PORTABLE PRESSES
FOR
TRAVELLING COTTON GINS.

1TlHESE PRESSES are, beyond doubt, the best
4 now known to the trade They are snbstan-
tally made, and have as little weight as it is pos
sible to bnild press with the necessary strength
They are convenient, and very rapid in packing
Capacity twenty five bales per day, weighing
500 pounds per bale. Each Press is supplied with
the very best land a-half inch MANILA rope,
by which the packing is operated. Two hands
can pack 500 pound bale in three minutes.
These Presses can be mounted on a common farm
wagon, or the running parts of n thrasher, requi-
ring only four bolts to secure it to thewagon.
When mounted it can be transported anywhere
as easily as load OF wood. A number of them
were used in this county last season, giving en-
tire satisfaction. I submit the names Of the par
ties who operated these Presses last season, who
are we'll. known as reliable and truthful men, and
will, at any time confirm my assertion Of the
claims of the superiority of this Press over any
other known in the United States or elsewhere.

he came along to settlers cabin on the

''But perhaps could put up somewhere ~
ssPerhaps We could. There's Steve Taylor's

The boy took him round behind the tent and
saw him safe under, and then crossed the
street and sat down. He waited just exactly
three minutes, and then the stranger came
out of the tent by the door. He looked up
and down the street, closely scanned every
youngster about him, and finally said to a
bootblack:

TRIFLEs.-The best fidelity to Christ is
shown in a daily vigiant service to him i'll tri-
hes in efforts to honor him in humble, uncOn-
spicuous service, such as in good temper in
families sympathy with man and beast, hon
esty in business, liberality to servants, fidelity
to employers. These things make up the best
discipleship. The same truth applies to many
things. The best paintings are those where
such details as the blades of grass, the leaves
of the trees, the lines upon the water and sim
liar minute points are most perfectly delinea-
ted Artistic eXcellency consists chiefly in
the complete accuracy which the slothful or
the ignorant worker can not or will not ac-
cOmplish. The great Italian sculptor, Mich
ael Angelo, was once visited by al acquan-
tance, who remarked, on entering his studio,
"Why, you have done nothing to that figure
since was here last" YES 'was the reply;
II have softened the expression, touched off
that projection and made other improve
ments'' "Oh," said the visitor ''those are
mere trihes." ''True," answered Angelo,
"but remember that tritles make perfection,
and perfection is no trie.'' In like manner,
the highest form of devotion to Christ consists
in fidelity to apparent tritles. For only heart
felt love and an abiding recollectedness of him
as an ever-beloved object, will enable his dis
ciples to maintain throughout each day, in
word and company, in busy occupation and be-
fore his enemies the duty of honoring him
thus continuously and in the whole detail of
life

The Train WlCnOuC Cnelf kllOWleQSe or consent,
was quite prevalent and noticeable.
A MILLION OF YEARs.-Croll, in his ''Cli-
mate and Tine;;" says ''tIere is one way of
conveying to the mind some idea of what a
million years is. Take; strip of paper an inch
broad or more and eighty three feet four inches
in length, and stretch it along the wall of Il
large hall, or round the walls Of an apartment
somewhat over twenty feet square. Recall to
memory the days of your boyhood, SO as to get
some adequate conception Of what a period of
hundred years is. Then mark off from one
of the ends of the strip one-tenth of an inch.
The one-tenth of al inch will then represent
one hundred years, and the entire length of the
strip million years. 1t is well worth making
the experiment, just in order to feel the stri-
king impression that it produces on the mind.
Could we stand upon the edge of a gorge, a
mile and a half in depth, that had been cut out
Of the solid rock bya tiny stream, scarcely
visible at the bottom of this fearful abyss, and
were we Informed that this little streaElet was
able to wear off annually one-tenth of an inch
from it's rocky bed, what would our conception
be of the prodigious length of time that this
stream must have taken to eXcavate the gorge?
We should certainly feel startled when, on
making the necessary calculations, we found
that the stream had performed this enormous
amount of work in something less than mil
lion of years."
Ms~ Intemperance cannot be treated like
theft, OF lying, or cOvetuousness. 'Look not
upon the wine-cup" and "Woe unto him that
giveth his neighbor drink'' have been in the
Bible from the beginning, and yet public senti-
ment has been so low that they have been
greatly overlooked The Church, surely, must
lead in this matter. Canon Farrar says "lf
Buddhism has succeeded in making Mohamme-
dan lands temperate, surely the church of God
should blush that she has not done so much.'
