LOST AND SAVED.

Last Thursday evening the largcS'
audience that has yet graced Centra
Hall gathered To listen to the Temper
ance Cantata, Lost and Saved" This
entertainment was gotten up under the
management of g. Cooper, for the ben
eit of the NJ. T.. Sabbath School. The
high character Of the play renders It's
proper presentation no easy matter; vet
the parts were taken so well as to dc
great credit to the performers, and
leave but little chance for censure by
the most fastidious critic.
The character Miss Alice Leith
afterwards Mrs. Harry Gray taken by
Miss Ada Lugsdin. was rendered Ill
such q natural manner as to seem q
real picture of life. Miss Lille Cooper
as Klttie Gray would have been difficult
to excel. The characters Of Mrs. Gray
and Little kittie well illustrated the
suffering and degradation that Il huS-
band and father can bring upon his
innocent family. j. &. Holden as Harry
| Gray, the lost and saved, rendered well
part by no means easy. The charaet-
ers Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Nane assum-
ed by Walter Wells and Miss Ida Boyd
were well sustained. The solos in these
parts were especially well rendered.

Sharp, an old maid, assumed her part
in an excellent manner. Her methods
of courtship caused much merriment
in the audience. Her conduct in this
respect, and as an advocate of temper
ance showed what women can do in
cases of necessity. The character Mr..
jerks. the bashful man. was well rep
resented by Will Holden. The parts
of Mr.. and Mrs. Leith were sustained
excellently by III. III. Holden and Miss
Albertha Rollins. w. W. Cowing re-
presented Lawyer Smirk in an able
manner. His arguments with Miss
Sharp illustrated in very lucid way
the respective positions Of the temper
ance and whisky elements of society at
the present time. 1t would be difficult
TO find q better representative landlord
than Henry Pearce made as Old Grim;
while James Cooper, Chas. Townsend,
Grant Holden, Johnny Grinnell and w.
W. COwing as Old Grim's customers
played their parts SO well as to bring
shouts of applause from the audience.
The singing by Miss Annie Merritt,
Mrs. Higgins and Miss Sarah Castor, as
the women crusaders. and of Miss Rada
Rapley. Miss Sarah Castor and Miss
Nettie Bell as Faith, Hope and Charity
was excellent. The tableaux shown
during the evening were expressive and
well adapted to the occasion. The
music rendered between the acts and
scenes by Mrs. III. III. Holden and Chas.
High, was excellent and well appreciat-
ed by the audience. Several of the
players during the evening received
bouquets. The audience were attentive
and seemed to appreciate the play very
much. The total receipts of the even
ing were S57.10. We believe that the
moral effects of this play will be con-
siderable, us a means Of illustrating the
burning curse of intemperance in
vivid and striking manner This drama
played so ably as it was, is worth
half-dozen temperance lectures.

Circle is the greatest blessing of our
civilization, but such a thing is not
possible when disease and death turks
on the threshold. One OF the most i'm
.portant matters to be attended to, is
that the Liver and Kidneys are in a
healthy condition. More trouble arises
from arrangement of these organs than
from any other cause, often resulting
in Diabetes, Bright's Disease, and other
difficulties that are generally counted
incurable. Parmelee's Dyspepsia, Dia-
betes, Kidney and Liver Cure will pre-
vent and cure all these difficulties with

A rainy day had housed US up in the

o'clock in the morning a man who

was placed in the stable, and, as the
two men entered the house, our host
observed:
"Wcll, Uncle Billy, how'll you trade

was the answer.
They returned to the stables and
talked until noon. Then we had din

OATS,
Uncertainties Arising from feeding Oats in
the Straw to Horses.

Uncertainties Arising from feeding Oats in
the Straw to Horses.
We have repeatedly seer unthrashed
oats fed to horses, and heard its ad-
vantages argued. But the principal
advantage which we see resulting from
this practice is the saving of the ex-
pcnse of thrashing the oats. Other
wise, we see no advantage, but consid-
cradle uncertainty and disadvantage.
1t has been argued that, as the grain
has a nutritive ratio of 1:6.1, and the
straw of 1893 therefore if the oats are
fed in the straw, the ration will be
about rightly balanced. Surprising
the two to be of equal weight, the
nutritive ratio would be 1:18.O, while
the nutritive ratio of the German ra-
ton for the moderately worked horse
is 1:7.0. This, as will be seen, makes
the ration all out of proportion, and
the greater the proportion Of straw,
the more the ration would be thrown
out of balance. Of course, good clover
hay, or other heterogeneous food may be
given.
But the trouble is not all in the diff
ficulty of balancing the ration. When
oats are fed in the straw, the amount
Of oats fed is all guess-work. The
bundles are not all of the same size.
Then if We resort to weighing. unless
the oats grows more evenly than any
we ever saw. the proportion of grain
to straw will hardly wei be the same.
The quantity Of grain fed will, there
fore, be constantly varying. We would
not, for these reasons, favor the prsc.
tioe Of feeding unthrashed oats. It is
better to thrash oats, and give the
horse a regular measure at each meal,
with all the good clover or timothy
hay needed.
Dat straw. when it Is ripe, may do
for filing and mechanically extending
the stomach, butts hardly needed, even
for this purpose. Tho nutritive ratio
Of g~ood-clover hay cut in blossom Is
1857, and Of the oats, 1:6.1--both about
right for hard work, the oats affordine
the concentrated food, and the clover
hay the bulky. In cold weather. with
. cold stable, the oat straw may be
added for fuel. Even then It would be
to burn 1t in 4 heater than in the
horse, and . warm stable is better than

FOR THE PROMENADE.
Elegant and Charming Street Dresses for
Midsummer Wear.

A pretty ummer cashmere of a pale
bronze, slightly tinged with yellow,
has the skirt cut with kilt plaits, over
which is handsomely draped pale ccru
surah with a deep lace front gathered
up on both sides quite high and carried
back, actually meeting the b~oufant
puffs. This style of drapery produces
a very fine effect in the set of the tah-
her. The basque is of the jersey style,
with postillion back and vest front,
which is of ecru-tinted velvet. A dress
of blue serge has a foot plating of blue
velvet, over which 10 a deep rutie with
the edge turned back in w.la and deep
points faced with velvet. The draping
is OF the two materials. The apron is
of serge, made very full with velvet
revers and velvet plastrons enriched
with cut jet ornaments. The basque
has a velvet vest almost covered with
jets. This mode is rich and unique in
appearance. A costume OF plum-tinted
watered silk, combined with ~velveteen
of the same shade, has the whole
adorned with jet trimmings. An ex-
ccedingly attractive dress for morning
wear at the seaside has the kilt skirt
made of fine batiste of a lemon shade,
with embroidered garniture, with an
azure blue surah silk sash and bows of
the same goods, disposed on the sides
and holding in place the back drapery.
A handsome pongee suit of a pale ccru
tinge has the drapery and vest formed
of figured pongee; bows of ribbon trim
prettily the basque and overskirt. A
neat and becoming dress of fine ging-
ham has the basque and overskirt
trimmed with black velvet; this mode
is certainly very odd and very snowy.

UNANSWERED.

II we could see the end
Waiting for us down the way,
The coming of life's night time
The closing of lite's day;
The last Of all our trials, our troubles and cur
pains,
b last Of all our losses, the last of all our
gains;
Would the hours seem as moments,
Or would they seem too long?
Would our hearts beat faint and fainter,
Or would they beat more strong?
There are Joys that give US heartacheS
There are pains that seem US kisses;
There are depths that lift us skyward,
There are heights that seem sbysses:
And our lives are not the brightest
When the sunniest hours infold them:
Our hearts are often lightest
When the heaviest sorrows hold them.
And these strange contrary feelings
Make us hold life's thread in wonder,
As we see by faith no farther
Than by sight, wherewith We blunder;
So we look toward the ending
OF our cares, and trials, aud hlisses,
And ask If death is darkness,
Or only light and kisses.
But no answering word comes to us
No replies, and no suggestions;
Doubt and fear each hour assail US,
Yet each hour brings newer questions
And the end, though coming nearer,
Is no nearer in its easing,
For the heart Keeps on it's wandering,
And the soul keeps on its teasing:
And the Sphinx of doubt and fear,
Still the soul doth tear and rend,
With its joyful, veXful question:
What if we could see the end2
