CHOW MICH Is THE ANTE p,

Black Run, as any map may fail to show,
is situated in Colorado mining district, and
the Baptist Church is presided over by an
able and athletic preacher. On the fourth
Sunday in February last collection was
taken up for the Franz Josef Land Mission,
and the plate was passed around by one of
the deacons. There was present miner
from Red Gulch, who was anxious as he
phrased it, to "put up" for the Franz Josef
heather, but who had no coin smaller than a
twenty dollar gold piece. When the plate
reached him, he inquired in low tone, "How
much is the ante? The deacon told him
that he could contribute whatever he chose.
"Then," replied the ingenious miner, "I'll
chip in dollar" and thereupon he put in
his twenty dollar gold piece, and undertook
to withdraw nineteen dollars. This the dea-
con objected to, on the ground that no change
was given at that establishment. A struggle
ensued, in the course Of which the plate was
upset, and the entire congregation rushed to
pick up the scattered money. Had it not
been for the presence of mind of the presid
ing minister, the entire amount already col.
lected would haze been absorbed by reckless
persons eager to Jump the deacon's clair"
as the local papers subsequently expressed it.
The minister, fortunately, happened to be an
old Californian who thoroughly understood
the true way of dealing with Colorado as
sembly. Drawing a heavy revolver and
leaning it on The edge of the pulpit, he de.
manded "Order," in stentorian voice. "The
BRETHREN" he remarked, "will please take
notice that I've got the drop on them, and any
brother who declines to 60 to his seat, or
who touches any of that money, will have
funeral at his house tomorrow at 2 o'clock
P. NJ. Our mining friend from Fed Gulch
will please let 60 the deacon's's necktie, or he
is dead man." This address, together with
the ministers known reputation as a pistol
shot, instantly restored order, and the deacon
picking up the scattered money, including the
twenty dollar gold piece, resumed the collec-
ton, and the service proceeded without fur.

LOOK FOR HER.-The true girl has to
be sought for She does not parade herself to
show goods. She is not fashionable. Gener-
ally she is not rich, but oh what heart
she has when you find her, so large and pure
and wor,anly. When you see it you wonder
if those things outside were women. If you
can gain her love your two thousand are
millions. She'll not ask for carriage or
first class house She'll wear simple dresses
and turn them if necessary, with no vulgar
magni6cial to frown upon her economy.
She'll keep everything neat and nice in your
sky parlor, and will give you such welcome
when you come home that you'll think your
parlor higher than ever. She'll entertain
true friends on a dollar, and astonish you
with the new thought of how little happiness
depends on money. She'll make you love
home (if you don't you are brute) and teach
you how to pity while you scorn poor fash
ionable girl.

The VALUE OF SUNLIeHT.-Whether your
home be large or small, give it light There
is no house so likely to be unhealthy as dark
and gloomy house. In dark and gloomy
house, you can never see the dirt that pollutes
it. Dirt accumulates on dirt, and the mind
soon learns to apologize for this condition be,
cause gloom conceals it. Flowers will not
healthily bloom in dark house; and flowers
are, as rule, good indices. We put the How
ers in our windows that they may see the light:
Are not our children worth many flowers
Then, again, light is necessary in order that
the animal spirits may be kept refreshed and
invigorated. No one is truly happy who, in
waking hours, is in a gloomy house or room.
The gloom of the prison has ever been consid-
cred part of the punishment of the prison.
1t is so if the mind is saddened the whole
physical powers suffer, the heart beats languid-
ly, the blood flows slowly, the breathing is i'm
perfect, the oxidation of the blood is reduced,
and the conditions are laid for the development
of many wearisome and unnecessary constitu-
tional failures and sufferings. Once again,
light-sunlight I mean-is of itself useful to
health in direct manner. Sunlight favors
nutrition !; sunlight sustains, chemically or
physically, the healthy state of the blood.
Children and other persons living in darkened
places become bleached or pale and they have
none of the ruddy healthy bloom of those who
live in light.-Good Words.

CONDUCTED BY
REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
MAKE 1T RIGHT.

There are few persons who are not con-
scious of having wronged their fellow men.
They may dispute it, question it, or deny it,
but they know that it is true, nevertheless
The question then arises, what should be
done? There are many who know the wrong,
but will not admit it; there others still who
both know aud admit the wrong doing, but
who take no steps toward repairing the mis-
chief they have wrought, or undoing the
wrong they have done.
Strictly speaking, the wrong act done, can
never be undone, the wrong word said can
never be unsaid but no man who has been
guilty of wrong should rest satisfied until he
has done his utmost to make suitable repara.
ton.
If he has wronged his neighbor, pecunia-
riIy, let him make restitution, not in scrimp.
ed and scanty measure, but literally and
heartily and ungrudgingly. Let him restore
him promptly and openly recall. Let his
apologies be as distinct and hearty as his ac'
cusations have been. Let him in a manly
and Christian way, so far as in him lies, re.
move all occasions Of grief and grievance.
Let him see to it that the false impressions
that he has given be corrected, that the Sian
ders that he has uttered be recalled. Thus,
and thus only, can he win back the love he has
forfeited, and hope to receive the blessing OF
the Lord whom he has offended. Thousands
of Christians and many churches are suffer.
ing through neglecting to take such stumb-
ling blocks out of the way.
Men will do wrong will injure or misrep-
resent brother, and then while he is grieved
and stricken at heart, will endeavor to 60
right along as servants of God without cor
recting their misstatements or confessing their
wrong. Such circumstances frequently are
sufficient to account for the deadness and par
alysis that often overhang the church. Peo.
pie are grieved and driven away from the
communion of the saints and the fellowship
of those they love, in consequence of the
wrong.doings of leaders and managers who do
not confess their faults and rectify the wrongs
they have done.
Often such persons seem to think it easier
to send for a minister and "have revival,
than to confess their own faults and right the
wrongs of which they are guilty. But re:
vival of religion which comes in on top OF
old grudges, Misrepresentation, dishonesties,
and wrongs will never be effectual. The high
tide may float their craft for little while.
but when the food recedes, every rock, and
snag, and shoal that studs the channel will
reappear, and the sailing will be no better
than before.
A religion that is not founded upon right.
eousness is of very little use in this world,
and the men who think that special services,
protracted meetings, labor of evangelists, ear
nest prayers, and gospel hymns, will make
amends for wrong, and robbery, and slander,
and abuse will probably find out their mis-
take before the day of Judgment comes, but
if they do not, they will certainly find it out
then. Boston Christian.

MY BIRTHDAY.

NV birthday "How many years ago?
Twenty or thirty ?" Don't ask me!
'Forty or fifty?" How can tell?
do not remember my birth, you see!
It is hearsay evldence-nothing more!
Once on a time the legends say,
A girl was born and that girl was 7.
How can vouch for the truth, pray2
know I am here: but when 7 came
Let some one wiser than I am tell!
Do you think this flower you plucked for me
Knew when its bud began to swell?
How old am II You ought to know
Without any telling of mine, my dear!
For when I came to this happy earth
Were you not waiting for me here?
A dark eyed boy on the northern hills,
Chasing the hours with flying feet,
Did you not know our wife was born,
BY subtle presence, faint yet sweet?
Did never breath from the southland come,
With sunshine laden, and rare perfume,
To lift your hair with soft caress,
And waken your heart to richer bloom?
Not one2 o mystery strange as life!
To think that we who are now so dear
Were once in our dreams so far apart,
Nor cared if the other were far or near.
But-how old am +? You must tell,
Just as old as I seem to you!
Nor shall day older be
While life renlaineth and love is true.

A FULL CUP.-When the saint Payson
was dying, he exclaimed, 81 long to hand q
full cup of happiness to every human being"
This was the language of heart thoroughly
purged of all selfish affections, and filled
with the spirit of that love which led our
adorable Jesus to give his life for human re-
demption. If every Christian would 60 out
daily among men, filled with such longings
for human happiness what marvellous changes
would soon be wrought in human society !!
The selfish element would be eliminated from
the dealings of the Christian business man.
Not justice merely, but benevolence would
enter into his every act of trade. The same
spirit would rule his home and church life
He would become an incarnation of good
will toward all, and would so preach the gos
pei by his deeds that man would see his good
works and glorify his Heavenly Father. The
spirit of Payson is worthy Of every mans
imitation. Happy is he who can truthfully
say, 81 long to hand full cup Of happiness
to every human being."-Zions Herald.

bg- A witness in case at Nashville was
asked whether he had much experience in
and knew the cost of feeding cattle, and to
give his estimate of the cost Of feeding cow,
to which he replied: "My father before me
kept dairy. 1 have had a great deal Of
experience in buying and selling and keep
ing cattle, as man and boy, N the dairy busi-
ness, for forty years. thin my long expe-
rience has qualified me to know as we'll as
any man can the cost of keeping and feeding
cattle" "Well, broke in the attorney, impa-
tiently, tell me the cost of keeping cow"
"Well, sir, my experience, after forty years in
the business, is that it costs-well it depends
entirely on how much you feed the cow"

w The only true or lasting attractiveness
of religion must be its own transforming
heavenly power where this is manifested in
a meeting of people, souls will flock as
doves to their windows, and there will no
longer be complaints leading to the adoption
of superficial human attractions in the vain
attempt to supply the felt lack of Gods
presence by designs of our own.

@ A farmer writing to an exchange says: !:
Il had a horse some years ago that had very
large wart on his side, where the harness
rubbed i and kept it sore. In the summer the
flies made it worse. To prevent this l put on
good daub Of tar, and in few weeks the
wart disappeared. I have frequently tried 1t
since on cattle and horses and seldom had oc-
casion to use second application. The reme-
DIV is simple and effectual."

Sag The other evening an old gentleman
advanced the proposition that never, in the
course of his long life had he seen a woman
that was not charming. "Oh i! really now"
said lady whose nose was of the purest
Ukraine breed, "don't you think I'm ugly?"
"Not at all, madame" replied the gallant
old gentleman. "You are an angel, fresh
fallen from Heaven; only you fell on your
nose !"

USE OF SALT.-In many cases of disordered
stomach, a teaspoonful of salt is a certain cure.
In the violent internal aching, termed collie,
add teaspoonful of salt to a pint of cold
water, drink it and 60 to bed it is one of the
speediest and best remedies known. The same
will revive a person who seems almost dead
from receiving fab, 'etc. In an apoplectic
fit, no time should be lost in pouring down salt
water, if sufficient sensibility remains to allow
of swallowing if not, the head must be
sponged with cold water until the senses re-
turn, when salt will completely restore the pa
tient from his lethargy. In fit, the feet
should be placed in warm water with mustard
added, and the legs briskly rubbed, all banda
ges removed from the neck, and cool apart
ment procured if possible. In many cases of
bleeding at the lungs when other remedies fail,
two teaspoonfuls Of salt completely stays the
blood. In the case Of a bite from mad dog
wash the place with strong brine for an hour,
then bind on some salt with a rag In tooth
ache, warm salt and water held to the part,
and renewed two or three times, will relieve in
most cases. If the teeth be covered with tar
tar, wash twice day with salt and water. In
swelled neck, wash the place with brine, and
drink twice day until cured. Salt will expel
worms, if used in food in moderate degree,
and aid digestion, but salt meat is injurious if
used much.

SALT FOR ANIMALS. Many farmers are
very stingy in the matter Of supplying animals
with salt. They seem to think that the money
invested in salt for animals is virtually thrown
away, and they study how to avoid this loss as
far as possible. Occasionally farmer will
find that some sheep will live six months with
out eating salt, and he loses no time in making
his discovery known to the world. A large
proportion of farmers furnish salt to their an
imals but once a week. On these occasions
they eat so much Of it that they feel uncom-
Portable during the following day. Stock of
all kinds should have salt constantly within
their reach, whether they are in the yard or
pasture It is very easy to keep supply of
salt in an open box, in a shed, where cattle
can have free access to it. 1t requires but
little ingenuity to erect salt box in pasture
so that its contents will not be wasted. All
that is required is a hanging roof, that can be
removed by the heads of the cattle and sheep.
When cattle have supply of salt always with
in their reach they will never eat so much as
to render them uncomfortable. Salt is not
luxury but necessity; and it should be sup
piled without stint. Animals know better
than their owners do how often they require
salt. Any stock owner would object to being
allowed to taste salt but once week.

horse appreciates comfortable fitting harness
as much as he does aproperly fitting shoe. The
latter, when set too tight, Or with nail driven
into, or too near the sensitive tissues, produces
positive lameness. Under this condition Of
things he should be promptly taken to the shop
for relief But he may suffer nearly or quite as

or narrow belly.band, drawn too tight; or
from check-rein shortened up so as to form

Either of these conditions will produce rest.
