White Wyandottes.

we herewith present our readers
with an illustration of the White wy
andottes. They are of American origin.
and are sport from the well-known
Wyandottes. They originated some
years ago, and now are added to The
long list of varieties OF poultry. While
1t requires comparatively less time TO
nix the characteristics of poultry
than OF general live stock. and to per
petua;e their peculiarities so they can
merit the term of breed" it cannot

Good Tempered Ponies.

An extensive breeder OF ponies, in
England. says that for years past all
his stock have invariably proved of
good temper. which is essentially nee.
essary in them, as they are chiefly
used by ladies and children. To bring
about this desirable object. he has
been careful to use such stations only
as possessed a kind. gentle temper.

WORTH MORE THAN MONEY.

There is no way to estimate the
value OF books or publications TO the
family-we mean the right kind OF
books and publications, OF course.
Broadly, Il may be said, that such
book or publication may be worth as
much as the moral or religious char
acter, estimated in the light of this and
the future life. The pernIcious and
ruinous influence OF a bad book or
publication might be estimated in tie
same way.
Among other good and great pub
licalions the Youths Companion and
Sunday School Times, rank preemi-
nent. Too much cannot be said in
their praise Each covers n different
great field. Next to the Book OF Books.
these two papers are perhaps the
greatest Of publications. The old as
well rs the young appreciate them.
They are both cheap. The Companion.

Times is $1.00. Don't leave out
either OF these publications when you

THE CIRCUS AND RELIGION.

From time immemoriql-at least
from the birth Of the circus in this
country, the churches have been against
it. 1t has been regarded by the
pastors and churches generally, as
against the rules, written or unwritten,
for church members 70 attend the
circus In former days, in many sec
tons of the country, pleasure loving
church member, who would attend n
circus was speedily notified TO appear
before the church at the next regular
meeting, and answer if possible, TO the
serious charge Of attending worldly
show, and unless there was deep peni-
tence manifested, and promises of re-
formation, and mot TO do so any
more" the offender was cut off. The
harshncss and rigidity of this former
opposition, has very preceptibly chang
ed, and all we hear Of now is, perhaps.
a mild rebukc from some Of the breth-
rem or sisters, who still cling to the
notions OF long ago.
The churches opposition to the cir
Gus Is waning rapidly, even in the rural
districts, and what little remains is
mere sentiment.
On last Saturday, every church,
Sunday school, class and caste was

churches can't stop them. If there are
rules and laws on the church books

The public cannot see the harm in
offending n good circus, and will con
inue to attend. The prudent thing to
do, il seems, for the churches to turn
their guns, not upon the circus as a
whole, but upon the character of its
performances, and surroundings. In
other words, let the people demand a
clean, moral show.
There are grades of the circus. Some
