WHAT BOYS SHOULD BE.-Be true
be genuine. No education is worth snyss
thing that does not include this. A man
had better not know how to read-he had
better never learn letter of the alpha
bet. and be true and genuine in intention
and in action, rather than being learned
in all sciences and in all languages, to
be at the same time false in heart and
counterfeit in life.
Be pure in thought, language-pure
in mind and body. An impure man,
young or old, poisoning the society where
he moves with smutty stories and impure
examples, is moral ulcer, plague
spot, leper who ought to be treated as
were the lepers of old.
Be unselfsh. To care for the feelings
and comforts of others. To be polite.
To be just IN all dealings with others.
To be generous. noble, and manly.

The time is fast approaching when
the men of muscles will be men of brains,
of wisdom and of great influence. The
mind is all the clearer, all the stronger,
because the body ismade to work. Ex-
cessive body labor, it is true, trobs the
mind of some of its power, just as Excess
sive mind labor exhausts the body.
There should be a medium course pur-
sued, and no profession is better qualified
to give health. strength and tone to both
mind and body, than the farming pro-
fession.-C olman's Rural.

COUNT THEM.-Count what? Why,
count the mercies which have been quiet
ly falling in your path through every
period of your history. Down they come
every morning and evening, angel mes
sengers from the Father of lights, to tell
of your best friend in heaven. Have
you lived these years wasting mercies,
treading them beneath your feet, and
consuming them every day, and never
yet realized whence they came? If you
have, heaven pity you You have MUIR
INJURED under your affliction; but who
has heard you rejoice over your blessings I?
Do you ask what are these mercies +?
Ask the sunbeam, the train-drop, the
star, or the queen of night. What is
life but mercy? What is the propri-
ETY. of stopping to play with a thorn
bush when you may just as well pluck
sweet flowers and eat pleasant fruits.
Happy is he who looks at the bright
side of life, of providence, of revelation
who avoids thOrns and slOughs until his
Christian growth is such that, if he
cannot improve them, he may pass them
without injury. Count mercies before
you complain of aflictions.--Presbyter

THE COMING WOMAN.


Col. I. w. Higginson has faith in wom-
en-, and does not believe they are growing
weaker mentally or physically. In an
article in the Womas's Journal he says:
With the freer outdoor life, there has
come to women a far greater share of
outdoor exercise than formerly. I can
remember when the spectacle of wom-
an swimming in summer or skating in
winter was something SO extraordinary
that group was sure to collect to observe
the strange phenomenon; whereas these
things now attract not the slightest atten-
ton. A woman wearing thick boots
was amazing; that woman should take
a pedestrian excursion was scarcely to
be thought of. Sometimes young
girls played battledore and shuttlecock
or the pretty but monotonous 'graces :
here and there family practiced arch
cry and these were all the outdoor
games, properly so called. The vast
and all-embracing popularity of croquet
has come and gone since then gone,
that is, from the cities and their suburbs,
being banished where it is really more
needed, to the rural villages and farms.
How pleasant it is, after spending a
summer day at that pretty and primitive
island Conanicut, opposite Newport, to
stroll down to the return ferry boat at
eunsuv, svv Une captain and the en-
gineer of the boat playing croquet in their
respective 'dooryards' with wife and chill
drcn, and finging down the mallet when
the boats bell, calls them on board In
more fashionable circles, however, this
game has been well replaced by lawn
tennis, which gives more exercise and
demands a more active skill. Rowing,
too, once very rare accomplishment for
women, is now so common that boats
crew of young girls attracts no remark
in any harbor. Outdoor tastes and hab-
its are long since recognized as fitting
for young women, and it is not likely
that the ground thus gained will ever
be lost.
| Our public schools in many places
now work the brain less severely and
with more variety of employment; va
cations are often longer, hours of study
less. Our most prosperous private
schools make a great point of attending
to physical health. There is little doubt
that the generation of girls now growing
up will be healthier than their immediate
predecessors; and this improvement, like
most improvements in living, begins in
cities. AS it stands to-day. the offspring
of our city lawyers and merchants are
on the whole healthier than farmers
daughters. ad ea

THE SONG OF NOSES.


The effect of this deliverance on the
Hebrews was like that which is produced
upon a man by his escape from death,
say in railway accident, or some other
catastrophe. They felt that they had
been at the point of destruction. They
had, as it were, looked in at the open
door of death and they came back again
with shuddering awe. They were sub
dued and solemn; while, at the same
time, their consciousness that God was
near them III the mystic cloud filled
their souls with reverence; so we read
that "they feared Jehovah, aud his serv-
ant Moses" But when this first feeling
of awestruck sOlemnity had passed, there
came happy gratitude, which Moses
voiced for them in that outburst of song
that has come down through the centur-
les, jubilant with the gladness of Exodus
and which will hold its place as the
fOremost'hymn of praise, until the day
when it should be surpassed by the
fuller and more ferved chorus Of "the
song of the lamb" l cannot attempt
its exposition here. only call you to
note the remarkable circumstance that
it is presumably the oldest poem in the
world; and that, in sublimity of con-
ceptiOn and grandeur of expression, it is
unsurpassed by anything that has been

that poetry here sprang full grown from
the heart of Moses, even as heather my
thology fables that Minerva came full
armed from the brain of Jupiter. Long
before the grand old ballards of Homer
were sung through the streets of the
Grecian cities, or the foundation of the
seven hilled metropolis Of the ancient
world was laid by the banks of the Tiber,
this matchless ode, in comparison with
which Pindar is tame, was chanted by
the leader of the emancipated Hebrews
on the Red Sea shore; and yet we have
in it no polytheism. no foolish mythol-
ogical story concerning gods and god
desses, no gliding of Immortality, no
glorifcation of mere force; but instead,
the frmest recognition of the personal
ity, the providence, the supremacy, the
holiness, and the retributive rectitude Of
God. How shall we account for all
this? If we admit the divine legation
and inspiration of Moses, all is plain il
we deny that, we have in the very ex
istence of this song hopeless and in

KEEPING EARLY PoTAToEs. We have
found the best way is to place them on
a barn floor which is not used, not over
foot or two in thickness, and cover
them slightly with straw or stalks to
prevent the light from turning them
green. An open or Slated floor would
be an improvement, for air to blow under.
This may be partly accomplished by
placing rails on the floor two feet apart,
and on those narrow boards, leaving
openings between them. If rot appears
they are readily assorted, and dashing
on water occasionally to be dried by the
air currents from below tends to prevent
rot. AS cold weather approaches they
may be removed to the cellar. Taking
them to the cellar as soon as dug ha,

WOOD ASHES AND SALT FOR

Realizing the necessity of an occasion
al relish of salt and wood ashes for all
kinds of stock, the World suggests that
the most convenient form in which these
materials can be offered, is in solid
mass which admits of a diligent licking
on the part of the animal without OBJ
tanning more of the mixture than is
desired. In order to mix the ingredients
so that solid mass may be formed, take
salt and pure wood ashes in the proper
ton of pound for pound, with water
sufficient to hold the mixture together.
To preserve the mixture in a solid state
place it in troughs or boxes sheltered
sufficiently to keep rain and snow from
reaching it and converting into an aka
line pickle. These troughs with their
tempting contents prove efficient bait
for alluring animals, turned out on long
runs during the day, home at night.
