Men run to the devil and creep to-

Little troubles are big troubles to
little men.
There is no sin that dies a harder
death than pride.
The man who is slave to himself
has hard master.
Great things are done by learning
not to slight little ones.
The loafer never blames the right
man for his bad luck.
Our friends may leave us, but God
will still be very close.
There are many people who have
more religion than love.
The man who makes profession
that he does not live compels himself
to live lie.
The old serpent has not grown a
quarter of an inch since he tempted
Adam.
How soon the soul starves when it
begins to look at everything through
money.
Ii great things have been done by
faith why may not great things still be
done?

Look on the Bright Side.
Southern Farm.

Southern Farm.
There is no such sure method OF
keeping the health as to look on the
bright side of life, and keep as cheerful
as possible. Of course, there are sore
trials in this world, and they come to
us sooner or later, but until they do
come look only on the bright side OF
life. To be always looking for sorrow
will make the very strongest among
us weak. Take the world easily ;
make time for rest and enjoyment and
there will be less need for doctors.
The human mind can only bear so
much strain, and happy is he who has
the good sense to learn how far he can
60 with safety.
Neither can person be cheerful
and healthy who has nothing with
which to occupy himself. The more
varied the work so much more the
pleasure is there to be found in 1t but
even if it is one dreary grind, try to be
cheerful over it, and it won't seem so
dreary. Seek to find all the good
there is to be found in life, and look
only Tor the best trait in human be-
ings. If it seems all but impossible to
find any bright side to things keep on
trying to believe there is bright side
to things and you will surely find it.

Poultry Notes.

Give fowls shade.
Kill off all surplus roosters.
Give fowls air and exercise.
Give fowls lime, grit and light.
GIVE fowls fresh earth to scratch.
Give fowls fresh water twice day.
Oats should be crushed if fed to lit
tie chicks.
Do not feed much corn during the
summer.
Give the yarded poultry fresh meat
Or cut green bone.
Keep the little chick out OF the gras:
when 1t Is wet with rain or dew.
To have eggs keep we'll they must be
fresh when picked, sailed Or put down
Keep the fowls in dry place, but
give them plenty of fresh water daily
Air Stacked lime is cheap. Use II
freely every week-twlce, three times a
week.
If the runs are small and not easily
kept dry it is important that they be
spaded over often.
A poultry car, arranged properly will
furnish room for five thousand fowls.
Clean quarters, dust, kerosene oil and
fresh air are essential to success in sum
mer poultry keeping.
If the poultry are yarded give them
plenty of chopped grass, green oats,
clover Or fresh vegetables every day.
Keep the coops of the little chicks
we'll drenched with kerosene oil and
give the chicks busting of Scotch
snuff.
It is estimated that ten years ago
there was but one person engaged in
chicken raising where there are twenty
five to-day.
It is not necessary that large body
of water be had to raise ducks success
fully-give them plenty to drink and
they will grow without swim.
Light, exercise, green food and plen-
ty OF fresh water with dry quarters are
necessary to the health of the poultry
and the profit of their owner.
Dust the. sitting hens with Scotch
snuff and give the coops, into which
the newly Matched chicks are put, a
good dressing or drenching with kero-
sene oil.

Factory
TO LET.
West Randolph, Vermont.


The above cut represents the plant
constructed by the citizens of West RAM
dOlph, Vermont, not for profit but to
foster business in their town.
1t consists of factory 40x96 three sto.
ries and Observation-Disclosures 2ax80; 100
horsepower engine and boiler; dryhouse,
etc. All complete and ready tor immedi-
ate occupancy.
Randolph is one OF the most enterprise
ing towns in Vermont; situated In the
center OF the state, on the line OF the
CENTRAL VERMONT RAILROAD.
The buildings are well filled with wood
working machinery belonging to the COM
pany.
On account OF the abundance Of hard
woods in the vicinity and plenty Of skilled
labor at reasonable prices, it is favorable
to the manufacturing Offurniture, screens,
sash doors, blinds and interior furnishings
The rent for this very complete plant
is nOminal--hardly more than the wages
for one man. The object is to furnish la
Dor for the workmen OF the place.
Application may be made to any OF the
undersigned directors.

Living by Faith.

| Sunday evening, union service was held
In the Methodist church, and at its close
the following tract, printed In letters large
and black enough to be read by moonlight
was handed to every one in the congrega-
ton and even, O refinement OF cruelty! to
the clergymen themselves:
"READER-Do you think the preachers
by faith In God; while they ask price
for their ministry Some In this place
charge over s. day six days In the week,
chiefly for telling you to live by faith, and
that Salvation is without money and with
out price,
Furthermore, the streets have been dec
grated some days with brown paper plac.
ards setting forth this strange doctrine,
and other tracts have been distributed,
dwelling upon the same wonderful idea at
great length.
Salvation may be without money and
without price, but beefsteak and potatoes
are not, and we are expressly told In one
place In the Bible that they who serve the
altar shall live OF the altar.
Even II the ministers were willing to
clOthe their sons and daughters in the
cast Of garments Of the practitioners chill
dren, and to take their families and board
around among the faithful, it is doubtful
IL the faithful, after the parson had been
once around, would fight among them
selves for the pleasuresof entertaining him.
It is quite likely that the head Of some
house would be heard declaring that he
would turn Hottentot before he would
have that tribe at his home again.
This living BY faith, which, probably
for the first time in the history OF MAI,
has been taken to refer to the corporal
existence, reminds one OF the negro
preacher who demanded his salary from
the church stewards on the ground that
he couldn't preach on earth and board In
heaven.
They who preach the Gospel, more espe-
cially in country towns, are not, as a rule,
rolling In wealth. There are few bloated
capitalists or extensive landowners among
them. Their treasure, II they have any,
Is safely laid up where moth and rust do
not corrupt nor thieves break through and
steal.
AS for some OF the clergy in this place
having the audaclty to ask p q day six
days in the week, our friend, the tract dis
tributor, can rest easy; there are excellent
business men In every congregation, and
the workman Is worthy OF his hire or he
doesn't receive it.
Ii there were more business methods, |
and less hypocrisy and cant, in the con-
duct Of religious affairs, the spiritual re-
generation OF the world would proceed |
faster and along broader lines. The pres.
emit arrangement of requiting ministers is |
just and reasonable and productive OF no |
pernicious results. Certainly there is |
poverty and desolation enough in the |
country, among people incapable Of earn
ing an honest livelihood, without letting |
loose on the community lot OF ecclesi- |
astical tramps.

Pleasant Social Gathering-The Gillespie

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HooDTowN, February 8.-Your CORES
pondent had the pleasure of being at
''sociable' given to the young people of
Hoodtown and vicinity, last Friday night,
by Miss Annie Hood, at the residence Of
her father, Mr.. J. S. Hood. The young
people indulged in the social pleasures
until quite late hour, and all present
seemed to enjoy the occasion. A few
older persons enjoyed the gayeties of the
young folks for quite awhile.
The Gillespie bridge, over Bullock's
creek, was overhauled and repaired last
week. The contract was let sometime
ago to Mr.. Elijah McSwain; but owing to
sickness in the family, and other causes,
the work was not done until month ago.
The above will be very gratifying news to
the travelling public, as the bridge had
been considered very unsafe for several
months, some of the timbers being so
decayed as to barely mere than support
their own weight.
suppose from the frequent rains, old
mother earth is receiving the copious
showers to replenish the moisture lost
during the long drought of last fall and
the early part Of the winter. The sowing
of oats and other farm work is being
greatly retarded thereby.
AS see the "hog and hominy" ques-
ton so often raised now, must say that
our people are in better condition than
they have been for several years. The
great majority have their corn cribs and
smoke houses at home. I think, also,
that the majority are now in favor ofmak-
ing cotton surplus, by raising their sup
plies at home, in accordance with the
views of THE ENQUIRER.
The warm, damp weather is not at all
favorable to health. Colds are now quite
numerous, especially among those just re-
covering froin measles. FocE.
