Going Through College.

Theodore Parker never received a
diploma, though he pursued the full
college course at Harvard. Nor did
he ever recite single line to profes-
sor. His father was poor, and could
not afford to pay the college expenses;
but Theodore was bound to have a
liberal education. One evening he
said

astonished parent.

the days work was done, and mornings

know that; Imeant to stay at home
and keep up with my class
And he did more than keep up with
| the class; part of the time he worked
for his father at home, and part of the
time he taught school, paying his father
eleven dollars month to hire another
hand in his place. He passed the ex-
animation successfully, but was not
given a degree because he had been a
nonresident, and had paid no fees.
Subsequently a degree was offered him,
on condition of paying the customary
fees; but. money was scarce, though
energy and scholarship were ample,
and he was obliged to decline it.
What a reproach is his example to
those who, have everything to help
them in a college course, waste time
and advantages!~ YoNsks Companion.

Surprises OF California.

THE California coast is full of mar
wells. lEvery year brings something
new to the surface. Things extraor-
binary in size, character and mystery
are turning up every day. When Cali
fornia was first settled, gold was the
great thing. The soil appeared to be a
heap of dust. 1t took long season to
find out how rich this country was in
everything that pertains to agricultural
life. A single nights rain will turn
these dust hills into verdant pasture.
The grasses are annual. They must be
re-sown every year, unless the seed hid
den in the earth is sufficient for new
crop. Even in the absence of rain, cat
tie turned out on what seems to be a
plain or a hillside, dry as ashes, pick
up good living on what is known as
the dry crop. The valleys are hot-beds
of vegetation, This is true of the San
Jose Valley, the Napa Valley and the
Sonoma Valley. Fields are laid out by
the mile. The wheat fields are small
when they embrace only 100 acres.
They are large when they are thirty
miles long. The taste here is for huge
farms. The land is worked by ma
chincry. The world don't show such
inventions to aid in agriculture as arc
found here. 1t is common to see eight
horses, four abreast, drawing gang Of
plows. Without machinery these i'm
mense fields could not he cultivated.
One of the machines takes off the heads
of wheat and leaves the stubble to be
burned or plowcd in. Before the ma
chine has done with the crop the grain
is threshed and bagged, ready for the
market, before it leaves the field. The
sheep and cattle are kept in immense
quantities, and 1000 head of each is a
small allowance Boston Journal

There can be no happy marriages or
happy homes if love, pure and sancti-

young people know what love is! A
little romance, a good deal of pride or
ambition, hovers about them, and they
call it loUe. ''Of all the sad things in
this world the saddest is the leaf that
tells what love meant to he, and the
turning of the leaf to tell what love has
been. One all blossoms, the other
ashes; one all smiles and gladncss, the
other all tears and sadness. Nothing
is so beautiful as the temple that love

Talking Photographs.

SOME time ago the Scientific Amcri-
can suggested that by the use of stereo-
scopic photographs and the phonograph
an audience might be apparently adj
dressed by person who was not pres
ent among them. Mr.. Wordsworth
Donisthorpe, in communication to
Nature, says:
Ingenious as this suggested combina-
ton is, believe 1 am in a position to
cap it. BY combining the photograph
with the kinesigraph will undertake
not only to produce talking picture Of
Mr.. Gladstone which, with motionlcss
lips and unchanged expression, shall
positively recitc his latest anti Turkish
speech in his own voice and tone. Not
only this, but the life-size photograph
itself shall move and gesticulate pre-
cisely as he did when making the
speech, the words and gestures CORE
spending as in real life. The mode in
which effect this is described in the
accompanying provisional specifics
ton. which may be briefly summed up
thus: Instantaneous photographs of
bodies or groups of bodies in motion
are taken at equal short intervals-say
quarter or half seconds-the exposure
Of the plate occupying not more than
an eighth of second. After fixing, the
prints from these plates are taken one
below another on a long strip or ribbon
of paper. The strip is wound from one
cylinder to another so as to cause the
several photographs to pass before the
eye successfully ut the same intervals
of time as those at which they were
taken. Each picture as it passes the
eye is instantaneously lighted up by an
electric spark. Thus the picture is
made to appear stationary while the
people or things in it appear to move
as in nature. 1 need not enter more
into detail beyond saying that if the in
tervals between the presentation of the
successive pictures are found to be too
short, the gaps can be filed up by du-
plicates or duplicates of each succeed
ing print. THIS will not perceptibly
alter the general effect. l think it will
be admitted that by this means dra,pa

TINS then shall be the song we sing.
Go work upOn a farm"

Do not wait until your hair is gray,
and then 60 because you are compelled
to 60 somewhere where subsistence
may be had which will hold body and
soul together. Begin in the commence
ment, not at the end, of life, when
youth, strength and manhood are vast
ed away; then you are no credit to the
profession, although the brotherhood is
SO kind that many are admitted at that
late day.
Farm life may be compared to per-
son dressed in sober-colored garments,
they may be of the richest and most
substantial material, and worn with ex-
quisite taste, yet superficial observer
would fail to see any beauty or
comeliness about such dress, while q
gay attire would wake his admiration,
even if it were of an undesirable quality
and would not at any time bear exam
ination. Such is the town life in COM
parison, the former being the better
dress. One must first become con-
WINGED that such is the case before it
will be adopted.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

FREMONT CAKE.-TwO cups of sugar,
one cup of shortening, one-half lard and
One-half butter; three eggs, one tea
spoonful of saleratus dissolved in one
cup OF sour milk, three cups rather full
OF slfted flour, one cup of chopped raj
sins, and nutmeg.
FRUIT CAKE.-One and one-half pints
of milk, one cup of cream, two cups OF
sugar, One-half cup of butter, one-hali
pint of molasses, one and one-half cur
OF hop yeast; add flour to make thick
batter, and let rise all night. In the
morning add one cup of butter, six cups
OF sugar, tive eggs, one tablespoonful
OF soda, and seven pounds of raisins
spice to taste; stir to thick batter; put
into tins and let rise again; bake as
you would bread.
VEAL CAKE.-Cut slices of cold roas,
veal and boiled ham, very thin-there
should be as many again slices of veal
as of ham; cut three or four hard-boiled
eggs into slices; chop a few sprigs OF
parsley fine; batter mold, and put in
alternate layers of veal, ham, eggs and
parslcy--seasoning each layer with
pepper and salt; fill up with good stock,
and bake in brisk oven about one
half hour; when cold, turn out and gar
nish with parsley. This is nice for tea.
To DYE SCARLET.-One and one-halt
ounces of muriate of tin; one ounce OF
cOchineal; one ounce of cream-of-tar-
tar. To one pound of cloth or yarn al
low three gallons of water; when
blOOd-warm, add one ounce of cream
Of-tartar; increase the heat little and
add one teaspoonful of the pulverized
cOchineal and three-fourths of an
ounce of muriate of tin; wet the goods
in warm water; put into the dye and
boil one hour, turning often; take out
and rinse in cold water; then add the
remaining cochineal and tin liquid to
three gallons of warm water; put in
the goods and proceed as before.
NOTWITHSTANDING the general hard
times and failure of the crops, there are
farmers in the West who are making
money. Said a wealthy farmer to the
writer, few days ago: If our people
don't 60 to work and do something, the
German farmers are going to own this
country lie is a man who works,
and has made his money by working,
and knows the truth of the assertion.
Our own German neighbors are either
out of debt or rapidly paying what they
owe. They practice industry, frugality
and economy. They sell the best they
have, eat what they can't sell, and feed
the rest to the pigs. They pay their
notes when they are due. Their chill
dren are not found loafing in the vii
lagos and around depots, but are at
work or at school. Let us take les
son from them, and hard times will be-
gin to "let up."-Cor. Chicago Trib-

4 WINTER SERMON.

81 Thy roof in vain the winter tempest lashes:
While housclees wrctches round thy mansion

Upon whose unsheltcred head the torrent
splashes.
Thy board is loaded with the richest meats.
Der which thine eyes in stated languor wander
Many might live on what thy mastiff eats
Or feast on fragments which thy servants
squander.
Thy limbs are mufficd from the piercing blast,
When from thy fircsidc corner thou dost sally
Many have scarce rag about them cast,
With which the frosty brcezcs toy and daily.
Thou hast soft smiles to greet the kiss Of love,
When thy light step rcsounds within the pur-

Some have no friends save Him who dwells
ah.vc.
No sweet communion with fellow mortal.
Thou slccrcst soundlv ON thy costly bed.
Lullcd by the power of luxuries unnumbered;
Some pillow on stone an aching head.
Never again to wake when they have slum-

And G"i will hear them for thy welfare pray

AS the conclusion of inward reasoning,

of Christian life must first be seen or
felt before it can be embraced.
Are the inducements of farm or
country life SO vague that they can
neither be seen nor felt? Are they a
substance or shadow? Let us see. In
the first place, all will admit that so
long as we have bodies we must live
upon the earth, consequently must he
clothed and fed, and where are the
facilities better or surer for obtaining
pure and nutritious food than upon the
farm, and with the surplus an exchange
can be made for comfortable clothing.
If sickness or misfortune overtake the
farmer his farm is bank which can be
induced to supply his physical wants at
least. Inactivity for u limited time
does not hinder the hay or grain grow
ing or prevent the beef or mutton fat
tening, whereas in case of the lawyer,
mechanic or tradesman, as soon as he
stops his income ceases.
In regard to the favor the Tax Col
lcctor shows him one may call it an
evil or good according to the misan-
thropic or philanthropic view of the
case. He certainly is not compelled to
pay as much for public convcniences
and benefactions as his peer in the adj
joining city. But let us hope he is lib
eral minded enough to donate with free
will to the extent of his ability. Let
us consider the next advantage-his
promise is fair for having a durable
and comfortable home through life,
and as he is generally found on the as
ccnding scale, this is also much in his
favor, for he has a solid foundation on
which to build, the fear of falling thus
being removed.
Farm employment is conducive to in
dustry, industry with frugality leads to
wealth, and wealth ought to be a
source of comfort and good to the pos
SCISSOR, and through him to the world.
If it has not this effect, then it is
only a stumbling wherever it may be
found. Experience, too, teaches the
farmer noble lessons, bearing wisdom
with its fruit; wisdom should bring
contentment, and does not contcntmcnt
bring happiness, the good of life?
There is a quietness about the coun-
try life that brings out the calmest and
best part of our being, while in town
life the friction produced by constant
rubbing against so many natures emits
sparks which oftentimes result in fires
neither pleasing nor profitable. Some
verses taken from Frazcr's Magazine,
entitled "The Honest Farmer"
would be glad to copy here, but will
only take the privilege of quoting a few
