Coop ADvIcE.--Mr. r. s. Burdette, he
of the HIwkeye, gives the following advice
to u young man: MY son, when you
hear man growing and scolding because
Moody gets 5000 week for preaching
Christianity, you will perceive that he
never worries minute because Ingersoll
gets 5000 night for preaching atheism.
You will observe that the man who is un-
utterably shocked because F. Murphy gets
$3.50 a week for temperance work seems
to think It is all right when the bar keep
er takes in twice as much money in sim
ole day. The laborer is worthy of his
hire, my boy, and he is just as worthy of
it in the pulpit as he is upon the stump.
Is the man who is trying to save your
immortal soul worth less than the man
who is only trying his level best to 60 to
congress? Isn't Moody doing as good
work as Ingersoll9 Isn't John b. Cough
as much the friend ofhumanity and society
as the bar tender? Do you want to get all
the good in the world for nothing, so that
you may be able to pay high price for
the bad? Remember, my boy, tho good
things in the world are always the cheap
est. Spring water costs less than corn
whiskey; box of cigars will buy two or
three Bibles; gallon Of old brandy costs
more than revival of religion; you can
sleep in church every Sunday morning
for nothing ifyou're mean enough to dead
beat your lodging in that way, but nap
in Pullman car costs two dollars every
timo; fifty cents for the circus and a pen
ny for tho little ones to put in the mission
ary box; ono dollar for. the theatre and
a pair of old trousers frayed at tho end,
baggy rs to the knee and utterly bursted
rs to the domc, for the Michigan sufferers; /;
tho horse race scoops in $4,000 tho first
day and tho church fair lasts II week,
works twenty-five or thirty of the best
women in America nearly to dcath, and
comes out $40 in dobt-why, my boy, if
you over find yourself snocrns OF scoIllng
bccacso once in while you hear of
a preacher getting a living, or even lux
urious salary or IL temperance worker
making money. so out in the dark and
feel ashamed Of YOURSELF and if you don t
feel above kicking mean man, kick your.
self. Precious littlo doe5 religion and
charity cost the old world my boy, and
when the money it does is flung into his
face, like bone to dog, the donor is
not benefited by tho gift, and the receiver
is not and certainly should not be grateful.
1t is insultGd."

RECOGNITION IN HEAvEN - II was
good Richard Baxter who suggested the
now often quoted thought, that we may
confidently expect to know our loved ones
in Heaven. inasmuch as We certainly shall
not know less in the next world than we
know In this. You cannot Justly think, ~
he says, "that the knowledge of the gori-
fled shall be more confused or imperfect
than tho knowledge of natural men on
earth. We shall know much more, but
not so much less. Heaven excecdetn
earth in knowledge, as much as it doth in
Joy. 1t is said expressly, that
our present knowledge shall be done away
only in regard of its imperfectiou; and
not of itsef-which shall be perfected.
= When that which is perfect shall come,
then that which is in part shall be done
away" The truest worth of an earthly
companionship is its fitness to be continued
in eternity.

TIE FAMOUS SULLIVAN FARM.-The
famous Sullivan farm of Illinois is now Il
thing of the past. A short history of this i,
at our time, the largest farm in the world :,
will prove interesting. Ex-Governor
Sullivan was largely connected with gov =
ernment surveys, and through his inilu,
ence, large tract in Ford county, about
100 miles south of Chicago, was entered
as swamp land. This tract the far seeing
ex-governor then bought at about forty
cents per acre. Just in order to round
out his farm nicely, Mr.. Sullivan bought
few adjoining sections, and then had
farm seven miles broad and ten miles
long. During the war Sullivan contract
ed with the government to pasture thou
sands of its worn down horses and mules.
At the close of the war Mr.. Sullivan
turned his attention to farming, being
guided by the ambition to be the largest
farmer in the world. lie owed his failure
to too much discipline. His farm was
divided into three sections. Gangs of
forty plows were at work on each division.
If the first plow sustained break none of
the others could pass it, but must wait
until the damage is repaired. No over.
seer must dsmount to perform any manu-
al labor, no matter how urgent the
demand. No secretary must perform the
most trivial act of labor save what prop
erly belonged to his department. Thus
constant loss was being sustained through
delays and loss of time.
Sullivan had at ono timc twenty eight
thousand acres of corn under cultivation
and employed six hundred laborers.
Failing to got sufficient aid hero, he sent
an agent to Europe and brought over
Germans and Swedes, paying their pas
sage and contracting with them to pay
him in work. The importations would no
sooner get their employer paid, than they
would leave him and set up for them
selves. Besides this drawback tho farm
was being worked by inexperienced
hands, as the Europeans knew but little of
farm work. The grain was hauled to
Gibson, city on the Chicago and Alton
road, and there disposed of at II few cents
bushel. At one time thrce-quarters OF
million bushels of corn wero marketed
through one sale.
Sullivan made an assignment, his farm
was reduced to twenty thousand acres.
and thousands of plows and harrows and
othor tools were sold. Next, the remain
der of the land was sold out in small
tracts and n few days ago Swcdc made
tho last payment on tho last cighty-aore
section of the great Sullivan fLrm. Tx

EUROPE THOUSAND YEARS AGo.-In
the year 800 after Christ, what was the
state of Europe? The Goths, the Vandals.
the Franks, the Huns. the Normans, the
Turks, and other barbarian hordes, had
invaded and ovcrthrown the Roman Em.
pire, and had established various king
doms upon its ruins. These bordes Of
savages had destroyed, not only all the
works ofcviization, but civilization itself.
Ignorant as they were of everything that
distinguishes and elevates human nature
they broke up the schools, !ruined the mon
uments, abolished arts and manufactures,
prevented commerce, and reduced the
conqured nations to their own conditions,
inaugerating in the completest manner the
reign of brute-force and mental darkness.
If they afterwarp lespoused Christianity,
they nodded it to their own savage super.

divine dispenstion but its name, to cover
the most degraded idolatary and demon .
ism.
There enlisted no science worthy of the
name, no schools whatever. Roading,
writing, and ciphering, were soperatc
and distinct trades. The masses, the no
bility, the poor and the rich, were wholly
unaquainted with the mysteries of the
alphabet and the pen. A few mon known
as clerks, who generally belonged to the
priesthood, monopolized them as n special
class of artists. They taught their scmin-
aries, apprentices; and beyond themselves
and their few pupils no one knew how to
read and write, nor was it expected of the
generality, any moro than it would be q
shoemaker or a lawyer. Kings did not
even know how to sign their names, 50
that when they wanted TO subscribe to
written contract, law. or treaty which
some clerk had drawn up for them, they
smear their right hand with ink, and slap
it down on tho parchment saying, "Vit.

genius deviced tho substitute of the seal,
which was impressed instead OF tho hand
but oftencr besides the hand. Every gon-
