not be left out of our regards unknown
and UNDECIDED. Human love cannot
always stand us in stead. The hour
cometh when God, our Father, must be
all to us, or we have nothing. When
we must discerR his presence and his
love, or find deselation indeed; when
we must have trust in his mercy, for
all other trust fails; when we must
take hic outstretched hand or sink,
helpless, and utterly forsaken, and ev-
cry spark of hope be quenched. Ac-
quaint now thyself with God, and seek
him while he may yet be found, Tor the
days draw nigh when thou eanst
have no other. Make thy peace with
him now by penitence and obedience.
Make thyself near to him in confidence
and prayer.
Our religion inspires the hope that
when all the waste places of earth and
time and death shall have been passed,
and they who have pleased God shall
be welcomed to his many mansions,
the society of earth shall be more than
renewed by a spiritual and enduring
companionship with the blest, in I'M
changing love and holiness. But we
cannot reach that abode till we have
trodden the wine press alone till we
have learned, in solemn experience,
that every friend faileth US in our need,
and that God must be all in all. We
must pass alone through the great is
sues of existence, lose the pressure of
every hand, the light of every eye, the
cheer of every voice. Let us see to 1t
that we carry into those dread passages
of our being the things that may sus-
tain us in that trial of loneliness; the
good affections that live on though
their objects disappear; the hallOwed
memories that survive the social scenes
in which they had their birth; the
strength of soul that the good and low
ing may have impaired, and that may
remain in us though they are not by to
exert it; the satisfactiOns that may con-
tinue, though the sphere of duty where
we won them has faded away; the
hopes that will still yield their cheering
fame when there is no other light, and
that faith of pious heart that all the
waters of death cannot quench. We
should make these our own, and secure
them early and surely. We must not
live on without them. Amid the null
titudes of friends, amid all the strong
sympathies and fond affections, the
smile of fortune and of love, remember
the sure coming times of loneliness, and
make close and strong the tie that joins
thee to thy God. And when the strug-
gle comes in which none can help, the
sorrow which none can console, and the
pains which none can alleviate, and the
grave opens for thy coming, and the
hor af ri ObtenuS INDIGNANT annearS for
thy hearing,-in all that loneliness
make it now the hearts familiar speech,
I am not alone, nevertheless L am
not alone, for the Father, his hand
shall lead me and his right hand up
hold me his countenance is my light,
and his mercy is my refuge and trust.

paper from his pocket and wrote, IF the

from the church last Sunday

duly appeared in the paper, and the fol-
lowing morning the man was astonished
when he opened the front door of his
residence. On the porch lay at least a
dozen umbrellas of all shades and sizes
that had been thrown in from the side
walk, while the front yard was literally
paved with umbrellas. Many of them
had notes attached to them saying that
they had been taken by mistake, and
begging the loOser to keep the little af-
fair quiet.

you have no Plymouth Rocks, or not
enough of them to start with, select the

and mate them with one or more Ply

Judicious advertisers select those papers which

CONN TIE SplI1G 10 us OOu ilOue.
We must appear before God alone
alone in judgment human love may
not interpOse there to cloak our sins
with charity, or take the blame of them
upon itself, or claim to share the con-
domination that may await them. In
the great concerns of the conscience
there can be no partnership here or
hereafter. For that harvest every man
has his own field to SOW, fenced off
from every other; and what he soweth,
that also must he reap,-he himself
alone. They who have watched over
us most carefully that the winds might
not blow on us too rudely, and have
labored for us that we might not labor,
and suffered for us that we might not
suffer, and made it the study of their
life to remove or tighten every burden
that would Cypress us,-they the near
est and most devoted lit is not they,
not their love and mercy, not their in
tercession that can remove one feather
from the weight of sin and outlines
or abate one .jet of the righteous retri-
buttons we have incurred. The mOst
friendless and the best befriended
stand equal and alone alike at that bar
alone with God.
Such are some of the modes of thai
loneliness which is assigned to every
mortal TO bear and to feel. These are
a few hints of the universal experience
1t must sometime be yours, and mine
and every mans. We must tread tht
wine-press alone.
And God is wise in this solemn ant
sad appointment. He would teach IL:
to find him, to commune with him, il
that solitariness which none other ma,
enter. No number and no devOtednes
| of earthly friends can be always sufi

come when they are powerless ant
must withdraw. 1t will be felt then

COOKING pouGHNuTs.

Some of my family speak emphat-
ically against greasy doughnuts, and
others hebraically oppose lard. To
crafty their tastes, l was forced to
give up the ordinary method Of fry
ing doughnuts in lard and use only
beef suet, which is quite as cheap,
clearly, and healthy. 1 buy from
the meat markets, speak before hand,
and make them save nice, whole,
clean leaves, which l cut up in small
pieces, put into dinner pot, which
will hold well about ten pounds. Put
in pint of water, and after the first
hour stir frequently; it takes about
three hours with a good heat to rem
der it. Drain through a coarse towel,
and if your suet is good it will re-
quire but little squeezing, and leave
but little scrap or cracklings. Put
to cool in pans or jars, and you have
an element into which, when well
heated, You can drop your twisted
goodies, with the assurance that they
will not only be ''done brown" but
that theysswill emerge with a flavor
and grain that will commend them
to the favor of an epicure. Dough
nuts thus cooked are more digestible
and of better flavor than if cooked
in lard, and the most fastidious will
not need to peel them before eating.
In frying, Teach lot should remain
on plate few minutes by them
selves to allow the hot suet to drain
off before being putw it'll those pre-
viously cooked.

PRUEING.FRUIT TREES.

The efforts of some fruit growers,
says Colmdn's Rural World, to make
all kinds and varieties of their fruit
trees to conform to one single idea of
pruning and training cannot but re-
suit disastrously, both to some of the
trees and to- the profits which the
grower expects to realize. The fact
is made evident when we notice the
wide difference in the habits of growth
of some varieties. Take, for instance,
the Bartlett standard pear, which
has rather upright growth, or the
Duchesse las half standard), which
is more so, and compare either with
the spreading growth of the Belle
Lucyative standard J and some 9TH
ers, and it can be plainly seen why
they should be prIned differently for
to prune them all, either to assume
an upright or spreading growth
would be sure to produce bad effects
on some of the trees. Az it is with
pears, so it is with other fruits, the
same rule holding good. There is
one method which can always be
pursued with good results, and it is
the one adopted by all well informed
fruit growers, and that is merely
thin out, each year, all dead, dying
or struggling branches, as well the
interfering limbs, and when more
pruning is necessary, to reduce the
quantity of wood, to make such prun-
ing conform to the well known habits
of growth of the particular variety
YOU are working on.

TWO CLASSES OF FARMERS

The farmers of the country may be
divided into two classes, according
to age and experience-the old and
the young. While there are many ex-
ceptions as to each class, it must be
admitted that the old are too prone
to continue old ways and methods,
and the young.are too ready to dis
approve of the old, and risk their in
terests on what is comparatively new
The true policy is to cling to any Gus
tom until something better is learn
ed; but to be sure while clinging to
be on the alert for any improvement.
Much of the life and interest of farm
ing arises from its beingss'a fprogres
sive work. Many important truths
hove been developed during the last
few years, causing important changes
in the means and methods of agri-
culture. Those who disregard these
developments must, of necessity, fail
to compete successfully with pro-
ducers who judiciously adopt what
is good in the new and hold to that
only which is good in the old. A
plain, middle-aged farmer tells us
that in his community the younger
men are succeeding much better than
the older, because the former are US
ing more of the fruits of recent ex-
perisnce.
