Happy Old Age.

Now it is quite true that the great
majority of men, and even good
Christians, can not attain to the
thought of a happy old age without
a hard struggle. We have natural
reluctance to the feeling that we are
growing old; we put it away, and
when something at last forces it upon
us it is like the rush of an armed
man from an ambush or the flake of
the first snow to tell us that the long
summer days are gone and that win
ter is at hand. And yet, as you
have seen, it is the transition that is
the most painful. When the first
days of brown October show us the
fresh green leaves of summer, now
sere and yellow, dropping from the
boughs under the wind that walls
through the thin woods, we can not
help a feeling of sadness creeping
over the heart. But when winter
has come it has it's own enjoyments.
There is the long, quiet evening, the
cheerful CLEAN Of the hearth, the
closer bosom of the family and of
friendship, the pleasant memories of
summer and the hopes of its return
these give to winter it's gladness and
even its glow. If we are in this tran
sition, or nearing it, we should seek
to realize it and rise above it by
looking forward. Every time of
life to a true man is only transi-
ton to something better. 81 am
growing old; yes, am growing old.
Lord, teach me to count my days
and to look not so much wistfully
back as hopefully forward-forward
to the quiet peace and happy tho'ts
which God can give in winter, and
still further, to the day when winter
shall be past and the rains over and
gone and the time of the singing of
the birds shall again have come

Fall Seeding to Grass.

If the season is favorable, sowing
grass seed in the fall is preferable
to sowing in the spring. The work
ought to be done sufficiently early
so that good start to grow can be
secured before cold, freezing wealth
er sets in. After it once secures a
start in the fall, grass will withstand
considerable freezing, but if very
Young and tender it will often be
quite seriously injured by a freeze.
In some localities and under GER
tain conditions it may answer to SOW
the seed on wheat or oats stubble,
without a good preparation of the
soil yet as a rule the best plan of
management is to pillow the soil
thoroughly, the same as for any
other crop, and then harrow and
roll until in a good filth. One very
important item in securing a good
yield of grass is to have good even
stand, and by having the soil in good
condition this can be secured more
readily than if the seed is sown on
stubble or even on rough plowed
land. Moisture and contact with the
soil, to a greater or less extent, are
necessary to secure good germi-
nation of seed of any kind, and as
a rule the nearer we can supply these
conditions the better the germina-
ton and the more favorable the
chances of the plants making a
good growth, By having soil well
prepared in filth the conditions of
termination are much better. 1t is
an item not only to secure a good
termination, but also to afford the
plants better opportunity of MAX
ing a good growth.
With a good termination of the
seed and favorable conditions of
growth, a good, vigorous growth can
be much more readily secured than
if the seed is sown on uneven or
poorly prepared soil. When pos
possible the soil should be prepared
and the seed sown reasonably early
so that good start to grow can be
secured in the fall. Use plenty of
seed. Usually there is much less
danger of sowing too thick than of
sowing too thin. While of course
it is not desirable to waste seed, at
the same time it is more economical
to use plenty of seed and secure a
good even stand than to economic
the seed too much and fail to secure
a good stand. There is one advan-
tage in fall seeding and that is if
we fail to secure stand in the fall
the fact can be ascertained in time
to reseed again in the spring. And
if a good stand can be secured in the
fall fair crop of hay can be secured
the following summer. - Indiana

after severe loss they were obliged
to retreat. In vain did the sergeant
endeavor to rally his men; he was
borne along by the current. Over
powered with shame and rage, he
gave way to a sort of madness and
swore such fearful oaths that it was
awful to hear him. But when the
battle was over, and he had returned
to his tent, he spent most of the
night in prayer and was often heard
sobbing like child. He never spoke
of the strange outburst of that day
to any of his comrades, and they
had the delicacy to avoid illusion to
the subject. But it was observed
that he was more humble, kind and
considerate in his bearing from that
day forward.

THE BLUEBIRD's ANCESTRY
line with these is another observation
which | made two summers ago, and
was enabled to confirm last summer.
Our bluebird is no doubt modified
thrush that is, it's ancestor in the
remote past was doubtless of the
thrush family. One evidence of this
is the fact that the young of the blue
bird has a speckled breast like the
thrush; and Darwin established the
principle that peculiar markings or
traits confined to the youth of any
species are an. Inheritance from early
progenitors. In addition to this. |
have noted in the song of the female
bluebird--one of a pair that for two
seasons have built near me-a dis
tinct note of the thrush Whenever
I hear the voice of this bird it reminds
me of that of certain thrush-the

Pure in Heart.

And whatsoever things are pure.
All that this warning might reach
the heart of every one of you and
inspire you with the resolute effort
to Danish from your minds everything
that defileth. As on the one hand
there is nothing in this world more
exquisite than a soul from which the
bloom and dew of innocence have
not been swept away, as there is
nothing more divine on earth than
the indignant blush of modesty on
the pure young cheek, SO there is
nothing more wretched than he whose
soul is a desecrated temple, abound
ing in chambers of unclean imagery,
haunted by the spirits of impure and
polluted thoughts. Alas this I'M
sullied loneliness of soul is only pos
sible to those who guard it like the
golden apples of the Hesperides. 1t
is gone for those who dwell upon
unhallowed thoughts, who long for
the poisonous fruit of the tree of the
knowledge of evil, who indulge in a
base and morbid curiosity, who have
once given themselves over to work
all uncleanliness with greediness.
Remember that thoughts are under
our own control, that it is our own
fault if we indulge in them, that the
thought of wickedness is sin, that
God sees and knows our most Sc
cret thoughts, that impure thoughts
voluntarily encouraged lead inevita-
bly, to fatal deeds and blighted lives.
There is no more sure way to blast
as with the poisonous breath of
sirocco, every green leaf and fair
flower of youth than to subject it to
the hot breath of lewd imaginations.
/ can imagine no worse misfortune
that could happen to any youth than
wilful and guilty indulgence in the
pollution of debasing thoughts. He
can eject, he can suppress, he can
refuse them a Judgment if he will,
and if he does not-oh, youth, thou
art indeed unhappy!

Fall Feeding.


there will be great amount of in
struction and some wisdom turned
loose upon the farmers on the SUBJ
ject of turning stock into moving
fields. The popular, stereotyped adj
vice is, don't do it. The question
is, which has the best support in
fact or in sound argument. If hay
to pack in the barn and keep as
hay was the end object of farming,
there would be a strong argument
for making all other things contrib
ute their share, however small, for
the benefit of the hay crop. But
among common farmers grass. is
grown and hay secured for stock
food, and when a crop of grass has
been cured for hay and an after
crop springs up that is hardly worth
cutting but is excellent grazing for
stock, is it policy to let it rot and
furnish nests for mice which will
spend the winter gnawing fruit
trees and eating grass roots, and
feed stock with hay already stored
away for winter at time when they
would do much better in the field
and cut their own food? OF course
extremes are to be avoided, but it is
a question worthy of consideration
whether the mulching furnished by
a few inches of grass will be worth
enough to the next crop to pay for
keeping stock in the barn a month
longer than is necessary and feed
ing them on hay already stored when
they might live on grass that will
otherwise go to waste.
People who do so much preaching
about keeping cattle off moving
lands seem to forget all about the
pastures. Their sympathy is ex-
hausted before they get so far from
the barn. If grass in the fields
needs winter protection, why would
not the pastures be benefited by
having a few weeks to prepare them
selves for winter with a slight pro-
lection? The tramping Of stock
when the ground is soft after the
fall rains is often referred to as one
of the evils of fall grazing. But
moving fields are plowed up and
reseeded every few years, while most
of the pasture land in New England
is not plowed at all, and suffers as
much from being tramped while wet
as the fields do, and no remedy can
be applied to it. A good pasture is
the best part of the farm, and if
farmers and writer's would realize
it and expend some of their surplus
solicitude in that direction instead of
treating it as helpless victim for
abuse because it is over back where
the neighbors will be making remarks
about it, there might be little more
consistency in some of their teach
ings. OF course it is not wise to
have the grass gnawed close to the
roots after all growth has ceased,
but if it is to be done anywhere let
it be in field that can be plowed
and reseeded instead of in the pas
ture. In some cases this opposition
to fall grazing has been carried so
far that rank growth of grass has
been left on the ground, which made
so deep a covering that the roots
were smothered and failed to appear,
being dead in the spring. This is
one side of the question.-Mtrror |

Gentlemen-Seven years ago I contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison.
tried a physician, the best at command, but
secure1 no benefit. My throat began to
get sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, 1
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. l gave up the doctors treat
ment, and with despairing hope COM
menced taking your medicine. l began to
improve from the first bottle, and in short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me; but two bottles of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.
