FARM L1FE.-A writer in Scribner's Maya
zine asserts that the farmer, having the most
sane and natural occupation, ought to find
life pleasant. He alone, strictly speaking, has
a home How can 4 man take root and thrive
without land. He writes his history upon his
field How many ties, how many recourses
he has; his friendship with cattle, his team,
his dog, his trees; the satisfaction in his grow
ing crops, in his improved fields; his intimacy
with nature, with bird and beast, and with
the Quickening elemental forces his coop
erations with the clouds, sun, season, heat,
wind, rain and frost. Nothing will take the
various social distelopers which the city and
artificial life breed out of a man like farm
ing-like direct and loving contact with the
soil. 1t draws out the poison. 1t humbles
him, teaches him p; thence and reverence, and
restores the proper tone to his system. Cling
to the farm, make much of it, put yourself
into it, bestow your heart and your brain upon
it, so that it shall SAVIOR of you and radiate
your virtue after yonr days work is done.

CLEANING UP.-A few hours of work by
the farmer, his boys and hired help devoted to
cleaning up about the house, cellars and out
houses, will make everything, trim neat and
healthful. There is alwys plenty of time,
even at the busy season of plOwing and seed
ing, for this necessary and beautifying work.
This work is more important than most far
mers seem to think. 1t should be done even
at considerable cost of time. Our own plan is
to devote rainy days and odd hours which
often come to hand during the season to it.
One of the rainy days recently we gathered up
all the old brOomS about the place, and set all
the hands to sweeping down the dust and
cobwebs in the stables, and the next day OF
the same sort we find on our hands, we shall
give them coat of whitewaSh, in which a
little carboic acid has been mixed.
To CLEAN LooKING-GLAssEs.--T Il
newspaper, or part of one according to the
size of the glass. Fold it small and dip it into
basin of clean cold water when thoroughly
wet squeeze it out in your hand as you would
sponge, and then rub it hard all over the
face of the glass, taking care that it is not so
wet as to run down in streams. In fact, the
paper must only be completely moistened
or dampened all through After the glass has
been well rubbed with wet paper, let it rest
for few minutes and then 60 over it with
fresh, dry newspaper folded small in your
hand) till it looks clear and bright, which it
will almost Immediately, and with no further
trouble.
CHURNING.-A moments use of the ther-
mOmeter in the cream before churning is less
trying to the patience, to say nothing OF the
back and arms, than an hOnr's use Of the churn
to bring the temperature of the cream up to
sxty-three degrees. If the butter usually
comes quickly, sixty degrees above zero is
sufficiently high, but the cream from some
COWS needs to he brought up to sixty-tive de-
grees before churning. If the butter is in
clined to be soft, few dippersful of ice-cold
water should be poured into the churn as soon
as the butter globuleS are seen floating in the
cream.
COFFEE CUsTARD.-Mix one egg with l
teacup of ground coffee and pour over it one
pint of boiling water. Let it boil minutes,
then pour in / cup of cold water and set it
back on the range or stove for ~ minutes.
Strain it off into saucepan and add pint OF
cream. Beat five eggs and 1-2 cups of sugar
together pour the boiling mixture over the
eggs and sugar, stirring it well, set the whole
in boiling water and stir one aC0y until it be-
gins to thicken. Serve in cups to eat cold If
frozen it makes very delicious ice-cream.
SLEEP-Insuffcien sleep is probably the
most frequent cause of nervous failure; and
certainly, when the failure has come, sleep
opens the surest avenue to recovery. Then
indeed, too much sleep can hardly be taken !;
for as in infancy, the recuperative powers seem
to work only during complete sleep.

LEARNING TO SEw.-To be handy with
the needle, is one Of the sterling accomplish
ments of every educated woman. To be able
to take the ''stich in time," is worth all the
time and trouble that are required to learn
the art Like walking, reading, and the many
other things which we come to do without
special thought, the learning to sew is slow
process, and should be begun while the child
is still quite young. The girl should not only
have the use of the thread, needles, and patch
work, but be instructed how to take stitches,
turn corners, and do the various things con-
nected with needle-work. We are excluding
the boys in our remarks, because they need
to learn to thread a needle, and do general
sewing Men are many times so situated,
that they must depend upon themselves for
their necessary sewing. Even if it is in an
age of sewing machines, it is best that all
children should learn to use the simple, COM
mon old-fashioned Kind, which can never be
wholly superseded. The amusement and Occu-
patton that sewing furnishes little folks, afford
sufficient reason why all mothers should see
that their girls, and boys too, learn to sew
but the very practical use of the needle in af-
ter life, is the principal thing after all.

DWELLING IN GoD.-We may dwell in God
in the midst of the busiest scenes of life. A
gentleman returning from Wall street a few
evenings ago, said, ''This has been very hur-
ried day. 1 have been pushing and rushing
with the rest of them at thetxchange; but
how can express the sweetness of my fellow
ship with Christ in the midst of it all ? Look
ing up once out of the excited crowd, my eye
caught sight of Trinity Church spire, with its
golden cross resting against the sky. 1t sug-
gested such peaceful thoughts, such vivid I'M
pressions of the eyer-present, everything Lord
of all the earth, that my spirit never lost the
blessed influence throughout all the busy day."
Happy thought! The blessedness of dwell
ing in God is not given alone to those who can
shut themselves apart from men in restful Sc
clusicn it may be enjoyed as well by the hon
est workman at his trade, the busy merchant
at his desk, the hurried mother in her house
hold cares, when we can say with the Psalm
list, ''In the multitude of my thoughts within
me, thy comforts delight my SOUL"

DEPENDENCE OF HEALTH UPON CIRcULA-
rIoS.-Perfect health depends upon perfect
circulation. Every living thing that has the
latter has the former. Put your hand under
your dress upon your body. Now place it
upon your arm. If you find the body over 80
degrees, and your arm under go degrees, you
have lost the equilibrium. The head has too
much blood producing headache ; or the chest
too much, producing coug n, rapid breathing,
pain in the side, or palpitaton of the heart; !;
or the stomach too much, producing indiges-
ton. Any or all of these difficulties are tenn
porarily relieved by the immersion of the
hands or feet in hot water and permanently
relieved by such dress and exercise of the ex-
tremities as will make the derivation perma-
nent.

THE TRUE L1FE.-It has been a matter Of
complaint, once and again, that some of those
who were Jealous for these ''higher doctrines, !"
as they have been called, were not so careful
to "maintain good works." nor so attentive to
the ''minor morals'' of Christianity as might
have been expected not so large-hearted, not
50 open-h handed, nor so generous, nor so hum
bic as many whose light was DINNER; also that
they were supercilious, inclined to despise 9TH
ers as dark and ill-instructed given to display
their consciousness of spiritual superiority in
ungentle ways and words.
This will not do. Certainly one who is
''rsen with Christ" ought to be like the Risen
One. He will be expected to be meek and
lowly, gentle and loving, simple and frank,
kind and obliging, liberal and generous, not
easily provoked or affronted transparent and
honest, not selfish, not unwilling to be taught.
ga LONG BRIDGE."- ."-Mr. Spurgeon said re-
cently-yOu can almost hear his clarion voice
proclaiming it to his 5000 assemblage: "Make
the bridge from the cradle to manhood just as
long as you can. Let your child be a child,
and not little ape of a man running about
the town." Good advice.

HOME Enthusiastically nineteen
twentieths Of the happiness you will ever have,
you will get at home. Some of you will get
delight in the church but happiness you will
only get at home. The independence that
comes to a man when his work is over, and
he feels he has run out Of the storm into the
quiet harhor of home where he can rest in
peace with his family, is something real. 1t
does not make much difference whether you
have one little room in that house, you can
make that little room true home to you.
You can people it with such moods, you can
turn to it with such sweet fancies, that it will
be fairly luminous with their presence, and
will be to you the very perfection of a home.
Against this home none of you should ever
transgress. You should always treat each
other with courtsey. 1t is often not so diff
cult to love person as it is to be courteous
to them. Courtesy is of greater value and a
more royal grace than some people seem to
think. If you will but be courteous to each
other you will soon learn to love each other
more wisely, profoundly, not to say lastingly,
than you ever did before.

BosToN Advertiser: The result of the
city and town elections in Maine has been
very significant. Last year the first elections
resulted in no choice in several cities. Au-
gusta chose an Independent, Portland a
Democrat, and Biddeford was, as usual,
Democratic. This year the Republicans
have made clean sweep of every city ex-
cept Ellsworth, and in no instance has there
been any necessity for a second election. In
the towns the results have been equally sat-
isfactory. Among those which were reported
yesterday there was not one heretofore Re-
publican which has been lost, but some
which were carried by the Fusionists, both
at the Spring and Autumn elections last
year, have now elected Republican officers.
1t is an interesting fact that local quarrels
have sprung up between the Democrats and
Greenbackers. Although the Republicans
can now easily defeat both parties combined
it is pleasant to see the rogues fall out and
denounce each other. The desire for spoils
united them, and now that neither by fair
means nor foul, having tried both, can they
gain their object, the inevitable disintegra-
ton has begun, and win proceed apidly.

How Mark Twain Was Swindled.

In a recent interview Mr.. Redpath tells the
following story of Mark Twain: I think it
was Marks second year of lecturing in the
East, and my lyceum did his business. He
told me one day that he was going to get mar
ried, and he wanted me to go with him and
buy what you would have called ''trousseau"
if he had been woman. He bought enough
for century or two; he comes from long
lived race, and he had an eye to the future.
He was not worth more than 600 or S25, 600
at that time, l guess He has made since over
100000 by his books and lectures and interests
in insurance companies at Hartford, where he
lives. He went and got married at Elmira,
where his father-in-law lived. The latter was
millionaire, one Of the coal-mining lords; but
he was not an ordinary scrub of millionaire,
he was man of rare nobility of character,
and a generous benefactor of the anti-slavery
movement. He was an earnest abolitionist all
his life. Mark had asked his friends in the ed
itoria office to select him a first-class suite of
rooms in a fashionable boarding-house, and to
have carriage ready to take his bride aud
himself there when they came back to Buffalo
He knew they would do it, and gave himself
no more anxiety about it. When he reached
Buffalo he found the boys, sure enough, at the
depot, with the hnest carriage and span of
horses he had ever seen in that city. They
drove him up to handsome house in an aristo-
cratic street, and as the door was opened, there
were the parents of the bride to welcome him
home AS the story was told to mel didn't
get it from Mark-the brides folks had come
up, without his knowledge, by special train.
Mark went from room to room and found ev-
cry room furnished exquisitely-some in blue
and some in yellow silks-the furniture and
upholstery Of the most luxurious and expensive
STYLES. Then he was informed officially that
he had been driven up by his own coachman
in his own carriage to his own house. They
say tears came to Marks eyes, although his
wonderfully bright eyes-the keenest and
clearest and most penetrating eyes 1 ever saw
III any mans head, aren't given to weeping as
as regular business He could not find words
to express his sentiments" so he only "rose
to explain"
'.,Well, this is frst-class swindle!" he
stammered.
