel.
low thought it smart to confess that he was q
kind of highway over which any opinion
could drive. The position you are in is just
about his. You are spiritually non resistant.
You do not know what may take hold Of
you, now that you have let 60 of Christ
This weakness, languor, Incidence, is very
bad business, and will be worse one unless
you change soon. "But how can I ?" Begin
by using the means of grace; interest your
self in them. We once knew cold brother
who went to church and chopped wood half a
day-just "to gel interested in the church as
he used to be-" There is some act on your
part that would start your sympathles that
way; and it's the start you want. 10 to all
the services of the church. Take class in
Sabbath school. Double your subscriptions
to MISSIONS In short, pinch yourself to be
sure there is spiritual sap in you. But the
main thing is to use your knees in your closet.
The branch you may be, but you will wither
and die if you abide not to The Vine. Are
not the shadows lengthening, and can the
night be far? Make haste, brother, to lay
hold on life, strength, and. heaven.-The
Methodist

WASTE OF LAND.-If farm of 100 acres
is divided by fences into fields of 10 acres
each, there are 5 miles of fences. If each
fence now is one rod wide, no less than 10
acres of land are occupied by them. This is
equal to St per cent. Of the farm, and the loss
of the use of the land is exactly equal to a
charge of 81 per cent. on the whole value of
the farm. But nearly every fence in the
country is made a nursery for weeds, which
stock the whole farm, and make an immense
amount of labor necessary to keep them from
smothering the crops. Much damage always
results to the crop from these weeds, and If
these expenses are added to the first one, the
whole will easily sum up to 20 per cent, or a
tax equal to one-dfth Of the value of the farm.
To remedy this we should have fewer fences,
or we should clean and SOW down the fence
rows to grass or clover, and NOW them twice a
year. Ten acres of clover or timothy would
at least supply farm with seed and few
tons ofhay every year. We should, in short,
consider the fence rows valuable part OF the
farm and use them as such.

BROGGS, EXPERIMENT.

Says the Yolo (Cal.) Mail: Broggs, who
lives in Elliott's Southern Addition, ran
across the item the other day that "at night
that horse would refuse to step on or over the
body of man laying in the road, but, as if
impelled by instinct, would stop and remain
motionless until the matter should be investi-
gated" Grave doubts as to the truth of the
statement rose in Broggs mind, and to settle
the matter for himself he resolved to give the
thing practical test. Now Broggs has no
horse, but does own a very intelligent and
frisky young mule, so he thought it just as
we'll to try the experiment with him. There
is a narrow lane leading from the clover
patch to the water trough, and he sent his lit
tie son Bobby to open the gate and turn the
mule out; meanwhile Broggs lay down full
length across the lane, assuming an appa-
rently lifeless attitude. The mule had been
kept in the pasture all day, and consequently
was very dry, so he came waltzing down the
lane at great rste and everything denoted
fair trial to the test. And so it was but
not exactly as Broggs desired, although it
confirmed him in his skepticism. When
within yard or two the mule perceived the
PROSTATE form of his master, and with an ex'
plosion of sound which was compromisve be-
tween the shrek ola locomotive and the yell
of "a frightened maniac, he bowed up his back
and flung bis tail to the breeze, elevated him
self about fifteen feet in the air, and, with
all four feet in bunch, lit on the pit of
Broggs' stomach. Then with 6endish laugh
he spread out his feet with scraping, lacera-
ting sound, and was off like fash, not omit
ting, however, to give the experimenter q
parting kick in the small of the back as he
departed. The price of the mule did not near
pay the doctors bill, and Broggs is now cal
culating how many post-hcles he will have to
mortice before he will get even on his exper-
iuent
