After Business.
BY REV. DIR. DEEMS.

Business ought not to be restful. A
true man of business works his brain al
most necessarily during business hours
There are very few empIoyments in which
it is smooth sailing all the day long
Business has its troubles, its anxieties, its
careful watchings. A business man is on
the strain all day to keep things right
behind him, sound under him, and open
ING before him. He has to contend with
opposition and competition. There are
men lying in wait to deceive and ensnare
him. He has to put his whole mind to
his business. There must be no diver
sion. He must be wholly in his affairs if
he is to be a successful business man.
His home is that from which he goes
to his work, and that to which he returns
from his work. 1t is very important that
a man shall enter upon the morning Sc
rene. To that end all about his house
ought to be quiet and sweet. Wife and
children and servants ought to study his
physical and mental needs. He.should
90 down from his doorstep crowned with
so many benedictions that he shall long
for the hour which will allow him to re-
turn. Then there will be to him nothing
behind in the way of bitter memories, and
nothing before in the way of harassing
anticipations to break the full power
which he shall bring to his work:
Business over, he should lock his door
behind him. and 90 home to be at home.
The faded toiler ought to enter balmy
atmosphere The gentle wife, the loving
children, the trained servants, should give
to this resting-place a charm which makes
him forget his cares, his anxieties, and his
"bull" and bear" fights down on the
Exchange.
All these dehciously soothing attentions
should come spontaneously. In his home
the business man must not be exacting
Perhaps the wife has had a day of trial
It is not always easy to manage domestic
affairs. Servants are not always angels
that, having lost their wings in heaven
have come down to human kitchens The
children don't always feel well, and they
sometimes torment their mother, and thei1
mother torments them. But each partner
in the domestic establishment should, a
far as possible, keep annoying details from
the other partner-the wife from the hus
band, and the husband from the wife

tame as cats, except IN one Respectively
don't like to be caught. At night they
Craze around the bush-camp, and in the
morning the hunter lassoes the two or
three who are to carry the packs for the
days march.
As soon as a horse sees he has been
singled out from the herd for capture, he
does his best to avoid the flying moose;
But the moment he feels the lasso fall
around hisneck, hestopsshortin his gallop
and allows himself to be bridled. When
tbe hit is once in his mouth the lasso IS
removed and he will stand for hours in
the same spot, without attempting even
to Craze.
With the bolas, or balls, the. hunter
secures his game. They are Of two kind.
One kind, used for ostrich hunting, is of
the round stones or pieces Of lead, COW
cred with leather and joined by thong
of from six to eight feet long. The other
is used to capture the guanaco, is formed
of three balls, united by thongs to a com
mon centre.
Much skill is required to throw the
bolas so as to bring down the game
Swing them around his head, until the
requisite pitch of velocity is gained, the
hunter, his horse going at full speed, hurls
the balls at the swiftly flying ostrich or
guanaco. The instant they touch any
part of the body, they twist themselves
round and round. The speed is ham
pered, and the bird, or animal, falls an
easy prey to the hunter.
A traveller in Patagonia says that he
has frequently seen a hunter throw the
boIas at some refractory colt, going at full
gallop.
So true was the aim that the balls
would curl themselves about the hind
legs, and efectually stop him, without
doing him the least harm.
When throwing at an ostrich the hun
ter aims for the neck, that the balls may
entangle its legs. The ostrich is a cum
ming bird and, when pursued by the
dogs, has a trick Of doubling" AS soon
as the pack is near it, the bird suddenly
darts sideways, and before the dogs can
check their speed 50 as to turn and follow,
the shrewd bird is long way off.
Often at the approach Of danger the
ostrich crouches fiat on the ground,
with its neck stretched out under the
grass. In that position it will remain
motionless till the dogs have passed
When the wind blows against the scent,
the stratagem is successful. But should
the dogs find the hiding bird, it lies
still, as if bewildered by It's failure, and
makes no attempt to escape.
The traveller referred to once had
a pampa dinner cooked by an ostrich
hunter. The bill of fare was as follows;
Soup, rice and ostrich meat, broiled os-
tric6 wings, ostrich steak, cold guanaco
head, roast ostrich gizzard, ostrich eggs
roasted before the FIRE. eustard- of Ostrich
eggs, favored with gin Youths COM

The Skool Boy.

The skool boy il the victim ov
cirkumstansis. IF be lives in the
country he haz got to git up early
enuff to puntch the chickens off the
roost, then start the fire in the
kitchen stove, then put on the tea
kittle, and then go for the cows.
After the COWS have been milkt, he
hurrys,y down his hash, and buck
wheat kakes, and then thrashes
beans two hours with the old man
out in the korn krib. Now he.
walks three miles in a sno path to
the distrikt skool hous, and gifts
tbare Just in time to split up sum
wood for the days fire. Skool
OPENS, and he takes his seat on the
fat side ov slab bench and bends
over a Webster's spelling book
dogeared. and without any covers.
For variety, he stands up in a no,
and spells three sillable words, or
skratches on a greasy slate long
sum in addishun. Noon Gums at
last and he eats, up in a
corner, his two slices oy stale rhye
bread, and biz piece ov pi krust
and drouns the dri dinner, with a
pint ov lukewarm water, out ov a
pine pail, behind the stove. The
only fun he haz, is to slide down
hill on a barrel stave, back oy the
skool hous, and git thrashed when
he goes home, if he happens to
wear the toes ov hiz boots emmy, or
rends the base ov hiz panterloons.
Mite Gums, and he haz had days
skooling, and plods bak home to
saw wood enuff to last next day, be-
fore he eats hiz puddin and milk
supper, and sinks off into the wood
hous chamber, to hiz corn husk bed,
without emmy handel, only the light
oy the stars, shining through the
kracks in the clapboards ov the
building. This waz skoolboy life in
the country 40 years ago, but if
the boys, now days, had to skool it
in this way, they would sue the old
man for damages, and emmy kind ov
decent jury would bring in a ver>

Planting and Culture If Fruit Trees.

w aF+ he Rural Sun. 1e~
Farmers who never expect to se-
cure a paying crop of corn or po-
tatoes without thorough prepare
ton Of the soil, careful planting of
the seed and entire eradication of
all weeds and plants from the
ground, vainly think to raise fine
fruits BY thrusting young trees into
holes in a sod, and leaving them to
take care of themselves. A young
tree thus treated will no more
thrive and become productive of
large fruit than would hill of corn
under the same circumstances.
Drainage, manure, pulverization of
the soil and the destruction of
weeds, must be attended to 20 Sc
cure the same results. While trees
are small, crops may be raised in
the space between them; but the
ground Immediately around each
tree, foot or two beyond the
spread of its branches, should be
kept free from grass and weeds
which would draw away from the
roots moisture and fertility, and be
kept loose, SO that air may circulate
freely through it.

Railroad Enterprise.

ST. LOUIS, June 28.-The pre-
parations for changing the gauge OF
the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern Railroad, which have been
in progress for two months past,
eliminated last night, and at day
light this morning over 5000 men
commenced the work Of shifting the
rails, and long before night the en-
tire line, nearly 700 miles from St.
Louis to Texarkana, was changed
from FIVE feet to the standard gauge
four feet eight and half inches.
The locomotives and cars have also
been changed, and traffic under the
new order of things will proceed
without break or -hindranee. The
road will also connect with the
Union depot of this city to morrow,
and thereafter all passenger trains
of this line for Southern points on
both sides of the Mississippi river,
will start from that great center.

The "Christian at Work" has a
pleasant little note on the surprises
Of heaven, in the course Of which
it says:
"Who will be the most surprised
people in heaven ? Perhaps, next
to those who will be very much as
tonished, not to say astounded, at
seeing some-not all-of the su,
preme pontiffs in heaven, the pons
tiffs themselves who get there will
be most surprised. Take the late
Plus TX, for example. We sup
pose himgto have been good man,
very erroneous in doctrine, and not
by any means impeccable in life.
Still, when the heavenly gates
swing open to him-we hope some
of our very nice Presby terrain
brethren won't be offended at the
suggestion that very likely Pope
Plus TX. is now very happy in the
company Of Luther, Calvin, Me-
lancthon, Knox, Zwingli, Latimer,
Ridley, Tyndal and .Rogers-welJ,
when the heavenly gates swung
open to Pope Plus TX. no doubt he
was surprised to learn that he had
committed a good many mistakes,
that his yicegerency was not &C.
knowledged by the great Head Of
the Church, that the Gcumenica'
Council with its Instability dogma
was a pardonable error and blunder
and that the Court of Rome was
conducting its affairs very different
ly from the methods of the Court
of Heaven and that the Roman
hierarchy were assuming rights ane
prerogatiyes not at all in accord
ance with the Masters teachings

Fruitfulness of a Grain of Wheat

If, says writer in a German
contemporary, we reckon that a
single grain of wheat produces fifty
grains, and that these fifty will each
produce fifty grains more, andso on,
we find : In the second year $500
grains in'the third year 125, 900 ;
in the sixth year Is, 625, 100000 ;
in the twelfth year 44,140,625,-
100000 grains. The third years
crop would give 300 nien one meal,
leaving enough bran to feed eight
pigs one day. The produce of the
single grain in the twelfth year
would suffice to supply ali the in
habitants Of earth with food during
their ifstinaeA ! ~ ~ wda J
