BUYING ELEPHANTS.

1t is stated that the Baptist minis
ters of New York city are making eff
forts to raise sufficient money to buy
an elephant for the use Of their mis-
sionaries in India. That is COM
mendable enterprise. The fortunate
elephant that gets the honors of mis-
sionary service will do more good
than the poor stolen beasts that
trudge through our land in the timer
ant circus shows. Elephants can do
service, too.
But we have known cases of invest
ments in a certain kind of unwieldly
elephants that did not pay. There
are individuals, and corporations, and
families, and congregations, who have
elephants on their hands, and know
not what to do with them.
The vain and ambitious congrega-
ton that drove off plain and faithful
pastor, and "bought" dashing, bril-
liant, sky-rocket preacher, to tickle
the ears of the world and to "draw,
are waking up to the fact that they
have an elephant on their hands, and
are not able to feed or house the ami
NAL.
The ''leading men" of the small
church, who are determined to have as
fine a place to worship in as their aris-
tocratic and wealthy neighbors, and
who now sit in cushioned pews, under
a lofty roof covered with a fifty thou
sand debt, which they are notable tc
bear, find that they have an elephant
on their hands that proves extremely
inconvenient and troublesome. Big
church, and nobody to fill it. Big
debt and nobody to pay it. Big con
ceit and nobody to feed it. Elephant

A devout life has untold power. Like
the forces of nature it is often hidden
or obscure, but it holds and shakes
the world. Men may refuse to hear
your preaching they are not able to
evade the argument Of blameless and
holy life. The aromy of it fills the at
mosphere its doctrine distills like the
gentle dew, or like the small ram on
the mown grass; its lines go out
through all the earth, its words to the
end of the world there is no speech
nor language where its voice is not
heard. Your religion, to be of any
worth, must be such a life. Profes-
sion is well, but it is only the gateway
to the life-only the sign of the inward
substance. The Gospel was not pro
claimed to give you a creed, but to rem
der possible a devout life You will
be power among men, not in proper
ton to your knowledge, or your nat
ural endowment, but in proportion tc
the sanctity and fullness ofyour relig'
ious life.

A Norfolk, Va, paper contains the
following benevolent announcement Of
a mellow hearted Christian:
In order that many Of the poor and
respectable women and children may
be benefited by remunerative employ
ment, | have determined during the
present picking season to-set apart
certain portions of my strawberry
fields for whites exclusively, and in
no case will they be required to come
in contact with the colored pickers in
the obtainment Of their money for
their labor. This action is dictated
to benefit worthy class of people,
who without this arrangement would
be debarred from the benefits of the
picking season. Those desiring tc
pick berries will make immediate ap-
plication to the subscriber.

A piece Of pasture should by all
means be provided for the swine, es-

Keep only grade pigs ofa good breed,

STRAWBERRIES AND CLovER.-The
fragrance Of the ripe strawberry is
delicious and the odor of white clov-
er in blossom is not surpassed for del
icate sweetness by any flower that
blows. But the two cannot be sue
cessfully grown together. The clover
does well enough, but in proportion as
the clover thriyes the strawberry suf-
fers. White clover is like our sweet
and vigorous farm maidens, who can
earn their own living and make their
own way anywhere, without the least
derogation to their true womanliness.
The strawberry more resembles the
city belle, who must have room to dis
play her charms, as well as delicate
nurture and careful and costly atten-
ton to preserve them. So cared and
tended, there is a wonderful witchery
about them, a voluptuous fragrance
and wealth of color. But the straw
berry beauty cannot stand unprotect-
ed ahainst the aggressive energy and
practical worth of the sweet clover
girls. Moral: Weed your strawberry
beds.

CURRANT WoRMs.-This pest is
abroad in the land, and if one would
secure a crop of fruit, something will
need to be done to check their raw
ages. We have used air-slacked lime,
ashes, and carbolate of lime with good
success, but hellebore is the surest
and most destructive thing to use.
Some prefer to use it mixed with wa
ter, and applied with garden engine
or hand-pump, while others use it as a
powder, sprinkled on with a dredging
box. There is some advantage in us
ing the pump OF engine, for then the
liquid is forced all through the bushes,
and strikes the under as well as the
upper side Of the leaves. The currant
worm works quickly, and the bushes
need watching, for they may be all
right one day, and three days after
cover with worms. There are two OF
three generations of them in a season,
