a TALK ABOUT ToAsr.-Mrs. +. p

ally destroyed yeast germs in bread, and
converted the insolublc starch into soIu
bic substance resembling gum, and which
chemists called dextrne, 50 that toasted
bread was incapable Of fermentinr anC

agreed better with weak stomach than
any other bread Indeed, 4 scnsitiy,
stomach would frequently digest toas
when it would digest no other article ol
food. Hence toast, which was in general
use rs diet for invaids, could be safely
and iuJiciously recommended for them al
all times; and the loose talk ndurod in
by some self styled teachers of physiology
about the extreme unhealthlulncss o
toast, especially when buttercd, only gave
emphasis to the fact that toastiny bad
bread and melting bad butter did not i'm
provo the quality Of either, or render them
less indigestiblc or unwholesome than
when in their original unregcneratu con.
dition. Melting Or boiling inferior butter
would not make it proper food for a
human stomach, and the most skilful ma.
nipulation would not convert sour, half
baked bread into nutritious, palatable
toast. The latter held so important a
place among foods that every one should
know how to make it properly. Yet one

From the prairie's boundless plain,
from the golden gate Of sunset.

And his heart grew warm within him,
And bis moistening eyes grow dim,
For lie knew that his country q children
We're singing tho songs of him:
Tho lays of his ife'G glad morning,
The psalms Of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
on the winds Of every cline.
All their beautiful consolet ions,

And sang in the poets car.

And greeting like farewell

summing upand comments are as follows
The sermon we publish this week will
be of special interest to Preshyterians Just
now. From the lsrfs stated by Mr.. Platter
we gather:
/. That the Melhodists in Klusas are
much more successful in winning souls to
Christ than the Presbyterians.
,. That they are much more successful
in raising funds for missionary purposes
than the Presbytcrans.
3. That, if the Presbyterians would dc

wANTRD-A MINISTER'S WIFE

- WIFE
At length We settled pastor:
am sure l cannot tell why
The people should grow so restless,
Or candidates grow 80 shy;
But Efter two years. searching
Fer the smartost man in the land.
In of sheer desperation
We took the nearest at hand.
And really he answers nicely
To" ill up the gap" you know.
To" run tho machine and bring up arrears" /"
And make things generally go;
He has few little failings.
His sermons are commonplace quite.
But his manners are very charming,
And his cheeks are perfectly white.
And so of all tho" dear people
Not one of hundred complains,
For beauty or grace Of manner
Is so much better than brains.
But the parish have all concluded
Ne needs partner for life,
To shine gem in the parlor;
Wanted minister's wife"
Wanted. perfect lady.
Delicate. gentle. refined
With every beauty of person,
And every endowment Of mind.
Fitted by early culture
omove In fashionable life.
Please notice our advertisement
"Wanted-a m in ister's wife"
Wanted, thoroughbred worker,
Who well to her household looks:
shall we see our money was ted

Who cuts the daily expenses
With economy as sharp as a knife.
And washes and crubs In the kitchen;
Wanted-a minister's wife"
A very domestic person.

1t has such bad appearance
For her to be gadting about
only to visit the parish
Every year of her life,
And attend the funerals and weddings:

And when we work for the soldiers
Her ready assistance to lend.
TO clothe the destitute children
Where sorrow and want are strife,
To hunt up Sunday school scholars

To all others spending less,
But never disgracing the parish.

And when we have found the person,
We hope, by working the two,
To lift our debt. and build new church
Then we shall know what to do:
For they will be wern aud weary.
