GENTLEMEN OF rHR ON Folks So
cIErY IL IS with sincere pleasure / greet
yon at this, our first monthly meeting,
aner so long and painful a separation-a
pleasure, however, mingled with un-
ieigncd snrr0w and sadness. When we
last met We expected, with our families,
IN a few weeks to Join Ia the festivities Of
or annual reunion, which, 1 am sure, all
of us looked forward to with bright aniie-
ipatiOns of happiness and social enjoy

the changel Instead Of joyful and happy
hours, the shadow Of death and the gloom
OF the grave spread over our devoted city
and the dread plague relentlessly claimed

jealous secretary; Charles kortrecht our
chosen orator; Charles Erich, Vincent

James q. Ward are numbered with the
dead. They win meet with US no more
earth. We all deeply mourn
their loss and truly sympathig0 with
their afflicted and griof-strirkon fam
lilies, The loss of companions and
friends indeed hlls the hearts Of the
young with sorroW and sadness; but 30
those whose whitened locks and gathered
years Indicate the shady side of life, il IS
far moro dreadful. The young soon find
IN other friends solaee and comfort but
those in advanced life rarely make new
friends, Time can never restore the broken
links that crush the heart of theaged. No
new ties can bind them as did those that
are severed; nc other friends can cheer
them as did those that are gone but,
thank God, they can look forward to a
glad and Joyous meeting beyond the dark
river. Let then, the virtues and eScellen-
cies of the departed ever be embalmed IN
our memories, and let those Of lis who, by
the mercy OF God, are still spared, cling
together with a more devoted friendship

EVEN So-There is Persian story
on this wise: When Jesus was on earth
he entered the cell of dervish or monk
of great reputation for sanctity. In the
same city dwelt youth who had given
himself up to sin, whose heart was so
black that Satan himself shrank back IN
horror" The young man, deeply peni-
tent, began to lament the sin and misery
of his past life, and presented himself
to the monk, imploring prayers and par
don. The monk Indignantly interrupt
ed him, demanding how he dared to ap-
pear in his presence, and said that for
him it was in vain to seek forgiveness !;
and to show how inexorably he consid-
cred his lot fixed for eternity, he exclaim-
ed, "May God grant me but one thing
that 1 may stand far from this man
in the judgment day." On this Jesus
spoke: alt shall be even SO: the prayer
of both is granted. This sinner has
sought mercy and grace, and has not
sought in vain. His sins are forgiven
his place shall be in Paradise at the last
day. But this monk has prayed that
he may never stand near this sinner,
and his prayer, too, is granted. Hell
shall be his place; for there this sinner
shall never come. "-Irench.

JOHN THE BAPTIST.

A new prophet had appeared, ancient
in manners and spirit, modern in speech
and purpose. No sleek scribe, or POM
pous priest, or courtier clad in soft raj
ment was he; but a son of the desert,
clad in garments of coarse camel's hair
bound around him by leather girdle.
seeking his food from the rock where
the wild bee left its honey, and the locust
came-a man full of the stern spirit of
solitude and the thoughts God speaks to
the soul that can dare to be alone. He
called himself voice, but he was not
like the still small voice the prophet
had heard in his mountain cave: he
was rather like the wind and fire that
broke in pieces the rocks, heralds as
they were of the low sweet voice that
were to come out of the silence they left.
People from the banks of Jordon crowd
ed to hear him. His fame reached Je-
rusalem, and Sadducees, Scribes, and
priests, publicans and sinners, went
forth to listen and be awed into pass
ing reverence and faith. His ministry
exercised an immense power-made,
while it lasted, Judea contrite and earn
est, Galilee penitent and wistful re-
manned, when it had long ceased, a
memory so moving as to touch the court
Ter heart of -TnsAnhns with reverence and
admiration. Each of our gospels is a
witness of his eminence. Love of him
distinguished alike Jesus and the Jews
To Jesus he was the very greatest Of
the prophets. His name was SO potent
as to subdue the arrogance, if it did not
extort the respect, of pharisees SO noble
as to rouse and retain the devotion Of
the crowd. So full was he of the in
spiration of God, that he not only dared
to be prophet IN an age of priestcraf
and Journalism, but even compelled it tx
listen to him. So possessed was he of i;
lofty humility, that he re tired before a
greater, proudly confessing that he was
and had lived to be, superseded. HI

THE TRUE CHRISTIAN AND THE
SHAM.

We judge of a sovereign by his SUBJ
jects, of husbandman by his farm, and
of father by the state of his family. It
may be, it were, indeed, unfair to apply
this rule to our faith and its founders.
Yet men have done, and will do so and
thus the cause of god and of religion
has had to suffer grievous injury at the
hands of its nominal friends. By their
GOODNESS, their worldliness, their mean
selfshness, their open sinfulless. the
little apparent difference between them
and those who make no profession at all

riority to the latter in the bloom and

Christians, like vendors of bad coinage,
have exposed genuine piety to suspicion.
Their hands have inflicted its deepest
wounds in the cause of Christ. In true
kindness of heart, sweetness of temper,
open-handed generosity, the common
charities of life. many mere men of the
world lose nothing by comparison with
such professors and how are you to
keep the world from saying. ''Ah ! your
man of religion is no better than others
nay, he is sometimes worse p With what
frightful prominence does this stand out
in the never-to- be-forgotten answer Of

A farmer whose fields and grounds
are remarkably clear of weeds, says that
he "twice year made it rule to clean
every weed from the fence-corners and
by.places so as to prevent any seeding.
1t was not such a job as one would
think; man with scythe would do
it in half a day." We make it rule
to cut the weeds in waste places and
about our dooryard, two or three times
during the season, and rake them up
and put them in the pig.sty.

HOW HORSES ARE SPOILED.

How quick horse becomes dilapida-
ted and demoralized after it comes into
the possession of some people. 1t makes
no difference how young or how nice
they are when they get them, they all
look alike in less than two years, and
always have that same discouraged, de-
stroyed appearance. l have seen men
claim to have great judgment. whom We
look upon as wise, prudent, and shrewd
in business, that did not seem to have
any idea of what treatment and care
horse required. If had boy ten
years old, that was not more capable
and reasonable about such things than
many people, l should think he was
hopeless idiot.
Many seem to think that horse can
endure everything, go without food all
day and half the night, and being off on
a journey in bad travelling, time after
time. When they get home they put
them into an old. dark. dirty pen, throw
In forkful of hay, the first they come
to, and let them be. They never rub
or clean them, and never take any pains
to protect them from cold or dampness
They overload them repeatedly, compel
them to labor under difficulties, when in
no condition to labor. How many
vonnr stylish horses have we seen all
drawn out of shape and all sagged down,
their backs six inches too low in front
of the hips and foot and half too long.
A horse needs feed regularly and often
as often as once in five hours, at least
at regular hours in the day. They can.
not bear fasting as we'll as Illuminating
animals but they should never be cram
med full of hay, especially after long
drive when they have been without all
day, nor just before hard days work
or long journey.
l have seen good many horses near

G. E. Allen, the Brattleboro seedman
and florist. recommends pot-grown straw
berry plants for setting in the fall. He
says: lobe hundred pot-grown plants
will produce more fruit the first year
than 1000 grown in the ordinary way.
They are exclusively planted by our
leading fruit growers. Not one plant
in a thousand ordinarily fails to grow,
while they can be as safely planted in
dry weather as in wet weather, planting
them where any crop of summer vegeta
bles has been grown, A good crop will
be produced the next year if planted
any time in September.

HEADING CABBAGEs IN WINTER.-A
writer in the Rural Neao Yorker says he
often sets out cabbages so late in the sea-
SON that the heads are but half-formed
when winter sets in. Just before the
ground freezes, deep turrow is plowed
on dry, sandy knoll. the cabbages are
carefully lifted with adhering soil, and
set as thickly as convenient in the nat
ural position. They are then covered
with few inches of straw, and with
the same thickness of soil, partly by
blowing against them. The heads form
during winter, and come out in spring
white and tender.
