DOES THE SPIRIT FALL ASLEEP
AT DEATH9

When we look upon the solemn and
placid face Of the corpse of a dear
friend, after the death struggle, do VIC
believe that the Intelligent soul, which
a moment before communed with US, has
ceased to exist, or is locked up in the
body to descend with it to the grave,
there to sleep until the resurrection
morn? We believe there is no annihi-
lation Of the conscious existence of the
soul. Suppose that the period betwNoH
death and the rAss-.sVVion should seem
80 nUJning to the righteous; is it of
little consequence whether Abraham,
Moses and Elijah have been for three
thousand years or more in the glories of
Heaven, or in state of unconcious ex-
istence? Can the dying Christian con-
slider it all the same, whether he is going
directly to Heaven, to enjoy the sweet
fellowship of angel spirits, or to sleep
for unknown ages in the silent grave ?
/ think when death comes to stare us
in the face, dear reader, we shall be
anxious to know whether we are to pass
into the warm embrace of our Saviour
and the company of angels, or the hOr-
rible gloom Of the grave. The impor-
lance of this subject is sufficient rea-
son why we should search the scriptures,
to see what light they shed upon the
subject. We read in the Book, Then
shall the dust return to the earth as it
was and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it.. When Stephen
was being stoned, on his. dying vision a
dawn of heavenly glory beamed. AT
the TRANSPORTATION of Christ, Moses and
Elias appeared, and talked with him.
And again, Christ's remark to the dy-
ing. penitent thief, To-day shalt thou
be with me in Paradise. 3" On that day.
before the sun went down, they died.
Their bodies were laid aside. but their
spirits must have met that day in para
disc. Paradise was word used by the
Jews to signify state of happiness and
glory. The soul of the penitent thief,
then, did not sleep with the body, but
went directly from the cross into a state
Of concious bliss, where it was with
Christ. The narrative of the rich man
and Lazarus goes to prove that the spirit
does not sleep. The rich man died and
was buried. The poor man died, and
angels carried him into Abraham
bosom. The doctrine therefore taught
by Christ in this parable is, that souls
were conscious in bliss and sorrow, while
their bodies were dead, and their rela-
tives yet living. The apostle Paul says
for him ito live is Christ and to die is
gain. For l am in strait betwixt two,

HOW TO MAKE MONEY FARMING.

Every cultivator wants to know pri-
marily how to make money. He follows
his calling as a merchant pursues his
business. 1t is not merely that he farms
to live and be comfortable. He wants
to do all that. but he would like to make
ga pile" as people in other walks of
life try to do. Every now and then the
newspapers try to tell him how to get
rich; and it is generally by planting
this or that, by trying upland ''rice, )"
or some other such article now sure to
be in demand; and above all "adver-
tise in our columns" Or perhaps he
will be told to 60 here, or settle there.
where land is cheap, and no manure is
needed, or where in some way there
is to be some especial advantage which
no other man but himself, or at least
few other men, are to possess.
We have been struck with passage
in one of the obituary notices of Van
derbilt, with which the newspapers of
late have been so profuse. He died
worth, it is said, over fifty millions.
When asked how he brought this all
about, he replied, by having business
you like, trying to understand it, and
then stick to it and to no other. Peo-
pie thought he was speculator, but he
was no such thing. Whatever he
bought or sold had an immediate rela-
ton to the exact business he had in hand.
He despised speculation and it is well
to let our farmer boys, who think it so
easy to get living by the chances of city
speculations, know this. He loved his
business and labored at it. but it was
not till comparatively old age that he
became rich. Had Vanderbilt died at
fifty, as so many do, his obituaries would
have been very short and commonplace.
lime was quite as favorable to his great
fortune as any other element that en-
tered into it. Still, as he tells us, the
foundation was in sticking to his bust
ness; and this is just the lesson we are
always trying to teach. There Is not a
sermer in all this wide land, but if he

determination to stick to 1t through
thick and thin, and with good, saving
habits and ordinary business prudence
but may in time become rich. 1t need:
no outside speculations, no ventures or
new patents, or new plants. He need
not 60 from this part of the world to an.
other. He should of course use some
little discrimination at first, choosing
althy locations, fair markets, gooC
neighbors, intelligent society, and so on
But having once made up unv-e r..,...

more certain way to make money in thu
world than at farming or gardening.

DICK AND JIM.

We cut the following pretty story
about cat and bird from the pages
of the Youths Companion, correspon-
dent of which paper vouches for its
truth: "Dick" is the name of favor
tic canary bird, and no less favored
Maltese cat responds to "Jim." Both
belong to Rev. Mr.. Way, the pastor of
the Methodist church at Holly. Mich.
"Dick" escaped one morning while
Mrs. Way was cleaning out his cage,
and flying into large willow tree, stand
ing in front of the house, he gave ex-
preston in MARBLES and trills to his
joy at being released from prison.
All the household and many of the
nelghoors trleu ia 'oI--- g.. -n,,eral hours
to capture the fugitive canary. Jim
moved among them, an interested but
unassisting spectator. At length the
hunters retired, and "Dick" enjoyed his
freedom all that day and night.
The next morning, the familiar war;
blings were heard, and "Dick" was
seen, as happy as bird of freedom
could be, in the willow tree. No attempt,
however, was made to capture him.
But about ten o'clock, Jim with
"Dick" in his mouth, appeared in the
wood-shed, where daughter of M-a-
way was engaged in washing clothes,
Surprised, she ran to the cat. Jim
opened his mouth as Miss Way put out
her hand and took the bird. But "Dick"
escaped, for the young lady was too
fearful oil hurting him, and again his
MARBLES were heard in the willow tree.
An hour later the family heard the
cat mewing at the front door. Mas
Way ran out, and there was Jim
with "Dick" in his mouth. He was lei
in, the door shut. and the bird taken
this time with care, and restored to his
cage. ..Dick" was not injured in the
least, and in few minutes indicated
by his warbling that he was "HOmt
again, from foreign shore"
Jim" had been distinguished for hi
skill in hunting birds, but never before
had he brought Into the house a liv'
bird. He and "Dick" were raised il
the same house. His mistress would
frequently permit him to stand near thu
bird, and if he made any signs of seiz
ing it, would punish him.

To INCREASE The Flow OF MILK
A writer who says his COW gives all the
milk that is wanted in family of eight
persons, and which made two humid
red and sixty pounds of butter in the
year. gives the following as his treat
ment: "If you desire to get a large
yield of milk, give your cow three times
a day, water slightly warmed, slightly
sailed, in which bran has been stirred,
at the rate of one quart to two gallons
of water. You will find, if you have
not found this by daily practice, that
your COW will gain twenty-five per cent.

she will become so attached to this mess
that she will drink almost any time, and

PEACE LIKE A RIVER.

The experience Of many Christians is
like a mountain gulch now a raging
torrent, then dry and rocky gully.
From freshet, reaction is drought; from
a bounteOus Outpouring of the Spirit, il
is too often spiritual famine. Paul had
an experience that was the same through
all seasons freshet and drought were
alike to him." None of these things
move me.
The revival wSrk of winter should not
leave us "high and dry" for summer,
but bring in sweeter, deeper, diviner
peace-shOuld deepen and widen the
channel through which flows our Peace
like q river.
A stream is small at first; little OBJ
stacles impede its progress, but it set
ties back, and soon is raised to the
height or the obstruction, overhows, and
goes singing joyOusly on its way. 1t
joins hands with its neighbor. and with
added strength and increased volume.
leaps the rocks, pitches headlong over
falls, turns wheels at the mill, waters
the meadows, sparkles in the sunlight,
turns its silvery face to the moonbeams
and thus, ever happy, ever singing, do
ing good and growing broader, it goes
on until at length there is river.
Once we could stop 1t with our hand,
leap it at bound, or bridge it with
plank; but now, no power on earth can
stop it, no dam can hold it; ships and
merchandise are borne upon its bosom (;
mo drought can dry it up freshets only

its surface with foam-it is a riUer!

Such is the Christians peace" like

soon rises above them all. Over some
