commanding the United States Squadron IN

ceived by way of San Francisco OF the par.

neSe
The Admiral has sent all Of his available
ships to Shanghai, the point most threat
ened. The Alliance, Monocacy an1 Palos
constitute these forces. These are three
vessels of antiquated build, only one OF

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
RAPID COOLING OF MILK.

A prominent dairy authority says that
the rapid cooling of milk will prevent
the formation of delicate mesh of lac
toibrin in the milk, which would hinder
the globules from rising freely. Conse-
quently, he says, that if the milk is put
into the cooler at temperature above
ninety degrees and reduced Immediately
to forty y-eight or forty-hve degrees, the
Upward movement of the globules of fat
will be much more rapid and thorough.

TEMPERANCE.
THE ANGELS OF EVIL AND or GOOD

THE ANGELS OF EVIL AND or GOOD.
The Angel of Evil stood and said
Take, Mortal, take this cup:
It will cheer your heart anil clear your
head;
Take, take, and drink it up!
"When your feeling low. twill give you
When weak, twill make you strong;
It will comfort you when al alona
And when the world goes wrong
You need not indulge to vile excess,
But use your self-control;
Yet wine lightens care Subdues distrea1
And stays the fainting SOUL"
So the Angel Of Evil stood and spake,
AS on the cups full brink, -
The red wine cleaned, and he whispered-
Take,
o Mortal! take, and drinkw
But before the tempted one could drink,
The Guardian Angel rose,
And cried-"Nsyr Mortal beware, and
think,
Nor taste the cup Of woes.
beneath its light lies fatal spell,
Its pleasures turn to pains;
And its countless victims groaning tell
Of its scorchins. fiery chains.
Upon the wine whew it SMILES look not,
Nor court the joy itbrings;
For sanity souls it can fouIly blot,
And plant thousand stings.
Abstain, and seek for the grace Divine
Which gives you strength to stand
And labor to save from treacherouS wine
Your home and native landp
The Angel ceased, and the listener blest
The kind and warning voice.
And whosoever heeds the wise behestr
Will surely well rejoice.
For Wisdom's ways are tho ways Of peacs,
And pleasant everywhere;
And the joys Of those will never cease
Who Join good work to prayer.
