PROVIDENCE AND WoRK.-It is blessed
thing to trust in the good providence of God,
but those who trust the most implicitly, also
work the most faithfully. God giveth the
increase but Paul must not leave off plant
ing, nor Apollos watering, on that account !;
they can do all this, and then have plenty
to trust in God for.
The man who trusts in God to do what the
Lord has told him to do himself will find that
there is some Misunderstanding about matters
somewhere Faith and works should ever 60
together, and be who does his best is quite as
trustful as he who is less faithful over the
few things committed to him.
sar Paul did not stop preaching because all
of his converts did not hold out. Many Of
the converts even of Jesus went back, "and
went no more with him." If a man tumbles
into the river, are We to refuse to rescue him
because he may fall in again?

WAX IN THE EAR-This is regularly Sc
creted, to protect the delicate mechanism
from dust and insects. and to keep it supple.
Itshould not ordinarily, be cleaned out A
healthy ear takes care of itself.
But certain diseased conditions of the in
ternal ear cause the wax to harden and &C
cumulate, giving rise to serious brain symp.
toms. Among these are noises in the ear,
which sometimes become converted Into
seemingly real voices, and lead to hallucina-
tions and temptations to suicide. A skilled
physician can remove the hardened wax
and he alone can determine its existence.
Untaught children sometimes put into their
ears beans, and other small bodies, around
which the wax gathers and hardens. A lit
tie boy pushed beans into both ears. One
was removed, but the other remained, the
parents not being aware that there were two.
During the young mans college course, brain
disease developed, and he was forced to aban-
don his studies and betake himselfto farming.
Subsequently the bean, surrounded with wax,
was removed, and the symptoms in the main
disappeared, but the mans prospects for life
were ruined.
A lawyer, ffy-four years of age, was
forced to abandon his profession, as it was
impossible to hear either the judge or the wit.
nesses He was, at length however, able to
return to it, after the real cause of the diff
Guilty was removed with warm water injec-
tions.

RArTLEsNAKEs AS M1ss1oNARIEs.--In
1850 there lived in the southern part of Mis-
souri,, family by the name of Weaver-very
hard characteristic old man, his wife and
FIVE grownup boys During the spring John
Weaver was bitten by rattlesnake. Every
thing was resorted to for his relief but all to
no avail. When they saw that he must die
they sent for an old baptist preacher to pray
for him. He prayed as follows: "We thank
thee, Almighty God, for thy watchful care
over US. and for thy goodness and tender mer-
cy, and especially do we thank thee for rattle
snakes. Thou hast sent one to bite John
Weaver. We pray thee to send one to bite
Jim, one to bite Henry, one to bite Sam, one
to bite Joe, and we pray thee to send the big
gest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old man,
for nothing but rattlesnakes will ever bring
the Weaver family to repentance. There are
others in Missouri just as bad as the Weavers.
We pray thee to stir up Missouri, and, if moth
ing else will bring the people to repentance,
we pray thee to shower down more rattle
snakes. Amen."-& Louis Globe.

How TO CURE A CoLD.-On the first day
of taking cold there is very unpleasant SEN
sation of chilliness. The moment you observe
this go to your room and stay there; keep it
at such temperament as will entirely, pre-
vent this chilly feeling, even if it requires a
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. In addition,
put your feet in water half leg deep, as hot
as you can bear it, adding hot water from
time to time for quarter Of an hour, so that
the water shall be hotter when you take your
feet out than when you put them in; then
dry them thoroughly and put on warm, thick
stockings, even if it be summer, for summer
colds are the most dangerous and for twenty
four hours eat not an atom of food, but drink
as largely as you desire of any kind of warm
teas, and at the end of that time if not sooner,
the cold will be efectually broken without
any medicine whatever.

IDoLATRY OF FoRMs.--It is an astonish-
ment to note the extent to which idolatry Of
forms is carried in most branches of the Chris
tian church, while in some it seems to be the
sole motive power of the body. AS though
God himself were very much concerned to
maintain certain bodily exercise or round of
ceremonial observances. Even when a cere-
monial law existed. God often expostulated
with His people, by the prophets "To what
purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices {?
I am full of the incense of burnt offerings,
and the fat of fed beasts" Do ye think that
these are the things I seek as an end? Will
God be pleased with rivers Of oil ? or does he
ask US to offer the fruit or vexations of the
body for the sin of the soul? Nay, what
doth the Lord really require? What did he
ever require, but to deal justly, love mercy,
and to walk humbly with God, and in love
toward MANI All else are but means to that
end. God values not the means but the end.
He seeks not the ceremony but the soul.-

Young Jeffcote, eighteen years of age,
of Troy. Ala, had the breech pin OF his

piece was overcharged.
B. Pabeston, a sixteen-year old boy, of

carelessly during cunning trip, caught
the hammer in his clothes and was

While Julius Mollier, a barber Of

Too Much Itpht.

Moore, the poet, once showed his
knowledge of human nature by saying
that though he should have his hand
full of truths, he would open only one
finger at n time. The people may be,
as Gray says Milton was. "blasted with
excess of light" so as to close their eyes
10 the merits of the light-bearer. An
amusing illustration of the effect of ex-
ctssive light upon the fortunes of can
didate once occurred in Indiana.
About the time that Stephenson had
demonstrated in England the merits oi
railroads, congressional election oc-
CURED in Indiana. Judge Tesh, one OF
the abest men in the State, was a can
didate for reelection. His vision ranged
far beyond that of the people. and he
saw much more than they. His error
was in telling them al he saw. In one
of his speeches on the stump" the
judge neutrality-suspicious., about which
his hearers knew nothing and cared
less.
Il tell you, fellow-citizens. he said
at the top of his voice, "that in Eng
land they run the cars thirty miles an
hour, and they vii, be run at a higher
speed in America"
A loud, scorniul laugh from the
crowd greeted this prophecy. "You
are crazy, judge" bawled out an old
man, cor you think we are fools. A
man couldn't live q moment at that
speed.m
The Judge ruined his chances of re-
election By that railroad speech. His
competitor was chosen BY a large ma
jority. Hoath's Oompuntea.
