of salt regularly over the walk; but
this should only be done when the wealth

By treating walks to a slight dressing of
salt every spring and autumn. they may
be kept free of weeds at minimum of the
amount of labor and cost that would be
required to pull them up, and not only
this, but it has such an effect in killing

1t may be remarked, however, that it
does not do to use salt where the edg-

injury, and perhaps be killed altogether

How many fathers and mothers are
wailing over boys that might have been
their comfort and their joy, that are
bringing them down, and are their cross
instead Of their blessing, and are killing
them as they are going down certainly
to a drunkard's grave. All, fathers and
mothers, you have q refuge. Sin has
taken your children away; God can
bring them back. If we cry to God He
will answer our cries. For six thousand
years have broken hearts been crying for
help. and yet how few Of these evils
have been sent up to God for help. Now,
if 1 had broken my arm or leg, should
not think Of going Co bl~elssnaith with
it to have it set. | should 60 to doc
tor. If man has a broken heart he
wants to take it to Christ. He came to
heal the broken-hearted, and if men will
only take their broken hearts to him he
can heal them. There isn't a solitary
soul, that has a burden to bear, but can
carry it to Christ and find relief. There
are great many daughters of affliction
and sons Of sorrow here. If all of them
in this city were to march in here and
through the other door, they would not
all pass in day. And how many of
them, if we had time for them to testify,
would tell bow he has healed their
hearts, how he has come to them in their
hours of darkness. He walked upon the
waters and called to his disciples, at is
1; be not afraid" Right in the storm
and in the midst of your affection he
will cause you to rest in his love. Let
me call your attention to this one truth
There was not man or a woman that
came to Christ when upon earth, in per
son, with any affection or any sorrow
but he received them and healed them
If a mother prays for her boy that il
going astraY. she can get her prayer an
swered. If there is a son in possession
Of the devil, petition to God for hin
will be answered. He heals every bro
ken heart if we will only draw near him
He could do this while he was upol
earth with US. He has just as mucl
power now as he had then. If they will
only come to him, he will take them ant
he will bear their burdens. He says
Cast your burdens upon me-" He will
heal every crushed, bruised and bleedin
heart. How many are willing to pou
the sins of their heart out upon him
How many are praying to have the thor

ADVICE TO GIRLs.-In marrying,
make your own match do not marry
any man to get rid of him, or to oblidge
him or to save him. The man who would
90 to destruction without you, will be
quite as likely to go with you, and drag
you along Do not marry in haste. lest
you repent at leisure do not marry for
home or living, when by taking care
care of your health you can be strong
enough to earn your own living. Do
not place yourself habitually in the So
ciety of any sutton until you have de-
cided the question of marriage; human
wills are weak, and people often become
bewildered and do not know their error
until it is to late. Get away from their
influence, settle your head, and make up
your mind alone. Do not rush thought
lessly, hastily into welded life contrary
to the counsel of your best friends.
Love can wait; that which cannot wait
is something of different character.

Get good tools for your farm even if it
costs something. Don't impede the work
by furnishing your help with worn out,
rusty, or poorly-constructed implements.
1t may be poor workman who quarrels
with his tools. but it is certain that a
good workman and good tools, belong
together. Discard the old decrepit pillow,
and save the price af a new one in the
improved quality of the work, the light
ened labor of the team, and the saving
of valuable time Let the worn out
drill which scattered seeds TOO lavishly
in some places, and left others quite
destitute of seed. fall quietly to pieces
in the rest which its long term of SER
vice has merited, and put new one in
its place. In short. in all departments
of farm work, the motto which has so
long done honor to the dictionary max
ers is not to trite to be valuable. "Get
the BEST" and make the best of it.-Ea-

ANOTHER HoOr.-Two neighbors, a
cooper and farmer, were spending the
evening together. Both were professors
of religion, both of different commun-
ions. Their conversation was first upon
topics relating to a practical religion,
but after time it diverged to the points
Of difference between the two denomin-
ations to which they belonged. 1t first
became discussion and then dispute.
The cooper was the first to see the un-
profitable and injurious tendency, and
remarked, eve are springing apart from
each other; let us put on another hoop
let us pray" They knelt down and
prayed together, after which they spent
the remainder of the evening lovingly
together. conYersing on the things of the
kingdom, in which they both felt an
equal interest. The suggestion of the
cooper was an excellent one, and it were
well were it acted on more frequently by
those who, like him, are members of tn,
household Of Christ.-Spurgeon.

When marble is iron-rusted, it can
usually be removed by rubbing with
lemon-juice. Almost all other stains
may be taken off by mixing one ounce
of finely powered chalk, one of pumice-
stone, and two ounces of common soda.
Sift these together through fine sieve,
and mix with water. When thoroughly
mixed, rub this mixture over the stains
faithfully, and the stains will disappear.
Wash the marble after this. with soap
and water, dry and polish with a cham

In washing oilcloths. never use any
soap or scrub-brush. 1t will destroy an
oilcloth that should last for years in a
short time. Use instead warm water
and skim milk. Keep the best of soap
on hand; but, by fair trial, it will be
seen that full two-thirds more soap is
used than is beneficial. 1t is indispen-
