If your minister lacks magnetism,
by all means get rid of him. He may
be good as gold, faithful pastor, fine
scholar and a true friend but in these
modern times we must have magnetism.
A simple plain preacher, who breaches
the fresh milk of the Gospels not all suit
ed to our wants. We must have a
man of the condensed milk sort. He
must be the personifcation of the whirl-
wind. man who tears everything up
by the roots and makes you wonder
what he will do next; a man who will
draw from all neighboring churches,
and so increase your pew rentals that
you can afford to have quarter with a
soprano who lives on the high C's and a
base profoundo whose lowest notes come
from sepulchral depths man who can
write rhetorically and twist himself into
all sorts of logical contortions, until
you find it impossible to tell wheather
he is exactly orthodox or not or whether
he is any thing or not. By means,

up the general reputation and turn out
nothing but men of immense magnetism

SALT, SULPHUR AND CHARCOAL FOR
PIGs.-We have observed that when pigs
are fed great deal of hearty food, they
are fond of salt and charcoal. Pigs are
often affected with indigestion, and the
salt and charcoal are good remedies.
We cannot well mix these things with
their food in the right proportion, and.
moreover. it would not be best to at
tempt to force pig to eat them unless
it wanted to. or else its appetite might
be destroyed and harm come from the
experiment; but by mixing the salt and
charcoal together, and putting them in
a box accessible to the pigs, they will
eat no more than they require. There
is no danger in putting either salt, char
coal or sulphur. where the pigs can get
them, but to mix them in their food
might injure them. especially if one Of
them should possess a voracious appe-
tite. Hogs will eat considerable guam
tity Of sulphur, and it is exceedingly
healthful to them as purifier of the
blood, and to help them to get rid Of
the vermin which infest their bodies
inside aud out. We want the pigs We
arc going to eat to have plenty of sui
phur. at least all they will take. Theil

FARMING DOES PAY.


When learn, says writer i'll the
NeU England Farmer, that only one
farm in twenty-five is paid for when
bought, the wonder to me is, not that so
many fail, but that 30 many succeed.
When Richard Roe buys John Does
farm for $500, pays $4,000 down,
and gives mortgage of 81 800 at eight
per cent. expecting to make living for
himself and family, pay Mr.. Doe $50 a
month interest, and have net three or
four per cent. at the end of the year on
$1,000, it brings no surprise to me that
Mr.. Roe finds such farming don't pay.
What does the man own in fact? just
$4,000. That figure represents his cap
ital. There IS no business to be found
to-day. other than farming. in which
$4,000 can be made to yield any kind
of a living to family without drawing
on the principal. Men undertake toe
much on too little capital, and inevitably
fail. 1t is not for the general good tha
farmers of this class should parade theil
.misfOrtunes at every opportunity. mis-
leading public opinion on matter tina
lies at the very foundation of our nation
al prosperity. Farming does pay, ant
pays we'll on the capital actually invested
with such general intelligent manage
ment as would be necessary in any othe
business which offers as good securit,
for the investment; there is no other in
vestment which brings more contentmen
and less wearying anxiety of mind. Tn
man who o,0ns his farm and has tire
or four per cent. at the end Of year Of
the paid.up capital, after supporting hi
family, is actually in better condition
than nine tenths of the men IN any othe
calling.

A HINT TO WORKINGMEN.

The honest workingmen of the country,
many of whom have large and increasing
families to support, have been the chief
sufferers from the great financial pres
sure under which we have labored for
the last few years. Diminished wages
have not been attended by correspond
ing diminution in price of every thing
which the workman needs. Rents, fuel,
food. and clothing. are cheaper, but
those do not constitute all his necessities.
1t is sometimes necessary for him to en-
ploy lawyer or a physician, yet the fee
rates of physicians and lawyers are as
high as they were in Flush times. Yet
cheap medicines are as necessary as cheap
rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are not
necessarily poor medicines. 1t must be
obvious to every intelligent person that
medicines. compounded and put up at
wholesale, can be sold at much lower
rates than when retailed from the doc
tors pill bags. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets have completely restored
persons who had spent hundreds of dol
lars in yainly seeking relief from private
practitioners, and all at very slight
expenditure.

AWARDS AT FAIRS.

On this subject, correspondent of
the Lire Stock Journal writes as fol-
lows:
Just now is good time to say some
thing about premiums, or rather the
system prevailing at our exhibitions by
and through which prizes are awarded.
We all know that large proportion of
these awards are not bestowed on the
best, and still more seldom do the best
breeding animals receive them. Not
only is this the case at tho small fairs,
but at shows of national and worldwide
reputation. am not so uncharitable
as to believe that 50 large a proportion
of the judges are dishonest or act from
improper motives, but would rather at
tribute it largely to want Of system or
want of adopted rules upon which to
base judgment. If a we'll defined stand
ard for each class of sheep were adopted,
and the head of each association would
place il ID the hands of the judges with
the instruction to judge points of excel
lence by that standard, or even if each
judge or examining committee would
adopt one for their own action, it would
be far preferable to the present plan of
none at all. 1t is not necessary that
the standard adoption should be per-
feet one-for such one will never be
rnada by unan--but atoAaova- Arr~sz>A
by some good authority. This would
create uniformity in judgment, or rather
a basis from which uniformity in awards
may be obtained. One may say, "but
the standard is not good one." Very
we'll, apply the remedy change and i'm
prove it before another year, until il
receives general approval.
Under the plan now in practice, 8
committee is selected-generally ''pickeC
up" on the ground-each of whom MAJ
have a standard of his own, but gener
ally none at all. 1t is not to be won
dered at that complaints are made lout
and long of the judgments of the com
mittee. Another year rolls around, ant
the same routine of mistakes and com
plants are seen and heard. only a diff
ferent committee has acted. So it con
tlnues year after year and comparativel
no progress is made.
If standard of points of excellenc
were adopted generally, and worked u
to, we might except signal improvement
in the awards, and more satisfactio
among exhibitors; and last, but nj
least, as result, a greater and mol
uniform improvement from year to yea
in the stock itself. This last is ostens
bly,, and should be really, the prime Of
Ject of exhibitions.

A Coop WITNEss.-A correspondent
of the EUangeliSt, writing about the
question of one or two sermons a day,
says al have been pastor for more
than thirty years, and two things are
my experience: First can preach far
better in the evening than in the morn
ing; less scholastic, it may be, but
more fervently, earnestly, practically,
satisfactory. Second, Far more persons
come to personal decision upon relig-
ion Saying, i will arise God be mer-
ciful to me sinner,) after an evening
sermon than the former. l have found
it we'll at times to preach a doctrinal
discourse in the former part of the day,
and then an attendant practical one; e.
g., A. M. GLORY of God.' what is it ?
P. M, 'Glorify God with your body and
spirit. divinity of Christi P. NJ, the
duties and comforts flowing therefrom,
etc. 1t is we'll to keep the mind of the
audience, as far as possible, upon one
subject the day through. This usage Of
one service, and the sermon but half
hour long, is fatal to doctrinal preaching
and is just the thing that too many
persons want, and this broad church

too indefinite, lose, undeciding views

ssIN THE FOLD"


IL am in the fold l'' So said an
interesting little girl of thirteen, in
Christian congregation recently, when
asked whether she had given her heart
to Jesus. The reply, IL am in the fold J"
was given with such meekness, and such
a smiling countenance, that it touched
all hearts that heard her. The good
Shepherd has fold for the lambs, and
green meadows where they may gambol
and be nourished unto eternal life.
Some Christian parents (alas, that it
should be so } are strangely skeptical
about this folding of the lambs. And
yet the tender voice of the loving Shep-
herd all along the ages, speaking to the
ear of the church, saying, "Feed my
lambs!" Apostles heard the injunction
at the first, and, acting Immediately
under his high commission, in the put
ting forth of their apostolic energy swept
whole households into the kingdom.
Joy and gladness and triumph attended
their word in many a sacred home
enclosure. Beloved, 'the promise is
unto you and to your children" Make
haste to have the lambs folded. Leave
them not to wander on barren wastes
until summer suns have scorched them,
and twenty winter blasts have pierced
their vitals. Every day they remain
