Scriptures speak plainly and with authority.
The Scriptures testify Of Jesus, the Saviour
Of sinners. We should search the Scriptures
that we may learn how we fell and into what
We fell by sin, and how we may be saved from
sin. We should also search the Scriptures
that we may learn positively what God re-
quires of Us that we may be saved. A few
words are sufficient to inform US on this most
interesting Of all inquiries. Believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, is
the oft.repeated and easily remembered dec
laraton of the Bible.

pS- A boy was playing with sixpenoe, and
put it up his nose. He attempted to get 1t
out again, but it worked its way farther in,
and gave him great deal Of pain. He went
and complained to his father, who held him
firmly and extracted the coin with pair OF
pincers. The boy was indignant because bis
nostrl was lacerated, and ran to his mother
to tell her of his suferings. He said, "Moth-
er, father is getting to be awful mean"
"Mean, child! What are you talking
about?'
Eyes, say mean, and stick to it. He tore
my nose all to pieces because he 'oas AFRAID ne
uould lose that sizpenee l wouldn't be so
mean for any thing"

To KEEP MEATS FREsH.-As soon as the
animal heat is out of the meat, slice it up ready
for cooking. Prepare large jar by scalding
we'll with hot water and salt Mix salt and
pulverized saltpetre to one tea cupful of salt
Cover the bottom of the jar with a sprinkle
of salt and pepper. Put down a layer o.
meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper the same
as if just going to the table, and continue in
this manner till the jar is full. Fold cloth
or towel and wet it in strong salt water in
which a little of the saltpetre is dissolved
Press the cloth closely over the meat and sci
in cool place. Be sure and press the cloth
on tightly as each layer is removed, and your
meat will keep for months. 1t is good plan
to let the meat lie over night after it is sliced
before packing. Then drain of all the blood
that oozes from it. 1t will be necessary to
change the cloth occasionally, and take it of
and wash it-frst in cold water, then scald in
salt and water, as at frst.-Eechange.

He WAS M1srAKEN.-A goodly parson
complained to an elderly lady of his congre-
CATION that her daughter appeared to be
Wholly taken up with triAes or worldly inery,
instead of fixing her mind on things above.
"You are certainly mistaken. sir" said she.
81 know that the girl appears to an observer
to be taken up with worldly things, but you
cannot Judge correctly of the direction her
mind really takes, as she is little cross
eyed"

WHY He LEFT CHURcH.-The gentleman
who left church so suddenly, last Sunday,
was not sick, as his friends feared at the time;
That forenoon, just before service, he visited
his barn to see that his horse had been prop
erly cared for, and finding new.laid egg, he
nut it in bis coatskirt pocket. The recollec.
ton that the egg was still in pocket prompted
him to steal away from the congregation to
make Investigations, and we regret to say that
his worst fears were realized.

HANDLE THE CoLTs.-The horse submits
to mans authority for the reason that he is
made to believe man is the stronger. He is
kind and tractable from being treated kind
ly and handled lovingly. What horse is
once taught, no matter how young, it never
forgets. When the colt is running by itG
mothers side, it can best be taught valuable
lessons. Mans strength can then easier over
come it. The more you handle a colt
the more it will know and the kinder it will
be. No one should ever permit the colt to
have the mastery in strength; consequently,
small boys should not handle them until the
colt is entirely subdued in this respect. Nor
should colt be ever hitched or led by hal.
ter which he can break. IF he once learns
he can break his halter, it will take years to
cure him of the fault, if it is ever cured
But by kind handling and playing with
them-which any one can enjoy who has a
heart within him-they will ever after be
easily caught, kind in service and more trust
ing in danger or difficulty. When the colt
comes about you never abuse him, but with
kindness educate familiarity with him
Thus he will be always gentle, and easily
adapted to any work. There will be nc
trouble breaking such colt. He will natu
rally take to it. By being treated vcously
the colt can also be learned mean tricks and
vicious habits-loUa Register.
