Feelings are very fallacious. Some
Christians are very devout In their
feelings and wretchedly deficient in their
daily conduct. They forget that the
best proof of love to Christ is to keep
His commandments Fervent Chris
tians in the prayer-meeting, they are sor-
ry specimens of Christians outside of it.
There is lamentable lack of conscience
in too much Of the flaming piety which
burns out all its oil in the prayer room
or the ''Praise-meeting" We do not
wonder at the sneers which are often
leveled by shrewd men of the world at
this sort Of revival religion" See to
it that you give no occasion for such
sneers.

PRAYING FOR WHAT WE DON'T

l happened once to be staying with a
gentleman-a long way from bere-a
very religious kind Of man he was, and
in the morning he began the day with a
long family prayer, that we might be
kept from sin and might have Chris
tian spirit and the mind that was also
in Christ Jesus. and that we might have
the love Of God shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost given unto
us. A beautiful prayer it was, and |

EARLY TRAINING OF STEERS
AND COLTS.


But comparatively few oxen are now
raised in this country, horses being used
instead. still some farmers adhere to the
old practice of rearing and breaking
steers for work upon the farm. 1t is
usually customary to commence the
training of steers at an earlier age than
colts, although perhaps no satisfactory
reason could be given for the practice.
Both are immature until certain age,
and the amount of work performed dur
ing this period should be in accordance
with their growth and development. aud
more especially as. some animals are con-
siderably ahead of others in this res
pect. 1t is not best to defer the train
ing Of either steers or colts until three
years old or more, as it will then be
much more difficult to perform this
work, than when commenced at an ear
lier age.
Some may enquire at what age this
process Of training should commence.
We would answer during the first sea-
son, certainly. The winter will be
good time to begin this work. At this
time it will be process of training and
not breaking as it would be two years
later
The steers should be learned the use
of the stall, of being tied up and fed ;
this will require handling and will be-
get familiarity and do away with that
degree of wildness too often witnessed.
They should also be taught the use of
the yoke, or to travel together at word
of command with it. Where this is
practiced the first winter, the lesson
taught will not be forgotten afterward.
The following winter. or one year after
ward, some light work may be perform
ed and they will soon learn to travel
with oxen, the use of the sleds, &c. By
the time they are three years old and
able to perform fair amount of work
they will be already trained to the bust.

them.
Pretty much the same course SHOULD
be pursued with colts as with steers

The Fraudulent Presidents Order
Pohibiting the interference of Office
holders in Elections.

Citizen Hayes, holding the office of
President by fraud and without right,
has recently issued an order prohibit
ing all persons in office under the
United States from electioneering,
getting up and attending political
conventions, or in any other manner
interfering with the elections of the
people.
We like this order, and approve it
for two reasons. The first is, because,
if carried out honestly and in good
faith by Citizen Hayes, it will be the
death Of the Republican party. That
party has retained its pestilent power
and influence for the last five years
through the agency of officeholders
only. They have managed the cleo
tons they have elected the dele
gates, in most instances, more or less
of themselves they have nominated
the candidates and they have raised
the money to elect them.
