YOU ARE WATCHED.

In re6tting the old post-ofice building
in New York, it is stated that the car
penters discovered that the upper floors
were double, and were arranged so that
detectives could watch the operations of
those in the different rooms, who suppos-
ed themselves to be alone. The whole
building was furnished with secret pas
sages, sliding panels, hidden trap doors,
and mysterious chambers. of whose ex-
istence the post-oficials had no knowl-
edge, with the exception of the post
master and assistants. When the work.
men had removed the flooring it was
ascertained that the concealed space was
from four to four and one-half feet deep,
affording ample room for men to move
about. Passages led entirely round the
building. At very short intervals were
found small circular holes in which were
inserted lenses. Through these view
of the room below was obtained. Back
of and above these lenses were reHectors,
which brought before the eye of the OBJ
server the utmost recesses of the post
office. If a detective saw any stealing
or improper action committed by clerk
or person not employed in the office,
the speaking tube by his side conveyed
warning at once to the attic room, and
the guilty person was met at the door,
or tapped on the shoulder in the interior
of the Office by another detective. The
apertures through which the detectives
overlooked the rooms are in most cases
so very small as hardly to be visible
from the apartments below. Some of
them, however, look boldly down from
the easement, but as the planks in which
they are seen were obtained from the old
timber, the holes would readily be taken
for knot-holes.
But the post-ofice employees are not
the only persons who are watched when
they do not suspect it. The world is
watching US in our daily life, our looks,
our acts, our tempers and our words
Little children watch us, and learn les
soDs of fidelity or of waywardness from
our course. Angels watch US, as they

CLovER.-Clover is called, and prop.
erly SO, the sheetanchor of American
husbandry. 1t is capable of doing more
to bring impoverished lands to high
state of cultivation with less expense
than any other agency. And just IN
proportion as the farmer cultivates this
plan will he be relieved from the neces-
sity of purchasing commercial fertilizers
to enrich his land. There is no system
of cultivation to enable the farmer to
keep the fertility of his land without re-
sorting to such agencies. yet the use of
clover will do for you what the miracles
did for Moses. 1t will do more it will
cancel notes, pay mortgagef, extinguish
obligations, and bring abundance where
there is want.

DON'T ALLOW THE cows TO
SHRINK.

The milk yielded by cow represents
the only basis of profit to her owner.
When the milk ceases she becomes bill
of expense. The dairyman then should
study how to keep full flow of milk
through the whole season. He must re-
member that if the milk is allowed to
shrink in quantity, from poor pasturage,
it cannot be again recovered when the
feed becomes good. If the dairyman has
green food-such as green oats. peas, or
corn-let him feed these; but, if he has
not such green food, he should then re-
sort to grain to make up full ration.
Four to eight quarts of bran and mid
dlings to each cow per day, or four quarts
of oats or corn-meal, will keep the flow
of milk while the grass is short. The
extra food will be paid for each day by
the milk it produces, besides keeping up
the quantity of milk ready to be contin-
ued when the grass grows again from
fall rains. What we wish to impress
upon the minds of all dairymen is, that
under all circumstances the only chance
of profit in dairy must be from liberal
feeding, to produce uniform and album
dant flow of milk and when dairyman
makes up his mind that he cannot afford
to feed literally he had better sell his
COWS at once and get out of losing bus
mess. We know a man with twenty
cows, who watches the condition of his
pasture and the thrift and yield of his
cows constantly, and adds extra feed in
barn at once on any appearance of falling
off in milk. And the consequence is
that his annual yield of milk is fifty per
cent more than his neighbors while the
cost of the extra food is not one-third
what he receives from the extra yield Of
the season. Do not be afraid to trust
your COWS with few quarts of grain pei
day. They will pay for it every night

TEN IMPORTANCE AND INTEM-
PERANCE.

The New York Palladium we'll says
"We believe in prayer, but we do not
believe in praying God to romove the
curse of the liquor traffic, and voting to
perpetuate it. We believe in legal sua-
sion but we do not believe in giving a
man the legalized right to sell poison,
and then prosecuting him for just what
you have declared by law he may do.
We believe in moral suasion, but we
cannot believe in the principle of taking
men from the fire with one hand, and
other preparing the flames into which
they again will fall. We believe it is
the duty of every minister of the gospel
to use his influence, by precept' and ex-
ample, to eradicate the use or sale of
liquors, but we do not believe it is con-
sistent with temperance and Christiani-
ty for him to preach temperance and
then confess that he drinks wine every
day for dinner. We believe in good,
staunch, earnest temperance work, but
we do not believe in a man talking,
preaching, and praying temperance un'
til election time, and then conscientious.

ORCHARD GRAss.-We see one or two
correspondents of our agricultural ex-
changes object to orchard grass as max
ing poor hay. The reason is they cut it
too late. When cut in its first bloom it
is every way as good as timothy. AS a
pasture grass our COWS prefer it to every
thing. and pick it all cut clean before
eating anything else. We moved piece

but four or five inches growth in week
is very common. 1t is the most valuable

CARDS quality, rapid growth. and indif-
ference to drouth. We think we do our
readers great service in urging this grass
upon their attention.-Vt. Watchnaan.

SEED TIME AND HARVEST.

A man does not become great crimi-
nal at once he first undergoes a long and
gradual process of degradation. Had
these steps been arrested, had society
condemned them, had the voice of con-
science been encouraged instead of dead
ened, never could he have done the deed
which has at length plunged him into
public ignominy. Lack of integrity in
little things, commences with the very
children, When they hear injustice
condemned in large things and palliated
in small ones when their own childish
depredations are treated with levility, or
passed over with indifference when de-
ceitful practices are tolerated, aud SIM
ply troublesome practices are punished,
it is not strange that they learn to meas
ure the guilt of dishonesty only by the
material loss or annoyance entailed.
So the young man, just commencing life
in the workshop, the store or the office,
finds that. up to certain extent. slip
perry dealing is tacitly permitted, and
gradually comes to use the limit of de-
lection as his only standard of integrity.
The manufacturer, in like manner, will
adulterate his goods just enough to in
crease his profits without lessening his
sales the tradesman will make undue
charges when he expects no investiga-
ton; the employer will deal unfaily
with those who have no redress. 1t is
not strange that such beginnings should
sometimes make such terribls endings.

THE BIBLE NEEDED.

Everybody who needs light, air, food,
clothing, education, salvation, needs the
bible. We ministers need it, that we
may light our torches by it. not as Bos-
suet said he was accustomed to do, by
reading few pages of Homer in the
original Greek, when about to prepare
one of his celebrated funeral orations,
thus "kindling his lamp by the rays of
the sun'-but rather catching our in
SEPARATION from the book which reflects
the rays of the Son of Righteousness
invoking at the same time the aid of the
Spirit that can raise in us that which is
low, illumine that which is dark, and
enable US to rise to the height of our
great argument as we urge the claims of
God and his great salvation upon our
fellowmen. Our churches need it, that
their creeds and confessions may be
kept pure by perpetual appeal to the
only infallible standard of truth. Our
children need it, am happy to see
these front seats filled with these little
ones-that they may be early taught to
walk in the ways of pleasantness and
peace. And here let me digress mo-
ment to say, that while the great ques-
ton of retaining the bible in the public
schools is under discussion, there is one
school, thank God from which it can
never be excluded, and that is the Sab
bath-school. Great as may be the cor
ruption of the times. it cheers us to know
that while six millions of children in our
country-and some say seven or eight
millions-are taught every Sabbath the
truths of Gods holy word, we need de-
spair of the future.
The young men in our colleges and
universities need the bible, that in it
they may find the consummation of the
noblest learning in what Bacon calls
"the flower and queen of all science. u
Our public men need it, that they may
have legislators to frame righteous laws,
and judge faithfully to execute them,
and statesmen who will not be the syco.
plants and slaves of public opinion, but
competent to mould, control and elevate
it. Our rapidly increasing, excitable
and restless population needs the bible
with its only sound basis of morality
with its conservative power in giving
permanence to what is good, and in re
straining from what is evil. And nov
while the minds of thoughtful men ar,
. filled with grave apprehensions at tn
progress of disorganizing and DESTRUCTIVE
principles, warning against property anc

Growing thinner Every Day!!
The man who has seated cough
seems to grow thinner every day. His
complexion changes, there is quaking
jelly-like tremble in his muscles, the
mouth loses its firm expression. and the
least extraordinary exertion causes a
fiuttering about his heart. AS he ie
racked by the cough, the perspiratory
glands are opened and a clammy sweat
exudes upon his linen, which in turn ex
poses him to new colds, new coughs, new
decay of muscular tissue, until the work
of destruction is complete and man i:
carried to his untimely grave. But there
is relief for such. Wistar's Balsam O
