SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN
BARNs.-An exchange says: 1.-THE
annual recurrence of numerous
barn burnings Immediately after
harvest, and at the time when such
disaster entails the greatest loss
on the farmer, rise anew to the
discussion of the various theories
OF Spontaneous combustion 1t
is very widely held among farm
ers, and just as earnestly denied
by many of them, that damp oats
or hay will give out degree of
heat that will cause a confagra-
ton, and piece of iron or a steel
fork left in the body of the grain
will intensity the danger. 1t is
mooted question of great interest
that can easily be settled by scien-
tific investigation. and to which
our Agricultural Societies should
give their attention. The farm
ers want illumination on the sub
ject of a different sort from that
which is afforded by their blazing
barns.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.


/. II is Gods way to anticipate the
difficulties of his servants. Before Moses
had uttered his plea of weakness and
insufliciency, Aaron was already on his
way to be his helper.
.. In work for God, two are often
better than one. Companionship il
strength. Few feelings are 80 deprcss.
ing as the sense of isolation. Especial.
ly is this true when the work is great
and foes are many. The Saviour sent
out the seventy two by two. Even
prayer is more sure of answer where
two are agreed in its utterance.
;. Every mans first duty and privi.
lege is to believe the divine Word. 1t
was his unbelieving fear which made
the obedience of Moses so slow. II was
their faith which made the divine bless.
ing on Gods people sure. 1t was his
proud unbelief which brought final and
utter ruin upon Phsroah. "He that be.
lieveth shall be saved" "Without
faith it is impossible to please God"
(. Nor is there anything so rational
as faith in God and in his Son Jesus
Christ. lie does not always perform
miracles to confirm his words, but he
does furnish sufficient evidence TO jus.
tify belief.
3. Contempt of God and Indifference
to the tolls and pains of fellow men have
n common roof. Both are products OF
selfshness. They 60 often together.
6. The tendency Of wealth and power
are to intensity seltishness and harden
the heart.
!. Goddess men see neither beauty
nor profit in the worship Of God. Time
thus spent is thought to be wasted,
which is another confirmation Of the
saying that spiritual things are spirit
ually discerned'
5. The servant of God need never
greatly wonder il his motives and con.
duct are misunderstood and mIsrepre.
sented. Our Saviour did not escape
false accusations.

THE goodness and greatness of men
comes oftener from the mothers than
the fathers. In families where there
is a female influence, happy home is
looked for. There are few exceptions,
if morality and intelligence prevail
at the hearth. Woman, does not,
however. always receive her due need
of praise. Her work is done quietly
and unostentatiously, and when son
rises to distinction, by tracing back
his history, it will nearly always be
found that his first lessons were de-
rived from the female side of the
house, whether they came from a
mother, sister, an aunt, or some dis
tant relative Of the family. Our pres
idents, we believe without a single ex-
ception, made this their boasts.

A Plea for Honest Industry.

An honest artisan is in his way ms much
to be respected as physician or law
yer. Only pernicious pride can sepa-
rate tho man from his vocation. Each,
man is bundle Of wants, that musy
satisfied, either by his own labor or,
the bounty of others. And each mai.
may be the football of fortune, and pass
through all declensions of adversely. -
Amid all yicissitudes, however, indie
pendent bread may be won by the man
who has some skill or craft that subseryes
his fellows 1t is therefore the plain
duty of all parents to train their boys
industrially, unless they have ample
means to launch them into tho profess
sions. With our ever-augmenting popu-
lation, large numbers Of both sexes will
continue to emigrate; but without some
handicraft, man finds himself worse of
in the colonies than at home. Trade
may nuctuate, the capable and deserving
artisan may have period Of slackness
but taking an average, he finds enough
to keep himself and family in comfort
His lot is, indeed, n happy one compared
with the struggling unframed man. It
is time for parents to understand that the
youth who is not being drilled for a def
mite career, is treading the road which
leads TO misfortune The rising gene,ul
alton will iind it more difficult TO cd
through life's conflict than the risen gen.

THE DATE IN THE RING.

by L. NJ. HUTCHINSON.
The women dressed her for farewell
In snowy silk and lace
Acrown of her braided hair they set,
Above her quiet face,
And on her placid breast they laid
White roses, rs became maid.
Her mother bent and kissed her lips,
+ Aud kissed her braided hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair,
And, weeping, saw on one ring,
Al little golden, time-worn thing.
sLc took II from the icy hand
q And looked for rhyme or name,
fSas:cshisg to say why twas there, -
From whose fond thought it came.
She only saw, through many tear,
A date long past l--day, month and year.
"'Twas some schoolfellow's gill," she sighc
"rhe child forgot to show"
And put 1t back in Its own place
With tender touch and slow;
And saw its tiny glitter rest
Like sunshine on that Quiet breast.
All, little ring, you kept 1t well,
The secret Of your date
Whate'er its meaning, it goes untold
Beyond the earth and fate;
Pain or blessing, who can say
How much of either in IL hay
We watch the light in our darlng's eyes,
The lines that the slow years bring,
Yet know us little what they mean
AS the secret of the ring.
Joy or sorrow-God only knows
How much of both lies under the rose.
