SELF EXAMIN ALTON

If we turn our thoughts to the stud
OF our own lives-taking the feelings,
the thoughts, the motives, the passions,
the ambitions; in fine, everything that
makes up what may DO termed our
inner life-and then look at our words,
our actions, our example, and our
position and influence, we shall proba-
bly, discover a good deal which could
De made better by little attention.
The business man will be made to ask
himself whether all his modes and
ways are exactly right and upright
whether by precept and example, he is
training up his sons and clerks to be
true aud right-minded, honorable men.
The woman of influence and wealth will
also be driven to consider her habits,
her principles, her ways, and her
fashions. Is she setting In her family
and out OF It, the example and pattern
which her daughters and others should
initiate? How atoui the simplicity and
Rodly conversation of Ter daily life? IL
Christ in it all, and does his spirit
run through 1t all?

RESPONSIVE READING.

In many Of the churches outside of
the Episcopal, the nabit OF responsive
reading Of the scriptures has come OF Is
coming into regular practice. We hail
this departure from the old custom of
listening TO reading merely by the pas.
tor rs decided Improvement in church
worship. In the first place, 1t requires
far more liked attention Tor even
though one follows the words AZ read
by another person, yet II requires o
more careful following TO be able to re.
spend promptly at intermediate verses.
Then the children, az we'll rs grown
people, like TO take some active part In
the service, and 1t IL delightful to hear
the sweet voices Of the children, as in
unison with their parents they read the
word OF God.
In many Christian families the habit
OF reading round" at prayers servesto
make scripture reading and truths ia
milier forever afterwards with the diff
ferent m-mb beers Of the circle partici-
pating In family worship, particularly
the children, who in this way early
form a habit Of reading the Bible
Different members Il the great human
family are much alike Ia some respects
We all enjoy and appreciate most fully
that in which We can take some active
part. A great deal In said, aud very
properly said from time to time, about
the questionable reading matter which
IL constantly increasing, noticeably
aUong the young. How many parents,
we wonder, regard it rs "A duty ~ well
AS n privilege To give child good

after II learns TO real.
We all know what n sense of pride

possession II can feel liz its very own.

UNITING MEANS.

Nothing IL more remarkable in the
Bible than TO see how God, az If To
teach us to trust in nothing and In
none but himself, selects meaus that
see the worst fitted TO aceompl sh his
end. Does he choose an am bassador
to Pharoah Pit IL u man of stammer
ing tongue, Are the streams of Jericho
To be sweetened salt IL cast into the
spring. Are the eyes of the blind to be
opened they are rubbed with clay.
Are the battlements of a city " be
thrown down?-the means employed
is, not the blast of mine, but the
br.ath OF an empty 'rumpet.
Is rock TO be riven p the lightning Is
left TO sleep above and the earthquake
with Its throes to sleep below, and the
Instrument IL one, a roo much more
likly TO be shivtreG on the rock than to
shiver 1t. IL the world 70 be converted
by preaching, and won from sensual
delights TO faith whose symbol il q
cross, and whose crown IL TO be won
among the fires Of martyrdom l-av-
ing schools, aid halls, and colleges, God
summons his preachers froEI the shores
of Ga!ilee.
The helm of the church is entrusted
TO hands that had never steered auRht
but a fishing boat and by the mouth
OF one who had been its bloodiest per
secutor. Christ pleads his cause before
the philosophers of Athens and in the
palaces of Rome.

Setting small FruIrs in ,hs FalI.

We know that it would be to our advau-
tage pecuniarily to urge our readers who are
writing us about setting out large plantations
of strawberries, and who want plants by the
thousand for that purpose, to recommend
fall setting, but as a rule, we cannot do it
and be true to their interest Where but a
few hundred are wanted to start new kinds,
or TO get little fruit next year. we recon.
mend setting next month, az small beds are
properly cared for after setting aud protected
through the winter by mulching, but do not
recommend setting out plants in quantities
for market purposes before spring. unless it
be south of Virginia, where winters are mild
and they can be set in November. Septem-
Der il the best month for fall setting of a
few dozen or hundred plants, although we
have had good luck with October setting,
and even in November. But for blackberries
and raspberries we say most emphatically,
the fall setting is far preferable, and we pro-
pose setting this fall about thirty acres, dri-
wing over ground just before freezing weather
begins and throwing a forkful of manure
over each hill az a winter protection. Our
experience in setting both spring and fall,
ia that we get nearly double the growth the
first year from those set in fall over the ones
set in spring. and the following year nearly
double crop-that IL, if set this fall they
will make nearly double the growth next
season over those set next spring, and in
1887 we get about double the crop. Fruit

Cruelty OF the Horse Trot.

A fast trotter is not wanted, nor is fit for a
farm horse, team horse family horse,
roadster, journey horse, nor for any other
use except to trOt fast, and for that use not
one in five thousand wants him. We have
laws against cruelty to animals. Does any
one believe that horse can be trained to get
out OF him the greatest possible amount of
speed down to quarter of a second of time
in mile without cruelty to the animal? II
compelling horse or an OK to exp nd h 8 ut
most strength in drawing great load s cruel
ty, then do not see why compelling a horse
TO expend his utmost speed to get over Civ
en- distance ia not cruelty also. The bull fights
of Spain are condemned for their cruelty to
