THOMAS CAKES coNANT.
Twas the hottest day of midsummer;
The dog-star ragged on high,
The mercury scared in the nineties,
And the air was close and dry.
Alone in its cleaning whiteness,
In the broadcast blaze of day,
Stood the meeting house of Nemosset,
At the parting of the way.
No grove in the churchyard dourished,
Not even single tree;
They said twas 'agin tie Scriptur
Fur grove nigh church to be. -
And the air within was sitting,
As the SUMS unclouded glare
Poureddown on its roof of shingles,
And its walls 80 white and bare.
But the people had come together
From their dwellings far and near,
Arrayed in their Sunday homespun,
The Gospel trump TO hear.
Now loud through the open windows
To rasping minor key,
Rolled the sound of hymn of Watts.
In chorus " wild and free"
"No midnight shade, they were singing,
''No clouded sun, "--ah mel
"But sacred, high, eternal"
Was the ''noon they sighed to see,
The song died away, and the preacher,
In somberest black arraYed,
Tall, dry and thin as n pikestaff,
Rose up in the desk and prayed.
Then be read from the great church Bible
Somewhere in the Fentateuch
And began the old Jews to harry
With many keen Tebuke.
For their sins and their rebellions
Against the Lord most high:
With the sword of mightiest logic
He smote them hip aud thigh.
But never a word he uttered
70 the living folk in sight;
His thoughts were all for the ancients,
Far back in the worlds long flight.
On the drowsy air his accents
Monotonous rose and fell,
Till they seemed, in their droning cadence,
Like the weaving of spell.
But ere be had reached the I" fourthly,"
Deacon Jones his eyes had closed;
And Smith, OF the sermon Needless,
In slumber sweet reposeC.
And the rest they followed shortly,
TIL, ali in the sacred Place,
Not single soul Save the preacher)
But was locked in sleeps embrace!
The preacher paused for a moment
In kind of dazed surprise;
No sound broke the awful stiffness
Bat the buzz of drowsy flies.
Then he glsred upon the sleepers,
And his voice in anger rose:
Why sleep We so?n be Numbered:
= Are ye friends of God, or foes?"
Up rose old Deacon Tompkins
As the startled people woke:
a. Brother Bolles, he said, 80 I'm 4 thinkin', >
leetle hash you've spokei
- We're plain, bard-workin' people.
An we're busy through the week;
SO when we come to meetin'
It's restip spell we seek.
. We're tired with our tolls and troubles.
An weary with fightin' sin;
We need suthin' good an hearty
Fur our souls so worn and thin.
But what do we git? Why, mostly
a mess o. stale old views,
Too musty an dry fur feeoin'
Is hungry folks in the pevs.
Give Us suthin' fresh an wholesome
Thatl help us on our way;
FELL us how to live we'd orter
IN the conflicts Of to-day.
= m sure if the blessed Master
Was a-preachin' here n your stead,
As'd be tryin TO help the ivin'
Std O. mauliu' Of the dead.
80 # you want to keen us wskefpl.
Jest give las the Gospel Helgs;
An don't, fur the sake 4 the hvin',
Keep a-worryin' tuem old Jevs!'

Interpretation OF Deuteronomy xvi: 81.

Lawn Fetes and Long Feet.
From the Pittsburg Telegraph

from the FltlsOuTg ItItgraph.T
The lawn fete season is nearly over.
It's ending comes none too soon for
Pittsburg society leader. Her new
driver was sent down with orders to get
his mistress new shoes and to insist that
they be forthcoming, as the eventful
fete day vas at hand. He did his whole
duty, brawling into the store: "Ef yez
have thin shoes ready for Missus
Browns long fate, yez viii please send
thin out" Aud the lady in question
was sensitive about her feet, too.

Too Much Satan.

From the Wall Street Newsl
When the Pennsylvania oil excitement
first broke out, New Yorker visited the
neighborhood of what was afterwards
Oil City, for the purpose of securing a
slice of real estate. He found a farmer
who was willing to sell ten acres, but
when il came to the price the farmer re-
liked:
My friend, you are praying man p
ooh, yes"
Then you had best retire to your
room and ask heaven to guide you In
your offer.
The New Yorker retired for an hour or
two, and then returned to clinch the
bargain.
"Well, my friend, did you hear from
the Lord ?" asked the farmer
AYE! ] did; and [ am prepared to
offer yOu $500 an acre for this piece of
ground.
My friend, while you were hearing
from the Lord heard from satan. He
sent a Boston man here to offer me $500
an acre for the whole farm. You had
best wrestle again
But satan showed that he run that part
OF Pennsylvania While the New Yorker
was telegraphing for instructions. the
"old boy sent in an offer of $500 per
acre aud the land changed hands.

Rough Handling OF Children.
HOW DISEASES ORIGINATE.

The Cincinnati Lancet and Clinic
says: The causes of joint diseases in

nurses has much to do with the matter.

How TO Drive Flies Ont of n Roon,

Observations made by ID. Rafford. a
member OF the Society d Horticulture at
Limoges, show that a castor oil plant
having been placed in a room infested
with flies, they disappear as by enchant-
ment. Wishing to find the cause, he
soon found under the castor-oil plant
number of dead flies, and a large num-
Der of bodies had remained clinging to
the under surface of the leaves. 1t
would therefore appear that the leaves
of the castor-oil plant give out an essen
tjal oil, or some toxic principle which
possesses very strong insecticide quail
tles. Castor-oil plants are in France
very much used as ornamental plants in
rooms, as they resist very well variations
of atmosphere and temperature. AS the
castor oil plant is very much grown and
cultivated III all gardens, the Journal
d'Agrlcuiture points ont that it wOuld
be worth while to try decoctions of the
leaves 10 destroy the green flies and
other insects which in summer are so
destructive to plants and fruit trees.
Anyhow, NJ Railroads observations merit
that trial should be made of the proper
ties of the castor-oil plant for the
destruction of flies in dwellings and of
other troublesome insects. British
Medical Journal.

How and When to Apply Manure.

How and When to Apply Manure.
A writer IN the Western Rural says: [
have been experimenting some for the
last twenty years, and find the best re-
suits obtained by hauling the "raw !"
manure out III the spring and spreading
it broadcast from the wagon, on my corn
ground, and blowing it under. | have
found better results from an equal mum,
Der of loads of raw than from the same
number of well rotted manure placed
side by side on the same kind of ground.
Anyone knows that manure heap lying
III barnyard, as most farmers let it lie,
will lose nearly one-h half its ',ulk during
the summer. Then the satisfaction of
having ones cattle and sheep yards clean
enough to hold Sunday. school picnic
IN, is certainly something. 1t may be
binted that the spring is a busy time OF
year tn DO 10 much work. | lust as
much make 1t a point to hire an extra
force of help to put out my manure 10
the spring as l do to cut my hay and
harvest. Any one that will mount the
wind mill tower and look over the corn
fields to-day, can see to the very row of
corn where the last load of manure was
put. In recent conversation with an
intelligent young English farm hand, he
informed me that there had been an en-
tire change i'll England in the last TWEEN
~ years on this subject, and that they
were now putting the manure on the
land unrotted. There is one other very
important feature about it. Since [
have adopted the plan of thoroughly
cleaning up around my outbuildings, we
are not pestered with such swarms OF
house flies on the door and window
screens of the dwelling. Let's hear the
experience of others on this subject.
