OATMEAL

In England children of all ranks are
raised on oatmeal diet alone, because
it causes them to grow strong and beati~
full, and no better food can be found for
them. 1t is also quite as desirable for
the laborer, and for the delicate lady
and her hardworking sisters ;indeed, all
classes would be greatly benefited by
it's use, and dyspepsia wit hits manifold
annoyances, can be kept at distance.
Oatmeal is more substantial food it is
said, than veal, pork or lamb, while its
great desideratum consists of one,s not
becoming weary oft, foritis as welcome
for breakfast or tea as is wheat or Gra-
ham bread. 1t can be eaten with syrup
or butter, as hasty-pudding, or with
cream and sugar, like rice. It's espec-
tally good for young mothers, upon
whose nervous forces too great a de
mand has been made, and they lose the
equilibrium of system and become de-
pressed and dispirited. Oatmeal re
quires to be cooked slowly, and thu
water should be boiling hot when stirred

STREET TALK.

"Learn to talk like a gentleman,
my boy. Papa is sorry to hear you
talk street talk Do quit it."
"What is street talk, papa"
"What did you just now say to Sis
ter?"

"But you said hush up!' and said
it very loud and rudely. And what
did you, ten minutes ago, say to Mar
tha"
II told her to go out of my way"
"But you did not say it half so
nicely as that. You said, Get out of
this p and / think you called her some
name. What was it !"
Harry looked ashamed, and the tears
came but he answered, ~ called her
dirty snick,'"
"Just so. That is what | mean by
street talk-all these naughty words,
and especial the rough tone and man
ner, your hear on the street. They
belong to those boys who have never
been taught any better, and to those
men who, though knowing better, yet
do not care anything about the bet
ter way. But my little boy must nev
er use street talk"

DEFECTIVE PRAYERS.

l. Those which embody no desire.
They are formal and lifeless. The
soul will not be easily pacified when it
has great desire which cries out for
something God alone can give.
2. Such as are not in earnest. PRAYER
is real work for life, while yet disclaim-
ing all personal power to secure it OF
merit it.
3. Such as are without faith. There
are three grounds for faith in approach
to God. 1. His Covenent. 2. His
Promises. 8. His attributes. Surely
upon one or the other the confidence
of the petitioner may rest mistaken.
4. Such as are made with wrath.
The heart which secures favor from
God must love mankind. 1t must put
away all wrath and malice and evil
speaking. 1t must forgive and bless
as it would be forgiven and blessed.
5. Such as are connected with a
disposition to live in sin. "If I re-
gard iniquity in my heart, the Lord
will not hear me-"
6. An unwillingness to do the will
of God. Man many dares not ask
for the coming Of the Holy Spirit, lest
it reprove him for some long neglected
duty. If we pray for light, we must
accept its revelations for strength,
the duties it imposes.
7. The lack ofpraise to God. Thank
lessness shuts God out, is a non-con-
ductor of mercy. We do not praise
God half enough.
8. Praying is seen and heard ofmen.
Prayers for human ears have lite au-
dience in Divine ones.

MISQUoTATIoNS.

In one of Horace Walpole's letters
occurs this paragraph; he is praising
certain childless couple, and the
sweet life they were living away one
side on small estate. He says:
"They may comfort themselve with
having no children when they recollect
that the earliest born Of men commits
deadly weapon, am sure"
William Hazlitt, in like csrelessness,
says it was "the Samaritan" who
prayed, Lord, be merciful to me, a
sinner"
Leigh Hunt declares that the poet
Shelley, of whom he was writing de-
Tense, twas q student of the book OF
Job, but for his Christianity he went
to the Gospel Of st. James"
Thackeray states that it was Eli fol
whom his mother made some "little
shirts" every year, instead of Samuel,
for whom Hannah made a coat.
And in the earlier editions of the
story of Paul Dombey, Charles Dick,
ems sets one of the stupid boys in that
school where the little chap learned
the rudiments, at repeating a chapter
"from the first Epistle of Paul to the
Ephesians," as his punishment fol

HARVESTING GRAIN

Men differs as to the best and prop
er time to cut wheat. Many say it
should stand until the grain is quite
hard, and then cut and put it into the
barn almostimmediately after, Others
cut earlier and often put it into the
barn or stack before it has had time to
cure. l have no doubt, if the wheat
is intended for seed, though the sam
pie will be quite rough and will not
look so nice, it is better to let it get
quite hard previous to cutting; but for
grinding, and to make sure of fine
sample for sale, this is a mistake.
When secured in this hard state, and
through being so long exposed to the
sun before cutting, it is impossible for
the miller to separate the barn from
the flour so thoroughly; consequently
the flour is coarse and brown. Also.
when cut so late, if there is much to
handle; considerable will be lost before
the whole is secured.
For several reasons it is desirable TO
cut while in a soft state. Ifthe berry
is past the milky state, and when like
soft dough, it is as good time as can
be. l have known large wheat raisers
to cut it very green. The color is
brighter, the berry more plump, the
quality nicer, the straw softer and
tougher-not so liable to break up when
thrashed-all of which is very desirable.
1t is a settled question that more and
Bft56r, tlQpg nG5aqp nG5aqp be made from this
cure before hauling. Many object to
this on account of rains, and are anX-
ious to barn the grain Immediately after
cutting. We know it is not pleasant
to have rain day after day on wheat if
not properly set up in shock.
My custom is to cut when in the
doughy state, make good sized bundles,
set them up well-six bands upright
and two to cap with, making eight
altogether let them stand till the wheat
is hard enough to grind. The wheat
will not be injured by moderate rains,
and the heads not being much exposed
to the sun will not be injured by dry
ing too quickly. am in no hurry to
haul the wheatif other work is pressing.
l have found all through 80 years eX-
perience that it is the best to cut early
and give sufficient field room. Most
of the musty wheat is caused by being
put together too soon after cutting,
even if the wheat and straw seem quite
dry. Many of our farmers raise
green weeds with their crops, and
these, getting mixed up with the wheat,
cause it to heat and mold in the NOV
or stack. Ohio Farmer.

tools or not depends on how we'll YOU
like such things, and how much pa
tience and perseverance you have. 1t
is a hard thing to learn, and but few
comparatively can do it well. When
you have learned to plane and joint a
board, frame a gate, or even pig
pen, and do it well, you have done a
good thing. No matter what trade
you may learn, you will never regret
that you learned to use these tools.
If you try your best you will improve
ON every job. But you will remem-
Der that these are only preliminary
steps. Keep your eyes open, and the
first chance you have (ifyou will leave
the farm) 60 to some good shop and
stay at that shop until you have
learned your trade thoroughly. 1t
looks bad for an apprentice to leave
his boss. You will see many dark
days, but remember the bull dog

and earth can't make him let 60"

VOL. 1.-NO. 20.

When the excitement was at its
height in Newark, o., two weeks ago,
a stalwart citizen felt the necessity of
bracing himself up. The mayor had
ordered the closing up of all saloons
and drinking places, and the police
had enforced the regulations rigidly.
But there was back door in Ginger
bread row, and behind the bar there
was long-range lightning whisky. The
stalwart citizen crept in, got his drink
and beat retreat. Soon he was over
whelmed with burning sensations in
his stomach. Something seemed to
be blazing there, and he burst into a
doctors office exclaiming, tsFor Gods
sake pump me out quick p' "What is
wrong with your" inquired the doctor.
"Get the pump ready while / am tell
ing you. | am burning up inside. L
took a drink down on Gingerbread
row. They have put a job up ON me,
am poisoned| The doctor sudden
ly interposed: "Why, 1 smell some
thing burning myself" and opening
the patients waistcoat found a hole
three inches in diameter burned in the
shirt-front. While the stalwart citi-
zen was taking his drink he had drop
ped cigar-stump between his waist
coat and shirt. Didn't you smell
smoke" F." asked the doctor. "You're
right l did, but l thought it was COM
ing out of my mouth"

Mr.. Moody has written letter to
the Springfield Republican, in which
he explains his attitude towards the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and utterly denies having made any
statement detrimental to the Christian
profession of Mrs. Livermore. He
alleges that he had forborne to en-
courage cooperation with the Union
simply on the ground that he had
no faith in the power Of pledges alone
to reform men, but rather in a renew
ed heart and divine strength. With
these convictions he declares he could
not connect himself with any society
which might oppose what he esteemed
the fundamental doctrines of the Cos
pei. He entirely disclaims any per-
sonal feeling against any member o1
the society, and is surprised to tind
such uncharitable statements attrlbu.

Utterly put away, if you would exhibit
to the view of man any traces of the
Gospel. To contend for the faith
does not mean that you are to be

tend for the faith is = very different
matter from contending with your
brethren. The one is peaceful war
fare, q devotion to the truth, the pur-
suit Of high and noble end; the 9th

nature. The Lord employs no one to

be deceived; your religion is vain ex-

Of the hens. The hen seemed fixed to
the spot but was tapping her wings in
singular manner. Mrs. Wells killed
the reptile which was of a dark color,
and was not like the ordinary striped
snake. The most curious part of the
story is that the hen laid an egg soon
after, and the little end of the egg
shell was exactly the shape of a ser

HOG CHoLERA.-The Cincinnati Pro-
duce Reporter says "Turnips are said
to be certain cure for the disease
known as as cholera in hogs. Many
experiments have been made by Major
John Million of Laplata, Macon Co.,
Missouri, and his neighbors, and
always with success when the hogs
were not too far gone to eat turnips.
this vegetable is easily raised, and ifit
proves to be so valuable elsewhere as
the testiomeny shows it to be in
Macon county, farmers who raise
hogs should always have supply
on hand" The relief is probably due
to change of diet as much as anything
else. If turnips, beets, potatoes, anc
other roots and vegetables were fec
with corn, there would be very mucl
! less hog cholera reported.
