THE CROWD WHO PASS Us.-You cam
not read the lot of those who daily pass by
you in the street. How do you know the
wild man of their lives-the trials,
the temptations they are even now endu-
ring, resisting, sinking under? You may
be elbowed one instant by the girl desper-
ate in her abandonment, laughing in mad
merriment with her outward gesture,
while her soul is longing for the rest of the
dead, and bringing itself to think of the
cold-1owing river as the only mercy OF
God remaining to her here. You may
pass the criminal meditating crimes at
which you will tomorrow shudder with
horror as you read them. You may push
against. one humble and unnoticed, the last
upon earth, who in heaven will forever be
in the immediate light of Gods counte-
tenance. Errands Of mercy-errands of
sin-did you ever think where all the
thousands of people you daily meet are
bound ?-iSelected.

THE KICKING Cow.-Take a half inch
or three-eighths rope, double it, pass it
around the body of the cow forward of the
udder, bringing the ends through the loop,
draw tight and make fast with aslip knot,
and the cow will not kick, says a friend
of Mr.. Coburn's Indicator, because she can't
arch her back. A COW does not kick I'M

DARK AND LIGHT EGGs.-The suppo-
sition that dark-colored eggs are richer
than those that are light colored is only a
popular notion. The shell gives very little
indication of the quality of an egg. Dark
yolks are sometimes preferred owing to
the deeper color, but very often the light
shell eggs will contain darker yolks than
those that are dark-colored on the shell,
and something depends also upon the feed.

aa~ If wheat, corn, cotton or tobacco be
sown or planted for successive years, the
land will become exhausted and often de-
serted, and the region %depopulated, as was
the case in Virginia and many of the Older
States. Experience has shown that land
annually demands Il change of crops to
Weld to the farmer full reward for his

the discovery of new crops that must re-
store again the wasted lands of the Older

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL PoINT.-Far-
mers should know that in many OF the
States an oral lease of real estate for a pc.
riod longer than n year is void; n
that in constituting the law the courts hold
that when an oral lease of real estate is
made, and the term does not begin at the
time the lease is made, the lease is void.
For example, on January 80, A orally
leases B land for one year from February
1st following. Here a day interVenes BE-
tween the time of the making of the lease
and the beginning of the term, and the
lease is void. No amount of oral evidence
can make it good. If the year dated from
January 80, giving B immediate posses
sion of the land, it would be good: How
ever it would be better to have the lease
put in writing, and it should be carefully
written, every condition being fully and
accurately stated. Let the lease be made
in duplicate, each party to it having a
COPY. An oral lease is almost sure 10 Lead
to disputes. Its terms may be misunder-
stood at the time, and misunderstanding
will arise as memory fades. The law IS
partial to written evidence, because a man
considers more what he writes than n
he speaks. All such papers should be
carefully and neatly written the best law.

PIGEONS ON THE FARM.-Pigeons sci
dom do as much injury as they do good.
They destroy a good many insects, and
though fond of seeds, disturb the
plants after they have started. Even du'
ring the season when the seed cannot be
injured they keep busy hunting for insects,
as they begin a new brood almost as soon
as the previous one is fedged. Old pigeons
are not sought, but the squads are delica-
cies, and bring good prices. In proper
ton to cost, pigeons are very profitable.

of wheat as a result of narrowing IN tne

SPRING OATS.

The acreage sown in fall oats is much
less than usual. The freezing out or a
large portion of the crop of 1887 by the
hard freezes of January 1887, had a most
discouraging effect, which prevailed in
some parts of the country during the SOW
ing season. The oat crop, however, is TOO
valuable, and in the long run too reliable,
to be given up. Spring sowing costs little
more than the seed, even if the crop fails
from drouth and a good breadth-elght
or ten acres at least to each pillow run
should be put in. In our Judgment
founded upon experience and oSserva-
tion-oats sown in February are much less
liable to injury by freezing that if sown
in January. Sowing in the old twelve
days'' smacks more of superstition and
sentiment than sound reason. Our hard
est weather is usually from December 70
to February l, and it is not often That
oats in February are killed by freezing.
The soil for spring oats if not already fer
tile. should be we'll MANFRED and deeply
and closely ploWed-the latter to guard
against drouth as much a. possible. If
the land be cross ploWed so as to leave the
burrows partly open, the seed may be
sown broadcast and narrowed in with
good results. Cotton seed, or the meal
alone, or in compost with acid phosphate
and potash, makes an excellent fertilizer
for oats. The crop requires rather more
ammonia and potash than the percentage
usually found in commercial ammoniated
phosphates.
Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest
for spring sowing, as it will mature In
100 to 120 days when sown in FEBRUARY or
March, according to latitude. Sow plen-
ty of seed; the later the sowing, the heav-
Ter should be the seeding. Allowing for
Weld of twenty fold, is a pretty safe gen.
eral rule unless the expecting yield, or
capacity of the land is small, in which
case the seeding should be somewhat
heavier than this rule would indicate, and

Honor the Dear Old Mother.

Time has scattered the snowy flakes
on her brow, plowed deep burrows on
her cheeks, but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips are thin and
shrunken, but these are lips which have
kissed many hot tear from the child
ish cheek, and they are the sweetest
lips in all the world.
The eye is dim, yet it glows with the
rapt radiance of a holy love, which can
never fade.
Oh, yes, she is dear old mother.
The sands of time are nearly run out,
but feeble as she is, they will GO further,
and reach down lower for you than any
other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight
where she cannot see you; you cannot
enter prison whose bars shall keep
her out; you can never mount scat
fold too high for her to reach, that she
may kiss and bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love,
when the world shall despise and for
sake you when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you up in her feeble
arms, carry you home and tell you of all
your virtues, until you almost forget
that your soul is disfigured by vices.
Love her tenderly, and cheer her de-
cliniug years with holy devotion.
Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1888-12-20
Children and the Church.

A few years ago "a great deal was
written about the children's attendance
at church, and plans were proposed to
secure il. There is no proof like sue
cess, and in our church we have sue
cceded. 1t is fairly large church in
country town, and on Sunday morning
you will see rows OF little heads, of all
sizes, with the oldcr brothers and sis
tiers, and parents in the pews. Yes,
in some cases, overlooking into the
second pew. The older children do
not congregate in tho back pews, but
sit with the family, even the young
men. II is lovely sight.
What is the reason? Simply this
that it has been the custom always to
take the children from their early
years to church. Our fathers did it,
the elders did IL; the children, not al
ways liking it, never dreamed of any
thing else, and grew up in this way.
When we go to city church, and
see the meagre attendance of the chill
dren, the pews filed, or not filled, with
grown people, only here and there q
child, we are struck with the contrast,
and thankful for the good old ways.
Habit Is strong, a little self denial Is
wholesome and does not hurt child,
and many sweet and hallowed In
fluences come into its young life as IL
worships with cody parents in Gods
house. Anon.
