tongues at the Tower of Babel More of
earth's surface must be redeemed, more acre
age must be titled, more wealth must be ex-
tracted from earth and skies, more rivers bear
the burden of food for the nations.
Man came from the dust and his primeval
conditions was that of tiller Of the soil, and
God sends him back there for the recupera-
ton Of his strength and morals. He detach-
es multitudes Of children from the hot beds
of premature and sinful growth, from the
cities, to the pure air and better associations
of the country, and when physically and NOR
ally reinvigorated, He brings them back to the
city again, to give it real strength He also,
by this crisis scatters the dangerous elements,
disarms and elevates them, by taking away
their ability to confederate in wrong doing,
and by lifting them into the companionship of
better people. From the cities and the coal
regions now, the turbulent classes are being
driven, before the lash of inexhorable need to
the West, 70 new soil and associations to be
bettered in the change. just as the air and
heat, cold and cloud, are used to distribute
moisture above the earth, and through chan
nels on its surface, and crevices in rocks be-
low, and unseen openings, to redistribute
again when the clouds have unloaded them
selves.
So is God using these hard times for re-
distribution of His vital forces where they
will not only be reinvigorated, but readjusted
into their places in the social system, not ON.
ly to preserve and elevate their being, but
better their temporal and spiritual condition.

JOSH BiLLrxas ON LAGER.

hav finally cum to the konclusion that
lager az beverage liz not intoxicating.
hav been told so by German who sed he
had drunk 1t all mite long, just to try the ex-
pertinent, and wux obliged to go home entire
~ sober in the morning. hav seen this same
man drink eighteen glasses, and II he wuz
drunk 1t wuz in German, and nobody could
understand il.
1t is proper enuf to state that this man
kept lager beer saloon and could hav no
object in stating what wux not strictly thus.
Ibelieve him to the fullest extent of my
ability. never drank but three glasses of
lager in my life, and that made my head out
visit as tho it wuz hung on the end of string,
but wuz told that it wuz owing to my bile
being out of place and guess that it was
so, for never billed over wus then did when
got home that mite. My wife thot wuz
goin to die, and wnz afraid that shouldn't,
for it seemed az tho everything had ever
eaten in my life wuz coming to the surface !;
and believe that If my wife hadn't pulled
off my boots just as she did, they would hav
cum laundering up too.
o, how sick wuz IA years ago, and /
can taste 1t now.
never had so much experience in SO short
time.
If any man shud tell me that lager beer was
not Intoxicating shud believe him but If
he should tell me wasn't drunk that night
but that my stummick was out Of order,
shud ask him TO state over In few words
just how a man felt and acted when he was
set up.
If warn't drunk that mite, had some of
had and kept sober.
In the first place it wuz about eighty rods
from where drank the lager beer to my
house, and was jest over two hours on the
road, and a hole busted thro each one of my
pantaloon neez, and didn't hav any hat, and
tried to open the door by the bell-pull and
hiccuped awfully and saw everything in the
room trying to get round on the back side of
me- and, sitting down on a chair, l did not
wait long enough for 1t to get exactly under
me when | wuz going round, and set down
little too soon and missed the chair about
twelve inches, and couldn't get up soon
enough to take the next one that came along;
and that amt awl, my wife said l wuz drunk
az beast, and, az sed before, began to
spin up things freely.
If lager beer IL not intoxicating it used me
almighty mean, that know.
Still hardly think that lager beer IL intox-
icating, for have been told SO t; and l am
probably the only man living who ever drunk
eny when hiz liver wuz not plumb.
l don't want to say anything against a
harmless temperance beverage, but If / ever
drink any more, 1t will be with my hand tied
behind and my mouth pried open.
don't think lager beer is Intoxicating, but
if remember right, think it tasted like
glass of soap-suds that pickle had been put
tew soak In.

TOO MUCH DECORATION.

Ladies who live in the country ara particu-
larry liable to "overdo " their decoration
They get many hint of beautiful objects
that can be made with little trouble, from
magazines and papers, and they must needs
try their skill in constructing the pretty
knickknacks. Sometimes beautiful orna-
ment Is thus made but many times the lack
of the needfu material, so easily procured in
the city, but SO difficult to find in the country,
will cause poor imitation of what was de-
signed to be "thing of beauty" We might
cite many examples of this enthusiastic pur.
suit of various kinds of ncy-work--worsted-
work, for instance. We shudder to think of
the time spent, wasted. eyes ruined,
over ugly pieces of neutrality-suspicious.
pillows, slippers, etc. Just now the mania is
for painting upon pottery. With able instruc-
ton this enthusiasm might be turned into
good channels. But what shall be said of
that invention of some mediocre mind-the
FASTING upon gnger-jars of cheap and tawdry
pictures? When we see our shelves and ia
bles covered with these vases, match safes,
cigar-holders, ETC., and know that, from re-
gard to the feelings Of the young artists,
these must be placed in conspicuous posi-
ton and favorable light, we are in danger of
wishing that all pottery could be buried so
deep in the ground that even the indicating
able Schliemann could no unearth it. A par
lor ought not to be Uttered with such trifles.
Better few good and not costly pictures,
such as engravings, or Braun's antetypes of
celebrated paintings, in inexpensive frames !;
ornaments sparingly used, but beautiful in
themselves and from association a very few
thrifty plants, not too delicate, but those that
will give plenty Of flowers and will not re-
quire all the sunshine /; best of all, good
books in plain cases. Leave space for the
new volume and the magazine upon the ia
bic, and for the bright evening lamp space
upon the floor for the children's toys, and for
themselves to frolic and let not even the
honest dog or the gentle cat be banished lest
they break or mar some frail piece of fancy
work. So shall we be kept from the worry
and care of too many treasures, and find time
for reading, for study, for play with the little
ones, and perhaps. for practicing at times the
almost lost art of plain sewing Home ana

On DONG UP MEMS LINEN" Kitty
York Post: "Some time ago my husband
used to complain that his linen collars did
not set neatly in front. There was always a
fullnes which in case of standing collars, was
particularly trying to man who felt a good
deal of pride In the dressing of his neck, as it
a gap for the display of either the colarband
of the shirt or half an inch of bare skim
While talking with a practical shirtmaker one
day, he mentioned his annoyance, and inquir-
ed If there was any means of relieving it,
Yes," answered the man, "the fault lies
with your laundress. While doing up your
collars, she stretches them the wrong way
Damp linen is very Pliable and good pull
will alter fourteen inch collar into Gfteen
inch collar in the twinkling of an eye. She
ought to stretch them all crosswiss and not
lengthwise. Then, in Strengthening out your
shirt bosoms, she makes another mistake of
the same sort. They, also, ought to be pull
led crosswise instead of iengthwise, particu-
larry IN the neighborhood of the neck. A
lengthwise pull draws the neckband up some
where under your chin, where it was never
meant to go, and of course that spoils the set
of your collar. With the front of your neck
band an inch too high, and your collar an
inch too long, you have most undesirable
combination" The speaker was right AS
soon as my husband ordered the necessary
changes to be made in the methods of our
laundry, a wonderful difference manifested
itself in the appearance of the most important
part of his clad anatomy, the neck. Let me
commend the shirtmaker's hint to other dis
tressed men,"

POETRY.
THE MYsric SPOKESMAN.


o fragile bark upon an unknown sea-
Whose solemn surges find no echoing strand
Who Is the steersman that so patiently
Does at the magic wheel forever stands
When angry pillows sleep, and skies are fair.
And sails fly idly in the ftful wind,
Anxious to learn my hearings what they are,
turn and shout into the dark behind.
Then listen. But no echo comes again;
Disconsolate turn round, and now
Attempt with straining eyes to the main,
But see no further thaE my vessels prov.
sometimes wonder how frail a thing
Was ever launched upon so vast sea:
But what ayas my drealning wondering
what answer has it ever brought to me7
Yet in the soul hear meek whisperings,
And sounds from fairer climes float on the air;
While Faith, luxurious, pumes her dropping wings
And gives herself to loving trust and prayer.
When dismal, chilling fogs of doubt shut down.
brooding like night through many weary miles,
Then love, that many waters cannot drown,
Looks up-through riffs of blue the sunshine smiles
If storms arise, and hoarse wild seas run high
And fears that all Is lost come with the swell,
Let me but hear the whispered +" II is l."
And there is calm more sweet than can tell.
When passions whirlwind bowls across the deep
And signs of danger threaten more and more
Straightway call the Master. Does he sleep?
All, mol Who sails with him comes safe to shore.
Therefore trust my faithful unseen Guide
And meekly suppliant lift the outstretched hand
Begging my sanity Watcher to abide,
And bring my frail bark safe to father-lanS.

A FISH SToRY.-A gentleman in Scotland
sends the following: Among other fishes
which came to our bats, my daughters
caught upon their long line skate weighing
one hundred and fifty-two pounds. Inside
the skate was a Goldfish weighing fourteen
pounds and inside the Goldfish place weigh
ing about one pound. AS there was hook
inside the plaice, no doubt the fiat fish took
the bait first. and was afterward swallowed
by the cod, who in his turn was swallowed
by the skate.
