New Postal Advantages.

The clause in the postoffice appropria-
ton bill which provides Ior the double
postal card, also provides for a letter
sheet envelope, which is to be stamped as
envelopes are now stamped, and doub-
lie letteT''envelOpe. The double postal
card is in size similar to the present one
cent card. It bears ct either upper
corner s one cent stamp, and lines are
drawn rom the center, sloping down
ward to each lower corner to be written
upon. The writer of the card uses the
right hand side, and the receiver uses the
left hand side for his reply. The double
letter envelope is stamped twice, and the
sender uses the right and the receiver
the left hand side In writing the dIrec~
tions. At The hack of this envelope is q
dOubleNgummed flap separated by per-
fOrated line. The lower one Is used for
Sealing by the gender, and the receiver
uses his knife ss6ng this perforated line
and has new gylF med flap ready for use.
The letter slFae5U envelope is designated
tn do away with outer envelopes. The
postOfhce department had nothing to do
in having this clause inserted in the bill.
1t was done late at night in one of the
last conference reports made on the bill.
There is no direct appropriation in the
bill for these postal novelties, but it is
provided that the appropriation Tor pos
tai cards and letter envelopes for the
year commencing June 30, 1879, and
ending June 80 1880, shall be applicable
for the purchase of " said letter sheet

CuItivatorz have been slow to sppreci-
ate the importance OF giving more atten-
ton to sweet apples for stock eeding,
culinary purposes and for table use.
This has probably arisen from the fact
that there is not q demand for them IN
market. Farmers would, however, find
them valuable for more extensive home
use. Baked apples are the cheapest food
for the table, requiring but little labor
in preparation. The sweet varieties may
be led to horses, cattle, sheep and swine
N winter, in connection with dry food,
when they happen to be in superabund>
ance The most profitable varieties have
not been determined, Be cause they are so
little raised Tor the above mentioned
purposes. EnterprisiDg farmers would
do well to plant small, special orchard,
consisting of the leading sweet varieties
offered by nurserymen or described 10
the books. They would thus, in the
course OF time, acquire practical knOWl-
edge which might be of much value.

Old Families.

In the south of Scotland, following the
course of the Tweed, there are sprinkled
about families of land-proprietOrs boast
ing an cid line of succession. The old
est, SIS far as we are able to disc yer, is
that of Horsbrugb, of Horsbrugh, the
date of whose settlement is lost ia the
mists Of antiquity. The frat Of the race
was an Anglo-Saxon chief, designated
Horse, or Ore, who, settling on the
lands on the north bank of the Tweed,
Peeblesshire, there reared the castle or
burg which communicated the present
surname TO his descendants. We have
no doubt that this family is at leaFt
eight or nine bupdEed-it may be one
thousaDd-yesrs old, ard 70 this day it
retains the original property. All the

Col. FOrney ON the Female Pedestrian
Craze.

Craze
During the Centennial exhibition /
CHANGED TO look in at one of the outside
shows where q Professor Somebody was
walking for a wager, Of course. so many
miles in so many hours. He was a
frightfRl object; he had been on the
tramp then for, ] do not know how many
DAYS; gaunt, with sunken eyes, and he
dragged himself about the ring, holding
on as he went, to the railing for support.
There were not many persons enjoying
this refined spectacle, but the entertain
ment must have paid somehow. It is
said that the matches of 10 day are free
of these unpleasant features, and that
with their bands Of music and the jsun-
ty costumes of the walkers, are really
enjoyable. It is easy to see how enc can
take interest in horse race, billiard or
a base ball match, but what possible
pleasure can be found ia watching q man

nick I'D a newspaper without reading
that a Miss or Mrs., and in some places
half a dozen of them, are walking, for
the women have driven the men off the
track and are outragiDg nature in every
city and town IN the country. It is a
mania positively witheut excuse. It
gives no excitement, it proves nothing,
and It is as Objectionable almost as pTiz :

outs himself On q level with the brute.
It Is ruinous to health, it encourages the

Governments Last About Five Hundred
Years,


The following is an extract from late
sermon of the Rev. David Swing of
Chicago: AS nations do not rise in a
day, 90 in a day they csn not be over
thrown. There are some siDgular records
in history. It seems th&t a great nation
can not turn on its axis more than once
in four or FIVE hundred years. Some of
the old states lie outside the bounds OF
history; but those inside these bounds
show great uniformity in making the
time of radical changes il dynasty.
Egypt was under shepherd kings about
Eve hundred years. Her golden age,
when she so hourished in art, spread over
three hundred years. The Hebrew re-
public ran from Moses to King David
five hundred years; and then came the
empire to enter upon five or six years of
success The glory OF Greek liberty
covered about i've hundred years. Rome
enioyed all the splendor of a republic
for the sans strange peried--462 years.
Thus. between CiDciDpatus, the former
president. and the overthrow Of the
republic by Gear and Antony, there
intervene the magical five centuries.
SDain end France and Germany, formed
out of new countries which followed the
breaking Up of the western empire, are
now living well and happy in the foul
hund reth year OF tbeiE separate lives
These statements are sufficiently truthful
AZ least 10 assure US that those great
-tsrs which we call nations can neither
be placed II the sky IN q day nor IN 8
dsy be blotted from the galaxy. Behold
thrsugh what turmoils France has come
The atheist and communist asssiled her
/ NAPOLEON drained her of men and money
nv ws1s of ambitit u. Other revolutions
came. Then came the usurpation O
Napoleon, and the German war with
| defeat aud fine of thousand million
dollars; aud yet to-day France comes
out Of those connections q wise suC

Serving the Lord with GIsdness.


We must serve something or some
one. L we serve ourselves we gain moth
ing by it; for we cen give Ourselves only
what we already have. II we serve our
tellOW~men, obey their commands, pro-
noting their interests and enhancing
their glory, we can obtain from then
only what they have to give. Perhaps
they will not perceive the value of our
services, and have no grateful apprecis-
ton thereof. What they can give is
perishable and of little worth. II we
serve any passion we are the slaves of g
demon. God permits us to serve Him,
that is to obey His commandments, CO.

promote His glory. The service of God

personal Character OF yeuus.

IF We attempt to discover what it is
IN the personal character of Jesus Christ,
as shown in His life, that thus attracts
such permanent admiration, it is not
difficult to do so. In an age when the
ideal OF the religious life was realized in
the Baptist's Withdrawing from men,
and buryiDg himself in the aseetic soil
tudes Of the deserts, Christ came, bring
ing religion into the haunts and homes
and everyday life OF men. For the NOR
tifcations OF the hermit, He substituted
the labors Of active benevolence for the
fears and gloom that shrank from men.
He brought the light OF cheerful piety,
which made every act of daily life
religious.

stabnttr of Coda Church.

Rev. DR.. MacLaren remsrks in one of
his published sermens: " If it had been
possible to destroy the church of the
living God, it had been gone long, long
ago. Its own weakness and sin, the
ever new corruptions of its belief and
pairing of its creed, the impeTfections of
its life, and the Worldliness of its heart {;
the Astounding evils that lie around it,
and the actual hostility o. many that
look upon it and say, Rae it even to
the ground, would have smitten it to
the dust long since. 1t lives, it has
lived in spite Of all, and, therefore, it
shall live. God viii establish it for
ever In almost every land there is
some fortress or other which the pride OF
the inhabitants calls the maiden fort
ress,' and whereof tie legend is that it
has never been taken, and is inexpung-
able by any foe. It is true about the
tower of the heck, the stronghold of the
daughter of Zion. The grand words of
Isaiah about this very Assyrian invader
are our answer to all fears within and
foes without: Say unto him, the virgin,
the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee
and laughed thee to seoTn; the daughter
of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at
thee. l will defend this city to save it
for My own sake, and for My servant
D8vid's. sake God will establish it
forever And the pledges of that eter
nal stability are the deliveraDce Of the
past and OF the present"
