II cows must Craze they should have
pastures on which the feed Is plenty and
accessible with the least possible amount
of labor. But 1t is not profitable TO have
cows subsst entirely by grazing, especial
" where land has much value, because 1t
requires so great an area TO support them.
There Is no way in which ground yields
so little food as in pasturing. The surface
may be covered ever so thickly with grass,
vet produce but little TODD, because the
growth is so frequently interrupted and
put back by the injury done by the con-
slant cropping. AS much food will grow
on one acre, where it is allowed 10 grow
without molestation, as will grow on three
acres when mutlated by being bitten of
every few days, the circumstances being In
other respects the same. The costliness of
the grazing system was well illustrated by
the statement of practical farmer recent
lv in a farmers club. He said, when he
began farming a few wears ago on one
hundred acres, he cultivated forty acres IN
meadow and pasture, and found it difficult
10 keep stock equal TO twelve cows. He
has now adopted the plan of cultivating
and gathering the food for his flock, and,
AS a consequence, has reduced his grass
land TO thirty acres, and finds no difficulty
in keeping the equivalent of thirty.six
COWS, and has seventy acres of LAND 10 cul-

A quartet of Mormon missionaries, who
had been operating in North Carolina
for some time, were forced to skip week
ago. They had succeeded in making con-
verts of seven women and three men, the
elders approprlating the women, who were
young and comely, as spiritual wives as
soon as they were converted. Friday ev-
ening of last week the converts were to be
baptized IN Duncan's Creek, Several
hundred people, half Of them women,
gathered on the banks to see the ceremony.
The place was lit up by pine knot torches
The converts and missionaries arrived at
about O'Clock and went into a small
house adjacent. When night fell the con-
verts, male and female, accompanied by
the four missionaries, left the building, all
of them entirely naked. At first there was
a murmur of surprise among the crowd,
soon followed by Kisses, but they did not
interfere with the party. The rite was
performed i'll the middle of the creek,
where the water was waist deep, two OF the
missionaries carrying pine knots IN their
hands. After the ceremony committee
of citizens waited upon the Mormons, and
gave them notice to quit the county at
once, on pain OF summary punishment.
The whole party left next day for Utah.

Great Things, Little Wings.

are little beginnings in nature.
The men who make large for
tunes are those, as rule, who be-

industrious men; men who built
their fortune on small foundation,
but well and truly laid. Careless

One Kindness.

1t is always to the credit of
man to show kindness to child.
If you see a man on the street, or
in railway car, taking pains to
help or crafty child, it gives you
at once better estimate of him. A
man with a somewhat coarse ex-
preston of face, and of unprepos-
sessing appearance generally, was
walking along street in the sub
urbs of Philadelphia. He was no
ticed by two persons approaching
him, and his unattractive manner
and bearing were commented on rs
he drew near. But just before he
reached these passers, the man
stopped and turned aside to help a
poor street-boy struggling under
heavy load Of refuse firewood, The
man lifted the load from the boys
head, balanced it anew, steadied it
until the boy was fairly started
with it, and then spoke a CHEEKY
word to the little fellow. In that
simple, kindly act, the man him
self was TRANSPORTED. There was
now wiDsome look about him.
He had shown himself another per-
son from his outer appearance

True Courage.

The bravest boys are not always
those who are ready for fight. Here
is the story of one who showed the
right spirit when provoked by hi,
comrades:
A poor boy was attending school
one day with a large patch on the
knee Of one Of his trowsers. One
of the schoolmatcs made fun Of hin,
for this, and called him sold
Patch"
"Why don't you fight him %
cried one of the boys. "I'd give it
to him if be called me so.
90" said the boy, you don't
suppose Pm ashamed of my patch,
do you? For my part, I'm thank
full for good mother. to keep me
out Of rags. Tn proud Of nag patch
for her sake"
This was noble. That boy had
the courage that would make him
successful in the struggles of life.
We must have courage in our
struggle if we hope to come out
right.-Seiected.

Let Beer Alone,
BY NJ. L, wINsLoW.

"lt you never drink anything
stronger than that, young man,
you won't come to much harm,

tender, poured out for him a great
glass of foaming ale Beers the
drink to grow strong upon, isn't It,
boys? said he, looking round upon
the group of loungers, Beers the
drink for me" said heavy, bloated
Sam Sawyer, who was so fat he
could hardly move about.
"Does it make you strong to
work ?" said Dir. Barker, who stood
in the background, distinguished
from the group of loungers by his
good clothes and tall beaver hat, as
well as by his general look of re-
spectability.

all the men drink it,
"Does it make them all quarrel
some, and do they all beat their

him he seemed in danger of the

"Who cares for beer? ?" said Mar
tin Murtagh. It's well enough for
women and children. / liked it
once, but l must have something
stronger. Now give me a glass Of
whisky, boy; that warns man."
THAT said the doctor, sis be-
cause the alcohol in the beer has
excited the nerves of your stom-
ach and brain till they crave for
more than can be found in beer
and call for whisky; fire won't be
strong enough to satisfy them by
and by"
"Pshaw! beer never hurt any
one, said Tim Titus, leaning up
on his crutch by the door,
"No?" said the doctor. "How was
it, then, that when you fell and
hurt your leg the hospital doctors
decided that it must be cut off be-
cause beer-drinking had so inhamed
your blood that what would have
been mere scratch to man in a
healthy condition, became a gan
grened sore in you !"
Doctor, you're in the right"
said a quiet, sad-looking man in
the background. Beers wrought
fearful evils to mine and me. My
wife and always drank it at our
meals and never thought it hurt
us. But one night my wife, sup

Climbing the Stairs.
BY MARY A. BARR.

uitbilingering steps and anxious heart
so,,aht my home one suEfmer night;
SONS plan had fail'd, some hope was vain
AraI had fought a weary Eight.
Jfelt,uot in the summer air
The. scent of flowers and Bleaching hay,
7 die,not know the night was fair,
For~shadows of the troubled day.
AMI as L stood within my door,
Still full Of fears, and DOUBTS, and cares,
A clear, sweet voice behind me said,
sI,s lust creeping up stairs!'
turned and saw my little one,
Quite happy in her brave intent,
Asstep by step, with hantsi and feet,
T.p to the very top she went.
1rs, step by step, with hands and feet;
slowly, but still without stop,
Ttuwith a crow of victory
She sat down on the very top,
And stretched out loving hands to me,
Who cIasped her to my fainting breast;
The little angel who hadbrought
Thecheering words of strength and rest.
Csaid, Now, fainting heart, be brave;
See here the image of thy strife;
Ills step by step, with hands and feet,
Ne climb the road of daily life.
gEsstep by step all good We win,
With toiling hands, upon'our knees,
towards and EDWARDS, stepiby step;
But at the top is rest and ease.
And ever after, day by day,
Jboldy faced my many cares;
no. rt = at lor
We're only creeping up the stairs!"
Thus fearing, toilng, hoping still,
Ibid not turn, did not stop,
Tillwith a cry of victory
sat down on the very t0aI.
Butnover in my brightest hour,
Have | forgot the weary day,
The sad, almost despairing walk
Home, in the evening, still and gray;
The Lalf-unspollen prayer 1nade
For help to bear my weigh5 of cares;
The oli4nbing chila-the clear, sweet voice
rs 1rst a-creeping up a'stairs!"

Gelatine Icing for Cake.

Now that the price of eggs is SO
high, it may interest the readers
of the Cabinet to know that frosting
for cake can be successfully made
without any eggs. Take one-half
teaspoon Of gelatine, pour on it
three tablespoons of cold water
and set it on the back of the stove
until it dissolves, strain it, and
when it is entirely cold add three
teaspoons of sugar, and beat with
an egg heater until it is as light
and white as if made from eggs,
and add whatever sugar is needed
to make it the usual stiffness This
will ice one small cake. When
your gelatine is cold, it should not
be as stiff as for jelly, only stiff
enough not to run, and if you find
it is too stiff you can add little
more water, and then only use
three tablespoons Of it.

MATTERS. The nerv

SMALL MATTERS. The nerve Of a
tooth, not so large as the finest cam
brio needle. sometimes drives a
man to distraction. A mosquito
can absolutely make an elephant
mad. The coral rock, which caus-
es a navy to founder is the work of
worms. The warrior that has
withstood death in a thousand
forms may be killed by an insect.
The deepest wretchedness often re-
suits from a perpetual continuance
of petty trials. A chance look from
those we love often produces ex-
quisite pain or ualloyed pleasure.

Repression.

How many live a stingy and
niggardly life in regard to their
richest inward treasures They
live with those they love dearly,
whom g few more words and deeds
expressive of this love would make
SO much happier, richer and bet
ter; and they cannot, VIII not, turn
the key and give it out. People
who in their very souls really dc
love, esteem, reverence almost
worship,each other, live a barren,
chilly life, side by side, busy, anx-
iou2, preoccupiel, letting their
love 60 by as matter Of course, a
last years growth, with no present
buds and blossoms.
Are there not sons and Gaught-
ers who have parents living with
them as angels unawares--husbands
and wives, brothers and sisters, in
whom the material for beautiful
life lies locked away in unfnuitful
silemoe-who give time to every
thing but the cultivation and ex-
press;on of mutual love? The time
is coming, they think, in sooe far
future, when tl4ey shall find Geis-
ure to enjoy each other, to stop
and rest side by side, To discover to
each other these hidden treasures
which lie idle and unused. Alas
time flies and death steals on, and
we reiterate the complaint of one
IN Scripture: III came to pass,
while thy servant was busy hither
and thither, the man was gone"
The bitterest tears shed over
graves are for words left unsaid
and deeds left undone. "She new
er knew how ] loved her." Gle
never knew what he was to me. "
Il always meant to make more OF
our friendship" II did not know
what he was to me till he was
gone" Such words are the pois-
oned arrows which cruel Death
shoots back ward at us from the
door of the sepulchre.
how much more We might make
ot0ur family life, Of our friendships,
II every secret thought Of love bios
somed into deed! We are not
now speaking merely of personal
caresses. These may or may not
be the best language Of affection.
Many are endowed with a delicacy,
a fastidiousness of physical organi-
zation, which shrinks away from
too much Of these, repelled and
overpowered. But there are words
and looks and little observances,
thoughtfulnesses, watchful little
attentions, which speak of love,
which make it manifest, and there
is scarce family that might not
be richer in heart-wealth for more
Of them.

Some time ago man in London,
in quarrel with his wife, struck
her a blow which sent her reeling
against the mantle-piece, when out
fell two guinias rolling on the floor.
A cessation of hostilitics immedi-
ately took place, and search was
made for the source from which
the gold came. The mantle-piece
was examined and removed, and
40 guinies were found concealed
behind it. This result should not
induce any man tc strike has wife,
for it is not very probable that the
same result would follow more than
once out Of one thousand times.
