The Minister on the Farm

Amid the toughest rural scene
would | have every American pasto
spend his summer, all through until tn,
month of September Congregation
would be advantaged by it if for a few
weeks of every year they would allow
their pastors u little farm life. Three
weeks at a fashionable watering place
will not do the work. There is not
enough salts and sulphur in all the
springs to overcome the tight shoes,
and the uncomfortable gloves, and the
late hours, and the high living, and the
dresses economical at the neck. Rattle,
turn us out to physical work.
A sharp hoe will hack to pieces all
your dyspepsia. A pruning knife will
cut off the excressences of your DISPOSE
ton. The dash of the shower that
vets you to the skin will cool your
spirit for ecclesiastical strife. Daily
swinging of the ak will tone up your
nerves. Tramping down the hay as it
is tossed into the NOW will tread into
forgetfulness your little perplexities. In
the wake of the pillow you may pick up
strength with which to battle public
iniquity. Neighbors looking over the
fence may think we are only wedding
canteloupes, or splitting rails, or husk-
ing corn, when we are rebuilding om
strength, enkindling our spirits purify
ing our theology, and blessing our
souls.-Dr Talmage in Ladies' Home

hit upon a resource, by mere chance,
that got him easily through twelve
hours ride, and some other mother of
an uneasy lad may be glad to initiate
it. He got hold of a time table. one
on which was every station we passed,
and he spent the entire trip in watch
ing the progress of the train.
HE set his watch by the conductors,
and was as interested as the engineer
in making the stations on time. Once
the train lost twenty-five minutes,
which was a positive boon, for until
we had made that up my boy timed
the distances between mile posts in his
desire to watch the trains speed, and
when we got 'on time again he was
as pleased and proud as if he were re-
sponsible. A time table and watch are
the best of travelling companions for
boys. Her Point of View in New

THAT Exception CLAUSE"

July II, 1861, and February II,

issue of S60,Q0O,O0O of non-interest
bearing treasury notes. These notes,
known as "demand notes, were
made illegal tender for all debts
public and private" They were re-
celved always at par with both gold
and silver. There was certainly
nothing wrong about that. WHY

nothing wrong about that, but there

Tabby as "a Tramn

Some weeks ago a family removed
from Piedmont to Bismarck. Amone
other members of the family was the
household cat. Tabby did not like
the change, and for several days after
her arrival at Bismarck wandered
around aimlessly, mewing pitifully at
the cars as they passed. One day last
week the boys at the depot noticed
Iabby jumping on the trucks of the
southbound freight train. The con-
ductor and brakemen were told of
their extra passenger and resolved to
watch her. At Hogan Tabby was still
on the trucks; at Annapolis she was
routed by the boys, but climbed on
again before the train started; at Gad's
HUI she was fired" and chased into
the brush, but again she made connec-
IONS, and when the train reached Pied
mont she left her seat with the air of a
conqueror and trotted up town.-Iron-
