A little ammonia added to water, just

things to wash up grease and dirty places in
the carpet.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly, put in

There is greenness in onions and potatoes

Most of the diseases of cattle are caused by

rotten, decayed manure heaps; drinking mas,

AN Op1o11s CoMpAR1soN.-It was a calm

AN OD1oUs CoMPAR1soN.-It was calm,
still night; soft air played caressingly with
the tresses of lovely girl, and the moon shed
its gentle ray over the radiant brow Of her
lover. Her small brother, meanwhile, just
home from the holidays, was accidentally
wandering in quest of bat in the neigbor-
hood, when he heard the voices of his sister
and her betrothed. Prompted by the natural
curiosity of youth, he fingered to listen. After
a few inarticulate murmurs, he became con-
scious of the sound of OSCILLATION, and enjoyed
himself exceedingly. Later in the evening
he met the pair at tea. I heard you kiss
Fred" he abruptly remarked to his sister.
"What do you mean, you rude boy2" cried
the sweet girl, turning scarlet. 20, it's no
use denying it" replied her brother. "You
can't CANNON me. I know the sound, you
know it was just like cow pulling her hoof
out of mud-hole." This is an instance of
a comparison which was odious.

REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
INOUIRING. SAINTS.

was asked the other day whether 1 had
any recent meeting fer inquirers. replied
that I had not-thst there we're few inquiripg
sinners in the congregation and judged
the reason to be that there were few inquiring
saints. "1nquiring saints That is new
phrase. We always supposed that inquiring
belonged exclusively to sinners" But it is
not 30. Do we not read in Ezekiel xxxvi. 81:
"Thus saith the Lord God, l will yet for this
be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it
for tbem?" By the house Of lsrael-that is,
by his people, You see that God requires
and expects his covenanted people to inquire.
1t is true that saints do not make the same
inquiry that sinners do. The latter ask what
they must do to be saved, whereas the in.
quiry of the Christian is: "Wilt thou not re.
vive US again2' It is blessed state Of things
when the people of God are inquiring. 1t is
good for themselves, and it has most be-
nign influence on others. When the people
Of God inquire, presently the impenitent be-
gin to inquire That question "Wilt thou
not revive us2" is soon followed by the 9th.
er: "What must l do to be saved?" Yes,
when saints become anxious, it is not long ere
sinners become anxious. The inquiry of
three thousand on the day of Pentecost:
"Men and brethren, what shall we do3" was
preceded by the inquiry of the one hundred
and twenty, who "all continued with one &C.
cord with prayer and supplication." Gener-
ally, suppose, that is the order. First
saints inquire, and then sinners; and when
ever, in any congregation. religion does not
flourish, one principal reason Of it is, that the
saints are not inquiring. They do not attend
their inquiry meeting appointed for them.
The saints inquiry meeting is the prayer
meeting. In that Christians meet together to
inquire of the Lord "to do it for them
that is, to fulfill the promise about the new
heart and the new spirit, of which be had
been speaking. Now, when. this meeting is
crowded and interesting-when the inquiry
among Christians is general and earnest and
importunate- sinners inquiry meeting
usually becomes crowded and interesting.
Oh that l could make my voice to be heard
by all the dear people of God on this subject
would say You wonder and lament that
sinners do not inquire; but are you inquiring ?
You wonder that they do not feel but do
you feel? Can you expect heart of stone to
feel, when heart of flesh does not? You are
surprised that sinners can sleep. 1t is be.
cause you sleep alongside of them. Do you
but get awake, and bestir yourselves, and
look up and cry to God, and you will see
how soon they will begin to be reused, and to
look about them, and to ask the meaning of
your solicitude. Oh that the saints would
but INQUIRE !--Neyins.

A WITTY PRoFEssoR.-On the door of the
Greek classroom, Prof. Blackie, of Edin-
burgh, had occasion few weeks ago to put up
this notice "Prof Blackie regrets he is una
BILE to-day to meet his classes" A waggish
student, spying this, scraped out the initial
letter of the last word of the sentence, and
made it appear as if the professor was regret
full at his inability to meet those fair speci-
mems of humanity familiarity known outside
the college quadrangle as the classes" But
who can joke with Blackie? The keen.eyed
old man, noticing the prank that had been
played on him, quietly erased another letter,
and left the following to be read by whom it
might concern: "Prof. Blackie regrets he is
unable to-day to meet his asses! %

One man, JOKER stepped up to a member of
the party, and, holding long hair before his
eyes, said, "See here, old fellow, this looks
suspicious Where did this long hair come
from?"
"Why that's from my wifes head"
care you sure of it?'
"Sure of it? Of course I am. You don't
suppose you would find any other woman's
hair about me, do you?''
"No, probably not; but am sorry you are
so sure it is your wife's hair, for just pick
ed it off the coat of this gentleman" pointing
to friend near by.

HINTS For AUGUST FARM WoRK.-Fod-
der crops that have not been used, should be
cut and cured for winter Sweet corn stalks,
from which the ears have been pulled for mar
ket, should not be left to waste, but cut up
and cured as soon as the crop is off. The
ground may be plowed at once and sown to
white turnips There should be no waste Of
fodder, or Of ground, and every little saving
that is possible, should be made.
Experience proves, every season, the wis.,
dom Of blowing as much as possible, for spring
sowing. Early fall plowing has the benefit
of fallowing to some extent, and the earlier it
is begun, the more advantages are derived
from it; it is more beneficial on heavy land
than on light, but light land cannot fail to be
improved by it.
The stubbles are now idle upon most farms.
This is not desirable; dry weather at this sea-
son seriously interferes with blowing, and the
work cannot be we'll done if it is delayed. As
soon as the oats have been removed the ground
should be plowed, and if the weather contin-
ues dry it should be cultivated or worked
with the harrow. The disc or wheel harrow
is excellent for this purpose. Otherwise a
cross blowing should be given before the
ground becomes hard. The loosened surface
will keep the bottom from drying out.

DISCUSSIONS OF THE SABBATH.

In many of the Sabbath discussions, it is
forgotten that there is divine law upon
which they are to be founded. The writers
assume that there must be day of rest or
recreation, because the human economy seems
to require it, and because experience and ob-
servation have proven it to be benefcent.
With this as the basis of their reasoning, they
proceed to say what kind of Sabbath is best,
and to give the estimate to be set upon this
and that philosophy and practice as maintain.
ed by different people. The law of God
which says: Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy" is ignoranty and impiously ig-
nored, and they who insist on such an observ-
ance Of the day as this law demands, are
simply. classed with others who have certain
set Of opinions according to which they act,
and which they press upon the public.
We see it stated in several learned editori-
ais, that it is merely question of difference of
views, which must be decided according to
their relative value under the estimate Of
competent judgment One man says the Sab.
bath is holy day and must be devoted to
worship and such devout exercise as shall

should be spent in recreation, play, and what
ever will best promote the harmless and profit

editorial umpire who undertakes to decide the
case, takes the opposing theories, and regard.
ing them simply as these and nothing more,
announces his conclusions of course,
on the side of secularisation and physical en-
joyment.
Now, it is not question of liberty. There
are certain things NO one lfas right to believe,
because they are not true, or because lived
out they produce injury to men and society.
A lie is always outlawed. The views, opinions,
theories, or what ever they are called, of men
who take away from the Lords day its sacred.
ness, are in the face of his law and command
ment, and are entitled to no consideration fur
tber than as they are assaults upon the truth,
and need refutation. And the intelligent and

proper relations, will at once cast them aside

it, what "liberals" may say Of it, what the
whole world of the atheistic and carnally-
minded may think about it, is of small mo-
ment to those who, upon proper information,
will conscientiously come to their conclusions,
for with them the law Of God is authority
that is immediate and indisputable.
