Farmers, BE Encouraged.

Farmers are often perplexed because the
boys show spirit of discomfort at their
work. The lad behind the counter with
his sensation collar is more attractive to
these boys than the lad behind the plow
1t is difficult to convince such that they
are mistaken. The country gentleman
with his fertiiized fields, valuable stock,
weli-selected books and papers, and in
telligent family, span OF horses and fine
roaus, has within his reach more of the
enjOyments of life than his brother the
city merchant, who is worried with appre-
hension and ruined by panics There is
no business or bank that gives more gener-
GUS returns than the well-used field.
Well-managed farms are rich in dividends.
No one has ever been wrecked financially
who has trusted the pillow and tended well
his cattle. The farms boys who are itch
ing for speculation and for city life should
study the sad stories of thousands upon
thousands OF young men who to-day are
scattered over the land without shoes or
flannel, and unable to find employment.
Labor on farm always assures fresh
eggs, fresh milk, juicy vegetables, COM
Portable clothing and shelter. That is
better than asking for bunk in city
station-house or plate of thin soup at a
charity institution. Young men on the
farm ought to be impressed with the fact
that at least ninety per cent. of those who
enter mercantile life are failures. The
farmer who avoids the tavern and the race
course fares better. He has always some
thing to show for his toll. Are we to be
told that the countryman has no oppor-
tunity for benefiting the world? That is
a mistake. On every hand avenues are
open to him for communication with it.
Ii he has found an improved plan for
making two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, the agricultural papers
are at his disposal, and his voice can be
heard at the annual fairs. Endless oppor-
tunities are afforded him in politics. He
may assist in founding village libraries,
and in this way prepare statesmen like
Webster, editors like Greeley and Gospel
preachers like Finney. The farmer with
energy and universal good will has leisure
for contemplation and great opportunities
for doing good. He will be an agreeable
companion for the village doctor and a
warm supporter and friend of the neigh
boring clergymen. Is there any good
reason why every township should not have
such farmers by the score? We know of
none.-N. Y. Witness.

Cattle on Pastures In Spring.

A word of caution is not out of place al
this time in regard to turning stock out
to pasture. After having been shut up in
stables, sheds and yards during most OF
the winter, and fed on dry feed, bite OF
fresh grass, just starting in growth is very
greatly relished by the cattle, and some
farmers are disposed to crafty the appe.
tite of their stock little too early for the
good of their pastures. The ground
should be fairly settled, for # the cattle
are turned upon it while it is soft and
spongy the sod will be cut up and injured
before the grass has obtained fair start,
and the injury will hardly be repaired
during the season. The sparseness of the
feed causes the stock to roam over the en-
tire field day after day, and it sometimes
happens that great damage results from
want of consideration in this matter I'm
der such treatment there is little wonder
that pasture soon runs out.
There are those that hold that it is a
good plan to turn cattle out early, before
the young grass has fairly started, because
they will then eat a considerable quantity
of last years dry grass while cropping the
new, and thus naturally become accus-
toned to the change as the season ad-

but will not answer in all, and the farmer
must decide whether or not it is good
policy. The condition of the pasture
must mainly decide the question. If the
land is not too wet, and there is well es-
tablished firm sod which was not pastured
too late the preceding Eel this plan is, for
several reasons. judicious.
But while it is unwise, as a rule, 20
turn the cattle on the pastures as soon as
the young grass begins to appear, it is just
as unwise to continue them in the stables
or yards and feed them on dry fodder al
most exclusively until there is full feed
of grass in the pastures. When they are
turned out under such circumstances,
they find the tender heritage so exceed
ingly palatable, after their long confine-
ment on dry feed, that they fill themselves
with the succulent grass, which acts as a
cathartic or purgative; and in such cases
it not unfrequently weakens and debili-
tates the cattle to degree that is highly
injurious. In proper quantity, green
grass is highly beneficial in cleansing the
stomach and intestines of stock, and
bringing about healthy action through.

A Horrible Scene.

At about four O'Clock on Yesterday
morning great vivid fame poured into
the windows of the sleeping town of Con-
| yers, and awakened the Inhabitants. The
Jail was on fire.
The afrighted people hurried to the
scene OF the fire, and found that the
flames had gone beyond their power to
creek them. There was no fire-engine in
| the town.
The entrance to the Jail was from the
second-stcry, and the steps had burned
away. The roof had nearly fallen in, and
the flames were licking downward over
the solid. impenetrable first story, which
made the dungeon. About this time the
crowd began to inquire whether or not
there were any prisoners confined in the
dungeon. 1t TRANSFERRED that there were
two men locked up by the fire in this fatal

1t was apparent at once that nothing
less than miracle could save them from
horrible death. The steps to the en-
trance were burned away. The doorway
and the whole top of tine house was q
mass of flames. The heat was 30 intense
that no one could approach the building.
Somehow or other an AZ was thrown over
into the dungeon, and the negroes began
to try and cut their way out Of the sitting
den in which they were Gagged. Only q
few moments were left, Is the fire was be-

The Secret of a True Life.

THERE is some masterful principle
sovereign over each life.
In the crypt of the Cathedral of St.
Paul, in London, you come upon the
grave of Sir Christopher Wren. Upon
the marble you read in Latin the inscrip.
ton: " If you would see his monument
look about you" In other words, the
vast Cathedral. with its soaring dome, is
but the rehabilitation of tie thought
which once thrilled that brain, now
moldering in the grave before you. The
building is but the obedient issue of the
plan conceived and carried out by the
great builder. In this sense every mans
life is his own monument as we'll,
Whether ones life be strong and sur
mounting, like that dome, grazing the
stars almost with its gilded cross, OF
whether it be shabby and shambling, like
many of the smitten, decaying buildings
lining the riverside under the dome's
shadow; whether the life be builded of
gold, silver, precious stones, which will
endure, or be but mass, thrown to.

man upon the principle = the inner

energizing idea which lies behind the
life. The life of every man is bQt the
servant of his architectural choice. True
lives do not happen. If man live well.
It is because, on the whole, he chooses to

. Brought In by a SMILE"

A LONDON minister said to brother
clergyman, one Monday morning: Seven
persons were received into my church
Yesterday, and they were all brought in by
SMILE"
Brought in by a smilei" echoed the
astonished listener !" what do you mean ?"
81 will explain. Several months ago,
as passed certain house on my way to
church, / saw, held in the arms of its
nurse, beautiful infant. AS it fixed its
large eyes on me smiled, and the sweet
child returned the smile. The next Sab
bath the babe was again before the win
dow, and again gave it smile; and this
SMILE The third Sabbath looked up at
the window as ! passed, and now the babe
smiled down on me, and this time l
threw to the pretty prattler kiss: In:
stantly one little hand was extended, and
a kiss thrown back to me. And so it
came to pass that learned to watch for
the baby on my way to church; and asthe
weeks went by noticed that the nurse
and the baby were not alone. Other
members of the family pressed to the win.
dow to see the gentleman who had
always smile for the household pet.
Zone Sabbath, as l passed, two chill
dren, boy and girl, stood at the win
dow, beside the baby. That morning the
father and mother had said to these chill
dren: Make yourselves ready for church,
for we think that the gentleman who al
ways smiles to the baby is minister.
When he passes, do you follow him and
see where he preaches.' The children
were quite willing to follow the sugges-
ton of their parents; and after | had
passed, the door opened and the children
stepped upon the pavement, and kept near
me from street to street. until l entered
my own church, where they followed me,
and seats were given them.
When they reached home they sought
their parents, and exclaimed, eagerly
He is minister, and we found his
church, and he preached a beautiful SER
mon this morning. You must go and hear
him next Sabbath. To persuade the
parents was not difficult, and, guided by
their children, they found their way to
church. They, too, were pleased, and
other members of the household were in
duced to come to the house of God. God
blessed to them my ministry, and seven
members OF this household have been led
to give their hearts to Jesus, and to unite
with the people of God; and 1 repeat
what before said to you, that they were
brought in by smile"
No one is too poor, too full of labor and
care to give smile and kind word; and
the loving Savior makes use of instru-
ments so simple to bring souls into His
kingdom.-ChrSstidn at Work.

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

AT Peavine, New, few days ago, a
miner named Cameron deliberately blew
himself up with dynamite. he was torn
to atoms.
AT Marietta, Ca, one day lately, q
mother, with her child in her arms, was
standing near kettle of boiling soft soap,
when the little one suddenly sprang out of
her arms and fell headforemost into the
pot. The mother instantly plunged her
right arm down into the scalding soap
and brought forth her baby, dead, while
her arm was so badly burned and eaten
into by the boiling soap that amputation,
1t was thought, would be inevitable.
"A church congregation in Petersburg,
Va, became weary of waiting for their
pastor, a few nights ago, and dispersed.
The Inder- Appea! asserts that some of
them, while on their way home, spied the
expounder of the Gospel through VIM
dow, seated in parlor by the size of a
lady friend, apparently delighted with her
company, and seemingly forgetful of the
fact that it was the night for holding the
church meeting, which he subsequently
admitted to lie the case.
Capt. B. F. Kimberly, of Denver, COL,
is the hero of a strange adventure. He
was galloping $5O0-horse over the plains,
when, the animal shying to one side, he
was pitched out of the IS ddle, his right
foot being caught and held in one of the
stirrups. In his perilous position his
heal was dragged over the rough ground
and dry cactus plants for hundred yards
or more. In the meantime the Captain,
who is man of great nerve and powerful
build, had taken large knife from his
pocket, and, stretching his arm to its full
length, plunged the huge blade into the
bowels of the beast Not only once, but
several times the knife was buried to the
hilt. The brute finally came to dead
stand-still, then gave sudden lunge, and
dropped dead, falling, of course, upon the
Captain, crushing one. of his legs and in.
fiicting other serious injuries. Capt.
Kimberly extricated himself from the
stirrup and the carcass and crawled mile
and quarter to the nearest house. His
injuries are very severe, if not dangerous.
"A frightful accident occurred about
nine O'Clock yesterday morning at the
pork packing establishment Of Joy
Brothers, near the corner of Second
street and Bremen avenue. An employee
named Pierce Gantz was engaged in kill
ing hogs, and stood upon a staging,
which surrounded large vat of boiling
water, in which the animals were plunged
when killed, to facilitate the work OF
cleaning. An enormous fat hog that was
being butchered died very hard, and in
its final struggle gave CAN'T kick,
which knocked him directly into the vat
Of boiling water. His shrieks were
blood-curdling, and several fellow-work-
men who ran to his assistance expert
enced considerable trouble in getting
him out, owing TO his agonized struggles.
When finally drawn upon the platform
he presented frightful picture Of boiled
flesh, and his means were most pitiful.
A physician was summoned, who did
everything possible to alleviate his pain,
and he was then placed in wagon and
taken to his home, which was not far dis
liant. 1t is feared that his injury will
prove fatal.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
