WHERE TO GET The POWER.

Now, how are we to do it 2? When
ever man undertakes anything, if he
is wise man he says. "Where is the
power to come from ?" There is fac
tory, there are all the wheels and the
machinery but they are of no use un-
less you can get power. We are all
taught that In US lies no power for saw
ing the souls of men. We are all
anxious to serve our Lord but of course
we can do nothing for him unless we
have power. Where is the power then ?
Certainly it is not in ourselves. the
power lies in the Holy Ghost. What
mercy this is, because he is Divine, and
consequently, whatever the enterprise
may be, he is equal to it. Now, the
conversion of the world and the turning
of the myriads to Christ becomes no
longer an idle term if the Holy Ghost
himself is to help us IN it. There lies
our power but how are we to get it !?
l believe, in the first place. that we
must, if we wish to see greater things
than we have done, have more real
prayer. OIL my brethen, how are
your prayer-meetings? 1t is stale
subject, perhaps you will say: but |
do know some places where the prayer
meetings are positively shocking. and
still is that the current speech, 81 shall
not 60 out this evening, it is only a
prayer-meeting." 1t is in the meeting
of the church for earnest, fervent and
believing prayer, that the power of God
is communicated to the church to make
all its agencies strong, and if the pray
meeting is neglected, depend upon i
/ you have shorn away the locks of YOU
J strength, and when the Philistines arr

? meet the foe. The longer 1 live tn
{ more sure am of it that God mus

/ rule, that the power is in proportion

The Fat Mems Convention.

We can see some pleasure, il no reas-
on, in the converting of baby show, but
we confess we could never see the slight
est cause. reasonable or otherwise, for a
fat mems convention, unless it be the
fact that misery loves company. For
fifty or hundred men. whose several
weights range from two hundred to three
hundred pounds. to hold convention
simply because of SO much surplus avolr-
dupois, is absurd to say the least. 1t
becomes doubly so when we reflect that
obesity is disease. What would we
think of as many persons emaciated by
consumption holding a convention to
compare their relative weights. There
is but one ground upon which we would
advocate another fat mems convention,
and that is that they will meet to discuss
the merits Of Allan's Anti Fat, the only
known remedy for obesity. 1t is safe
and reliable. Sold by druggists.

LUMP BUTTER.

Passing through Quincy market. we
find that the highest priced fancy
lots of gilt-edge butter, such as whole
sale at IS to 20 cents per pound, and
retail to aristocratic nobobs at rs to 85
cents, are put up in neat little Jumps
either round or square. of weight vary
ing from one-quarter to full pound,
and stamped with some pretty design,
or with the producers monogram. But
kind reader, out of the thousand of
packages of butter received in this city
weekly, probably not over 1000 pounds
Wholesale at upwards of 80 cents per
pound, nor over 25O pounds per week
sell at 70 cents per pound. Probably
if these fortunate butter-makers were
to double their limited productions they
would break the market and reduce the
fancy price by at least one-half- Human
nature is prone to copy after success,
dairymen not excepted. Because a few
dairymen, who marketed their butter
fresh, almost the same day they made
| it, formed it into attractive Jumps or
prints, other took the hint, and presum-
ing that the style of the package had
much to do with the market price, also
adopted lump butter. The contagion
spread, and from far and wide consign-
ments of lump butter appeared, until
to-day Boston market is completely over
stocked with lump butter.
Except for those who have orders in
advance for lump butter, or who have
facilities for sending their dairy pro-
ducts to market at least once week,
we would earnestly advise the packing
in tubs, holding from % and 80 to 30
pounds, instead of making it into Jumps
Fine butter, packed in well--cleaned
and moderate sized tubs, will now com.
mand higher price than similar but.
ter put up in Jumps. The market fol
lump butter is very limited, since II
will not keep as we'll as tub butter
Small lots of choice butter in humps
have proved sufficiently attractive t.
some buyers to induce their purchase
Some lots of Vermont lump butter hav'
brought 33 cents per pound, though to
day this same butter in tubs would sci
as high, but most of the fine lum]
butter has been selling at % to % cent
and it must be very nice to comman'
even that. But the great consumption
of our city markets is supplied through
tub butter. Thousand of pounds 0
lump butter stored here to-day, hav
deprecated in quality so as to reduc
the value one half, while if the sam
butter had been packed properly in tub
it would have been to-day as sweet a
nut and salable at good price. Th
market for lump butter is too uncertai
and of too limited nature to Undue
distant producers, especially small da
ries. to make any change from the ord
y nary practice of packing in tubs

A WONDERFUL PRAYER.

PSALM 81: 5-"Into Thy hand commit my spirit
Thou hast redeemed me- o Lord God of truth"
These words were in part repeated
by our Lord in his expiring agony,
and by Stephen in the supreme moment
of his martyrdom.
"Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit" is the prayer of Christ:
."Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" was
the prayer of the proto-martyr.
The prayer in one or another of its
forms is associated with some of the
most solemn and impressive events of
Christian biography and history. 1t
has been the dying ejaculation of the
most noble saints and martyrs of the
church. 1t was uttered among the last
words of Polycarp, of Basil, of Bernard,
of Huss, of Luther and Melancthon.
1t was the dying petition of Columbus
and Silvio Pellico.
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" pray
ed Knex.
"In manus tuas, Domino, commendo
spiritum meum," prayed Ridley.
"Entre ties mains, Seigneur, je re-
commende mon anne, prayed the Prin-
cess of Cont.
80 Lord, what does man come to ?"
said John of Barneverd, on his way to
execution. 20 God, my Heavenly
Father, receive my spirit" he prayed at
the block.
'.Lord Jesus, receive my spirit pray
ed Bishop Hooper.
Cranmer, putting his right hand that
had signed the recantation into the
fame. and saying, 'This unworthy
right hand" uttered the same prayer
as did Latimer, Patrick Hamilton and
Rowland Taylor in the flames.
30 Lord, into thy hands I commit
my spirit, for thou hast redeemed my
soul, o Lord God of TRUTH" prayed tn,
young Scottish martyr, Hugh McKail.
Margaret Wilson, bound to the stalk
at the low-water mark in the Bay o
Weyton, saw the advancing tide. l
rose slowly until it reached her throa
when she prayed, lord Jesus, receiv
my spirit"
Lord Harant, Protestant martyr o
Bohemia, prayed, kneeling by the block
"lnto thy hands, o Lord, l commen'
my spirit: in thee have l always trust
ed receive me, my blessed Redeemed"
Lord Otto, another Bohemian marty
prayed, almighty God, to thee
commend my spirit; receive it for tn
sake of Christ, and admit it to the glor
:, of thy presence.
"Miserere mel, Deus" said Henri
,, Gray, Duke of Suffolk, holding up hi
hands and looking up to heaven. H
then said, "Into thy hands, o Lord,
commend my spirit" and made the sig
to the executioner.
Lord, into thy hands l common
= my spirit" prayed Lady Jane Gray
the block.
:. Perpaps no prayer of the Bible hi
!, such dark and tragic and at the san
. time triumphant associations as thi
. 1t has been the last testimony of Il
2 most confident faith, the last cry {
penitent lips, the last petition of begga
&c and kings. and in all lands and Chri
tian times, the martyrs exclamation

Poultry should be entirely cold. but
not frozen, before packing. If packed
with the animal heat in it will be al
most sure to spoil. Therefore, if you
pack for the market yourself, or sell to
those who intend to pack at once to
send to market, be sure the animal heat
is out of the birds before you offer them
for sale.

SOCIETY SHAMs.-lt is astonishing
now many rich people condescend to
wear limitations of costly things: and
this piece of bad taste is not by any
means confined to the nouveaux riches,
who might be expected to know no bet
ter. Cotton velvet with a silk face does
duty for the rich Lyons velvet, which
once alone was worn by gentlewomen !;
imitation lace, mock jewelry, and sham
furs. are worn unblushingly. If. as is
often stated, ladies dress not to please
the opposite sex, but to excite the envy
of their own, the wearing of shame must
fail in its effect.
Another woman may be very cove
tous of her rivals diamonds, sables and
and old point: but she conld only feel
contemptuous towards the paste, the
died rabbit skins, and machine made
lace that do duty for the good old treas.
ures. Gentlemen, too, are not readily
taken in by limitation the sportsman
recognizes the mock fur or feather, anG
most men in society understand gooc
lace, and the difference between past,
and diamonds. There is no create
snobbery than that shown in the preten
sion of modern dress, and no falsenes
more easily seen through than that o
sham fnery. A true gentlewoman will
only wear what is genuine and good Q
it kind, no matter how modest and IN
pretending that kind may be.-Londo

To keep fruit, the lowest temperature
short of freezing. and unchanged, is
required. In mild weather, open the
fruit cellar at night, and close in very
early in the morning. Fruit gives off
in ripening. large amount of carbonic
acid. which helps retards the ripening !;
but in fruit cellars under dwellings,,
this should be carried off by ventila-
tor, as it is detrimental to the health of
the family.
