methods of praise. The solos of Mr..
Sankey are often impressive; who will
cayil at this method of conveying truth
or awakening emotion The choruses
of the great choir are often still NOR
Impressive no person who watches q
congregation listening to spirited and
triumphant sacred song from large
body Of trained singers viii doubt the
value of such a service as a means of
religious impression. And yet for the
proper rendering of these choruses it is
better that portions of them be sung by
single voice, or by two or three or
four voices. A phrase or stanza may
often be well delivered in this manner
frightening the effect of the music, and
fixing attention still mere strongly
upon the words of the song. Then,
when the great congregation, moved
by the singing to which it has listened,
and the other services in which it has
engaged, is called to "stand up and bless
the Lord' in some simple and familiar
hymn, its response is burst of praise in
which the angels might we'll wish to join.
Whatever, therefore Mr. MoOdy's theo-
ries of church music may be, his meet
ings show us the value of solo singing,
of quartette singing, of chorus singing
and of congregational singing, and make
plain to us that we can afford to dispense
with neither of these methods of praise
in our churches.

Faces and STRINGS.

Did you ever see a gutta-percha face
and did you ever amuse yourselves with
pinching it one way and pulling it an
other, and seeing what different express
sions it viii put on? When you cease
pulling and pinching it, it returns to the
same face it was before.
Now your little faces are softer than
gutta-percha, and they are full of little
strings called muse es; and the little
muscles pull them one way. and pull
them another, lust according to your
feelings. Sometimes you feel grieved or
sad, and the little muscles pull your
face into q very doleful depression, and
we know by looking at you just how you
feel. Sometimes you feel pleased or
merry, and the little muscles pull your
faces into smiles and dimples.
But often there are wicked passions at
work at the strings. Anger pulls, and
oh Whist a disagreeable look the face
puts on in a minute. Pride pulls the
strings, or vanity, or envy, or discomfort,
or deceit, and each brings its own ex-
preston over the face.
The worst OF it is, that when these
passions pull very often, the face does
not return to what it was before, but
the muscles harden and retain that ugly
expression. By indulging in evil pas
sions, people may work their faces up
into such awful faces, that sometimes
when YOU meet g man in the street you
can tell, Just by looking at his face what
his character Is.

American farmers are quite as shame.

the worshlessness of certain so-called
fertilizers which be has examined, He
obtained samples of the fertilizers sold
bv one firm at $50 ton, and found by
anslysis that they were worth less than
81 per ton. II was afterwards discovered
that the firm was merely engaged in bar
reling up harbor sand and mud and
selling il to farmers at $50 per ton,
Fortunately the firm was forced to close
up its swindling business, and the last
information from its chief member was
that he was in Jail in Massachusetts for
some other viIlainy. 1t it had not been
for the experiment station. says an
American exchange, the swindlers might
have made a ierlune from one years sale
of mud 81 $50 per ton.

"rlRe Church OF the EBrst-Bora.''
(PARAPHRAsE FROM PSALM 81
On the holy mountains founded,
Zion stands adorned with grace;
God her walls and towers hath bounded;
Shines on her, dis smiling face.
Well Jehovah loves His Zion,
More than all on earth beside;
His. is love to her undy Ing.
Twas for her that Jesus died.
Glorious things Of thee, oft spoken,
Fill the bright prophetic page;
He. whose pledge has ne'er been broken,
Stands thy guard through every age.
Babel Tyre each naughty nation,
Onca thy f. es now, mongst thy sons.
Soon will share thy great salvation,
When the day Of glory daWHs.
But o Zion (wondrous story,
when thy splendoYs eye shall see
Earth shall boast her chiefest glory,
That her sons were born in thee.
Aye, it will never be forgotten,
When the Lord made up His count,
That His chosen we're begOtten,
Each one in thy holy mount.
Well Jehovah viii remember,
When De notes the sons Of men,
That in thee, each mystic member,
OF His house was born again.
Then let earth's high princes, Zion,
Joyfully thy praises sound;
For in thee the neveI-dying,
All our springs Of joy abound.

SOUTHERN HOME AND Farm.
The pleasant Ara or Grs ring.

The Pleasant ART or 6rs fling.
There is not one among all the pro-
cesses of agriculture that is capable of
yielding 80 rich a return for a trife of
trouble as the grating of a wild tree
with fruitful and enjoyable variety.
One minute will suffice for the grating
of the top of young Seeding, and this
minutes work will effect change of its
whole nature and of all its produce,
throughout the ten, twenty, or Fifty
years of It's future growth and frCitage.
Everybody should learn to graft. It is
one of the simple, useful, practical, and
everywhere practicable things that should
be part of common school instruction.
The writer once knew some young
women who could pare and set a graft
or bud neatly, and with entire success,
and who took pride and pleasure in
Practicing the art. Grating will prob
ably be attended with more than
usual success this spring, because of the
mildness OF the winter, leaving the wood
unhurt for those who did not exercise,
at an earlier date, forethought enough
to cut and store the scions. Young
practitioners may find some hints useful,
and here are few, in addition 10 the
excellent ones given last month by Mr..
Smedley:
Choose sound, firm, ripe shoots, grown
in full light, for the sciops, and let them
be entirely dormant when cut and set
With the cherry and plum it is indis-
pensable to graft be ore the buds swell
IN the least; apple and pear will do much
later, but all make more growth
from the graft, and fewer wild shoots
below and around it, if set quite early.
The risk with early grating is from
dry March winds paTchiDg the gra {,
while 1t as yet receives little mois-
ture from the scarcely started ascend
ing flow of watery sap. This is pre-
vented by using sound scions, by pro-
tecting them with film of wax or a
fillet OF paper, and by using thicker wax
and tying it 10 place so that it can
not become in the least detached, TO ad-
NIT dessicating air. A temperature of
80 to 60 dogs. and dry weather are most
favorable for the operation. The wax
should Ce made of such a temper as to
work nicely at that temperature not so
soft as to be very sticky, nor so hard as
not to stick or not to manipulate well.
It should hsndle like rather tough putty
in the temperature of ordinary spring
water. There must be no free grease OF
oil 70 stop or enter the pores of the bark.
Whip or splice grating is the most
convenient and the safest. It is practiced
on small shoots The sizs Of large or small
lead pencil. The wax is then apple d
from a roll Of strips of halfworn muslin
soaked in it while melted by moderate
heat. 4 piece is taken long enough for
each graft a strip one-quarter to one
halt inch wide and two to three inches
long, wrapped on spirally will completely
cover and secure the Joined parts. 4
good small knife, the roll of waxed cloth
and the scions are all that need be car
ried. But a few strings, hone or fine
milestone, and register for entering
the names. etc. should be part of the
eutfit.--TN. Y. Tribune.

Enect of Hard water Upon Animal..

Eject of Hard Water Upon Animals.
Horses have an instructive love for
soft water, and refuse hard water if they
can possibly get the former. Hard water
produces a rough and staring coat on
horses, and renders them liable to gripes.
Pigeons also refuse hard water if they
can obtain access to soft. Cleghorn
states that hard water Ia Minerca causes
diseases to the system Of certain animals,
especially of sheep. So much are race
horses influenced by the quality of the
water, that it is not unfrequent to carry
a supply of soft water in the locality
in which the race is to take place, lest
there being only hard water, the horses
should lose condition. Mr.. Youatt, in
his book called "The Horse" remarking
on the desirableness of soft water for the
horse, says Instinct or experience
has made the horse himself conscious of
this, for he will never drink hard water
il he has access to soft; he will leave
the most transparent water of the we'll
for a river, although the water may be
turbid, and even for the muddiest pool. :"
And again in another place he says
"Hard water drawn fresh from the well
win assuFedly make the coat of horse
unaccustomed to it stare, and will not
unfrequently grippe or further injure
him"
