SATAN.-If the personality of Satan be
not vital principal of your religion, do
not know what is. There is only one dog
ma higher. You think it is safe, and
dare say it is fashionable, to fall into this
lax and really thoughtless discrimination
between what is said and what is not to be
believed. 1t is not good taste to believe in
in the devil. Give me single argu-
ment against his personality which is
not applicable to the personality of the
Deity. Will you give that up; and if so
where are your Now mark me. you and I
are young men-you are very young
man. This is the year of grace 1885, If
these loose thoughts, which you have
heedlessly taken up, prevail in this coun-
try for generation or Solve and twenty
or thirty years-We may meet together
again, and | shall have to convince you
that there is God.-Endynson, Earl of
Be0consfeld.

PRINGLES FLAT.

"You will have beautiful day, my
DEAR" said Mrs. Hope, as she looked ad-
miringly first at her son Dick, who was
driving up to the door in his new buggy,
and then at her daughter-1n-law, Mary
Hope, whose honey moon was at its full.
II am so glad!' said the young wife,
| "What lovely weather we have had ever
since came here not at all like what
some of my friends predicted when they
said we ought to spend our honeymoon in
the East"
| Dick Hope at that moment sprang out
of his buggy lightly, and CALAMITY extend
ed his hand to his wife.
"Nonsense" exclaimed Mary Hope. II
am not such helpless creature that I
can't getin myself" and she stepped light
ly into the buggy, with merry laugh.
Mrs. Hope the elder gave an approving
nod: ''It's Just as we'll to let Dick know
you can help yourself. These Western
men"
"Need managing like other men, inter-
rupted her daughter-in-law, with another
laugh.
Old Mr.. Hope, coming down from the
stables at that moment, eyed the horse,
buggy and harness, (Dick had expended
seven hundred dollars on that turn-out)
then stood patting the horses neck kind
| ly. He was an admirer of fine horses, and
his judgment was sought far and wide on
all points of horse flesh: t''There's fine
mettle here, Dick.'
81 know it. said Dick, proudly.
''Cheap at four bundred,' said Mr..
Hope. ''Have you tried her YETI"
II think she's good for two-twenty-one
without much Of an effort"
."Why, isn't that fast horse, Dick9"
asked his wife, whose curiosity was arous-
ed.

Doetrn,

At Forty.
The sun of life has crossed the line,
The summer shine Of heightened light
Faded and tailed-till where stand,
IT'S equal day and equal night.
One after one, as dwindling hours,
Youths glowing hopes have dropped away,
And soon may barely leave the CLEAN
That coldly scores winters day,
am not young, am not old;
The flush of morn, the sunset calm,
PaIing and deepening, each to each,
Meet midway with a solemn charm.
One side see the summer fields.
Not yet disrobed of all their green;
While westerly, along the hills,
Flame the first tints of frosty-sheen.
All! middle point, where clouds and storm
Make battle-ground of this my life!
Where even matched, the night and day
Wage round me their September strife!
bow me to the threatening gale;
know, when that is overpast,
Among the peaceful harvest days,
An Indian summer comes at last.

The Little Shoe.
Laughing and humming an idle air,
threw the drawers contents aside,
Tfifles of old days I scattered there
And papers in haste united.
Struck, as it were, by a random shot,
felt an old wound bleed anew;
Carelessly seeking know not what,
came ON a little shoe.
Memory flashed on me; sadly sweet
Rang out the merry laugh Of yore;
Echoed the beat of those tiny feet
That battered along the floor.
Chubby round face, so demure and wise
Shone out with brow so angel fair;
Dreamy reflection of hare-bell eyes,
And halo of golden hair.
Pet names, and jokes Of her infant play,
Struck on the heart with sudden blow
Life in the morn of one dreadful day,
And death ere the sun was low!
Poor little relict! brief hour of sport!
What shame to me, if tears will fall?
Springtime of babyhood, oh, how short,
This poor little shoe-how small!

MUTTON CHEAPER THAN PoRK.-The
cheapest meat for the farmer is mutton.
1t may safely be said to cost nothing, as
the fleece from a sheep of good breed
will pay for its keeping. Then for addi-
sional profit, there is lamb or two, the
pelt of the animal, if killed at home, the
excellent manure from its droppings, and
the radiance of the pasture from weeds,
to which sheep are destructive foes. With
the exception of poultry, mutton is also
the most convenient meat for the farmer.
A sheep is easily killed and dressed by
single hand in an hour, and in the warm
est weather it can be readily disposed of
before it spoils. Science and experience
both declare it the healthiest kind of
meat.

HOMEMADE CONFERENCE.-THE Choose
firm unbleached sheeting and be sure that
the work is done before the cloth is wet
The easiest way, no doubt would be to
have a design stamped on it, but as this is
not always convenient, the next best thing
is to lay it out with a lead pencil. Find
the centre and mark small circle with
large one outside of it. Dive into halves,
quarters, eighths, sixteenths, and so on
Fill up the balance Of the space with geo.
metrical designs, using pans, plates, or
anything as guides that ingenuity may
suggest. After the tracing is complete,
the work is to be done with candlewick or
cotton yarn. Get large needle with
good eye, 1.-THE bigger the needle the better
the tuft will be.) Fill it as full as it will
carry, then double together and trace the
design, catching up few threads and
skipping nearly an inch. Make the stitch
es and spaces as accurate as possible. and
take thee or four stitches on the needle
before pulling through. Cut off the yarn
without fastening. When the design is
complete, clip the threads exactly in the
middle of each space and the ends flying
together will form tuft. When finished
wash the spread; the shrinking will hold
the yarn in place, and draw the tufts into
shape so as to bring out the design more
distinctly.

FEEDING YOUNG CHICKs.-Give the
young chickens weekly feed of chopped
onions. It helps to keep them healthy. A
medium-sized onion minced very fine is
enough for brood. If you have been en-
terprising enough to get early chickens.
don't let them die for want of little ex-
ira care. Give them one feed daily of rice
and another of cat meal. You can get
cheap qualities of both. Let the other
meals by any sort of kitchen scraps, occa-
sionly little cracked corn. Twice week
give some raw meat, but very small. At
the first sign of the gapes, treat the patient
to small bread pill thickly coated with
red pepper or a small lump of camphor. 1t
may be necessary to repeat the dose. We
have never known second dose to fail of
effecting sure cure.

HEALING OF WOUNDS IN HORSES OR
CoWs.-To produce healing of wound in
a horse or cow, some stimulant is nearly
always required. This may be common
spirits of turpentine or the compound
tincture of benzoin or that of myrrh and
aloes. Either Of these may be applied
with feather once day, Or if the wound
is deep, the stimulant should be injected
to the bottom with common squirt can,
or syringe. Wounds should always heal
from the bottom and to secure this the
opening should be kept free, by means of
plug of lint dipped in the stimulant used.
Lint may be made by scraping piece of
linen cloth, such as a towel, with a knife
and collecting the loose fibres. Linen only
should be used, and never cotton or wool
for this purpose. If pus is enclosed in a
wound and the opening is permitted to
close, an abcess will be formed, or the pus
will be absorbed, with some future ill eff
feet. In the case of deep, punctured
wounds, careful search should be made for
the possible presence of splinters or other
foreign bodies, and to enlarge the opening
will often facilitate the search or assist in
the healing.-EG.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

REPAIRING RoADs.-Thorough repair
ing of roads can only be done at the prop
er seasons. 1t is worse than useless to
s'work'' On them in the winter or early
spring, time. in the mode SO frequently
adopted. Putting soft earth into holes
where water is standing, is merely increas-
ing the draft on teams in the ratio of the
thickness of mud compared with water
When deep holes or ruts exist, the water
standing in them must be drawn off, and
these holes, at the proper season, may then
be filled and levelled. Unfortunately,
overseers consult their own convenience,
and the convenience of the parties required
by law to work on the roads, rather than
the best time to work on roads with
view to the best results. Beyond the
draining off the water standing on the
road-bed, no work should be done on dirt
roads between October and May, except,
possibly, in bottoms or swamps, where
something besides dlrt is absolutely need
ed to bridge over quagmires. The best
time to do thorough work on ordinary
roads, is May or June, when the frost is
entlrely out OF the ground, and the sun
will quickly dry the surface, thus allowing
every passing vehicle to beat down the bed
more firmly. Unfortunately for the roads
this is a season when the demands of the
farm are too urgent to allow attention to
roads. When the crops are laid by-say in
July or August is the next best time;
but the work is often done in November,
when it is virtually thrown away, or worse
than thrown away. Overseers should be
fined as often for working at improper
times, and improper ways. as for not work.
ing at all. One simple matter is often
neglected-that is, having trees left on
the sunny side, preventing the drying out
of the road. One tree so left is often the
cause of a miserable mud hole, and that
one mud-hole often ruins a good team
