RICH TOWARD GoD.-He that has no
love for God, no large spiritual affec-
tions, no share in the unsearchable rich
es of Christ, no sympathies with his
brethren, is, IN fact, "wretched, aud
miserable, and poor, and blind, and
Naked" and shall one day find out that
he is so, however now he may say, 81
am rich and increased with goods, and
have need of nothing" He only is truly
rich who is rich toward God-who is
rich in God-who has made the Eternal
and the Unchangeable the object of his
desires and his efforts. He in God pos
sesses all things, though in this world
he were beggar, and for him to die
will not be to quit, but to 60 to, his
riches.-Irench.

MIXED FARMING.

A contributor to the Rural Nea0
Yorker writes on the subject as follows /;
IL am an advocate of mixed farming.
| believe it better for a farmer to de-
pend on several crops for his money than
on one alone for, how often does some
particular crop become complete fail
ure? Then where are the funds coming
from to meet store bills, pay taxes, the
minister and printer? Some years there
is so much of one product raised that it
is very low, and if you happen to de-
pend wholly on that crop where are you
then
Now if you practice mixed husband
ry it is entirely different for you are
almost certain of some crop selling for
a good price hence you can be on a
surer footing than if you raised only
one kind of crop, especially if your cap
ital is limited for then you cannot af-
ford to wait till another crop can grow !;
accordingly l believe it always the sur
est and best plan for the young farmer
especially, to grow variety of crops.
The most Independent farmer is the one
who has more than one crop to depend
on.
If we can raise wheat at so cents a
bushel, can we afford to buy it at $l.25
If we can raise our pork at S. per hun
bred can we afford to buy it at s cents
a pound Let farmer who has prac

years, turn his attention to, and labor,
and if he does not have to deny himself
some of his usual luxuries | shall be
very much mistaken.

TREES ALONG THE ROAD.-Plant trees
along the roads and lanes and let them
be trees which will be for practical uses
when converted into boards. The
planting of black walnut, curled ma
pies, hickory and oak, and all bearing
trees whose fruit is valuable is desira-
BILE and if carefully cultivated and
trained in their youth, can be rendered
valuable. Fruit trees of all kinds, par
ticularly the apple and the cherry, when
selected with care as to the size and
shape, can also be rendered profitable
as bearing trees, and when they have
roaObod thOir full growth, and have
fulfilled their purpose in crops of fruit,
can be used for wood. A farm with its
lanes and stream of water planted with
trees, would not fail to elicit general
admiration, and be greatly increased in
value in few years.

The average age of sheep is ten
years up to that age they will breed
and thrive. There are instances, how
ever, Of their living to a more advanced
age, and isolated cases, as long as twen-
ty years, although with sheep as with
other domestic animals, they often ex-
coed their allotted time. Rings on the
horns indicate their age after they ar
rive at the age of three years At four
years old ring is formed at the root of
the horn, and every succeeding year ano-
Their is added thus by allowing three
years in adding the number of rings, it
is easy to arrive at the animals's age.
Hogs have been known to live for forty
years, though their average age is much
less. The average of the horse is twen-
ty years, but as beasts of burden they
seldom attain that age. When kindly
treated, however, and we'll provided for
they will exceed twenty and intances
are on record where they have lived to
the age of fifty. The longevity of the
elephant is greater than that of all other
animals. The average age has never
been computed, but many have been
known to live to a very advanced age.
There is white elephant now living in
the Imperial Menagerie in Russia that
is said to be over $50 years.

If you would believe in the life to
come you must look at the high powers
of the human soul, and 90 where the
sunlight is quickening life out of death
where the tokens of enduring love keep
guard above the green mound, and the
soul is keyed by the hand of hope into
such delicate harmony with the eternal
that it seems to the pensive spirit as
though some angel hand were stirring
the strings of that hidden harp. If we
do our part as single leaf in the great
forest of human life. when the falling
time comes we may let go our hold on
this life as fearless as the leaf fall to
the ground.-Our work on earth is done
and He who takes care of the field and
every leaf of the forest will not forget

There is no particular reason why
q COW that keeps easy is worth any
more for that quality. The ccw that
eats the most, and, as result, gives
the most milk, is the paying animal. 1t
pays to feed all that animals will eat
and assimilate. This is the season when
bran and meal are given to supplement
the shortened pasture. 1t is we'll to
remember that the meal is fattenlng,
while bran is milk producing. A mix
ture of the two is excellent for COWS
that are fattening, while at the same
time the owner desires to get good lot
of milk.

1t was long before mamma could quiet
him or find out the cause of his trouble,
but at last it came out how Freddie be-
lieved that distress at the loss of the
pencil which he had stolen-yes, stolen
Freddie saw his sin in its right light
now-had caused Toms fever, and how
he felt sure that his own rcmorse would
kill him. Mamma would not excuse his
fault or the wrong done to his little
playmate, but she told him that it had
not cause Toms illness, for he had been
dropping for a day or two. His mother
had only let him 60 to school because
he wished to so much, and Miss Lee
had noticed he was far from we'll when
he came in and when he had cried at
the loss of his pencil, she had seen that
something was very wrong with him.
At last Fred's mother left him with his
"remorse" quieted enough to allow him
to 60 sleep. although he still felt very
badly over the wrong he had done poor
Tom.
Tom did not die, nor did Freddie !;
and the latter, of his own will and with
out word to any one, saved his pen

soon as he was well enough to notice
them.-Jooana II. MuttheaoS, IN Child'S

KEEPING Hoes OVER WINTER.-In
answer to the question whether it is
best to put early pigs into the market
at nine months old or keep them over
winter, an old farmer says, after fifty
years experience in hog raising: Il
have yet to learn there is any profit in
keeping pigs over winter. Spring pigs
with proper care can be made to weight
$50 to 800 pounds at ten months old,
and by putting them into the market at
this age the farmer gets the use of the
money and runs no risk of loss from
death by accident or distress"

THE ETERNAL GLORY.


package, sealed and inscribed, "Nct to
be opened till you come of age" The
child often looks wonderingly on the
sealed package; but he respects the
fathers dying will, suffers the seal to
keep the secret, and wonders what sur
prise in is store for him IN the future.
The heavenly Father gives to each one
of his children such package, labelled,
1.-THE Eternal Glory Not to be opened
till you come of age" Many curious
eye has gazed on the sealed package;
many a curious imagination has ventur-
ed guess at its secret contents, but
they remain still unknown. A surprise
is in store for us when school is over,
and VIC graduate and enter into the true
life of our eternal home.
We are indeed afforded hints of the
contents and character of this sealed
package. We know that it contains for
US most glorious rest. Said a dying
saint, after three-score years of life
battle with sin and temptation, "In a
few hours or days, at most, l shall be
where l shall no longer wrestle with
temptation" 1t contains most glorious
work. Now we are in the wilderness,
in an earth cursed for our sakes, that
brings forth thistle and thorn, and gives
flower and fruit only in response to the
sweat of the brow. Then we shall have
passed the angel with the flaming sword
and be where thistle and thorn are un-
known, and where fruit and flower will
respond to the touch of human invita-
ton. Blessed are the dead who die In
the Lord ; they rest from their labors
but their a0orkS do follow them. We
know that it contains most glorious COM
panionships-the sweet companionship
of children who have known no sin; the
companionship of prophets and martyrs
who have fought valiantly against sin
the blessed companionship of saints who
have been ransomed and redeemed from
sin, and made their before stained gar
ments white in the blood of the Lamb
We know that it contains glorious
knowledge. Now We know in part. anC
prophesy in part; then We shall know
even as We are known; now we SCI
through glass, darkly, then face t.
face. We know that it contains a pass
port to glorious place prepared for US
and for each soul special place and ;
special preparation, as for each speci
al love. We know that it contains
glorious crown. Grander by far thai
Goethe's crown of knowledge is Paul
crown of righteousness crown of faltl
knowledge, valor, temperance, patience
godliness, Observation-Disclosures love.
And so we 60 through our life, com
forted in our troubles, strengthened i
our trials and elevated in our joys b
the wondering and expectant hope G
that day of glad surprise when the sea
ed package shall be opened, and W
shall know what the Lord hath prepal
ed for them that love him.
