MY FATHERS BUSINESS.

In the second chapter of the gospel as re-
corded by Luke, we find a very interesting
and instructive account of the events which
transpired Immediately prior to the birth of
Jesus Christ, of his birth and the accompa-
nying events. In the same chapter, an ac-
count is given of his parents going up to Je-
rusalem, when he was twelve years. old, and
of their taking him with them. Having
remained at Jerusalem until the days ap-
pointed for the feast of the passover were
fulfilled, they set out to return home. After
having gone days journey, or perhaps,
only part of days journey, they discov-
cred that their son Jesus was not with them.
They Immediately returned to Jerusalem
and after search Of three days he was
"found in the temple, sitting in the midst of
the doctors, both hearing them and asking
them questions" In her ignorance, his
mother, asks him angrily, "Why hast thou
thus dealt with us? Behold thy father and
I have sought thee sorrowing." TO his
mother, he replied by asking, elbow is it
that We sought me? Wistye not that must
be about my fathers business" Neither
Joseph nor Mary understood what he meant
by this answer. The Greek text is suscepti-
BILE of being translated thus: "How is it
that We sought me; wist, or knew we not,
that ought to be in my fathers house?"
This is the rendering which is insisted upon
by number of commentators. 1t seems to
be strained, and is liable to many serious
objections, which need not be stated in this
place. Regarding the English translation
as correct, we may ask what did our Saviour
mean by suggesting to his mother that "he
must be about his fathers business"
The business for which Jesus Christ came
into the world was to save sinners. One of
the lessons which he would impress upon
the minds of his followers by the answer
returned to the inquiry of his mother, is
that the business of saving sinners should
be regarded as first in Importance and first
in execution.
Jesus Christ is the eXemplar which all his
professed followers promise to initiate, and
which all men are required to initiate.
The fathers business, or the business of sa-
wing souls, is the work in which all men are
required to engage to the full extent of their
natural and gracious endowments. This
work is to be first, no matter how important
any other work may be. 1t is the duty of
every professed Christian to set the Lord
always before his face. We may always
safely do what Jesus did.

A SHAMEFUL FUNERAL.-The death and
burial of F. G. Stebbins, for twenty years
editor of the Cuba Patriot, caused a sensa-
ton in Western New York, and will 90 down
as one of the most curious affairs Of the age.
Stebbins was what might be pronounced an
Ingersollite. For years he has been dying
of consumption, and for months he brooded
over his approaching dissolution. He was
impressed by the refusal of Charles K.
Thorne, Jr., the actor, to have any religious
services held over his body, and prior to his
ise that no minister of whatever denomina-
tion should be allowed to hold religious
service. He was member of Lodge No.
$685. knights of Honor, and asked that the
ceremony should be conducted by the lodge.
He desired the Knights, in following his
body to the grave, to sing "Marching
Through Georgia, )" repeating the song when
the earth fell upon his coffin. On leaving
the cemetery they were to sing "Good-Bye,
My Lover, Goodbye" Stebbins died on
the 2nd ultimo, the funeral taking place the
next day Twenty-eight knights in full
regalia attended the funeral. They sang
the songs requested, both in going and COM
ing, and created a sensation in the quiet
town, the citizens ofwhich did not under,
stand how such songs could be tolerated at
a funeral. The mourners did not seem to
mind the strangeness of the obsequies. The
scene at the grave, when the earth clattered
on the box and the Knights started up the
old war-song, was impressive. AS the last
words died away the cortege moved on, and
when outside the cemetery the sentimental
song was taken up and sung with spirit. 1t
was a strange funeral.
BY referring to their last assessment no
tees, members of Lodge 3o9 will see that the
benefit of this eccentric brother has been
paid. But what are we to think of the
"twenty-eight knights" who desecrated the
solemnity of the obsequies by singing at the
grave one ribald song, known to the min
strel profession as "walk round," and an
other equally inappropriate? We incline
to the opinion that brother Stebbins was not
the only "eccentric" member of that lodge.
We commend them to the fatherly admoni-
ton of brother Cummings.

A HOLY LIFE.-A holy life is made up of
a number of small things. Little words,
deeds, not miracles or battles, nor one great
heroic act of mighty martyrdom, make up
the true Christian life. The little, constant
sunbeam, not the lightning; the waters of
Sloan 'thatgo softly" in the meek mission
of refreshment, not the "waters of the river,
great and many" rushing down in torrents,
noise and force, are the true symbols Of a
holy life. The avoidance of little evils, little
sins, little inconsistencies, little weaknesses,
little follies, indiscretions, and imprudences,
little foibles, little indulgences of the flesh !;
the avoidance of such little things as these
goes far to make up, at least, the negative
beauty of holy life.-Bonar.

The fart1 and fireside,
TREATING A COLD.

1t is not a correct practice, after cold is
caught, to make the room q person sits IN,
much warmer than usual, to increase the
quantity of bedclothes, wrap up in flannel,
and drink alarge quantity of hot tea, Cruel,
or other slops, because it will invariably
increase the feverishness, and in the major
ity of instances, prolong, rather than lessen,
the duration of the cold. 1t is we'll known
that confning inoculated persons in warm
rooms will make their smallpox more
violent by augmenting the general heat
and fever; and it is for the same reason
that similar practice in the present COM
plaint is attended with analogous results,
a cold being in reality slight fever. In
some parts of England among the lower
order of the people, large glass OF colo
spring water, taken on going to bed, is
found to be successful remedy, and IN
fact, many medical practitioners recon-
mend reduced atmosphere, and frequent
draughts of cold fluid, as the most etfica-
cious remedy for a recent cold, particularly
when the patients habit is full and pie
thoric.
It is generally supposed that it is the
exposure to cold or wet atmosphere which
produces the effect called cold, whereas 1T is
returning to warm temperature after eX-
posure, which is the real cause of the evil.
When person in cold weather goes into
the open air, eVeTyllul uc uldWo III llAo
breath the cold air passes through his nos
trils and windpipe, into the lungs, and con-
sequently diminishes the heat of these
parts. AS long as person continues in the
the cold air, he feels no bad effects from 1T;
but as soon as he returns home, he approach
es the fire to warm himself, and very often
takes some warm and comfortable drink to
keep out the cold it is said. The inevitable
consequence is, that he will find he has
taken cold. He feels shivering which
makes him draw nearer the fire, but all to
no purpose; the more he tries to heat him
self, the more he chills. All the mischief
is here caused by the violent action of heat.
To avoid this, when you com" out OF
very cold atmosphere, you should not first
90 into room that has fire in it, or, If you
cannot avoid that, you should keep for
considerable time at as great a distance as
possible, and above all, refrain from taking
warm or strong liquors when you are cold.
This rule is founded on the same principle
as the treatment Of any part of the body
when frost bitten. If it were brought to
the fire it would soon mortify, whereas, ii
rubbed with snow, no bad consequences
follow from it. Hence, if the following
rule were strictly observed-when the whole
body, or any part of it is chilled, bring 1t
to its natural feeling and warmth by de-
grees-the frequent colds we experience in
winter would, in great measure, be pre-
vented.

IMPROVING SEED CORN.-AWriter in the
Farming World says: 81 see many farmers
telling how to improve corn by selecting
seed. My plan is select one ear of corn
that exactly suits my fancy. Prepare a
rich spot Of land off some distance from
any growing corn; lay off the rows four
feet apart and plant 2 grains in every hill:
Shell first from the butt end of the ear, and
begin to plant as you shell off, and keep on
until the ear is all planted BY this process
you will be able to tell what part of the ear
will mature first and the part that will make
the best corn with very little trouble, and
in few years you will have pure seed corn.
In cultivating thin every hill down to one
stalk; keep the ground mellow; keep off
all suckers and shoots except one to the
stalk.

How TO STOP A RUNAWAY HORSE
Several years ago attended a lecture given
by Rarey, the celebrated se-trainer, in
the course of which he claimed that any
runaway horse could be controlled with a
knowledge of the proper treatment, and
what learned from him has served me on
more than one occasion during the many
years l have driven around New York.
Rarey's directions were as follows: First,
to know that the harness is all right, and
that the bit and lines are of proper strength,
never to drive with slack rein, and al
ways to keep the feet untrammeled, ready
for any emergency; second, as soon as you
find that the horse is running away, with
all the power of the right arm jerk the
horses head to the side Of the neck, at the
same time springing to the left of the We
hicle ready to jump. AS soon as done i'm
mediately jerk the horses head to the left
side of the neck and change your position to
the opposite side of the carriage. Repeat
ing this with all ones strength and as quick
ly as possible, the horse must stop his speed.
Under this treatment it is impossible for
him to proceed, but it must be done quickly,
50 as not to allow the horse to straighten his
position or to turn around. l have been
run away with several times, and have
always tried Rarey's plan with success.

MIXTURE OF GRAssEs.-Nature suggests
in the natural and thick growth of a variety
of grasses and weeds together that MKT
ure of vegetation may yield larger quanti-
ty of vegetable produce from any given
area than can be obtained from the growth
of one species alone. Actual experiment
has shown that mixture of grasses is usual
ly more productive than the cultivation of
a single one An acre of peas and oats
grown together will yield more than halfan
acre of each grown singly. a field seeded
to timothy and clover produces nearly twice
as much as either soWn alone. A pasture
sod composed of orchard grass, timothy, red
clover and Kentucky blue grass is in good
tumn, the decay of the earlier ripening spe-
cies furnishing plant-food for the species
next coming to maturity ty.-Chicago Times.
