THE GREAT HELPER.

Every person is conscious OF lacking some
thing in his daily effort to live we'll 1t may
be an uneasiness as to the future in view of
the past. 1t may be a spirit of doubt that
dsturbs every effort toward faith. 1t may be
practical ignorance of the real duties of daily
life. 1t may be the want of some example
such as we have never seen in our fellow-men
to pattern life after, or the lack Of a positive
assurance that religion is real, that God is
real, that eternity is real.
Now if one or all of these lOngings of hu-
manity can be met and satisfied 10y any being,
that one is the Great Helper In Christ the
world has one that answers to this human
call. His grace is all-sufficient to lift any man
up out Of the dreadful past and the anxious
present to full assurance of the better future.
The fact that such being as Christ ever lived
on earth, is mystery to those who lived with
him, yet blessing to them for good-sOme-
thing of a mystery to all who have read his
life and death in the gospel since he has passed
away from earth, yet greater power in the
world to-day than ever-this fact ought to
satisfy any sane man that religion is a reality,
for Christ lived religion; that God is real, for
Christ was much above the highest conception
of man, he reflected the best idea that man
has of what God is that eternity is also real,
for Christ talked as familiarly of eternity as
he did of time. The only explanation that
can be given of such a being is the solution of
these great disturbing questions.
His practical life likewise enlightens our
ignorance of the duties of living. His life, so
pure, so true, so perfect, is the outline for our
life, and the infallible guide in life. What he
said and did under the varying circumstances
of his earthly being, as far as they touch our
lives, we may say and do. The way Christ
acted among men we may safely act. And as
he came from God and was of God, we may
know that Christ's life is the life God wants
man to live.
Christ, then, is the Great Helper, and not
to any one class or race of men alone, nor to
any one condition of life. He is the universal
friend, brother, Saviour. Why will any one
try to live without seeking help from Christ
81 am the way, the truth, the life. Golden
Rule

HENS AS FERTIL1zERs.-In the last Agri.
cultural Report for the State of Massachu-
sets, Mr.. Kinney, of Worcester, says that
from seventy.fve hens he made, in one year,
$3.50 worth of American guano. His main
object in keeping hens was for the purpose Of
dressing his land. Formerly he bought many
cords of manure to dress two acres of land.
He now cultivates eleven acres without buy.
ing cents worth of manure! He keeps his
hens confined the year round. He is very
careful to give them clean, wholesome food,
and to keep their house clean and sweet. The
floor is covered with three or four inches Of
gravel, and the droppings carefully and fire.
quently removed and kept dry. At the end
of the year he had $50 bushels of droppings,
making about one ton in weight, which he
pulverized and mixed with 81 tons of poor
loan and little plaster of Paris. He then
had Al tons of guano, which he testi6es is
better than any imported article he has tried.
He sows it on the ground, uses it in liquid
or solid form, in the hill and every where it
is a success. Speaking of the above, writer
in the New England Farmer says: Hens,
properly fed and cared for, will return one
hundred per cent. profit above their cost of
keeping in eggs alone, and when we add their
meat producing power, and lastly their fertil-
izing capacity, who will say that they are not
profitable to keep?'

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
! left side; sometimes the pain is, felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fre-E
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The. stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation Of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

RELIGION IN THE FAMILY.

The old Pagan nations were more consistent
than multitudes of professed Christians. Ad-
mitting that the religious services of the pa
gans were silly-often stupidity groveling-
still, we have every reason to believe that the
practicers of these services were sincere. Not
only So, but they reduced their religion to
practice. Such is not the case with many who
profess to be followers of Jesus Christ. 1t
really seems that what is known all over the
world as family religion, is not so common
now as it once was. Not many years ago
there were, in our country, great number of
congregations, every member of which wor-
shipped God, night and morning, with his
family in his own house. In fact, in some of
the old and best regulated congregations, the
head of family who neglected family wor-
ship, subjected himself to discipline. Such is
not the case now. At least, it would be diff
cult to find congregation, every member of
which prays night and morning in his own
house.
We would not make the impression that we
think true evangelical religion is dying out.
We believe no such thing. There are more
practically godly men and women to-day, than
ever were in the world before but it may be
that there are more prayerless men and wo-
men in the Church to-day than were at some
previous time.
Every head of family, who is a member of
the church, should remember that in joining
the church he engaged to lead pious life.
Now, it may be asked, how can he be pious
without prayer? He may say, II can not
pray" Well, if this be true, he must be a
strange man and is to be pitied. Either he
has no wants which he thinks God can supply,
or he knows he has wants and that God is able
and willing to supply them, but he is unable
to put words together which will express his
wants so that an omniscient God can under
stand what he means: This would he fearful
mental weakness. No man will admit that
such is Ills case. The simple fact is, that men
do not pray; not because they cannot, but be-
cause they will not.
We will not dare to say that professed Chris
tians who have families and do not have what
the old fathers called family worship, have no
religion. We feel safe, however, in saying
that the probabilities of the man who prays.
night and morning, in his family, are better
for heaven than those of the man who never
prays Supposetwo men are anxious to borrow
a certain sum of money. Both know that a
certain individual has the desired sum, and
that he would readily accommodate either or
both of them. Suppose one of the men would
ask the money holder for the favor, and the
other would not, to which one is it probable
the favor would be granted ? We need Lot
make the application. Every one can see it.
He who asks not, can not expect to receive.
Family religion has some things in it that
should commend it to the good sense of every
professed Christian. 1t serves as a regulator
to all our daily labors. There is something
delightfully."- pleasant in beginning and ending
each day by worshipping God.

THE HOUR BEFORE CHURCH-I have in
my eye at present the hour before you 60 to
church OH the Sabbath forenoon. 1 am anX-
ious about it. The note struck then is likely
to give tone to your spirits all day. Redeem
it redeem it as much as you can from family
duties; redeem it wholly from ''plaiting of
hair and putting on of apparel;'' redeem it
wholly from vain conversation. How very
much the power of the minister's preaching
depends on the preparation of the hearers
heart! If you come up to church with your
mind crowded with trihes and puffed up with
vanity, what can ministers do? They can do
nothing but beat the air. What else can they
do, if there be nothing before them but air to
beat at 1t will make sound, and that is
all. l fear that many of my dear people spend
more time on the Sabbath morning in putting
wells on their faces than in taking the veil off
their hearts-more time in trying to make
themselves appear before men what they are
not, than in trying to make themselves appear
before God what they are.-Rer. W. Arnot.
