Harrow without Tongue.

A correspondent Of a farm paper,
who was not we'll satisfied with his
disk harrow while it had the tongue on
it, thus tells how he improved it:
have been using my disk harrow
without tongue, or rather, | cut the
tongue off just ahead Of the evener.
l find that this is very much more
satisfactory than to use with the
tongue: in turning all the horses help
turn the harrow instead Of the two
pole horses having to pry it around by
the pole. In addition to this, it takes
the weight off of the horses necks
when they stop.

We all get in the wilderness some
times, brethren. Wilderness of temp
tatlons, wilderness of trials; and it
gets very dark, and our hearts become
very heavy, but Jesus is with us in
the wilderness, and we shall follow
Him out. The devil can't keep you
there long. God grant that when we
do get out we may come as He did, in
the power of the Spirit. Peter was in
the wilderness when he heard the
chicken crow, and he went out into the
darkness to weep the bitter tears of
remorse. But he was out Of the wild
erness when he stood yonder at Pente-
| cost, and his words, like red-hot thun-
derbolts, smote the hearts of the as
tonished multitude. And then, by and
by, we shall follow Him to the grave
He went to the grave, and we must go
there, too.

other side of the grave and He shall

walked While here, we shall see then,
as we cannot now see, His wisdom in

His Terrible Prospect.

He was quiet and unobtrusive young
man. and he had called upon the same
girl regularly for five and one-half years
without in any way divulging his future
plan of campaign. Not unnarurally, the
damsel had grown weary of this, and to
clear the air she at last decided that
Henry must be firmly dealt with. So
one evening, when they were costly
seated on the couch, she said, without
any advance on the young mans part:
NO, no, Mr.. Bottlewash, | cannot
marry you; so it is useless for you to
call on me any more"
Alas" murmured the youth, what
shall | do? What shall | do?'

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

By Rev. Madison G. Peters, ID. d.
Text-"That thou highest war a
good warfare"-I Timothy /: Is.
1t has become common thing to
speak of the battle of life, and this is
tribute to the correctness of that
Scripture view of our life which we
are now called to consider. 1t shows
that the representation of Paul is
founded In human experience. Not that
1.-The battle of life' is strictly a Biblical
phrase, for Scripture speaks of our life
rather as a warfare than as a battle.
But the thought is the same-only in
the modern phrase the idea Is appar-
emily intensified, and the warfare Is
represented as SO continuous and sus-
tanned that the whole of our life Is
spoken of as If it were an unbroken
and uninterrupted battle.
The Christian life Is not mere 70
nance, but a warfare against all forms
of sin. Better the tumult of perpetual
conflict than the silent quiescence of
universal death. We would rather see
man struggling with the tide Of his
corruptions, than allowing himself
quietly to drift down the stream
Any dead fish can swim with the tide
We have more hope for a man who has
some difficulty in SHINING than for one
who sins without conjunction of con
science
We have a battle to fight. To re
strain appetites, to purify our affec
tons, to sanctify our natures, TO di
rect the eye of our ambition to life
beyond, to invigorate the intellect, to
transform and elevate pure hearts, this
il our mission, to overcome the world
Is our duty. There may be failures in
certain parts Of warfare. 1t may not
be victory at every point and every
hour of the battle, but its close will
assuredly be so. Rest Is certain, but
not here; the victory comes only on
the sable wings of death, but come it
shall, and then, from the scene of all
conflict we shall pass to the realm of
the crowned and sceptered warriors of
the Lord.

A Tolly Admiral.

When he accidentally fell from

was badly stunned, somebody cried for
