Disinterested BenevOlence Illustrated.

The Rev. William G.. Shauffl Or, ID. D..
late veteran missionary at Constantine
pie, while at Audover Theological Sem.
mary gave an address before the Porter
rhetorical society, September 20, 1880. in
which he illustrated disinterested beney-
olence by statement of the following
fact " A stone bridge was about to be
carried away by flood of water, on which
stood dollhouse with family. The
part of the bridge connecting it with the
land was carried away, while the house
and family remained insulated aud liable
soon to be carried away. In this situa.
ton the distressed family were seen by
spectators on the shore. A young noble
man rode up and down the bank, holding
out purse of gold as reward to any one
who would risk his life to save the fam
lily. At length farmer volunteered in
boat, amidst the fosming and laundering
of the water and the fearful apprehension
of all looking on, and rescued all the fam
lily about to be lost. No sooner had the
last boatload reached the shore than the
bridge and the house were carried away.
Here says the nobleman, is your
money What you have to give, be-
stow it upon this poor family, who have
lost their all, said the farmer. Here was
disinterested benevolence. 1t is self-forget.

Asleep in Peril.

Sin is an anodyne. The Word of God
teaches us that every sinners state is not
only one of guilt, but a state of moral
slumber. Every unconverted man is-in
Gods sight-asleep. Natural sleep locks
up the physical senses under its spell, and
if the sleeper dreams, he actually regards
his visions as solid realities. So is it with
the sinner he does not recognize his fear.
full guilt he no more sees himself in the
mirror of Gods Word than a man who is
fast asleep can see himself in the looking
glass held before him. He is blind TO the
terrors of the wrath to come, and to the
claims of God and the alluring offers of
heaven. You may set before sleeper the
most magnificent pictures of Raphael, or
the most terrific productions of the pencil
of Dore, and they are both no more to him
than dead blank wall. So have |, and
others ministers of Christ, set before i'm
penitent sinners, a hundred times, the lows
of true religion and the certain, ineyita.
BILE doom of sin; yet We produce no i'm.

The Two Voices.

One thing is certain. Sin can make us
suffer, but it can never give us solid salts
faction. 1t can torment, but it can never
tranquilize. What powerful picture of
a soul without God is that drawn in the
prophecy of Isaiah, which describes it as
"troubled sea, whose waters cast up
mire and dirt This is the work of
memory. Let the wrong-doer try to hide
his sins as carefelly or to bury them as
deeply as he knows how, memory will
throw them to the surface as troubled
waters heave up what has been flung into
their depths. When vessel had sunk in
Lake Erie an effort was made to raise the
bodies of the drowned passengers by firing
a cannon over the spot; and the Jar
brought them up. So the tremendous ar
tillery of Gods justice-manned by those
two gunners, memory and conscience
brings up to our eyes the hideous sins
which we thought were buried forever
Conscience utters two great voices. Oae
of them declares, Great peace have they
who love Gods law; in keeping his com
mandments is great reward" The other
voice is, There is no peace to the wicked ;
they are like the troubled sea which can
not rest the wages of sin is death !"
just in proportion as we hear and heed
these voices conscience becomes our sweet
est comforter or our most terrible tor
mentor.-Dr. I. L. Cuyler.

How to put on Strength.

How, then, shall we put on strength
We answer, on our knees No man ever
puts on spiritual strength except on his
knees. 1t was there that Jacob found it
when he had "power with God and pre-
vailed" 1t was there that the apostles
found it. When Peter stood forth and
preached to the multitude, the day of
Penteco9t was the day of power. 1t was
the Spirits power. But how did the
apostles put it on Upon their knees, in
those days of prayer, in the upper cham
Der in Jerusalem. o brethren, it is upon
our knees that the church must now put
on its strength " Awake awake " 1t
is Gods call. When we ourselves have
risen to the consciousness of our need,
we may then take hold upon God and
cry, "Awake, awake, y arm of the Lordl"
Let us put on the strength of the word, as
the apostle did when he stunned not to
declare the whole counsel of God. Let
US put on the strength of the ministry, as
Paul did when he went forth in the full
ness of the blessing of the gospel of
peace. Let US put on the strength of the
Spirit, as the early church did when it
was endued with power from on high.
Then shall our work be "mighty through
God, to the pulling down of strongholds."
Then shall we return from the conflict as
Israel did from the pursuit of the INDIAN
ties, exclaiming, " The sword of the Lord
and of Gideon " Then shall the church
be "praise in all the EARTH" and men
shall say, Who is she that looketh forth
as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as
the sun, and terrible as an army with ban
ners ?"-Dr. w. NJ. Patton.

The Vermont Pathological Report,

was no action at all, or only kind of ner-
vous twitching of the fingers; more es-
pecially as the hand moved and rested
upon the lower part of the back, where the
speaker was suffering almost incessant
pain. As he went on, beneath the deep
ening evening shades falling through the
windows Of the old chapel, his voice first
chained and then charmed and fascinated
his hearers one after another; the whole
place seemed as if beneath great spell.
As he talked about "the end" the spell
upon the people seemed to begin to work
itself out into an awful, fearful restless
ness first one, then another, rose from
their seats, and stood stretching forward
with kind of fright and wonder. Still
there was no action, only the following on

cry OF apt and melodious words, but
through them "the end of all things F"
sounded like some warning bell. More
people rose, stretching forward. Many of
those who rose first, as if they felt some
strange power upon them, they knew not
what got up and stood upon their seats
until, when the great master ceased, clos
ing his passionate and pathetic accents,
the whole audience was upon its feet, in
tensely alive with interest, as if each one
had heard in the distance the presages
and preludes of the coming end, and felt
that it was time to prepare. My friend
used to speak of that never forgotten mo-
ment, that summer evening in the old
chapel, as one of the most memorable of
his life.-Reu. e. Patton Hood, in Pulpa

affected branches. The crab apples all
produce much finer fruit on young than
on old trees, but liberal msnuring will
help to keep up the size and fairness SO
important in this class of fruits. There
are crabs far superior to Transcendent,

which can be had of Michigan nursery

consult Mr.. Robert Miller of Battle Creek

member of the Michigan Pathological

for 1882.

A Holy Life.

A holy life is made up of number of
small things: Little words, not eloquent
speeches or sermons; little deeds, not
act or mighty martyrdom, make up the
true Christian life. The little, constant
sunbeam, not the lightning; the waters
of Sloan "that go softly" in the meek
mission of refreshment, not the waters
of the river, great and many" rushing
down in noisy torrents, are the true sym.
bols of holy life. The avoidance of lit
tie evils, little sins, little inconsistencies,
little weaknesses, little follies, indiscre-
tions and imprudences, little foiblss, lit
tie indulgences of the flesh the avoid
ances of such little things as these go far
to make up, at least, the negative beauty
of holy life.-Bonar.

Mortgages.

One investment company in New York
city has upwards Of $20,000,000 in farm
mortgages, mostly on western farms. The
money draws seven per cent, and upwards,
and is obtained in Europe at four per cent. +,
30 that the annual profits to the invest
ment company are about 100000. There
are perhaps dozen such companies in
New York city alone, and there are pri-
vate investors, now that money is plenti-
full, all over the country, so that there is
no lack of opportunity to get mortgages
on farms. But so hard are they to get off
that, Notwithstanding the fact that inves-
tors will not generally loan more than a
third or half of the value of the securi.
ty offered, broker who deals largely in
farm mortgages, recently said to the writ
er that, as rule, mortgages are not paid.
That is to say, when farm is once mort
gagged, it, in majority of instances, re-
mains so for long time. If one mortgage
is paid, another is made to raise the mon
ey. If it is foreclosed, it is very rare that
anything is paid back to the farmer. If
it is sold, it often continues to be traded
around until it gets into the hands of
some one who uses it in buying the land,
and SO gets satisfied" Money at seven
per cent. will double in ten years, if the
interest is kept invested. If the farmer
carries mortgage of say $4,000 for thirty
years, it will cost him, at seven per cent. +,
about $4,000 for the use of the $4,000.
This enormous figure, obtained by COM
putting interest at seven per cent. on the
amounts paid, is more than fair estima-
ton of the cost of such a mortg age, for
the farmer can doubtless always invest
his money in something which will yield
him seven per cent.

Fence Breakers.

Hunger knows no law. And the poor

that divide the space allotted to them
from the cornfeld or garden beyond.
What pity to spoil fine, gentle, peace

Flies and short pasture prevent her from
getting full rations. Driven by the pangs
of hunger, the poor animal wanders back
and forth along the fences, viewing visit
fully the juicy green corn-blades on the
other side, just beyond her reach. The
longer she gazes at them, the better thew
look; the savory scent enters her nostrils
aggravatingly, and she suffers all the tor.
lures of Tantalus. At last she forces
her nose through between the rails; she
feels, them move, and encouraged she
continues her efforts directed towards the
destruction of that particular fence. Soon
an opening is made-for most fences do
look stronger than they actually are-she
puts her head through, and with her full
weight leaning against the fence, stretch
ing her neck and protruding and twisting
her tongue, she reaches the nearest blade.
This first success urges her to renewed
exertions. One rail breaks, another is
thrown off, and triumphantly she enters
the forbidden field. The whole herd fol.
lows and the work of destruction begins.
After COW has once learned the art of
breaking fences, she will not only always
remember it, but also teach it to other an.
imals, and your trouble will not cease.

appointment to u.s."
REPLY.-The only remedy for the cod
lin moth (applecore worm) is, with a
hand force pump, to spray the trees with
paris green mixed in water, teaspoonful
to the gallon, within the first two weeks
after the blossoms drop. At that time
the apples stand upon the trees with the
"blow-ends up, and the spray deposits
an infinitesimal yet sufficient quantity of
the poison right in the spot where the cod
lin moth lays its egg. The first bite the
young worm makes after Matching, it gets
fatal dose. There is a second brood
later in the season, when it will not do to
apply this remedy, but if the first brood
are mostly killed, the second will not be
large enough to do much injury. The
Transcendent tree is, like most crab
apples, very liable to be injured, made UNI
healthy, and often to be killed by the
twig blight, disease similar if not iden
teal to that which affects the pear, and
for which no positive remedy is known

REPLY.-Compared with Ben Davis,
Scott's Winter growing in the next row
is one-third smaller, but more even in
size, and equally productive in bushels.
In quality Scott's Winter is far better
both for cooking and dessert than Ben
Davis, and an equally good keeper. Ben
Davis has no taste at all, and is always
hard. Scott's Winter is a lively acid,
milder in the spring and quite spicy and
mellow, yet without much richness.
Scott's Winter sells better than Ben
Davis where both are known, but if both
are unknown, Ben Dayis will sell better
because larger. We may say that Ben
Davis is too late for our locality and does
not get its full size. In Ferrisburgh it
would be double the size of Scott, which
is only about one size larger than Fameus.'
unless well thinned. Scott is far the
hardest, being as hardy as Wealthy. But
we do not recommend it to take the place
of any standard sorts, Baldwin and the
like, where these succeed we'll.
