If we sincerely loved the will of God,
and only this. we should change our
earth into heaven. We should thank
God for everything-for evil as well as
good from his hand. o my God, what
do l see in the course of the stars, in
the revolutions of the seasons, in the
events of life but the accomplishment of
thy will May it also be accomplished
in me, and may love it. May it sweet
en- and endear all events to me. May |
annihilate my own to make thy will
reign in me. For it is thine to will land
mine to obey.-Fenelon.

agricultural 9epartment,
ENSILAGE.

We have looked very sharply through
all our agricultural exchanges for the
objections which might be urged or sug-
gested against ensilage as fodder for
stock. First, because the discussion of
the subject is getting to be altogether
too one-sided to be interesting and Sc
condly, because it is of the first impor-
lance that farmers should know the outs
in silo before they invest 5000 or $500
each in building one. In doing this,
however, we confess to having paid lit
tie attention to the say-sos of chemical
experts who have figured out in their
laboratories that it is simply impossible
to do what has been done repeatedly
and can be done again.
If there is any confidence to be plac-
ed in the testimony of any of the twen-
ty or thirty men who built and filled
silos in New England last year, certain
facts have been proved beyond a reason
able doubt:
l. That any green fodder can be pre-
served in silos without much difficulty,
the process being simple and the result
certain.
2. That corn fodder can be raised,
cut and put into silo at from So to
$3.50 per ton,
8. That stock will eat ensilage with
great avidity.
4. That rs pound of ensilage costing
from z to cents will take the place. Of
what hay large cow usually eats in a
day.
5. That stock fed on ensilage for two
or three months at time, will to al
appearances do as we'll or better than
when fed on the best of hay.
6. That stock fed on ensilage requires
no water.
} On all these points all the farmer
who have had any practical experienc,
are agreed.
One broad and deep question remain
to be settled, and that is, whether thi
new system is going to wear; whethe
: cattle and sheep fed upon ensilag
l through the season and through serie
of seasons will retain their health an
< vigor as we'll as when fed upon hay
q Upon this point we confess that we hav
t grave doubts. The appearance of ell
e silage fodder is sadly against it.
e looks and smells more like swill tina
: wholesome food, and the first thought
n suggests is that of disease. Dr. Rober
e son, of this city, thinks continuous feeC
r ing upon it will cause cattle's teeth
d drop out, and several other gentleme
K whom we have met shake their hea(
e. obviously when anybody says that ha
is rotten corn fodder is more health
st food than sweet hay.
n This, however, is something that on
to experiments extending through seri
m of years can determine, and we mu
r wait. Meantime let US keep our hea
IN level and not expect too much from th
ed new notion. 1t is now we'll before t
OF public, and we may be certain tn
70 whatever is good in it will be found o
er and established beyond controversy
at due time.-Msrror and Farmer.

Some clocks do not strike. You must
look at them if you would know the
time. Some men do not talk their
Christianity; you must look at their
lives if you would know what the Cos
pei can do for human nature. But a
clock need not be incorrect because it
strikes man need not be inconsistent
because he speaks as we'll as acts.

THE MAN WHO WANTED
TO SEE JESUS.


The Lord Jesus used to walk about
upon this earth and live among men, SO
that they could see him with their bod
lily eyes. You know he is still here,
only we cannot see him now. as they
could then. We shall have to wait till
We get to heaven before we can do that
But we know that he is still with us
here, and we have only to whisper to
him and he will hear US.
There was once, in those days we
have been speaking Of, man who want
ed to see Jesus very much, and he was
very rich man. But all his money
could not help him to get to see Jesus.
You know there are some things which
money cannot do, and this is one of
them; money cannot ever help US to get
to heaven and to get near Jesus and
near God. So this man, who was nam
ed Zacchaus, could not get near Jesus,
because there was such a crowd of peo-
pie pressing around him. He could not
get into the thick crowd, and he could
not see over the heads Of the people, be-
cause he was little man; he was not
tall enough to look over the others. But
he wanted to see Jesus so much that at
last he ran on and climbed up into a
tree, and waited there till the Lord Je-
sus got up to the place.
And then Jesus saw him-he always
sees those who really want him-and he
stopped and called to him to come down
out of the tree. The Lord never passed
by any one who was wanting him.
So he stood DOW, and perhaps he
pointed to Zacch@us up IN the tree, OIL
perhaps he only looked at him with thai
sweet yet piercing look of his which
once made Peter weep, it was so full Of
meaning, and then called to him ant
said, "Zacch@us, be quick and come
down, for to-day l must stay at you
house."
So Zacch@us made haste and cam
down out of the tree very quickly, ant
he was so very glad to take the Lore
Jesus into his house.
But the people were not pleased, the.
did not like it at all. They said FAC
ch@us was bad man, and they grum
bIed because our Lord went to stay a
his house.
But Jesus said he had come to see
and to save that which was lost. H
had just come down to this world o
purpose to save the poor men. wome
and children who had lost their way
heaven, and he was seeking them out
so when he found one that wanted to /
put right, he did not mind what peop
said, he just went and saved that one.
Well, the people were vexed, b.
Zaccheus was very glad, and he stot
and said like this, "Look, Lord L
give half my goods to the poor, and if
have taken anything from any Oh
which l ought not to have done, l w
give him four times as much back again
And Jesus said that man was save
that he was now in the right way; a.
he was in the right way, for he was
glad that the Lord Jesus had visit
him, and shown him how he had col
down to die that he might be forgive
that he made up his mind he wou
now show him by his acts, that is
what he did, how very much he than
ed him for saving him.
You see he believed Jesus-that
he felt quite sure he would save him
and then he could not help loving hi
and then, when he loved him, he co,
not help trying to please him. WI
we love people we always try to ple'
them.-.ChiId'S Magazine.

DOING ONES BEST.

None can do any too we'll by doing
their best in whatever work they under
take. The habit of doing ones best in
youth will surely bring its ample re-
wards in after years, The common-sense
adage: whatever is worth doing at
all is worth doing we'll always" is
worthy of an active abiding in every
youthful mind. High aims and best
efforts alone bear rich returns in high
attachments and happy awards in any
department of human achievements
AS effect never exceeds its cause so
worthy attainments in moral growth,
moral goodness, or moral achievement
never excel the aims of the moral agent.
Great deeds and great men are but the
mature consequences of "coVeting ear
nestly the best gifts and the habit of
doing ones best in all things. Mans
aggregate success in life depends more
on his self-culture and best efforts for
definite end than upon chance circum-
stances of wealth or social Inheritance
The youth Of but one natal mental tai
ent may, by doing his best, with noble
aims and constant culture, increase his
one talent tenfold, and in the end far
outstrip another with ten birth talents
of capacity but of indefinite aims, indo-
lent aspirations and slothful inactivity.

The Missing Link Completed,

On Monday last, the long contem-
plated line of railroad from Monroe to
Gratiot, was opened to the public, and
travel and traffic were begun over it
This brings the Mineral Point division
of the c. NJ. & st. p. railway into con-
nection with, and makes it form an in.
tegral part of the Monroe line. 1t
opens to southwestern Wisconsin 2
new and direct route to Milwaukee,
and also new route to Chicago via
Milwaukee. That large and produc-
tive section of country lying adjacent
to the old Mineral Point road, is no
longer virtually shut out from the
markets and the metropolis of our own
state.
As soon as the advantages CT this
line for passenger business become
known, it can hardly fail to absorb the
greater part of the through travel
The c. n. & st. z. railway is proven
bal for the. deficiency of its passenger
service. Its cars are of the best and
are kept neat and clean its officials are
courteous and gentlemanly, and every
thing needful is done for the safety
and comfort Of the passengers. Under
present arrangements, one taking the
early train on this road can go to Mil
waukee, spend five hours, and return
home the same day, or can reach Chi
cage at o'clock in the afternoon.

they may be carried to a successful
