1t if possible.
The South had in part this 'tremen-
dous political force" previous to the re-
bellion, as belonging to sovereign states
of the Union, under the provisions of the
Constitution. When the war ended and
the slaves were free, no leader in the Re
publican party was more clamorous than
Mr.. Blaine for so amending the constitu-
ton as to make masters of former slaves,
and slaves of the former masters. So far
as constitution and law could do it, they
accomplished this. But in doing so, they
could not ignore the plain provisions of
the Constitution, and the fact that by
freeing the negro population it must be
made to count in future as a whole, like
that OF the North, and not for three -ffths,
as before, in apportioning representatives
in Congress and electors of President By
entranchisng ignorance they could not
control in the South, as they do every
where The consequence has been that
the South has united for the preservation
Ct its interests, as any other portion of a
country would do, in the presence of such
evils as Mr.. Blaine and his party threaten
to intiict. And in this purpose the intel
lgent negro stands shoulder to shoulder
with the white man. But it is ludicrous-
~ strange to hear Mr.. Blaine reproachine
the South with possessing Il power which
he and his party have thrust upon them

: Cats and Caterpillars.

In the course of . lecture on the rela.
lions between plants and insects, delivered
before the Society of Arts in London by
Sir John Lubbock, the speaker instituted
. singular comparison between the color.
ing Of caterpillars and cats. "There are
five principal types of coloring among
caterpillars,'' he remarked: Chose
which live inside wood or leaves, or un-
derground, are generally Of q uniform
pale line; the small leaf.eating caterpil-
lars are green, like the leaves on which
they feed. The other three types may,
81 parva licet componsrs nsagnss, be com.
pared with the three types of coloring
among cats. There are the ground. cats
such as the lion or puma-which are
brOwnish or sand-c0lor, like the open
places they frequent. So also caterpillars
which conceal themselves by day at the
roots of their food plant, tend, as we have
seen, even if originally green, to assume
the color of the earth. The spotted or
eyed cats-such as the leopard-live
among trees; and their peculiar coloring
renders them less conspicuous by MINI
licking spots of light which penetrate
through foliage. Lastly there are the
jungle-cats, of which the tiger is the typi-
cal species, and which have stripes, rem
dering them very difficult to see among
the brown grass which they frequent. It
may, perhaps, be said that this compari-
son fails, because the stripes of tigers are
perpendicular, while those of caterpillars
are either longitudinal or oblique. This,
however, SO far from constituting real
difference, confirms the explanation, be-
cause in each case the direction of the
lines follows those of the foliage. The
tiger, that walks horizontally on the
ground, has transverse bars; the caterpil-
lar, which clings to the grass in a vertical
those which live on large-veined leaves
have oblique lines, like the Oblique ribs
of the leaves"

Pray Without Ceasing.

A NUMBER of ministers were assembled
for the discussion of difficult questions,
and, among others, it was asked how the
command, "Pray without ceasing, could
be complied with. Various suggestions
were stated, and at length one of their
number was appointed to write upon the
subject, and read it at the next meeting,
which being overheard by a plain, sensi-
BILE girl, she exclaimed: " What, a whole
month TO tell the meaning of that text!
1t is one of the easiest and best texts in
the whole Bible" Well, WE'LL" said
an old minister, MARY, what can you

Get Christ into Your Homes.

THERE is q woman have met within
twenty. four hours who has q drunken
husband and five children. She is not q
Christian, but if she will only take Christ
into that home and Just live for Christ, it
won't be long before that husband is won
to the Savior. I heard the story of
father who was an ipfidel and drunkard,
and he had little con who became - con-
vert to Christ. But his father forbade him
to pray, and flogged him for praying. But
this didn't stop It, and finally he said to the
boy, " II you continue to pray you must
leave the house." And the boy went and
did mp little bundle of clothes and went
to his mother and said, "Good- bye, moth
err" and she said, Why, where are you
goingr' 81 don't know" why,
what do you meanr' "Well, father says
he won't have me in the house if l am q
Christian, and / must pray TO God. :"
Well, the mother hated to part with him,
but she saw it would be no use to oppose
him; 30 she kissed him aud, with tear
running down her cheeks, she said fare
we'll" And then the boy kissed his little
sister and held out his hand to his father
and said, Goodbye, father; I shall pray
for YOU" And, as he went down street,
his father couldn't stand ii and he came
running down after him, and he said.
Come back; If that il religion, l want
it." The boy prayed with him that night,
and that drunkard and that inlidel was
converted. This story visibly affected
many In the audience.] II there Is .
mother here that has dafk home, let her
take Christ intoi it. If she has husband
that hates her and hates the church,
Christ has the power to break that heart
and then heal t. 0, may God help us to
realize this truth, that God sent Christ
into the world to heal the heartbroken.
He can heal every broken heart in this a.
sembly, every broken heart in Ill Boston,

wounded and bleeding hearts to Him.

A Batch Of Why's:

Why are Ambassadors the most perfect
people in the world? Because they are
all exccllencies. Why is sympathy like
blind mans buff? It is fellow feeling
for fellow-creature. Why is the sun like
q good loaf? Because it's light when it
rises. Why is q crow brave bird? Be-
cause she never shows the white feather.
Why is the " Home Cook Book, " Chicago,
acknowledged to be the most valuable and
elegant extant? Because the recipes all
come from ladies of influence and good
judgment, with permission to use name,
and no lady would publicly endorse q
recipe with her name unless it was the
very best she knew. Therefore Why
is sawyer like q lawyer? Because which
ever way he goes, down comes the dust.
Why are washerwomen silly people? Be-
cause they put out their tubs to catch soft
water when it rains hard. Why is man
who doesn't lose his temper like school
master? Because he keeps cool (kceps
schooD. Why are mountains like invalids
Because they look peakish. Why are um-
brellas like pancakes? Because they are
seldom seen after Lent. Why cannot two
slender persons ever become great friends
Because they will always be slight &C

Tricks On Farmers.

ATTENTION has already been called to q
bill passed by one House of the Legisla-
ture to annul pfomissory notes and con-
tracts altered, after being made, by inter-
pOiati0n or erasures. It is intended to
protect farmers from the fraudulent de-
vices of travelling sharpers. The propri-
ety9of it is illustrated by cheat new be-
ing practised in some parts of this State
by cloth peddlers. They are very accom-
modating; they do not want money; they
are willing to sell their goods, not only
very cheap, but on six or nine months
credit. They offer several pieces of cloth
and dress-gO0ds, enough to make . suit
for each member Of q farmers family, for
80 or $20-which is only fourth Of its
real value-and agree to take the farmers
note at six months In payment. The
bargain Is 90 enticing that il is caught at
Immediately, and the note, drawn by the
peddler, Is signed, and the sharper takes
hts departure toplay the same trick ON
others.
Six months aftorward the farmer ii
notified by the bank or . noee.broker in
the netghboriug town that his note for
411O or $50 p due and must be psid.
The farmer is surprised; he endeavoTs to
explain that the mote Ii question was for
only $40 OF go; but there are the figures
to speak for themselves; an additional
ono had been prehxed, % - TO increase
the note BY 800, and the unsuspecting
farmer finds himself caught in trap. If
the purchaser proposes 1t the time Of the
transaction to pay for the goods in cash,
the rascally peddler declines to receive it,

JELLY MERINGUEs.-Makes some paste,
not very rich, ROLL quite thin, bake and
cut in squares, diamonds or any shape
you may fancy. Spread over them neatly
and evenly any kind of jelly. Currant or
plum is especially nice. Let the layer of
jelly be very thin, and over it put whipped
cream to the thickness of half an inch.
Of course the whipped cream must be
sweetened and favored. Then make q

thinly on buttered paper and brown in
the oven. Loosen from the paper and
place on top of the whipped cream and
you have most delicious dessert. After
you have made it once you will find it
