OF REST IN HEAVEN.

Out of the slowly gathering dusk of
an evening in May there came to my ear
the sweet, clear call of the thrush. L
could not see the bird, nor the bush on
which he had poised himself, nor the
nest hidden deity among the branches
where his mate was patiently brooding.
All of the singer was hidden from my
view; but the song, like silver trump
et-call, came ever through the twilight,
bringing to nay ear a wonderful sense of
peace. Till the stars came out, at in
tervals l heard the music of the thrush,
a thing glad, yet mysterious. At last it
ceased. So, dear friends, as we 90 on
our way to the heavenly land, we come
often to twilight spaces, shut in by the
gloom of bereavement, unpervaded by
the sunshine of joy. And sometimes,
in the shadowy hour, we hear angel
songs, and, sweeter than angel songs,
the voices Of dear ones who testify Of
the never failing grace of God, and we
are cOmforted. The thrush is pouring
out its lOve-song in the dusk, and we
are filed. with hope, for we know that
we are going to the light, to the land Of
beauty, song and never fading bloom

The EVERLASTING ARMs.-One of the
sweetest passages in the Bible is the one,
Underneath are the everlasting arms"
1t is not often preached from; perhaps
because it is felt to be SO much richer
and more touching than anything we
ministers can say about it. But what
vivid idea it gives of the divine support
The first idea of infancy is resting in
arms which maternal love never allows
to become weary. Sick-room experiences
confirm the impression when we have
seen a feeble mother or sister lifted
from the bed of pain by the stronger
ones Of the household. In the case of
our heavenly Father the arms are felt
but not seen. The invisible secret sup
port comes to the soul in its hours of
weakness and trouble for God knoweth
our feebleness. he remembers we are but
dust. We often sink very low under
the weight of sorrows. Sudden disap-
pOintments can carry US, in an hour,
from the heights down to the very depths.
Props that we leaned upon are stricken
away. What God means by it very
often is just to bring us down to "tht
everlasting arms ~ We did not fee
our need of them before. We were
making flesh our arm" and relying or
human comfort or resources.

THE INNER LIFE.

What q lovely thing is human soul !
Men walk aboard and exchange greet
ings with their fellows. and utter light,
careless words. and all the while apart
and deep down within them is world
of thought and feeling, of hopes and
fears, hidden away from every mortal
eye-known only to God. They them
selves are conscious that their words and
actions are often but very imperfect ex-
ponents Of this inner life, and that by
far the larger proportion Of their thoughts
and lOngings and aspirations never find
expression-never come to the surface
at all. Not more truly do the up-heaved
rocks give but slight indications of the
mighty forces at work beneath them
than does the outward life of the work
that is going ON in every human soul.
We are prone to be harsh and superficial
in our judgment of each other. We say
Of some, how light, how giddy, how
reckless they are, and know not that
God may see beneath the gay exterior
anxious thought and earnest aspirations.
And herein lies great hope. Because
your loved one was taken, it may be
suddenly, away, and left behind no pos
tive sign that he was o Christian, it
does not necessarily follow that he was
not. l say necessarily, for ordinarily
the tree is known by its fruit, but in
view of the experience of every one of
us, may we not believe that the ALL
searching Eye sometimes discerns in
souls the beginnings of good which un-
toward circumstances or other causes,
have not permitted to develop as yet
but which may yet yield rich fruition
in the paradise Of God Doubtless, as
has been said, if ever we reach heaven
we shall meet many whom we never ex.
pected to see there.

WARNING WITH THE WEEDs.-The
labor required to kill one hundred
weeds, we'll grown and firmly rooted
will kill ten thousand when just sprouted.
1t is easier in every respect to go over
your ground three times when weeds
are in the earliest stages of their exist
ance, than once after they have become
firmly established. Another point of
much Importance is proper arrange
ment of the crop and the use of suitable
implements. A prominent New England
horticulturist plants everything, when
that is practicable, in drills, as straight
as line can be drawn, thus greatly
facilitating culture either by hand or by
horsepower.

How TO BE MISERABLE Think about
yourself; about what you want, what
you like, what respect people ought to
pay you, what people think of you, and
then to you nothing will be pure. You
will spoil everything you touch you
will make sin and misery for yourself
out of everything which God sends you /;
will be as wretched as you choose on
earth or in Heaven, either. In Heaven,
either, 1 say. For that proud, greedy,
selfish, selfseeking spirit, would turn
Heaven into hell. 1t did turn Heaven
into hell for the great devil himself. 1t
was by pride, seeking his own glory $50
at least men say that he fell from
Heaven 10 hell. He was not content to
serve God and rejoice in Gods glory.
He would be master himself and set w
for himself and rejoice in his own glory
and so, when he wanted to make a pri
vate heaven of his own, he found that b,
had made hell. When he wanted t,
be little god for himself, he lost tn,
life Of the true God-to loose which i
eternal death. And why? Because hi
heart was not pure, clean, honest, simpl
and unsel6sh. Therefore he saw Go
no more, and learned to hate him who's
name is love.-Kingley's Sermons.

A SEAsoNABLE WARNING.-An ex-
change gives this timely suggestion:
Cooling off suddenly when heated sends
many of our farmers youth to an early
tomb. 1t is often matter of surprise
that SO many farmers boys and girls
die in consumption. 1t is thought that
abundant exercise in the open air is d.
rectly opposed to that disease. So it is !;
but judgement and knowledge of the
laws of health are essential to the pres
ervation of health under any circum-
stances. When over.heated cool off
slowly; never in strong draft of air.
Gentle tanning, especially if the face is
wet with cold water, will soon produce
delightful GOODNESS, which leaves no
disagreeable results"

HOW TO APPLY PARIS GREEN.

The question is often asked, what
shall be done to destroy the botato bug?
l will say that the experience of many
of our best farmers in Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Maine justi6es the
conclusion that Paris green. properly
applied, is the most safe and sure and
also the cheapest remedy. Some apply
it mixed with water, but the most ap-
proved method is to mix thoroughly 20
parts sifted -four with one part pure
Paris green and apply sparingly where
ever the slugs make their appearance.
This application will need to be repeat
ed several times during the season. The
-four and Paris green may be convenient
ly mixed on large sheet of paper with
a spoon or knife. The most convenient
thing for applying the mixture is tin
basin, holding 2 or 3 quarts, with a lid
to cover the top, and finely perforated
tin bottom to which is attached wood
en- handle about 5 feet long. With
this, the work on rows can be carried
along at the same time, and the operator
need not inhale any of the material.
This mixture with the action of the dew
forms slight paste upon the leaf which
effectually destroy the slugs without in
jury to the potato. From OF. to a
pound of Paris green will be required to
the acre according to the number of
times it becomes necessary to apply it..
1t if said that the whole cost of exter-
minating the bugs in this way through
the whole season, will not exceed two
dollars per acre.

The Massachusetts Poughnaan says.
"Don't try to fatten your pig rapidly
until you have first grown him. You
cannot make heavy hog unless you
first produce a lengthy pig. Weeds,
clover, meat, scraps, boiled potatoes,
kitchen refuse, any and all heterogeneous
or hesh-forming foods, are preferable
during the early months of the pigs ex-
istence, to the meal and grain, or fat
forming foods which are required for
the fnishing-of process"

EXTRACTING GRUBs FROM THE BACKS
OF CATTLE-Take a small oil can, such
as is used for sewing machine, put in
soft, limpid oil, insert the tip in the
hole made by the grub, and press a
little on the bottom of the can, forcing
some oil around the grub, then press
hard upon each side of the grub, and it
will come out with pop. A dozen may
be taken out this way in less time than
one without oil. These grubs should all
be taken out of cattle's backs, as they
injure the cattle, are painful, and each
female grub taken out prevents several
hundred being produced next year, and
this is the time to do it.

Cows should now have a chance to
put the best foot forward, as this is the
browning month in butter making. Grass
is looking finely, and if the cows have
good pasturage and pure water they do
their full share toward producing gilt
edged butter. Use nothing but the best
of salt, keep everything clean about the
milk, the cream, and the butter after it
is made, and you will have no difficulty
about producing prime article which
will bring good price. But our OBJ

preach cleanliness to dairymen and dali

LIME DUsT.-The following has been
recommended as the best mode for pre-
pairing lime dust for slugs and other in
sects, for mildew, etc: Take say peck
of fresh or sharp lime, broken up into
small pieces then add four pounds of
-four of sulphur, or in like proportions
if in smaller quantity. Add one-third
as much boiling water, or just enough
to slack the lime to dry pouder, and
cover the vessel as soon as the water is
poured on. By adding water it may be
made into an excellent whitewash for
trees, the sulphur increasing its efficacy.
