A SOuk for Seed GOrn.

A correspondent OF an exchange has
tried soaking seed corn in a solution ot
chloride of lime, and says of it: "by
soaking seed corn for seven hours in a
very strong decocton of ch lorile of lime
corn can be forced ahead to maturity
two or three weeks sooner than it will
mature otherwise, besides, he thinks, it
renders the seed almost proof against
the depredatiens Of gophers. The lime
warns up the germ of the seed, and
sends it up quickly, giving it tw" or
thre. weeks the start of corn planted in
the ordinary way. thereby insnrlng

Not SyuptO,ps. but tbe Disease.

1t would seem to be II truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors Ofthe healing
art, that to remove the diseases, not to alievi-
ate its symptoms, should be the chet aim of
medication. Yet in how many instances do
we see this truth admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reason that H0stetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is successful in SO many cases,
with which remedies previously tried were In
adequate to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is a medicine which reaches and re-
moves the causes OF the various maladies to
which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, gout. rheumatism, dis
orders OF the bowels, urinary affections and
other maladies are not paliated merely. but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the fountain
head. 1t Is really. not nomlnally, radical
remedy, and it endows the system with an
amount ofvigor which is its best protection
against disease

them, Sin. Look at the money spent
in this great country for whiskey alone.
We don't say to God, Give US this day
our daily whiskey,' do we' | tell you
ther- are mints of money spent for
whiskey that ought to ieed children's
mouths with bread. The fact OF the
case is, this nation has been to pros
p.rous. The Jews, ths chosen people
of God, never could stand prosperity.
As soon as they got rich they went to
worshiping idols, and, whenever they
got fat, they began to kick against
God, fear American morals suffer in
proportion as the nation prospers.' The
failing with persons who say the Lord 8
PRAYER is, Mr. Moody thinks, that they
do not really mean what they say. "lf
the Lords Prayer was meant earnestly,
and made the rule of life, We would
have none of those great standing ar
mics that are kept menacing one
another in the Old World yonder.' y
How can a man say "Abba Father" if
he is not a child of God! and how can
the unregenerated man say "Hallowed
be Thy name!' Reverence thyself
i, the motto of the world. The natural
man works from himself as a centre
All acts, all enterprises, all energ les
and all ambitions "have i'll view the
