Proper Protection Of Stock.

The rule to be observed by every
farmer in regard to the proper keeping
of cattle is that every animal from the
greatest to the least should be kept
happy and saved from pain and misery.
Then the stock are proiitably kept, and
the profit is in proportion to the degree
of comfort enjoyed by them. Every
farmer before he rctires to his own
warm bed at night or before he eats
his abundant supper, should ask HIM
self: Are my cattle, horses, sheep.
pigs, and fowls resting in comfort and
with well filled bellies? If he can not
answer himself afiirmatively and his
conscience accuses him of neglect, let
him be assured that his pocket is suf-
fering just as much as his stock are,
and that, moreover, his conduct is just
as inhuman as if he prodded his ami
mails with a fork or beat them with
clubs.-N. z. Times.

The Gra,ste Falls Journal, Minnesota,
gives an account by N. o. Carle and
Christian Olson, farmers of Granite
Falls, of tug remarkable results of a
stroke of lightning which struck the
prairie abe 1t mile and a half from
Olson's hose. 1t occurred in June
last, during a heavy storm.
They say it made a hole in the ground
between FIVE and six feet across, and
nearly six ieet deep. and from this hole
there extend six trenches two feet deep,
branching off in different directions,
and extending for distance of from
six to eight rods. And what was
very singular, not particle Of
the sod and dirt thrown from the hole
and trenches was to be seen, except
now and sthen a large piece of sod
twenty or shirty rods away. Mr.. Olson
says that oy actual measurement the
bitches plowed out by the lightning
from where it struck were all of an
equal distance apart; four of them were
of the same length. and the other two
six feet shorter. The report is said to
have been as terrible as if an explosion
had occurred. A lady sitting at win-
dow in a house a mile away sensibly
felt the shock; two men were sitting
outside another house a mile away
from the scene, and so forcibly did they
feel it that they Immediately jumped
to their feet and went into the house
without speaking. Mr.. c. A. Bennett.

The English Church Congress OF
1886 will be held at Wakefield, on Gc-

Ripon has been chosen president for

AT late meeting of the Psesbyte-
rian Synod of Dakota the Indian women
reported having raised five hundred
dollars for missionary work among
their own people the past year. This
was more than all the money raised by
their white sisters in three societies.
Missionary work in Mexico is at
tended with hard work and slender re-
suits. A missionary preacher writes
that he and one other preacher are ex-
pected to supply eight churches, and
| also to open new fields Of labor. In
order to do this they will have to spread
themselves out exceedingly thin San
francisco Chronicle.
-Charlemagne in 789 gave these
| wise instructions: "Let some one open
schools to teach children to read; let,
in every monastery, in every bishopric,
some one teach psalms, writing, srith-
metic, grammar and employ correct
copies Of holy books; for often men
seeking to pray to God pray badly on

in France in the tenth and eleventh
| centuries there seems to have been a
kind of religious revival of peace.
The clergy preached it; religious en-
thusiasts went from village to village
proclaiming in the name of Christ, the
''Prince of Peace" and holy relies
| were brought to public places, on which
the wild barons swore VOW of peace.

taken to Boston, was adjudged lawful
prize and was condemned. Belle Boyd,
with the other passengers, and the Off
GERS and crew, were released and per-
mitted to go wherever they pleased.
From Boston they all went to Halifax,
and from thence to England.
The prize-master of the Greyhound
was young volunteer officer with the
rank Of acting Master in the United

fellow. 1t seems that while on board
of the Greyhound together, he and
Belle Boyd becsme greatly interested
in each other, snd their feelings ripened
into affectionae, friendship. After they
separated at Bsston a fervent corre-
spondence was commenced and con-
tinued between them, and they
became engaged. He resigned from

Chinese ideas of discipline are pecu-

office at Fussu Hong was attacked by
thirty bandits disguised as regular
troops. The officer in charge defended
the place brayely, and did not yield
until one of his men had been killed
and himself and five others wounded.
The robbers plundered the treasury,
set fire to the Office and rode off. In
any other country the officer would
have been commended for his courage,

the matter differently, and he was pro-

him, and was called upon to make

The Rights of inventors.

Rudolph G. Solomon. of Newark,
claims to have discovered valuable
secrets in connection with the manu-
facture Of Cordovan leather, and for
eoloring kangaroo, alligator and snake
skins. He employed a bookkeeper and
a superintendent, with the understand
ing that they were not to divulge the
secrets of the business. They, how
ever, after learning his methods, made
arrangements with two strangers to go
into business in Newark and compete
with Solomon. Chancellor Runyon
has issued an injunction against them,
holding that "a discoverer of secret
process of manufacture, whether patent
able or not, has property therein. -

LOVE NOW.

Won viii love me the day lie dying,
Oh! love me then living,
While yet from full heart replying,
I give to your giving.
What gain hath my lifetime of loving,
IL you pass it all by
To give me back treble my loving
In the hour die?
All anguish, all maddest adoring,
VIII be vain in that day.
Though You knelt to me then with imploring
What word could say?
OH love me- then, now, that it quicken
MY hearts failing breath.
Why wait till to love is to sicken
At the GOODNESS OF death?

5000 to $4,000; of native pastors from

of large and efficient body of native

borers with us in the evangslization OF
their people. N T. Tribune.
