Preparation for Church.

Probably for many households the
hours before church are hurried, tumul-
tuous and undevout. The family rise
late, and breakfast is tardy. The chill
dren are harassed about shoes, gloves,
and lost or mislaid articles of dress.
The parents have not fully recovered
from the fatigue of the business or
pleasure on Saturday night. The first
bell peals out it's summons before any
body feels ready to hear it, and the
progress to the place Of prayer is
scramble to arrive before the anthem
shall have been concluded. DR.. Ar
rott, of Scotland, used to beg his peo-
pie to spend the hour before coming to
church in meditation and prayer
If it were the habits of our congrega-
tions thus prepared in heart to go to
the sanctuary how different might be
the impression made on them by SER
mons and public prayers. Had every
disciple made the pastor, the week
long, the subject of reverent, anxious,
earnest prayer, would nor the pastor
enter the pulpit clothed with power
from on high, and would not the bene-
diction return with ten-fold largeness
on the worshippers themselves?-

Angel Visits.

We speak of these as bein , "few an
far between" The conception is de
rived from the Scripture description:
of them, as the messengers presented
themselves in bodily shape to those to
whom they were sent Our truer con-
csption is that they are about US of.
ten-all the time, as mnistering spirits
sent forth to minister to those who are
the heirs OF salvation. As such We
look for them, rejoice in them, and be-
lieve that in our lives we owe much to
their guidance and other influence.
The Biblical representation of an
angel was that of man A female
angel is not in all the list. We have
changed all that, and despite the i'm
pressions produced by our familiarity
with the Scriptures, our imagery of
them is habitually clothed in forms
that are feminine. This is partly due
to our changed habits. In the oldcn
time man was almost invariable FORE
most in generous movements and ben
evolent work, while the women were
required to remain in private places
and attend to grosser cares. In these
later days the men have surrendered
the gentler duties more and more to
their wives and daughters, and the
ministery that we expect to be most
gentle and effective is looked for from
them.
1t is a blessed thing to win the
name of an angel if it is done in imita-
tion OF the habits and practices of those
of whom we read as sent of God.
They were uniformly bent on some
kindness. None of them came to
please themselves. They were not
recreating They sought the homes
and hearts Of pain, and assisting in
work or relieving from difficulty, they
gave strength to bear burdens and
carry cares 1t is doubtful whether
we have sufficiently kept this concep-
ton IN the foreground. Our earthly
angels are apt to be pretty, attractive,
graceful and useless They fit about
in easy places. as if it was the main
end oflife to enjoy it, and the haunts
of sorrow and WEAKNESS are almost I'M.
known to them. II one were to 60 to
find them, he would never think of 60
ing to sick bed or a home of trials,
but would ask about the social arrange
ments of the neig ghborhood and especial
ly the parties of pleasure.
And yet there are the other kind,
only that they are not named as they
deserve. Hundreds of women, young
and old, do angels service in painful
places " here they are more likely to
be unnoticed than praised; or if spoken
of at all, they are described as common
place people who have taken very
dark view of life. But God knows
them, and in his own time and way he
will give them right acknowledgment.

The Eaect Of OIL ON wafer.

What is regarded as a complete
demonstration of the value of oil 10
diminishing the violence OF heavy seas,
was made at Peterhead, near Perth,
England. March l, by John Shields
Having chosen Peterhead as the
most suitable place for his experiment,
Mr.. Shields caused iron and lead pipes
10 be laid from the beach into the sea
in front of the entrance to the haroor
A force pump was attached to the land
end of the piping, and near it was a
large barrel containing one hundred
gallons of oil. On March /, Mr..
Shields. having been informed by the
Meteorological Office that the sea was
rough at Peterhead, went thither from
Perth, accompanied by several sea-far-
ing men from Dundee and Aberdeen.
When the white-crested waves were
rising to height of ten to twenty feet
at the harbor entrance, the oil pump
was put in motion, causing the oil to
spread in the bottom of the sea, and
on its gradually rising to the surface,
the white foam entirely disappeared,
and although the swell continued, the
surface Of the sea was perfectly smooth.
so that ship or small boat could
have entered the dock without the
slightest danger-an impossibllity be-
fore the oil was distributed in the
water. The experiments satisfied the
who witnessed them. Mr..
Shields is willing to give any harbor
board the benefit of his invention, and
render assistance in carrying it out.

One day peasant who was work.

kill no more sheep

hope that you will stick to your res
olution.'
oh, certainly shall, and 1 hope
you will give me due credit in the
future
The wolfe took his departure with q
sweet bow and q melting smile, and
the peasant softly scratched the back
of his neck aud did heap of thinking.
That night he placed large trap at
the weak point Of his calf-pen, and the
next morning he found the wolf held
firm and fast
Excuse my embarrassment, began
the wolf, as the peasant appeared,
but why did you move this trap from
the sheep fold?'
Because replied the peasant, as he
hunted around for club, experience
has taught me that a ~olf who is
tired of mutton is simply workin up
an appetite for veal.

Standing i'm Prayer.

Standing was the usual posture for
prayer in the East, the hands being
out-stretched and open, as in Mussul-
man.devotion at the present day, and
as is seen in the representations in the
Catacombs. This standing posture
still prevails throughout the East; but
all traces of it have disappeared
throughout the Western church, ex-
cept-as Dean Stanley observed-"in
the attitude of the officiating minister
at the Bucharest, and in the worship Of
the Presbyterian churches always"
What renders the general abandon
ment of this posture the more remark.
able is that, as he observes, it was en-
joined by the only Canon of the Coun-
ell of Nice, which only related to pub
lie worship. This Canon prescribed
that on every Sunday, and on every
day between Easter and Pentecost.
kneeling should be forbidden and stand
ing enjoined One more the Dean de-
lights to notice is curious instance of
cross purposes in the contest between
the Church and the Puritans in the
seventeenth century, on the question
whether kneeling at the Sacrament
should be enforced. 1t was the point,
says the Dean, on which the Church
most passionately insisted, and which
the Puritans most passionately resist
ed. The Church party in this were re,
sisting the usage of ancient Catholic
Christendom, and disobeying the
Canon of the First Gcumenical Coun.
Gil, to which they professed the COM
plete adhesion. The Puritans, who
rejected the authority of either, were
in the most entire conformity with
both.-Quarterly ReUieau.

Making the Crows Useful.

w. 5. Morgan, Somerset county,
Pa, in view of the fact that the corn
planting season is as hand, gives his
experience, which We commend to those
who look upon the crows as an enemy.
He Gays: For the past five seasons.
! have, just before expected my corn
to come up, sowed on the field about .
quart of corn to each acre, and
repeated the operation as often as
necessary, until the corn was so
large that tie crows could not
pull it up. If the corn is soaked
until tender they prefer pick
ing what they want to eat from the
surface rather than to pull the young
plants to get it. The cost of the corn
thus sown is but tride; as a result
I have great number of crows almost
constantly in my corn6old. and after
they have been satisfied with corn they
will still pick up all the insects they
can find, as desert In raising fifty
acres of corn since adopting this plan,
| have not lost hundred stalks by
crows and cut worms combined.'-

POETRY.
WHITTIER ON LONGFElLOW.

With glory of winter sunshine
Over his locks of gray,
In the old historic mansion,
He sat on his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pictures
And his household and his kin,
While sound as of myriads singing
From far and near stole in.
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prsirie's ooundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset,
And the cedar woods of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistening eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his country's children
Were singing songs of him.
The lays of his life's glad morning,
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every cline.
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds of cheer,
Came fiocking back to his windows,
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender
The music rose and fell,
With a JOY akin to sadness,
And greeting like farewell.
With sense ofawe, he listened
To the voices, sweet and young;
The last of earth and the first of heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come,
He heard the summoning angel
Who calls Gods children home.
And to him, in a holier welcome,
Was the mystical meaning given
OF the words of the blessed Master:
"Of such is the kingdom of Heaven"

Comfort from Newspapers.

Many years ago, in one OF the severe
winters when there was much hard
ship among the poor, a city paper
suggested that old newspapers, spread
over the bed, would form an excellent
substitute for blankets and coverlets.
This brought upon the Journal q great
deal of harmless redicule from other pa
pers, but it brought comfort to many
a poor family. In the matter of he'd
clothing, especially, We are apt to as
sociate warmth with weight, and do
not consider that there is no warmth
in the coverings themselves, but that
they merely prevent the heat OF the
body from passing off Whatever is q
poor conductor of heat will make a
warm covering. Paper itself is q poor
conductor, but still poorer are the
thin layers Of air that are confined
when two or three newspapers are laid
upon one other. A few newspapers
laid over the bed will keep one much
warmer than some of the heavy, close
woven blankets. We do not pro pose
newspapers to blankets and comforters,
but it is enc Of those make-shifts thst
it is well to know. In travelling one
may, by the aid Of few papers, secure
. comfortable rest in thinly-clad bed,
and if we cannot afford to give desti-
tute family q blanket or comforter,
we may show them how to increase
the usefulness of their thin coverings by
stitching a few layers of newspapers
between them. 1t may be well to re-
mind those growing window.plsnts
that by removing them away from the
window, and arranging q cover OF
newspapers over them, they may be
preserved from harm in severely cold
nights. With the plants, as with our.
selves, it is not SO much that cold
comes in as that the heat goes of, and
often slight protection will prevent
the escape of heat--American Agri-
cuHurist

them to specify quotation.
