ing criminal newspapers at the news
stands, but what shall we think OF
those who habitually steal the reading
of themf A Young lady in Baltimore
was recently discovered by her prom
ised husband eagerly perusing dis
reputable newspaper which she had
stolen from her brothers room. He
may not have been guiltless himself,
but the sight of the woman he loved
feasting on moral filth sickened him,
and he went away to come back no
more.
When the news hawkeTs' cry sound
ed through the city streets, "Pall Mall
Gazette only ten cents !" one could
not but feel that he walked on higher
ground for refusing to invest his
money, or to steal taste of the black
story out of a borrowed purchase, or
over a neighbours shoulder. We shun
evil effectually only when we shun all
unnecessary acquaintance with its pic
lures. blessed are the pure in heart"
The sequel to the beautiful words re-
peated by the peasant girl to the
thOughtless young man are almost as
like that blessing on the Mount as if
our Saviour had quoted it from the 33d
of Isaiah Chime eyes shall see the
King in His beauty" The pure in

riOsity and evil tastes and temptations,

Stunning VileneSs.
BY REV. THERON BROWN.

A young neighbor called one even
ing to spend an hour with an English
peasant family. In the conversation
that followed he made allusiOn to IL
horrible crime that recently had been
committed in an adjacent town, and
pulled newspaper out of his pocket
to read the details. But he had not
finished the first sentence before the
father stopped him.
'We1l have no more of that here"
he said.
"Why not ?" inquired the young man.
at is all true"
But the peasant was not a man to
waste words. The silence that ensued
was more significant than any reply
could have been. 1t was broken by
the low, sweet voice of an invalid
daughter, who sat by the fireside
propped mp by pillows in an easy chair.
ale that stOppeth his ears from
hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes
from seeing evil, he shall dwell on

The rebuke was not lost upon the
Young man and an nDforgOtten scene
was wildly present to the mind OF
another daughter, when, after years of
service, she was promoted to the
housekeeper's place in an aristocratiC
home, and saw the under-servauts
habitually reading papers that pub
lished all the particulars of wickedness
Panied at the evidences of low and
mischievOus taste, the pure minded
/ girl succeeded in shaming the curiOsi-
| " that craved such reading, and be-
| fore long her influence banished every
objectionable paper from the house
and supplied the servants with mental
enter tainmcnt that was wholesome and

I of this homogeneous mixture of charac-
tiers. The conversations, as Is the
habit of our author, are made sufficient
I ~ bright, racy aud piquant. The Sax
on officers are gentlemen, eminent for
military prowess. education and refine
ment. All the members of the house
hold except the young countess appar-
emily accept the situation and fall into
friendly relationship with the new
Corners. She alone, full of inherited
prejudice and hatred for the enemy and
loyalty TO the land of her birth, keeps
aloOf. But time and necessary incl
dental association soon partially over
come her animOsities and the heroine
at last finds her fate. The strongest
and most individual character of the
group is the Able, who with all the
craft of Jesuit. though sworn to neu-
trality, serves his country under the
very noses of the officers sent to keep
surveillance over the movements of the
family. He endeavors to induce the
countess to join him. She, not less
loyal to her country but more loyal to
her conscience, refuses her aid. The
strongest scenes in the story are those
where the Able and the countess come
into collision; 1t was from the old
tower that the Able succeeded in sig
mailing to the besieged the contemplate
ed movements of the besiegers, which
he gathered by means of conversations
al feelers and open eyes and alert ears.
One is left in doubt whether or not the
old marquis is cognizant of the treach-
cry of the priest, and may find it diff
cult to decide which savOrs most of
virtue, the partisan conduct of the
priest or neutrality of the countess.

Skating-Rink Fever.

Now that the long and cool evenings
have drawn on, we may look for re-
newal of the skating rink fever. This
pastime has been almost universally
condemned by our best physicians, on
physical grounds, rs perilOus and ruin
Gus to the body. The secular press,
with almost equal uuanimity, has con
demned it on moral grounds. 1t ought
certainly to have no very warm favor
with the Christian public. Christian
parents and Christians cannot be too
wideawake in the matter. The former
should be most guardful of their chill
dren, where Young to exercise authOri-
ty, where mature to persuade them on
physical and moral grounds to shun
the rink and it Ought surely not to be
asking too much of Christians that on
moral grounds they cannot afford to
give it countenance. Many persons,
however, think that the pastme is en-
tirely innocent, but they are deceived
because its moral dangers are so subtle.
Our young people need no encourage
ment to blunt that innate reserve which
ought to he cherished as one of their
most sacred moral jewels. We need
not urge them into miscellaneous com
pany, to be iOstled and addressed fa-
miliarly, and to breathe IN atmosphere
that is itself moral poison. The skat-
ing-rink has already borne too much
sad fruit for any one to deny its bad
moral tendency; and this declaration
rests upon no easy testimony of reli-
gious zcalots, but if the utterance of
the New York chief of police force can
be relied upon, his testimony should
awaken solicitude in the minds of
thoughtful people. "Roller skating
rinks," are his words, "ruin more girls
than all other causes combined. My
police records are full of such cases"
We commend these words to Christian
parents and Christians.-[Vt Vt. ChrOni-

Treatment of Good Cow

Dairymen should remember that a
well-fed COW is different animal i'll
many respects from thin COW. And
this difference is never more apparent
or important than ut the time of calv-
ing. A COW in poor condition needs
rest for two or three months, and there
is little danger of inflammation of the
udder unless she is highly fed. But a
COW that has been kept in a high con
dition is no doubt safer if MIXED all
the time till she calves. If the milk
ing is stopped while she is giving a
good flow it makes II change in the
system which, added to the increasing
inflammation resulting from her con-
dition, is apt to make trouble and end
in milk feVer.

The Price of Beer and Whiskey

Temperance advocates tell us that if
everybody would stop drinking beer
and whiskey, business would imme-
diately revive. That sounds like an
overdrawn statement, but it has often
been shown that those who drink pay
more money into the Golfers of the sa-
looms than the whole country pays in
taxes. If it were not so evident that
the appetite clouds the reason it would
appear amazing that men, who will
haggle over few cents in the price of
a pair of boots, which are sold ut Il
very small profit, or will buy adnlter-
ated coffee because it is Il little cheap
CT than the genuine, will pay immense
profits on the beer and whiskey they
drink without a thought of the way in
which they are imposed upon. The
following statistics are quoted to IL
lustrate this drain upon the drinkers t:
A glass of beer costs five cents. There
are GAO glasses in barrel, so that the
retailer receives S;2 for every barrel of
beer he draws. The profit is some
thing like 400 per cent. At least 3D.
0OO, 900 barrels of beer were consumed
in this country last year, for which the
drinkers paid the aggregate of $780,
600, 900. Whiskey and other strong
drinks average seven cents glass or
$4.4S Il gallon at retail. About 7S.-
900, 900 gallons were imbibed in this
country last year, the drinkers paying
therefor nearly S350, zoo, 900. Now
surprising this $6OO,OOO, 900 spent year
| " for drinks that do no good, were
saved or spent for articles of use and
real comfort. The vast sum would
buy good suit of clothes for every
man in the land, give every woman a
decent dress and bonnet, and clOthe
and shoe every child. The ecOnomi-
cal uses of $500 900, 900, put where it
would do the most good instead of
where it does the most evil, are meal
culable, and those who tell us that
business would at once revive if every
body stopped drinking, do not appear
to be very far out of the way after all

suniower Seed for Chickens.

The New York Sun says: Very
many of the spring chickens sold in
this city are raised on sunhower seed.
At many points in New Jersey there
are chicken farms where chickens are
raised by the thousand. Many receive
their first start i'll life from the incuba-
tor, and when large enough are put on
diet of suntiOwer seeds. The chick
ems are very fond of the seeds, which
are full of oil and very tattening. The
sunflower gives little trouble to the
farmer, as it is a hardy plant and
grows without cultivation. Some
farmers plant three or four acres Oi
sunflOwers, and such fields have Il sur
prisingly gaudy appearance. The per
fume is sickening, but when turned
into spring chicken the suntlOwer be-
comes pleasing table ornament.
