MIR. MOODY AND THE BABY.-Inci..
dents which severely try the patience OF
pastors and congregations occasionally
occur in all Christian churches. They
are among the infelicities of public wor-
ship. A clergyman interrupted in the
manner referred to may be pardoned for
mentally showing an annoyance which
he does not feel at liberty to express.
On one occasion only have seen a cler-'
gyman avail himself of an Interruption
Of this nature to point moral. This
occurred lest winter at the hiPodrome.
It was an evening service. The house
was densely land when was it otherwise?l
filled. Five or six thousand faces and.
twice as many eyes and ears were looking,
and listening to Mr.. Moody. An impas-
stoned and eloquent portion of his SER
mon was interrupted by the loud crying
of an infant. Mr.. Moody paused, and,
turning to those sitting near him, entered
into conversation with them. The moth
er soon succeeded in quieting the child,
when Mr.. Moody with cheerful express
sion of counteuance resumed; but not
more than FIVE minutes elapsed before a
louder wall was heard. Mr.. Moody again
paused and entered into conversation un-
til the mother second time succeeded
in quieting her child. In the course of
a few minutes, however, the baby's voice
was heard for third time, the mother
and father simultaneously rising, with
the evident intention to depart. That
seemed almost hopeless undertaking, for
they were seated in the centre iof the i'm
mense audience. The parents succeeded
however, in reaching the middle aisle.
Mr.. Moody meanwhile encouraging them
with benignant smile. Their nearest
way out was by side door. There was
almost breathless silence as they passed
down The middle sisle. When near the
preacher he exclaimed, "God bless that
mother. I wish there were many more
Christian mothers possessing the courage
to bring their infants to church when
they cannot leave them safely at home"
The effect was electrical. A sense of re-
lief was felt throughout the house. That
mothers heart was not the only one that
thanked Mr.. Moody for seasonable
manifestation of sense and sympathy,
which did equal credit to his head and
heart 7Hurlow Weed, in Ne,D York 7sr-

ON THE USE OF MULEs.-Mules, on a
general average, live more than twice as
long as horses. They are fit for service
from three years old to thirty. Attwelve
a horse has seen his best days, and is 60.
ing down hill, but mule at that age has
scarcely risen out of his childhood, and
goes on improving until he is twenty.
Instances are recorded Of mules living
sixty and seventy years, but these are
exceptions. The general rule is that
they average thirty. Mules are never
exposed to disease as horses are. I'm
mense amounts of money are annually
lost in the premature death of high.spir-
tied horses by accident and disease.
Mules have organs of vision and hearing
far superior to those Of the horse.
Hence they seldom frigbten and run of.
A horse frightens, but mule, having
superior discernment, both by the eye
and ear, understands everything he meets,
and therefore is safe. For the same rea.
uon he is surer footed, and hence more
valuable in mountainous regions, and OH
dangerous roads. We doubt whether on
the Alpine paths a mule ever made a
misstep. He may have been deceived in
the frmness of the spot where he set his
foot, but not in the propriety of the
choice, ell appearances considered. The
mule, is much more hardy than the horse.
A pair of these animals, although small
in size, will plough more land in week
than four horses. Their faculty of en-.
durance is almost incredible. Another
very important fact is, that in the matter
of food mule will live and thrive ON less
than half it takes to keep horse

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
A PRACTICAL SOLUTION OF THE
LABOR QUESTION.

Now thatsthere seems to be a lull 10;
the political agitations of the day, it
might be very proper time to discuss
the labor question. So far as the inter-
ests of agriculturists are concerned, this
is the most important question that has
ever claimed their attention. Very soon
it must receive satisfactory solution,
and until this desirable point is reached
there can be no material advance in the
agriculture of the country. Every step
taken in the solution of this difficult
question should be carefully noted and
improved on, until this valuable point
has been reached. With this view l beg
leave to call the attention of your read
ers to plan which has been satisfacto-
rily operated for the past year on the
farms of the Messrs. Adger near Pendle-
ton. The plan is to give to the laborer
one-third of all crops raised, the land
lord finding everything except the labor
in the production Of said crops, manure
alone excepted. The labor of all the
hands employed in the cultivation Of
crops OH said farms to be absolutely un-
der the control of the landlord, or his
agent, for the entire year, and when not
employed directly in the cultivation and
gathering ofscrops to be paid for at fixed
rates by the day, week or month, or by
the job. The management of the labor
on these several farms Rev. j. B. Adger,
Capt. J. E. Adger, and J. B. Adger, jr.)
is as systematic and continuous as the
labor in factories or other industrial in
stitutions ofvthe Northern people. At q
given signal the hands report for instruc-
tions from the manager for the day, and
whatever in his Judgment is best to be
done is unhesitatingly performed by the
laborers. In this way the labor on the
farm is, utilized, either in the preparation
for and cultivation of crops, or otherwise
in the improvement of the farm, for
which labor reasonable remuneration is
made. The practical results of the above
system is, that the farm is kept up in q
progressive state of improvement, and
the crops raised are cultivated on the
most approved style. The laborer at the
close, of the year is satisfied, because the
extra wages obtained enables him in
some cases to maintain his family, leav-
ing his entire crop uniucumbered. The
interests of both parties are thus en-
HANGED, but it is done mainly by we'll
directed, unremitting and continuous
labor. Let the above subject be thor
oughly discussed, that correct solution
of the labor question may be obtained.

SELF. DEGRADATIoN.-Nothing hurts
man more than to seem small and igno-
BILE in his own eyes. 1t is the slavish
feeling that degrade the slaved. A
base ambition makes the man that
cherishes it, base. No one can debase
you but yourself. Slander, satire. false.
hood, injustice-these can never rob you
of your manhood. Men may lie about
you. they may denounce you, they may
cherish suspicious manifold, they may
make your tailings the target of their wit
or cruelty; never be alarmed; never
swerve an inch from the line your judg.
ment and conscience have marked out for
you. They cannot by all their efforts
take away your knowledge of yourself,
the purity Of your motives, the integrity
of your character, and the generosity Of
your nature. While these are left, you
are in point of fact unharmed. Nothing
outside yourself can ever make you
smaller than you are to-day. Ifyou shall
dwindle; if leanness and inability shall
come to any faculty; if you shall lose
what makes you an ornament to that rank
and order of intelligence to which you
were born-the loss will be self-indicted
one. SeIf.degradation is the only
degradation man can know.-Gohaen
Rule.

CATCHING HAwKs.-As the season
is approaching when hawks are most de;
structive to young poultry, method of
catching and killing these marauders will
be in order. 1t is a we'll known fact that
hawk will always light on some con-
spicuous place close to the poultry yard,
from which to swoop down on his victims.
Taking advantage Of this, erect pole
with flat surface at the top just large
enough to hold strong steel trap. Fas
ten this trap by a chain to steeple in
the pole, and await results. No bait will
be needed, for the hawk will be quite
certain to light on the trap and be caught
A gentleman who has tried this method
has succeeded in killing all the hawks in
his neighborhood, and now can raise
puuJtrY;without loss except by accident.

Last Christmas Scrofula made its appearance
In my system.:large running ulcers appearing
on ME, as follows: One OH each OF my arms,
one on nv thigh, which extended to the seat,
one on my head, which eat into the skull bone,
one on my left leg, which became 30 bad that
two physicians CAME to amputate the limb,
though upon consultation concluded not TO 40
80, as my whole body was 80 full of Scrotuia;
they deemed it advisable to cut tle sore, which
was painful beyond description, anu there was
q quart of matter run from this one sore:
The physicians all gave Inc up to die, and
said they could do no more for ME. Both oil my
lecs were drawn up to my seat, and II was
thought II rdid get up again would be GRIP

and followed on with II until had used six

RAISING Provisions FOR LABoRERs.

RAISING PROVISIONS FOR LABoRERs.
The laborers on every farm should raise
the food they consume. If the farmer
does not wish to take the risk, let him
arrange with the hands to cultivate for
themselves, under his direction and con-
troll, sufficient crops of corn and wheat
mot cotton) to supply themselves and
families with bread. The farmer can Sc
cure for himself the rent of land thus
planted, and receive pay in work for the
use of teams and implements, and thus
lose nothing. On the other hand, the
laborer will secure his bread much cheap
er than he can in any other manner. As
to meat it would be better-to avoid COM
plication-for the farmer to take the
whole of that matter into his own hands,
and furnish his laborers. AS heretofore
shown, hogs can be raised very cheaply
by utilizing wild fruit-bearing trees, and
planting crops of potatoes, chufas, etc.
1t will be observed that the course re-
commended above, if carried out, would
utilize large portion of our abundant
lands now idle. Instead of the negro
population being fed from lands cultiva-
ted in the Northwestern States, and his
money passing through the merchant into
the pockets Of Northwestern farmers, he
would be supported from the lands of the
Southern farmers, and they 1.-THE farmers
receive practically the rent of vast
quantity of land now entirely unproduc-
tive. The proper place for the negro in
every point of yiew-political, social aud
industrial, is one of friendly subordina-
tion to the whites-insuring on the one
side kindness, care, protection and means
of support, and on the other cheerful,
steady and reliable labor. The time has
come, we think, when in most of the
Southern States such relation between
the races can be readily established.

AN ELEcroR WHO CAME NEAR I'M

AN tLEtTOR WHO CAME NEAR In
MoRTAL1z1NG HIMsELF.-It has just
transpired that there was imminent dan
ger that the detection of Republican
Elector in Pennsylvania would have
solved the problem which has kept the
whole Nation in condition of unquiet
since the 9th of November. Prominent
Pennsylyania Republicans now in Wash.
ington, since the danger:is over, give the
particulars Of the sfair, which disturbed
them so much at the time. The state
ment is that O'Neill, of the ,Pittsburg
Dispatch, one of the Republican Electors,
arrived in Harrisburg on the day before
the meeting of the Electoral College, and
on going to the hotel Immediately sent
for a number of Democratic politicians.
he consulted with these for several hours,
and in the meantime refused to see any
of his Republican friends. This conduct
excited the suspicious of the Republican
managers and committee waited on
him and demanded an explanation of his
conduct. He stated that he was in doubt
what he should do, whether not to vote
at all or to vote for Tilden, because of
what he considered to be the duty Of all
patriotic citizens to respect the will of the
majority, and he believed that the Louis
lana Returning Board had disregarded
the will of the people of that State in
their findings for the Hayes Electors.
The greatest excitement prevailed among
the Republicans in Harrisburg in conse-
quence of this. Every one of the other
twenty.six Republican Electors called on
O'Neill and insisted that there was no
alternative but for him to vote for Hayes.
It was also conveyed to him very dis.
tinctly, it is said, from outside parties,
that if he did snot vote for Hayes he
should never leave Harrisburg alive.
The result was that when the Electoral
College met and O'Neill's name was
called he voted for Hayes, and relieved
the terrible suspense of his associates.
