the lower animals. His ewes are not

Jesus Christ-rose of Sharon and the
lily OF the valleys-to eschew evil and
pursue the path Of righteousness. which
Is irradiated by Thy smiIes-the path
which leadeth to the City Of God, the
heavenly Jerusalem above.
We notice that Messrs. @. L. Smith
and Edmund Hammett, mail contractor,
DO their duty. They essay to be puncs-
ual. which is essential In their important
busiress.
Blacksmiths have considerable work
to do. How civilization rapidly ad-
vances when the working in iron pro-
gresses- Whenever we hear of extern
sive smelling works being enacted, We
take courage and our optimistic views
enlarge. Isn't IL strange that brass,
which Is an alloy of copper and tin,
should have been the first metal used.
II Is difficult to understand; for the met
ais must have been known before the al
10y could be manufactured.
Schools continue to be well attended.
IL Is gratifying to ones feelings that the
principle which spurred the Cynics OF
old to keep their sect together is not in
dulged by any individual Of our ac-
quaintance. Antisthenese, with his sup

cause its Saturday, but my parents send
me to school from Monday to Friday in
elusive and they do not forget to caution
me not to forget to attend my Sunday
school class. Well, we suppose you
study history, do you not3 Yes, sir, but
there is one thing that puzzles me in the
study of this important branch ofknow-
ledge, namely, the stereotype falsities
which occasionally read, c. g., the bat

take place on the site, although monu-

l read ancient history and variations
like Xerxes scourging the sea and chain

tiers, it causes me to have serious doubts
as TO the truth Of the same. Good morn
ing, sir. Bright boy-a boy who thinks.
A boy who does not take supposing for
knowing. He may not acquire skill in
the invention Of media of proof, as upon
skill and aptness in this is founded very
largely the estimate In which the ability
of reasoner is held, yet, he will in all

Gardens are prosperous and vegetables
Of the pulse kind, escnlent roots, etc.,
have been largely planted.
We notice that butter making is be-
coming general upon q number of farms.
Don't! Please do not give it all to the
pigs. How we like butter milk. How
nourishing and cooling. Good butter
milk Is of much service, both as an ar
ticle of diet and remedy in consump-
tion, especially in the stage of the florid
species, so often met with in the young
and blooming.
Corn planting is over and we notice
that dropping corn by machinery is done
effectively, quickly and systematically.
The ingenuity of man is really wonder
full.
L has been quite cool since May COM
menced. Frequently fires are not un-
comfortable and blankets are not out of
place during nights.
That painting is an art no one will es-
say to deny. We know q gentleman,
Joseph J-e, of Scotland post Office,
who possesses secret of mixing paints
which we suppose he would not divulge
for a Transvaal gold mine. Like the
ancient laws, customs. ETC., of Egypt to
the hieroglyphic archeologist, our
friends secret is at the best conjecture.
His newly painted wagon is exceedingly
beautiful and the colors are so artistlcal-

IL grows and grass presents chrysolite
color-very comforting to the eye.
Miss Effie Wood, Smiths Greek, is vis-

Hawks and crows are very annoying
TO poultry raisers. Devices to circum-
vent them seem of no avail.
