1T DOESN'T PAY TO BE TOO
SHREWD.

1t doesn't pay to take advantage of
another's necessities. 1t is done how
ever, constantly, and by men who pride
themselves on their shrewdness. eau
seur, of the Boston Transcript. says he
knows case in point. A well-known
business man in Boston wanted certain
work done. 1t required special profess
sional skill which but few ever attained
But he found a young man who possess
it in high degree, who was greatly in
need of work, and consented to work for
very small pay. The employer chuckled.
The young man went to work and work.
ed on de6nate plan. He put the very
best skill he had into his work. His
employers customers were delighted.
They not only liked what he did, but
they liked it so we'll they would have no
other. Again the employer chuckled.
His business was growing in proportions
and in profit. One day the young man
asked for higher pay. His employer
said he couldn't afford it. The young
man knew 1t was lie, but he didn't
say so. He kept on working, doing bet
ter and better. Again his employer
chuckled, not alone over his gains, but
over the fact that he had, as he tho't,
deceived the young man. His confidence
in his own sagacity had rude awaken
ing one morning when learned that his
"dupe" had set up business for himself.
The customers who liked his work would
have no other. The employer has not
been able to find any one who can just
match it, at any price, and his business
is steadily going down. 1t doesn't pay
to be too shrewd. You may buy things
for less than they are worth for some
time, but the balance has got to be paid
in the end.

Malachi was the last of the prophets
and his book was the last of the Old
Testament. He prophesied about 400
years before the advent of Christ. He
lived in Jerusalem at time when Israel
was enjoying peace, and was established
in the Jewish worship. Ezra and Nehe-
miah had labored faithfully for the peo-
pie and the establishment of better
state of morals, but much wickedness
still existed. His prophecy opens with
declaration of the love of the Lord for
his people, and an accusation against
them for not retaining the same. 1t
seems, also, that they had fallen into the
habit of refusing to pay tithes and make
contributions toward the support of
the priests and Levites-it may be for
other religious purposes. The prophet
calls this robbing God. The Lord.
through the prophet, declares if they
will bring ''all the tithes into the store
house" that the windows of heaven shall
be opened and that great blessings shall
be poured out upon them, and that all
nations shall call Israel blessed. The
Lord accuses the people of uttering words
that are 'stout against him. They had
probably been in the habit of speaking
lightly of Gods service, and uttered
complaints. The people are represented
as complaining of blighted crops and
other misfortunes, even at the time they
were keeping the sacred ordinances.
They then refer to the proud, and call
them happy: "they that work wicked
ness are set up" The prophet makes
the above complaints for his people, as
an excuse for their shortcomings, and
then turns to the different conversation
of those among them who feared God
"spake often" and the Lord hearkened
and heard them, and these "saith the
Lord of hosts" shall be mine when |
make up my jewels. The shook of re-
membrance' is figure, but means that
the deeds of all men are kept in God S
memory and when they shall be adjudg-
ed it shall be from this book, their own
record. In the end, the difference of a
life of wickeduess and life of righteous
ness shall be we'll understood by all men,
and there will be no question in regard
to the advantage of having served the
Lord.
"About B. C. $50, Jerusalem fell into
the hands of Alexander the Great. In
B. G. 800, Ptolemy carried 100000
Jews captive into Jerusalem, and Judea
was subjected to the Ptolemies. In B
G. ITO, Jerusalem and the temple were
plundered by Antiochus Epiphanes, who
attempted to abolish the Jewish religion

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

Many hundred thousand dollars are
annually expended by ladies, for ''arti-
fetal" appliances to hide the shrunken
and wasted form, or the sallow skin,
blotches, or liver spots, which are due to
female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid liver,
and constipation. If small per cent.
of this sum were invested in DR.. Pierce s
Favorite Prescription, ladies would soon
really be what they now seem to be. 1t
readily corrects those weaknesses and
diseases upon which debility and enact
alton depend. 1t cures dyspepsia by
toning up the system, and when used in
connection with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, speedily overcomes all
Irregularities of the liver and bowels.

INSPECT THE CELLARs.-Many of our
farmers who have no special place built
for wintering vegetables and fruit, store
them in the cellar of the dwelling house.
In order to keep them from freezing
there the cellars are banked up tightly
in the fall No ventilation is provided
for, and the only way for the escape of
the nOxiOus gases arising from decaying
vegetables is through the openings in
the floor into the living rooms above,
where it is dealing disease and perchance
death to the occupants. Is it surprising
that diphtheria and scarlet fever and
every other fever results from such total
disregard of the laws of health? A
person will pay this inattention to sani-
tary measures, and then if his children
sicken and die he blames the weather,
or murmurs and grumbles at the dis
pensation of Providence cannot conceive
why God should afflict him thus severe.
ly. The Almighty is not to be blamed
at all in such instances; the fault lies
at the mans own door, or rather in his
cellar, and he ought to condemn himself
and mourn over his own neglect of duty
instead.

HOLDING 0N.-An in6del passing
through the shadows that hang around
the close of life. and finding himself
adrift amid the dark surges of doubt
and uncertainty, without anchorage or
harbor in view. was urged by his scep-
teal friends to "hold on" He answered
81 have no objection to holding on. but
will you tell me what to hold on by ?"
Here is question which men do we'll
to consider before they reach the closing
scene. If they are to hold on, what are
they to hold on by? Where is their
trust? Where is their confidence I?
What certainty have they as they go
down into the shadows? Surely man
who comes to his dying hour needs
something better than in6delity can give
him he needs the guiding hand of him
who is the resurrection and the life, who
has conquered death and triumphed over
the grave, and who is able to bring US
safely off at last. He needs that hope
which is ''as an anchor to the soul, both
sure and steadfast, and which entereth
into that within the veil. Tile Chris

CURE FOR SWEENEY have found
the following recipe to be excellent. 1t
makes good liniment, in fact, for al
most any sprain or swelling on horses ::
One ounce each gum camphor, alcohol,
oil of sassafras, spirits turpentine, aqua
ammonia, and sweet oil. Mix in bot
tie, and shake we'll before using. Apply
once day, rubbing it in we'll with the
hands. If applied too freely it may
remove the hair.-That, however, will
appear again, and of the original color.
If you find by the shoulder becoming
tender that you have used it a little
too strong, apply pure sweet oil to the
parts a day or two, and then 20 on as
before with the liniment.-I have tried
this in many cases, and have found it
one of the best liniments | ever tried,
much better than the practice of putting
in rowels or setons.-Erchange.

HARNESS GALLs.-It is a cruel thing
to work horse that has a neck worn
raw by badly fitting collar. In put
ting horses that have been comparatively
idle during the winter to the hard work
of the pillow and the harrow, painful and
unsightly sores are often caused which,
unless cared for at once, prove of long
standing, permanently dis6guring the
animal. When the abrasion first appears,
give the horse day or two rest. 1t is
better to do this even if important work
is somewhat delayed. Chloride of zinc
diluted with fifty parts of water and
applied with soft sponge, is a good
astringent, serving to harden and tough
en- the skin. But after all, the best way
to prevent CALLING is to have the collar
and every part Of the harness touching
the horse, perfect fit. Keep it well
oiled and pliable. Then inure the ami.

How TO GUARD TREES AND PLANTS
FROM INsEcTs.-Le Cultivateur, a French
journal, says that if chrolide of lime be
spread on the soil or near plants, insects
and vermin will not be found there, and
adds: "By its means plants will easily
be protected from insect plaques by
simply brushing over their stems with a
solution Of it. 1t has often been noticed
that patch of land which has been
treated in this way remains religiously
respected by grubs, while the unpro-
tected beds around are literally devas-
tated.-Fruit trees may be guarded from
the attacks of grubs by attaching to
their trunks pieces of tow. smeared with
q mixture Of chloride of lime and hogs
lard, and ants and grubs already in
possession will rapidly vacate their posi-
ton. Butterflies, again, will avoid all
plants whose leaves have been sprinkled
over with lime water"

THE QUESTION OF WEEDS.

Every good farmer knows that to in
sure satisfactory crops his land must be
cultivated in the best manner. and if it
is so cultivated few weeds will be found
upon it. Sometimes. even upon we'll
managed farms, field here and there,
owing to adverse weather. shortness of
hands, or rush of work generally, may
be neglected for a few days and the
weeds may get start; but this happens
rarely, and an observing man can always
judge Of the character of farmer by
glanciDg his eye over the premises. If
the weeds are not to be regularly and
Systematically destroyed, the idea of
conducting agricultural operations profit
ably may as we'll be abandoned, for the
one is incompatible with the other.
And even this is more pointedly so
with the garden. Weeds and garden
crop are as antagonistic as life and
death.-They cannot stand upon the
same platform. One must be master,
and it is for the owner to say which.
If garden is Systematically worked
and without system no garden is worth
having-the labor of keeping down the
weeds is reduced one half. But let them
get ahead, and they may be fought all
summer and prove victorious in the end
Again, let no weeds 60 to seed; and
do not throw into the public highway
such as do, to be washed down upon the
land of your neighbors.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-06-16

We picture death as coming to de-
stroy let us rather picture Christ as
coming to save. We think of death as
ending; let us rather think of life as be-
ginning, and that more abundantly. We
think of losing; let us think of gaining.
We think of parting; let US think of
meeting. We think of going away let
us think of arriving. And as the voice
of death whispers, 'you must 60 from
EARTH" let us hear the voice of Christ
saying "yOu are but coming to me !"-
Norman Mcleod.

Our Lord, IN his unbouuded love, has
taken great pains to teach us that death
is to be considered but sleep; that it
is to be in our minds associated with
sleep, and to be lIghtened and cheered
by that association. BY SO often en-
phatically calling death a sleep, He has
doubtless intended to alleviate and to
strengthen our minds by faith in Him,
showing us thereby his desire that we
should look on death as but sleep, in
ourselves and others. Isaac Williams.

The line of supernatural life may run
wholly in the midst of little and lowly
things, If one sign surer than any other
be chosen to mark the progress of the
Divine life, it is when sanctity prevails
even in the minutest points of character
and in ordinary ways. The casual act
may tell more of the secret power of
Jesus in the soul, than world-famed acts
of self. devotion. T. Z. Carter.

If any sincere Christian cast himself
with his whole will upon the Divine
Presence which dwells within him, he
shall be kept safe unto the end. When
did we ever set ourselves sincerely to
any work according to the will of God,
and fail for want of strength ? 1t was
not that strength failed the will, but
that the will failed first. If we could
but embrace the Divine Will with the
whole love of ours, cleaving to it, and
holding fast by it, we should be borne
along as upon the river of the water of
life.-Dr. Manning.
