THAT DooR.-A rheumatic old gentleman,
whose son was careless about shutting the
front door after him, called out to him one
cold day, when he had left the door swinging
wide, "See here, young man, you leave that
door open too much p "Do II" was the re-
sponse; "then how much open shall leave
it?" II mean you leave it open too often !"
thundered the old gentleman. 20! we'll, how
often shall I leave it open?" politely inquired
the son. The father did not dare trust him
self to reply.

ScARcE-The children of clergyman's
family, in Aberdeen, were making themselves
happy propounding conundrums. Finally one
of them said, "Who was the meekest woman ?"
The clergyman seemed struck with fresh
thought and replied, quickly, "We don't
read of any" But madam made herself even
with him when she rejoined, with quite as
much quickness, "Well, we read of only one
such man, and, from the fuss that's made
about him, it's plain they're scarce"

SHELTER.-It is absolutely necessary that
animals should be sheltered from damp and
cold. The reason why pigs or other animals
do not fatten so readily in cold weather as in
the warmer months is, that the food is largely
used in keeping up the vital heat, which is
now given off in excess and lost. If this loss
is prevented, animals will fatten in winter as
readily as at any other time.

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.

And he buried him in a valley in the lant
Of Moab, over against Bethpeor; but no mar
knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day

By Nebo's lonely mountain ss.. - .f

In the vale in the land of Moab )
There lies lonely grave;
And no man dug that sepulchre, ....,. .
And no man saw it eer,
For the angels of God upturned the sod;
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth, .....t
But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train go forth. :
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on the oceans cheek
Grows into the brilliant sun.
Noiselessly as the spring time
Her crown of vordure weaves, { !
And all the trees on all the hills,
Open their thousand leaves;
So, without sound of music,
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountains crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On grey Bethpeor's height,
Out of his rocky eyrie
Looked on the wOndr0us sight.
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns that hallowed spot;
For beasts and birds have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not
But when the warrior dieth, .... :
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muff1ed drum,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken, ,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his champing steed, $780,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest in the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honor'd place
With costly marble dressed,
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the sweet choir sings, and the organ rings
Along the emblazoned wall
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword
This was the most gifted poet
That ever breath'd word; ts:y
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen Z
On the deathless page truths half so sage
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor?
The hill side for his pail, -
To lie in state while angels wait, . :
With stars for tapers tall;
And the rocking pines, like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And Gods own hand, in that lonely land,
To lay him in the grave. .'.'' q q
In that deep grave without name, {
Whence his uncoffined clay
Shall break again, most wondrous thought,
Before the judgment day;
And stand with glory wrapped around qac

And speak of the strife that won our life !
With the Incarnate Son of God.

o dark Bethpeor's hill,
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still. -.
God hath his mysteries of grace,
Ways that we cannot tell;

OF him he loved so well. &C.. -..

Cold FEET.-Cold feet usually result from
unequal circulation. People ofactive minds
will generally find reliefby wearing, at times,
during their mental tasks, linen or cotton
skull.cap, frequently wrung out in cold water.
The brain is thus cooled, and the blood sent
more naturally to the extremeties.
A brilliant New York minister was COMPEL.
ed to write his sermons with his feet in hot
bath. A prominent hydropathist advised the
wet head-cap, and it worked like charm, en-
abling him to dispense with the inconvenient
tub of water.
The feet should be washed in tepid water
every day or two, but not in water so hot as
to make them tender. In concluding the
bath, dip them into quite cold water, which
closes the pores naturally, and then wipe and
rub them entirely dry and warm. When
your feet are cold, stop and warm them. No
business at the desk, the counter, the bench
no domestic task or conventional circum-
stances-is of so grave Importance as to
warm ones feet when they are cold. You
can't afford the hazard to health incurred by
Indifference to the discomfort nature is giving
you as premoniton, of danger. Keep your
feet dry. If, by accident, you wet your feet,
don't be foolish and sit till death-damp steals
your vitals. Exercise common sense and re-.
move the wet stockings. If chilly, take a
warm foot-bath, ending with the cold dip
and rubbing dry. If, in ajudicious way, peo-
pie would wet their feet oftener-clean up to
their ears-it would be better for their health.

CURE FOR WoUNDs.-Ass soon as wound
is Inflicted get little stick-a knife or file
handle will do-and commence to tap gently
on the wound. Do not stop for the hurt, but
continue till it bleeds freely, and becomes per-
fectly numb. When this point is reached you
are safe-all that is necessary is to protect it
from the dirt. Do not stop short of the bleed
ing and numbness, and do not on any account
close the opening with plaster. Nothing
more than little simple cerate on clean
cloth is necessary. We have used and seen
this used on all kinds of simple punctures for
thirty years, and never knew a single instance
of wound becoming inAamed or sore after
treatment as above. Among other cases: A
coal-rake tooth going entirely through the
foot, bad bite by sucking pig, several in:
stances of file shanks through the hands, and
numberless cases of rusty nails, avis, etc., but
we never knew failure Of this treatment.-

A MILE AP1EcE.-Mr. Lester said that
when he was boy ten or twelve years of age,
he was one day standing in Market Square
with his granfather, when four Irishmen came
up. One of them asked the distance to Paw
tueket. He was told by the old gentleman
that it was about four miles. swell, faith"
said Pat, in mock tone of encouragement to
his three tired companions, "that's not bad at

THE DEACON ANswERED.-Up in New
Hampshire where I used to live when boy,
(says Gov. Noyes) there was loud praying
old hypocrite, deal more pious than hon
est. When he had done any particularly
mean thing, he eased his conscience by going
into the field, along one side of which was
stone wall, and kneeling beside it. prayed the
Lord to topple it over on him if he had done
anything offensive to Him or wrong in His
sight. Well, we boys found it out, and one
day when we saw the deacon making for the
stone wall, we got on the other side and wait.
ed. He knelt down according to his usual
custom, and went through his usual formula,
closing with the petition to have the wall top
pied over if he had done any thing wrong.
And we toppled it. Jumping out from un.
der the stones, the old man cried, in tones of
mingled disgust and alarm
"Good gracious, Lord! Cant you tell
when man is joking?"

NAMING THE BABY.-It is sometimes
work of several weeks ITO name the baby :"
but here is case where the right word was
gotten without even trying. A young lady
in Woodstock had her Christian name sug-
sested by an exclamation of her grandmoth-
er, who, after adjusting her spectacles, to view
for the first time the features of the newborn
baby, exclaimed, II declare!'' The child
was christened, Ida Clair."

Too MANY ZEB VANcEs.-Among the
large number of letters received at the execu.
tive Office yesterday, was one from young
hopeful from a western county who, as stated
in his letter, was IA years, months and 8
days old, addressed to the Governor and signed
"Zeb Vance" II am informed" said he,
that you are giving premium of s. in cash
and chrome to all boys like you that is
named "Zeb Vance" and please send mine by
post office order at once" The Governor re-.
piled to his young namesake, that he had been
incorrectly informed as to the So and chrome,
but enclosed neat little keepsake that will
doubtless be highly appreciated by the youth
full Zeb v. We merely publish this little in.
cident as reminder to the numerous army of
Zeb Vances in the State that there is no truth
in the report. To send each Zeb Vance in
the State SIS and chrome would exhaust the
executive in three days time, to say nothing
of the fall crop yet to come in.-Roleigh Oh.

SELF.CONFIDENCE.

In many of the secular departments and
avocations of life, certain amount of self:
confidence is necessary. In religion, the thing
is totally different. In order to succeed in
any of the avocations of life, we must possess
some confidence in our own abilities. 1t is,
however, not very difficult, even in worldly
affairs, for an individual to be too selfcon6-
dent In religion, the smallest amount Of
selfreliance is ruinous. The moment we con-
clude that we are proof against temptation,
we give convincing evidence that We have
both been tempted and have been overcome
BY temptation. Whenever We conclude in
our minds that we are eminently pious. it is
fearful proof that the enemy of all good
has full control Of our hearts.
Self:righteous Pharisees are farther from
the kingdom of heaven, than sin-burdened
publicans. Generally, those who have least
piety, make the greatest boast of their religion.
The life of every Christian is life Of
faith. Self-confidence is the very opposite of
faith. The life of the child of God is one Of
continual dependence. In Christ he lives, in
Christ he moves, and in Christ is all his be-
ing. In Christ he expects to fnd an atone.
ment which will take away the guilt of sin /;
in Christ he expects to find ajustifying right
eousness, and in Christ he expects to find
preserving and sanctifying grace.
The scheme of redemption which is laid
down in the Scriptures, permits no place for
selfconfdence and excludes boasting. The
only thing in which the believer boasts is in
the Lord, and all that he glories in is the
cross of Christ.

"Then," said Margaret "your Majesty
ought to grant me pardon" ..
"But what assurance can you give MI" "
said the Queen, "that you will not make the
like attempt on some other occasion ?"
MADAM" replied Lambrun, "a favor CIV
en- under such restraint is no mere favor /;
and, in so doing, your Majesty would act
against me as judge"
The Queen turned to some of her council
and said, II have been thirty years Queen,
but do not remember to have had such lec-
ture ever read to me before;" and immedi.
ately granted an entire and unconditional
pardon. Margaret Lambrun showed her pru-
dence by begging the Queen to extend her
generosity still farther, and grant her safe
conduct to the coast of France; with which
request Elizabeth complied.
