CHARITY.

Charity and love mean the same thing.
Love is the fulfilling of the law. We are COM
manded to love God supremely, and our neigh
Dor as ourselves. Every human being is our
neighbor consequently, we are commanded to
love all men. God requires this, and our hap
piness depends upon our obeying the COM
mand.
1t is not demanded that we love all mems
acts, nor all the acts of any man; but, still, we
must love all men although we may hate their
acts, because they are hateful. 1t is this and
the glory of God that prompts the missionary
of the Cross to 60 to distant lands and spend
his life among savages. Love prompted God
to give his son to die for sin in the room and
stead of sinners. What a happy world this
would be if we all would only treat others as
we desire others to treat us. How much it
would add to our comfort if we would only
view the faults and failures of others, as we
desire them to view ours. We take vampire
into our bosom when we magnify the faults of
our neighbors and ignore our own. We bum
up our own blood, when we feed the flames Of
hatred and malice No man ever was made
happy by hating his neighbors.

LINES TO THE FIRST FLY.

AAi>AS ~ Il ANS
Dance on my nose with your tickling feet,
Blue bottle fly!
Sing in my ears with your buzz to greet
Me, as lie.
You will seek me out in my dark retreat,
With an eager zeal that no scream can beat,
And try to slap you clear into the sweet,
Sweet by-and-bye.
haven't seen you since last year, late,
Little house fly;
And I see you now with the bitterest hate
You can defy.
Oh how hate you, nobody knows,
Author of half of my summer woes,
Oh, how prayed that you might be froze,
Villainous fly.
All through the winter you did not freeze,
Not much, Mary Ann!
Now all the summer you'll do as you please,
That is your plan.
When, in the warm afternoons, we would sleep
Near us your wakefulest vigils you'll keep;
Precious is sleeping, but waking is cheap,
Sleep man, if you can.
Oh, how I wish that my two broad hands,
Spread left and right,
Stretched from the poles to Equators bands,
Giants of might.
Some summer day in my wrath I would rise,
Sweeping all space with my hands Of size,
And smash all the uncounted millions of flies
Clear out of sight.
Vain are my wishes, oh, little house fly,
You're hard to smash;
Strong men may swear and women may cry,
STeething their gnash;
But into the house your friends you'll lug,
You'll bathe your feet in the syrup Jug,
And your cares you'll drown in the baby's mug
Cheeky and brash.
Still, precious lessons, dear little house fly,
You teach to me:
Hated or loved, you tell me that I
Happy may be.
Why should care, when l tickle nose,
Whether it's owners conduct shows
That he likes it or hates it, just so it goes
Pleasant to me!

PAINFuL.

It is painful for mother to stand over the
tiny form of her tender infant, and see it sink
into the arms of death. It is painful for a
father to see the manly form of son wasting
away with disease. 1t is painful for parents to
convey the lifeless bodies of their children to
the graveyard, and deposit them in the earth,
there to become the food of worms. All these
things are painful. They cause the bosom to
heave, and the eyes to melt into flood of
tears. But there are some things so painful
that they crush the heart and dry up the foun-
tain of tears.
DEATH however mild may be it's form, is a
great evil; but there are evils so great that
death may be regarded as pleasure in COM
parison with them. Death is nothing when
placed side by side with disgrace. Death pro-
duces a sore which time will cure-a pain
which will soon be forgotten; but time cannot
cure disgrace.

a. A fruit-grower has discovered, if rabbits
have access to limbs lying upon the ground,
they will never attack the erect stems Of the
trees, probably because they can the more
readily bark those in a horizontal position.
After having made this discovery, says the
gentleman, we continued to prune in different
parts of the orchard throughout the winter,
leaving the limbs lying upon the ground for
their accommodation. Since adopting this plan
we have never had another tree barked by
rabbit, although the limbs on the ground
would be literally denuded Of bark and all
the small twigs eaten off.

WET BOOTS. A friend writes from Europe:
When the boots are taken off, fill them quite
full of dry oats. The grain has a great fond
ness for damp, and will rapidly absorb the last
vestige of it from the wet leather, Asit takes
up the moisture it swells and fills the boot with
a tightly fitting last, keeping its form good and
drying the leather without hardening it. In
the morning, shake out the oats and hang them
in bag near the fire to dry, ready for the next
wet night,

mS Ink freshly spilled upon the carpet should
Mt once be taken up with a soft paper or

american Awicultmist, care being taken not
to spread the spot. After all is taken up that
can be, wet the sponge-after first washing it
clean-in warm water, and thoroughly scrub
the spot on the carpet. When no more can he
washed out, wet the spot with a weak solution
of oxalic acid, and, after few minutes, wash
off with cold water, and finally sponge with
weak ammonia water to neutralize any of the
acid that may remain in the carpet.

BLEEDING AT THE NosE.-The best reme-
dy for bleeding at the nose is in the vigorous
motion of the jaw, as if in the act Of mastica-

be instructed to chew it hard. 1t is the mo-
ton of the Jaw that stops the flow Of blood.

RING ON Cows HoRNs.-The first ring ap
pears when the bovine is two years of age, and
sometimes before. The ring gradually increas-

at three years; the second ring appears during
the fourth year, is complete at the end of the
fifth year; after that one additional ring is
formed each year. A cow with three rings is
