THE SOURCE OF LOvE.-SWedenbor
wrote some coarse things about unfortu-
nate unions; but few men have written
so sweetly and tenderly about conjugal
love, and he, among many, maintains
that love always begins from the
woman. This, of course, means love as
an effluence, or confessed power in the
intercourse of a human couple. In
other words, it is the woman throwing
the lasso of love around the neck of the
man. Swedenborg's account of his
vision is very drOll:
"The fact is, nothing of true love
originates in man. That it proceeds
from woman was clearly shown me in
the spiritual world. 1 was once con-
versing there on the subject, when the
men, under the secret influence of the
women, stoutly affirmed that they
loved, and that the women were simply
moved by their passion. In order to
settle the dispute, all the females, mar
ried and unmarried, were completely
removed, whereon the men were re-
duced to very unusual condition, such
as they had never before experienced,
and of which they greatly complained.
While they were in this state the
women were brought back. They
addressed the men in the most tender
and fascinating manner; but they were
Indifferent, turning away, and saying,
What is all this fuss? What are all
these women after9 Some replied,
we are your wives to which they re-
Joined, What is a wife? We do not
know you p whereat the women wept.
At this crisis of the experiment, the
feminine influence broke through the
impervious crust which had been per-
mitted to enclose the men, when in
stantly their behavior changed, and
they heartily acknowledged the women.
Nevertheless, the women subsequently
converted them to their former opinion,
admitting that possibly some small
spark of love might pass from the men
into their breasts"

"We've plagued 'em almost to DEATH"
the other sister said. "They don't
want to take our furniture. They know
they have violated their own laws in
selling our land when. there was other
property. There were seven cows. l
had raised them all myself, and it was
like taking my life away. We. were
told that women could not go to the
auction block; but we told 'em we'd go
wherever our property went. The
men believed that we thought so much
of our cows that we'd pay our taxes.
l could have prevented the cows from
having been driven off, and given the
man a great deal of trouble in taking
them, for the cows would mind me if /
spoke to them. But 1 did not say any
thing to them, and let them go, and
they were put in yard near by, where
l could see to them. Eleven acres of
our land, which is considered worth
$1,000, were sold for SIS 35; and another
tax has just come in for 500. We get,
on an average, twenty-four letters a
week, from persons all over this country
and England, and $50 different news
papers have been sent to US, proclaim
ing, to the shame of the men of Glas-

can. ."-SjsterS Smith, Glastonbury, CT.

Whoever reads epitaphs loses his
memory.
Yarn spun by a girl under seven
years of age possesses extraordinary
virtues. Linen made of it furnishes
the best bandages for gouty patients,
and, when wrought in garments, forms
complete coat of mail, not only
against bullet and dagger, but even
against the more formi liable operations
of witchcraft. The very yarn itself can
be wound into unerring musket balls.
When a mouse gnaws a gown, some
misfortune may be apprehended.
When a stranger enters a house, he
should be obliged to seat himself, if
only for moment, as he otherwise
takes away the children's sleep with
him.
The Growing of hen indicates some
approaching disaster.
Whoever sneeZes at an early hour
either hears some news, or receives
some present the same day.
Women who sow fax seed should,
during the process, tell some cOnfOunded
lies, otherwise the yarn will never
bleach white.
Beggars' bread should be given to
children who are slow in learning to
speak.
When women are stuffing beds, the
men should not remain in the house,
otherwise the feathers will come
through the ticks.
To rock cradle when empty is in

If a child less than twelve months old

The first tooth cast by the child

INHERITED LONGEvITY.-Eve body
has noticed that nearly all the members
of some families die aged, while those
of others are gone before what would be
called the middle age of the former. 1t
is a common and correct remark that
some are as old at forty as others are at
sixty; the latter will, in fact, be more
likely to live twenty years than the
former. The years a person has lived is
by no means the most important ele-
ment for judging how many he may
probably live, nor is present health of
much more consequence, since it is often
the case that families are very vigorous
and healthy while they live, yet are not
long-lived. They inherit healthy but
short lives. Notice the Laplanders.
Observe the citizens of Zurich, Switzer-
land, very healthy, but seldom reach
ing the age of sixty, while members of
one Italian family living in their midst
since the sixteenth century reached the
age of eighty or ninety. The Welsh are
the longest-lived people in Europe. The
Scotch are longer-lived than the Eng
lish, and the Irish shorter-lived, yet
they are all healthy as a people. On
the other hand, some who do not have
robust health are noted to live long. 1t
is said that they attain old age because
they take such excellent care of them
selves. Yet, though it is not denied
that the care is useful, it will be found
that they had at least one long-lived
parent, and thus inherited longevity
from one side, if not from both; for,
though it is often the case that those die
young who have long-lived ancestry, it
is very seldom that any person lives to
be year or two older than any of his
ancestOrs-parents, grandparents, etc.

1t is suggested that the churches
might effect saving in these hard
times by employing women preachers
at about half-price. Being of the

more; and, as for the difficulty with

bering Miriam, Deborah, and others.

Deducting this total from the entire
number of Methodists in the country, it
will be found that there'are 1851, 26O in
the north-an excess over the south of
734,311. The influence of these two
great churches moving in harmony here"
after must be very powerful for good.
In view of this grand consumatiOn, it is
not remarkable that the enthusiasm of
the commissioners manifests itself in the
following triumphant outburst:
The streams of gospel truth issuing
from the depths of their sacred fountains
in their holy scriptures, as they are
borne to thirsty thousands through the
instrumentality of called and qualified
ministry, and made effectual to salvation
through the workings Of divine power,
will increase their assuaging freshness
when all the itinerant ranks of Episcopal
Methodism shall move together in frater-
nal concord. Then, as the chosen vessels
of grace, may they bear the living waters
of salvation to all the world. Contem-
plating the prospects of complete frater-
nifty among them, we are lead to look
back to those inspiring scenes of print
tive times when the company Of disciples
were of one heart and mind, steadfast in
the apostles doctrine and fellowship,
having all things in common, continuing
in the temple, praising God and having
favor with all the people.
In it's peculiar doctrines, its primitive
system of church government, its timer
ant plan of preaching, its systematic pro-
vision for its ministers and members, its
widespread missionary enterprises, and
the untiring activity Of its membership
the Methodist church possesses unusual
advantages for the spread Ofits doctrines
and unusual opportunities for appealing
to the masses of the people These adj
vantages will now be immensely enhanced
by the consolidation of these 5000, 900 Of
active workers, who have heretofore been
working separately, but who hereafter
will storm the citadel of sin with I'M
broken front.

looked mp to the fue to see " if dar was

the kitchen garnet to bed. Whether he

There were two little sisters at the

an the same playthings, but never a

AWARN1NG TO WORKNG-MEM.
New York Tribune.

The decline of trades unions in this
Countrywide falling off of membership
in this city alone during four years has
been 5S,OOO-promotes the inquiry:
Will the quality of American WOrkmen-
ship be improved thereby? The decline
of British trade has been attributed by
some English writers to the growth of
the trades unions. Working men, they
have argued, have lost heart tor their
work their societies take up too much
of their time; they feel above their work
and, as a consequence, British goods are
of an inferior quality, and the world
doesn't want them. This roundabout
course of reasoning is not wholly salts
factory. When trades union breed
discomfort, the quality of the work is
impaired but they are not always unsuc-
cessful; sometimes they have inspired
working-men with new courage in their
work. In London, in New York, and
the world over, wOrking-men will do
their best when they are contented an
moderately prosperous. When times
are hard and there is little to keep the
pot boiling, it costs bitter struggle to
put conscience into work.
