SYMPATHY.-One of the principal charms
of women lies in their quick sympathy
They are pre-eminently gifted with that
rapid impressionaHlity that puts them en-
ruppon with their surroundings. Many
thus endowed, however, lack the sustained
force that gives cohesion to character. The
influences withdrawn that called forth the
emotion, the purpose borne with it begins
to flag. 7 These impulsiye sympathisers re-
ioice with the happy and mourn with the
sad they give smile for smile and tear for
tear but the moment you leave them they
forget you, and the object of your joy or of
your pain is as nothing to them. For the
time being they are entirely sincere; hy-
pocrisy or affectation has not entered into
the tokens of feeling they have shown;
they have simply been impelled by the
impression of the moment. This kind of
sympathy answers better to the definition
of the modern philosopher than that which
inspired the injunction of the wise man,
"Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the
sadness of the countenance the heart is made
better"

THE M E. CHURCH, /
SYNOPSIS Of IT'S SEPARATIONS y IN iEt YoRr- lE

SYNOPSIS of IT'S OPERATIONS IN YORK
COUNTY.
There are, I believe, all told, twenty Or
ganized churches and nineteen church build
ings within York county, valued at seven
teen @tbeasandspd fifty tdeHars, with q mssln- mpslls
The Sunday-school department number
ed the past year eighty-four officers and
teachers and six hundred and forty-one
pupils. The design, Of the Sunday-schools
IS not only to tteaeh' the theory, but also
the experience and practice of Christianity
What an open door is this to enter and
work for the 91f0stert: How desirable that
the children, all, should be brought saving
ly to a knowledge of Christ as their indi-
vidual Saviour! And these all combine in
unity with the fifteen hundred and five
membeEss as workers together with God in
the accomplishment Of the glorious purpose
of his grace!
Thus twenty-one hundred and forty-six
persons, young and old, banded together in
faith and prayer and effort, with the blessing
of the Lord upon their labors, would be IN
strum tai in the accomplishment of much
good. If each brought but one additional
person to become religious, in year, what
a move this would be all along the line
And why not? Methodism was born and
nurtured in revival. Is there not a
necessity for a more active work OF grace
to-day? Should we relax our hold for a
moment, either in regard to our doctrine (as
set forth in the Standard of Doctrine in our
church) or our polity or peculiar usages as a
church, when God has often and signally
blessed these instrumentalities in the saliva
ton of souls?
The set time to favor Zion has come! "Be-
hold now is the accepted time! Behold now
is the day of salvation !" Would it not be
we'll for the churches to consider in some
way the necessity Of a more united effort
Hrthe advancement of the salvation which
is of our Lord Jesus Christ, through the in
strumentality of Methodism in York coun-
ty?
Dove not need moving up on the part OF
the membership along the line of Christian
experience and Christian practice? ? Do we
not, in some eases, iaol,tlge in things forbid
den ? Are we not pledged to renounce the
Devil and all his works, so that we will not
follow or be led by them? May we not have
more thorough conservation and baptism OF
the Spirit? Might not our children be more
fully instructed in regard to our church, as
to both polity and doctrine?

Two OR THREE NEW ONEs.-It was two
or three years ago that the owner of a grist
mill on creek in New Hampshire, having
capacity of about fifteen barrels per day,
entered the mill one morning and said to
his son:
"John, I've been thinking"
"Yes, dad"
"Flour is too low"
"She is that"
eve are all grinding too much."
"We are"
eff we grind less -four the market will
stiffen up and prices will advance"
''That's it dad; your head is as long as a
mill race"
The mill was shut down for four months,
and at the end of that time flour was just as
plenty and the price was no higher.
"John, rve been thinking" said the
old man as he concluded to start up again.
"Of how we missed it 2"
"Exactly. You see my idea of shutting
down was all correct, and calculated to les
sen the supply and increase the demand,
and couldn't think what in Halifax was
the matter. I've got her now"
"What ?" *
"Why, jist about the time we shet down
they must have started up two or three new
six barrel mills over in Yarmouth, and
hence the market continued doverstocked!" !"-

BUTTER RECORDS.

The farmer who makes an average of over
225 pounds year from his COWS is first
class dairyman, and this is only about -four
and half pounds a week per cow for the
year. Think of raising this. yield from four
and half 10 the neighborhood of twenty
pounds, and see how the average flies up.
Two or three COWS would then be, able to
perform what whole herds afenoMt required
to do, with corresponding and remarkable
increase in the profit resulting from. the
natural saving of feeding but three or four
COWS, instead of twelve or fifteen. What is
the dairyman to say about it? 1t is con-
summation devoutly to bewished. If these
men can by certain lines of breeding create
these phenomenal mixers, we say by all
means 60 ahead and do it, for the plain
dairyman will eventually be able to take
advantage of the result. Z J..
How these wonderful mixers are to be
produced with degree of certainty that
will warrant all men in undertaking their
production, it is probably too early to in
quire. Long lines Of experiments are to be
tried with various families: These trials
will be attended with some success and
much disappointment But the reward to
the successful breeder will be very great,
and we are glad to see that the effort to es-
tablish breed of heavy butter makers has
enlisted the pride and capital of our rich
and amateur farmers. TO carry out we'll
planned designs, with this end in view, Of
ten requires the aid of large capital and
much risk, suclras no one but an enthusiast
would be willing to devote to it. We there
fore welcome the efforts of the gentlemen,
and hope some day to sec whole herds of
cattle bearing the deer-like forms of the
typical Jersey and yielding at rate of
twenty-five pounds of butter week when
flush, or in the neighborhood of a thousand
pounds per COW for the season. That this
can be done is perhaps too.much to predict
at this early stage of the experiment, but
as individual COWS have been known to ap-
proximate it, there is no reason why with
time and skill others may not be made to
equal and surpass it. No man is safe in lin
iting the capacity ofan Americanto to improve
things; and we see no reason why he should
not excel with the milk COW as he has with
the trotting horse, and moreover he will

THUMB PoRTRAITs.-If the "ball," or
cushion-like surface Of the top joint Of the
thumb be examined, it can be seen that in
the centre-as, indeed, in the fingers also
is kind of spiral formed Of fine grooves in
the skin. The spiral is, however, rarely, If
ever, quite perfect there are irregularities,
or places where lines run into each other
here and there. Examining both thumbs,
it will be seen that they do not exactly
match; but the figure on each thumb is the
same through life. If the; thumbs of any
two persons are compared, it will further be
found that no two are alike. There may
be, and generally is, a "family resemblance
between members Of the same family, as in
other features there are. also national char
acterisstics but the Individuals differ. All
this is better seen by taking "proof impress
sions" of the thumb. This is easily done by
pressing it on slab covered with film of
printers ink and then pressing it on piece
of white paper or little aniline dye, In
dian ink-almost anything-may be used.
The Chinese take advantage of all this to
identify their important criminals, at least
in some parts of the Empire. We photo
graph their faces they take impressions
from their thumbs. These are stored away,
and if the delinquent should ever again fall
into the hands of the police, another i'm
preston at once affords the means of COM
patison. The Chinese saythat, conside ring
the alteration made in the eountenance by
hair and beard, and the power many men
have of distorting or altering their actual
features, ETC., their method affords even
more certain and easy means Of identified
ton than our plan Of taking the criminals
portrait. Perhaps we might with advan-
tage take leaf out of their. book.-From

one morning in a stage coach. His only

into conversation.
After awhile the stranger drew cigar
case from his pocket and offered its contents
to Mr.. Greedy for him to take from ita cigar.
He declined the polite offer, and the con-
versation was resumed. Presently the gen
tleman, takinga cigar from the case, put it
in his mouth and returned the case to his
pocket. While they were talking he alb
ruptly but courteously remarked to MIR.
Greely:
II hope, sir, you have no objection to

7'None in the world" answered Greedy,

PRESERVE THE FoREsTs.-One of the
encouraging signs of the times is the fact
that the South is waking up to the value of
it's timber lands. "The lumber interests
of the United States, and in fact of the whole
world" says The Southern Latna6e1naa'a,
"have assumed such important proportions
that it is due to the people that our State
Government should establish a series of
surveys and investigations, with view OF
determining the exact amount oftheir forest
wealth, and that in time the general Gov
ernment, through its proper department,
should publish in statistical form the result
of each States timber resources. While
this authentic report would be of great
value to commerce, the presence of the
botanists and their assistants in every por-
ton of the States and territories would
arouse the people to sense of wealth con,
tanned in their forest possessions, and would
perhaps stimulate them to more economi-
cal use of the timber, and make them more
careful about preserving it; at any rate,
the timber, its extent, variety and value,
should be made known at as early a date
as possible"
