Suddenly the church seemed 70 grow

damage may happen 90 its keeping quail

be more reasonable than that IL should

doubtless a well founded belief that tho

modified by the food that goes in at the

Forty years ago the harbor Of San
Francisco was filed with great feet of
ships that were lying idly at their an
chors. They had brought cargoes Of men
aud merchandise, but they could find no
cargoes TO carry away. Many Of these
ships never left the port They werc
hauled mp TO the land, and the hulks
furnished temporary shelter for hundreds
Of pioneers. To-day the docks are lined
with a great feet Of merchant ships--a

SUNRISE.


One rose before the dawn, and stole along
The dun shore waiting for the light TO be;
That he. before the unimpatient throng.
Might watch the sunrise on the splendid
sea.
And one who cared not for the glorious sight.
But for the Joy TO come with that first ray.
Han his easement TO greet there the light
That uskered in for him his wedding-dav.
But TO the One who gives both sea and shore.
Who from the darkness light and gladness
frees
Rises the sweetest hymn forevermore
Not from the lips of such glad souls as
these.
But from the bed where one all night, has
lain,
Shilling his means To let his watchers sleep.
Who suddenly across his bed of pain
Sees the faint gray of early morning creep.
He cannot haste with eager eyes to SEQ
Its coming; whether IL be dull or fair.
Thisday that dawns, he knows not; IL may he
It brings him suffering keener still to bear.
Ah, Cod how great the gift that Thou hast
given,
When those who only know the night i.
past
Send TO Thee, in Thy far-off. silent heaven.
The gladdest thanks that day has dawned
at last

Dcscrtions i'm tho Army.

Major General George Crook, command
ing the Division OF the Missouri has submit
ted his annual report to the Secretary oi
War. The subject of desertions Is given
prominent attention. He says:
The number OF descrters has increased a
rapidly OF lato years, and the remedies there.
for, which have been adopted, proved 40 en-
tirely useless TO prevent the ofrense, that
the greatest evil existing In the army Many
remedies have been proposed and many
causes assigned. Among these causes the

soldier is required To perform too
much manual labor, and that he Is sub
iected 10 harsh and tyrannical treatment
10y his officers and non-commissioned officers
a careful examination Of the subject leads
mo 10 the opinion that this statement Is true
only To n limited extent. While soldiers are
expected tn work when necessary, it will be
found, think, ON examination that the
amount of work required OF them is small,
aud that as far as thdir treatment by their
officers Is concerned IL is with some few ex.
ceptionS ms good as could be expected. I

AGRICuLruRAL FAms

AS this is the season for county fairs,
farmers should endeavor TO take time to
visit one or more. See what other farm
ers are doing, and If any have had good
success in growing better fruit or vege-
tables, or raising better stock than the
rest, strive to learn their methods. The
mission of the agricultural fair is two
fold. First, TO show us what is better
than that we have, and 20 awaken our
ambition to equal it; and next to teach
MS better methods Of doing our work
that we may produce better results A
day spent by an observing farmer or
gardener among those who are engaged
in the same business should be profit
able day, for the wisest will not fail to
find some ono who can teach him in some
branch OF his varied business, or M least
suggest some idea which will enable him
TO teach himself. The information which
farmer gains by searching after it, by
study and experiment, is more valuable
TO him, and is remembered longer, than
that gained by reading OF from lectures,
or rather, it is that which makes lee
lures and reading most useful ~ him. -

The Art of ProIonging Life.

Somewhat different advice must be
given with regard to bodily exercises in
their reference to longevity. Exercise is
essential TO the preservation OF health /;
inactivity is a potent cause of wasting
and degeneration. The vigor and equal
ity Of the circulation, the functions OF
the skin, and the aeration Of the blood
are all promoted by muscular activity,
which thus keeps UP IA proper balance
and relation between the important
organs Of the body. In youth, the vigor
OF the system is often so great that IL one
organ be sluggish another part will make
amends for the deficiency by acting
vicariously, and without any consequent
damage TO itself. In old age, the tasks
can not bc thus shifted from one organ to
another; the work allotted to each
sufficiently taxes its strength, and vi
carious action can not be performed with
out mischief. Hence the importance of
maintaining, ms far as possible, the
equable action of all the bodily organs.
so that the share of the vital processes
assigned to each shall be properly nc
complished. For this reason exercise is
an important part OF the conduct Of life
in old age; but discretion is absolutely
necessary. An old man should discover
by experience how much exercise lie can
take without exhausting his powers, and
should be careful never TO exceed the
limit Old persons are apt TO forget that
their staying powers are much less than
they once were, and that, while walk
OF two or three miles may prove easy and
pleasurable, the addition Of return
journey Of similar length will seriously
overtax the strength. -PopuLar Science

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
PHOSPHATE FOR GRASS LANDS.

Grass is of the same order of plants as
is wheat, and it is therefore only natural
that what helYs the grain should benefit
It also. Old pastures that have run down
so that the grass is thin may be greatly
helped by narrowing just as fall rains be-
gin, sowing timothy seed, and with it a
dressing of 200 pounds of phosphate.
Not only win the grass next season bc
more abundant, but stock will eat il more
closely, showing that it is richer in nutri-
ton than that grown before being fertil-
lied. Grass grown by the aid of fresh
barnyard manure may be rank and often
sive, while that grown with bone or any
mineral fertilizer is palatable to stock,
especially TO milch cows, which use much
bono material in making GOOD milk

REsrRrcrIoN ASSURES SUCCESS.

The Orchard and Garden credits the
tate 4. L. Roe with the following sensible
remarks; "The secret of success in
small fruit culture might be found in two
words-stimulation and restriction. BY
stimulation he meant thoroughly pull
verified and enriched soil This is es-
pecially essential TO the strawberry, the
foreign raspberry, aud all the currants. A
rampant growing raspberry like the Cuth-
bert or Turner, aud our vigorous blackber-
ries, do not require stimulation, but they do
restriction. BY restriction he meant the
development of fruit rather than wood or
vines. Set out strawberry plant in very
rich, deep, moist soil, and its tendency
is TO follow the great law OF nature and
propagate itself; but to the degree that
it makes plants it cannot make fruit.
Cnt off every runner and enormous fruit
buds are developed. The sap Is damned
up rs a miller restricts n stream, and the
result is strawberries that arc double in
size and quantity. This is equally true
with raspberrios. Currant bushes crowded
with wood bear but little fruit"
