and decision. We do not even know his
name, but if a mans name is written in
heaven, it matters little if it be unre-
corded on earth. One even of lowest
degree, may be an effective witness for
Christ, and his testimony be approved
and openly rewarded by Him. To those
who confess Christ before men He does
not now indeed visibly manifest Himself.
But He says " If man love Me, he will
keep my words, and My Father viii love
him, and We will come unto him, and

Caring Hama.

Most of the hams prepared for market
are sailed too much, and are hard and
favorless. An exueTienced curer gives
these directions: When the hams are
nicely trimmed, rub each one with toler-
ably fine salt, aud pack in tight. Make
a sweet pickle by using one and half
gallons OF New Orleans molasses or its
equivalent in sugar, and six ounces of
powdered saltpetre to forty gallons of
water, with salt enough added to make
it float potatoe when it is made. Let it
stand until the scum rises and is SKINNED
off, They should remain in the pickle
from FIVE to six weeks, according to the
temperature of ths place. If exposed to
free EiDg weather, they will cure much
slower than in cellar. When the hams
are finally taken cut rinse them in clear
water aad hang up to dry ready for the
smoke house. Hickory wood is the best
for smoking, but any clean smoke will

The Man who Was Born Blind.

The narrative of the giving of sight to
the man who was born blind, in the
9th chapter of Johns gospel, is
remarkable for the fullness of its details.
In this respect it resembles the story OF
the cure of Naaman. In each case
particulars are given of the antecedents
of the man, his social position, the con-
ditiOns of the cure, the events which
followed, and his conduct under the
altered circumstances. There is a SINH
larity also between the characters of
the two men; both were brave, and
both were grateful for mercy received.
May not the man in John TX. be consid-
cred the first who suffered for his faith
in Christ? Simon Peter had confessed
Christ Matt. xxi. 16), but then it was
in the presence of disciples. Nathaniel
had confessed Christ John i 49), but
that was also amongst disciples. Nieo-
demus had spoken on behalf of Christ
John vii. 51) but not boldly. But here
was man in the first OVERLOOKING of
grateful emotion arguing for Christ, prov
ing II linn to be of God, aud quite oblivi-
GUS to the consequences to himself.
It has been said that grace does not
alter a mans natural character, but it
ennobles and opens for it a new sphere OF
action. The man who was brave before
he believed in Christ will be courageous
afterward. Those who are blind are gen
| orally remarkable for the DEVELOPMENT
of their reasoning powers, and the first
! thing this man does after receiving
sight is to reason on behalf of hi,
benefactor. He was zealousiy affectsI
! in q good thing, and his zeal for the
honor of Christ caused him to b;
cast out of the synagogue.
1t has been observed with truth that
"God is not only as good as His word
but great deal better" and so we fnC
it here. When Jesus heard that the MAJ
/ had been cast out He didDot wait till tn,
day of final retribution to reward him
but went and found him then, accordins
to His own word, % He that loveth Nj
shall be loved of Ny Father, and / vii
love him, and will manifest Myself Il
him" The man had never seen Jesul
| before, but when asked. " DOst thou be
Iieve on the Son of God % was likely Il
think of the prophet for whose honor he
had been contending, and who had giver
him sight. He answered, and said
Who is He, Lord, that might believe
on Him? And Jesus said unto him
Thou hast both seen Him, and it is Hs
that talketh with thee. And ne said
Lord, I believe, and he worshiped Him.
It is remarkable that the Lord Jesus
should reveal Himself to this man, bui
then he had suffered for His sake, anC
Z" Them that honor Me, saith the LORD,
will honor" Such a man, and one K
/ whom the Lord had manifested Himself
/ would be disciple of no common energy

Waste or uanures.

An able agricultural writer makes the
following remarks:
The greatest waste of manure from the
farm comes from neglect to save the
liquid weddings of the farm stock. Far
too many farmers allow all this, or nearly
all, to be total loss during the time the
stock is housed at the barn. Wolf gives
the following comparisons in 1 900 parts
of liquids and solid:

Qlsterna.

The Charleston; S. O., correspondent
of the Journal of Chemistry acknowledges
the necessity of extreme care in keeping
impurities out of the cistern. He
assumes that the cistern is completely
covered, and that the imam hole for
getting into it for cleaning or repairs is
Kept carefully closed. He gives the
following description of the manner in
which cisterns are built in Charleston,
and it is well worth printing for the
benefit of cur readers:
In Charleston we are almost entirely
dependent upon our cisterns for drink
ing purposes, more than three .foIrths Of
the population being supplied with water
in thst way. Great care is therefore
taken in the construction of our reser-
voirs. They are built of brick laid in
cement Ono lime), and plastered inside
and outside with the same. Within
there is double partition, from floor to
ceiling, of brick laid in cement, and the
space within this double wall, say six
inches in width, is filled with water-tresh
gravel. This wall is built in one of the
corners of the cistern 10 a semi-circle,
and the pipe for the pump inserted in
the inclo ed space. The water is filtered
through this wall, and is as pure as
crystal A little char, oal is sometimes
thrown into the cisteIn. You will zee
that by allowing the roof and cutters to
be thorourhly washed by the rain before
letting atsr into the cistern, you get
rid of All i'm urities; and if the cistern
is sufficiently large only fall and winter
rains should be taken in. The impuri-
ties that float in the air during spring
and summer are thus prevented from
getting in. This is not always done,
although it is desirable.
A few years since my house took fire
and to save it my cistern was emptied
/ then had it carefully cleansed, but
could not drink the water for three
months after. This has been so often
proved to be the case that you must
pardon me if 1 adhere to my experience
in spite of chemistry, although 1t Is moi
NV intention TO undervalue science.

Thousands of cotton gins are needlessIy

simple cause. That cause is permitting

1s48. AT that time the DEMooRAT was
printed onR hand press, and itwas the
only press in the office foryears. Within
twelve years or so, printing machines
and steam have been introduced into the
printing establishments of Canton, 80
that we can boast of having printing ia
cilities equal to the best, Instead of the
one press we have four, all driven
by steam power and instead of one man
and a boy or two employed in the off oe,
there are now eighteen in all, and only
two or three Of them boys.
In conclusion let us say, that, although
men and circumstances may change,
principles do not change. The essential
elements Of good government are the
same now as thirty years ago, a hundred
years ago, or a thousand or more years
ago. JUSTICE must ever be the rule in
the administration of law, and In the cor
rect management of public affairs. All
citizens must stand equal before the law
and before the government in its admin
istration; otherwise, oppression is the
rule and tyranny triumphant. Integrity,
then, in the administration of public af-
fairs is our only safety, Non-voters, mi
nors, females and aliens are entitled to
the same protection before the law that
voters are. And no citizen should have
preference above another in government
tai legislation; where such is the case,
the favor is monopolized by the wealthy,
who have, by that very wealth or Capi-
tai, already an advantage,
This is the old Democratic creed, and
hence the old Democracy were opposed
to all special government privileges,
in the shape of bank charters,
monopoly protective tariffs or anything
else. Thirty years ago this was the doc
trine, and it is good doctrine yet. "Do
not evil that good may come" is as
sound to-day as it was when proclaimed
over eighteen hundred years ago.
Truth, then, never grows old; is al
ways acceptable to the honest mind,
and is the power in good cause.
