a writer, If You keep a book and daily

and see what becomes of them, il

thing to worry you just as you allow
fly To settle on you and plague you /;
and you lose your temper Tor rather

with temper they are said To have lost
it; and you justify yourself for being
thrown off your balance by causes
which you do not trace out. But if you
would see what it was that threw you
off your balance before breakfast, and
put it down in little book, and follow
1t up, and follow il out, and ascertain
what becomes of it, you would see
what fool you were in the matter.
The art of forgetting is blessed art,
but the art of overlooking is quite as
important. And if we should take

Use and Benefit of Plaster.

1t appears from an experiment made
by the State Agricultural College of
Michigan, on their farm, with sowing
land-plaster on grass, that two bushels
of plaster produced over twO-thirds as
much increase as twenty loads of horse
manure, worth ten times as much as
the plaster cost. From this expert
ment it must not, however, be inferred
that the same results would be forth
coming on all soils from similar appli-
cation, for all lands are not equally
benefited by the application of plaster,
though, as IA rule, pasture fields can be
made to produce luXuriant grasses by
its use. So far as we know, where
plaster has been tried in Minnesota, on
grass lands and meadows, its effect
was surprising. The only instance
brought to our attention, however, was
the application on sandy land. SO says
the Farmers Union.

Gods Numbering

"The Lord shall cOuntn-so the words
Tun-''whcn he writeth up the people, +"
and we are led to ask, what part shall
we have in this divine numbering ?'
"Ile calleth his own sheep by name"
we read; and from the testimony of
many passages, are taught that each
member of the living Church, united to
the Lord Jesus, is individually known
of God, and named by God with new
name. Are we each assured by the
undoubted witness of the Spirit that
we possess this new name-a name
written in Heaven ~
"The Lord shall count" How accu-
rate will he ms numbering of the pco-
pie Not one shall Ice forgotten, not
one mistaken. He who numbers the
stars, the hairs of our head. our steps,
our months, will one day count out all
his own, and separate them from the
mass of protesting Christians. The de
cree will 90 forth: Gather my saints
together unto me; those that have
made Il covenant with me with sacri-
flee" and those that are ''called, and
chosen, and faithful and only those
Will answer to their names, and be in
cluded in the gathering.
For we think not only of the perfect
knowledge of God in this matter, but
of his love. With what instructive ac-
curacy love numbers \ mother has
each child so close to her heart, so IA
miliar to her mind, that she needs not
an arithmctical calculation Ia discover
a missing one from the circle glance
is enough. SO, we believe, does the
heart of the Father count knowing
each one who has come to him through
the precious blood-the weakest, the
youngest-in such IA way that he never
can forget; never can overlook.
And, solemn thought never can he
deceived. A soul that has no fellow
ship with God through Christ may be
in the roll of church membership: but
as the mother Enthusiastically knows the
difference between her own children
and the children of strangers, such a
soul has no chance of slipping in un-
perceived when ''thc Lord shall count. =

Death to the Weeds.

Don't give the weeds a chance, but
.'kill, burn and destroy" at sight. If
they once get the start of the crops
they will multiply and increase more
rapidly than compound interest on a
mortgage. The only way is to destroy
them as soon as they make their ap-
pearance. That is the surest method,
and in fact no continuance can possibly
ctfectually destroy them. BY pursuing
this course the crops will be free from
them. 1t is unnecessary to say that
the loss every year from weeds i'll this
state is simply enormous. Every far
mer knows that, and if that was all it
would not he so bad, but they draw the
virtue and impoverish the soil, and
when once i'll the ground it is almost
impossible to get rid of them Ex-
change.

why We Fail.

One reason why 50 many people fail
in winning others to he Christians, is
that they have nothing valuable to
offer them. Christ comes to the world
and offers them an hundred fold i'll this
life if they will follow him. There can
he no mistake about this grander,
better, happier life, for Christ possess
ed it, therefore he has right to offer
it to others. But do you possess II
richer, fuller life than the person whom
you invite to accept your religion If
not, what right have You to urge a
change upon him How much heart
can YOU throw into the invitation
The appeal of the man who has some
thing to offer, will win. The soul that
is overlooking with the priceless treas
IRE of rcdeeming love will move men.
There is something to engage their
attention beside an empty profession.
There is motive to move them

A Beautiful Incident.

On board the Inflated steamer Sc
wanhaka was one of the Fisk singers.
Before leaving the burning steamer
and committing himself to the merci
less waves, he carefully fastened upon
himself and wife, lifc-preservers.
Some one cruelty dragged away that of
his wife, leaving her without hope eX-
ccpt rs she could cling to her husband.
This she did, placing her hand firmly
on his shoulders and resting there until
her strength became exhausted, and
she said, Il can hold out no longer "
cry little longer" was the response
of the wearicd and agonized husband.
"Let us sing, Rock of Ages" And as
the sweet strains tlOated over those
troubled waters, reaching the ears of
the sinking and dying, little did they
know, those sweet singers of Israel,
whom they comforted. But 10 as
they sang, one after another of the eX-
haustcd ones were seen raising their
heads above the overwhelming waves,
joining with last effort i'll this sweet,
and dying, pleading prayer:
Rock Of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
With the song seemed to come
strength another and yet another was
encouraged to renewed effort. Soon in
the distance boat was seen advanc-
ing. Could they hold out little long
err Singing still, they tried, and soon
with superhuman strength laid hold of
the ifeboat, upon which they were
borne in safety to land. This is no
fiction; it was related by the singer
himself, who said he believed Top
lady's sweet Rock of Ages saved many
another beside himself and wife At

coal in with that little shovel Pr She

philosophy of success. Persistence is
quality that is essential to success,
and thousands are making failures in
