deafening shouts and clapping of hands
The resolutions adopted call upon

Married Life.

Julius Moser gives the following counsel
from a wife and mother II try to make
myself and all around me agreeable. It
will not do to leave man to himself till
he comes to YOU, to take no pains to at
tract him, or to appear before him with a
long face. 1t IS not so difficult as you
think, dear child, to behave to a husband
so that he shall remain forever in some
measure lover. I am an old woman,
but you can still do what you like; a word
from you at the right time will not fail of
its effect; what need have you to play the
suffering virtue? The tear of loving
girl, said an old book, is like dew drop to
rose but that on the cheek of the wife
is drop OF poison to a husband. Try to
appear cheerful and contented, and your
husband will be so; and when you have
made him happy you will become so-not
in appearance, but in reality.
The skill required is not so great. Moth.
ing fatters man so much as the happi-
ness of his wife; he is always proud of
himself as the source of it. AS soon as
you are cheerful you will be lively and
alert, and every moment will afford YOU an
opportunity to let fall an agreeable word.
Your education, which gives you an i'm
mense advantage, will greatly assist you,
and your sensibility will become the no
blest gift that nature has bestowed on you,
when it shows itself IN affectionate assidu-
ity, and stamps on every action soft,
kind, and tender character, instead of
wasting itself in secret repinings." This
is most excellent advice, and worthy of
being treasured up.

A wAY-s1DE MEMORY.
[BY ELLA ALICE BROWN

Under the silver fringes
OF the willow boughs that swung
A-glitter in the su nshine,
With frozen jewels strung,
With smouldering fire of opals,
OF pearls and chrysoprase,
And the twinkling diamond drops that set
The frosty morn ablaze.
Under the swaying willows,
Where the tall green PUSHES sprang,
The wayside spring of my childhood
Bubbled and laughed and sang
Bubbled and rippled over,
As the blithe winds came and went,
And dimpled all day in the sunshine
With gurgle of glad content.
Through a chink in a messy boulder
Its living waters purled,
- With inarticulate whispers
OF the wonderful underworld;
The tall ferns nodded wisely
With every frond and feather
The brown reeds bent to listen,
With all their heads together.
Under the wintry starlight,
And under the summer noon,
Its ceaseless silvery babble
Was set to the self-same tune
The rusheS on its margin
We're the greenest that ever grew
And moss and brake, for its sweet sake,
Were golden through and through.
When tie skies were gray with tempest,
And the landscape bleak and bare,
1t seemed like joyous presence
In the midst of grief and care;
Like CHEEKY, happy nature
No cloud can overcast,
In Joy OF pain in sun OF rain,
Contented to the last

The ends to be accomplished by pasto-
raj visiting in many cases can be more ct
fectually gained by the people coming to
to the pastor than by his coming to them.
There will be something in the simple act
Of their seeking him that will do them
good. The Christian who, of his own choice
courts an interview with his pastor will
talk much more freely and honestly than
if the pastor goes after him. We have
paid hundreds of visits to unconverted
persons-known 70 be interested about
their souls, without any assurance that
our visit did good; but we can recall but
few cases in which persons came TO us as
inquirers after the way of life, who did
not find the Saviour.
We believe heartily in visiting the pastor.
It is an inspiration to him, 1t saves his
time. It affords better opportunity for
calm and prayerful interview than can
be usually had at ones house or place of
business. 1t always pays the pastor to
teach the people to come to him. They
may be slow at first; but once worked up
to it, they will see its advantages and en-
JOY it. Besides it's other desirable features
this plan will remove all excuse for COM
planning of the pastor, if he does not
visit. If his people really wish to see him
and are well, they know where and when
to find him.
Every pastor should have it understood
that he has place and time when he can
be seen by those who desire to confer with
him on spiritual questions. AS a rule, we
believe it best, in the city, for the place to
be at the house of God, as many will meet
him there that could never pluck up
courage to enter his private house. While
a pastor should always be accessible to
any who need his spiritual counsels, it is
best to name his hours for seeing visitors.
This will encourage the timid to come,
prevents disappolntments and keep off in
truders.
Let the pastor remember that, in train
ing his flock to look to him in the moment
of need, he does better deed than if he
should teach them to expect him to be per-
petually looking after them. He is wise
shepherd that can so teach his sheep that,
whenever the wolf or tempest comes, they
will run to him for shelter. 1t is rarely a
pastors duty to pay an official call to one
who can be induced to call on him. Rich

Naming Children.

The child has right to his individuali-
ty, to be himself and no other; to main
tain against the world the Divine fact
for which he stands. And before this
fact father, mother, instructor, should
stand reverently seeking rather to under
stand and interpret its significance than
to wrest it from its original purpose. 1t is
not necessarily to be inscribed with the
family name, nor written over with the
family traditions. Nature delights in sur
prises, and will not guarantee that the chill
dren of her poets shall sing, nor that every
Quaker baby shall take kindly to drab COL
or, or have an inherent longing for "a broad
brimmed hat. In the naming of child
his individuality should be recognized
He should not be invested with the cast
off cognomen of some dead ancestor or
historical celebrity, a name musty as the
grave-clothes of the original wearer-a
ghostly index finger forever pointing to
the past. Let it be something fresh; a
new name standing for new fact, the
suggestion of history yet to be written,
a prophecy to be fulfilled. The ass was
well enough clothed in his own russell, but
when he put on the skin of the lion every
attribute became contemplate. Common
place people slip easily through the world;
but when we find them heralded by great
names we resent the incongruity, and in
sist upon making them less than they are.
George Washington selling peanuts, Ju-
Illus Caesar as bootblack, and Virgil a
vender of old clothes, make but sorry fig
ures. Leave to the dead kings their pur
pie and ermine, to the poets their laurels,
and to the heroes of the earth sole possess
sion OF the names they have rendered i'm
mortal. Let the child have name that
does not mean too much at the outset, but
which he can fill with his individuality,
and make by and by to stand for exactly
the fact that he is.-1'he Cottage Hearth.

That character is power, is true in a
much higher sense than that knowledge is
power. Mind without heart, intelligence
without conduct, cleverness without good
ness, are powers in their way, but they
may be powers only for mischief. Wemay
be instructed or amused by them, but it is
sometimes as difficult to admire them as it
would be to admire the dexterity of a pick
pocket, or the Workmanship of highway
man.

With clear sky, bright sun and a
gentle breeze you can have friends in plen-

find enc that will bear the stretch and keep

MoTHERs.-Some one has said that a
young mother is the most beautiful thing
in nature. Why qualify it? Why young?
Are not all mothers beautiful? The SEN
timental outside beholder may prefer
youth in the pretty picture, but I am in
clined to think that sons and daughters
who are most intimately concerned in the
matter, love and admire their mothers most
when they are old. How suggestive of
something holy and venerable it is when
person talks of his ''dear mother" Away
with your mincing ''mammas, suggestive
only OF a fine lady, who deputies her duty
to nurse, a drawing room maternal pa
rent, who is afraid to handle her offspring
for fear of soiling her fine new gown. Give
US the homely mother, the arms of whose
love are all embracing; who is beautiful
always, whether old or young; whether
arrayed in satin or modestly attired in
calico. The dear old mothers! Heaven
bless them!

RAISING GEEsE.-When farmer has
tract of low, marshy land near his house,
where there is a running stream of water,
ne might raise geese pro6tably by confin-
ing them to this tract during the day in
summer, and yarding them at night.
When allowed to run on good grass land
their manure is so strong that it kills the
grass where dropped, and for this reason
many farmers have given up raising them.
But they are certainly profitable, as they
are subject to no disease, require no food
but grass, and are always saleable, dress
ed, at fair price, and their feathers will
pay the expenses of keeping them,

STEAMING FooD FOR LIVE STocK.-My
experience this winter is that the same
amount of fodder cut and steamed is feed
ing twice the number of stock that it does
when fed dry or raw. After having cut
and steamed, mix little bran, just
enough to make it palatable, and out of
one hundred shocks of fodder, do not
think there has been to exceed one basket
full of stalks taken from the trough that
the stock refused to eat. My method of
steaming is temporary, and not quite SO
handy as would be desirable, but I think
it far better and more economical than the
old method of carrying out loose fodder
and scattering it over the ground to be
trampled by the cattle instead of being
eaten. gum

FARM AND PRESIDE.

TAR WATER FOR INSECTS. the
last five years have not lost a cucumber
or melon vine, or cabbage plant. Get
barrel with few gallons Of gas tar in it;
pour water On the tar; always have it
ready when needed. and when the bugs APP
pear give them liberal drink of the tar
water from garden sprinkler, or other
wise, and if the rain washes it off and they
return, repeat the dose. 1t will also de-
stroy the Colorado beetle, and brighten
the old long potato bug worse than a
threshing with brush. Five years ago
this summer, both kinds appeared on my
late potatoes, and I watered with the tar
water. The next day all Colorados that
had not been well protected from the
sprinkling were dead, and the others,
though their names was legion, were all
gone and have never seen one of them
since. am aware that many will look up
on this with Indifference, because it is so
simple remedy. Such should always feel
both their own and their neighbors' bugs
as they frequently do.
