say that the items furnished from
this section ly me were penned with
'malace toward none and charity for
ALL" Can Mr!Feather say as much in
regard to his article? Was not his
sole motive to freate discord and bad
feeling among heighbors? l hope he
may be able to answer these ques.

science.
l haYe no apology to make for any,

no offence was intended, and my
conscience is clear. Meddlers and
busy-bodies may misconstrue and
pervert language and thereby make
mischief in a community. This can
not be avoided. but sensible people
will not be influenced by such men,

cheap notoriety, by attempting to
make mountains out of mole hills.

How to Cure Gossip.

A New York pastor has this advice to
give on the subject. 1t is certainly an
original plan:
Adopt this rule: Let all who come to
you with stories about mutual acquaint-
ances know that you intend, as soon as
YOUR duties allow, to wait upon the par
ties spoken of disparagingly and repeat
Just what was said, and who said 1T
Still better, take out your memorandum
book, and ask the party to allow you to
copy the words, so that you can make
no mistake.
You will have to do this probably not
more than three times. 1t will fly
among your acquaintance on the wings
of the gossips, and persons who come
to come to talk against other persons in
your presence will begin to feel as II
they were testifying under oath.
But you ask: "Will it not be mean to
90 off and detail conversations" Not
at all, when your interlocuter under
stands that he must not talk against an
absent person in your presence, without
expecting you to convey the words to
the absent person and the name of the
speaker. Moreover, what right has any
man or woman to approach you and
bind you to secrecy. and then poison
your mind against another? If there
be any difference in your obligations,
are you not bound more to the man who
is absent than the man who is present?
If you can thus help to kill gossip, 1t
will not matter if you lose friend or
two; such friends as these, who talk
against others to you, are the very per-
! sons to talk against YOU to them.
Try our rule. We know it to be good.
We use it. 1t is known in the church
of which we are pastor that if any one
speaks to us disparagingly of an
absent member we hold it our
duty to 90 to that absent mem.
Der Immediately, and report the con-
versation and the names, or still
better, to make the party disparaginee
face the party disparaged. We have
almost none of this to do. Amid the
many annoyances which necessarily
come to the pastor of a large church.
and still larger congregation, we think
that we are as free from the annoyance
of gossips as it is possible for man tt
be who lives among his fellowmen.
Try our rule; try it faithfully, witt
meeEness and charity, and if it does no
work well, let us KNOWN. Y. Exam

tunities, by which He allows us to lend

ing that, guided by Him, the smallest
things end sometimes in great results. "

Advice to a Young Farmer.

A Young man just married and with
small means wants to know how to start
right in farming. This is imposing
upon us rather serious task. We OF
course know nothing CT his habits OF
industry, his love of labor or his quail
fcations for the business he seeks.
Above all we do. not know what kind
of a wife he has selected, and very, very
much depends upon this, for if he has
chosen unwisely he has made an almost
irreparable misstep. We will, howev-
er, lay down some general principles
which may do others, if not him, some
good:
First-Buy none but the best land.
Ten acres of the best is better than q
whole section of poor land.
Second-Keep it clear of weeds.
Third-Do nothing slipshod. Pillow
well and cultivate thoroughly.
Fourth-Do everything in the right
season.
Fifth-Procure good implements and
take good care of them.
Sixth-Raise none but good animals.
Seventh-Keep strict account of in
come and expenses.
Eighth-Keep out of debt andclear O.
security notes.
Ninth-Rise early and quit work early
! in the evening, so that you may have
! the chores done before the shades O
night.
Tenth-Have nothing to do with tray
cling agents and strolling tiddlers. Dea
with those who have local habitatioI
and name.
Eleventh-Live peaceably with you
wife. Ii you can not, coax her to 90 t.
Kamschatka and you 90 to Australi;
until you ventilate your affections.
Twelfth-Live at peace with all you
neighbors, even if you have to maxi
the concessions and submit to all thu
wrong.
Thirteenth-Take good papers ant
keep yourself posted as to markets
news, literature and politics.
Fourteenth-Study to know you
whole duty to yourself, your family
your country and your God.
Follow these things and they vii
naturally lead you into all the duties o
a good farmer, good citizen and
prosperous and happy man.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Merits Of Nature Meat.

1t is well enough to speak of "spring
chickens" and to extol their qualities

raise them for market purposes, but
when we come to look at them from 9
