Forests Increasing.

Illinois is probably the only State tho
Union in which forest trees are increas-
ing, but here the gain is great, says
writer in the Chicago Herald. The vast
level plains that were once called s'tree-
less prairies" are now dotted with beauti-
full groves in which song birds congre-
gate and raise their young. Many towns
in which all the buildings were conspicui
GUS for distance of twenty miles are
now completely hidden by trees. On
great number of farms the rows of trees
that were planted to serve as protection
against the wind have extended till they
occupy several rods of ground. Small
natural groves that were protected from
prairie fires have extended on each side,
till they now cover many acres. In several
counties there are artificial forests of con-
siderable extent. /
The increase of forest trees in Illinois
is due to several causes. Soft coal Is.
cheap, and it has been generally used as
fuel. More hedges wero planted in II
linois than in any other Of the States.
Bsrbed wire was invented and first
brought into use here. These two SUBJ
stitutes for boards end rails. in making
farm fences have saved vast amount Oh
lumber.

Onions vs.. Snakes.

A correspondent of the Kennebect Jour-
nal sent in the following "snake story"
Captain John P. Farrow, of slesboro,
Me-, like many other retired shipmasters,
finds amusement in his leisure hours BY the
cultivation of farm, on which he raises
all sorts of vegetables. Bis onions IN
particular were the envy of all around:
Though he took no precaution against
maggots, the vegetables were never
harmed by these little pests, which almost
wholly destroyed his neighbor's onions.l
One day, while surveying with pride thia
model patch, the Captain saw a large
brown snake, some three feet in length,
cautiously emerge from neighboring
rock-pile and, starting at the corners OF
the bed, slowly promenade up one row
of onions and down the next, till, seeing
the visitor, he vanished amid the rocks
Every day after this the serpent went
through the same performance, till Caps
tain Farrow, who has natural antipathy
to snakes; hit him in the head with q
cleverly thrown stone. With reproach--
full glance he wriggled away, and, either;
because the wound was mortal or from q
Just sense of indignation at the ungeneri
Gus requitsl of his exertions, he never rel
turned. From that time on the maggots
and other bugs held high carnival in that
patch, and the Captain has been unable
to raise any onions there since.

RELIGIOUS READING.
DoRCAS.

DORCAS.
At Joppa Christian woman
Had fallen sick and died,
A humble-minded woman.
Yet all the neighbors cried:
'sWhat shall we do without herT
And one had gracs to say:
stAt Lydia tarries Peter,
Fetch him without delay"
And so across the country
Some fifteen miles or more,
Two men to meet the sunrise
Sped frcm the rugged shore
To 'the saints who dwelt at LYDIA
Finding comfort in their need,
For prayers to heaven, faith-laden,
Gave the three men gcdspeed.
Warm hearts have held the picture
For eighteen hundred years;
The group within that upper room,
The sobs laments and tears,
The widow, weeping showing
The coats that she had pade,"
Like bit Of ancient tapestry
Time mellows every shade.
This Tabitha, called Dorcas
Her quiet life had filled
With 'good works and with alms-deeds.H
We read not, ''She had willed
Her frugal, hard-earned savings
A church or school to found,
That after death her prai-es
In public might resound."
All her sweet life consisted
In sowing loving seed,
In caring for her neighbors,
In thought and word and deed;
~ 1a- - lor Jal
To comfort hearts like ours,
Like precious jars of sweet perfume
Wrung from long-withered flowers

MY OWN PICTURED

Suppose all Christians were just like mel
What would become of the world? Suppose
none prayed more, or more fervently, how
many sinners would be awakened? How
many revivals sent? Suppose none were mora
faithful in exhorting the impenitent how
many would be led to Christ? If none evinced
more Of the power and spirit Of holiness in
their lives, how many gainsayers and skeptlcs
would be convinced and put to silence? II
none were more libsral than I am, how would
the pastor be sustained, the gospel spread
the Kingdom Of the Redeemer extende to
the ends Of the earth? In short If all Chris
tians were just like me, when would the mil
lennium come-the day Of 10 g triumph,
when there shall be one Lord and his name
one-every knee bowling, and every tongue
confessing 10 him alone? Alas! have / not
too much reason to fear that that happy day
Is yet far distant if no one is to be more ef-
fcient in bringing it about than am? Oh,
If my faith and my iberality were the meas
ure for tho whole Church, there would be q
sad prospect for this dark, ruined worldl
Who would take care of our country, if no one
was more willing to sacrifice his own case
and comfort for it than am? Who would
give the water of eternal life to famishing
millions in heather lands, If no one had
more bowels of compassion than I havef
And why should any one feel more response
bility in this matter than do? III can
free my skirts, why not others9 Have we
not all one Master, one judge to whom We must
render our account? If then I can
answer for my delinquencies, other. will
have no more difficulty. There is no justice
in easing one, while the rest are burdened
II can get any disposition to serve Mann
mon, or BeliaI, or self, why may not others9
II may love the Lord with less than my

neighbor less than myself 50 may y,t,. every cry

The Tribes Of Terra Del Fuego.

The people of Terra Del Fuego, said;
an English missionary, wear no dress
save small skin thrown over the shoul-
ders, but they smear their bodies with
mixture of train oil and red earth as -
protection against cold. They support
themselves, as rule, by hunting, and
when all other supplies fail they sustain
themselves by feeding on shell fsh.
This diet is very apt to cause indigestion,
to cure which they rely on fungus. They
are nomadic in their habits, moving
about from place to place in their bark
canoes, in the centre of which q fire is
always burning. Each canoe contains
a family, the wife rowing, while the hus-
band is always on watch with his jaye-
Lin. !; e
Three different kinds Of spears are all
ways carried, one for birds, a second for
fish, and third for crabs. On landing
the woman has, first of all to carry her
husband ashore, he holding the fire care
fully above the water. When every
thing is ashore the woman at once begins
the erection Of their primatiye hut. The
men are rarely able to swim, but the
women are, as rule, expert swimmers, b
and this, together with their constant
work at rowing, gives them extraordinary
muscular power. To maintain their posi-
ton as lords of creation the men have re-
course to mysterious rites, from which
the women are excluded. Pdygamy "a
practiced to the extent Of each man
usually having two wives-an older and
younger one.
Without writing of any kind, they yet
preserve many rules and customs, more
OF less traditional, and mainly relating to-,
the chase. They are good natured and
helpful, not addicted to lying or theft,
but are very tenacious in the defense Of
their rights. They love long stories and
conversations, and in these a good part
of their time is spent. One of Their
tales, of an extraordinary strong man
who was made of stone, and ultimately
was killed by a thorn entering vulnera-
BILE spot in his heel, recalls the story Of
Achilles. Devoid OF all religious ideas
and duties, they have vague idea OF the
spirits of the departed wandering about
in the world, and as greatly to be feared.

! WORDS I,. OF WISDOM.

Life is crucible; we are thrown lntoi
it and tried.
Labor rids us of three evils-tedlous1
ness, vice and poverty. E,9
ouarrels would never last long If the
trouble was only on one side. &
The man who can support himself Is
always on top Of his obligations.
Remember impertinence isn't wit, any
more than insolence is brilliancy.
Our greatest glory is not In never fall
ing, but rising every time we fall.
That action is best which procures the
greatest happiness for the greatest num-
bers.
Our grand business is not to see Whist
lies dimly at distance, but to do what
lies clearly at hand.
We go and fancy that everybody Is
thinking of US, but he is not; he Il,
like US, thinking of himself. M
It requires great talent to affect exttay-
agant, manners, but the gem of origi-
nality is simplicity, which no talent can
initiate. y ~
Some one has well said that while we
can not control our circumstances, yet
we can control what we shall do in the
circumstances.
Pride, like the magnet; constantly
points to one object, self; but, unlike I
the magnet, it has no attractive pole, but
at all points repels.
Men do things which their fathers
would have deprecated, and then draw
about themselves fimsy Gordon Of
sophistry, and talk about the advance of
humanity and liberal thought, when it is .
nothing after all but preference for in-
di3idual license. ~ &
A certain amount of opposition is 8 &
great help to man. Kites rise against,
and not with the wind. Even q head
wind is better than none. No man ever
worked his passage anywhere In si
dead calm. Let no man wax pale,l
therefore, because of opposition.

THE Greek studies of Princess
Sophia, of Prussia, in preparation for
her marriage with the Grown Prince of
Greece remind one of the case of the
spirited Queen Emma of Holland, who
was German, being the daughter of
the Price of Waldeck-Pyrmont. She
learned Dutch in very short time,
but little after her marriage, cour-
tier, wishing to be agreeable, spoke to
her in German. Speak Dutch to me,
sir" she said, II am Dutch now, and
don't know German any more"

pANGERs From BEER DRINKING.

In appearance the beer drinker may be
the picture of health, but in reality he is
most incapable of resisting disease. A slight
injury, a severe cold, or a shock to the body
or mind will commonly provoke acute dis
ease, ending fatally. Compared with other
inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol,
he is more incurable and more generally dis
eased It is our observation that beer drink
ing in this country produces the very lowest
kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal
insanity. Themost dangerous class Of rufdans
in our large cities are beer drinkers. In.
tellectually a stupor amounting almost to
paralysis arrests the reason, changing all the
higher faculties into a mere animalism,
sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paro1Ysms. of anger, senseless and brutal
