CHILDREN UP AND GROWING.

JUST AS THEY DID IN THE USED TO BE-"
The mother gathered her children together,
She folded them close to her heart in glee;
For the red sun had brought them rainy weather
And what they should do they never could see.
And they cried in a auerulous tone. Mamma,
Now think back ever and ever so far
And think If you ever had rainy days
That troubled your plans and spoiled tho plays
Aud what you did when they used to be-"
The mother laughed with low soft laughter,
She was Remembering" they could see.
II know, you roTues. what you all are after,
III tell you tale that happened to me-
Me and some little wee bits of girls
With hair as yellow as shaving.curs.
When it raincd for day and night and day,
And we thought il meant to keep on that way,
And we were as tired as tired could be-
"Up in the attic-in lrandmas attic
There's chest of drawers. or there used to be,
Though we had many charge emphatic
Not to 20 near enough to sec,
But one rainy day we opened 1t wide
And strewcd the contents on every side
We dressed ourselves in the queer old caps
And brass buttoned coats with long blue flaps
Yes-wait a minutepapa wants me-"
They waited and waited and waited and waited,
Forty hours 1t SCENE to mel"
Cried weary Kitty with eyes dilated,
Lets do 1t ourselves 1 can find the key'
so they climbed the stair, "as still as a mouse"
lYou might have heard it all over the house)
And they dressed themselves in trailing dresses,
And powdered wigs and hempen tresses,
"Just like they did in the used to be!''
The warning stair kept creaking and squeakng.
There was no time to turn and fee.

ed with two starched muslin ribbons
reminding a Methodist of the picture of
John Wesley, as he appears in Episcopal
garb.
Tho whole service, sermon and all, was
simple and enjoyable. All seemed to have
come TO Dorship. The text was announced
from Job 81: 33. SHOULD it be according
to thy mindp" The discourse was exposi
tory, given wholly without notes, and
delivered in very animated manner. 1t
WAS an appeal to leave our interests in
the hands of Providence, rather than
undertake to direct them ourselves. Our
steps were ordered of the Lord, and though
He might sometimes put us into severe
school of discipline, the end will prove
the wisdom of the method employed. If
we are "soldiors," and Christ is our Cap
tain, we must consent to be "drilled."
There is large hearted'aess in the manner,
and matter of DR.. Halls disconrses that is
very attractive. He seems to feel for
you. to speak to you, AMI to take you,
with all your perplexities, into his great
heart. You are impressed that all who
worship at this church are one great
Christian family, with their pastor as
counsellor and guide. We shook hands
with this able and excellent man, and
passed reluctantly to the street again. Ii
can hatdiy be possible that one C n attend
upon such ii ministryand not be refreshed. -
May the bow of this metropolitan
preacher long abide in strength.
At 7.30. we found our way to the Madi
son avenue Congregational church, Rev.
j. T. Newman ID. d., supply" The
rain was descending and only about 200
gathered in "A room that would seat ten
times that number. This churches out
ward architectual appearance is attractive,
but not SO soithin. The white ribbed
walls, and the darkly stained seats were
an unpleasant contrast. The pulpit and
choir are Insignificant. If this was Dr.
Hepworlh's 8 taste, we believe it needs cul
tivating. The most expensive ornament
that this church can boast is $4,000
Indebtedness. DR.. Newman spoke on
"Christianity Beneicent." He did not
appear TO have his usual "liberty." Pos
sbly the small audience had something
to do with it. 1t is limited that this Metho
dist "loc,l preacher is beginning to
experience rather cold time at this
church. Possibly an old fashioned revival
would help matters somewhat.

Sour milk fed to hogs worth $3.50, calves
sold and raised 5000, making the entire
product of the dairy $3.054 70. 1t will
be seen that very little of this statement

Judge thinks he has made the figures low.
Who says Vermont dairyng properly
conducted will not pay? But the judge
has an excellent dairy farm Of $50 acres,
splendid set of buildings, and everything
comfortable for stock and as handy as il

Jerseys, 4 full blooded and the others
hree-quarters and seven-cighths. He is

A NEGLECTED DIsINFECTANT.-W When
he household of our grandmothers was
threatened with infection. the common
practice was to sprinkle birthstone on Il
not shovel or on hot Goals on a hot shovel.
md carry the burning result through the
house, But now, this simple method ol
iisinfecting has gone out oil fashion with
out any good and sufficient reason. The
principal reason is neuher good nor sufi
that nobody can patent it and
sell it in shilling and half crown bottles.
On the 18th or September last, NJ. d.Abba-
die read at the academy of sciences on
.'Marsh Fevers," and stated that in the
dangerous regions of African river mouths
immunity from such fevers is often secur-
ed by sulphur fumigations on the naked
body. Also that the Silician workers in
low ground sulphur mines suffer much
less than the rest of the surrounding pop
ulatjon from intermittent fevers. M. Fou
quo has shown that Zsphyria (on the
Volcano island of Milo or Melos, the
most westerly ofthe Cyclades,) which had
a population of 10000 when it was the
centre of sulphur mining operations,
became nearly depopulated by marsh fever
when the sulphur mining was moved
further east, and the emanations prevented
by a mountain from reaching the town.
Other similar cases were stated. 1t is
we'll understood by chemists that bleach
ing agents are usually good disinfectants.

SACRED SONG.

AL walked one lovely morning
Through our city's quiet street..
My attention was arrested
BY the sound of music sweet,
Borne upon the morning breezes
As it sweetly rose and fell.
Now with soft harm onious cadence,
Now with sweet and gentle swell.
And listened all enraptured
70 the voice of sacred Sung,
Coming from passing carriage.
As 1t slowly moved along.
"Guide me, oh thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land,
II am weak but t GU art mighty,
'TIold me with thy powerful hand.
Still listened, still that music
Floating on the morning air
And my heart was lifted upward
On the wings of that sweet prayer.
Still the sound came floating, floating
ThrouEh the trees the voices rang
Waited by t inspiration
o. the words they sweetly sang.
Rich soprano. love y alto.
Deepest bass and tenor strong,
Harmony almost celestial
Blended with that sacred song.
'0nen thou RI that crystal luntain,
whence the healing waters flow,
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
LEAD me all my journey through.
Still I watched that.plssing carriage
AS is slowly moved away,
Tothe house ot,Rrief and mourning,
Where tho dead in silence lay.
but there came from out the distance
As the chorus died away,
Whispers like the voice of angels,
And in song l heard them say
"When pass the gloomy Jordan
"Bt1 my anxious fears subside
Bear me through the swelling currant
Land me safe on Canaan's side"
And blessed them for their music,
by the breezes borne along,
And I thanked the Heavenly father
For the gift of sacred song.

INDIFFERENCE.

How little it matters to us sometimes
As tho years go drifting over,
Whether the earth be clad III green,
Or draped with snow white cover
How little it matters to us sometimes
If the sun be high in the heavens;
Orif the mists on the wings of the wind
Make midday as black as even.
How little we care ii the flowers bloom ont,
And the bird, and the wild bee love them:
Or whether the touch of the black frost falls
In deadly blight above them.
How little we care in life sometimes
If Others have dearih or funess;
The sound of their signs or their merriment,
Falls only on ears of dullness
How little 1t matters to us sometimes
When. whisper the eager living:
Your blessings will comet" Too late, alas.
'Tis for all but deaths last giving.
