A Strange Preacher.

There was once minister of the
gospel who never built church.
Who never preached in one.
Who never proposed church
fair to buy the church new carpet.
Who never founded new sect.
Who never belonged to any sect.
Who frequented public houses and
drank wine with sinners.
Who never received a salary.
Who never asken for one.
Who never wore black suit or
a white necktie.
Who never used prayer book.
Or a hymn book.
Or wrote Sermon,
Who never hired cornet soist
to draw souls to hear the "WOrd."
Who never advertised his SER
mons.
Who never even took a text for
his sermons.
Who never went through course
of theological study.
Who never was ordained.
Who was never even converted.
Who never went to conference.
Who was he?

The most perfect home | ever saw
was little house into the sweet
incense of whose altar fires went no
costly things. A thousand dollars
served as a years living of father,
mother and three children. But
the mother was the creator of the
home. Her relations with her chill :
dren were the most beautiful | have
ever seen. Even the dull and COM
mon place man was lifted up and
enabled to do work for souls by the
atmosphere which this woman cre-
ated. Every inmate of her house
invOluntarily looked into her face
for the Keynote of the day, and it
always rang clear. From the rose
bud or clover leaf which in spite of
her hard housework she always
found time to put beside our plates
at breakfast down to the story she
had on hand to be read in the even
ing there was no interruption of her
influence. She has always been,
and always will be, my ideal of a
wife, mother and home maker. If
to her quick brain, loving heart and
exquisite face had been added the
appliances of wealth and the enlarge
ments of wide culture hers would
have been the ideal of home. As it
was, it was the best | have ever
seen.

Mother Garfield.

Good old mother Garfield in writ
ing to cousin, said of the president !:
James is smart, if | do say it.r
Why bless you, dear old lady, you
have right to say it. Your moth
erly care and your creating hand
developed, despite the most impor-
tune circumstances, the first gentle
man of the nation, and you have a
right to enjoy in your own way the
fruits Of your labors. Your pres
ence in the white house is a Joy to
the entire nation. No victory ever
won on battle field has given such
supreme satisfaction, as does the
fact that you have lived to enioy
this abundant harvest. The nation
has recognized that "James is
smart" and it asks with united voice
that God may long bless his mother.
Millions of warm hearts swell ND to
her with tenderness and strength
of feeling which they have never
entertained toward stranger blood
before.

Carlyle.

This is a paragraph from review
of the new book on the earnest
Scotch philosopher:
"The letters of Mrs. Carlyle, with
his and her journal, show better the
man than any biographer could hope
to do in writing any number of vol
umes. They were not written with
any thought of publication, but are
all the more valuable. Some of the
penciled fly leaves of books Carlyle
read contain the largest wisdom and
his best utterances. Noting the
death of his father, Carlyle wrote:
"He had finished the work that was
given him to do, and finished as be-
came a man. He was summoned,
too, before he had ceased to be in-
teresting, to be lovable. He was to
the last the pleasantest man l had to
speak with i'm Scotland. For many
years, too. he had the end ever in
his eye, and was studying to make
all preparation for what he called
often, that last, that awful change
Even at every new parting of late
years | have noticed him wiring my
hand with tenderer pressure, as if
he felt that one other Of our few
meetings here was over. Merciful-
ly, also, has he been spared me till /
am abler to bear his lOss; till by
manifold struggles, too, as he did,
feel my feet on the everlasting rock, |
aud, through time with its death,
can in some degree see into eternity |
with its life." In all the book there |
is wise discrimination i'm the selec-
lions, and admirable system and
arrangement.

Deep Flowing.
cereals.

The popular verdict has pronounced
against deep blowing, and the tive-inch
furrow seems to be the general level"
The fact that was proclaimed in the be-
ginning of the controversy was that
Natures plans were always carried on
very near the surface, and when the
soil was kept rich the results were on
the side of medium depth. As a rule
the fertility brought from the lower
stratas is never worth the outlay to
bring to the surface. 1t is yet to be
demonstrated that any farmer ever sue
ceeded in raising paying series Of
crops by any other method than en-
riehing the soil rs fast as impoverish-
able, by the by-products of the farm.
Roots of grains lay very close to the
surface where they can receive light, air
and moisture, then at this point the
grestest fertility should be concen-
trated. If this part of the soil is of the
fresh, raw subsuil that has just been
brought to the surface, and has, there
fore, not been subjected to the break
ing down process, and made pliable and
mellow by action of frost and other elc-
ments, SO as to become available plant
food, failure must come. The roots
will be forced to lower level where
the real soil is, and this strata being
colder and less acted upon by sun and
air, there will be probability for a
light crop. The farmer who fails in
keeping his soil fertile enough to pro-
duce crop by medium depth blowing
will be quite as likely to fail by prac-
ticing deep blowing, and not proper
tionately enriching his deeper plowings
by the best applied fertilization. - CIeUe-

A Nocturnal RamSie and What Came orIt

Some genius-we suspect him to belong to
the jovial order Of humanity-has said:
"The day to drone and dream, the night to
learn and ramble." We do not propose to
dispute this worthy's view Of the matter, but
present herewith the experience Of Phila-
delphia journalist, Mr.. William II. Cum
nington, 1872 North Twentieth street, one Of
whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to,
beginning his narration rather peculiarly,
however: II am not a rheumatic, and have
been troubled very little With bodily pains.
Last Tuesday morning l experienced a very
annoying stiffness OF the neck, which grew
worse as the day wore on. Toward evening
1t became very severe, and | could scarcely
turn my head in any direction. Arriving
home at tea time, it was with difficulty that
could eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with st. Jacobs Oil, but re-
fused, saying l thought the afliction would
soon pass away. Tea over, against the re-
monstrances of my family, l left home to
ramble toward the new Chestnut Street
Opera House, about two and a-haf miles
from my residence. | started in the midst
of a heavy snow storm, and remained at the
theater until the close Of the performance,
although l could feel my neck getting worse
and becoming very painful. Leaving the
play the trouble came TO reach home. The
storm continued; the car in which was be-
came blocked in nearly every square, cold
current of air swept through the car, and
did not reach my home until toward two a.
M, by which time my neck had become abb
solutely rigid. Then l consented to the use
Of St. Jacobs Oil, which my wife applied

ued its use that day and by evening Twas free
from pain, and the next morning amused
myself by twisting my neck in any direction
that suited me, and not a vestige Of stiffness
remained. '-BoStou Herald.

"a FAIR BARBARIAN"

The public need little information as TO the
author OF this work. There have been few
more striking successes in literature than that
achieved by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, an
English lady, who had early made America her
home. The editor OF Scribners Monthly early
dscerned her talent. Her reputation was made
by her first novel in that magazine. THAT
Lass o. Lowries,' fairly electrified the reading
world II was receivet with enthusiasm in
both continents, and English critics have We'd
with America in Its praises, while edition after
edition has been absorbed by an eager putfIc.
"Haworths" followed, and fully sustained it's
authors reputation. "Louisana," which came
next, presented her in new and entirely DIFF
ferent field; but 1t was, II anything, even
greater literary success than it's predecessors.
In her latest novel, "a Fair Barbarian we find
Mrs. Burnett amid still other scenes and char
acters, and here she seems likely to eclipse, at
least as far as popularity is concerned, all her
earlier triumpbs. The title Of the story is in
itself q most happy conception. The Fair
Barbarian" is . young American lady who has
rived in Nevada, and who comes upon an Eng
lish country town, with the suggestive name of
"Slowbridge," to astonish it's inhabitants by an
individuality OF character wholly unique.
II is not fair to forestall the readers interest
by a revelation OF the full plot Of the story, bat
its more salient points may be suggested. The
heroine is . thoroughly interesting and original
creation. She is thoroughly American. She is
entirely unconventional in her IDEAS, whom tried
by English standards. She confounds and
smazes the rigid devotees OF propriety, with
whom sho comes in contact in this sleepy Eng
llsh village. All look upon her with mingled
curiosity and wonder. She absolutely horrifes
