Saturday Review.
DR.. Talmage's rccollcctions at StratfOrd
on-Ayen are, perhaps, as valuable as any
thing else contained in the volume devo-
ted to his life and works. "Herc," he
writes "is the chair in which he-Shakcs-

at the last, his own life ending in tragc-
tly as terrible as any he ever wrote, Ex-
cunt wine-bibbcrs, topers, grog-shop

William Shakespeare" DR.. Talmage's
knowledge of Shakespeare, his life and
times, is evidently profound; and We
trust that he will at once be made an
l&u4rary member of the New Shakes
peare society, but then, DR.. Talmage, as
we learn from the report of phrenolo
gist who examined his bumps, has tito

specimens Of his oratory," we see no rca-

way as to present the subject in the
most absurd light" 1t is pleasant to find
that ''he is disposed to keep time in mu-
sic, and step in walking,' but it is some
what disappointing to learn that "lan.

mental conceptions" Wemay, however,
console ourselves wife the final statement
that "as he is now organized he prefers
to stand out alone, by himself, and to be

that If this condition Of things is to be
changed, the change will not soon take
place in the human race at large.

The Commercial Value of Courtesy.

The Maverick bank at Boston, which
bas sold 100000, 900 of the government
4 per cents, has also been a remarkably
successful financial institution in other
respects, especially rs it has been run on
these extraordinary anti-traditional prin-
ciples, according to the Boston Adoertiser:
The directors believed that any person
who called upon the bank officials in
business matters should be treated cour-
tcously, however small their direct trans
actions might be. The spirit of accomo-
datlon was instille.l into every clerk and
employe of the bank. No one was al
lowed to stand around, awaiting with
fear and trembling the presence of the
bank magnates. If they had any bust
ness to transact they were received as vel
come visitors, and not as intruders. The
bank officials made the smallest dcposi-
tors feel that they were comforting fav-
or on the bank by depositing in the in.
stitution. The business was looked up
on as mutual advantage to bank and
depositors, and as consequence the bank
has now over seven hundred depositors
and $2,500,000 Of individual deposits.
But notwithstanding this shining illus
tration Of the commercial value Of cour-
tesy and politcncss in business, they will
continue to be, VIC suppose, about tho
scarccst commodities in the Market
Springfield Union.

A LESSON IN PATIENCE.

"And therefore, will the Lord wait that he
may be gracious unto you. Blessed are they
that wait for him"-Isa Ez1: Is.
You are weary of the waiting,
For the time is passing slowly,
And the blessings that you long for are delayed
From day to day;
And although you know your Father,
You do not trust Him wholly
There are tones of disappointment in your
voices while you pray.
You arc weary of Gods waiting,
His answer tarry longer
Than in your impatient cagcrncss you ere have
understood.
You know that He is loving,
But it seems if love were stronger,
veal the sought-for good.
Oh, like to wilful children,
Who with active hands are trying
To put away the discipline of patience and of
pain!
Who the unripe fruit would gather,
And who spend the time In crying
For immediate gifts and pleasures though with
them be smaller gain!
Oh, like impatient children,
You would hasten the tomorrow,
And deem that you arc ready for the good that
it may bring!
God deigns to give the reason
Why He keeps you yet in sorrow,
1Auu AoAue DdSA 1IOiu aA your CF4V1HS HilJy y
wished-for precious thing.
He waits to be more gracious
In his manifold revcalings
Of his wondrous loving kindness and His
tender fatherh0od;
He would have the blessing richer,
And more perfect make the healings,
And more costly the great treasures Hc is
keeping for your good.
And blessed arc the patient,
Who can trust Him In their sadness,
And, though He still may tarry, can calmly
wait for Him;
For He, their faith rewarding,
Shall crown them with His gladncss,
And their garden shall be perfect though it
comes when day is dim.
His grace is worth the waiting!
Oh, though the day be drcary,
And the land is full of sorrow, be confident and
strong;
He who knows the time Of blessing
Wait on aud be not weary,
For soon His wondrous mercy shall fill your
heart with song.

The faster and more gentle COW is
MIXED, the greater will he the amount
given. Slow mixers always gradually
dry up COW, and for the reassn that if
the milk he not drawn about as fast as it
is given down it will subsequently be
withheld, and that withheld, IS as mat
ter of course what is known as the strip
pings, in fact, the upper surface of milk
in the udder. Many mixers draw the
milk with strong downward pull, in
fact with jerk. This should never bc
allowed; it irritates the COW, and often
Injuries the bag Fill the teat and with
a firm pressure Of the last three fingers
empty it, drawing slightly on the tcat
and udder at the same time; SO proceed
alternately with each hand until the milk
supply is exhausted. Many mixers get
the habit of slow milking because steady,
firm, quick milking tires the fingers and
wrists. until by practice the muscles get
used to the work. Until this use be-
comes natural the Individual should only
milk such number as they can without
severe cramping of the hands; what arc
MIXED should be MIXED fast, increasing
the number until at last there is no tir-
ing whatever. Five minutes is the time
that should be allowed for milking COW.
There is another thing we'll worthy of be-
ing remembered. Cows should be milk
ed as nearly at given hour morning and
evening as possible, since undue disten-
tcntion Of the udder is always injurious.

Easter was observed by several of our
churches. At st. Matthew's the display Of
flowers was beautiful and elaborate. On the
left of the reading desk was a most beautiful
cross of Gala lilies, the green leaves acting as
a background. Over the chancel window, an
ivy was trained, and through the fresh green
of the leaves, some emblems, composed of
colored flowers, gave very striking and fine
effect Ga both desks were arranged clusters
of lovely flowers, while in and around the
chancel pot plants were scattered in luxuriant
abundance. The singing was very fine A

was also given with good effect, while the
chorus was excellent. The rector gave fine
discourse appropriate to the occasion, and the
people Of ST. Matthew's entered into the
celebration of one of, if not the most beautiful
days in the church calendar, with a devotion
worthy of so holy cause.
AT the Catholic Church the display of
flowers was beautiful and the singing excel
lent.
At the Universaist the display of flowers
was very profuse.
At the Congregationalist, flowers were ar
ranged about the vestry roam, ana the nsstor
preached an Easter sermon.
The usual temperance meeting was held on
Sunday evening at the Universalist vestry, and
remarks were made by Messrs. Hall, Jones
and Blanchard, who favored searching SO often,
that the LIQUOR sellers would be obliged to
dump, as he termed it, all the time.
