The Temperance Cause in Antigua.

started IN Antigua by the ReVd. >. n.
Branch, the Bishops second sou The
Chairman of the meeting, which the
Standard says was "attended by as
large an audience as has ever been wit
messed in the Cathedral scIIooI-room,
was Mr.. McAdam, a successful mer-
chant az proprietor in Antigua, who
said hat he chad been an advocate
Of Temperance principles for IA
years., and "felt proud to be able to
testify publicly to his firm adherence
to the cause Of Temperament
s.The Revd. S. E. Branch being call
ed upon to explain the object Of the
meeting, said that the object Of the
meeting was to start ii branch of the
Church of England Temperance So
ciety, notnow an infant society, but
on,that had attained its majority and
hadN been weighed in the balances
and MOI found wanting. The Society
admitted moderate drinkers as we'll
as abstainers. lie recommended it
to them as a Society that would lead
them to higher and better things, and
asked them to join him in waging Il
war against what is a curse to man
kind. lie thanked the audience for
their response to the notice, and trust.
ed hat they would show their Co
operation. He said that from stats,
tics he had obtained he had found out
that the people of Antigua consumed
10000 gallons Of liquor per mum.
Gro this remark there was an I'M
seemIy applause and Iaughter)
The speaker then asked what was
there to laugh at in that, he would
ask them to think how many drunken
men were going to their God in that
state. Antigua he was pleased to say
was not such a country Of drmkaras
as he at first thought, but there was
really too much intemperauce. This
was borne out by the gaol returns
which showed that one man was put
III the gaol every other day for boing
drunk, and that does not, unfortunate
ly, give any idea OF all the persons
hat drink. He then described the
formation of the Society. That there
were two branches of the Society, one
total abstinence and the other tenn
perancc members, and he described
the two pledges. He urged on his
hearers to accept one of those pledges,
rs there was no possibility Of their
becoming Christians in truth if they
did not cast away that wee. True,
our Saviour drank wine-but still he
showed us a principle of self-deniaI.
He would ask them to follow St.
Paul's teaching, if meat make my
brother to offend, then | will not eat
meat, this was the self denial that waJ
needed to support the cause. He
concluded by exEorting even the
moderate drinkers to total ab~ti-
hence, as they could thus better hold
out a helping hand to the unfortu-
nate d~runkard."
The other speakers were the RevdS.
E. Foster, II. r. HoIme, and B. n.

There is agitation just now both in HoI-
land and Belgium. In Holland the ppo-
pie begin to fear that the dynasty may end
and that a question of succession my
arise. The Prince of Orange, a weakly
man, is dying; and the King. now sixty
seven, is in bad health, with a suspicion Of
Brights disease. He has a young daughter,
but the Crown does not pass to females !;
and it is feared that Germany may support
the shadowy claim of the House of Mas
sau, which inherits all the Orange posses
sions except Holland. In Belgium. again,
the Clericals have crushed the Liberals at

NOT FOR THOUGHT BUT AC-
TON.

The truths of religion, natural or
revealed, are not merely nor mainly
for thought and speculation, debate
and the feeling of complacency which
arises form knowing them and being
able to state them and defend them,
good and satisfactory as such feeling
is. They are for practice, such prac-
tice as demands faith and foresight,
and requires purpose and plan, activ-
ity and execution, self-denial and
self-devotion to illustrate these truths
and make them known TO others, and
lead these others to live for them and
if need be to die for them. Especially
is this true of those truths that relate
TO Christ, and the salvation from SIN
he has provided through the offering
he has made for us.
Not the attributes of God alone
nor sin, but these rs related to re-
demption and salvation are the great
and practical themes of the New Tes-
lament. For human redemption and
salvation it has pleased God to make
himself better known. This is the
teaching of the word of God itself.
The same word that declares God is
so well known in his works of crea-
| ton that men are without excuse for
not knowing him and are condemned
and look as if dying. will start into
for their sins, declares also, God so
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son that whatsoever believ-
eth in HIM should not perish, but have
everlasting life" ''For seeing that
in the wisdom of God, the world
through it's wisdom knew not God, il
was Gods pleasure through the fool
ishness of the preaching to save then
that believe"
| Our relation to Christ through hi:
redemption is such that living or dy
ing we are the Lords. There is no
faculty of our complex constitution
soul and spirit, mind or heart ant
will, but what belongs to our Redeem
er. The larger and clearer our knowl
edge of God or ourselves and our fel
low-men is, or the greater our capac
ity and opportunities to obtain thi
knowledge, the larger and more i'm
l perative are the duties to God an
our fellow-men which grow out O
a them.

THE HORSE.

M. P. Walker, an eminent En-
glish Veterinary surgeon, who has
made the horse a subject of much
study as regards his individuality
and characteristics, gives some valu-
able hints in the following, which are
worthy of more serious attention than
the points touched upon.
''The horse is intelligent, benevo-
lent and honest, and eminently social;
a companion and slave. He has a
good memory of persons and places,
acute sensibility to kindness, attach
ment to those who treat him we'll,
and forgiving to degree to those
those who treat him i'll, and great do
cility under judicious treatment; in
deed. what qualifications will not
friend ascribe to him? yet neverthe-
less, through some over-ruling organ
in his mental faculties, he refuses to
do duty. 1t will be readily admitted
that there is an individuality in the
horse, and that he possesses mental
power of an understood quantity. 1t
is the breeding and education of this
mental power that want to get at !,
for / believe there is no force in ma
ture, common to our existence, so
powerful and effectual for good or
evil as mental force. What can be
expected of two peevish animals be-
ing put together but an offspring of 6
like character IN much more promi-
nent degree? The exercise of greater
care should be impressed upon breed
ers as to the mental characteristics
of the animals they are putting to
gethcr. I ask where do we find thu
least attention paid to this? ant
should not our profession take cog
nizance of it? Then as to the horse
education. Where do we find til
breaker who has the time allowed hin
to develop or restrain, as needs be
an animal that may be entrusted t
him."

Every farmer should plant few
fruit trees every year. An orchard
should be treated as crop, not as a
permanent establishment. 1t should
be cultivated under the same cOndi-
tons, too, if 1t is expected to yield a
profitable return. A small orchard
well kept is like a little farm we'll
titled; indeed, it is part and parcel
of such little farm. The orchard
should be given the whole posses
sion of the soil, and it should have
it's regular manuring, as other crops
have. Young trees especially re-
quire this aud regular cultivation as
we'll. 1t is supposed that fruit trees
require many years to come into bear
ing. This is true if they suffer neg
lect and have to exert all thell
strength to live. 1t is only the sur
plus vigor over that needed to main
tain an existence that is expended
in fruit. In this respect a fruit tree
and a cow is precisely alike. If
farmer should treat his COWS as some
treat their orchards, there would bt
very little milk or butter or cheese OIL
that farm. But if the orchard is treat
ed as well as the COWS are it will
| thrive and yield as much or NOR
profit as any other part of the farm
| acre to acre.

MULCHING THE ORCHARD.

Continued experience makes US
more and more an advocate for the
application of mulch TO fruit trees.
We have orchards IN both TILED land
and grass. By liberal mulching with
grain straw, pea and bean straw, or
coarse grass, the growth of the trees
in sod fully equals the growth of the
highly MANFRED garden soil, with
far less risk of winter injury. We
have no trouble whatever from the
splitting of bark with mulched trees,
nor do we ever see any root-killing.
even where no snow lies, if the mulch
is well maintained. So completely
has our opinion on this subject been
changed by experience, that we
should now prefer always to set a
young orchard in sod if we could al
ways command sufficient mulching
material. Trees in sod that will not
make two inches of annual growth,
luxuriant growth almost Immediately
after mulching. The mulch should
extend out as far as the branches,
and should be heavy enough to kill
all grass and weeds for that distance.
The mulch decays, and needs lenew-
al about every year. Care must also
be taken to protect mulched trees by
laths, barrel slaves or some equiva-
lent, from the mice that are sure to
nest in the mulch.
This mulching maintains moisture
and an equable temperature about the
roots of the trees, by its presence
and slow decay, it greatly increases
the growth of the trees.

APPLE BUTTER.-Cider made from
sweet apples will make a better arti-
Gle; but if it cannot be obtained,
common cider can be used. Take
the cider as it runs from the press,
before any fermentation takes place,
and boil it down in a tin OF copper
boiler (never use iron) until it has
evaporated fully one-half; while it is
boiling all the scum that rises must
be carefully removed; and as soon
as it thickens enough add a quantity
of good tart apples pared and cut in
to quarters. Keep a slow but steady
fire, and be very careful to stir the
apples every few moments. Wher
they have boiled about fifteen minutes
add more and cook to pulp, stirring
continually. AS soon as it Is one
mass of pulp put in jars or firkins
and let il cool; cover, and set in
cool place. 1t can be seasoned while
cooking or afterwards ground CHINA
mon and cloves are best suited as :
favoring. ~ bushels of apples art
enough for barrel of cider before i
is boiled down.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.


Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
diseharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, apd
completely restored the limb to use.

LIGHTS IN THE BARN.-As regards
lanterns and lamps in the barn, the
american Agriculturist says: If the
light is not kept in the hand, it should
be hung up. Provide hooks in the
various rooms where lights are used.
A wire running the whole length of
the horse stable, at the rear of the
stalls, and furnished with sliding
hook, is very convenient for night
work with the horses. Some farmers
are so careless as to keep the lamp
oil 10 the barn, apd fill the lantern
there while the wick is burning. Such
risks are too great even if the build
inos are insured.
