melody, as well as by the words them
selves, the steadfastness of Christian
faith as entertained by these sturdy
Germans. Christian rest and peace
were present, visible in the quiet
thrOng.
A few rods away was the "Castle
church," where nearly four hundred
years ago Luther boldly nailed his
theses upon the door. The same door
way is now filled with metal doors,
upon which those same theses are cast.
A little distance in another direction is
the spot where the great Reformer
defied the Papal Church, and, through
it, all earthly power, by burning the
Pope's "bull." How changed Now
statues and wreaths, and flags, do hon
or to his name, and the German empire
sends its representatives to join with
the representatives of the Christian
Church in England, Scotland, Ireland,
and France in celebrating his memory.
Not far away, in the old church, is
the grave of the gentle Melancthon,
also the grave of Luther, covered with
wreaths and flowers, and the portrait
of him raised above it on the wall. The
whole length of the main street of the
city was hung with oak-leaf wreaths
and festoons, while flags tiOated from
every prominent place. Near by is a
house of sacred memory, having upon
it this inscription: "Here lived, taught,
and died, Philip MelancthOn." In
Luther hall are preserved Luther's
old stove, table, chair, university pull
pit, autographs, and several of his
sermons, and medals struck i'll his hon
or. The clock struck the hour for clos
ing the great feast, and the crowd of
supplemented people dispersed to
their homes, with, doubtless, greater
devotion to their country and to God.
1t may be, and | hope it will be, that
other scenes will appear as lovely to

main as vividly before me as that does,
but that was certainly one to be re-
membered long. o. II. C.

Prepare Winter Clothes Now.

The American Agriculturist for
October gives the following good ad-
vice which, if followed, will save in
doctors bills and medicine as much
money i'll many cases as the clothing
will cost. 1t says: "The sudden
changes of temperature, and cold,
penetrating winds may be looked for,
and it is prudent to he ready to meet
them promptly. Strong, vigorous per
sons in full blood, may resist a fall of
twenty or thirty degrees in the ther-
mOmeter, but none are sure of doing
so. \ change from fifty to forty or
thirty degrees before the system is in
ured to cold, is more felt than zero in
January. So, good, warm under and
outer clothing should be at hand for
instant use when an unexpected north
erly blast comes. A cold caught in
autumn is apt to last il long time, if it
does not chance to terminate fatally.
Let the winter apparel be looked over
at once, mended and remOdelled, and
new clothing ordered. TailOrs and
seamstresses, if to he employed, will
he over busy, and less accommodating
later on than now, and frabrics are in
more variety ut the stores, and cost no
more now than later. 70 dOubly pro-
tect the throat and lungs, line the
undershirt inside, both back and front,
and well down the waist with warm,
soft flannel. Give special care also to
the feet and limbs. Home knit stock
ings of soft wool are by far the best.
Line the knees aud heels of the child
rcn's stockings with flannel"

How TO Grease "a wheel.

The COachmaker's Magazine indOrses
the statement that few people are
aware that they do wagons and car
riages more injury 10y greasing too
plentifully than i'll any other way. A
wcll-madc wheel will endure constant
wear from ten to twenty-five years, if
care is taken to use the right kind and
proper amount of grease but if this
matter is not attended to, it will he
used up in five or six years. Lard
should never be used on wagon, for
it will penetrate the hub, and work its
way out around the lemons of the
spokes, thus spelling the wheel. Tai
low is the best lubricatOr for wooden
axletrees, and castor oil for iron hubs,
but many of the patent axle greases
are also excellent, and have the merit
of being cheaper and more convenient
to handle. Just grease enough should
he applied to the spindle of Il wagon to
give it Il slight coating. This is better
than more, for the surplus put on will
work out at the ends, and be forced by
the shoulder bands and nut-washer
into the hub around the outside of the
boxes. To oil an iron aXletree, first
wipe the spindle clean, wet with spirits
of turpentine, and then apply few
drops of castor oil near the shoulder
and end. One teaspoonful is sufficient
for the whole

Fires and Fireplaces.

Every house should have in the prin-
clpal, or living room, at least, fire
place, If only for use in summer, or in
the warm months. There is rarely a
month in which there is not long and
cold storm, or if it is not cold there is
an all-pervading dampness, which re-
qulres hre to remove it. In the
Northern States the present month and
the next, are among the most enjoyable,
as to weather, of all the twelve. Yet
cold storms of several days duration
are frequent, and if there are not such
storms, warm, genial days are followed
by chilly nights, bringing change so
great that only the most robust can
endure it, and the foundation of serious
illness is often laid ut this time. At
this season fire, especially at night,
is often needed for both comfort and
health, and no house should be without
provision for it. While fire in n
stove is vastly better than none at all,
by all means, where possible, have it
in an open fireplace. Aside from its
social effect, the air of cheerfulness
which fire on the hearth brings with
it, such IA fire also brings ventilation, a
change of air, a removal of dampness
and stagnation, such as close stove
does not afford. In our climate we
rarely have a month, even in summer,
i'll which fire is not ut times needed.
Were the provisions for making it
more general, we should hear much
less of malaria" Malaria means bad
air good air comes with an open fire,
as well us brightness and cheerfulness.

The american humor' which now
goes by the name, and has attracted
such worldwide notOriety, is not,
properly, speaking, literary hnmor at
all, says the New York Evening Post
1t has about the same relation to liter
ature that the negro minstrcls or Iar-
rigan and Hart have To the drama. 1t
was begun by Artemus Ward, and has
been perpetuated by long line of
testers, funny men, clowns, or whatever
they may he called, who stand III some
what the same relation to the public
that the testers of the pre-hterary pc
riOd did to the private employers in
whose retinuc they served. They say
funny things, or serious things, or
idiOtic things, but say them in public
for the benefit of the vast audience
which reads the newspapers.
1t is newspaper humOr, rather than
American humor, and though the fash
ion began i'll this country, it might
easily be adopted, one would think, in
England, where it is liked so much.
Artemus Ward and Josh Billings, we
should say, represent it in its earlier
and purer state, and now it is repre-
scented by a dozen paragraphers, whose
jokes make us laugh very often for the
same reason that the sight of man
chasing his hat in Il high wind will
always amuse the bystandcrs-a fact
for the true explanation of which we
should have to plunge deep into the
recesscS of the human heart.

The Liquor saloon Has No
Moral Right TO Exist.

The following words are from a lee
ture delivered at Aberdeen, Dakota,
by Hon. B. +. Hutchinson, receiver of
the land office :-'Men have no moral
right to keep such places (saloons) ;
they should have no legal right The
question is not whether liquors ever do
good, or whether any man can use
them with advantage, or without
harm. But it is the fact with which we
should deal. The saloon, it is every
where. As an institution | arraign it.,
and call upon public opinion to put it
away. Its chief offcnsc is that it
temptS those least able to resist, and
assaults those least able to defend
themselves. 1t would scarcely he safe
to throw piece of poisoned meat to Il
pet dog within reach of its mas er's
fist. A man shields his daughter as
the apple of his eye. Her assassin
falls under the t-following VEN
geance of the fathers arm; f.; and every
jury on the planet will throw itself
as a solid wall betwiXt him and home.
But his young sOn-as innocent, as
unsuspecting, as defenceless, may be
luTed to destruction of body and soul q,
under sanction of law. Who knows
but father what Il son is ? In him he
sees himself renewed not his old self,
silvered with years, bowed and wrink-
led not chilled with diSappointments,
and with hopes unrealized, with friend
ships broken and wearied in the fierce
battle of life. But his own buoyant
self, all radiant with youthful fire and
ambition, aglow with truth and love
and hope; he sees himself renewed
and east upon the glowing canvas of
the future; erect, strOnglimbed, elias
tic; friends all true as steel; perhaps
some gentle soul whose love is the
rainbow to his vision; all hanging
upon the words, never uttered but for
truth and good will ambitious high
est laurels ready for his young brow :;
health, happiness, success assured
And yet and yet the man must stand
with folded hands and see the assassin
feeding with slow poison, and cruelty
ing all these bright visions, and not so
much as utter one word of protest, nor
interpoSe the freeman'S Safeguard-the
ballOt-tWiNt him and ruin. | would
had Il thousand tongues, all touched
with fire, to rouse the slumhering con-
science of him who would work this
terrible destruction and to move you
to resolve that such desolation shall
not he wrought i'll this fair young state.
| would plead with You to make IA
social atmosphere where such blight
could never come +; where all the noble
possibilities of manhood shall have
such free sweep and full recognition
that Dakota shall shine as the bright
est star i'll the galaxy of states where
there should be such noble type of
men, so true, so brave, so clean that
its golden grain and golden sunsets
should pale III contrast, in that near
future when it shall lead the column

Amxing Postage Stamps.

A man can always learn something
if he will only look about him. | was
at the postoffice department the other
day, says Washington correspondent,
and noticed an employe busy affixing
stamps to envelopes. Every time he
moistened the right hand corner of the
envelope instead of the stamp, and
then placed the stamp upon it. | ask
ed him if there was any advantage in
wetting the envelope instead of the
stamp, and he said "You notice that
moisten the envelope first; well, do
that because it is the right way.
There is right and wrong way to
everything, and consequently, there is a
right and Il wrong way to put on post
age stamps. 1t is impossible to mOisten
IA stamp with the tongue unless a small
portion of the gum adheres to it. Now,
this gum is by no means injurious, but
then the department do not adv

left is the right way, and that is to
moisten the envelope first" After

Does He Mean ST. Johnsbury

"If were girl" said a welI-known
New England clergyman recently, 81
wouldn't parade too much in public
places" He mentioned number of
other things he would not do. He
would not think too much about dress,
or about parties, or about fashionable
society. But i'll regard to the folly of
parading in public places he was par
ticularly emphatic. A good many
girls acquire the habit of parading the
streets before they comprehend how
Objectionable it is. Their motive at
first is simply amusement; afterwards
they like thus to draw upon themselves
the notice of others. But notice so at
tracted is seldom respectful, and the
very young man who will look admir-
ingly at the girl he meets under such
circumstances will probably rejoice in
his own heart that his sister is not
among them. There is too much of
this sort of thing in many of our
smaller towns and villages, and we are
glad that the practice has been public
ly denounced from the pulpit New
York Ledger.

A Lafayette Remimiscence.

Miss Helen Adams, who is now re-
visiting Burlington, her old home, adds
one or two incidents, of Gov. Van
Ness reception to Gen. Lafayette in
IS}5 not before published. Her father.
the late Hon Charles Adams, was at
the time on Gov. Van Ness staff, and
introduced the people to the general
at the reception-nOt a light task, for
great numbers of persons from all the
country round thrOnged the house and
grounds. Among those who came to
greet Lafayette on that occasion was
Mrs. Hitchcock, the second daughter
of Ethan Allen, then fifty-eight years
old, and "a remarkably fine woman in
her personal appearance. Her meet
ing with Lafayette took place in Il
room apart from the thrOng, and a.
| Mr.. Adams presented her to Gen. La
/ fayetje, the gallant Frenchman took
her hand exclaiming with much feel
ing: "My God is it possible that
see the daughter of my old friend, Col
Ethan Allen 2" In his tour in the
South in the same year Gen. Lafayett,
made a call at the residence of Hon

ton showed this to be the large part
of Il turkeys feather filled with glisten-
ing stones. These he believed were
diamonds. An expert jeweler, after
careful examination, pronounced the
stones genuine diamonds. Investiga-
tion showed that an organized band OF
smugglers had been ''wOrking the
pigeon racket" for at least three years,
dispatching once in about ten days
some dozen pigeons laden with jewels

smuggled is between S7OO,OOO and

ing closely to what is said over the
wire. Indeed, the attention may be
trained to an abnormal development,
as in the case of the head operator at
the central office, who has been in the
telephOning business for four years; she
has so accustomed herself to fix her
attention on the machine before her,
and to abstract her attention from her
surroundings, that when she is in her
home she often fails to hear when she
is addressed by members of the family.

So full Of trust and patient grace.
" He justly claims a song from me:
His loving kindness how free;
Sweetly thus did run the song,
i" His loving kindness, all day long,
Trusting, praising, day by day.
She sang the sweetest rOundelay:
" He near my soul hath always stood.
His loving kindness. o how good =
i" He safely leads my soul along
His loving Kindness, o how strong
So strong to lead her on the way
To that eternal, better day,
Where safe at last in that blest home,
All care and weariness are gone.
She sings with rapture aud surprise
His loving kindness in the skies.
