The Missionary Box.

The following, from the Springfield
Republican, will be interesting to those
who send away missionary boxes, as
it shows what good cheer the contents
carry to those for whom they are des-
tined
A grateful letter from missionary
family in the West comes to the wO-
men of one of our city churches, who
sent the family New-year's present
of many serviceable articles. The
writer says: II know from experience
of years ago in my old New England
home, when as girl looked upon the
filling of missionary box with feelings
akin to awe, little thinking | ever
would see one opened for myself and
mine, how heartily you have engaged
i'll the filling of these barrels, and
have almost, i'll fancy, been one with
You in your church parlors while the
work was being done. Could you be
with us as we unpack the barrels, you
could then understand the JOY your
labor has brought to our household. |
really believe some of our little ones
think that Massachusetts is the border
land of heaven ut least one of them
honestly inquired if it was not nearer
heaven than here. And do not know
as that little one is far wrong for if
deeds of charity and mercy, of Christian
endeavor and achievement make us
more like Christ and bring us nearer
heaven, especially i'll the sense that
the kingdom of heaven is within you,
then indeed dear old Massachusetts,
with her glorious past and equally
glorious present, is nearer heaven than
where such labors and self-denials are
not made for Christ's kingdom"

Good Advice.

The best way to sell a horse or a
cow that you want to get rid of, is to
tell the truth about it. A frank ac-
acknowledgements of faults will often OBJ
tain credit for a counter statement of
good qualities. Mr.. Bonner, who a
year since advertised his house and
upon the prevalence of fever and ague
in the vicinity, probably sold them to
a purchaser who considered himself
and family proof against the "shakes."
Let the fault of an animal be what it
may, it will suit some purpose, and
will find purchaser at its fair value.
Many persons will buy an imperfect
animal at reasonable price, taking
the risk of curing and getting a good
bargain Richard Goodman.

Aunt Mary'S PIedge-ROII.

Aunt Mary is coming, Aunt Mary is

who had only seen four brief years.
"Who is Sc p said baby Kit.
"The dearest, sweetest auntie in the

no trees, only in the park, and a very,

"Who thaid the wath coming ?" said
grave little Tommy. "Tm thOrry"
Mamma said So and 80 you

When Aunt Mary came Tommy
changed his mind. She went to the
woods with the children for moss. wild
flowers, and wintergreen berries, she
helped them to pick the rosy-cheeked
apples, and was altogether ''nither
than little girl" Tommy declared.

asked. "Tweet thider, oh it'll nithe"
What was Toms surprise when Aunt
Mary answered decidedly:
NO, dear, will not. don't like
snakes
The children all stared at Aunt Mary,
but said nothing. None of them went
to the cider mill, but when the barrels
were brought home, and the sweet new
cider was drawn of and passed around.
they all drank of it, though Aunt Mary
looked sad.
There ant any thnakes in the thi-

Aunt Mary shook her head. Two days

Little Boots.


Not those sadly laid away,
With little stockings soft and gay,
That sunless, heart-sick sAddsst day
passed beneath the rod;
/ wipe from them the gathered mold,
wonder at their growing old.
Then think how long the streets of gold
Ny little one has trod
Today little larger pair
Are traysrsing the hall and stair.
Or somerssulting in the air.
Are never. never still
Down at the heel Out at the toes
Mud covered Every mother knows
How ''in-and-out" her dear boy goes,
of chide him a. she will.
But life and strength and glowing health,
Come through those little boots by stealth,
And willing errands, loves sweet wealth
At bidding bring Us joy.
Bear with the little boots. pray;
Soon into life they'll walk away.
And sitting lone, your heart will say,
Where is my little boy

Chemists, who have examined In
dian corn, find that it contains all the
way from 8 to ii parts in a hundred
(by weight of fat. By proper means
this fat can be separated from the
grain, and it is then thick, pale oil.
When oils are heated sufficiently in
closed vessels, so that the air cannot
get to them, they are turned into gas,
which occupies many times the bulk
that the oil did. When popcorn is
gradually heated and made so hot that
the oil inside the kernels turns to gas,
this gas cannot escape through the hull
of the kernels, but when the interior
pressure gets strong enough, it bursts
the grain, and the explosion is so viO
lent that it skaters it in the most Gu
riOus manner. The starch in the grain
becomes cooked and takes up a great
deal more space than it did before

VALUE OF HEN MANURE.

VALUE OF HEN MANURE.
With your permission, Mr.. Editor,
will give my experience with the above
fertilizer. | save all the droppings in
my hen house and keep them in dry
state until | want to use them. About
a week before | wish to apply to the
soil, | prepare a place under cover by
cleaning off the top of the ground !;
then | empty my barrels of dry hen
manure on the spot prepared on this
mass | pour a few pals of hot water,
about two or three pals full to bar
rel of droppings; in about twenty four
hours the mass will begin to give off
ammonia. | then fix the ammonia
by mixing as many barrels of good
rich loan as | had barrels of hen
manure aud thoroughly work over
the mass once a day for three days,
when it is fit for use. | then, for corn,
put about one half pint of the mixture
into each hill. Care should be taken

compost, as it will prevent its germi-
mating. One acre of my ensilage corn,
of which spoke recently in your pa
per, was raised on a poor piece of
sandy soil with only the above amount
of fertilizer. The growth was very
large some of the stalks were II feet
inches in height and weighed u lbs. !;
the average was about ) lbs. each.
The yield, as it came i'll from the field
to be cut, was Do tons to the acre,
while the rows were 36 inches apart.
In preparing hen manure for the land
it is very essential to keep it dry until
it is wanted to use, and in no case
should unleached ashes be mixed with
it in composing. A little trouble i'll
preparing a suitable place for the hens
will be returned in value to any one
who has patch of land TO improve in
more ways than one.
