The Rev. DIR. Deems of New York
took occasion recently to say, in his
pulpit, on Sunday, that his house was
overrun with persons soliciting him
to give them money or to procure sit
uations for them and he added that
he did not in any case furnish pecu-
mary assistance, he was not prepared
to find situations, and that if the i'm
portunities with which he was OPP
pressed continued, he would move
into the country. The Sun says his
recent familiarity with the rich would
seem to have engendered in him a
contempt, if not a hatred, of the poor
yet he who lights fire Oh the cold
and cherries hearth of Want, seems
to us to have imbibed more of the
spirit of our Saviour's teachings than
The sauve clergyman who crooks the
plant hinges of the knee to Wealth,

On Keeping Cider Sweet.

The Massachusetts, Ploughmam, on being
asked if there is anything IL at will keep cider
sweet and not hurt the flavor of it, replies
"Cider may be kept sweet by heating and
bottling to keep it from the air. The usual
method is to fill bottles with sweet cider and
set them on board in fat.bottomed boiler,
with cold water, which is heated to the boiling
point till the cider begins to run over; but
not to boil 80 as to alter its flavor. Then
cork quickly and seal, just as fruits are
treated, and the cider will keep equally as
well. Professor Households way of keep
ing cider sweet was to treat it as follows
when the cider in the barrel is undergoing a
lively fermentation, add as much white sugar
as will be equal to half or three, quarters f
pound to each gallon of cider, and let the
fermentation proceed until the liquid attains
the right taste to suit. Then add an eighth
to quarter of an ounce of sulphite mot SUI
phate) Of lime to each gallon of cider in the
cask, first mixing the powder in about quart
Of cider and then pouring it back into the
cask and giving it thorough shaking up or
rolling After standing bunged up a few
days, to let the matter that was put in get
we'll incorporated with the cider, then it is
ready to bottle. Sulphite of lime is worth
about thirty. three cents pound by the bar
rel, or perhaps fifty cents single pound.
owe have often tried cider so treated !;
but it always had disagreeable sulphur
taste, and we should prefer to adopt the
method of heating. But it may be that
sulphite was not applied quite soon enough,
and that if put in while the cider was sweet
it would prevent fermentation"

How a Cricket Saved a Ship.

In Southey's History of Brazil he tells
how Cabeza de .Vaca was in great ship,
going to South America, with four hundred
men and thirty horses; and after they had
crossed the equator the commander discOv-
cred that there were only three casks of wa.
ter left. He gave orders to make the near
est land, and for three days they sailed for
the coast. A poor, sick soldier, who had
left Cadiz with them, brought a grille, or
ground cricket with him, thinking its cheer
full voice would amuse him on the long, drea-
ry voyage. But to his great disappointment,
the little insect was perfectly silent the whole
way.
The fourth morning after the ship had
changed her course the cricket, who knew
what she was about, set up her shrillest note.
The soldier at once gave warning to the Of
fcers in charge of the vessel, and they soon
saw high, jagged rocks ahead of them. The
watch had been careless, and the great ship,
in few moments, would have been dashed
to pieces on the lodges if this puny creature
had not scented the land and told them Of
their danger. Then they Cruised along for
some days, and the cricket sang for them
every night, just as cheerily as if she had
been in far off Spain, till they got to their
destined port, the island of Catalina.

Giving to the Lord.

Rev. DR.. Craven, of the Third Presbyte
rian church, of Newark, n j., has just been
in controversy with the New York Observer
oh the subject of contributions to church in
situations. The Observer stated that the
Synod of New York gives more than its pro-
portion to the mission cause, and called upon
the country generally on account of its larger
population and wealth to do better. DR..
Craven defends the rural districts, and argues
that ability rather than numbers should be
the rule for giving He calculates in this
wise:
The giving ability of one man worth mil
lion of dollars is immensely greater than that
of one hundred men possessed in the aggre
gate of like amount. The income of one
man worth $1,000,000 is about &c, 900; the
income of each one of the one hundred men
worth similar amount is about $70O The
one man, retaining about $40, 900 per an
mum for his own support and that of his
family, may, without depriving himself of a
single comfort or luxury, and without care
for the future, cast $4,000 into the treas
ury of the Lord. Each one of the one hun
dred must pinch and strain to give 500
which in the aggregate will amount to ony
$4,000, or one.ffth of the whole amount
which one man could give without one act of
self-denial. 1t would take FIVE hundred men
possessed in the aggregate of $4,000, 900 to
give in exercise of self denial what one man
possessed of only 81, 100000 could give from
the mere over. flowing of his abundance
1t is true that the aggregate wealth of the
country is far greater than that of the region
covered by the Synod of New York, but the
wealth of the country is distributed in mil
lions of hands, whilst that of New York is
held by comparatively few.

Family Life in Nazareth.

lilo who has seen che children of Nazareth
in their red craftans and bright TUNES of silk
or cloth, girded with many eolored sash,
and sometimes covered with a loose outer
Jacket of white or blue-he who has watched
the idylic picture Of their games, aud heard
their ringing laughter as they wander about
the hills Of their listle native vale, or play in
bands on the hillside beside their sweet and
abundant fountain, may, perhaps, form some
conception Of how Jesus looked and played
when he, too, was a child. And the traveller
who has followed any of those children-ss
] have done--to their simple homes, and
seen the scanty furniture, the plain but sweet
and wholesome food, the uuegenfal happy,
patriarchal life, may form q vivid conception
Of the manner ia which Jesus lived Moth
ing can be palmer than those houses, with
the doves summing themselves on the white
roofs, and the vines Wreathing about them

Of the family; On q ledge that runs around

Diligence Rewarded.

Long ago little boy was entered at Har-
row School. He was put into class beyond
his years, and where all the scholars had the
advantage of previous instruction denied to
him. His master chided him for his dull
ness, and all his own efforts could not raise
him from the lowest place on the form. But,
nothing daunted, he procured the grsmmars
and other elementary books which mis- class
mates had gone through in previous terms
He devoted the hours of play, and not a few
of the hours of sleep, to the mastering OF
these; till, in a few weeks, he gradually be-
gan to rise, and it was not long till ne shot
far ahead of all his companions, and became
not only dur of that division, but the pride
of Harrow. That boy, whose career began
with this fit of energetic application-you
may see his statue in st. Paul's Cathedral
tomorrow for he lived to be the greatest
Oriental scholar of modern Europe, and
most of you have heard the name of Sir Viii
liam Jones.-Life an Earnest.
