PREPARE EYE THE WAY.

You cannot well build house on top
of brush-heap, nor can you lay a good
foundation upon rolling stones. rotten
logs or loose lumber. And it is just as
difficult to have real revival of Gods
work on top of the world, the flesh and
the devil. even though they are all bap-
tized and in good and regular standing
in the church. If you would build a
house, you must lay foundation and
if you would have it safe when the storm
comes, you must dig deep and build it
on rock. Many people are waiting for
God to come and bless them in their
churches and in their families, and they
expect he will do it on top of all their
pride, covetousness, worldliness, strife
and sin. They expect him to overlook
unsettled quarrels that have been smoul-
dering for years; wrongs that date back
to the time the very foundation of the
church was laid +; hypocrisies that have
never been confessed and put away sins
that are hidden, but unrepented of; Ba-
bylonish garments and wedges of gold,
which ungodly Achans have secreted in
their tents ; and pride and sectarianism,
which have been fostered, nursed and
cherished, until God cannot bless or re-
vive such church without dishonoring
his own truth, approving wrong, and
justifying them in sin and uDgodliness.
If you want revival of Gods work, 90
to the bottom of things. Break up the
fallow-ground. Let the gospel pillow &c
deep into the soil, no matter what il
turns up. Repent of sin. Humble your
selves under the mighty hand of God
Confess your faults. Settle your OLD
quarrels. Lay good foundation. Purge
out the old leaven. Stone the Achans
Hew the Agags in pieces before thu
Lord. Make straight paths for you
feet. Take away the stumbling blocks
Prepare ye the way of the Lord max
his paths straight. Do this, and 20,
shall not wait long for his coming, hi
blessing and his salvation. Chris

ABOUT PARROTS.

Deacon Green was ia liking about par
rots the other day. He said he once
knew parrot that was not as polite as
"Pippity," the one mentioned in a
story called Flower Mountain" The
parrot that he knew would swear when
ever he opened his BILL 1t had been
taught by the sailors on board the ship
in which it had come from South Amer
lea. When the deacon knew it, it be-
longed to the widow of very strict
minister. 1t had been brought to her
by her nephew. midshipman, as a
Christmas present 1t was lucky for
him. just then, that the old lady was
stone deaf. She was very cross with the
neighbors when they told her what wicked
words the bird used 1t was a great
pet, and she would not believe anything
bad about it but at last it swore at a
visitor who was bishop. and, soon after,
| it was no more.
Since the deacon told that story
have had paragram about another par
rot; one that lived in Edinburg, Scot
land, five years ago. This one could
laugh, weep, sing songs, make noise
like "smacking the lips and talk.
His talking was not merely by rote; he
would speak at the right times, and say
what was just right to be said then and
there. He spoke the words plainly,
bowed, nodded, shook his head, winked
rolled from side to side, or made othel
motions suited to the sense of what ht
was saying. His voice was full anc
clear, and he could pitch it high or low
and make it seem joyful or sad. Many
curious tales are told of him, but tn,
most remarkable thing about him i
that he actually lived and really did tn
things named.
That's what the paragram says

HON ESTY REV ARDED.

George and Harry worked in the same
shop but as the working season was al
most over, and there would be little
work to do during the summer months,
their employer informed them, as they
settled up on Saturday evening, that he
could only give one Of them work here
after. He was very sorry, he said but
it was the best he could do. He told
them both to come back on Monday
morning, and that he would then decide
on the one he wished to remain. So the
young men returned to their boarding.
house good deal cast down; for work
was scarce, neither knew where he could
obtain a situation if he were the one to
leave.
That evening, as they counted over
their weeks wages. Harry said to his
friend:
"Mr. Wilson has paid me a quarter of
dollar too much"
$50 he has me, )" said George. as he
looked at his.
"How could he have made such mis-
take?" said Harry.
"Ohl he was very busy when six
o'clock came; and, handling SO much
money, he was careless when he came to
pay our triie," said George, as he stuff
ed his into his pocket-book.
"Well," said Harry, al am going to
stop as | 60 to the post-ofiice, and hand
it to him."
"You are wonderful particular about
a quarter" said George. What does
he care for that trife? Why, he would
not come to the door for it if he knew
what you wanted and am sure you
worked hard enough to earn it,
But Harry called, and handed his EN-.
ployer the money, who thanked him fol
returning it, and went into the house
Mr.. Wilson had paid each of them 9
quarter more than their wages on purpose
to test their honesty.
So when Monday morning came, hi
seemed to have no difficulty in determ
lining which one he would keep. H,
chose Harry, and intrusted the shop t.
his care for several months when he wa
away on business. and was so we'll pleas
ed with his management, that. whel
work commenced in the fall, he gave hin
the position of superintendent. Fiv
years afterwards, Harry was Mr.. Wilson
partner George worked in the sam
shop again, but as common laborer.
There is nothing like good characte
when you want employment. Som
young men can always get work, n
matter how dull the times are; Will
others can find nothing to do when hanc
are scarce, simply because they can M

HOT-BEDS.

1t is time to make these conveniences
for starting the earliest vegetables. The
first preparatory step is to collect heap
of long stable manure. This should be
forked over every two or three days to
check too violent fermentation. At the
end of about ten days make the bed. If
the situation is dry and well-drained, an
excavation may be made eighteen inches
deep. Otherwise make it on the surface
of the ground. The pile should be made
eighteen inches longer and wider than
the frame which is to 60 upon it. Lay
up the manure evenly, shaking all hard
Jumps and making all firm as it proceeds,
with the back of the fork. When it is a
foot and half high, place the frame,
without the sash. Spread on two inches
of light loan. New fermentation will
soon set in, and the bed should be tested
every day by thrusting the bulb of a
thermometer into it. AS soon as it has
subsidized to about 80 degrees, spread on
four or five inches of light loan. SOW the
seed and put on the sashes. During
stormy weather or cold nights the glass
must be covered with mating or slough
hay to exclude frost and converse heat
and the plants must have plenty of all
during mild or sunny weather. Water
slightly warmed should also be given al
needed. This your judgment and ezpe
rience must decide. Novices, howeve
as rule, give too much water and to-
little ventilation.-Bufalo Commercial

For the MONITOR.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.

The scriptures teach that Jesus Christ
will really and visibly appear again.
That as he was seen by his disciples to
90 into heaven, so he will come in like
manner. That he will appear in the
clouds of heaven with power and great
glory, with the holy angels, the voice of
the archangel, and with great sound
of trumpet. This is his GLORIOUS ap-
pearing." 1t is neither fgurative nor
spiritual but real and visible Jesus
Christ taught his disciples this truth be-
fore he assembled into heaven; and after
in the most impressive manner, enforced
it upon them as truth of great impor-
lance to themselves personally, and also
to be enforced upon the minds of others.
This doctrine was deeply imprinted in
the minds and feelings of the apostles
and they often alluded to it, both in
their preaching and writings, and some
times described the scenes of that day
in vivid and glowing language. The
coming of Christ is spoken of in the BIZ
BILE in connection with the end of the
world, the dissolution of the elements,
the day of judgment, the immortal glory
of the righteous, and the punishment of
the wicked. 1t is an event certain, with
the time of the event uncertain, and is
accompanied with warnings to be al
ways ready, and to Glove His appearing"
AS the Lords supper carries us back to
the procuring cause of our salvation, so
the second appearing of Christ carries
us forward to the day, when this saliva
ton will be consummated. His first
coming prepared the way for us to enter
the straight gate and to walk the narrow
way his second coming will introduce
his followers into the fullness of glory
for which they have been prepared
Our prayers and exertions should al
have reference to that great and glorious
event. J..

WASTE AND WANT.

Either man must be content with pow
erty all his life. or else deny himself
some luxuries and save to lay the base
of independence in the future. But if
man de6es the future, and spends all he
earns whether his earnings be one or
ten dollars day. let him look for lean
and want at some future time-for it
will surely come, no matter what he
thinks. To save is absolutely the only
way to get a solid fortune; there is no
other certain mode. Those who shut
their eyes and ears to these certain facts
will be forever poor. and in their obsti-
nate rejection of truth mayhap will die
in rags and filth Let them so die and.
thank themselves. But no They take
a sort of recompense in cursing fortune.
Great waste of breath. They might as
we'll curse the mountains or the eternal
hills. For we can tell them fortune
does not give away good and substantial
goods. She sells it to the highest bid
der, to the hardest and wisest worker for
the boon. Men never make so fatal a
mistake as when they think themselves
creatures of fate; tbs the sheerest folly
in the world. Every man may make or
mar himself, whichever he may choose.
Fortune for those who by diligence, hon.
esty, frugality, place themselves in a
position to grasp hold of fortune when
it appears in view. The best evidence
Of frugality is the five dollars or more
standing in your name at the savings
bank. The best evidence of honesty
consists in diligence and frugality.

THE CRISIS.

What think you would be the result
if the earth should stop spinning around
the sun? We're you ever near large
and intricate machine when one of its
wheels became clogged or broken-near
enough to hear the grating, jarring clash,
the sudden. deafening crash ? Astrono-
mers assure US that precisely similar eff
fects. only on an inconceivably grander
scale, would be produced if our earth
one of the wheels of the universe-ma-
chine-should suddenly cease its revolu-
tions. In other words, there would be
a general clash and crash of satellites,
planets, and systems What We term
financial crisises are due to similar caus-
es. Que of the wheels of the finance
machine becomes clogged, perhaps shat

which follows is communicated to every
part of the financial mechanism of the

There is that other mechanism, the most

members fails to perform its office, the
whole system is thrown into disorder.
Members before considered unassailable,
break down under the unnatural pressure.
The shock comes, and utter prostration
is the result. Reparation can only be
effected by the restoration of the impair
ed parts and the REIMBURSEMENT of the

one part of the machine more liable to
disorder than any other,-the liver,-the

The human skeleton consists of more
than two hundred distinct bones.
There are more than five hundred sep

number of nerves and blood vessels.
The skin contains more than two
million openings, which are the outlets
of an equal number of sweat-glands.
Each respiratory duct is one-fourth Of
an inch In length, which will make the
aggregate length of the whole about nine
miles.
Every adult man has fourteen hundred
square feet of lungs; or. rather, the
mucous membrane lining the air-cells of
his lungs, if spread upon smooth. plane
surface. would cover an extent of four
teen hundred square feet.
About two thirds Of pint of air is
inhaled and exhaled at each breath in
ordinary respiration.
The full capacity of the lungs is
three hundred and twenty cubic inches.
