Poison ICy.

The poison ivy aud the innocuous
kind differ in one particular which is too
easy Of remembrance to be overlooked
by any one who is interested enough in
the briliant-hued leaves Of autumn to
care for gathering them; the leaves of
the former grow in clusters Of three and
those of the latter in fives As some
body has suggested in a Juvenile story
book, every child should be taught to
associate the five leaves in a cluster
with the fpgrs on the human hand aud
given to understand that when these
numbers prree they can be brought into
contact with perfect safety 1t may
spare our readrrs no little suffering to
bear this point in mind during their
Octobcr ramblcs in the field.

that it should be 50 long before our turn

A Word to Mothers.

Probably most of us resolve on the Lords
day, as we listen to the sweet sanctuary
songs, and hear the tender, beautiful "old,
old story" that we will be better, nobler,
lovelier as the days roll by. But, though
the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak" and
as we lift the burdens of Mondays cares,
perhaps we have forgotten to put on our ar
NOR. What can we expect but defeat if we
begin our day unaided from above If his
arm is not about us, his divine love not a
conscious presence, then indeed we must ex-
pect much trouble from multitudinous lit
tie things" We need never fear being ir-
reverent by referring to our Fathers will on
all occasions. He is too mighty and too
loving ever to be impatient or troubled with
his childrens requests. If our Saviour is
an indwelliug force with us, we can conquer
all things, including, of course, the many
little exasperating trials of everyday life,
the constantly filling mending- basket, which
has tiresome way Of never staying empty ;
the overseeing and annoyance of servants,
the fretfulness or wilfulness of children, etc.

were, to the Lord of all for help. was Wis

the city | did not know whether or not a
gentleman cousin, who lived few doors off

a certain hour. In some anxiety went to
his house, but only to find him gone to his
place of business, several miles distant
His wife was absent, and said TO the only
servant left in charge, Maggie, am wor-
ried; perhaps Mr.. ID. did not know that
wanted to go this evening. Did you hear
him say ?" "No, ma'am, shure | didn't /;
but there's no need of worry, maam. Just
step in the hall, and use the telephone"
Sure enough, there was the telephone in di-
rect communication with cousin RS office.
"Will the carriage call for us at six ?"
Certainly, everything is all arranged. l

answer, relieving me of all troublesome

Gambling.

Many church societies have no small re.
sponsibilty for the prevalence of this seri-
GUS vice. There are many so-called fairs and
festivals, under the direction of various re-
'igious societies, that are training schools for
gambling. Lotteries in every form are au-
thorized, and both old and young are be-
sought to try their luck. 1t is time that
Christian men and women should make an
earnest protest against every species of
gambling, and should see to it that the So
cieties of which they are members discounte-
nance, in every possible way, everything
that is founded upon the fundamental prin.
ciple of gambling, adventuring, either in
play or in earnest, sums of money in the
hope of getting more than just equivalent
therefor. Fairs and festivals can be con-
Quoted upon sound religious and business
principles, and, if they do not bring in quite
so large sum of money, they will then be
help instead of hindrance at least they
will not be the means of destroying souls
for whom Christ died. Let nothing be sold
by tickets have no grab-bsgs or guess cakes
or fish-ponds even, but let everything be free
from the faint of lottery-gambling. We
would be glad to see our laws against lot
teries and gambling enforced against any
and every society that attempts to nullify
them Vermont Baptist

Carlyle on Prayer.

GAS to your objection of setting up our
poor wish or will in opposition to the will
of the Eternal, have not the least word to
say in contradiction OF it. Prayer is and re-
mains always native and deepest impulse
of the soul of man; and, correctly gone
about is of the very highest benefit (nay
one might say, indispensability) to every
man aiming morally high in this world.
No prayer, no religion-or, at least, only a
dumb and famed one, Prayer is a turning
of ones soul, in heroic reverence, in. infinite
desire and endeavor, toward the Highest,
the All-excellent, Omnipotent, Supreme.
Prayer is the aspiration of our poor strug-
Cling heavy-laden soul towards its Eternal
Father; and, with or without words, ought
not to become impossible-nor, persuade
myself, need it ever. Loyal sons and sub
jects can approach the Kings throne, who
have no request to make there except
that they may continue loyal. Cannot

The Two Ways.

There are two ways of defending castle /;
One by shutting yourself up in it, and
guarding every loop-hole; the other by max
ing it an open center of operations from
which all the surrounding country may be
subdued. IL not the last the truest safety
Jesus was never guarding himself, but al.
ways invading the lives of others with his
holiness. There never was such an open
life as his; and yet the force with which
his character and love flowed out upon the
world kept back more strongly than any
granite wall of prudent caution could have
done, the world from pressing in upon him.
His life was like an open stream that keeps
the sea from flowing up into it by the eager
force with which il flows down into the sea
He was so anxious that the world should
be saved that therein was his salvation from
the world. He labored so TO make the world
pure that he never even had to try to be pure

A BRAVE LADY.
She Endures the Pain of Severe Surgical
Operation without Taking Chloroform.

(From the Courfer)
Mrs SHOEMAKER of Creek Locks Ulster Co.,
N. Y, had the misfortune TO entirely lose the
sight Of one OF her eyes, through an accident and
endured painful in6ammatory action therein for
two long years; the other eye finally becoming
alphabetically affected, her general health
seriously suffering; indeed she was mere wreck,
walking skeleton. In this terrible strait she
consulted Dr. David Kennedy, Of Rondout, N Y,
who told her at once that the injured eye must be
removed. She quietly but firmly said "All
right, Doctor, but don't give me chloroform.
Let my husband sit by my side during the opera
ton, and | will neither cry out nor stir" The
work was DONE and the poor woman kept her
word. Talk of soldierly couragel This showed
greater pluck than 1t takes to face hundred
guns. To restore her general health and give
tone and strength to the system, DR.. Kennedy
then gave the " Favorite Remedy" which cleansed
the blood and impaired new life to the long suf-
fering woman. She rapidly gained health and
strength, and is now well. The " Favorte REM
edy" is priceless blessing to women. No family
should be without it. Your druggist has it. If
not send to Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout New
York
