FIVE points: First-Christians should
not play cards for amusement, because
it is a waste of time. Second-They
should not play cards because it dissi-

not play cards because the example to
others is one that is injurious. Fourth
They should not play cards because
it leads to gambling. Fifth-They
should not play cards because whist,
the Christian game, as generally
played to-day, is gambling.

The Climate of Australia.

Night in Australia! How impOssi-
BILE to describe its beauty! Heaven
seems. in that new world, so much
nearer to earth! Every star stands
out so bright and so particular, as if
fresh from the time when the Maker
willed it; and the moon. like a large.
silvery sun-the least objection to
which is it shines so distinct and SO
still. Now and then sound breaks
the silence, but sound so much in
harmony with the solitude that it only
deepens its charms Hank! the low
cry of the night-birds from yonder
glen, amid the small. gray, gleamy
rocks. Hark! as the night deepens,
the bark of the distant watchdog. or
the low, strange howl of his more
savage species, from which he defends
the fold. Hark! the echo catches the
sound. and filings it sportily from hill
to hill-farther and farther down. till
all again is hushed, and the flowers
hang noiselessly over your head, as
you ride through grove of giant gum
trees. Now the air is literally charged
with odors. and the sense of fragrance
grows almost painful in its pleasure.
You quicken your pace. and escape
again into the open plains and the full
moonlight and through the slender
tea trees catch the CLEAN of the river.

phere, and hear the soothing sound
of its gentle murmur.-N. Y. Ledger.

HOMEMADE FERTILIZER.

An Ohio man, writing to the
National Stockman, tells how his
poultry increased his wheat yield
five to ten bushels per acre.
In the fall after the corn is put in
shock, when the ground is dry, l
gather three or four loads of the
richest ana finest soil to be found in
the corn field and put it under
cover to be used in the winter.
Once a week the droppings are
gathered from the poultry house and
put IN a dry place, where they are
covered with about half as much
dirt as there is droppings. This
dries them out and prevents the es-
cape of ammonia. This is turned
over few times during the summer
to thoroughly mix and dry. Then
it is sifted to take out any feathers
or straws that might choke the
drill. Now it is ready for use and
can be put in with any drill that
has phosphate attachment, as well
as any of the commercial fertilizers,
and will give as good results in both
wheat and grain with about one
fourth the expense. About one
barrel per acre is what seems to
give the best results at my place.
My little boy, ten years old, sits
six barrels day and has some time
to play. | have tried the above for
several years and think it pays me

THEY COME.

Ireland no longer sends the great
est number Of emigrants to this
country. being behind Scotland and
England. During last September
and October the number of emi
grants from these countries was
three times the number from Ire
land. During the ten months of
1883 ending in October. there came
237 ,814 English and Scotch emil
grants, against l29,779 from Ireland.
The influx from Italy also bids fair
to overshadow that from Ireland.
The fact is Ireland is much depop-
ulated already but if all her down
trodden, poverty stricken people
should leave there would be few
left but landlords. British rule is a
rule for the few rather than the
many, rule to make the rich fewer
and richer and the poor more num-
erous and poorer. 1t ought to be a
warning to America. yet we are
bound to say that the tendency is
the same way in this country.-Ft.

1t is not the aim and object of the
Alliance to control the politics of
the country. The farmers have a
far nobler work before them and it
should be clearly understood by the
world that the Alliance movement
is not political one, but one which
has Tor its first and pre-eminent
work, that of placing the farmer in
positions of independence, ease and
comfort, 1t is the farmers right to
stand high above all other classes of
men in the point of freedom and
rest, and the full and free enjoy
ments Of home and family. He
alone can live without the assistance
OF others. All other men are more
or less at the mercy Of the farmer.
The place for the farmer, whether
an Alliance member or not, is at
home and out OF politics.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

In 1868, three years after the
close of the war, and just twenty
years ago, southern man welded
a nothern bride and located in
North Georgia. Two bright and in
teresting children, both girls, were
born. The father died and the
mother returned to Massachusetts,,
her former home, taking one of the
girls, the youngest, with her, and
leaving the other one with an un-
Gle in Georgia. That was sixteen
years ago. The youngest was an
infant and the other child not quite
two years old. The sisters have
never seen each other since until
few days ago. When the fast mail
train rolled in a few days since
from New York, a fair young girl
stepped out on the platform and
looked wlstfully around. The sis
ter, who has always lived in Geor-
gia, was keenly watching the pas
sengers as one after another alight
ed. With the instinct of a sister,
she rushed forward and clasped, for
the first time, a sister whom she
did not remember. The meeting
was an affecting one. The reporter,
who, knowing the circumstances,
witnessed it, and he frankly con-
fesses, with moisten eyes. The Sis
ters are Misses Carrie and Mary
Atkins, the latter having been for
some time with Miss Kate Collins in
her millinery store. She is known
by many of our readers. The young
ladies were brought together by
their uncle, Mr.. R. c. Lambert, at
whose home they are living

FARM HOME COMFORT

While not as delinquent in res

fort as in the matter of protection
to dumb animals, yet it is often a
reproach to the otherwise good
name and reputation of many farm
ers that they give so little attention
to the various matters that 90 to
make up the sum total Of household
comfort and happiness. Big cotton
crops, plenty of provisions, album
dant house-room, and etc., do not
of themselves supply all the de-
mands of comfort and contentment.
though afording the means and re-
moving the shadow of excuse for
failure. There is no reason why
farmer should not have as comforta-
bic home and as convenient appli-
ances (gas light and water works
only excepted as in the town or
city. Now is the time to make
these arrangements and provisions
for the coming winter. Important

comfort and family contentment and
happiness at all times they are two

the dwelling. Provide an abundant

health and cheerfulness promoted,
and home made happy.-Southern
