Mr.. MOody's Success in London.

The accounts of Mr.. Moody's labors
In London the past winter all show that
never before was there deeper inter-
est taken in his evangclistic work, and
that never before has his preaching
made deeper impression upon the
masses. The two great buildings which
have been moved from one quarter of
the city to another, end occupied alter
nately, have been constantly crowded.
The London Christian World says:
1.-The South side of the Thames
seems more susceptible to the influence
exerted by Messrs. Moody and Sankey
than the North. Remarkable as were
the gatherings at Highbury and Step
ney, those at Wandsworth were much
more so, while Battersea thus far fur
nishes the most striking chapter in the
history of the campaign. 1t is one of
the peculiarities of the missions con-
Quoted by the evangelists that the inter-
est deepens and the success grows.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey very soon
become quite an institution in the local.
ity where their tabernacle is pitched.
The services prove an almost irresisti-
BILE attraction. People go, and the more
they 60 the more they talk, and the
more they talk the more the hall is be-
sieged.
"The gatherings in the Lavender
hill hall during the week have been re-
markable in many ways. Not only has
the building been thronged, but the
horny-handed sons and daughters OF
toll have come we'll to the fore. The
evangelists and all concerned in the
working of the mission are much
cheered by the impression which is be-
ing produced. On Sunday something
like thirty thousand people found their
way into the vicinity of the hall. which
neceSsitated the holding of three over
flow meetings at night one in the open
air, another in the neighboring Wesley
an chapel, and yet another in York
road Baptist chapel. The day was by
far the most memorable that has been
experienced since the London campaign
opened. AT the hall alone in the even

The Blffalo Christian Advocate
trusts ''that our German friends in his

Sabbath. 1t is assuming quite large
proportions. Since the beginning of
1883 nearly two hun rcd ceniers of
popula ion have declared in favor of
closing of shops and the cessat on OF all
work on Sunday. In Berlin 10000
tradesmen have pctitioned the Govern

Getting Above Ones Self.

You must climb up higher than your
self In order TO conquer yourself AS
long AS one thoughts center wholly on
himself, and are directed merely to his
own good and improvement, he is almost
sure to be defeated in his struggles with
besetting faults. He has no motive
strong enough 10 make him Cin New
Testament language) ''resist unto
blood striving against sim" for that
self-love which makes him seek his own
best interests is no match for any of
the passions which gain control of
human heart. He will do what he
knows by sad experience will hurt body,
mind and soul, and what he has called
himself time and again "fool" for
doing, even if he would resent another's
calling him so; still he will keep on
doing it through the strength of the de-
sire which urges him on, and the weak
ness of the only motive which prompts
him to resist. Defeat is almost sure to
come on that low level where nothing
else is sought than our own interests
and pleasure, and victory will seldom
be achieved Until higher principle of
action has been gained.
Then "lead me to the rock that is
higher than j, must be the prayer of
every soul. There is whole host of
temptations assailing Us at everysstep.
Their sleepless eyes are watching the
first exposure OF our hearts. They know
where our defenses are weakest, and il
ever the strong human will on which
we have been relying should slumbcr
they know that, too. When for a mo-
ment we unloose our armor to seek
some relaxation, they make their fercest
assaults, and where the joints of our
'.harness" were got well knit together
their fly ing darts soon find the narrow
opening. Down on the level of these
temptations is continuous. if not disas-
trous, warfare; and we shall not fully
master these enemies of our peace till
we gain and hold on to the heights which
command the plains below.
Such a refuge there is in that ale
glance to God which makes US lay hold of
Him as He has already laid hold upon
us, and through that contact Divine
power flows in to supply the needs of
human weakness. There is love for
God which can grow to be so absorbing
and supreme as to keep every heart
throb in unison with it. There Is 10y
atty to the eternal righteousness which
can become so devoted that no usurping
passion in the heart shall dare lift up
the standard OF revolt And all this

Ornamental Hedges.

1t is hardly likely that attempts will
again be made in most parts of the
country to protect field crops by means
of hedges. As wealth increases, how
ever, more attention will be given to
identifying the premises, and orna-
mental hedges about small lots or door
yards will be common. A fine hedge is
far more beautiful than a fence made of
almost any material. The plants for
ornamental hedges will vary to conform
to the climate Of the different sections
of the country. Evergreens are pre-
places where the climate is suited to
them, rs they are beautiful during the
entire year. The American arbor-vit2,
Norway spruce and hemlock are recon-
mended for places where they will grow.
The buck-thorn, honey locust, barberry
and privet are hardy in most parts of
the country, and beautiful hedge may
be made of either of them. A hedge
very beautiful at the season of Towering
may be formed of the lilac and common
SNOWFALL. They are both quite hardy,
and are easily propagated by roots and
cuttings. A long sprout of either of
them, If bent down, fastened in position,
and covered with soil, will spread out
roots and branches and furnish several
plants These plants will not form
hedge that will turn cattle. but protec-
ton against them may be furnished by
barbed wires that will be hidden when
The plants are covered with foliage.
Ornamental hedges require considera-
BILE care. but they add greatly to the
appearance Of q farm, while they call
tor only small expenditure of money.

TREASURES ABOVE.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in
Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal.-udtt. s.: 10.
'Tis oft of beautiful city / hear
Whose walls are untouched with the blem-
Eternity's river flows crystal and clear.
And God is the light of the beautiful CLINE.
They tell me the pavements are cleaning
with gold;
The walls are OF jasper, and gateways of
pearl:
That over its beauty no shadows are rolled,
NO darkening tempests their banners UNI
furl
When nights starry silence is reigning SUI
And daylight has faded away In the west
Alone in the solitude quiet dream
or Heaven, the home of earth's brightest
and best.
Sometimes in my wandering fancy, it seems.
almost can hear the invisible choir
Its music send down, on the moons silver
beams
And wakeu song in my faltering Tyre.
The years roll along in their hurrying fight,
of earth;
My days will be spent as watch in the night
birth!
Then up I'm that beautiful city above
May some new treasure be storing away
Whose beauty shall kindle my heart into love
For God, the Great Light Of Eternity's Day.
What matter the rubies and jewels of earth,
Or pearls OF the Orient pillwed in goldl
Compared with the treasures that Heaven
doth hold.
No rust can corrupt, and no thief steal away,
The treasure have in the city of Love;
No darkness can shadow the glory of day.
That shines in that beautiful city above.

Better Beef and Mutton.

At last there seems to be reason for
hoping that breeders of beeves and sheep
will turn from the aims and WAYS of
breeders of porkers, and instead of
striving to produce the greatest guam
tity of fat, will aim to place before the
intoxicating public the greatest possible
amount of good, nutritious beef end
mutton for given outlay of food and
time. Since the Tribune called at
tention to the gross wastefulness IF the
old system large number of newspa-
pers have followed its example. The
Cleveland Herald says on this subject:
elf il ever comes down to a genuine
beef, not a carcass of fat, there is a
show that the Devons will work them
selves up to the point. Those who saw
the beeves after dressing at Chicago
would hardly select a roast or round
from one of them; the fat was so great
that there was a great waste in the pur-
chased beef. We need beef animal
something like the hog of a few years
since, streak of lean and streak of
fat. The citizen does not want to buy
tallow he cannot eat, but to get good
streak of lean he must buy the fat. )"
The movement in the direction of the
production of mutton and beef, tender
and juicy. vet free from masses of tai
low, may be fastened by offering
special premiums, valuable enough to
be worth competing for, to breeders
who shall at the fat-stock shows ex-
hibit those sheep and beeves which,
when stripped Of all superfuous fat.
shall show the greatest quantity and
most nutritious and palatable quality Of
flesh for the food and time given. It is
not altogether unlikely that this would
bring into greater prominence than
they have ever enjoyed breeds of stock
not now generally recognized as profit
able meat-producing animals. What
ever else might come from this. the
consumer of meat would be tickled in
taste and benefited in purse if not In
health -Csca5o Tribune.
