At 1t Again

While listening TO the annual reports OF the
sticers of the Methodist Sabbath School last
Wednesday evening. our thoughts wandered
back to more than five years ago when the
Sabbath School was held i n the school house.
That wa. union Sabbath School with only
half hundred scholars. Now the town
boasts eight Sabbath School. with over a
thousand scholars Wichita Eagle.
Considering that On last March the entire
population of sche oil age in the city OF Wich-
ita-that 10 from 'bosum'' to twenty-onc
years inclusive, amounted TO TAG only, we
can't see how you are going to scrape up
thousand pupils to fill up your Sabbath
Schoo. Mr.. Beecher's doctrine OF no hell is
the only thing that will save you.-W Walnut
Valley Times.
Ny Christian friend, from March, 1877, to
January /, 1878, is n slight difference OF eight
or nine months, and we will give you to I'M
derstand that the population Of the city is in
creasing by immigration and ethsrrise.
Furthermore, there exists law in this city
prohibiting children under seven years at
| tending school, and in one OF our schools
there are one hundred and fifteen Sunday
School scholars in one class alone, and not
one of them Of school age. Aud more than
all that, we gave these figures just as thel
were given to us by the secretaries Of the re-
spectiye schools. We are glad for the sake
OF the T;mes that Canon Farrar has offered
| soue consolation on that same question.

Of toilet goods put up, saying that she was

and pay for them very soon. Among othe,
things, she ordered an ounce of morphine
to be put up with the rest of the goods, Blu,

A SENSIBLE DOG.

"Sixty years ago, when l was n teacher
in Kilmalcum parish" says John Fraser,
~ was using whiskey bitters for my stom.
ach's sake. One day l dipped a piece OF
cake in it and gave it to the dog. He
grudgingly ate it, curling up his lip to avoid
the taste. Erelong he became tipsy he
howled most piteously, and unnaturally
looked up in my face as if for help. He
began to stagger and fall like a drunken
man. The appearance of his face and
eyes was extraordinary. He lay on the
floor and howled until the effects Of the
drink wore off. This was supreme folly
it was wicked. The dog never forgot the
trick. Whenever afterwards I went to the
press for the bottle he hastened to the out.
side Of the house. One day, the door be.
ing shut, he sprang, at one bolt, through O
pane of glass to get outside. So much for
the wisdom of the dog-in6nitely surpass-
ing foolish drinking men"

WORDS OF WISDOM.

One is never conscientious during action
only the looker-on has q conscience.
Habit is cable. We weave a thread of
it every day, and at last we cannot break
it.
A mans own good breeding is the best
security against other peoples i'll manners.
Small service is true service while 1t
lasts. OF friends, however humble, scorn
not one.
The sickness of the heart is most easily
got rid of by complaining and soothing con-
fidence.
The heart is like q musical instrument OF
many strings, all the cords Of which re-
quire putting in harmony.
II one strives to treat others as he would
be treated by them, he will not fail to come
near the perfect life.
A beautiful smile is to the female coun-
tenance what the sunbeam is to the land
scape it embellishes an inferior face. and
redeems an ugly one.
Care is the lot of life, and he that aspires
to greatness or high positions in the hope
OF getting rid of it, is like one who throws
himself into a furnace to avoid the SILVER
ing of an ague.

Home and Farm i

The value of this work on the farm
cannot be over-estimated. Experiments
have been made by practical men that
demonstrate i'll figures that the returns
from the land in increased Weld of
crops will generally compensate for ex-
pense In two years, often in one crop
alone. AT the Ohio Agricultural So
ciety Convention several prominent
gentlemen gave in their experience that
settles beyond doubt the Importance of
the work. One made the statement
that he could tell at the distance of half
mile where the drains were laid by
the appearance of the growing crop,
which was always in advance of other
parts OF the field. Another had tried
Its effects on an orchard with most
gratifying results. The tendency to
decay i'll the roots of the trees was over
come. Glover, which will frequently
"kill ont on high or ridge ground,
would thrive better when lnnder-drains
were employed. A gentleman from an
other portion of the state mentioned
the fact that portions of his farm were
subject to overflow large part of the
year, and wele practically useless. By
the laying down of drains he had re-
deemed the wet portions until they were
the most valuable portions of his farm.
Many testimonials of this character
were given. For the main drains tile
varying in size from four to six inches
was best, while the lateral branches
would not require more than two or
three inch pipes, The large drains
were expensive, but paid better in the
main. as they We're thus large enough
to do the work. Care should be en-
1ployed in placing them, both in select.
ing the line, and also in giving them
regular grade and descent. Ihree or
four inches fall in a hundred feet will
give good flow, and when laid down
with care will not often occasion trouble
by filing with sediment These low
spots with damp. cold soil can be re-
deemed and made valuable by the tena-
ployment Of drains and will not only |
add to the value OF the farm, but i'm
prove its appearance.
