foresight was unusually keen and
active. His death is indeed a great

Woman and the Jewish TaImud.

The Jewish Talmud has these SEN
fences about women: "a good wife is
heavens noblest gift. A housewife
never allows herself to be disturbed
from her work. Even while convers-
ing she is busily spinning. An old, ex-
perienced woman in household is an
ornament to it like a pearl. He who
lives in an unmarried state knows no
joys, none of the blessings of home,
and is without support. The man who
stands at the deathbed of his wife
feels like those who saw the temple
of Jerusalem reduced to ashes, for the
wife is the temple in which each man
finds repose and quiet, where he rests
after the labors of the day and where
he can give expression to his feelings,
joyful and mournful. God has given
to woman more ability of judging cor
rectly than man."

Happy Medium.

Are the moments wasted
In a hammock swinging,
Listening to the brides
Practicing their singing,
Or on the veranda
In rocker sitting,
Watching summer shadows
Ger the landscape fitting?
Are we truly sinful.
Useful labors sighting,
II we pack our tackle
When the fish are biting,
If we go a-Maying,
Natures features rubbing,
When the neighbors tell US
We were better grubbing?
Every blessed minute
Working like a beaver
Hands our nervous system
Down to the receiver.
It may bring US treasure,
Lengthen out our purses,
But it gets us ready
For a crew Of nurses.
There's an average proper.
One extreme is folly.
Too much Of the other
Brings us melancholy.
With judicious mixing
No returns are bitter
Half and half is better,
Neither slave nor gutter.

PARABLE OF THE TOBACCO SEED.

Then shall the kingdom of Satan
be likened to a grain of Tobacco
seed, which, though exceedingly
small, being cast into the ground
grew, and became a great plant,
and spread its leaves, rank and
broad, so that huge and vile worms
formed a habitation thereon. And
it came to pass, in the course of
time, that the sons of man looked
upon it, and thought it beautiful
to look upon and much TO be de-
sired to make lads look big and
manly. So they put forth their
hands and did chew thereof. And
some 1t made sick. And it further
came to pass that those who chew
ed it became weak and unmanly,
and said, 1--WE are enslaved, and
can not cease from chewing it,"
And the mouths of all that were
enslsved became foul; and they
we're seized with violent splitting !;
and they did spit, even in the
ladies parlors, and in the house
of the Lord, and the Saints of the
Most High were greatly plagued
thereby. And in the course of
time it came to pass that others
snuffed it, and they were taken
suddenly with fits, and they did
sneeze with a great and mighty
sneeze, insomuch that their eyes
we're filled with tears and they did
look exceedingly silly. And 9TH
ers cunningly wrought the leaves
into rolls, and did set fire to the
one end thereof, and did suck We
hemently at the other end thereof
ADD did look very grave and calf
like; and the smoke Of their tor
ment assembled up like fog. And
the cultivation thereof became a
great and mighty business in the
earth; and the merchants waxed
rich by the commerce thereof.
And it came to pass that the pro.
fessed saints Of the Most High de-
filed themselves Herewith; even
the poor who could not buy shoes,
nor bread, nor books for their lit
tie ones, spent their money for it.
And the Lord was greatly displeas-
ed Herewith and said, "Be ye
clean that bear the vessels of the
Lord" "Let US cleanse ourselves
from all filthiness of the flesh. "
Wherefore, come ye out from
among them aud be separate, saith
the Lord, and touch not the un-
clean thing, and 1 will receive
you" But, with one accord, they
exclaimed, "We can not cease from
chewing, snuffing and putting"
O, ye protested followers Of the
Lord Jesus Christ, will ye be
the slaves of nasty, poisonous
weed?
One is your Master, even Christ.
