Making the Worst OF 1t.

Some persons live in perpetual state of
fret. The weather is always Objectionable
the temperature is never satisfactory. They
have too much to do, and are driven to
death or too little, and have no resources.
If they are sick, they know that they never
shall get well; If they are well, they expect
soon to be sick. Something is sure to dis
turb their sleep; their food is never quite to
their taste; they have corns which every
one treads on, or toothache which no one
realizes. Their daily work is either drudg-
cry, which they hate, or so difficult aud
complex that they cannot execute it. To
hear the prolonged recital OF their petty
woes one would think them the most perse-
cuted of mortals, and when people shrink
from the disagreeable character, their lack
of sympathy adds another drop to the cup of
trouble. Yet these people have no more
real cause for repining than the rest of the
world.-Selected.

The Pipe OF Peace.

OF all the poor excuses for using tobacco,
the most shameless is that of the man who
says that he left it off once or twice, but his
wife urged him to take it up again, because
it made him $50 nervous" to be without it I;
and the wife's added comment is, that her
husband was "really so ill-natured without
his tobacco that there was no living in the
house with him" II is bad enough for
poor working woman to be compelled to
give soothing syrup" to her crying baby,
so that she can have quiet time at her
washing or sewing; but when husband is
beyond all hope of decency unless his ill
nature is kept within bounds by his being
half stupefed by the fumes of tobacco, why
well, that tobacco fills its place great
deal better than that husband does his

According 10 the Weather.

The late DR.. Bushnell used to tell the
following anecdote to show the influence of
climate upon the judgment. As they were
coming out of church one drizzly Sunday,
his wife remarked, "You had better burn
that sermon it isn't worth repeating any
where. al shall do no such thing" an
swered, little vexed; "the sermon is up
to my average" She persisted and said
little more. But year or two afterwards,
on bright, CHEEKY Sunday in May-one of
those days that make DISCOURSE go off
ITSELF took that same sermon again. And
as we came down the aisle after service,
she whispered (without the slightest notion
that she had heard it before), 81 would
mark that TO preach on exchange; it is
better than common"

Living for God.

Not always, nor often, does God invite us
to do some great thing for him. Isaiah
volunteered to go to his own people, his
own neighbors, and to try, with his ceansed
lips, to make their lips clean. Aud though
at times he had to rebuke princes and TO
pronounce the doom of nations, yet it was
his whole life which he dedicated TO God
with all its petty details of daily conducs.
1t was part of his work to live with the
prophecies he took to wife according to a
divine law, to name and train his children
so that little Emmanuel and little Maher-
shalal-ha5h-baz should be for signs and for
wonders IN Israel from the Lord of hosts"
Ard, in like manner, God sends us to our
own people, to our kinsfolk and our &C.
quaintance. We have been cleansed that
we may cleanse them. And we are not to
wait for great opportunities which seldom
come, which may never come to us, and for
which we might not prove fit if they did
come. We are to endeavor so to order our
whole life by divine law that, even in the
trivial round and common task, we may
show that we have taken God for our king,
and that we delight to do his will. 1t is by
this constant and patient heed to the little
things of daily conduct that we are gradu-
ually to build up character aud life wholly
consecrated to him; and if we do but take
the trivial occasions for self-conquest and
self-denial, for resisting evil and doing good,
which every dey affords, we may safely
leave God to link on day to day, and duty to
duty, and to draw all our poor and imper-
feet acts of service into the large and effect
ual ministry by which he is teaching and
saving the world. This, then, is our high
calling and vocation,-to live for God, so
that our very lives may speak for him. To
this service we are invited to volunteer that,
while serving, we may be free. For this
service, if only we choose it, God qualities
us by revealing to us the sacred and abiding
realities which underlie all the shadows and
changes of time. Aud, indeed, the service
is often so hard, and appears to be SO unsuc-
cessful, that we cannot hope to be steadfast
in it unless we see all that Isaiah saw, and
share his strong persuasion that God rules
over all and rules all for good. If we would
understand what the difficulties of this
divine service are, and where lies our hope
of being faithful to it, we have but 10 con-
slider the task which the prophet was called
to undertake, and the motives which secured
his fidelity.-Reu. Samuel Cor.

A SONG OF THE COUNTRY.

Away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust and din Of the town
Where TO live Ia to brawl and to battle,
Till the strong treads the weak man down.
Away to the bonnie green hills,
Where the sunshine sleeps on the brae,
And the heart Of the greenwood thrills
To the hymn Of the bird on the spray.
Away from the smoke and the smother,
The vale Of the dun and the brown,
The push and the plash and the pother,
The wear and waste Of the townl
Away where the sky shines clear,
And the light breeze wanders at will,
And the dark pine wood mods near
To the light plumed birch on the hill.
Away from the whlrllng and wheeling,
And steaming above and below.
Where the heart has no leisure for feeling,
And the thought has no quiet to grow
Away where the clear brook puris,
And the hyacinth droops In the shade,
And the plume Of the fern uncurls
Its grace in the depth Of the glade.
Away to the cottage, 20 sweetly
Embowered meath the fringe Of the wood,
Where the wife Of my bosom shall meet me
with thoughts ever kindly and good.
More dear than the worth of the world
Fond mother with balrnies three,
And the plump-armed babe that has curled
Its lips sweetly poutlng for me.

IT is hardly going too far to say that no
rude-mannered person, of whatever grade
in society, can be good Christian. For
rudeness means at least this, that the rude
person does not regard himself as bound to

but only what his own temper and conven-
ience may dictate, And seldshness and

Manure.

Put back into the ground as much as
you take out of it, is good maxim. No
more important problem presents itself
to the farmer than how to do this. There
are many ways; all are being tried, and
many of them are good ways; but the
best in every respect is as yet unknown,
and for many reasons. It is impossible
to arrive at any accurate value of ma
nure because of circumstances: crops,
as to kind, their value and the skill
of the farmer; the condition of the land
and its. character; the material out of
which the manure is made, as to the ami
mails and their feed; the preservation of
its fertilizing constituents until applied
to the fields; the proper disposition of
the manure when obtained, and the diff
ferences in climate and of seasons. All
these things are to be considered in es-
timating values in manures, and even
then conclusions differ. But while all
these points are being practically set
tied, there is much that can be done
with Just such material as lies about US,
which is often neglected or wasted. 1t
is good principle to turn into manure
every available substance about the
farm. Naturally, in doing this many
errors are committed, many foolish
theories applied. and that frequently in
defiance of available knowledge. In q
certain sense science is the radical ele-
uaent in farming, and is necessarily .

Clover and Rye for Hogs.

In my experience, saysa writer, I have
found nothing so profitable for hog pas
ture as clover and rye, and 1 think rye
preferable; and the reason they are bet
ter than timothy, blue grass and all SIM
liar grasses is, they remain more tender
for longer period than other grasses,
which so soon become wiry and hard,
partaking of the nature of hay, and I
have never known hogs to thrive on it.,
although other stock Goes. To use rye
probably for pasture fall rye should be
sown for spring pasture and spring rye
for later pasture, and by not pasturing
too long and too close there will be con-
siderable head out, which when ripe
will, with the weeds that naturally grow
among grain, make good pasture until
time to commence feeding corn; at least
such is my experience. As to using any
of the grasses named for hog pasture, I
would prefer a good weed pasture, and I
will here say that l am of opinion if
some of the weeds SO eagerly eaten by
hogs were domesticated and properly
cultivated they would prove more salts
factory for hog pasture than anything
used of grass kind.

"A burglar lately entered house in
the outskirts of Buffalo, and found q
neither sitting up with sick child.
:. Sir" said she to him in a whisper. as
soon as she could compose herself to
speak, "there is nothing of value in this
house except that child's life, at least to
me; but you may find otherwise. Here,
take my keys, search everywhere, take
what you want, but speedily and with,

him the keys, placed her finger on her
lip, and pointed. to the door. The
burglar moved quietly away, then turned
and said in 3 low voices: Is he very
sick?" "His life hangs on the oontinu-
ance of this Sleep" ''Then he will re-
cover for all the noise I'll make" the
robber, answered, laying down the keys
and noiselessly taking his departure,

Transplanting Evergreens.

There has always been much said as
to the proper time for transplanting ev-
ergreen trees. The first tree we ever
planted on our own account ofthe ever
green family was a cedar-tfee. We
wanted about dozen with which to
make hedge. and were told to select
the month of August, as that was the
year to remove them with certainty. We
did so, and were three years before we
could get enough to grow. 1t is true
good sized trees were selected, but they
were not two hours out of the ground
before they were in again, and during
even that short period the roots were
protected against the sun.
We never tried August again; and
subsequently, in iplanting the Hemlock
and Norway sptuces, the double white
spruce, the common mountain spruce,
the white pine, the Excelsior pine, the
Criptomeria, the Austrian and Scotch
pines, the Irish juniper, the Irish yew,
the American, Chinese and Siberian
arbor vitas, we do not at this time re-
member that even one was lost by the
transportation. We set from the mid.
die of March to the end of May, and on
one occasion the Norway spruce was
planted when it had shot fully two
inches.
August and the autumn months NAV
be very good transplanting times for
some people. We merely mention our
own experience, which may or may not
be considered satisfactory; but August
and the autumn can not be better than
the spring when. if properly attended
to, all the trees grow Gesmantoipn
