To Cool Water without Ice.

Procure a large jug, and cover it to thick
ness of half an inch with one or more layer of
any kind of coarse cloth, carpet or other ma
terial When filling the jug saturate the
jacket with water. Reep the jug in a windy,
shady place, and the evaporation of the water
in the jacket will absorb enough heat to keep
the water in the jug pleasantly cool. This is
called the cooling jacket method
tin pail fitted with very fine wire
gau2e lid, and a heavy saturated jacket, set in
a raised, shady window, furnishes a far better
place TO keep milk pure and sweet than nine

Tho Massachusetts Ploughman says: For
several years there has been n disease at work

to entirely destroy them. 1t is species of
fungus which affects both the wood and the

lieved by some to he the long continued prac.
tice of renewing, or rather propagating, trees
from cuttings instead of the seed The wood
has thus become old and has gathered up
diseases that it is very difficult to cure 1t is

exempt from disease; but if set in the vicinity
of diseased trees there would he danger that
they would net be able to ward Off the disease.

There has been run on coachmen

country were rotting at their wharves,
and gilded horseshoes were the fash

Then the drain of our foreign noble

The Cross.

Heavier the cross, the nearer heaven;
No cross without, no God within!
Death, Judgment from the heart are driven,
Amid the worlds false glare and din.
Oh happy he, with all his loss,
Whom God hath set beneath the cross.
Heavier the cross, the stronger faith;
The loaded palm strikes deeper root;
The vine juice sweetly issueth
When men have pressed the clustered fruit;
And courage grows where dangers come,
Like pearls beneath the salt sea foam.
Heavier the cross, the heartier prayer;
The bruised herbs most fragrant are.
If sky and wind were always fair,
The sailor would not watch the star;
And David's psalms had neer been sung,
If grief his heart had never wrung.
Heavier the cross, the more aspiring,
From wales we climb to mountain crest;
The pilgrim, of the desert tiring,
Longs for the Canaan of his rest.
The dove has here no rest in sight,
And to the ark she wings her flight.
Heavier the cross, easier dying;
Death is friendlier face to see;
To life's decay one bids defying,
From life's distress one then is free.
The cross sublimely lifts our faith
- To him who triumphed over death.
Thou Crucifed, the cross carry,
The longer, may it dearer be;
And lest faint while here tarry,
Implant Thou such heart in me,
That faith, hope, love may flourish there,
Till for the cross crown l wear.
