How to Have Company.

1t is not so hard to have little company
to tea or to spend the evening if one only
knows how to plan her work, and does not
attempt to crowd too much in one day. If
the cake is made the day before it will be
fresh enough, and if you are so unfortunate
as not to be entirely successful in making or
baking you will have time to remedy this
trouble by trying again. If salad is to be
part of the supper the chicken may be pre-
pared in the morning, and then late in the
afternoon the dressing may be prepared and
the salad mixed. When it is in the dish and
ready for the table wet clean cloth in vim
egar and lay over the top; this will keep
it moist, and it will not lose its flavor by
standing. If you are to have sandwiches
they may be buttered early and a damp
cloth laid over them. Have the dishes and
silver ready, and put in a convenient place
where you can get them with no delay or
trouble of counting. Silver may be rubbed
and tablecloth and napkins laid aside days
before. Above all, after having done these
things do not worry; think over all the
times you have been out to tea and you will
hardly be able to recall single time where
anything went very badly. Avoid confusion;
if any one is to help you, be she servant or
friend, let her distinctly understand what her
duty is to be, so that you will not interfere
with each other. A few experiments will
convince you of the good sense of these

HOusekeepers' Hints,

A correspondent sends us the following
awe recently saw an inquiry in widely
circulated paper for some method of keep
ing mince-meat in warm weather. Chop
the meat without apples, and season as
usual. Put it in nice kettle, with the
cider and syrup, sugar, or other sweetening,
and let it cook slowly for short time; then
dip it into glass fruit cans and seal up, the
same as fruit. 1t must be wet enough to
settle down close at once, or air will be in.
cluded. We have kept it, so prepared. a
whole year. 1t can also be kept in small
jars by melting some nice suet, and pouring
it over the top to exclude the air. If one
has syrup left of sweet pickles, it is very
nice for mince pies. ..... To cook cranber
ries, take one pint of fruit, one pint of water
and two pints Of sugar, and boil eight min
utes. Too much cooking spoils the flavor
Less sugar will do, if preferred. They should
not be strained at ALL"

Daily Prayer.

Fifteen minutes day devoted to real
self-examination and prayer will prevent an
honest man from going very far astray. The
regulation prayer, whether secret, family or
public, without self-examination, has little
restraining and no sustaining power. From
such prayers man can go forth TO commit
sin. After such prayers his heart will sink un-
der trial as though he had not prayed at all.
Wonder is sometimes expressed, and oftener
felt, when men supposed to be regular in
prayer fall into sin. Inquiry and observa-
tion, not seldom confirmed by their confes-
sions, often show that their prayers have
been mere parrot talk. 1t is not essential to
say certain things in a certain way at a
certain time, but it is essential to feel that
without special help from God we shall
surely sin this day, and to ask that help in
words born of need, desire and faith. Days
of special temptation should be days of spe-
cial prayer. Some think that no good
comes of prayer unless blessing is con-
sciously received at the time, and say, "
prayed, but it did no good felt the
same as before" This is an imperfect test
Do not pause when the prayer is ended to
see how you feel, but go at once to the bust
ness of the hour, expecting to be helped
therein and kept from sin. As we do not
feel the strength which our daily bread
supplies but as 1t is used, so when the day
is done, you will find that your prayer has
been answered.-Methodist Aduocate.

What to Enjoy.

1t is great thing to find out how much
there is to enjoy, to get some kind of a cat
alogue or inventory Of the blessings heaven
has sent you. Why, there isn't man in a
thousand that has any religious conception
of what God has given us to enjoy. All the
revelations Of science are helping us in that
direction. When we come TO see the beauty
and order and benefcence of the arrange
ments of the universe, we find that God has
been catering to our happiness in ways we
had overlooked. To live in world like
this, with so much beauty, with singing
birds and blooming flowers gilded by sun
shine, world in which God is painting cloud
pictures, lake pictures, landscape pictures,
and have no sense of enjoyment in them
what kind of soul is that ? 1t is a great
thing to find out what there is to enjoy.
Some people don't seem to have any idea
that they have anything to be grateful for.
They are perfectly blind to their mercies,
but wide awake to their miseries. They
rehearse these every time you meet them.
1t is just as easy to cultivate the acquaint-
ance of your mercies as your miseries, and
and it is great deal pleasanter for your
own enjoyment; just as it is great deal
pleasanter to be introduced to your friends
than to your enemies.-Reu. A. a. Willis.

Hampshire Agricultural College farm, in a
recent note to the secretary of the board Of
trustees, says: "The crops of the college
farm are now all in and all good. Have had
to store large quantity Of fodder on the
floor. The barn will not hold stock enough
to consume it. Grain barns have been quite
inadequate. Shall have to erect more build.

late MIR. Sanborn (says Brother Cheever Of
the Nev England Farmer, and we are happy
to concur with him) "on this favorable
showing of the results of his labors, and still
more to congratulate the trustees of the col

have been able to secure and to retain the
services, at the institution, of a gentleman
who is able to show so good practical exem-
plifcation Of his fitness for the position he

we doubt IL there is a country newspaper in
New England that could afford to allow us
TO tell the reasons of our faith in its col
umns. The high protective interest is strong
enough to kill any paper that should venture
TO allow the free trade side to appear in its
columns, even If there were any editors who
would themselves desire to allow it,
We do not hesitate to say that we
regard this state of things as great mis-
fortune. This intolerance of the protec-
tive interest, carried as it is to the ex~
tent of prohibiting free discussion, must
certainly have in turn, its reaction in this,
free country, and these reactions are always
extreme, violent and destructive. We have
studied the subject long, in books, and still
hold to the belief that we must continue for
many years moderate policy of protection
to home industry. But, on basis of prin-
ciple, there is much to be said in behalf of
the free trade doctrines. Its disciples ought
to have chance to say it. That the high
tariff inquisition will not allow this in New
England is its own affair. But if it does
not find, before many years, that its tyranny,
like all tyranny, hurts the tyrant worst of
all, then history cannot be what it has been

IndOlence.

1t is the worst enemy, says Bishop Hunt
ington, that the church has to encounter.
Men sleep around its altar. Life has no
significance, eternity no awfulness, enjoy
ment no obligations, bereavement no solem-
nifty, suffering no prophetic suggestions of a
hereafter, holiness no enrapturing beauty,
but they stretch on their beds Of ease and
sleep amid the most stirring revelations of
Providence. Where the church lives and
holds the truth of Christ, not as a mortuary
of buried benefactor, but as a present in
spiration, 1t never will suffer its members to
sit idly with folded hands, looking lazily
out on the white fields of harvest, where no
reaper's sickle rings against the wheat, but
will send them forth to work with an i'm
pulse that no disappointment can palsy, no
misgivings keep back.

I" Heme, Sweet HOme,v

In the spring of 1868 two great armies
were encamped on either side of the Rap
pahannock river, one dressed in blue, the
other in gray. As twilight fell the bands
on the Union side began to play d" The Star
Spangled Banner" and Rally Round the
Flag and that challenge of music was taken
up by those on the other side and they re-
sponded with "The Bonnie Blue Flag i"
and Away Down South in Dixie" 1t
was borne in upon the soul of a single SOL
dier in one of those bands of music to begin
a sweeter and more tender air, and slowly
as he played it, they joined in a sort Of
chorus Of all the instruments upon the Union
side, until finally great and mighty chorus
swelled up and down our army" Home,
Sweet Home" When they had finished
there was no challenge yonder, for every
band upon that further shore had taken up
the lovely air 80 attuned to all that is holiest
and dearest, and one great chorus Of the two
great hosts went up to God and when they
had finished, from the boys in gray came a
challenge, Three cheers for home |" and as
they went resounding through the skies
from both sides of the river, something
upon the soldiers cheeks washed off the
stains of POWDER"

Eating Just Before Sleeping.

The Journal of Commerce maintains that
it is more healthy to eat just before going
to bed than to retire with the stomach empty.
The lion roars in the forest until he has
found his prey, and when he has dsvoured
it he sleeps over until he needs another
meal. The horses will paw all night in the
stable, and the pigs will squeal in the pen,
refusing all rest or sleep until they are fed.
The animals that chew the cud have their
own provision for late meal Just before
dropping off TO their nightly slumbers.
Man can train himself to the habit of sleep
ing without preceding meal, but only after
long years of practice. As he comes into
the world nature is too strong for him, and
he must be fed before he will sleep. A
child's stomach is small, and when perfectly
filled, if no sickness disturbs it, sleep follows
naturally and inevitably. As digestion goes
on the stomach begins to empty. A single
fold in it will make the little sleeper restless,
two will waken it, and if it is hushed again
to repose, the nap is short, and three folds
put an end to the slumber. Paregoric or
other narcotic may close its eyes again, but
without either food or some stupefying drug
it will not sleep, no matter how healthy it
may be. We use the oft-quoted illustration
"sleeping as sweetly as an infant" because
this slumber OF the child follows lmmedi-
ately after its stomach is completely filled
with wholesome food. The sleep which
comes to adults long hours after partaking
of food, and when the stomach is nearly or
quite empty, is not after the type of infantile
repose There is all the difference in the
world between the sleep of refreshment and
the sleep of exhaustion. To sleep well the

greatly diminished volume behind the brow
that lately throbbed with such vehemence.
To digest well this blood is headed at the
stomach, and nearer the fountains Of life,
1t is fact established beyond the possibil-
ity Of contradiction that sleep aids digestion,
and that the process of digestion is condu-
Give to refreshing sleep. 1t needs no argu-
ment to convince us Of this mutual relation.
The drowsiness which always follows the
wellordered meal is itself testimony OF
nature to this interdependence.

Just the Difference.

Some men move through life as band of
music moves down street, fiinging out pleas
ure on every side through the air to every
one, far and near, that can listen. Some
men fill the air with their presence and
sweetness as orchards in October days fill
the air with perfume of ripe fruits. Some
women cling to their own houses like the
honeysuckle over the door, yet like it, sweeten
all the region with the subtle fragrance of
their goodness. There are trees of right
eousness which are ever dropping precious
fruit around them. There are lives that
shine like star-beams, or charm the heart
like songs sung upon a holy day. How
great bounty and blessing 1t is to hold
the royal gifts of the soul so that they shall
be music TO some and fragrance to others,
and life TO all II would be no unworthy
thing TO live for, to make the power which
we have within us the breath of other mems
10y; to scatter sunshine where only clouds
and shadows reign; to fill the atmosphere
where earth's weary toilers must stand with
brightness which they cannot create for
themselves, and which they long for, enjoy
and appreciate.

The Sunday Rest.

Here is the experience of Colonel II. w.
Payne, civil engineer, in regard to resting
upon the Sabbath "Some years since, be-
fore railroad was built or stage line estab-
lished across the plains, there was a large
emigration to California overland. The
necessary supplies were carried by horses,
mules and oxen, which obtained their sub
sistence from the grass that grew not too
plentifully along the route. Having passed
beyond the limits Of civilization, and having
left churches and religious institutions be-
hind, the restraints of the Sabbath were
soon forgotten by most, and all days were
alike employed in diligent march onward.
The company of which | was member,
however, halted for one or two Sabbaths
Stopping one Sunday near where several of
the routes converged one Of our company
counted one hundred ninety-seven teams
that passed during the day. The idea of
losing our advance position Qor we had
started early in the season), and week by
week getting farther behind, was not rel
ished. The best of the grass, II not all of
IL, would be used up by those ahead of us.
The absence of any religious services and
other reasons were adduoed against stop
ping, and those who were in favor of rest
ing were in the minority. But after the
days rest, on resuming our journey next
morning, we were not little surprised at
the rapid gait of our teams as compared
with those of other companies. In two days
we had oyertaken and passed more teams
than had passed Va on Sunday; and all the

The Vermont Phenir says: "One thuo-
sand three hundred forty dollars was paid
for horse racing, at the Vermont state fair.
Two prizes Of $3.50 each were paid for fast
trotting, with others ranging from $40 to
1925, amounting in all to the sum stated
above. The highest single premium paid
any exhibitor of fruits was 80. The highest
premium awarded for any legitimately agri-
cultural purpose was $50, or one-ffth as
much as was given for small fraction of a
minute saved in speed. For one fast horse
to make mile one-twentieth of minute
quicker than another is regarded as Of
fifty times more consequence than the cul-
ture of superior fruit if we may judge from
a comparison of awards-S3 for the best
fruit, $3.50 for the fastest horse"

81 Flee Unto Thee to Hide Me.v

You may have seen in our mountain glens,
in the gray twilight, birds winging their way
to their nests. There may be bowers and
gardens of fragrance and beauty close by,
groves inviting to sweetest melody, natures
consecrated haunts of song But they tempt
them not Their nests, their homes, are in
the distant rock, aud thither they speed
their wayl So with the soul. The perches
of this world will not satisfy it. There is
no stable rest in these for its weary wings
and wailing cry. 1t goes soaring up to home
and God. 1t has its nest in the crevices of
the Rock of Ages. (See Psalms cxliii 9)
When detained in the neither valley often is
the warbling note heard, go that had
wings like dove, for then would flee away
and be at rest" Aud when the flight had
been made from the perishable to the i'm
perishable, from the lower valleys of sense
to the hills of faith, from the creature to the
Creator, from man to God-as we see it
folding its buoyant pinion, and sinking into
the eternal clefts, we listen to the song" Re-
turn unto thy rest, o my oull"-Selected.
