Captain Joseph E. Dutton is name
not only well known in Boston port as
the commander of the steamship Sar-
i dinian, of the Allan Line. but as prac-
| teal Christian in his efforts for the
moral and spiritual welfare of landsmcn
| and sailors. The Captain is an English
man with a fine physique and that
hearty, cheerful manner that invariably
/ marks the sailor He loved the sea from
/ boy, and has made his home on it for
years. He was light-hearted boy, gay
| and reckless.
In1847, Captain Dutton was on board
| a New Bedford Whaler in the Pacific
Ocean. He says in a letter to Rev. H.
A. Cook, of Boston:
- We had been re-ftting in the bay of
the island. / went on board Of ship
from New Bedford, that was going home
full of oil, and asked some of the crew
if they had any novels to give away, but
they said they had given away all they
had. One of the men said: L have
some religious books, if you will have
them.'ss said: Let me have them;
they viii do me no harm if they'll do me
no good. l was wild, swearing young
fellow, and sometimes drank when
ashore; but not from any love of evil,
but simply going with the crowd
While ashore in New Zealand, | had
been drunk, and swore with an oath
that l would never go in the ship again.
After leaving port one day. and
having nothing to do, I thought would
look over the books that had been given
to me. There were seven together.
The first was The Swearer's PRAYER
the next: Lowest Thou Me?' and the
last: What it is to Love the Lord Jesus
Christ They were published by the
American Tract Society.
ssAfter reading them I did not feel
right. I never swore after that, and
found myself checking those who did.
For three months [ was in great ag-
ony of soul, until one night, when on
watch, was enabled to cast myself on
Christ as my Savior and trust my souls
interests to Him.
Captain Dutton sought to reform his
shipmates, and when the vessel returned
to New Bedford she brought with her
five men whose character had been
changed during the voyage.
Since that time this good Captain has
been true to his religious principles. He
holds religious services and breaches on
his vessels. He receives many letters
from passengers who have sailed in his
ship, dating their religious impressions
from having the Word preached from
the chart-room.
Captain Dutton has sold over one
thousand eight hundred Bibles the past
year, beside lending and giving away
many copies. He relies mostly in his
Christian work on distributing Gods
Word.
Every evening at sea the Captain has
religious service with the seamen, and
every Sunday morning at sea or in
port. -....--.s.~s
The hand that gave this man the re-
ligious reading hardly knew what it
did. But it was stretched out for the
welfare of another soul. Hands that
reach out to others from this motive are
like viewless angels; in the mysteries of
time, the golden grain shall respond to
the sowing. -Youtb's Companion.

Toll AND SORROW.

What ID This hear men say,
at labor sighings heavily
:" Sorrow like the thievlsh night
Stoals the light of life away.
" Ifo, we toll, yet toll in vain:
Sorrow fills our lives with pain;
Struggle as we struggle may,
Death, at last, is all our gain!
= 0 my brothers, In the night
Signing for the morning light,
Will We never learn to read
God great purposes Alright?
If all days went merrily,
Would the night fall happily?
1t the dark rain never fell,
Would the rainbow flush the sky?
All, if we Alright could see
If, as once in Galilee, =
Sightless eyes were healed with clay
Our eyes might anointed be;
Then we'd see the vision grand
How along life's pathway stand
Angels, where we saw but harm,
Bearing gifts in either hand.
And among them, brighter far
Than the white light of star.
Tender-hearted messengers
) Toll and Sorrow chiefest are.

Mushrooms.

The fear that mushrooms may be poison
deters many from making use of this
savory and nourishing but treacherous
vegetable. At this season, when the fields
abound with wild mushrooms. and when
multitudes might find in them cheap and
enjoyable addition to the daily bill of fare
if they were not afraid to eat them, it is a
matter OF considerable Importance to have
the real standing of fungi as food stufls
made clear. According to recent inves,i-
cations by Prot. Ponfick OF Breslau, the
question seems to be, not how to dis
tinguish poisonous from harmless species,
but how TO treat mushrooms of every sort
in such way AS to remove or neutralize
the poison which they all contain, with
the proper precaution of using this class
of food stuiis at all times with moderation.
Professor Pontick finds that repeated
washing with cold water removes most of
the poison of mushrooms. and cooking.
especially boiling, dissolves out the rest.
The water in which mushrooms are boiled.
however. is always poisonous. more So
even than raw mushrooms. Experiments
made upon dogs showed that if dog ate
one per cent of its own weight of raw
mushrooms. it fell sick. but recovered;
one and a half per cent produced violent
illness; and il the dog ate two per cent of
its weight. the result was always death
OF boiled mushrooms dogs ate ten per
cent of their weight without harm. When
the mushrooms were well washed with
cold water. a larger quantity could be
eaten raw without bad effects than was
possible with those that We're not washed;
but simple washing never removed the
poison entirely. Dried mushrooms were
found to be dangerous for twenty days,
and also the water in which such mush-
rooms had been boiled. They were not
really safe until after four months drying
The moral is: treat all mushrooms as pois
onous; carefully throw out the water in
which they have been washed or boiled
cook them well, and never eat them in
large quantities.
In preparing mushrooms for the table.
safety is assured, not by looking for speci
tic characteristics supposed to indicate
harmlessness, but in considering all as
poisonous and requiring judicious treat
ment to destroy or remove their noyious
qualities. This properly attended to,
mushrooms and many other fungi are not
only edible, but really delicious and val
liable TODD stuffs

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
OF the body, and unless ii is pure
and rich, good health is impossible
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way TO drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and ii will
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
