PERSONAL RELIGION.

There is a sense in which the religion OF
our neighbors is of great advantage to US,
and there is sense in which it is of no i'm
portance to US at all. In mere temporal
point of view, it is an advantage to live in a
community where the inhabitants are relig-
ious. Men and women who fear God and
keep his commandments, make the best neigh.
bors in the world. In all business transac-
tions, men who have respect for the laws OF
God, are more to be relied on than those who
are irreligious. Some exceptions to this state
ment may be occasionally met with, but gen.
orally it will be found that those who fear not
God, regard not man. The irreligious man
may be truthful and honest, but in nine cases
out of ten, he is truthful and honest not from
principle, but from policy.
Such being the case, the religion of one
man is of great advantage to every other man
in the community. In another point of view,
the religion of our neighbors is no advantage
to us. The view which we have just taken of
religion, is the lowest we could take of it.
We might say it is a mercenary view. All
its advantages terminate in time. Religion,
strictly speaking, has reference to man as an
immortal being. 1t is personal or individ-
ual possession. While others, in time, may
derive kind of reflective advantage from
our religion, we, ourselves alone, can expe-
rience the sum of its joys. Only the indi.
vidual who communes with God, enjoys the
blessing of that communion. This is true
even in time When this life ends, then each
individual must appear before God in person.
It will be of no advantage to the individual
that all his relations, companions and neigh
bors, were pious, if he was not. Each indi-
vidual member of the human family will be
compelled to meet death and appear before
the judgment bar of God alone. This being
the case, religion, unless it is made personal
matter, will be Of no advantage to US at the
moment when we most need it.

AN UNAPPRECIATED sERENADE.

The Orpheus Glee Club, of Philadelphia
concluded to serenade Miss Peterson upon q
certain evening. One or two of the members
were little tender about Miss Peterson, and
they thought that maybe they might make a
favorable impression by giving her a little
midnight music. Unfortunately, upon the
very day of the serenade, old Peterson moYed
his family about four blocks down the street,
and his house was taken by an old German
butcher named Frick. The Glee club hadn't
heard the news, and late in the evening they
went around. Ranging themselves upon the
pavement they tuned up and began. They
sang couple of songs without obtaining any
response from the fair Peterson, although one
of the infatuated members was encouraged
by the conviction that he saw something white
at one of the upper windows. Finally, while
they were dashing bravely through "Come
where my love lies dreaming" the sash in the
second story went up with crash and head
protruded. When the song ended Peter
Lamb had barely time to say, "There she is,
when the voice of Frick Aoated down to
them:
"Say, poys, you have one larch, big STUN
mic axe, hey7 Whad vor den you howl IN
dot manner, hey? I COON down and gif you
medicine; I gif you baragoric to make dot
stummic axe 90 away. shtop him quigger'n

"You don't understand" said Mr.. Boggs.
"We were singing-a serenade, you know"
"Ah, ha! You COON to serenate me, hey?
You sing der music for me, heyf Dot is
whad you call singing, dond it? Veil, poys,
l dell you Something's. I hafone liddle small

"shut up, you old fool, and 60 to bed. We
didn't come here to serenade you"
"No2 Ish dot so? You come to serenade
der dog, den. call him up, so ash he can
hear you Maybe Won of your legs bite him
in des mouth. He lique dot. You serenade
him and gif him some mead all ad once"
"Where's Miss Peterson? you Dutch idiot. !"
"Miss Bederson haf mooved avaw. Some

ceart ride oud. You 60 town und sing ter
Miss Bederson und de ole man rush oud and

it to-day"
"Never you mind, now; where has she
moved? If you don't tell us we will stay
here and sing all night"
"Ill see aboud dod. You waid dill COON
down minnid."
About three minutes later German gen.
tleman named Frick emerged from the back
of the house carrying pistol and accompa-
MED by dog the size of Bengal tiger. AS
soon as the club saw the dog they scattered,
and as the last man turned to run, Mr.. Frick
called after him:
"Poys, wont you sthay und sing all Dide to
dis schmsll, fiddle dog? Ah, hah you 60
away dond it2 Dunder and bitten if you
could sing der way you run, you't be goot

To REMOVE GREASE SpoTs.-In removing
grease spots from clothing with benzole or
turpentine, the usual way is to wet the cloth
with the detergent and then rub it with the
sponge or the like. This only spreads the
grease and does not remove it, The proper
method is to place a soft blotting paper be-
meath and on top of the grease spot, after the
latter has been thoroughly saturated with
benzole; then press we'll. The fat is thus
dissolved and absorbed by the paper, and en-
tirely removed from the clothing.

"MAN PRoPosEs-GoD D1sPosEs. 81
will 60 to church only three times this yea"
said a young man of my pastoral charge, as
the year 1874 dawned upon the world. He
went once, and then in the earl days of Sep.
tember he went a second time, in company
with young lady friend, who was attending
upon series of services conducted in the
church Of which she was communcant. AS
they parted that night, she insisted that he
should come to church again on the next
night, and give heed to the things which were
to be spoken. He replied, 81 must take care ;
for said 1 would 60 to church only three
times this year, and as I have now gone twice,
only one more attendance during the year is
left for me." He went to his home and re-
tired, in his usual health and spirits at mid
night he awoke, sick. Fifteen or twenty days
of fearful suffering ensued, and then he went
to church for the third time but he was car
ried there in his coffin.
Young man, young woman, "Boast not thy
self of o.morrow, for thou knowest not what
a day may bring FORTH" Trife not with the
time which Gods long suffering is sparing
unto you.-Faithful Word.

CHRISTIAN GRowTH.-The standard Of
the Scriptures has the advantage of a double
aspect, the ideal and the practical: Its ideal
is thus expressed "Be ye therefore perfect
even as your Father which Is IN heaven Is
perfect" liable to comprehend with all saints
what is the breadth, and length, and depth,
and height; and to know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fulluess of God" Such
perfection and such fullness are limitless, and
require an eternity for their attainment
They do, nevertheless, assure US that there are
no bounds set to Christian growth in this life;
and that for the utmost desire and loftiest as
piration of the believing soul, full provision
has been made in the abundance of sanctify-
ing grace They tell us that, however high
we have risen, there are heights above us,
and however low we have gone, there are still
in the "Godhead's deepest sea" depths which
we have never ezplored.-southsr" Christian

Group IN CH1LDREN.-This disease caus-
es death by sufocation. The entrance of the
wind.pipe is very small little cold causes
the lining of the part called the mucous mem
brane to SWELL This diminishes the sub.mu-
cous infiltraton is, this mucous men,
brane, being infamed, throws out an extra
amount of fluid, like the eye, when it is in
famed. This fluid hardens and forms at
length kind of layer, which is some times
of an almost leathery toughness, increasing in
thickness until the ori6ce is so nearly closed
that the breath is obstructed Nauseating
medicines dilute this formation and thus aid
to bring it away. A favorite prescription for
a quarter of a century with eminent physi.
clans was to mix teaspoonful of powdered
alum with little sugar to make it palatable.
The immediate effect is to nauseate, giving
great relief in minute sometimes. Flannels
dipped in ice cold water, changed every two
minutes, and squeezed little so as not to
dribble and wet the clothing, is an excellent
remedy, because it cools the parts and dimln-
shes the amount of blood sent there, and as
the phlegm is made out of the blood, less
amount is made and relief is certain. But
flannel dipped in water as hot as can be borne
and applied to the part, changed every two
minutes, carries off the heat by evaporation,
and irritating the surface, brings the blood
away from the interior and thus diminishes
the phlegm.

Hot WATER FOR WoUNDs.-Hot water
in the treatment of bruises and wounds is
strongly advocated by certain medical author
tiles. In proof of its efficacy the New York
Medical Journal cites the following case: The
hand of workman in a machine shop was
crushed under the fall of a trip hammer
weighing 700 pounds. The hammer was ar
rested when within half inch of its bed, but
the palm of the unfortunate hand receiving
the blow was reduced to pulp. The mata-
carpal bones were extensively comminuted,
yet, in the hope of saving the member, it was
kept immersed in hot water for two or three
weeks, and then taken out and dressed. In
three months the patient was dismissed from
the hospital, and in nine months was able to
move his fingers and demonstrate that he still
possessed useful hand The temperature of
the water employed in such cases should be
about 103 degrees Fahrenheit.

CLovER.-No matter how mismanaged,
clover is a benefit, and whatever else he may
do, the farmer who grows clover is making
his farm better. What, then, might not the
case be if the same care we're taken of the
clover field as of the other crops2 1t does
not need cultivating; the long, deep-reaching
roots mellow and pulverize the soil as nothing
else can. If the clover grows thriftily, the
top acts as a mulch, seeding the ground and
keeping it moist. A crop of two tons or more
of clover, whether plowed under or cut for
hay, can hardly fail to leave the soil better
than it was before. 1t should be the farmers
aim to grow the largest possible crop of clo-
yer. A slight dressing of gypsum-one hun
dred pounds per acre in early Spring-often
produces wonderful results. But if farmer
has little well.rotted manure, the scrapings
of barn.yards, Fall is the time to apply it.
Clover is often injured by freezing and thaw.

CARE OF HARNEss.-The practice of wash
ing harness with warm water and soap is very
damaging unless coat of oil is applied i'm
mediately after. No harness is ever so soied
that damp sponge will not remove the dirt
yet even when the sponge is applied, it is i'm
portant to apply slight coat Of oil by the
use of second sponge. All varnishes, and
all blacking that contains varnish, should be
avoided. When harness loses its lustre and
turns brown it should be given new coat of
grain black; first wash the grain surface
thoroughly with potash water to kill the
grease, and after the application of the grain
black, apply oil and tallow to the surface.
This will fasten the color and make the leath-
er flexible Neatsfoot oil or castor oil, only
should be used on harness, and no more
should be applied to the leather than it will
readily absorb. A superabundance works
out to the surface in hot weather, catching
dirt and in a short time looking very mean.
