To my mind there is only one solution
for the mysteries of life, and only one
support for the days of terrible afflict:on.
The only relief I can find is in the GER
tainty that this life is not the end, but
simply and only the preparatory school
for the real and the endless life that is
beyond. The moment that I accept this
truth fully and hold it firmly, find
solid ground for my feet and light for
my sorrowing soul. Then discover that
the whole journey Of the believer is ''por-
toned ont" to him and that the dark tun-
mel on the road is Just a. surely appointed
wisely as is the most Aowery mead or the
happiest walk over the "Delectable
Mountains. Nay, more. When we reach
heaven we may discover that the richest
and deepest and most profitable expe-
riences we had in this world were those
which were gained in the very roads from
which we shrunk hack in alarm. The
bitter cups we tried TO push away con-
tanned the medicines most needed. The
hardest lessons that we learn are those
which teach us the most and best fit us
for service here and glory hereafter. II
is the easiest thing in the world to obey
God when he commands us to do what
we like, and trust him when the path is
all sunshine. The real victory Of faith
is to trust God in the dark and through
the dark. Let us BE- assured Of this, that
il the lesson and the rod are o. his APP
pointing, and that his all-wise love has
eneineered the deep tunnels Of trials on
the hsavenward road, he will never desert
AZ during the discipline. The vital thing
Tor ~ i ne< deay snd dsssrt him. DR..

Forestry.
paper box

There is plan afoot for holding in
Cincinnati national convention in the
interests of forestry. 1t is proposed to
invite the participation of the general
government, the State governments,
scientific societies and schools of scien-
tific learning; and the suggestion is made
that delegates should be sent by railroad
and transportation companies and State
agricultural societies. 1t is urged that
the country has suffered great injury
from the destruction of the forests, and
that the injury will very soon grow to
alarming proportions unless something
is done to encourage the planting of trees
and also to prevent their wasteful de-
struction. 1t is impossible to exaggerate
the importance of this subject. The de-
struction of forest trees goes on in this
country at q constantly Increasing rate,
and very little effort is made, in any di-
rection, to replace the trees SO cut down.
The general government can promote the
work of tree planting upon the public
lands and by offering inducements to set
tiers TO do so; the State governments can
do even more, and the agricultural socie-
ties, by presenting the subject in forcible
shape, can persuade individuals to action.
In Europe the matter receives the careful
attention of the central governments, but
here we must depend chiefly upon indivi-
dual effort, which can. however, be in
fuenced by wise legislation on the part
the State.

SuNrLowER SEED FOR PoULrRy.-A
correspondent, Mrs. M. J. c.. Otter,
Iowa, gives her experience in raising
mammoth Russian sunhower seed for
poultry and for stock. 1t is eagerly
eaten, makes the hens produce eggs
plentifully, keeps the feathers glossy
and elegant. Our correspondent has
grown It successfully ON variety OF
soils, and even in fence corners. and re
CARDS the stalks to be used for kindling
wood as by no means unimportant. In
conclusion she adds: 1T grows to double
the size Of the common South American
variety, and far excels it in the large
heads OF nice black seeds, II cultivated
like other grains and kept free from
weeds. / raise heads larger over than .

There are in fact, but three sets of
women who dress great deal in Paris

the actresses. OF the second GLASS there
is no need to speak further. The mon
DANES, as the fashionable set is called,
comprise q certain number of titled

wealth in this set, and corresponding
passion for display. These are the in

A Huge Sell.

Shortly after : O'Clock last night the bell
on the First Presbyterian Church began
rinning in a wild, tumultuous way, as
though the town had taken fire. It's fierce
clangor called out multitudes Of people,
who ran hurriedly in that direction, be-
lieving the church to be burning. The lee
ture room was invaded by a more motley
gang than usually attend week day services
and the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed
among the few worshippers who had gath
cred. There was no fire. The colored man
was excited. that was all. He did not wish
people to think he was ~tolling, so he put on
a little extra steam and cut open every
valve. The way that old bell tore the air
was a caution. That sexton ought TO be
hired TO rings fire bell, he has the operation
down to such a fine point.
During the excitement OcCasioned by this
reckless waste of muscle, some one sent in
a fire alarm from box y. at the city build
ing, and SOON the entire fire department.
came tearing along. OF course the men are
good natured and did not minda little thing
ike that, but they simply used q little
choice Billingsgate by way Of relief to their
feelings.

ell with before. In hearing the music i
can hardly imagine that it comes from
bells, but rather from all manner of well
tuned instruments. The sounding brass
is not here at all, but aliis sweetness.
] know these men andtheir communica-
tons, and they are good and true, helping
every cause that is good. They have gone
up and down our land with their sweet
ness, and hope that in America they will
be received with cordial confidence.

good brethren repeat what l have heard,
they will do no harm. but they will charm
